Episode 006 - Who We Truly Are
Episode 006: Who We Truly Are There is a wave in spirituality that starts with the words, “I AM,” It uses the power of convincing the observer behind your eyes to something that you desire. While some would call this delusional brain washing or hypnosis, convincing yourself of things that are not true, something magical starts to happen, it works. We have all heard of the placebo effect and how powerful the mind is to heal the body. This is because the ego is convinced that this pill is going to heal me and therefore the ego lets down its guard and allows the observer, aka your soul or god to work their magic. It works because you are giving up control and you are allowing someone or something else to take over. This works in many applications, but it is important to understand how your mind works to understand why this is possible. So who are we? What are we? and how do we connect with ourselves to become a teamed partnership so that we can obtain the powers to live a more powerful and fulfilled life? Let us try and answer one of the biggest questions a human being can ask, what am I?

Episode 002: Belief
What do you believe in? When was the last time you asked yourself that question? The last time I think any of us has had a chance to really ask that question was when we were kids. Even then we never actually asked ourselves what we believed, we just believed. There is an interesting force at work underneath the surface of our ever day reality and that is fueled by our perceptions. We have all heard the expression before but what does it really mean? How do you understand this creed and live by it? These are excellent questions so let’s dive straight in.

Episode 001: The Start of An Adventure
There is something missing in this life. There is a persistent struggle to achieve something larger than ourselves, while being stuck in a system that is so focused on a homogeneous monotony that we eat ourselves into heart diseases or when we reach the end of life, we say it was all for the children. What is life? We are told from a young age, and mind you this is from my generation’s viewpoint, that we must finish school, find a partner, get married, have kids, retire, and die. We are tasked to work for companies we hate, who’s existence is reliant on paying us as little as possible so that they can sell our labour for record profits. We are a cog in a machine that keeps on spinning and turning until we break, and the reaper removes us from the assembly line.

Episode 003: Home
What is a home and what is home? This word is very intriguing and has no real meaning as everyone you ask will say something different but I believe that a home is much more just a 4 walls a roof. I’m an architect and of course I think that way right! Well yes although I design homes for a living and I am very excited with each new project I get I wonder what the deeper meaning is behind the 4 letters. We all know that a home is where the heart is, but what does that even mean? How can a home be both a place and a feeling? Can home be a person? These are the types of a questions that fascinate me during my every day job and I would like to take a dive into what is a home.

Episode 004: Revolution
Do you feel it in the air? A tension growing around the world gripped by a virus that promised to take down everything. A virus that according to a CTV News report is ranked fourth in infectiousness compared to 11 other common major diseases well behind the SARs scare. I remember SARs being talked about quite often on TV same with Ebola, which is slightly less infectious than Covid-19. The main difference between then and now? The world did not shut down, so what happened? Why did the world shut down? Well, the answer is quite simple, fear. There has been an ever-growing presence of fear built up in the modern society I would say since the end of the cold war. With a world armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons and the capacity to extinct all life on this planet governments realized that wars would be different going forward. With mutual assured destruction a modern society had to turn inward for a new monster to campaign against. Media companies been all too willing to do an effective job at this creating a so-called culture war where you can no longer stand to even to tolerate people with different opinions. Was it a great Kabul or master plan? No. It was regular human nature, greed, corruption, and other vices that have followed our species for thousands of years. However, these human flaws have worked their way into the very power structures that govern our lives and we as a society are allowing ourselves to be distracted, commoditized and sold for a profit. Our human life is no longer the virtue of our society the dollar is king in this town and it’s causing the greatest tension that is a story as old as time, a story of revolution, and change. We are standing in a moment of history that will define the society for years to come, a fork in the road for humanity. How much more power do we need to give our governments? How much more data do we need to give technology giants which just end up at the governments? How much is your freedom worth for a little security? These are questions worth asking but it saddens me that even asking such questions right now is considered not politically correct, radical and selfish. The media and collective fear of millions have allowed for a situation to arise that should scare every single one of us and that is the rise of a powerful police state. One ruled under public virtues and morals dictated by the ivory elite in their marble palaces of power and hypocrisy.
