All right, it's Oh, boy. What is today? Tuesday, December 30th, the end of 2025. I don't know about y'all but I'm glad to move on to 26. 25 was a challenge for me. I'll just say beautiful, grateful for all of it. It was all just made of love. But boy sometimes it felt like love was ugly. Oh, man. All right, let's see. Um, we'll talk about anything you want. I called this episode the root of love maybe or something like that. I don't know. Just comes out and I'm like like a monkey with a typewriter basically like AI. Um so we can talk about maybe a little we'll start with like what I mean by that. Hi Janna or Jana and Pierre in Virginia, Iowa and Virginia.

So, you know, this little journey is such an interesting one because you go through all of this interesting unraveling and different insights arise like oh everything's not substantial like I thought like it's not actually a material world but it shows up like that but in experience it's actually completely ephemeral there's nothing permanent no certainty no predictability no time no space then you look more and there's no me except for an appearance a self sense but no separate self that can actually be found and experience. So this kind of collapse into the abyss into the void is part of the apparent realization here.

And at times that can be as you can imagine for the residual selfpersonality conditioning very disorienting. It can feel um you know different terms like nihilism, existentialism, these different kind of philosophical ideas can arise but they're all more thought. They're more kind of trying to make something of something that you can't make anything of. But then at least for me it seems something kind of radical starts to happen where after everything empties out. G you see a lot of your conditioning. You see your trauma. You see all your patterns of behavior. How you've been trying to get get achieve achieve achieve or survive or um make yourself feel enough. Make yourself feel seen. Make yourself feel loved. do all the things. And after you start emptying that out and that scene is like, "Oh my gosh, what was that?"

And you've seen me express in all these different ways. Something starts to happen where now and this is just a way of speaking but you can start to be filled up again. And what is it that fills you up? And I don't know any other way of saying this but to say that it's pure unconditional radiant love that is the fabric of the whole thing. It's nothing trying to be all of this and it feels like love and it just fills you up. And then all that stuff that you emptied out, all those hurts and traumas and patterns and habits and they still appear and they still dance and they still they're seen to be made of love. They're made of the same thing.

Abuse and abuser, abusy and abuser. They're love dancing expressing through the dysfunction of the human form. And there's a kind of a fullness to the whole thing. It's like it doesn't mean you roll over and say that's all okay. It means that forgiveness love for other and self and the disillusion of other and self and all of it is one swirling radiance and it's felt. You can't talk about it even though I'm trying because we're doing video but it just fills you up. You embody this realization. Meaning mind can't know it. So what knows it?

It knows it. It just wakes up to itself. This is all just ways of speaking. But it's just like what? And you see it on people's faces. You see it in the pavement in Jesus Christ Superstar the musical. What did Jesus say? The rocks and stones themselves will start to sing. Andrew Lloyd Weber for the win. Cynthia finally I caught alive. It's redhaired Cindy from the Georgia tribe. Have the best year. Z. Love you. Love you too Cynthia. Kathleen says, "Are you smoking weed?" No. Although I have dabbled in all the psychedelics and all they do is point you back to this love. They just get you in the room with it. They're like "Okay, come here. Kicking and screaming.

Go here. Here." And what you see in that room is what you're able to see at that time. So it might just be trauma. It might be fear. It might be demons. It might be god knows what. It might be bliss. But at some point it just shows you it's always been this. This is the love. This is the radiance. This is it. No need for drugs, no need for medicines. You know there's a great story of Nim Karoli Baba who was Ramdas's guru in India and kind of famous guy beautiful book called miracles of love. uh Ramdas wrote about stories about this guy really a tremendous being and Ramdas went to him and said I've got this LSD like what do you think about this you know oh oh great guru and Nim Kuroli Baba was like give me that how much is this like 300 micrograms how much is this another 300 micrograms like these are like insane doses that would make any person go insane and he just goes takes three of them. How long will it

