Live The Questions Now (Question & Response) | Jake Haber & Victor Shamas (7.12.26)

Jake was joined by Victor Shamas for a powerful and wide-ranging conversation responding to questions and topics submitted by our community! Tune in as we explore art, mindfulness, atheism, rebuilding spiritual practices, hero complexes, prayer, and more.    This conversation was inspired by the timeless Rainer Maria Rilke quote: "Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and... try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer."

Doing My Part (Part 4): Seven Generations | Jake Haber (7.5.26)

Every one of us is the living result of an unbroken chain stretching back thousands of generations. We inherit the resilience, wisdom, and love of those who came before us...and also their wounds, fears, and unfinished stories. In this message, we explore what it means to become a future ancestor: to recognize that our healing is never ours alone. Drawing upon the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) principle of considering the seventh generation to come, we reflect on how every act of transformation ripples backward and forward through time. Your life is more connected - and more meaningful - than you may have ever realized.   Quotes: “Historical trauma is cumulative emotional and psychological wounding over the lifespan and across generations, emanating from massive group trauma experiences.” — Maria Yellow Horse Brave Heart   “If we do not transform our pain, we will most assuredly transmit it.” — Richard Rohr   “Family dysfunction rolls down from generation to generation like a fire in the woods, taking down everything in its path until one person in one generation has the courage to turn and face the flames. That person brings peace to their ancestors and spares the children that follow.” — Terry Real   “We are looking ahead… to make every decision that we make relate to the welfare and well-being of the seventh generation to come.” — Oren Lyons   “Do unto those downstream as you would have those upstream do unto you.” — Wendell Berry
