Post-Religion, Post-Education, Post-Indoctrination Are you ready to throw away the script placed in your hands at birth? Careful – a mind expanded will not shrink back to its original naïve state. Of course, if you are checking out a podcast in the Spirituality section of Podomatic that announces itself as being “Post-Religion, Post-Education, Post-Indoctrination”, then chances are you have already departed from the doctrine and dogma originally scripted for you at birth. Great. So, you are blazing the trail of self-education and tearing down the myths and fables that had blinded you from understanding your world. Did your family and friends go down that path with you? Probably not. It can be a lonely journey seeking truth – it always has been. Worse, if you are brave enough to open your mouth and engage people in conversation about your exciting new discoveries of how the world really works, they will ridicule, walk away, attack you, or just look at you dumbfounded. Just like in Plato’s “allegory of the cave” you are alone in your wisdom. How to cope? Hit Play - let’s find out together.

    Song: My Son is Addicted to Power!

    Walked in my son’s room and what did I see He’s making school posters saying, “Vote for Me” Shoulda seen it comin I guess I shoulda known But I really didn’t expect it from one of my own Started last year he joined the student council Didn’t suspect a thing - I just thought he was ill There he was studying; staying after school Student Body President; definitely not cool I said “son we are hippies” let live and let live We are not the taker’s, we are the ones who give Spread peace and harmony wherever you go Tap into the universe and go with the flow He said “Awe Dad, I won’t get rich doing that” I’ll start a foundation when my wallet is fat I just couldn’t take it, I pulled out some herb Said “let’s smoke a fatty before I get perturbed” Be like your brother, he is high as a kite You don’t see him grabbing for power and might He said “Dad peace and love are overrated I wanna live in a neighborhood that is gated I want a limousine that will drive me into work Where I will get a big fat bonus” he said with a smirk. “Say it’s not true, you must be joking” I pulled out my bong and started chain smoking I couldn’t take it any longer, I started to swoon He’s addicted to power, another Wall street tycoon Like that’s what we need Another Hedge Fund Manager gettin high on greed My own DNA has become a demon seed Plundering the earth to fill his endless needs Don’t go down this path, it leads to death and destruction He said, “Not for me, that’s not my dysfunction I’m headed for Goldman Sachs where I will do God’s work I thought “you f****n bastard”; really , what a jerk. He became class President, promised all kinds of shit And as you can image he delivered none of it Got a BS in economics and off to Harvard Law Grabbing millions of bucks with his grubby little paws Dating a super model shoving cocaine up her nose Everyday his greed just grows and grows and grows Trading in derivatives and pushing CDO’s Counting all his millions on his fingers and his toes Try to raise your kid’s right and this is how it goes They destroy all humanity, really frickin blows Now I got a new dilemma - a real peach He just bought us a home on Palm Beach Dou know I love the ocean, and it’s gotta great surf break So now I am a hypocrite; now I’m on the take It would be impolite to turn down this generous gift I don’t want to insult my son and get him pissed Now we live in luxury, although I really should hate it It’s really kinda nice living in a neighborhood that is gated There is no moral to the story, because I’ve lost them all Selling out feels great, we are having a ball. Don’t know why I ever cared about the poor and huddled masses I’ll throw some pocket change to help the lower classes
