Deconversion. That was a new term to me just a few months ago, but it's a process I've been going through for several years. It's the process people go through when they decide to leave their religion. For me it was protestant Christianity, but it could be for any religious group. The further we go into the information age, and the more people learn about the nature of reality, the history of religion, and the true potential of humanity, the more they leave religion. In doing so, they can...

Have you ever wanted to access the Akashik Records? This may be the meditation for you. This recording comes from a document filed in the CIA library reading room (https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00792R000300380001-3.pdf). How this ended up with the CIA, I would love to know. A follower on TikTok asked that I read this and I was thrilled to once I realized what it is. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you find what you're looking for. Shawn.

Do you ever wonder where life comes from? I mean, besides mommy and daddy and the stork. Where does life REALLY come from? Naturally, I have a theory about that. Come check it out with me and we'll expand our minds together!

I have several big goals for this year. Among them, are to publish two books. One is the fiction book I'm working on for my MFA and the other is a non-fiction book. The non-fiction book is a different approach to preventing veteran suicide. Over the last few years I've learned a lot about how to be a veteran and the unique challenges it poses. As someone who wrestles with depression and suicidal tendencies, I've found some unique methods and insights that have helped me navigate this huge...

Does the current state of the world worry you? It worries me. But I have a unique perspective that helps me see it all in a different light. I keep going back to the old precept of "that which is below is like that which is above, and that which is above is like that which is below". It makes me wonder if the things we're seeing in the world aren't in line with that observation. I read a scientific study years ago that part of the reason a woman goes into labor is that the child is taking...

Um...Yeah...I went there. Please let me clarify. After listening to that previous episode, I realized I may have inadvertently made an argument for the supremacy of White culture. In fact, you'd have to pay pretty careful attention to the nuances to take it any other way. If you know me, you'll know that I would never make that argument, because it's counter to everything I believe. But I did a poor job of connecting two seemingly unconnected ideas (it's one of the hazards of thinking out...

Disclaimer: If you're easily offended, or don't fully understand my perspectives on these things, please skip this one. I have an idea I'm trying to work out. It goes something like this: culturally in the West, white represents purity and goodness while black represents deceit and evil. I've struggled for a long time with identifying as White because I don't like the way it feels - it doesn't feel true because I know my own heart, while a lot of people I know who identify as Black are far...

Don't you mean, "How to BE a Dad?" Nope. That's different. I had to take a break for a little while because the family was wrestling with a chest/head cold and loads of other stuff. I really missed my podcasting! But I'm back with loads of new content! Stay tuned! At the end of this podcast, I talk about some of the fun things I have coming up, so stick around, share it around, and...yeah...do that.

Integrating the masculine and feminine sides within oneself is critical. But how do you do that? There's an old fairy tale from the Brothers Grimm called Iron John. It's been a major story of my life and I've thought about it deeply for years. Recently I had a breakthrough and came to understand it in a whole new way.

How well do you know your father? Do you know him at all? Fortunately, I know my father pretty well. Unfortunately, my children don't know me very well. I started this podcast with the simple idea of recording some of the things I wish I could have told my kids when they were growing up. Some of them I've already told them, some of them I haven't. I also miss having Airmen to mentor when I was still in the Air Force. So this is part of my solution. This is the first in the new series of...

Why do some people practice religions? Why is the world so nuts? What are we doing here? Have I ever been shy about tackling the really, really big subjects? Nope. And I'm doing it again here. This one gets pretty deep, so get ready.

Did you realize that money isn't currency, and that currency isn't money? No? Neither did I. And, my good friend, that may be why you're having "money" problems.

Have you ever wondered if there's a right way or a wrong way to live life? Well, there's a right way, or you could say the better way. And I'm gonna talk about it.

Which one is it? Who has the right answer? One? The other? Both? Both.

With all the challenges in life, why bother getting a good education? These days there so much talk about student debt and finding jobs, and pressure for college, that it's easy to lose sight of the real point of getting an education. There's a misconception in our culture that getting the right education is the only way you can lead a good life. That's true to a point, but it misses the larger purpose of getting an education which simply to improve yourself. Sean talks about his own...

Do you ever feel like life is too orderly? No? Neither do I. Too much chaos can be a bad thing. But so can too much order. Sean takes a deep dive into the nature of order and chaos and how they play a part in life. Each of these are opposite ends of a spectrum and both of them play vital roles in life and throughout the universe. Are you welcoming them into your life? How can you do that? Listen, and I'll tell you.

So...the sex talk. Not one of your favorite subjects to hear about? Nor mine. Like everything else on this podcast, I tried to come at this from an objective point of view, and treat it with love and compassion. Admittedly, even though I really want this podcast to be inclusive of everyone, this is geared toward the fellas out there. That's because it's where my experience base is. Also, I wanted to share more about the heart of sexuality from a man's perspective rather than guess about...
