The Art of NGF: Undo Suffering Garrett Daun and Lance Leeson

Tonight on the Art of NGF show, Garrett and Floki--the mysterious Croatian boatbuilder--discuss the prison of tradition most people get trapped in, and steps you can take immediately to break free from it.



From Floki's perspective, the roots of human pain and suffering can be found in their unconscious addiction to repeating things they really don't want to be doing.



You might want to listen to this episode a couple times, and then pause to take some small, potent actions in your own life to step away from traditions that might just be draining you of precious life force and time...for no other reason than familiarity...

Long ago in the Emerald City, a younger version of Garrett Daun completed a Religious Studies and Creative Writing Degree at the University there.







During that time, he attended one of his favorite classes of all time: The Dark Self East and West, with a Japanese Shin Buddhist Priest as the professor. The course was known fondly among students as “The Dark Side” class.







The class and coursework was never easy, but it was always rewarding…as we dredged more deeply into our hidden dark sides and unearthed the numinous treasures there awaiting us.







Meet Professor Mark Unno.







Over the years, Garrett has kept in close contact with Mark, and a year ago, they decided to make a private podcast episode reserved only for Elite paid clients in the Radical Undoing 4 Week Intensive 2.0 course.







This is that interview.







During the call, Garrett and Mark explore the deeper meaning behind the singular practice of one branch of Shin Buddhism: recitation of the name of Amida Buddha.







Find out why the name Namo Amida Butsu, known as the Nembutsu to practitioners, holds so much value and relevance to your own life and impending death.







Get ready for a ride into your Dark Self…

We interviewed a very special guest–Jesse Lee Peterson–a couple years ago, but we decided at that time to keep the interview private for our paid clients.







After much consideration, and the coming relaunch of the Art of NGF show, we’re making it public.







Garrett and Jesse go deep into why men are so weak, why relationships don’t seem to last anymore, and what we can do about it as individuals.







They slay many sacred cows, and provide you, our dear listeners with actions you can start taking today to overcome anger forever, be right and do right in your life, and achieve abiding inner peace–no matter what seems to be happening in the external world.







Enjoy, and try out Jesse’s Silent Prayer right away.







You can find out more about Jesse and his work by visiting BOND.







As always, leave us an honest review, and get in touch to get started on your Mutant Evolution.

“I take this load on/ It is my life’s work/ to bring you into the light/ from out of the dark…” -Will Oldham in the song “My Life’s Work.”







In tonight’s episode, it’s my humble honor to bring you a very special guest, Mr. Will Oldham, known for his band Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, his acting performances onstage and film, and his many other inspiring projects and creative efforts.







Enjoy the inspiring discussion and glimpses into the life of a great artist and musician.







Take heed of the insights you can learn from listening deeply, and bring that inspiration into your life with joyous action.







Songs we mentioned during the talk:











“My Life’s Work” from album, Beware.











“Come In” from album by Palace Music: Lost Blues and Other Songs











“You Want That Picture” from album Lie Down in the Light











“Living in the Kingdom of Death” by Daniel Higgs

“This is it!”







“Fuck it…”







“It is what it is.”







So proclaimed our esteemed guest for this evening’s entertainments in a video from circa 2011 that I was lucky enough to find on youtube.







I would later use that video, and a handful of others from his “Killin’ It” series, in Radical Undoing workshops and courses to help elaborate on points I wanted the students to grasp.







After awhile, Paul Crik dropped off my radar, and I would occasionally wonder what happened to him?







Where did he go?







Was he still out there somewhere Killin’ It?







As it turns out, he is.







I found him on Instagram: @PaulCrik and noticed a huge array of videos I’d never seen before.







Golden nuggets of joy, quirky humor, and a deep love for reality and existence.







But the last one was posted sometime in 2017…so where did he go?







I ventured to send a private message to him, and this insanely delightful podcast episode was the eventual result.







This is also the illustrious 50th episode of the Art of NGF podcast, and I can say with ease that it was my favorite one of all.







If you’ve never heard of Paul Crik, or if you are a fan and practitioner of Killin’ It, you’re gonna love this one.







And when you do, click on over in itunes and leave us an honest, intelligent review (Ok, an honest one is fine).Enjoy, and remember to have fun.

The inimitable Robert Scheinfeld joins us for an off-the-charts mind-blowing talk about life, the universe, everything, and nothing.







Robert and Garrett go deep into the nature of the self, of reality, and how to experience what Robert calls “Ultimate Happiness” and “Ultimate Freedom.”







It’s definitely NOT what you think, and the only way to discover it for yourself is to buy the ticket and take the ride.







Thankfully, this podcast is still free (for now) and all you have to do to take the ride is sit back, listen, explore, and enjoy.







Ultimate Freedom coming your way…Now!