take to kick in? And uh Ramdas is like like 20 minutes to an hour and and he's sitting there and then he pretends for a second to GO CRAZY. HE'S LIKE AND RAMDAS is like, "Oh [ __ ] I killed my guru." And then he's like "Nothing." One hour goes by, nothing. And he tells Ramdas he goes when you're when you remember God and God is this my friend Ishwar said this beautifully love this love that we're pointing at is what's referred to as God. So when you're saying remember God you're saying remember love because God is love. Love is what's referred to as God in this way of speaking. I know some Christians are going to be pissed and some God, everyone will be pissed. Beautiful.

That's love, too. So so he says when you remember God, you remember love. These things get you in the door, but you don't need them anymore. And they all have no effect. So all of them are gates or tools depending on how you use them. They can also be addictions, dependencies distractions traps also made of love. Also the great dance Leela, the great dance. Susan Mosley are you familiar with Peter Brown? You sound very similar or just this radiant pre presence. Yes. Um my friend John Aston was a student or a good friend of Peters and spoke very highly of him and I read a little of his one of his books recently because someone told me this they're like oh you sound like Peter Brown and then I as I was reading it I was like well I mean the realization's the realization. So any any of you a parent use that will see this realize this will potentially resonate with those expressions because they're coming from

that same place the placeless place of this where you couldn't be anywhere else. There's always only just this radiance. That's why Ramdas wrote that book after he came back from India. Be here now that it's be here now. There's nowhere else. Even here and now and be are all conceptual. But you got to talk. So you got to write a book. So what are you going to do? Hi Rada. 2026 is your blank canvas painted with courage, kindness, and unstoppable dreams. Happy new year 2020. That's beautiful. I like that. Yep. Su. Hi from Germany. Waldi donashane for coming. I hope I said that right. Desh says, "And I'm the one that went to the Parsei temple in Fire Temple in Toronto. I messaged you photos." Oh yes. Gorgeous. That's my people. The Paris. There's a Nim Karoli ashram in Taos. I went last year. Oh, Desh, tell me. Um, was there a vibe there? Cuz people say that he still transmits despite leaving his body in 1973.

Actually, he died just a few months after I was born. And I was in India when he died cuz my mother took me there when I was 6 months old and I stayed there till I was about a year and a half. So I was there about a year. Um my dad was back in New Jersey doing his second residency and uh so for all I know I crossed paths. You never know. Um Totty Totty says, "OMG, how are you doc? Straight out of NYC." Oh, NYC is my favoriteest place. We went this summer and it was just amazing. I fell in love with all of it. All of it. Flushing Queens Midtown downtown Uptown Central Park. And I'm a Jersey boy. I born and raised till I was eight, but left when I was eight. So, I feel like it was raw. I was stolen away to come to California, and I I want to go back except for the weather. Uh, Desh says "I'll message you when they uh when when they smudged, I took Paulo Santo and Sage with me there." Oh, cool, man. Ted

says, "Uh, I'm still in medicine, but I'm happy to interact with you with or without Doc Vader's permission." Well don't get me started. You don't need Vader's permission, as you know, to hang out. We can always uh mix in some medicine. Dave Dean, thanks for the stars brother. Um, oh, cool. Dinner's going to send me the video. So, that's what we're talking about is this radical root love that we've been talking about the whole time. We just didn't know it. Yeah, Ted. Um, Vader for the win. I have his helmet right in there cuz I Oh, I'm in the studio today. I forgot to tell you guys that's where I am. This is the the outside here. Let's let's let's go on a little walkabout real quick. So this is the outside of the studio. This is the kitchen and where I'm little doing my little broadcast from.

