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.”

085 DSR – Buying Our Freedom

PODCAST AUDIO : (click to listen)

We spend most of our lives chasing paper to buy our freedom. The system is nothing but debt slavery and manufactured scarcity. This amounts to nothing more than human trafficking and the monetization of human flesh. Thanks to Max Igan for reminding me of that recently. The following is a list of fictions we must become aware are all around:

Fictions:
Money
Corporations
Laws
The Constitution
Birth Certificates
Our Names
The Entire System

There’s good news. If we stop breathing life into these fictions by withdrawing our attention and participation, they will die. Become aware, become awake. Help others around you do the same.

“People think freedom is freedom of choice. Freedom is self responsibility and seeing our validity and the validity in others.” – Max Igan

084 DSR – It’s None of My Business

February 8, 2013 — Leave a comment

Brain Wash

PODCAST AUDIO: (click to listen)

When we hear a news story about a police officer on a killing spree in CA, how do we know it’s true? We really don’t. We assume it’s true because, well, it’s on TV. We assume it’s true because everyone seems to be talking about it.

I’m challenging you to ask yourself why we feel the need to be concerned with an alleged crime in a state we don’t even live in. Unless I live in the community where the alleged killer is loose, it’s none of my business. And if you’re not in the state it’s happening in or a surrounding state it’s none of your business either.

All these news stories do is keep people in fear and spark gun control debate. These stories are being used as political tools of control and manipulation. Stop being misled and emotionally manipulated. Wake up America. Pay attention and I don’t mean to mainstream media. Put down the iphone, read a book, and look people in the eye when you talk to them.

076 DSR – New Year Resolutions & 2013

resolutions

Got your list of stuff you’re finally going to do? Throw it away and focus on just one thing. Stop telling the world what you’re going to do and just do it.

If you insist on making a list and you only accomplish one thing on it, then celebrate that one thing. It’s all about how bad you want to change. You don’t need a guru or a “system.” You are the answer to everything.

It’s called work for a reason. Know what you want and go get it. I recently did a 5 day bowel detox. I’m currently doing a 5 day liver detox. Then I’ll do a 5 day kidney detox. Been putting those last two off for a very long time. I finally decided to just do it.

Nothing is standing in the way of you and what you want except you. Want to know the reason for your unhappiness? Look in the mirror. Want to know the secret to your happiness? Look in the mirror.

065 DSR – Broke But Not Poor

November 25, 2012 — Leave a comment

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

broke
Broke is temporary. Poor is a state of mind and often may be permanent. The difference between the two is huge. I used to say when I met my wife I was broke or “temporarily unfunded” as we now like to joke.

Even saying “I’m broke” is a habit we should work to end. Why? The word broke is the word broken. When you say you’re broke what’s really coming out is, “I’m broken.” Not an affirmation I want to repeat, how about you?

We’ve been led to believe if we don’t have any money, somehow it makes us less whole as human beings. I say we should all know what it means to be broke, but not poor. Just as we should learn to be alone but not lonely. The distinction is massive because we’re talking about state of mind.

Your bank account is not who you are. Your clothes aren’t who you are. Michael Tsarion has this to say about fashion, “The hidden purpose of fashion is to decorate our inauthentic lives.” Are you decorating your life with more clothes, money, etc? Why?

We judge others by the amount of money they do or don’t make and do or don’t leave their heirs upon death. What do you think when you hear, “He died penniless?” We often make a massive assumption the person was reckless or maybe even lazy.

The most important thing we should ask ourselves is, “Who am I without money?” A good place to start learning to ask that question is in the book I’ve recommended below.
