FLOURISH - No Self = No Ego
April 22, 2024 15:00 - 10 minutes - 7.06 MBBuddhist scholars suggest that the "Self" is an illusion and that awakening to the revelation of "No Self," leads to greater happiness and peace-of-mind. Just what are they talking about? The idea of No-Self makes more sense to me if I put the idea in the context of the hemisphere hypothesis, the recognition that the two hemispheres of the human brain provide us with two, radically different ways of relating to life. The right hemisphere gives us direct experience in the moment. The left...
FLOURISH - Psychedelic Mysticism
April 08, 2024 21:00 - 11 minutes - 7.63 MBI’m interested in mystical and psychedelic experiences because they seem to evoke radically altered states of mind that are akin to spiritual awakening. They enable people to feel more at peace with the flow of existence and are often a portal to feelings of bliss. What's not to like about all that? So, mysticism and psychedelics could be seen as forms of mental management that can help us to flourish as we age. In this episode I summarize previous episodes, discuss a couple of my own ex...
FLOURISH - Mysticism: The mystery that there is something rather than nothing.
April 01, 2024 15:00 - 13 minutes - 9.46 MBMystical experiences have a core set of characteristics that seem to promote mental wellbeing and flourishing. People who have mystical experiences, including psychedelic trips, report feeling a profound unity with something vast and deeply meaningful. This unity with “the divine,” (or whatever you want to call it) is accompanied by a diminished focus on ego-centric concerns. The minds of people who have had a mystical experience seems to be altered for the better. What can mysticism teac...
FLOURISH - Transcendent Equanimity
March 15, 2024 20:00 - 12 minutes - 8.48 MBA while back I wrote an article for 3rd Act Magazine that explored how equanimity is a key to flourishing as we age. In this podcast I revisit the article and add some perspective. I suspect that aging will be much easier for me if I adopt an even-minded attitude towards the challenges and opportunities of my aging process. Even better, I am more likely to flourish if I can cultivate what I call "transcendent equanimity," which is a blissful embrace of the wonders of existence. Tran...
FLOURISH - Finding Flow
March 04, 2024 17:00 - 11 minutes - 7.81 MBLearn two suggestions for getting into the flow state. In the previous episode we suggested that the state of flow could be a good measure of qualty-of-life. The more time we spend in the flow, the greater our quality of life. So, how can we find more flow in our lives? Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi, the father of flow, found that the flow state arises when there is a dynamic interplay between challenge and resources (skill). We need to challenge ourselves and we need to develop the skills a...
FLOURISH - Flow as a Measure of Flourishing
March 04, 2024 16:00 - 9 minutes - 6.49 MBMy "Qualongevity" goal is to flourish and enhance my quality of life as I age. But, what do I mean by quality of life? How will I know when I am flourishing? How will I measure the quality of my life.? In this episode, I suggest that the state of flow - that state when we are so absorbed in an activity that time stands still - might be a good measure of quality-of-life. My life will be worth living if I can still engage in activities that activate a flow state. The more time I spend in th...
IS TRUMP ABOVE THE LAW? - U.S. Court of Appeals Ruling - Part 1, Background
March 04, 2024 01:00 - 14 minutes - 10 MBOne of the huge issues facing the nation is whether Donald Trump is immune from prosecution for alleged crimes committed during and after his term as President of the United States? Is Donald Trump - or anyone else - above the law? On the face of it the answer seems obvious. In the United States no one is above the law, not even Presidents. But, Trump is disputing this idea. In our system of government, the courts have the final say in this kind of dispute. It is important, therefore, tha...
IS TRUMP ABOVE THE LAW - U.S. Court of Appeals Ruling - Part 2, Executive Immunity

They explained every aspect of their decision in a 67-page document. To make it easier for everyone to have access to this important ruling, and to understand how the U.S. Court of Appeals came to their decision, I've recorded three of the four main sections of the US Court of Appeals Ruling.

FLOURISH - The Empress & Her Deputy
February 13, 2024 16:00 - 6 minutes - 4.57 MBIn the previous episode I introduced the hemisphere hypothesis put forward by British scholar Iain McGilchrist. The hemisphere hypothesis posits that the two hemisphere of our brains have unique, largely incompatible, ways of relating to the world. The right hemisphere can be characterized as our sensual mind and the left hemisphere as our conceptual mind. We get confused, conflicted and alienated when our conceptual mind dominates and makes us lose our connection with our sensory mind. I...

MANAGE YOUR MIND BY SEEING LIKE AN ARTIST
December 28, 2023 20:00 - 19 minutes - 13.4 MBWhy do all beginning artists draw stick figures? Why is it so difficult to draw an accurate picture of what we see? The reason, I believe, is that unskilled artists draw concepts of what they see rather than drawing what they actually see. Their conceptual brain dominates and prevents the sensory brain from guiding the drawing. Skilled artists have learned to suppress this impulse to draw concepts and instead focus on sensory details. This is what I believe art teacher Betty Edwards ...
EQUANIMITY IS THE KEY TO AGING WELL
December 09, 2023 18:00 - 8 minutes - 5.8 MBIn this reading of an article I wrote for 3rd Act Magazine I suggest that equanimity is a key to aging well.

Transcendent equanimity is a state of mind that not only accepts the mysteries of life, it celebrates them. Support the show Support our work to promote creative aging. Subscribe to the MINDRAMP P...

August 12, 2023 19:00 - 1 hour - 47.6 MBIn this podcast I offer a full reading of the Mar-A-Lago indictment of Trump and Nauta.