And here's the actual studio, but we're not going to go in there cuz it is currently a mess. And here's some, let's see, some different art and things. Yay. Oh, check this out. This one's crazy, though. We got this from an artist in China who does these laser etched. So, it's three-dimensional wood carvings that are laser etched that he stacks and it has this beautiful um three-dimensional depth to it. Yeah, I really love this thing. My wife found it cuz she's way better than me at all these things. And then one other thing I want to show you guys. This is um one of our supporters who just I just got this lovely video from today and this is her she calls it her parts art. So when she was doing sort of internal family systems work on herself going back for trauma and things like that. And I'm not doing this justice at all but that emptying out process I was talking about to reexpose that radiant love that was

there as a child. You remember it. Do you remember it? Do you remember being a kid that just everything was love? We just didn't have a word for it because there's no need for words for it. Just magic. So when you empty that out, going back for that child, you know, these little parts come out. And she had mentioned each of these as one of her little internal children in her internal family that needed to be seen, wanted to express, had been silenced or not given a voice or not thanked not allowed. You know, it's beautiful. This whole thing, the whole journey, it's love.

It really is. Got a yoga mat on the ground like I'm going to do yoga today. I'm just feeling lazy, bro. Um, Evelyn says, "Pointers towards truth that may seem hidden yet reflected everywhere." Everywhere. Everywhere. They're everywhere. They're in your cereal in the morning. You know, they're all over the place. Everything is pointing at itself, at reality, at this fundamental truth, this love. But to get to, get, that, clarity,, it, seems, at least here how it seems is you got to lose everything. You got to empty it out. You got to allow it. Give it back into that because it never was yours. Cuz yours is a thought.

It's all that is. That's all that is. That's what you is. Never separate from this. Patrick says, "I perceive love as our default setting. Dwelling on past and future develops regret, anger, PTSD fear, worry, etc. Living in the present removes all that, leaving only love and contentment." That's like you clean the mirror so you can see what's actually there. It's just bright reflection of what is. It's reflecting itself. But the truth is even that anger, PTSD, regret, living in past, living in future, that's this too.

That is also this. It's also this radiance. And there's a realization where that can actually be felt. It's like the worst thing that's ever happened to you. You can just feel is this made of this radiance. And that's not to excuse bad things. It's not to say things don't feel bad. They do. Absolutely. But ultimately, that's the substance of it. That's the good news, right? Tra thoughts on trauma therapy. Briana there are many different approaches to trauma and I think they are all they all can have their place at the right time.

It's important if you've had trauma, I think to you have to do this work in some way. It'll show up. If you don't you can be exposed to this kind of these kind of realizations and they can feel terrifying. The body can recoil because the body's like, "Nope, not safe." So that's the work. That's the that's the love working itself out is trauma. So don't be afraid of that stuff. Well it is scary to the person. It's scary to the the sense of the separate self and that's okay. It can be overcome. and you won't do it. It'll be a surrender. You'll be surrendered in a way.

Sheila says, "Hello, Zdog. Happy New Year. My husband passed on Christmas." Oh, but life goes on. H love your encouraging words and energy, Sheila. I'm sorry. Christmas. Yeah. I have a friend who lost his mother on Christmas and so that day takes on a new resonance. Um but Sheila, I think I can tell by the way you express that you already know this, that there's nowhere he would go if you know what I mean.

Another way of saying that is love can neither be created nor destroyed. It's just like energy. So it's like a phase change. Anytime we think about death, we're wrong. There's nothing that can be thought about. In fact, death is a concept. So, yeah, really sorry for your loss. Brandon says, "In the end, there's only unity." Um, love moves us towards this inevitable outcome. Yeah, it's um, man, even unity is tough. Like a another way you could say this is not two, never one. None of that. Not many, not one. Also many and one.

It's a total paradox for the mind. This is all there is. Everything all past future history exists here. This so even oneness you can have experiences of oneness but there are experiences there are thought forms emotion forms. This is even that's why they use the term nonduel. It's not two. They don't say all one although people express that way. It doesn't mean all one is wrong because it can be felt like that. But even dropping the idea of unity then what? H just what is no way it needs to be. No place you're going to no place you're coming from. Just what is and all that is is this.

