Episode 33

You want a story? I'll tell you a story. And that story will be about stories and then I'll tell you how to write one of your own beyond the page--that is, with the stuff of your life-- that so vastly exceeds the possibilities inherent in the modern homogenized corporate model that you'll need to lick toads just to get your shit back together. 

The human being requires a teleological explanation, a narrative. Without it, we sink, follow, ossify, or explode. Humility can only be accessed through submission. Without humility, no genuine engagement. Through humility, discovery. 

We begin as always in the same place we end: with the breath, with prayer, with ritual. First hour contextualizes "context," and seizes the notion back from the claws of the hollow man. We talk training, weapons, peace, war, and the inescapable prioritization of feeling over reason insofar as the former precedes the latter. And then, we bring back the reins of reason and fit them to an actual piece of work. 

In hour two, the esoteric side, we tread into darker territory: inner work, nemesis, leisure, Criminal of Purpose, Dale Cooper, Emily Hightower, Rites and Ritual, Castaneda, Victor Frankl. 

There is no other place you'll find this type of mix. Next guest episode soon.
