Episode Notes
An informal chat with the boys on some recent experiences during our re-engagement with bio-energetic work.
An informal episode, where we talk on our own challenges, and changes in view.
I think with some useful information in there for people who are also going through these processes. I give a channel update and an update on an original falcon project I've been involved in, as well as my thoughts on seeing an expert use these techniques and what I believe the implications are.
Always remember however - "it's just words...it's just sounds".

Episode Notes
This week we a casual discussion building on "onethingness" and "thinking/thoughting"...
TALKING VS DOING. We all fall victim to not totally getting this - particularly these days when the world supercharges and sometimes even greatly rewards thinking and talking - in a word - passivity. Some feel the nastier or edgier their words are, that this "revolutionary act" will magically remove them from being passive.
Some think passivity can be attenuated by simply making positive statements or aphorisms about triumph or victory, or about the state of affairs that is clearly to "their advantage now" - as if reality will conform to their childish emotional needs.
Some feel that passively posting about active things can overcome the need to do anything, and that "hey, as long as someone else does it".
One of the main weaknesses of this species is that we are prone to rich fantasy lives in which we convince ourselves that something is "happening" and that passivity is some form of do-ing, theorising is some form of understanding. And worst of all, that all this has a strong causal relationship with a chance outcome.
In the Bio-individual method, there is only one valid outlook.
"Ok, who cares? So what are you doing about it?
The question we all need to ask - how willing are we to live a vital but disciplined life of action, do-ing. Putting down the phone, the books, dropping the pointless arguments or the tv controller and do-ing?
This is harder than it looks.....which is why barely anyone does it.

Physiology, thoughting, thinking....
This week we take a look at thinking vs thoughting from a bio-individual perspective, the eternal battle against reactive thoughting, and re-wiring our thoughting to suit our goals. And how this relates to the physiology.

Please like, subscribe, comment. We like comments. Feedback - whatever you like.
This week we discuss the disturbing trends towards obsessions with so-called “onethingness”. We’ve all heard it. “This one simple trick”, “all you need to know is this”, “miracle supplement”, “this supplement changes muh life” “the right diet” “a new religion” “politics to fix it all” - we hear this line of thinking constantly, as if it’s almost a default state for the humanity of the day etc. But is this simply a symptom of what ails society at large?
And how does vitality fit into this?
Chapters or segments are below, basically we riff on the topics:

This week Kevin tell us about some breakthroughs in understanding he's been having. How movement, action, consciousness, and language use define us as lumbering dumb-dumbs or conscious beings with smart bodies. And why the feelz somatic types have got it wrong, or incomplete.

Let us know what you think.

Episode Notes
Join us on a “breathing what it is” episode. As some may know I run a business and plan an releasing a course soon, we go into this a little high level. How it relates to body work, some differences with mainstream work, resonant breathing and many other complex topics.
It’s not as straightforward as what they’re telling you.
All looks at in terms of controlling physiology, and the work itself.
What conscious action means, what conscious control is.

Episode Notes
Join us in part 2 of our series on Chris Hyatt. This week we focus more on the herd vs the marginal. How the herd can impact the marginal. How the marginal can benefit and extract himself, and live a well-rounded life on terms that he has defined as important.
We take a look at some themes like the glorification of so-called normality, how we hold ourselves back, and how Hyatt’s work and outlook relates to all of this. How this connects to the bio-individual and “undoing”.
There is of course, for anyone who is undone and has a brain, clearly no normal people on this rather bizarre ‘monkey-infested mudball floating through space’. We will do several episodes on this interview, in a more informal way, listening to segments of this interview and discussing how these insights are relevant to our own work and experiences over the last couple of decades. We take an interview as the basis for our discussions.
This interview, and all Dr. Hyatts work is available at www.originalfalcon.com - we would appreciate if you were to support them and Dr. Hyatt's legacy by supporting them.
Chapters or segments are below, basically we riff on the topics:
00:01 Introduction Clip 00:16 Original Falcon Website Details - Please visit to purchase material 00:25 Talking nonsense anbout social media 12:13 Actual start of podcast - Hyatt clip 1 01:02:39 Hyatt clip 2 01:30:15 Hyatt clip 3 02:01:10 Finish, end credits, end song

Episode Notes
Join us in part 1 of our series on Chris Hyatt (aka Alan Miller). Perhaps the progenitor of the term "Bio-Individual", Kevin and Alex talk through about the ideas of a true individual who shaped their views and practices in very significant ways.
We will do several episodes on this source interview, in a more informal way, listening to segments of this interview and discussing how these insights are relevant to our own work and experiences over the last couple of decades.
We take an interview as the basis for our discussions.
This interview, and all Dr. Hyatts work is available at www.originalfalcon.com -
we would appreciate if you were to support them and Dr. Hyatt's legacy by supporting them.

Episode Notes
(Video version with introduction and visuals available on youtube (@Bioindiv)
In this newest episode of “Bio-Individual” podcast, we take a look at our experiences with non rational language, koans and modern types of koan practice to measure subjective reactions - as a method to analyse personal character. Are they similar? We take a look at all the questions and more, and how it ties in with conscious self-directed brain change.

Episode Notes
In this newest episode of “Bio-Individual” podcast, we take a look at the split between the practice and the tradition. Is there even such a split? When should you consider a tradition and when can you pick and choose? If mindfulness an inherent part of Eastern practice or can it be separated out for someone not of that orientation?
We take a look at all the questions and more, and state our own case for what’s to come.

Episode Notes
Notes go
In this newest episode of “Bio-Individual” podcast, we take a look at the implications on the so-called split brain hypothesis”, particularly that of Iain MacGilchrist in his famous book "Master and his Emissary". Split brain knowledge and its impacts on consciousness, physiological work, and how this plays into what we’re seeking to achieve as practitioners of “the work”. We discuss how wordless I the end, can’t help to be missing a vast energetic reservoir that they ignore with the characteristic arrogance of left hemisphere dominant consciousness.
We argue for less theories, more work, more experience, and less talking for self-transcendence. A new prism in which to understand the philosophers of the right brain and cognitive balance - Heidegger, Nietzsche, Heraclitus the Buddha and many others. We suggest this is the the best and least confusing frame in which to understand these men.
Drastic implications of something that no one whatsoever talks about.

Episode Notes
pod 4 part 2 of the new “Bio-Individual” podcast, we’re taking a look at Wilhelm Reich and Reichian therapy from a perspective of individuals who have used it for many years. We talk about some weirder experiences, such as the fabled “brain orgasm”, who these experiences create permanent “brain change”. How character fits into Reich’s theories, and we speculate on the meaning of it all. How it all fits in.
We're going to explore the basics of tension and release, character in a Reichian sense, and if this form of therapy can be of use to individuals.
We all have different strengths and weaknesses, which is why it's so important to find a practitioner that is tailored to your individual needs. In this video, I'll discuss the Bio-Individual: The Badly Wired Human Brain & Psycho-Physiological Practice, and how it can help you Better Understand Yourself & Improve Your Practice.
