If we take a look at the world through the lens of the mundane media, and political propaganda it appears that there is more darkness than light in the world…that there is more chaos, conflict and ill will than there is balance, peace and optimism. But what if a large amount of the mayhem is being caused by only a small percentage of dark disruptors who are here to profit from the pain? This apparent imbalance is by design. Their numbers may be small but their influence is broad, and we must resist falling into cloudiness, confusion and anxiety and instead maintain our connection to our own power, and our own internal guidance system.
In this episode Jost and Leon take a tour down the rocky road of religion and atheism, discuss the true meaning of God, dogma and doctrine, and how our perception of good and evil comes down to our soul individuality and our varying degrees of difference. Jost gets into modern science’s discovery of prayer’s impact on heart and brain function, and how this is a result of not praying to an external source but going within. He also talks about the intelligence of the 5 Organs (Heart, Kidneys, Spleen, Liver, Lungs) and how nourishing them in concert is the key to resisting building health, resisting brainwashing, creating light and forging the path forward. Leon talks about the origins of religious iconography, the architecture of dystopian consumerism (which is a lot more entertaining than it sounds), his strategy for getting out of IKEA alive, and how to get out of a mall, and out of life, without having accumulated too much unnecessary crap.
Jost and Leon also reflect on kangaroo Tai Chi, problem-solving parrots, Vikings, constellations, financial crises, and the the struggle of living for your dreams and values instead of pursuing safety, security and predictability.
The takeaway tip, look to the brightness of the stars within you, and illuminate your own path forward instead of being trapped in other people’s dark version of reality. Light up the darkness.
