Podcast 06: Self-Destructing Ideology
Special in celebration of the Day of the Dead: In this episode, I temper my enthusiasm for questions with some much-needed seriousness about how asking questions of yourself and the world constantly leads to a lot of turmoil and personal heart-ache.
So then, why do we keep going on? That’s the question of the day which I am thrashing myself with lately to no end…

you already found the truth or your approach to truth seemed good? All it takes is for one concept to snowball into mutants which occupies the brain perhaps?
I have had the same problem recently. In fact I have not been able to visit this site because I am suffering from horrible, horrible anxiety. Anxiety like I have never had. Let me say I always had sympathy for those who suffer from mental depression I know truly have emptahy for those who suffer from anxiety, panic, mental issues. It sucks because I thought I found my peace to celebrating ordinary life and the mystery of life. Robert Anton Wilson is dying I am sad about that, but actually reading him recently I was provoked with anxiety and reading the website the Shaman’s cave. I am actually anxious over the idea everything is an illusion. Kind of odd how the mind works!

your truth is your truth. the questions will never go away. its kinda like reading a book for the second time, you see/feel/understand more things…Your mind will do some settling. Change is inevitable, painful, and beautiful. Just looking around and realizing that I am alive and in that same vein knowing that I am going to die… Wow… Its an awesome thing/feeling/whatever… Afterall of the conversations and experiences we have gone through….we are free to choose life… continue….
pleasant listening

I took this as an affirmation of two things: commencement and adaptability. Personally, they go hand-in-hand in what you were conveying. I’ve learned that to deny either is to delay a necessary movement in one’s life. But somewhere in the last seven months I had forgotten that; I was too bogged down with tragedy after tragedy to realize it. I suppose what I’m trying to say is that letting things pass for new things to dawn, and allowing yourself to fit into those alterations is the only way to see the bigger picture, or at least catch a glimpse of it. Somewhere down the line in the future, it counts.
But that just what it meant to me, at least.
