To hear more, visit mindstrengthbalance.substack.com “If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn’t sit for a month.” — Theodore Roosevelt • A Strangely Late Response Last year I wrote to authors of books on dreams and dreaming asking for a brief review or comment on my soon-to-be-published book Dreaming comment about how to keep up with email, how to avoid spam, encouragement to read my book, and an invitation to collaborate on any topic of mutual interest. With regard to the question of whether we’d met I responded: “Certainly not. I don’t bother fraternizing with ‘colleagues’ since virtually no colleagues have anything to offer. If I have something worth saying, then I publish it.” You are responsible for what you cause but not what you trigger. The issues you cause are issues you either cause intentionally, or should be aware you’re causing as a direct consequence of what you do or say. The issues you trigger are associated with the issues you cause but may not be logically related to them. Triggered issues are reasonably related but not based on commonly or even uncommonly accepted reasons. Triggered issues cannot be accurately predicted. In most cases they cannot be predicted at all. • A Strange Response • An Attempt at Explanation • Cause and Effect • N****r • Separating the Good from the Bad • People Needing Therapy Create Therapeutic Situations • Has This Happened to You? • Are the Benefits Worth It? • Making Plans and Taking Chances

    Art, Architecture, Photography, Psychology, Society

    At 3pm EDT on Thursday, August 20, 2026 I will be hosted for a live, on-line presentation to the ANAXUM Photography and Cultural Club to explore and explain 20th Century Modern Architecture represented by the work of my father, the architectural photographer Ezra Stoller. You’re welcome to join the call, which will begin at 3pm EDT using this URL: https://meet.google.com/wpb-iwny-zzh The event is being held for a live audience at the Precenicco Civic Center, near Trieste, Italy. My presentation will be translationed from my English to mostly Italian speaking audience. The presentation will be hosted by Eleonora Oleotto, a photographer, artist, and coach (https://exploringemotions.net/). “I believe in photography as an extraordinary tool to see our emotions and feelings and to improve the relationship with ourselves and with others.” - Eleonora Oleotto The event is both an exploration of art, architecture, photography, and psychology, and support for the publication of my book, From the Eye of the Beholder, which is currently available through a Kickstarter campaign at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mindstrengthbalance/from-the-eye-of-the-beholder The presentation will begin with my review of the artists in my family who influenced me as I grew up, and then move to the artistry of my father, whose entire focus was on photography. His work combines his personal reticence regarding art with the extravagance of the leading 20th Century architects with whom he worked. The variety and turbulence of the work reflects the social, political, economic, and cultural turbulence of the middle 20th century. My father’s work highlighted these conflicts and concordances. These are exactly the forces that have now moved to dominate our 21st century. Personal thought mirrors social thought. Art, architecture, and photography inoculates social thought, and exposure to this then inoculates us individually. Without exposure to these arts we would remain static and limited in awareness.

    Soul Nectar, Pushing the Envelope with Kerri Hummingbird (podcast)

    I’ve included the audio portion of our interview. You can see the video version by clicking here: Pushing the Envelop (video) Science, Mystery, Awareness I am a scientist on the outside, but inwardly more shamanic or metaphysical. Science and mysticism were initially the same but gradually grew apart. The division is both artificial and unfortunate. They need to be combined, not separated. Whenever you see someone who practices one or the other you know they’re either out of date, closed minded, or dead inside. Many of the smartest people fit this description. The real questions about intellectual pursuits pertain to achieving creativity, just as the real questions about spiritual pursuits pertain to getting practical. Kerri is someone who appreciates this, and that makes it easy to build the bridges that we need to build to connect reality’s dots. What this amounts to is talking about childhood and parenting, learning, and growing up. The truth is you are still a child, always a parent, learning, and growing up. When you stop doing these things you start to rot. This describes most of the rich, famous, and powerful people today. If you want to help with today’s shift in consciousness, then you need to become a new kind of person: an adult child. Kerri Hummingbird Kerri Hummingbird, medicine woman, mother and mentor, is the founder of Inner Medicine Training, a mystery school opening the path to wisdom ,sharing potent ancient traditions from the Andes and Himalayas for owning your wisdom and living your purpose. “When did we need life to be so predictable and safe that it siphoned all the adventure and aliveness out? The antidote is questions and initiations to open the mystery back up by challenging everything we think we know.” “If you are wondering what the heck is going on, the answer is simple. We are in the process of a massive shift in consciousness that can most aptly be described as the metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly.” For more information, visit: www.kerrihummingbird.comWebsite: www.kerrihummingbird.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/kerri.hummingbird.samiInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kerri.hummingbird/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@soulnectarshowLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kerrihummingbird/ This is a public episode.

