#73: Reclaim Your Attention in a Distracted World
In this podcast, we will speak about reclaiming our attention in a distracted world. The modern world is constantly trying to hijack your attention, fragmenting it so that you become a slave to technology and the corporate machine. As a result, our attention spans are decreasing, leading to a world where we lack empathy, compassion, humility, a sense of community, and ultimate sanity. Eastern spirituality, on the other hand, is built around meditative techniques designed to hold our attention for lengthy periods of time which enhances peace and equanimity within the individual, leading to a world inhabited by sane and healthy people. The sad fact is, though, we're unconsciously choosing the insane alternative of distraction and this is inhibiting ones spirituality and ability to deeply practice meditation.

#71: Why Life Isn't Serious | Alan Watts, Sadhguru, and Taoism
In this podcast, we will explore whether or not life is really serious. Alan Watts was famous for asking his audiences if life is serious and this is also expounded by modern-day spiritual teachers such as Sadhguru. But this is nothing new. Eastern spirituality reveals that life fundamentally isn't serious once we transcend the identity/ego we have been trained to become because it is that isolated ego which takes everything seriously due to the illusion of separation.

#69: Loneliness on the Spiritual Path
In this podcast, we will speak about loneliness on the spiritual path. Loneliness is a byproduct of waking up that isolates one with the rest of the world who are dancing to beat of the same drum. The real inner spiritual work we need to embark on to heal loneliness is in inquiring why we depend on the validation and acceptance of others and also why are we attached to their opinions of us. Why can't we walk alone?

In this podcast, we will explain what the undifferentiated consciousness of Atman truly is and how it is completely different from the Western concept of the soul.

#67: The Paradox of Inevitable Progress
In this podcast, we will speak about the world's focus on inevitable progress at the expense of traditional knowledge. In a brief period of time, thousands of years of traditional knowledge and skills are being wiped out due to a modern idea of progress that might not be as progressive as what people think. There is a reason why many traditions have survived, helping humanity to evolve and grow into the amazing species we are. But that constant natural learning and growing is under threat due to a religious mentality that threatens the sanity of humanity. What is the apocalyptic religion?
