Episode 12: How & Why To Write Poetry
Poetry is a most mysterious phenomenon. It is the heart of truth, the soul of emotion, closer to music than storytelling; the meaning of life revealed in rhythm, rhyme, sound and symbol, when words are woven with the loose gaze of the wandering mind. Logic has its rightful place and to some extent is part of every poem, but poetry comes from a unique angle, being the meaning we read between the lines, touching the depths of what we can never quite explain. Life without poetry is a desperate affair, whether one realises it or not. Often overlooked and underrated, many seem to think it’s neither necessary, cool, nor particularly interesting. Guess again, friend! You just haven’t yet found the poetry that sings the song of your soul, but it is out there somewhere – and perhaps in there, within. Even the most artistically apathetic person can’t help swaying in time to music, rapping along with Eminem as he flows, and falling to their heavenly doom at the hands of a few well-chosen words that illuminate whatever they have been living, or would like to live. This episode will teach you (with live demonstrations!) a few ways to write your own poetry, as only you can – to express your thoughts and feelings in ink and so create a feedback loop of elevated awareness and connection to beauty that will enrich every moment of your life – as well as discussing the profound nature of poetry and sharing some poems which I particularly love. This episode is abstract and practical, like poetry.

Episode 11: Surrendering the War on Drugs
Do you do drugs? Don’t answer that! I’ll respect your privacy. And which drugs anyway? Alcohol? Caffeine? Sugar? These all affect the mind enough to be properly called drugs – but they are the drugs modern industrial civilisation endorses, because they amplify its values of productivity, orderliness, political centralisation, cultural conformity and materialism. Other cultures in space and time have chosen different mind-altering substances as their own chemical allies in the pursuit of civilisational purpose, and give them nicer names, like ‘medicine’ or ‘magic potion’. The chief argument of this episode is that if you are not hurting anybody else, then you have the absolute right to put whatever substance you want into your body, free from persecution. Especially since many ‘drugs’ allow one to explore one’s own consciousness and sense of self; and if we can’t have such a freedom, then what freedom do we have at all? So let’s look at the case for why ALL drugs (or at least most) should be legalised and regulated; even those with a greater potential to cause us harm. We must see drug use in perspective as a fundamental human activity that can be good or bad depending on context and intention, and which like all things must be dealt with by education and consciousness, not by Big Brother beating us with a big stick. This is a controversial topic but if we can get this right, our societies will see immediate and exponential benefits, allowing us to flourish beyond anything we’ve come to expect.

Episode 10: The Ethics of Eating
Vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians, omnivores and carnivores unite! Let us discuss honestly the controversial question of what we should be eating. I offer my views on the pros and cons of each of these diets, in terms of optimising health and ecological flourishing while minimising the suffering of sentient beings. The core theme is that there are many roads up the mountain and we can and should and must learn to engage each other respectfully, accepting our differences and focusing on the common ground upon which we can begin to make practical changes to transform our world into a little bit more of a paradise.

Episode 9: The Low-hanging Fruit of Health
Health is the foundation upon which all else in our lives is built. All our dreams and schemes require it and blossom in direct proportion to the vitality of our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellness. This episode provides countless practical tips about what is and isn’t in our interests if we want to thrive on all levels. I am not an expert but just a curious soul with an appreciation for the gift of healthy living, so please do your own due diligence and research the topics addressed, particularly if you have any serious health ailments. That said, I hope this dive into health fascinates and inspires you to a deeper connection and commitment to balance. May all beings be well and happy!

Episode 8: The Gist of History
History isn’t over yet. It is not just the past but also the present and the future; the greatest story ever told – ever imaginable – as it is the sum and whole of all stories ever to be. This episode gives a brief (ahem) overview of world history, with a particular focus on Europe and the near East; vital knowledge for anyone who wants to know where they are and where they are going, wants to understand their true context in space and time. We also look at how and why things change in the world, giving history its momentum and flux. We look at the challenges presented by biased and incomplete information and how to approach historical sources so as to see clearly what is true, what is false and what is likely. You will also learn of the staggering revolution taking place in our understanding of the events of ‘prehistory’, and the increasingly strong evidence for a lost civilisation of great advancement, even up to the present day scoffed at by most mainstream historians. Most of all, I hope this episode gives you a sense of your own precious presence as an integral part of the flow of history – and your own power, opportunity and responsibility to be the change you want to see in this wonderful, chaotic, yet divinely ordered Earth in motion.

