The Fundamental Shift Podcast 2005 to 2007
- A Bit About RelationshipsThis talk is about being in relationships with others. It describes mistakes we make that end up leaving us hurt and confused.
- Big Things From Little Changes or How to Have a True "Identity Shift"Why is it so hard to make big changes in our lives? We all seem to want things to be different than they are. We'd like to lose weight, make more money, be more organized, eat better.
- Do You Have A PracticeThis talk is meant to suggest the importance of a regular meditation practice.
- A Rainy Day in PhiladelphiaSomething a little different today. No talking. Just watching. What do the faces say to you? Where do our minds go as we walk through this life?
- Looking Through Other Peoples EyesWhat is the difference between a healthy perspective shift, and losing oneself in another through co-dependent behavior? The difference is when we know who we are.
- Introduction to States and StagesThis talk is an introduction to states and stages of consciousness.
- Learning to be DetachedI was recently having a discussion with a good friend of mine. He mentioned that people who have had trauma and have learned to detach to protect themselves would make great Buddhists.
- Do We Change The World Or Accept ItIntegral theory and spiral dynamics talk about the difference between states and stages.
- Fearlessly Feeling FearThe worst thing I see in people, and myself, is when we resist what is. When I am resisting life, I am deeply unhappy. When I accept what is, I can face anything. I can fearlessly feel fear.
- From Clutter to ClarityExternal clutter is linked to your internal state of mind. Ownership of things is part of what the self is trying to accomplish. It feels bigger and more important when it has more.
- Nested DualityWhat is nested duality? This talk begins to discuss the play of opposites. I talk about the importance of relating in new ways to good and bad.
- Mastering PerspectivesThis talk is about mastering perspectives. It assumes that someone capable of seeing more perspectives is better informed, and more able to act appropriately, happily, and well.
- The Problem With Self ProtectionOur self is more than partially defined by the assumptions and beliefs we hold about the world. Our emotions arise as that self rubs up against its edges.
- Introduction to TransparencyWhen something is transparent it is able to be seen through. In this talk I make an effort to show the link between transparency and awareness, making the assumption that awareness is healthy.
- We May Need To Kill FaithHow can we make faith make sense? So many of us are lost in rational minds. Rational minds that are right in the external sense of "right", but they lack the inner connection to being.
- Dive In or Drop ItThis talk is inspired by the question: In meditation, do we dive into frustration when it arises or do we drop it? I use this question to do an overview of meditation, and then answer at the end.
- Learn To SurrenderSurrender means to give oneself over to something. The type of surrender I'm discussing in this talk is not a sign of weakness, in fact, it might be the greatest sign of strength.
- Goals That Make Us HappyThis talk tries to explain the motion of desire, and our two choices. One choice is to satisfy the desire, and again science is showing us more and more that that doesn't work in a lasting fashion.
- Realizing We Have EnoughIt makes sense that people who don't have much feel a sense of lack. It doesn't make as much sense that people who have tons of stuff, lots of money and means, also feel lack.
- Informed MoralityThis talk is about how non-dual experience can inform our morality. It was inspired by a magazine article that painted non-duality as morally irresponsible. Non-duality is not irresponsible.
- Means to an EndIn this podcast we have a fist fight at a gun show. Two men, both deeply interested in safety, take very different stances on how to achieve that goal.
- Connecting to the VineIn this talk I also discuss Jesus and the idea that he was the expression of being connected to the vine.
- Shining Light on the ShadowPart of evolving as a human being, and part of the teaching that I'm trying to promote, is about bringing awareness to all the aspects of our lives.
- Turning Subject Into ObjectTurning subject into object is both a concept and a practice. In this talk I discuss the difference between inner and outer experience and how that relates to subjective and objective experience.
- A New Kind of JudgementThere are two types of judgement or choice, and it is a mistake to make either of them bad. In this talk I will describe the two kinds of choice, introducing a new kind of judgement.
- Honoring ImbalanceIn this show I discuss honoring imbalance. Many people (including myself) critique the world and describe the need for "balance" (listen to my last show, I use that very term).
- Getting to the BeautyThis talk is really an exercise looking at the split between internal/external, and thinking/experiencing.
- This Path is Not EasyEveryone listening to a podcast like this is trying to better themselves. I want to commend all of you for trying to do that. This work is difficult, and not enough teachers say that's the case.
- The Pleasure Pain TreadmillBasic ideas: - Seeing that good and bad, or pleasure and pain are in all things. - We can use pain to promote change. - Ultimately, we can get off the treadmill of pain and pleasure.
- Finding the SimilarityIt would help us greatly if we decided to look at others for our similarities instead of for our differences.
- The Next Evolution of ManToday I want to discuss evolution. There are many ways to think about evolving: - Individual evolution, societal evolution, human evolution - Evolutions like Homo Erectus to Homo Sapien, etc.
- Bring It Back To The BreathIn this show I promise not to be too deep. Today I spend a few moments fostering presence with you.
- Are We Stuck In TimeIn this talk I describe why we seem to be stuck in time, and what an enlightened mind might look like.
- Making Changes: Intention, Hypnosis, NLP, Goal SettingToday's show will be a brief overview of the power of Intention Setting, Hypnosis, Neural Linguistic Programming, Hemi Sync, Goal Setting and Positive Thinking.
