2/20/2024
Welp...life is kicking my butt...just like you. But what else can we do, but try and find the most virtuous foot in front of the other...one step at a time. I am unable to record videos at this time, nor can I continue my reading of the books (maybe next year) But for this season, I am going to do what I can, which is a short, unedited audio podcast (that's right...we're going back OLD SCHOOL to the first few seasons!). Today I am answering the question of how to quit smoking/vaping or any other addiction. The answer is simple but it might surprise you. Lots of love from me to you and here we go with another season (albeit chaotically!) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andersonsilver/message

Who are you? You look in the mirror and say "I". You look at a picture of you from 10 years ago and say "I". Yet the two entities you are looking at are not the same. They do not look the same. They do not exist in the same moment of space-time. So who is "I"? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andersonsilver/message

5/22/2023
Why is life so hard? Why must everything be so difficult? Why do I feel like the universe is sometimes conspiring against me...all the time? These are universal questions that transcend all "differences" between us, and the answer is exactly what you think it is. There is no fair...or unfair. Life just is and the universe is thus. We have no say in the matter no matter how upset we are or how loud we yell. Accepting this, is the key to shaking the yolk of the human condition. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andersonsilver/message
