I Don't Know Anything with Paige Harriman

Recorded for my dear friend L. We all love you! You are so special to us!

In this episode, I read the story of David and Angelina, from the book Anger by Thich Nhat Hanh.This episode was made in collaboration with Plum Village, a Buddhist monastery.

While in Miami for Art Basel, I stumbled across a studio, Robohood, owned by the developers of the original robotic painting technology! In this episode, I interview the studio artist, Crystal Joynt, about the future of creativity. (All I can say is WOW! I learned a lot! The future is so cool!!)This episode is from the archives and has been edited since its original publication.

In this short meditation tape, Go Fast Don't Die and I will show you how to let go (for dear life).

So it looks like your girl became an accidental cult reporter!Many people are e-mailing, calling, and texting me with stories of their cult experiences and escapes. One potential interviewee mailed me a DVD with some interesting audio demonstrations, including one about how to become a cult leader.This TOTALLY BANANAS track shows how cult leaders manipulate, procure, and brainwash their followers. I hope you'll find it entertaining/educational!(I tracked down where this recording originated from – Mind Control Made Easy (or How to Become a Cult Leader), a film made by Carey Burtt (1999)!

Olivia Eden was born into the Children of God, a notorious cult led by treacherous leaders David Brandt Berg and Karen Elva Zerby (also known as “Mamma Maria”).Rising Up from the Ashes of the Children of God Cult, Fire Walk with Olivia Eden – The Complete Series combines all three acts of her story: the Escape, the Confrontation, and the Resolution.

Look, I think Terence Mckenna (RIP) would have loved speaking to my tech-addicted, drinking-coffee-for-breakfast, giant-watch-wearing, productivity-book-consuming, living-on-the-Internet audience. So! Big software CEOs! Listen to him!

Your well-being depends on regular nourishment, not unlike flowers! In this short meditation, we'll create an emotional garden together.

Feel the Mystery! I have been doing this for a long time, and it is the best and most important feeling of all. (Here is a link to the original material.)

Aella, a thought leader on polyamory, shares her candid insights into non-traditional relationships. She discusses the challenges of communication, consent, and jealousy that come with loving multiple partners. Aella contrasts the emotional dynamics of monogamy and polyamory while addressing societal perceptions and stigmas faced by poly individuals. Personal anecdotes reveal the complexities of parenting in poly settings, and she reflects on the impact of self-image in attraction. The conversation emphasizes the importance of validation and connection in diverse relational frameworks.
