You’re sitting in a classroom looking at a chalkboard. On the board are pictures of simple tools used everyday in life. Screwdriver, hammer, vice, pliars, etc. You’re asked to name each tool and its intended use. Simple enough.

Now after seeing several simple tools you’re shown a picture of the human body. You’re asked to name the tool you see and state it’s intended use. How much thought do you give it before answering? Is the human body a tool? If so, what is it’s intended use?

In this episode I’ll discuss this most intriguing question: Is the human body a tool?

Definition:
tool – anything used as a means of accomplishing a task or purpose.

Question:
If the human body is a tool used as a means of accomplishing a task or purpose, what is that task or purpose?

Definition:
technology – a scientific or industrial process, invention, method, or the like. The sum of the ways in which social groups provide themselves with the material object of their civilization.

Question:
Am I the sum of the ways in which God provides itself with the material object its experience?

In this 102nd episode about Spirituality & Money I spend time with author, educator, and philosopher Ahyh. You can find him and his latest book at The Future Testament

Spirituality & Money interview content:

How are they connected?

Is there a difference between spirituality & money?

The 4 main areas of life: Money / Pleasure / Service / God

When do you think people will start waking up?

Where will people turn when times get hard?

Who will be the new sage(s) of the age?

Quote from The Future Testament.net:
“It boils down to this:  Our ideas are too small.  In the 21st century, it is time to have our religious ideas take a quantum leap into the present, just like our understandings of biology, chemistry and physics have grown so astronomically in the last few years.”

097 DSR – Hourly Wage vs Your Value

March 29, 2013 — Leave a comment

The Art of Exceptional Living

PODCAST AUDIO – click to listen

We recently got an email from a listener named Rebecca in Germany and she writes:

“Hi Greg,
I am 38 yrs. old, from Germany and have started listening to money advice since last autumn, starting with Dave Ramsey and then also including you and Money Girl and some others. Due to this advice I am working on getting debt free by the end of 2013, which is pretty much likely to happen if i continue like I do currently. 

My debt was in student loans and a bank credit. I am paying the minimum payments now since many years and since I had health problems in the past that was ok. But now I am determined to get out of debt asap. In July I will have paid off the bank credit and the student loan will follow.”

In this 97th episode of Debt Shepherd Radio, I talk about the difference between what you’re paid per hour and your true worth. If you’re determined to pay off your debt, as Rebecca is, here’s a few questions to keep in mind as you push toward your goal:

Your Hourly Wage – What is it?
Your Value – What is it?

What’s the difference between the two?
Why care about the difference?

096 DSR – Float Tank Experience: Erin Norin Interview

March 24, 2013 — 5 Comments

PODCAST AUDIO – click to listen

Imagine being in a bathtub full of body temperature water and epsom salt. There’s so much salt you float like a cork on top of the water. You’re weightless, suspended, gravity does not have its way with you.

What if you were floating on top of the water and you were in total darkness with no sound? Now we’re talking mind separated from the body. Meditation on steroids.

That’s what we talk about with Erin Norin in this interview. She recently experienced a float tank (sensory deprivation tank) and is going to tell us what it was like for her. I’ll also share my recent float tank experience in Atlanta, GA.

095 DSR – How To Save Money

Is your bank account flat? Having trouble putting money into your savings account? Living paycheck to paycheck? There’s hope.

You have to learn to live on less than you make. It’s that simple. Decrease your living expenses and increase your savings. Living expenses include entertainment, cell phones, cable TV, $5 coffee every day, etc.

Let go of something small to get started. Put the money you would have spent on that item into savings. Watch it grow.

I save 10% of my net income every two weeks. Anything left in checking before payday is deposited goes into savings also. It can be done.

What if you never had to work for money?  Imagine a life where all your needs are met.  You have all the money you’ll ever need to do whatever you choose.

Get lack of money off your excuse list.  The best thing you could ever do is become extremely wealthy. You’d quickly realize money isn’t your problem.

088 DSR – The Biggest Excuse

February 21, 2013 — Leave a comment

no-excuses

PODCAST AUDIO – click to listen

You just think lack of money is the reason you aren’t happy. The best thing that could ever happen to all of us is to win a gigantic lottery jackpot. Then we’d be forced to realize money doesn’t buy us happiness.

That excuse out of the way, we’re faced with the realization there are no excuses for not BE’ing and doing what we’re here to BE and do.

Stop using lack of money as an excuse to sit on your duff and watch the world go by. Get up, DO for starters, and BE as a result.