And then that opens like a flower, like a lotus, just shows you all the things that aren't things [snorts] the radiance, the love, all these words. They're just words, but yeah. Sue says, "Uh, in your opinion, what exactly is the pain body unhealed shadow energies?" So we talked about this in the last live. Pain body is an echartolli expression. It's basically the conditioning. It's all the the energies that have accumulated. You know the the the Hindus would call it karma. Um the Buddhists would use karma maybe as a term. It's it's this accumulated conditioned energy and it can be traumatic. It can be reactive. It can be painful. It can be ancestral. It can be communal. So Young talked about the collective shadow. Carl Carl Young you know, like you know, Jewish people have the Holocaust as a collective trauma.

Americans have the Civil War to some extent still in parts of the country. Um, and the pain body is something that when it's not made conscious, it hijacks identity. It becomes you. So, you suddenly go unconscious and become reactive. You're suddenly acting out in these ways that seem totally maladaptive. And at one point, they might have been adaptive when the trauma originally happened, but now they're not. And you just look crazy. And then you're like, why did I do that? That to me is what pain body is. So what to do about the pain body? Well, this is the thing because this idea that you're that you have some control over this is not true. What may be true is you can allow the seeing of all of that and then you see what's happening. You see why you do the things you do and that's enough. Sometimes it just dissolves.

Sometimes it shows up but it has no power. Sometimes it keeps hijacking you until it doesn't. Yeah, pain body. You know when it shows up too when you're aware because then when you're living really consciously it's like oh [ __ ] I just got hijacked by my [ __ ] You can feel it and then you then there's a natural tendency that seems to arise that wants to attune to it like oo let me look there and there's almost a little subtle excitement like oo I there's something I haven't seen something I haven't welcomed something I haven't allowed something that hasn't been given space to express and has been resisted and so it's persisted maybe, I, don't know, I'm, making, this, [ __ ] up it's just coming out of my mouth I have no idea I really don't I have my own experience and I'm sharing that. But I don't know what's what. I don't know what causality is. I don't know what temporality is. Like this happened in

the past and now it causes this. I don't know what that means anymore. I I know what it means and I don't. If you catch what I'm throwing, there's an unknowing here, a not knowing that facilitates all knowing of the mind. The mind is that not knowing love. like not knowing. It has nothing to do with mind and nothing can be known because the thing that's knowing it is itself in appearance. Mind. Thoughts going to thoughts going to belief. Going to memory going to phantoms. Phantoms. Phantoms. Some of them are energetic.

Some of them are thoughts. Some of them are sensations. Still just what they are. Appearance. Perfect in being what they are. Having nothing to do with good or bad. One may well burst out in laughter, says Long Chimpa. Susan, great answer. Thank you. Still processing this crap. Oh, the processing goes on till till whatever death is, I think. Desh says, I'm fairly certain it's in the books uh you've reviewed. Um what are we talking about? There is no loss. I'm going back through your comments, Desh. Those that we lose are close to us uh will always be with us. Yes, Dave. Thanks for the stars. Um yeah. I mean, all all the stuff speaks of this in different ways. Some of it's right, some of it's just kind of made up, but it's all pointing, I think, from the same thing. Um Waldi says, "Do you sometimes feel lonely, really lonely, even among people? You just accept it because that is reality. Something I have to accept

and go through it. Your thoughts on the subject?" Yeah. Hm. So loneliness in this um adventure is um is a recurring companion. Some of this loneliness is societal ostracization. So you kind of see things more and more as they are, which means society doesn't make sense except as another construction and appearance. It becomes less possible for you to play that game knowingly and it can be very lonely. So people are talking about all their [ __ ] and you're just going don't know that that resonates at [snorts] all anymore. And then you know there's the existential loneliness of knowing that there's only this nothing else. No past, no future constant freef fall.

