  • Disappointed.

    Tried to share this on X, but you seem to have deleted your account. If RFK’s Fauci book is so full of lies, and his statements about Offit are egregious and insulting (like you said in the most recent episode), why has neither filed a defamation suit against him? It would be easy money because it’s all just made up, right? It might go a long way to shut up crazy RFK, wouldn’t it? I am not knowledgeable enough to know what is true and false about vaccines. But the financial motives and the mecha... more

  • I appreciate this journey sharing podcast.

    There’s a subtle awareness that we all know, and it’s not really something you can put your finger on, show an image to someone or use words to convey but it’s always here nonetheless. If you are interested in being in touch with that awareness this is a good podcast to listen to. ZDogg and his guests try to explain ways to help you expand your awareness.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

See Your Nature, And Be Free (w/Zen monk Kogen Czarnik)
Q: If you could say there's one particular insight that you can communicate in some way, even embodied, that would have the biggest impact on relieving human suffering, what do you think it would be?
Seeing through separation and realizing our connection with life is crucial; the essence of realization is non-separation, which can relieve human suffering.
Beyond Existential Terror (Monday Zen, LIVE)
Q: Why do you laugh when you feel the universe?
It is hilarious because the entirety of existence is seen through a lens of divine comedy, reflecting the absurdity of our often misguided human experience.
Beyond Existential Terror (Monday Zen, LIVE)
Q: How do you not get into existential crisis mode when thinking about all of it?
The existential crisis arises from the mind trying to grasp or label the unknowable essence, and recognizing that everything possesses its own inherent meaning can ease those feelings.
From Taint to Truth: An Alcoholic's Awakening (w/Eshwar Segobind)
Q: Can you speak a little bit about your experience in rehab and the awakening process?
Eshwar describes hitting rock bottom due to alcohol and realizing that he needed help. Through therapy, he discovered how his emotional responses were tied to expectations he placed on others, unveiling truths about himself and leading to a profound understanding of self and letting go.
Force Friday w/Doc Vader
Q: Do you think CNAs get enough respect?
They definitely do not get the love they deserve, as their role is crucial in healthcare, yet often overlooked.
