Description

Season 2 Episode 29


Welcome back neighbors, its been a minute and as usual life has been serving me up insights that sometimes blossom from my own misery and suffering but c'est la vie. At least the lessons give the suffering value and then I can bring it back to you. Today a I attempt to get philosophical about the true nature of happiness and the resistance we bring to ourselves that makes joy feel impossible in a reality where joy is almost always possible. We finish off with a short little known lecture from the great Alan Watts about the unmatched ancient wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, from which I have pulled verses to support my ideas through the first half of the show.


Thank you for joining me again on the 69th episode of this show, and for just listening to at all really. I am eternally grateful that there are people out here that want to hear a single word I have to say, hopefully I can add value to your day in some small way.


Love you all


Kalen
