116: Accelerating and Decelerating the Vehicle

* Hello my Friends! Welcome back to "The Ginger Bread Man!" This week I will be discussing some older concepts from the show including how we have some degree of control over bodily processes, especially when it comes to slowing ourselves down and speeding ourselves up! This also ties into our interconnectedness with the rest of the world. Towards the end of the show I share an excerpt from Aldous Huxley's Island, a profound book and concise way to tie up some of these ideas.  I will be forevor grateful for your attention and ears!

Existential Excursions into the Confusion of Time!

* Hello my friends!  This week I would like to discuss the concept of time through a Buddhist and existential Lense. This is a deep one guys, but I don't think any of you are averse to the deep end. I will also be further elucidating some terms from Sartre's Existentialism such as Being-In-Itself and Being-For-Itself. I'm on shaky ground here because I barely understand it myself, but I tried! Let's get out of the past, stop worrying about the future, and consider our reactions to the present on this weeks episode of "The Ginger Bread Man!" I will be forever grateful your to Attention and Ears! I hope you have a great week!

113: Why I like Bad Trips

* Hello my Friends! Welcome Back, I am really glad to have you here with me, Sincerely! This week I want to talk more about how we interact with our Psyche, including some of the different facets (faculties?) that have a part to play such as Personality and Unconscious. I happen to be particularly fascinated with Psychedelic compounds and substances that have the ability to change how we perceive reality. However, these are material physical things, is every part of our consciousness and being strictly Physical? Maybe, but theres alot at play when we consider how our judgements and inner decisions pave the way for how we manifest our realities. This and much, much more on "The Ginger Bread Man!"

112: What do Poles have to do with It?

* Hello Friends! Welcome back to my show! This week I would like to discuss polarity, another aspect of Duality. And what is Duality? The Nature of the Universe, or so it seems. Everything has an Off/On, Up/Down, Hot/Cold, Is/Isn't, and the list goes on Ad infinitum. But when we look really closely at any of these attributes, aren't they all describing the same thing. If something is bigger than something else, its bigger, but if the smaller thing is also bigger than something else; THEN isn't it Also Bigger? Words don't do this situation justice.. What makes something Big and something else Small if it doesn't have anything else to relate too? I would like to apply this polarity of things in existence to our own inner worlds. We have lights and darks of our personality too, but in perspective to what? Carl Jung coined the term Shadow to speak about these repressed areas of our psyche, and that is exactly what I would like to discuss today! Also with some of my writings, a verse of Chuang Tzu, and a small reading from Richard and Iona Millers wonderful book: The Modern Alchemist- A guide to Personal Transformation. Thankyou so much for giving me your Attention and Ears! I will be forever grateful! Have a wonderful week!

111: Minimizing Non-Duality

* Hello My Friends!  I very much Appreciate your Patience! Challenging times, But I LOVE talking to you. So thankyou for showing up! This week I would like to again discuss the values of Introspection, especially when it comes to looking at and analyzing cycles in our lives. Then I would like present a buddhist Idea called Non-Duality, specifically the doorway to Non-Duality.. If you stick to the end of the show I will share with you a selection from a Buddhist Sutra that is concerned with this subtle Idea. Lastly I would to Invite Diogene's Philosophy of Cynicism back on the show as I try to relate it to some of the current Material. This and Much, Much More on "The Ginger Bread Man!" I hope you enjoy!

110: Connecting Love, Sacrifice, and Boundaries

* Hello my Friends! Welcome Back! Happy New Year! Apologies ahead of time for Poppy-Audio, I am using a cheap cord right now that I don't usually have, and whilst doing the very small amount of Lazily done editing I immediately noticed it! Will be working on improving that.. Anyways! This week I want to discuss Boundaries! What do we need to consider when we may be OverExtending? Why is it important to have self care rituals in place before wanting to help the whole world? Then I want to discuss some hindu ideas around Renunciation and Sacrifice! I have the late, great Ram Dass in my head after reading his wonderful book "Paths to God" and these resonations are coming out in this episode. Then I hope to connect the two subtopics. I hope you find something useful! I very much appreciate your attention and Ears! Thankyou so much for giving me your time.

108: Uncovering the Joy

* Hello my Dear Friends! How are you this fine Day? This week I want to talk about to pet ideas of mine. These are old ideas, but I don't mind recircling around valuable methods of self discovery. Especially in my own work. What is a Figment of our Imagination? Can we Trust the Movies we make in our heads about the future? Then I want to discuss Joy. Not pleasure, not Euphoria. But, what is that feeling of connection that emerges whenever we are able to step outside of self interest? This and much, much more on The Ginger Bread Man! You can email me at thegingerbreadmansdialogues@gmail.com with any concerns, ideas, corrections, or if you would simply like to talk! Have a wonderful week!

107: We are Not Locked in Pain

* Hello My friends! Welcome Back! I am bedridden this week, so sound quality may be a little funky. I want to discuss pain. What is discomfort? How do we allocate our pain, do we judge it? How do we apply our pain to others? I also want to discuss a new friendship in the psychadelic landscape. Let's Ruminate! Near the end I have a short reading from Voltaire's 'Philosophical Dictionary.' Y'all know how much I love a good definition! You can email me at the gingerbreadmansdialogues@gmail.com I will be forever grateful for your attention and ears! I hope you have a wonderful week!

