    The Kingdom of Selfdom's Hidden Satisfaction

    The Kingdom of Selfdom's Hidden Satisfaction

    Hello my Friends! Welcome back to the Show! I am very excited to be back after my small Hiatus. Odin and I have been busy with various rituals from a Wedding, to a Concert, to learning how to evaluate and commit to Self-Care! I would like to share some stories with you and then philosophize about the relatable aspects of finding satisfaction in all of our lives. What is the difference between Pleasure and Satisfaction? If we work harder for something is it more satisfying? Do all good things take time, effort, and Sacrifice? This and much, much more on this episode of "The Ginger Bread Man!"

    Halfway through the show I continue where I left off on the last chapter of Aldous Huxley's 'Island.' This book has had a tremendous impact on me, I hope you enjoy my amatuer performance. If you haven't heard last weeks episode, be sure to go back and listen for the beginning of this chapter.

    Finally, We will have Odo sign you off with some words of Wisdom! I will be forevor grateful for your attention and ears, If you would like to talk about anything, or need a friend, please email me at thegingerbreadmansdialogues@gmail.com. Have a wonderful Week!

    Science's Contributions to Mysticism

    Science's Contributions to Mysticism

    Hello my Friends! Welcome Back to "The Ginger Bread Man!" 

    This week I want to dig into Science a little bit. I spent alot of time being Staunchly anti-science, regrettably, that I have only recently returned to reading more scientific material. I have been reading a book called "The Tao of Physics" by Fritjof Capra, whom I unfortunately called 'Frank' in the episode because I am dumb. This and Sartre's Existential theories have made me very curious about the interconnections of East and West, Scientific Empericism and Mystic Subjectivism. And the interconnectedness of everything little thing in this whole thing. Man, am I excited.

    The last half of the Episode, approximately 15 minutes in, I begin the last Chapter of Aldous Huxley's "Island", without any spoilers. This man has seriously impressed me, and I hope you enjoy my performance of this work that had an immense impact on me. 

    You can email me any time at thegingerbreadmansdialogues@gmail.com. I will be forevor grateful for your attention and ears. I hope you have a great week!

    Accelerating and Decelerating the Vehicle

    Accelerating and Decelerating the Vehicle

    Hello my Friends! Welcome back to "The Ginger Bread Man!"

    This week I will be discussing some older concepts from the show including how we have some degree of control over bodily processes, especially when it comes to slowing ourselves down and speeding ourselves up! This also ties into our interconnectedness with the rest of the world.

    Towards the end of the show I share an excerpt from Aldous Huxley's Island, a profound book and concise way to tie up some of these ideas. 

    I will be forevor grateful for your attention and ears! Have a great Week!

    Animosity in a Changing World

    Hello My Friends! Welcome back to my Show, I am really glad you are here! 

    This week I vent a little bit about my frustrations with The Business Mindset, A classical argument between Materialism and the Formless develops as a I describe what it is like to encounter change in our lives. What parts of our being are Resistant to New Things? 

    Afterwards I break apart Verse 42 from Brook Ziporyn's Daodejing. Then we will adventure into the Extraordinary world of Aldous Huxley's Island. Lastly, Odin will sign you off with some pleasent childish introspections. 

    I will be forevor grateful for your Attention and Ears! If you would like to talk about Anything please email me at thegingerbreadmansdialogues@gmail.com. Have a Wonderful Week!

    Existential Excursions into the Confusion of Time!

    Existential Excursions into the Confusion of Time!

    Hello my friends! 

    This week I would like to discuss the concept of time through a Buddhist and existential Lense. This is a deep one guys, but I don't think any of you are averse to the deep end. I will also be further elucidating some terms from Sartre's Existentialism such as Being-In-Itself and Being-For-Itself. I'm on shaky ground here because I barely understand it myself, but I tried! Let's get out of the past, stop worrying about the future, and consider our reactions to the present on this weeks episode of "The Ginger Bread Man!"

    I will be forever grateful your to Attention and Ears! I hope you have a great week! You can email me about Anything at thegingerbreadmansdialogues@gmail.com!
