The Ravens in Sedona

The isolation of education...creates childish adults?

“Childish” is a touchy term. I don’t mean to be judgmental. I’m pointing toward the way we carry a child’s needs into our adult lives under certain traumatic conditions. This one’s an edgy post. My thoughts are even more raw than usual, and I really spoke off the cuff about broad topics involving trauma, personality, and maturing into adulthood. It might not land well. I might be over-generalizing. Or it might hit too close to an unsolvable social problem? I’m gonna share it anyway. Because it’s important somehow…I know that. Even if I didn’t get it right on the first try. If you love it or hate it, you know where the comment button is ❤️ This is a public episode.

The Ravens in Sedona

Do I post this? I recorded it as a personal note, not meant for an audience. But trying to re-record it would lose its soul. Screw it. Here’s a bit of the “me” that isn’t trying to be smart in public. I traveled to Northern Arizona this week to do some hiking with my friend Joseph. On the day we drove to Sedona, I had a synchronistic experience—some things happened in the world around me that caught my attention for no particular reason, and they tied together into a personal revelation. What’s really crazy is that my astrology said it was going to happen. This is a public episode.

I found the Tao Te Ching by accident

(I got a new high-end microphone yay! But I didn't set the levels right and my voice is clipping in this ep, boo! Bear with me as I learn how to podcast.) I've been stressing about how I'm going to write an impressive book of philosophy. While getting out of my head by working with the dirt in the back yard, I realized the truth of flow, inter-relatedness, and the Middle Path. Here's a summary of how I got there, moving through the language of Kant and Jung. This is a public episode.
