Philosophy of Everything

Fate or Free Will? In this episode, I explore what “fate” really means, what we think we’re trying to be free from, and who it is that would even potentially be “free.” I’ll walk you some basic classifications of thought on the questions and ultimately how the questions themselves are not entirely applicable. I also include ideas on layers to our reality and more. By shifting how we frame the question, we discover that true free wi...

Wisdom is not systematic. Real wisdom requires paradoxical thinking, presence, a shift from linear logic to spherical understanding, and for the highest most abstract-systems, self-realization. 

In this episode, I share my thoughts on what makes wisdom different from knowledge, why it’s inherently paradoxical, and how wholeness offers coherence. We look at the paradox at the heart of reality itself: that the observer is always part ...

Fear is profitable, and it’s the weapon of choice. When we’re stuck in fear, we’re stuck in the part of the brain incapable of moral reasoning, clarity, curiosity, or real problem solving. Instead, we default to survival: black-and-white thinking, tribalism, and threat response.That’s exactly where the system wants us, be it corporations, political parties, media machines, or even foreign actors.The only way out? A personal philoso...

For the moments when you’re angry at God, doubting God, or wondering if God exists at all. When the world feels empty and you're asking, Where is God in all this?God is not a person out there to be found. God is the will to be, the loving presence, the quiet wisdom, the compassion that holds everything and nothing, always and forever.So are you looking in the wrong direction? You don’t find God. You become the place through whi...

Is there just one single self… or many? Well, wisdom is a paradox, so, yes, and no. There is a single Self, but it contains multitudes. We each have parts: sub-personalities, inner parts, inner archetypes, selves that show up in different roles and times. Our many parts come together to round us out into wholeness. It's the paradox of all the parts together that create coherence. Our parts aren't the problem, our rejection,...

The origins of the world’s religions and myths are deeply rooted in the cosmos, in the language of astrology and in a language deeply buried. The birth of Christ reflects the rising of the Sun after its stillness at the Winter Solstice. From there, we begin the 12 Days of Christmas, mirroring the 12-spoked wheel of the zodiac (the wheel of life), the 12 archetypes through which reality unfolds in time.Understanding the deeper meani...

What’s the difference between soul, psyche, ego, spirit, mind, and heart? These words get thrown around, but they point to distinct (and sometimes overlapping) layers of being. In this episode, I offer an intro to how we might begin to make sense of them. Soul is the bridge between spirit and matter, between the infinite and the embodied. It resonates through psyche, experienced as emotion, image, sensation. Ego is our organizing p...

What do numbers have to do with consciousness? In this episode, I walk through the first five numbers (0 through 4), not as quantities, but as archetypal dimensions of conscious awareness itself.

Zero is the void, the cosmic womb, pure potential.

One is the "I am," the spark of self-aware being.

Two gives rise to duality; it's the subject and object, self and other.

Three opens up depth and relation: space, synthesis, mov...

Intro Episode - For there to be a coherence to the whole, to engage with everything, requires all modes of knowing, a synthesis beyond materialism or idealism. You cannot understand the universe, the world, or yourself from only one perspective, but need all parts. Our society has overvalued an outer knowing, which relies on public consensus to fill the void of the inner unknowing and ridiculed what should be the highest form of kn...

Welcome! Philosophy of Everything is podcast about the coherence of the whole: a synthesis of the parts within and without. The zodiac, the universe's clock and source of the mind's myths and world's religions, is the seed pattern of temporal subjective awareness, helping us explore the complex, living systems of the universe, from psyche to culture to consciousness to the nature of reality. This is about the wonder, wi...
