The ritual of burial. And the recent story of burying my father. Habits Choices and Rituals.
Part 2 of Episode 12. My brother Dane and I converse about his continual progress, updates, spirituality, hope, and a Las Vegas run. In our last episode, we got some comments that it left off at somewhat of a cliffhanger; thus, we hope that this fills in some of the gaps.
"Hello darkness my old friend..." A lot of people talk about safety these days, but when it comes to trauma, the way to heal is not with more safety - instead it is THROUGH. Through the trauma is where you make the progress. This is the way. Joe Ryan shares his incredible story and the simple ingredient that made all the difference - actually feeling the pain! Joe Ryan has an amazing podcast called It's Not You; It's Your Trauma https://open.spotify.com/show/3JsBwMyHyqSuBK8l3mowDh joeryan.com/links
Melanie and I had a wonderful conversation about owning your perspective, and the journey it requires to have a perspective in the first place. Melanie spoke about her process of balancing being a lady and fully expressing herself in a way that works for her. We talked nature versus nurture regarding gender difference. And how to appreciate the difference between men and woman as the gift of polarity. People, if you want to find your voice, use it!
Family Strings Be Gone! Well, not really. Because family conditioning is kind of just stuck there, but you can get better and better at catching it. And then doing more well-defined behaviors one day at a time. If you don't think in systems, the system has you. You are stuck in the matrix... Wake up (red pill).
Great discussion with Dylan Bain on societal enmeshment. We discuss the problem of society's dogma and how that impacts our thought process. And most importantly how to become more self-differentiated in the current dogmatic political system.
In this solo podcast episode I talk about being in contact with the present moment and how that helps us become a more well defined self. Also, at about the 12 minute mark I did something a bit different, I facilitated a guided visualization/meditation exercise.
Discussion on Self-differentiation with Dane Gordon. Dane and I go back and forth on becoming more of a self by understanding the system one grows up in. We also talked about what to expect from others when you decide to change - its not exciting - but most people will adjust!

I used the wrong microphone. Nevertheless, I'm not going to over function and re-record. It is what it is, take it or leave it people :-)
