The intention is to awaken, enlighten, enrich, and inspire. Timber Hawkeye, bestselling author of Buddhist Boot Camp and Faithfully Religionless, offers a secular approach to being at peace with the world, both within and around us. As the Dalai Lama says, "Don't try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist, use it to be a better whatever-you-already-are."

Integrity
What is the meaning of Integrity? How do you define it? And do you have the courage to build your life around your answer?
-
Equity
Once we understand the difference between Judgment and Discernment, we understand the difference between Equity and Equality. Whenever I find myself thinking something is unfair, I urge myself to think again using a wider lens that doesn't place me at the center of universe.

Shortsighted
We claim to fully understand what we have only partially experienced, and we dismiss other people's reality as invalid if it contradicts our own. That's our ego playing tricks on us until we argue and fight to prove that we are right by making someone else wrong. Yogananda called it "Feeling tall by cutting of the heads of other men." The entire concept that you are somehow separate from others is an illusion. We are here to snap out of our self-importance.

How We Feel
Understand your feelings and keep track of patterns that influence your emotional responses in life. Over time, you will learn to regulate your feelings in healthier ways, and stop blaming others for your state of mind.

Ceasefire
As long as I think there is a war inside of me, the battle will continue, but struggle is not a requirement. We can call a truce, enter a peace agreement, and stop fighting. If we want inner-peace, we must be peaceful.

Already Forgiven
What would life look like if we stopped beating ourselves up with guilt and shame, and started loving ourselves unconditionally?

Thank u
For sharing a means to a peaceful journey.
Easy to listen to
Nice voice to listen to. Loved the episode on survivors guilt while I’m grieving Palestine
Safe harbor in a storm
I discovered this podcast while desperately trying to find my way out of a time of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual distress. There is truth and depth to these discussions, yet they are so digestible and never overwhelming. Perfect for those who need a flicker of soft candlelight to self-reflect by, but aren’t ready to stand under the blazing sun. I love that Timber is so wise, yet also flawed. He is on the path with us, not pretending to be at the end- because there is no end. I’ve listened to every episode, but come back to listen when I lose my way and need help getting started again.
