In this episode of Rebel Spirit Radio, I'm joined by Peter Ralston, a founder of the Consciousness Movement and author of several influential books, including The Book of Not Knowing and The Art of Mastery. We discuss his latest book, Ending Unnecessary Suffering, and delve into his background, including his experiences in the personal growth movement and martial arts. The conversation covers Ralston's unique insights on human suffering, the nature of concepts and mental activities, and the importance of living authentically. We also touch on the challenges of taking responsibility for one's own suffering and the potential for personal growth through self-examination and mindfulness.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
