Hello my friends! Welcome back to "The Ginger Bread Man"!
This week we will be discussing some fun stuff.
First, I would like to give you 6 Practical things you can do to help improve your Dream Recall and potentiate Lucid Dreaming. I have never been Lucid in a Dream, Yet.. But I have been able to recall far more dreams with some of these easy practices. All of these Ideas I got from Stanford Researcher Stephen Laberge's book on Lucid Dreaming.
Second, I would like to discuss 7OH-Mytragynine. 7OH is an active metabolite of Kratom, Mytragyna Speciosa. This tropical tree from southeast Asia has been gaining popularity in the western world for several years now. I am addicted. Now this isolated compound is hitting the market and I am curioius if there are pros and cons to this situation. I share some newer science on the Pharmacology of Mytragynine and 7OH-Mytragynine.
Thankyou so much for your time and ears, I hope you have a great week. If you would like to talk about anything please email me at [email protected]. Thankyou!

Hello My Friends! Welcome back to "The Ginger Bread Man!" I am so grateful that you are here!
This week we continue on with my obsession with dreams. Lucid dreams in particular. What even is a Lucid Dream? For starts there is a world of difference between 'recalling' a dream and being Aware in one. One is accessible by Memory, the other way by Experience. I cannot overstate enough how fascinating I find this, and one of the most important portals into understanding the Unconscious, or Shadow Self. Towards the end I share some poetry from the Sufi Mystic Rumi.

Hi!! I am so glad to be back, glad to have you hear with me, and glad to be feeling strong and vibrant!
This week we will be discussing Ken Wilber's Spectrum of Consciousness and some of the ideas inside. This was a book published by the Theosophical Publishing House. I found this intriguing, being that this group cocreated by Madame Blavatsky has had alot of wackadoodle Ideas in the past. But this book shocked me with it's Groundedness and many applicable ideas. Most notably a wonderful graph I will attempt to depict in todays discussion on "The Ginger Bread Man!"

Hello my friends! Welcome back to "The Ginger Bread Man"!
This week I would like to discuss the relationship between Attention and Pain. There are other key words that could apply to this subject, such as Obsession and Health Anxiety. For the last year I have had to learn how to live with and accept the uncomfortableness of my vessel. I would like to share with you some of the insight I have had when it comes to redefining where our attention lies and how we perceive our pain. At the end I will share an excerpt from Zen Driving by K.T. Berger. I hope you enjoy!

Hello My Friends! Welcome back to the Show!
This week we will be discussing Muscimol, the alkaloid that holds benefits in the Aminita Muscaria, also known as Fly Agaric. With a nasty reputation that doesn't seem to hold water, I find it suspicious that I didn't know more about it, seeing that it grows here in my home state of Colorado. I break down the pharmacology, cultural use, and basic principles of decarboxylation to make the mushroom safer. I hope you enjoy! I really had fun presenting this one.

Hello My Friends! Welcome Back!
This week I will start out by discussing a new plant of Interest, the very Beautiful Blue Lotus. Afterwards we will dive headfirst into some ideas from the ancient world. Natural Philosophy was Science's Grand Pappy, before we new what to call it. People who thought about the Earth, and natural processes, were such philosophers. Most notably, Socrates, Pythagoras, and Many other had ideas about why things happened in the world. After that we will enjoy together a sample of Lucretius's Text "On The Nature of Things". Translation by Frank O. Copley. I hope you enjoy!

Then I will discuss Ideas. I love Ideas, they are probably my favorite thing. I spend all day long mind blending with other peoples strange ideas, some of which I definitely do not agree with. What is a concept? A Category? What is abstraction? And how do we use assumptions to make and spread Ideas? This and Much, Much more on The Ginger Bread Man!

Hello my Friends! Welcome back to the Show! I am very excited to be back after my small Hiatus. Odin and I have been busy with various rituals from a Wedding, to a Concert, to learning how to evaluate and commit to Self-Care! I would like to share some stories with you and then philosophize about the relatable aspects of finding satisfaction in all of our lives. What is the difference between Pleasure and Satisfaction? If we work harder for something is it more satisfying? Do all good things take time, effort, and Sacrifice? This and much, much more on this episode of "The Ginger Bread Man!"
Halfway through the show I continue where I left off on the last chapter of Aldous Huxley's 'Island.' This book has had a tremendous impact on me, I hope you enjoy my amatuer performance. If you haven't heard last weeks episode, be sure to go back and listen for the beginning of this chapter.

