Who Am I ?

Are you taking too little responsibility for your actions, or perhaps too much? How much are you able to understand or determine the consequences of your decisions? Are you in control of anything? Is free will an illusion? Can you do something to improve your thoughts, feelings and relationships with others? Steve and William discuss what these questions all come down to.

Everyone has the choice of either living isolated from other people and their own feelings on the one hand, or to connect with others and their own emotional core on the other hand. The road towards connectedness involves vulberability and weakness. But it leads to a very rewarding ability that includes deeper understanding of and union with humanity.

What secrets do you have? What facts about you must never become known to others? What happens in our childhood that implants beliefs in us that hide away for the rest of our life? Can we uncover them deliberately? Can we regain the emotional freedom and levity that playing children have? Steven and William discuss theses questions in an attempt to better understand where shame comes from and how to heal from it.

Humans need each other, and so they need to depend on each other. When we make a promise or sign a contract we intensify an understanding that is usually mutually beneficial, but we also agree to retribution in the case of non-fulfillment. Is such a formal arrangement better than the everyday trust we put in someone's word? Or is it a sign of a lack of trust? Steve and William discuss examples such as business deals and marriag...

Psychological torture can be used to break someone's mind and implant a belief in the victim's mentality that will shape their behaviour permanently. Is something similar going on at a societal scale? Are we all susceptible to a slow and subtle mental manipulation through mainstream media and other influences? How can we become aware of such tricks?

Feelings of anxiety often come when some security in our life diminishes. Because we believe that our existence depends on that safety net, we fear that its loss will cause our life to end. Jiddu Krishnamurti has helped many audiences realise the falsehood of such beliefs. In this interview he explains step by step how such thoughts about our existence and its safety are the cause for our anxiety and that the only true security is ...

Everyone overthinks, not only people diagnosed with OCD. We spend the majority of every day ruminating over the same old thoughts: worries about how we are viewed, about our possessions, and about any other thing or idea that makes up our artificial identity. Living in the past is another example of this, for example holding onto regrets or abuses. On the other hand, living in the future is when we imagine a negative scenario that ...

Neither William nor Steven have had first-hand experiences with alien life or technology. But it can be fun to speculate: What would it mean for humanity if an advanced race from a distant galaxy visited our planet? What technologies and spiritual insights would we be able to learn about from them? Would novel sources of virtually free energy unite us or lead to new reaons for war? The list of possible questions goes on a...

Honesty is a necessary ingredient for healing from past traumas, mainly honesty with yourself. If other people become disagreeable because you are learning to understand your self better, do you prefer to fit in and comply with societal norms or are you prepared to sacrifice those things for clarity about who you are and what the actual purpose of your life is? We are all under this spell to a smaller or larger degree. Breaking it ...

We start out our final attempt at this adventure book with the luck of very high values for skill, stamina and luck.

We primarily think of actors as the ones playing a role and pretending to be someone they really are not. But in a sense everyone wears a mask and acts out a charade. This can be done deliberately, but most of the time is quite subconscious and involuntary. What are the purposes of putting on an invisibile mask? What would life be like without them? And how many layers of masks does a person actually wear?