Episode 7: Awakening
Awakening is the single most important thing in your life. Truly! For it is to experience the mindblowing lucidity of pure awareness without thinking – which is actually who you are. It goes by many names, can be understood in many ways, and has formed the core of all major religions throughout history, but the essential point to understand is that human beings can ‘wake up’ to a wiser, more peaceful, loving, practically powerful and indeed very humorous sense of self existing hidden in all of us. Enlightenment is real, it is simple and it is easy – though overcoming the belief that it is difficult is indeed far from easy. In this episode we discuss the nature of the true (and false) self, practices for how you too can realise (or remember) your authentic deepest nature, and what this revelation might mean for the world ‘outside’ ourselves. I hope you (or I?) enjoy this one, as only you ever could.

Episode 5: Mother Nature
Let’s give it up for Mother Nature! What a gal. She gives us literally everything we have and asks nothing in return – don’t say she doesn’t speak, you’re just not listening! Or maybe you are. Maybe you too are aware just how plentiful are the gifts and opportunities dangled before us like lush fruits of the jungle as we spin through space at stunning speed. In this episode, I discuss the nature of nature (including reasons to think the Earth is literally a sentient entity) and why the prevalent self-hatred of humanity (often justified with reference to ecological abuses and failings of conscience) is but a juvenile cocoon ready to be released as the butterfly of forgiveness when we realise we ARE nature and that Gaia is doing this to herself, through us – and our awakening will also be hers. We are the cause of many terrible crises facing the biosphere but we are also the creatures that make music, poetry and paintings, that tell jokes and fall in love, study nature, play games, build rockets, care for the weak and read children bedtime stories. We must acknowledge and work on our darkness but must also see and celebrate our light, or else we will fail to unify enough to implement the powerful solutions which already exist, needing only mass public awareness to do their magic. We belong here, just as all Earthlings do – we need only find wisdom’s balance. We are Mother Nature’s sons and daughters and it’s time we came home to our senses, to embrace and give gratitude to our beautiful living planet.
P.S. Here’s the poem I couldn’t quite remember during the podcast:
“Our Home In The Stars”
Through window skies, crystal clear
should a far, lonesome traveller peer,
everyoung Nature will fill their eyes
in sweet, swaying light, dancing alone
No warmer welcome, no kinder prize,
our home in the stars, our garden stone.
Deep forgotten wells of stardust swell
into her flawless, flourishing flirt;
Love – the flower of life itself,
flowing wild woven clothes for her
She is the laugh and sigh and smile
of the slumbering Oneness, a precious sunlit isle,
and we are her dance amongst the stars,
to bloom and be the dreams we find afar

Episode 4: Twintuition
Tune in as I psychically connect with my twin brother Mark via various hilarious and generally flamboyant esoteric magical practices long ago encoded into our DNA and higher-dimensional astral skeletons. We discuss truth-seeking and the joys of seeing life as a journey of spiritual education; also the ways in which black magic aspersions such as 'conspiracy theorist' are often cast upon those who ask uncomfortable questions, whether it be by an individual seeking to explain away spooky contradictions or by a status quo attempting to defend against public consciousness-expansion; as well as the nature of 'spirituality' and what it means to be authentic, peaceful and as wise as a talking monkey can be! Here cometh shenanigans . . .

Episode 3: Why We Want Free Speech
In this episode we look at what 'free speech' is and why it is so important. The freedom to say what one wishes (so long as it doesn't violate the non-aggression principle) is the most fundamental of human rights, because it is the mechanism by which all rights are decided. This most precious power is not only enjoyable and useful for collective problem-solving, but even necessary for the survival of civilisation and the sacred homecoming of human enlightenment. Censorship of 'bad ideas' is itself perhaps the worst idea of all; whereas the trust that truth percolates to the top if we allow an open conversation? That's genius.

Episode 2: Being Yourself
In this episode I talk about why 'being yourself' is a really good idea! More than a cliché, this is timeless wisdom that will elevate one's existence if taken sillily (or seriously). I discuss the various levels and meanings of 'being yourself' and how I think we can live more joyfully and authentically, connecting with ourselves and others by dropping the masks and sharing our true self (or selves) with the world.

Episode 1: Starting Something New
One small step for me, a giant leap for hyperbole! This is my first ever podcast episode and I talk about my reasons for starting this project - and why YOU too could (maybe even should) lean into that glowing golden dream floating about elusively in the back of your mind - or if you don't have a dream, then just to take some humble step toward a life you would prefer to live. I discuss some reasons why we should even bother with starting new things and also do my best to show why we shouldn't believe in the various reasons our minds find to hold us back.
