    #10 - Yoga Flame!

    Spirituality is cool, it's great.. ..but a lot of people practicing it are really kind of mean at the core still. You start to look at the picture a little longer and you see another case of misguidance through deception. You take a spiritual philosophy with all kinds of crazy cool knowledge. Then, you bait people in with the good stuff, then you mold them to your will. I've noticed a lot of arrogance and belittlement with some of those "enlightened," and wondered if it were just.. performative? ..or is there something to this? Did someone come in and corrupt it like everything else? It's happened before and they say history has it's patterns. Here's a couple articles I found while wondering all this. https://www.engaged-zen.org/articles/Kobutsu-New_Age_Legacy.html https://medium.com/practical-growth/the-un-surprising-link-between-narcissism-and-new-age-spirituality-603a92988628 https://www.elephantjournal.com/2020/05/new-age-spirituality-is-sprinkled-with-narcissism/ youtube https://youtu.be/CUy-CbNgKPo rumble https://rumble.com/c/c-7860118?e9s=src_v1_cbl apple podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-conscious-inquiry-forum-with-brian-james/id1883772074 spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/1RP11MzlzeYBTOShInnmY1?si=c0af61d414c146a3 amazon music https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/07d257ba-9eaa-4073-80f1-c7dcd95c335d/the-conscious-inquiry-forum-with-brian-james subscribe to my PATREON https://patreon.com/u76060493?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink

    #6 - I'm Not Crying, You're Crying.

    I had come across an article about the effects of crying on the individual, and it made me think about examples where tears have a more biological/neurological function than many may think. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/sniffing-womens-tears-makes-men-less-aggressive/ https://www.psypost.org/does-crying-actually-make-you-feel-better-new-psychology-research-shows-it-depends-on-a-key-factor/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21212322/ youtube https://youtu.be/CUy-CbNgKPo rumble https://rumble.com/c/c-7860118?e9s=src_v1_cbl apple podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-conscious-inquiry-forum-with-brian-james/id1883772074 spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/1RP11MzlzeYBTOShInnmY1?si=c0af61d414c146a3 amazon music https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/07d257ba-9eaa-4073-80f1-c7dcd95c335d/the-conscious-inquiry-forum-with-brian-james For all my content ad-free, subscribe to my PATREON https://patreon.com/u76060493?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink
