The Next Evolution of Man
9m · PublishedToday I want to discuss evolution. There are many ways to think about evolving:
- Individual evolution, societal evolution, human evolution
- Evolutions like Homo Erectus to Homo Sapien, etc.
- Agricultural age, to Industrial Age, to Information age
- An individual growing through identification with self to identification with society
- etc.
A good definition of evolution is this: A gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form.
Bring It Back To The Breath
8m · PublishedIn this show I promise not to be too deep. Today I spend a few moments fostering presence with you. I open with a couple of conscious breaths, then onto examples of, and reasons for, bringing your focus back to your breath. I end mentioning that in regard to any learning, we deeply need to apply what we learn. Learning alone isn’t enough. Without application, it’s just spin.
Fostering presence will be the next evolution of man. Join in that evolution by bringing your attention back to your breath.
Are We Stuck In Time
8m · PublishedIn this talk I describe why we seem to be stuck in time, and what an enlightened mind might look like.
If we have the fundamental understanding that there is only this moment; meaning we cannot leave it to go elsewhere, or more specifically that time is a construct of thought, we can start to understand that we need to relate differently to this moment.
Making Changes – Intention, Hypnosis, NLP, Goal Setting
20m · PublishedToday’s show will be a brief overview of the power of Intention Setting, Hypnosis, Neural Linguistic Programming, Hemi Sync, Goal Setting and Positive Thinking. All of these “technologies” affect our opinions and beliefs, and hence our perception of the world.

Why We Can’t Hold On To Stillness
10m · PublishedIn this talk I want to discuss what might be our biggest challenge. To find a state of stillness, and remain productive in the world. How do we accomplish, while remaining present.
Why are most of us unable to hold on to stillness? Many of us can find stillness, but why isn’t it easier to just stay there? This talk assumes that you know what I mean when I say stillness. Some call it big mind, or a state of presence.
I did a talk before called Stillness in Motion. While this talk is similar, it will differ in the level we’re talking about. Stillness in motion was a talk about the feeling of holding stillness while we do things.

Dealing with Death – Ours and Others
33m · PublishedFear of death and the unknown is enormous. But death makes everything matter. Living forever would take value away from lots of things. You’d be able to take literally forever to master things, so being a master chef as an example would have little meaning. We’d constantly be approaching everyone knowing everything, with no risk because we’d have forever to fix any problems, etc. It would be a very different existence for sure. Certainly different than most people would fantasize. Death is a part of life, and it is something we’ll do well to get more comfortable with.

Ending Addiction For Good
22m · PublishedWe’re going to discuss what addiction is, and then talk about how we can come to terms with it and what can we do to stop it. To do this, I’ll talk about addiction, in broad terms. Then we’ll do a quick exercise that might help you find what your addictions are. This could be considered an addiction “workshop”, albeit a very short one. Then we’re going to discuss the different quality of being that allows for better choices. That state of mind, one of presence, can help us end addiction.
Can We Make It All Sacred
15m · PublishedIf we as a people could see the importance in loosening our attachment to sacred things, or rather, notice that everything is sacred, we could begin to end conflict. No land is better than any other land. Everything has the essence of being in it. Space does, objects do. That awareness is in you, so learn to foster it. Realize that when you are in a mind of preference, that you might be able to look at things differently. You might be able to see that it’s all sacred.

The Pressure We Create
12m · PublishedSo what pressure are you creating? This talk points out that we can spend time working on, or watching, what pressures we create for ourselves. The exercise we could do would be to learn to find your self created limits, or pressures. Once you see what yours are, you may choose to soften them, or you may not. It’s nice to learn that you can lose your job You can move. Your life could be different. The other side of that is the fact that a conscious goal is a powerful one. We can choose to work harder for our pressures if we really want to hold onto them.
What Does Paradox Have To Do With It?
15m · PublishedQuestion I’d really like answered for a future talk: What, if anything, would be the best thing humans could do to make the world a better place? Please leave an answer as a comment to this blog or email me directly.
In this talk we explore paradoxes and logic and point out where we’ll find them in learning about stillness.
One interesting paradox is “This sentence is false.” Another might have to do with using language to define impossible situations. The logical mind doesn’t like paradoxes.
