Journey ( a definition): the act of travelling from one place to another. Today we start a new series. Lindy and I begin a six week process of a journey of self-mastery.

Hello everyone. As an ending to our bible series, Lindy and I briefly discuss the last book of the bible...the book of Revelations. Its a book that's confounded many and this is partly due to its hugely symbolic language and imagery. Yet, we want to talk about this book because of it's symbols. Following on from our divination discussion, Lindy and…

Covenant ( a definition ): a promise or contract. Hi everyone! Lindy and I continue our bible series. We talk about what the word 'covenant' means and, in particular, the covenant of marriage.

Divination (a definition): using supernatural ways to get knowledge of the future or the unknown. Hello everyone! Today we're talking about divination.

Divination is link…

Grace ( a definition ): The unmerited favor of God. Hello, hello. Today, Lindy and I discuss grace.

The gospel (A definition): the teaching or revelation of Christ. Hello everyone. Today, Lindy and I take on the hefty topic of The Gospel.

And more importantly, h…

Hi guys! We're talking about the Deep and the Shallow in life...as if we don't already do this weekly. But Lindy and I end up asking ourselves what the true essence of life is. What makes life meaningful? We settle on the idea that having true interactions with others is what life is about. The world- especially the capitalist world- seems to revol…

Hi all :-) Today Lindy and I are thinking about the idea that high pressure or tension is needed in order for something to be created. This goes back to the Big-Bang and creation stories in Genesis and other writings. A high-pressure environment preceded the Big-Bang. The pressure of the elements swirled and in their motion created stars, planets, …

Hi everyone :-) In this one, Lindy and I remind ourselves of the importance of creation myths, as they give us a picture of how we can create our lives.

Timing ( a definition): a particular point or period of time when something happens. Lindy and I discuss how time is such an important aspect of creation.

Hello everyone! We're talking perspective again and today I'm asking Lindy: Is it necessary to see all perspectives?

On the macro, we can talk about how we can imp…

Today we're dipping our toes into the quantam field... Lindy and I talk about how our perception of the world is something that we create. When we dream, our mind plays out what is in our subconscious and we perceive this as a dream. Well, what if we're still just perceiving what is in our subconscious even in our waking life? Is life a waking drea…

In today's episode Lindy and I talk about physical sight. We can only see 0.035 % of all the light that exists.

We talk about the subjective differences there is in sight, including a condition that allows for increased colour vision called tetrach…

Perception (a definition): the way that you think about something or the impression you have of it. In today’s episode we talk about what perception means. I define perception as a way of seeing.

eWe have stories about everything – stories are our understanding of how things are. We go through life with stories or statements of beliefs e.g. I am not a tidy person.

These two definitions suggest that we h…

In this episode me and Lindy talk about going with the flow. We discuss the analogy of floating in the middle of the ocean, face up and just letting the waves carry you to shore. It’s so tempting to look back and around to see the shore. And if we can’t see the shore, it’s tempting to focus on other objects and people and use them as a point of ref…

In this episode Lindy and I talk about living outside the box. We roughly define ‘the box’ as the parameters of who we define ourselves to be. However, does this mean that in order to step outside the box, we have to step outside of ourselves? What would such a life look like? To be honest, this sounds akin to continuously placing yourself in uncom…

In the vein of Legacy and Creation, we explore questions of goodness and greatness: Is it possible to be both Good and Great? Can you create a Great Legacy whilst being a morally Good person?
