Welcome back to our new series on deconstruction. This week we take a little detour to talk about politics and religion. Separation of church and state, our dark past and the tendency to forget the past - and head straight back to the things that got us into trouble.

Welcome to our new series on deconstruction. This week we discuss how we are indoctrinated in life. Then, at some point we experience enlightenment. And eventually we go through the deconstruction process in order to make sense our our world. And we see that this cycle has repeated itself since the dawn of time.

Welcome to our new series on deconstruction. This week we define the concept, discuss various forms of deconstruction and some of the reasons people give for starting the journey.

This week we discuss oversimplification. This idea that it's way too easy for us to form complete stories in our heads about people, places and things. Stories that are often inaccurate, and stories that keep us from truly understanding that person, place or thing. The simple solution to this problem is proximity.

This week we discuss complexity. The fact that it is increasing in life. And that there are two types: Baked In and Self Generated Complexity. Join us as we self diagnose and move toward simplicity.

This week we take a deep dive into Spiral Dynamics. How the theory does an amazing job explaining the Human Condition, and how we can learn to rise above it once we understand more about it.

Have you heard the phrase, "We were made for more?" This week we discuss what that means in three ways: More of me, more for others and more for later. See how this idea overlaps with the Big 3 Questions, and our main theme of rising above the Human Condition.

This week we discuss the fact that God created the dark. But that at some point it was hijacked by Satan for more sinister purpose. Join us as we talk spiritual warfare, the multiverse and even the ending of Interstellar. All while we move toward the light.

Last week the entire world watched as Roe v Wade was overturned - throwing our country into a sea of mixed emotions. Some believing we are headed in the right direction. Others fearful that our progress has been subverted. Join me as we discuss the deeper implications of this monumental change.

We've all heard that assuming can make an ass out of you and me... But how exactly does that work? What are some common types of assumptions? And how can we avoid making them?

What does it look like to return to a previous environment? Last week my family returned to the Midwest - specifically Indiana. We attended a wedding, and spent time with family and friends. Join me as I walk down memory lane - and deal with some unfounded anxieties.

We've all heard the term "woke." But what does it mean? And are we part of that group? Join us as we discuss two new concepts that overlap with our main topic: Deconstruction and The Transcendent Spiral.

We've all heard the term "woke." But what does it mean? And who is part of that group? Join us as we discuss two new concepts that overlap with our main topic: The Awakening and Spiral Dynamics.

We've all heard the term "woke." But what does it mean? And who is part of that group? Join us as we discuss the current culture, our role in it and how we can set an alarm clock to make sure we don't sleep through it.

This week we discuss toxic positivity, nihilism and how we can avoid going to these extremes. Join us as we discuss the importance of our mood - and handling the emotions that go along with them.

Join us this week for our first "Transcendent Rant." Typically these rants will include various topics that have nothing in common. But this week they all seemed to fit into one category: The End of Time.

We all see things based on our vantage point. Perception is reality. But many times what we see is a mirage. Something that looks right to us - but can be very wrong in reality. Join us as we try to see more clearly.

We all understand the struggle is real. But today we throw in a few other concepts: The struggle is in check and the struggle is beneficial.

On some level we all struggle with Physical, Emotional and/or Spiritual Inactivity. So what does it look like to Transcend Human in this area? Start by asking: What's next? And how do I get there?

Do you struggle with First World Problems? I think we all do - especially now! Having gone through a pandemic, I would suggest many of us are struggling with Post-COVID First World Problem Syndrome. Join us as we discuss ways to rise above these problems.
