    52. The Empty Freedom in David Foster Wallace's 'Infinite Jest'

    A guest episode with Nikole, wherein we discuss David Foster Wallace's 'Infinite Jest' and the societal problems which the individuals in his novel must grapple and cope with, as they realize in this life they have one of two choices to make: succumb to endless pleasure for lack of any other option, or else delay their gratification for the sake of a lifestyle that is healthier for them mentally and physically.

    'IN THE SHADOW OF ETERNITY' - Rev. Randy Lewis

    'IN THE SHADOW OF ETERNITY' - Rev. Randy Lewis
    The reflection was delivered on Sunday, October 8, 2023, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Randy Lewis, Assistant Minister. DESCRIPTION Gazing at the profound mystery of life, we stand in this present moment, where the everlasting and the transient meet. Our days on this earthly journey are but fleeting shadows, casting a reminder of the impermanence of existence. We realize that time is indeed a precious gift. In the absence of certainty and clarity, how are we to find meaning, hope, and perseverance for our journey? How do we redeem our days and make them count?

    Lucid Dying: Understanding the Near Death Experience

    Lucid Dying: Understanding the Near Death Experience

    Dr. Bruce Greyson has consulted with the National Institutes of Health and addressed symposia on consciousness at the United Nations and at the Dalai Lama’s compound in Dharamsala, India. Dr. Greyson’s interest in near-death experiences began just a few months after graduating from medical school, when he treated an unconscious patient in the emergency room who stunned him the next morning with an account of leaving her body. That event challenged his beliefs about the mind and the brain, and ultimately led him on a journey to study near-death experiences scientifically, leading to more than a hundred publications in medical journals. He co-founded the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS), an organization to support and promote research into these experiences.

    The Final, Deepest, Ultimate Reality

    The Final, Deepest, Ultimate Reality

    The belief that physical reality is the only reality has dominated scientific thinking for a very long time. However, there is now a growing chorus of credentialed researchers who are concluding that things are not what they appear to be and that consciousness is the fundamental base of reality. Dr. Bernardo Kastrup is one such thinker. He has built a fascinating and compelling case that suggests that the Universe, at its deepest core, is not made of matter but rather of mind.
