In this first episode I introduce what I want to do with this podcast and the basic philosophy.  Admittedly the first episode is rough, not polished, but a start.  I talk about what is enlightenment/heaven/nirvana and my unique skills and insights that I bring to those who are interested in pursing a higher quality life experience.  As a rebel I will be challenging conventional ways of thinking and beliefs.  I will be controversial and at time confrontational as I challenge those conventional ways of thinking.  I talk about embracing BOTH Eastern and Western traditions, strategies, and methods and why combining them expedites the awaking process.  I will also be talking about the physiology of spirituality, to demystifying and bring confidence to the process.  I also acknowledge that I am NOT religious but I think/feel that Jesus has way more to offer than the Christians acknowledge, that in fact the Christians discourage people from following Jesus' way.  And lastly, I acknowledge that I/we are our own worst enemy and because of that awakening means we look at ourselves to see why we are not free to fully enjoy and love all that life has to offer.