Hello my Friends! Welcome Back to "The Ginger Bread Man!"
This week I want to dig into Science a little bit. I spent alot of time being Staunchly anti-science, regrettably, that I have only recently returned to reading more scientific material. I have been reading a book called "The Tao of Physics" by Fritjof Capra, whom I unfortunately called 'Frank' in the episode because I am dumb. This and Sartre's Existential theories have made me very curious about the interconnections of East and West, Scientific Empericism and Mystic Subjectivism. And the interconnectedness of everything little thing in this whole thing. Man, am I excited.
The last half of the Episode, approximately 15 minutes in, I begin the last Chapter of Aldous Huxley's "Island", without any spoilers. This man has seriously impressed me, and I hope you enjoy my performance of this work that had an immense impact on me.

Hello my Friends! Welcome back to "The Ginger Bread Man!"
This week I will be discussing some older concepts from the show including how we have some degree of control over bodily processes, especially when it comes to slowing ourselves down and speeding ourselves up! This also ties into our interconnectedness with the rest of the world.
Towards the end of the show I share an excerpt from Aldous Huxley's Island, a profound book and concise way to tie up some of these ideas.

Hello my friends!
This week I would like to discuss the concept of time through a Buddhist and existential Lense. This is a deep one guys, but I don't think any of you are averse to the deep end. I will also be further elucidating some terms from Sartre's Existentialism such as Being-In-Itself and Being-For-Itself. I'm on shaky ground here because I barely understand it myself, but I tried! Let's get out of the past, stop worrying about the future, and consider our reactions to the present on this weeks episode of "The Ginger Bread Man!"
I will be forever grateful your to Attention and Ears! I hope you have a great week! You can email me about Anything at [email protected]!

Hello my Friends! Welcome Back, I am really glad to have you here with me, Sincerely!
This week I want to talk more about how we interact with our Psyche, including some of the different facets (faculties?) that have a part to play such as Personality and Unconscious. I happen to be particularly fascinated with Psychedelic compounds and substances that have the ability to change how we perceive reality. However, these are material physical things, is every part of our consciousness and being strictly Physical? Maybe, but theres alot at play when we consider how our judgements and inner decisions pave the way for how we manifest our realities. This and much, much more on "The Ginger Bread Man!"

Hello Friends! Welcome back to my show!
This week I would like to discuss polarity, another aspect of Duality. And what is Duality? The Nature of the Universe, or so it seems. Everything has an Off/On, Up/Down, Hot/Cold, Is/Isn't, and the list goes on Ad infinitum. But when we look really closely at any of these attributes, aren't they all describing the same thing. If something is bigger than something else, its bigger, but if the smaller thing is also bigger than something else; THEN isn't it Also Bigger? Words don't do this situation justice.. What makes something Big and something else Small if it doesn't have anything else to relate too?
I would like to apply this polarity of things in existence to our own inner worlds. We have lights and darks of our personality too, but in perspective to what? Carl Jung coined the term Shadow to speak about these repressed areas of our psyche, and that is exactly what I would like to discuss today! Also with some of my writings, a verse of Chuang Tzu, and a small reading from Richard and Iona Millers wonderful book: The Modern Alchemist- A guide to Personal Transformation.

Hello My Friends!
I very much Appreciate your Patience! Challenging times, But I LOVE talking to you. So thankyou for showing up!
This week I would like to again discuss the values of Introspection, especially when it comes to looking at and analyzing cycles in our lives. Then I would like present a buddhist Idea called Non-Duality, specifically the doorway to Non-Duality.. If you stick to the end of the show I will share with you a selection from a Buddhist Sutra that is concerned with this subtle Idea. Lastly I would to Invite Diogene's Philosophy of Cynicism back on the show as I try to relate it to some of the current Material. This and Much, Much More on "The Ginger Bread Man!" I hope you enjoy!

Hello my Friends! Welcome Back! Happy New Year!
Apologies ahead of time for Poppy-Audio, I am using a cheap cord right now that I don't usually have, and whilst doing the very small amount of Lazily done editing I immediately noticed it! Will be working on improving that..
Anyways! This week I want to discuss Boundaries! What do we need to consider when we may be OverExtending? Why is it important to have self care rituals in place before wanting to help the whole world? Then I want to discuss some hindu ideas around Renunciation and Sacrifice! I have the late, great Ram Dass in my head after reading his wonderful book "Paths to God" and these resonations are coming out in this episode. Then I hope to connect the two subtopics. I hope you find something useful!
I very much appreciate your attention and Ears! Thankyou so much for giving me your time. If you would like to talk about literally anything please email me at [email protected]! Have a wonderful week!