All you're ever seeing is you and everybody. Everybody else you see is a manifestation of capital S self if there's such a thing meaning it's all this. So there's no separation. So in a sense that creates a kind of a existential loneliness but for who? For the residual sense of the separate self that's still clinging to the things. Um, and that can relax, that can go, but it is a big phase. But the human loneliness for me, that was a big deal actually over the last couple years. I say 2025 2024 was worse for that. 2025 started to integrate that. Now the way it feels for me is it doesn't matter where a human is.

Doesn't matter where they're expressing from. that's where I'll be with them because they're me. So, it's just Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And the thing is, it's nice that we remember what that's like and can energetically feel it and go "Yeah, yeah." And so that loneliness starts to soften. It starts to feel more like loveliness. from loneliness to loveliness where it's all loveness. It's all this same stuff. And that means sometimes you're miserable. Sometimes you're feeling other people's misery and it's it's yours. So you feel it fully, but it doesn't stick. That's the difference.

It's felt. And the act of compassion is to feel it and and witness it fully and then let it go because there's self-compassion for this being which is it doesn't want to suffer all day with the collective trauma or someone else's trauma or its own trauma when it can be felt, acknowledged, thanked and let go.

Oh yeah, I know Dan. I know of Dan's film, Susan. Very cool, Patrick. Loneliness is created by the need for external validation. Happiness happens when you accept yourself. So external validation is one of the last things to seemingly go because we're social creatures and that's deep painbody conditioning. That's deep mamalian conditioning. like we need our tribe to accept us or we will die. That's how we're evolved, you know, conditioned. That's the karma of humans. Um so a loneliness can happen when you don't feel that validation.

And that need for validation starts to go when the one who needed it starts to dissolve, starts to be seen through the self itself. This this sense of me in my experience it's not that it goes away. It's that it's seen for what it is moment to moment. It's an appearance. It's like a structure like any of this happening now as part of all of this with not separate from any of it. So the the belief in a separate abiding self goes, but the arising energetics of the separate self or the self can still arise. That's my experience currently. That may go too.

I've heard that it does. Honestly, I don't care one way or the other. I've stopped trying to seek some outcome. Although probably subtly there's a little vestage of seeking. Sandy says, "You're explaining grief to me as an easier way to deal with it." Yeah, grief. Sandy that becomes as part of this grief. So, we're talking about love, right? Love and grief are the same thing. Why would you have grief? Because there's love. There's a sense that you've lost something and there's this love and yearning and longing for it, an appreciation for it.

a yearning for it, a grieving for it. That's what it is. But grief itself is just another beautiful movement of that love. And nothing is gained or lost ever. That's the crazy thing. Cuz this is this just radiant. What the [ __ ] is this total mystery? What? What what is it that could be lost here or gained here? And for whom? Everything is complete in every moment. Everything. All of it. Especially in including the feeling of loss grief longing yearning missing loneliness, existential terror, all of it. Anger. Anger comes up. Oh boy, does anger come up.

All these boundary emotions just like that have been suppressed because they're unsafe. Now they're safely expressed. You go scream in the car. You scream into a pillow. You You set boundaries with people that have been maybe you've not done that with. It's a compassionate act. It's an act of love. Fear. Sandy. Big one. Yep. Hi Patricia in New Mexico. Um,

yeah. I mean, there's 56 people watching right now. December 30th, Tuesday morning. Why are you watching this? Are you watching it? Or is this just thising together? All of this us. Isn't it something? Like I feel it. I don't know. Can you feel it? Especially live. That's why I like live video because like here we are. Isn't this crazy? This is it. This is what I'm pointing at. This it's now. Here we are.