    Out of the Box and Into Your Adventure (podcast)

    My July 2026 conversation with Michael Waite, Brain Shaman, touching on issues of change, engagement, and the practical creation of one’s reality. SUMMARY We discuss living with honesty, courage, and commitment. Why meaningful growth means moving beyond conformity and rethinking the reward-driven paths. * Taking action without guarantees. * Embracing exploration for its own sake. * Giving yourself space to get lost while remaining calm. We explore creativity, lucid awareness in dreams and daily life, doing things you’re not good at, finding mentors, breaking the rules, exploring beyond the traditional boundaries of education and career, and not focusing on profit or reward. The conversation centers on expanding awareness, stepping out of limiting boxes and choosing a path guided by curiosity, authenticity, and adventure. https://www.brainshaman.com/2067421/episodes/18674859-lincoln-stoller-out-of-the-boxes-and-into-your-adventure-episode-180 MICHAEL WAITE, THE BRAIN SHAMAN Brain Shaman is a philosophical and scientific journey towards better brain health. Michael Waite discusses how you can change your brain state and overall nervous system via behavior, nutrition, nature, and technology. Mental illness, addiction, and low brain function are destroying so many people and societies. By becoming increasingly disconnected from our natural mind-body-world and plugged into the artificial ones, we are getting sicker, weaker, and less free. We must become more conscious of how the information that we consume (in the form of action, food, drugs, sensory input, media, etc.) affects our brain. This podcast teaches you how to reconnect with your primordial nature, reprogram your brain, regain your freedom, and redirect your life. This is a public episode.

    Ezra Stoller and Le Corbusier

    My father, Ezra Stoller, was Le Corbusier’s contemporary. They both shared the stage at an architecture award ceremony, and Ezra also received Corbu’s prickly arrogance. It’s been noted that despite Corbu’s celebrated reputation he consistently self-sabotaged himself. Stoller shot the famous images of Corbu’s famous chapel at Ronchamp, which are showcased in the book From the Eye of the Beholder. The book tells Stoller’s personal stories working with six of the 20th century’s leading architects and is available in a new high-quality edition on Kickstarter. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mindstrengthbalance/from-the-eye-of-the-beholder This is a public episode.

    The Insight of Deep Listening (podcast $)

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit mindstrengthbalance.substack.com “The sensory apparatus we know as the ear is simply an external attribute of the cerebral cortex.” — Dr. Alfred Tomatis, otolaryngologist and originator of sound-based therapies for communication, learning, and listening skills Hearing What do you ever really hear in all that you’re listening to? Do you hear all of your thoughts or just the ones that make the most sense? Some of our thoughts come as images or impulses, some as sensations, and others come with words attached. Our first impression often determines whether we focus on a thought or let it drift past. Not many thoughts are considered in our heads. Most of our thinking just flows past us as a kind of distracted story line. Ask someone for their opinion and you’ll get a burst that will fade away after a few sentences. If your question is not recharged by some act of relevance, reward, or rejection their comments will settle into a kind of closure. Consider conversations at a gathering, party, or social event. There will be a set of topics which people typically expect to hear about. These will be of short duration which will stimulate many associations. Common topics typically sustain five or ten minutes of discourse, but rarely more. We mostly use language to focus and form social contacts. There is little original thought or exploration of things that can’t easily be said. This limits us to rather superficial topics. It also limits how we tend to think when we’re on our own. We have similarly short conversations with ourselves, most of which don’t break new ground. As I write this I’m asking myself, “What is there to say on this topic? What can I say that goes beyond repetition?” I have to create or picture some structure before I start talking. To do otherwise is just to repeat things I’ve already heard. The value of what I say is determined by the importance of the questions it asks. • Focus • Attention Deficient, Normal, and Disordered • Listening Deeply • Hypnotic Listening • States of Trance • Insights and Hallucinations • Change Grows From Associations • Beyond Understanding • Integration Aims • Integration Skills • Integration Dreams My books The Skills of Sleep, Becoming Lucid, and Operating Manual For Enlightenment will help you. Don’t be misled into thinking that integration requires new experiences; new experiences just provide recent evidence. Integration means finding balance. You do this by exploring the boundaries of what unbalances you. This extends across all of your life. Let integration become a habit.

    The Jōrni Podcast - Love & Reason (podcast interview)

    The Jōrni Podcast with Petra Brunnbauer - Episode 401, July 7, 2026 Love refuses to behave the way logic says it should. It’s not love in particular, it’s any aspect of behavior that reaches across thought, feeling, memory, training, and habit. Whenever you have compulsion mixed with aspiration, need, and intention, reason is a poor tool. It’s not because these things are unreasonable, it’s because there are too many reasons.Maybe love was never a problem to solve, but a capacity to grow. We explore the idea that learning to love ourselves changes how we love everyone else, and why the questions that have no clean answer are often the most rewarding to explore. Lincoln Stoller works in private practice as both a counselor and coach helping people see how and why they have created their environment, their view of reality, and sense of self. His work comes together under the heading of mastering one’s state of mind through experience, aiming to raise his clients sense of purpose in all aspects of their lives.

    iNTv - The Ideas that Shape Modern Life (podcast)

    I join iNTv to discuss responsibility, mental health, dreams, child development, independent thinking, and the search for meaning in modern life. Drawing from backgrounds in theoretical physics, psychotherapy, hypnosis, neurofeedback, and education, Lincoln argues that genuine learning requires responsibility, feedback, and real engagement with the consequences of our actions. We explore why many people struggle to change, how childhood experiences shape adult behavior, and what parents and educators may be getting wrong about human development. We also discuss dreams, psychedelics, hypnosis, self-respect, individuality, addiction, purpose, and why raising independent thinkers begins with taking children seriously as people. Topics include: • Responsibility and personal growth• Mental health, meaning, and self-respect• Dreams, hypnosis, and psychedelics• Child development and education• Independent thinking and individuality• Parenting, mentorship, and emotional responsibility• The future of culture and human flourishing Listen to our conversation on Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/intv-interviews-lincoln-stoller-on-responsibility-meaning/id1896475149 This is a public episode.
