(Blog): Now is All You Have

Rick Jordan: Reflections on Zen, Spirituality, and Inquiring the Idea of "Self"

I am myself surprised — it is actually happening! The first interview within the long history of Profound Journey. In this episode I am talking to my good friend Rick Jordan, a Sangha member of the Zen Buddhist group I started meditating with since my time in New Zealand started. Together we dive into various realms of practise, Ricks personal story and path to meditation, our understanding of spirituality, the concept of self and how to continue inquiring the mind and our beingness in this physical realm — especially after gaining insight into the inherent emptiness of all the things we hold so dear in this world.

(Blog): The Voice in Your Head

A reflection on the internal monologue, how it shapes our world and sense of self, and about our choice to believe it. ►► If you want to get in touch or have questions: vincent.nikos@gmail.com ►► Check out the newsletter on Substack → here [https://profoundjourney.substack.com/?utm_campaign=profile_chips]

(Blog): Trusting the Unknown

In this episode of Profound Journey, I reflect on life with only €237 in my pocket, the strange calm that still persists, and what three months of Muay Thai training taught me about self-trust, detachment, and love. This one is about surrendering, questioning the role of money for a happy life, and becoming more okay with simply being. ___________________________________________ You can support me here: * PayPal: vincent.nikos@gmail.com * Wise: wise.com/pay/me/vincentnikosh [https://wise.com/pay/me/vincentnikosh] OR @vincentnikosh ___________________________________________ Episode resources: ►► Instagram: Profound Journey [https://www.instagram.com/vincenthuebler/] ►► If you want to get in touch or have questions: vincent.nikos@gmail.com ►► Check out the newsletter on Substack → here [https://substack.com/home/post/p-160789844]

(Blog): Why Don’t You Really Live Like You Know It’s Temporary?

This week’s episode stems from a question that’s been echoing in my mind for a while now—a question that reveals the gap between how I think about existence and how I’m actually living it, especially in the small things: how I treat myself, the worries I hold onto, the subtle ways I forget what truly matters. I will share the latest insights that feel like keys to a more joyful and fulfilling life—seeds gathered from deep conversations with newfound friends, personal reflections, and yes, even a thought-provoking exchange I had with ChatGPT about all of this. I invite you to listen to this mix of clarity, chaos, and curiosity. Enjoy. 😊 __________________________________________ Episode resources: ►► Instagram: Profound Journey [https://www.instagram.com/vincenthuebler/] ►► If you want to get in touch or have questions: vincent.nikos@gmail.com ►► Check out the newsletter on Substack → here [https://profoundjourney.substack.com]

(Blog): Now is All You Have

What do you do in a serious situation when you know you're about to enter a psychedelic journey after ingesting a tab of LSD? That's where I found myself when the ground started shaking in Northern Thailand due to a 7.7 magnitude earthquake that originated in Myanmar. In this episode, I want to share with you the insights I gained from that experience and offer a brief overview and personal take on ceremonial mind-altering facilitations. _________________________________ Episode resources: ►► Instagram ⁠Profound Journey⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/profound.journey/] ►► If you want to get in touch or have questions: ⁠vincent.nikos@gmail.com⁠ [vincent.nikos@gmail.com] ►► Check out the newsletter on Substack → ⁠here [ ⁠https://profoundjourney.substack.com⁠]
