n this episode, I lie in my hammock near Buntzen Lake, listening to birds as they fly overhead, melting into my hammock and breathing very deeply into my belly. This monologue was an organic flow of existential thoughts and spiritual reflections about life, consciousness, and living a life connected to others. This is not a mental-health-based topic; I don't connect these concepts to scientific studies, nor do I claim they are "absolute" spiritual ideas. I openly ponder ideas and philosophise about what feels relevant to my experience of being human. Just to clarify, I'm fully sober here, I don't use psychedelics or any other substances. My inspiration is drawn from breathwork, nature and various forms of prayer.
Subtopics that arise:
- Celebrating past connections
- Does anything ever really die?
- God and Death
- Nothingness and the Void
- Birth and portals
Song in the intro- "Light of the Mountain" by Brandon Tilt
I acknowledge that I learn, grow and heal on the unceded ancestral lands of the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm , the Katzie, the Stó:lō and the Tseil-Watuth First Nations. These lands were never abandoned nor surrendered by those with the ancestral rights to steward and protect these lands.
I honour and respect the elders, the children, the land stewards, the land protectors, the medicine keepers, and the men and women of all Indigenous nations.
Huy ch q’u (thank you) to those who support the indigenous communities and actively decolonize their minds and spirits.
Aho Mitakuye Oyasin, All my relations.
