Monologue rundowns coupled with readings from my book, Cognitive Liberty. This Podcast is my way of sharing my book with the world in an audible format. It’s a deep dive into the arts and sciences of our humanity in attempt to synchronize our evolution with our creative process as individuals and as a collective.
In each episode, I plan to provide brief rundowns and background information based on why I wrote the book and where its relevance lies in the world today. It’s a journey of recognizing how Mankind is at a crossroads.
Our social systems are breaking down because we’ve lost touch with our ecological position in the natural world. We’ve become utterly distracted by the fast-paced demands of daily life to the point where we’ve lost track of who we are. We’ve forgotten how to work as a team and nurture the partnerships that helped us be who we are today.
Our neglected partnerships and abusive attitude toward our homeland reflect a mass symptom of ignorance that begs me to question the sanity of modern culture. Our inability to apply our attention to our intention has placed our species into vulnerable territory. Nature beckons us to wake up and remember who’s in charge.
The research explored throughout this book is based on the personal evolutionary process of creativity: our way of relating to the world. The reason this exploration is so personal is that it deals with the universal qualities of consciousness, as experienced uniquely by each individual on a subjective level.
Thus, the theme of this project is to identify the objective aspect of evolving human consciousness by means of cognitive liberation. This quest is meant to address the peculiar problems of the unconscious and subconscious that shape ordinary experiences. This book considers consciousness as the locus of evolutionary change.
What does it mean to be free from insecurity, to not get caught up in the trap of our minds and carried away from what truly matters in life?
Cognitive Liberty offers our bodies and brains a resolution to our being, and embrace life as a journey on its own terms. It’s a friendly reminder that we’re part of a learning process in constant stages of development and indeterminism. The more we’re able to have fun with the process, the greater the freedom we experience in return.

In this episode, I begin to tackle the age-old mystery of consciousness, how it works, what it does, and why it matters in our lives as we begin the new year of 2024. Though I do not claim to even have begun to scratch the surface of this elusive topic, this is the point in my book that is the cornerstone of my research and what this book attempts to unpack as it aims to understand consciousness as the ground of being. Contrary to popular belief and scientific dogma that the brain is what generates consciousness, I would argue that the brain is more of a receiver of consciousness, and secondary to cognitive functions, which is what will T-off part two of this section - the last of Part I and of this Chapter on The Evolution of The Brain. Stay tuned!
Thanks again for listening and for all your support!

In this episode, I talk about neuroplasticity to demystify it as a concept by looking at it more like a process that is constantly in motion because it characterizes the very notion of evolution. The fact that we're made of drugs speaks to this idea that we are always going through changes in neurochemical structure from one state of consciousness to another. Just as emotions are primary drivers of our physiology, our neurological wiring compliments this ability we have to influence our states of being. The best news is that we have a choice in how we think, feel, and behave. In the coming new year, let's use it wisely!
I hope you enjoy this episode and the reading from my book.

21. Survival Mode
Hi folks, be sure to get a copy of the book from select retailers, including Amazon and iTunes, so you can read along!
Major shout out to TOOL! I recorded this segment within 24 hours after seeing them play the best show I have ever had the pleasure of attending. Which was something that had been on my bucket list for years. Since the show, I feel like I have crossed over to a whole new dimension of self-discovery as an artist. Thank you, Danny, Adam, Justin, and Maynard for all of your work and mastership.
This segment is about Survival Mode and its implications on our cognitive functions that can either help or hinder our neurobiological makeup.
I hope you enjoy this episode and the reading from my book.

20. Intro to Ch. 3: The Evolution of the Brain
Thanks for tuning in folks! Feel free to get a copy of the book so you can read along - it's available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iTunes, and wherever books are sold! Here's a URL hub to check it out, just click on the icon store of choice at the bottom of the page on the link below:

In this episode, I talk about a recent challenge I had in the fermentary moments before I recorded this segment. Thanks to the uplifting spirit of Monty Python humor and the Institute of HeartMath's research in cultivating Heart-Brain coherence, I was able to transcend my frustration into an appreciation of the moment to access real solutions to the problems at hand.
This is a testimony of how the brain is an adaptable social organ. It responds to over 90% of the signals from the heart and its consciousness. The internal and external environmental forces at play seem to pull the strings from one moment to the next, and our brains and bodies respond accordingly. But as Dr. Joe Dispense points out in his work, to be greater than the environment, the body, and time means we need to cultivate a new way of being present and in the moment. When we choose how to be, we can shift into a new realm of thinking, feeling, and behaving.
I hope you enjoy this episode and the reading from my book.

19. Liberation as Boundary Dissolution
This episode is the last section of Chapter 2. I talk about what makes cognitive freedom relevant to our cultural conditioning and our egoic habits that leave us disillusioned and astray. In part, I actually introduce a simple Taoist concept, one that speaks directly to the essence of this project and its definition. A concept that I plan to go a little deeper on in the future episodes of chapter 3 just around the corner.

18. Integrating Feedback
Get a copy of Cognitive Liberty to read along. Just click the icon store of choice.
This episode is about integrating feedback and what this means in our societal evolution. Our cognitive liberation often depends on questioning who we are, and what the self is, and recognizing that the things we’re told and the things we believe could be a falsehood leading us astray.
I hope you enjoy this episode and the reading from my book.
Huge shout out to Bill Hicks! R.I.P. sir, we love you and miss you, always.

Customer Reviews
The Mind and the Heart
I am the creator of a forest bathing retreat in Vermont and I value how this podcast presenter and author has connected us to the heart as a way to process and to connect to intuition and our feelings. And much more as the heart can support us in thinking through decisions in our life esp. at times of challenge and hardship. This is the work I do at my retreat space, too, and I value Chris in explaining concepts that are often hard to understand…maybe again because we are trying too hard to find a result. I just heard the You Tube artist Jonna Jinton say , “I don’t chase, I attract.” This is what I believe Chris is talking about as we hold energy as beings and the more we try to push and control, the less the positive energy will be attracted to us as beings.
Thank you, Chris, for bringing these ideas into the conversation.
