Welcome to new visitors from the RFTA Podcast! (and to returning friends)

Big thank-you to Dan and Roman of the Rising From the Ashes Podcast for having me over for a three-hour marathon conversation about Stars, Myths, and Self -- and a host of other topics!

Welcome to anyone visiting for the first time after hearing that interview (and to returning friends).

Above is a short clip from the conversation in which we examine Plato’s dialogue entitled Phaedrus, in which Plato has Socrates (in a conversation with Phaedrus) give a very clear hint regarding the purpose of Myth.

The easiest way to hear the episode is to use one of the links here to listen on the podcast "catcher" of your choice.

The interview itself begins at about 0:45:00 into the three-plus hour audio file.

I hope you will find something in our conversation that will be a help to you in some way! Please give Dan and Roman some encouragement and positive feedback with their new podcast, and support independent media as much as you can!

"89% are full!" Who are you going to believe: Joe, or your own eyes?

Austerity means that everyone (except the Oligarchy) has to learn to get by with LESS.

Above is a new video I just published entitled "'89% are full!' Who are you going to believe: Joe, or your own eyes?"

Austerity is a core component of neoliberalism, and it did not just suddenly appear out of nowhere in 2020.

I have been writing about austerity and why it is an affront to the Infinite Realm for years -- well before 2020 -- and austerity as a policy has been increasingly imposed upon the people of various nations (including the United States) since at least the 1970s.

The shamelessness of the lies told with a straight face to the people by the imposters who have taken control of the legitimate governments of the United States and other nations is both shocking and disgusting.

The lie highlighted in this video is easily shown to be a lie by taking a simple trip to any grocery store right now -- and that should cause everyone to ask: "What other brazen lies are these imposters telling us right to our faces, with a smile, in complete contradiction of the evidence we can plainly see with our own eyes?"

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. born this day: Watch and Listen to "I Have a Dream"

A "New You"? A New Language? The Language of Myth

Above is a new promotional video I've just made entitled "A New You? A New Language? The Language of Myth."

So many of us want to find a path towards "A Whole New You."

The world's ancient myths actually point us towards something even better: not a "New You" but rather the "Authentic You" -- our own deeper Self, from whom we so often become alienated but who is in fact always available.

And I am convinced that the more we can reconnect with and listen to Self, the more we will find ourselves being guided towards who and what we really and deeply love in this life -- because Self knows.