- Why We Can't Hold On To StillnessIn this talk I want to discuss what might be our biggest challenge. To find a state of stillness, and remain productive in the world. How do we accomplish, while remaining present.
- Dealing with Death: Ours and OthersFear of death and the unknown is enormous. But death makes everything matter. Living forever would take value away from lots of things.
- Ending Addiction For GoodWe're going to discuss what addiction is, and then talk about how we can come to terms with it and what can we do to stop it. To do this, I'll talk about addiction, in broad terms.
- Can We Make It All SacredIf we as a people could see the importance in loosening our attachment to sacred things, or rather, notice that everything is sacred, we could begin to end conflict.
- The Pressure We CreateSo what pressure are you creating? This talk points out that we can spend time working on, or watching, what pressures we create for ourselves.
- What Does Paradox Have To Do With It?Question I'd really like answered for a future talk: What, if anything, would be the best thing humans could do to make the world a better place?
- Doing It In The NowWhen we come to the Now in this moment (whenever that is), we realize that this moment is always here. So that is all we have to do.
- Expectation vs. ExperienceImportant thought: The gap between our experience and our expectation is our unhappiness. Experience is what's happening to us. Expectation is what we'd like to happen to us.
- You Can't Kill GodIf we can learn to identify with god-consciousness, we will see that we are a part of the whole. That realization allows us to not fear things. We are temporary, but we are part of the infinite.
- What Really Makes You HappyHappiness comes from being. All the things we enjoy (dancing, drinking, drugging, driving cars, watching sports, etc.), the parts of those things that bring joy are the "being" parts.
- How Committed Are You?Making any kind of change is very difficult when we aren't truly committed to it. So what is commitment and how do we find it?
- The Different Meanings of To BeI want to clarify what I mean by "to be" because it is actually more than one thing.
- Turning Anger into CompassionAnger has its place. It is there to move us. It tells us things aren't right. But we don't want to get lost in anger. We need to be conscious of it.
- Language is a LieI discuss the need to talk. The need to fill space with commentary. Truth comes from the act of listening, not speaking. I also mentioned oneness and unity consciousness.
- You Don't Have to Fix ItThe main point of this talk is that once you find yourself with strong opinions, use that as an anchor to wake up.
- How to Stop WorryingAll worry is the same thing and we need to learn what it really is: An irrational habit of imagining a future that often doesn't come. We ruin this moment when we worry.
- From Form to FeelingWhat is the definition of form? I'm not sure I've seen as many different definitions for a word before.
- The Paradox of ChangeA talk about impermanence. Mentioned that pain comes when we try to hold on to things that can't be held onto: relationships, jobs, hopes.
- Guided Meditation: Sort OfMeditation is the realization of this moment. The "practice of meditation" is the sitting down to work on this before it becomes fully natural to live that way.
- The Gift of TraumaTrauma is horrible, and we shouldn't forget that. We all have trauma to one degree or another. We all have "our stuff." Trauma has the potential to widen and deepen our experience of pain.
- The Human Condition: An OverviewWhat is the human condition? Humanity seems quite insane. What is the root of that insanity? Our core problem is the fact that we feel separate. We are ego, but we are not only ego.
- The World Is Your BodyThis is an advanced talk. Many people may find this content weird, but I'm serious when I say that the world is your body. We're trying to learn to look at the world differently.
- Nationalism and Levels of IdentificationConsciousness expands from being an infant through different identifications with social groups. The highest level on average is the national level.
- The Beauty of an ItchIn this talk we widened the definition of an itch to include not only physical itches, but also emotional and mental bothers as well. How can an itch be beautiful?
- Using AnchorsWhat are anchors? The dictionary defines an anchor as something that is the source of security or stability.
- To Think or Not to ThinkWe don't want to avoid things through meditation. The act of dropping thought is used to learn about thinking, and to show that thinking isn't all there is. It is not used to abandon thought entirely.
- Stillness in MotionHow can we "achieve" when stillness seems to oppose goals, the future, etc.? Mentioned that many people were interested in this talk.
- Mindfulness Awareness DisconnectBeginning to define awareness, mindfulness and disconnected states of being.
- Busy Mind DefinedWho do we really want to be? Would we rather free our minds and grow, learn, and express? Or do we want to let our minds run on and on endlessly?
- Be Where You AreA discussion that begins to talk about ways and times to bring presence into the world. If you practice meditation, these methods will be a good extension of that practice.
- Good vs. EvilA discussion about duality, morality, and the motion of pleasure and pain. Story of farmer and his horses shows the relativistic qualities of good and bad.
- The Ending of ProblemsOur problems dissolve when we bring our attention and presence to them. All problems are based in this one fact: We have become dissatisfied with our situation.
- Meditation IntroductionHow to meditate: Bring your attention back to your breath. Repeat as necessary. Discussed exercise from Eckhart Tolle to show the energy/aliveness underneath experience.
- Inner BecomingDiscussion on inner becoming, judgment, time and self. Mentioned J. Krishnamurti and Eckhart Tolle. Talked about the illusion of being only in time and discussed that pure experience is escaping time.