Nowhere else. It's always been this. What have you been looking for? Look. Just look right here. It's this. so much of our lives looking looking for that child that's always been sitting here waiting like looking at his watch. Are you back yet? Looking at her watch. Looking at their watch. I'm pronoun independent. Evelyn says, "Absolutely. It resonates with me like a tuning fork." Right. Wayne, been a minute. Perhaps it helps to consider the experience as two tracks. Oh, Wayne Shepard. Um, like stereo. That's right. I remember I believe you talking about this if I'm remembering correctly. On track one is the dreaming experience of everything that seems to be happening while on the other it's the perfect stillness where nothing is happening and all is unfolding perfectly just as it is. Okay, let me read what Wayne says again because Wayne told me this maybe two three years ago on a phone call.

If this is the same Wayne we're talking about. I hope you're doing well, by the way. Um I was actually standing right here talking on the phone with you, Wayne because I'd read something that you'd sent me and it was so clear. I was like "Yeah, Wayne knows. Wayne has seen this." And uh, yeah, you told me I'll read it again. Experiences like two tracks, like stereo. I think we were both audio nerds. On track one is the dreaming experience of this where mind is overlaying everything with substance, permanence predictability names labels forms.

And on the other track is this perfect stillness, total empty radiant potential. And they are playing in stereo, meaning they're both happening at the same time. And that's saying too much. We're already making a separation. They're the same thing. And it can just be experienced as empty, no thing, loving itself into form without any delay. Just that's what it is. And it's perfect. Meaning not that it doesn't have pain and trouble in it, trouble from the mind standpoint. It's perfect in that it is exactly as it is. It couldn't be other and there's no problem here.

Ultimately, there's nothing there's nothing wrong. Never has been. Nothing lost, nothing gained, nothing missing nowhere to go. And yet the appearance of a journey, appearance of a hero's journey, appearance of a life appearance of all the things. Whoa, what a miracle both at the same time. Left channel right channel merge into a stereo experience from the standpoint of experience. And then the experiencer drops and there's just that. There's just that. No need for a witness of it. Even not to Awesome to see you, Wayne.

Um, awesome Moren. I love you guys so much. Like the the Facebook crew when we go live is just Oh, I feel it. Like it's so beautiful reading the comments. Sandy, I'm glad. Um can you talk about experiencing despair instead of laughter? Oh, yeah. man. Oh sure. I mean, I've talked a lot about how when I drop into that in like really that stillness is so obvious that nothing was ever really happening, I just start giggling. But there are other times where it's like what arises then is just pure [ __ ] despair. Like, no.

Because the the mind wants it wants a foothold. It wants to make something of it. It wants its whole life as a video game character and all the experience points it's built and all its treasures to be real, to mean something. It wants meaning for God's sake. And there's none to be found there except what we create. And that can feel like despair [snorts] until it doesn't. Cuz the one that feels that is that constellation of contracted energy that feels like it's separate. Of course, it would despair. It doesn't want that. It is not wantable for that. There's no just just no way. Just no way. Tweak this a little for fun. Um let me scroll down.

Oh, that's sweet. Desh, I'm glad it comes through that way. Wayne says, "Yep, it's me. Currently living in the mountains of Colombia." God bless you, Wayne. Um, glad to see you still. Uh, glad to see you still seem to be happening. Yeah, you too, brother. I know you're going through some stuff, so hopefully that's settled down. Um yeah, Colia. Damn, you're living the dream, man. Hopefully you're growing and smuggling cocaine. No right and wrong, right, Christa? It's thising. Plus, I have the day off, so it was meant to be. There you go. My Greek vampire Patrick says, "I guess I'm watching because I'm seeking truth and I perceive that you point to some truth.

Not that I accept it blindly, good but that I reflect on it and perceive the truth in it." Exactly. And when you leave comments and we bounce off each other, it there's something that like radiates off it, right? Some kind of truth, whatever that is. Yeah. Beautiful. I'm so glad you're here, Roxan. I haven't seen you in a long while. You showed up in my feed. I feel your positive and authentic energy. That is awesome. It's nice to show up again after after an absence. The algorithm is funny.