106: Everyone Needs some Peace and Quiet

* Hi Everyone! Welcome Back! I Hope you all had a wonderful holiday, and even if you didn't At Least you are past it! What I would like to speak about today concerns this very topic, often during the holidays we have an influx of planning and socializing. We have our families in town, some of whom we do not get along with. And inevidebly we found ourselves tanked with exhaustion at the end of a long week. How do we take care of ourselves? Why is solitude and Rest important? Why don't we all just work 70 hour work weeks?  How do we adapt between different needs in our lives, from Work You to Home You, and then to ThanksGiving You? This and much, much more on "The Ginger Bread Man!" You can email me at thegingerbreadmansdialogues@gmail.com   I hope you have a wonderful week!

104: The Void of Prescense

* Hello My Friends! This week I am going to discuss the conundrum of Change. If our goal is finding Prescence in the here and now, what is the nature of that Here and Now? If we are used to finding comfort in stability, maybe we will be rudely awakened when we find no firm ground to stand on. I will also be discussing the end of Plato's Republic which concerns his very exciting description of what he believes happens to a soul after death. There are ties to Buddhism and other Religious ideas of Afterlife! I was very intrigued, and I hope that you are too! Thankyou so much allowing me your time, I will be forever grateful.

103: Inseparable from Nature

* Hello All! Welcome back to my little corner of the Universe.. Or is it all of It? Or Both? Hard to say as a human, stumbling around trying to make meaning out off all of these interesting knowledge-bits. What a lovely quest to be on though! Would You like to Join Me? This week I want to return to the topic of "What is Natural?" What is "Nature"? Are WE part of it, or are we the ARTificial? Can we ever reclaim our home within everything else? How different are we from that housefly, or the Deer? I will be using ideas obtained from reading in John Stuart Mill's essay on Nature, and The Three Pillars of Zen by Roshi Philip Kapleau. I will be also using my own thoughts and ruminations. I hope you enjoy.

102: A Fish in Search of Water

* Hello My Friends! This week I would like to discuss some of Plato's ideas. Plato being a philosopher of Greek's Hellenistic Period. Why do we do what we do? What makes something Right and Good? Behind the subjectivity of opinion, is there away to benefit the most? How would you redesign a country to perpetuate the most "Good'? This and much, much more on "The Ginger Bread Man"!

99: Lessons boiled out of Alchemical Love

* Hello My Friends! Welcome Back! This Week we are going to talk about alchemy! External World processes tend to be reflected in our own inner Microcosms. How do we take difficulty and turn it into a labor of Love? How does control affect our own perception of a situation? How does the unconscious and past memories carve out our responses? How do we reach out, to the outside, for help? This and much, much more on "The Ginger Bread Man"! You can email me at thegingerbreadmansdialogues@gmail.com.

98: Refusing Karmic Fruit/Love for It's Own Sake

* Hello My Friends! Welcome back to the show! This week I want to return to the Idea of Karma: Action. The inherent law of Cause and Effect. Things seem to be attached to other things, at least tangentially in the world of Time. However, when we insert ourself arbitrarily into a timeless system, such as Compassion, can we lose our Purpose?  Giving another Love is one of the fundamentally Human Acts. How do we keep giving when it becomes difficult? Are We Giving for the right Reasons?  This and Much, Much more on "The Ginger Bread Man"! You can email me at thegingerbreadmansdialogues@gmail.com.

97: Haplessly Healing in Habittudes

* Hello my friends! Welcome Back! This week I want to return to the ideas of Habits, or as I like to sometimes call them "Habittudes". We all know how hard it can be to structurally change a well established Habit, but we often forget how easy it is to make one! But, its never the end of the road, and nothing is forever a Positive or Negative thing. How do our value judgements of a situation affect how we perceive its affect in the future? And, how does our own interconnectivity affect our own impacts? This and much, much more on "The Ginger Bread Man"!

* Hello my friends! Welcome Back!  We are going to adventure into some dark places today, but that shouldn't be a bad thing. Are you avoiding parts of you? Parts that make you feel uncomfortable? How do you respond to your own Fear? Do you have tactics you use to feel "Better"?  I want to investigate today these facets of our being. There are 4 main "base" emotions that can be blended and intensified into the broad range of human emotionality: these are Happy, Sad, Mad, and Afraid. A structurally functional peice of our emotions, a quarter of the payload, let us get on into it! Thankyou so much for your attention and ears, I will be forever grateful for this opportunity.

93: The Inner-Outer Paradox

* Hello My Friends! Welcome Back! This week I want to focus on Self-Focused Inner Work. Last week I left you all with the considerations of how it feels when you are working with a team where some members may not be as "involved" as you might wish.. How does that make you feel? Does it reek of Fairness, or Unfairness? How would you feel, in your moment of irritation, If I told you the Key to the Issue is focusing on Yourself? Would that piss you off? But I really do think the fix to most of most of our interpersonal issues is intense self work, through scrutiny and compassion.  Thankyou so much, I will be forevor grateful for your Attention and Ears!

90: The Fearsome Continuum of Tedium

* Hello My Friends! Welcome Back! This week I want to discuss another "Spectrum" of Being. This time on one side we have Novelty: all the deliciously new experiences that bring the Spice of Life. On the other we have the numerous Tedious acts that inundate adult life, and we only seem to collect more of them as we continue on burning through the newness. However, is New inseparable from old in the grand scheme of Isness? How can we embrace and cherish our special place in existence? This and much, much more on "The Ginger Bread Man"!

87: Apparent Pareidolia

* Hello My Friends! Do you know what Pareidolia is? It is the knack for the human brain to find patterns, such as faces or figures, in areas where they may not be. This is how we can enjoy abstract animations, and many other strange phenomena such as seeing Jesus in Toast. We are piggy-backing an idea from last week concerning perception. Its hard enough finding our subject  while forgetting we can also be objective! This and much, much more on "The Ginger Bread Man"! Readings from Ramana Maharshi and Chuang Tzu towards the end!
