Episode 46: Justice Just Is

Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue ·

2023/03/10

I believe life is actually perfectly fair; yet from a lower perspective it’s true and useful to say that life is in many ways unfair. Bad actions are rewarded, goodness gets punished, tyranny thrives and nobility is suppressed – but in order to properly understand these challenges, and so deal with them wisely and skillfully, it is first necessary to connect to the big picture reality that everything that exists is indeed an inevitable and flawless, integral part of the glorious whole of creation

Episode 45: Why World War III Is Stupid

Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue ·

2023/03/02

Believe it or not, in the year 2023, some very powerful people think it’d be a great idea for the USA and its allies to engage in mass killing with the Russians and their allies. Despite the presence of nuclear weapons, the fragility of our societies and economies, and above all our common bonds of selfhood, humanity, divine love and that deepest wish to be good and to see good things grow in the world . . . still the machines and merchants of war and hatred, blind ideology and cold-hearted

Episode 44: Being Cool

Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue ·

2023/02/24

Let us dive into the mysteries of coolness, and in particular the very practical questions of to what extent and in what specific ways we can interface with the idea of being cool as an ideal to inspire us to be our most authentic and most expansive selves, to flourish happily. This is in opposition to the unhealthy patterns which can arise around this concept, which we explore too. In the end, cool is a zone of freedom, peace, joy, self expression and being.

Episode 43: Only Fear Is Afraid

Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue ·

2023/02/17

Fear is a primordial aspect of being a living being in 3D space and it certainly has its vital role to play in a balanced and flourishing life; however, it’s fair to say fear is nowadays far out of bounds in the average individual and society. This episode explores what a healthy relationship to fear might be; within ourselves, between ourselves, and in society at large. But we also go deeper and consider the true nature of fearfulness at its core, revealing that in fact you and I, the soul itself,

Episode 42: Wherefore Art Thou Bob Dylan?

Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue ·

2023/02/10

My brother and I dive deep into the profound nature and mindblowing artistic mastery of intergalactic treasure Bob Dylan, widely considered the greatest songwriter of all time and yet arguably still underrated. Whether you are a Dylan fanatic or have never heard of the man sometimes called the Shakespeare of our times, may this episode open your eyes. We discuss the spiritual dimension, mathematical songwriting, hidden political subtexts, the broad exploration of the human condition, the virtues of

Episode 41: Why To Go To Peace Against War

Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue ·

2023/02/03

Conflict is sometimes necessary, but we must strive with all our conscience and power for violence to only be let loose in self-defence; whether individually or collectively. Today I present my thoughts on the connection between inner peace and outer peace, when and why it is morally justified to fight, explore much of the messy in-between areas where one might wonder whether it is our right (or even obligation) to intervene or not, and finally I discuss the ongoing war in Ukraine and provide some

Episode 40: Twelve Souls To Rock Your World

This time I’m offering connections to a dozen very interesting people who I have found on my journey into knowledge and who I appreciate deeply for various flavours of reason; yet all sharing the ability to blow minds and uplift us to greater possibilities as human beings. I do hope and trust you will leave this episode with one or two or ten revolutionary new avenues of thought and experience to travel along, learn from and spiritually flourish.

Episode 38: Consistency Over Intensity

Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue ·

2023/01/13

This fittingly brief episode looks at the many ways in which beginning small, or continuing small, can allow us to set and keep habits that would otherwise be beyond us. Intensity of effort is an excellent thing and necessary for full flourishing; but consistency is primary.

Episode 37: Shall We Be Honest?

Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue ·

2023/01/06

Honesty is the bedrock of a healthy society and a healthy mind, the means by which we find what is real and what is right; without which individuals and groups cannot flourish. Yet we lie all the time, in ways great and small; only a slim slither of which is justified. Be it for reasons of ethical principle, pragmatic ease of living, or soulful authenticity, the truth shall set us free if only we will stop putting it back in the cage of our ommissions and lies.

Episode 36: Desire

Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue ·

2022/12/30

We all want things: to get this and not to get that. This is one of the most natural things imaginable, being the bedrock of most animal brain structures and behaviour. Of course desire can cause problems if we become attached to outcomes instead of accepting the results of circumstance with grace, or if we seek things which are harmful to ourselves or the collective, breaking the balance and harmony of the ecosystems in which we are embedded – however it is essential that we cultivate our willpower

Episode 35: Something To Celebrate

Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue ·

2022/12/23

Each and every moment, thing or person can be celebrated – given our attention and appreciation, setting negative aspects aside and allowing the positive to reveal its full glory – and doing so is a skill that can and should be practised for us to live in health, happiness and wisdom. Many of us can stuggle to celebrate ourselves or others and the worthy things we achieve, but focusing on the bright side is essential to keeping balance over the mind. Festivals such as Christmas are formalised

Episode 34: When Kindness Eats Itself

Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue ·

2022/12/16

Like the mythical orouborus, there are times when ‘kindness’ is in fact unkind; when a stance of softness and allowing becomes harmful and thus, in truth, a form of meanness. The modern West has learnt much from the crueller episodes of world history and come to an appreciation of the value of gentleness, inclusion and respect for the disempowered; however, as is so often the case in life and learning, the mainstream culture is veering too far in this once progressive direction, to the point that we

Episode 33: Determined To Have Free Will

Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue ·

2022/12/09

Let’s take a look at the very persuasive arguments for why free will is an illusion and in fact our whole lives and the entire universe are as determined as an elaborate wind-up clock. Then let us look at the even more persuasive (I think) case for why free will is in fact real. The key is in realising that both are true: most of our actions are determined, but we are able to take certain steps of mind and body which increasingly release us to genuine choice.

My brother Mark and I get into, through, out of and all over within and without the nooks, crannies and existential alcoves of happiness and how to take the choice each moment to be unreasonably happy; without cause or reason beyond the fact that we can if we want to. We also enjoy a mindmeld of whimsy, conversational sabotage and verbal shenanigans.

Episode 31: Paling The Blues - Tips For Depression

Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue ·

2022/11/25

Sadness and loss of drive and direction are normal and even healthy in a balanced life; so long as they arise only now and then, and briefly, then passing on as joys spring up anew. Sometimes such pain may stay longer, due to some great loss; a friend, a lover, a dream. But when the blues is outstaying it’s welcome, settling itself in the house of our hearts for weeks, months and years on end . . . it is not healthy and we call it depression. As someone who has endured and overcome depression in my

Episode 30: How To Know What’s True

Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue ·

2022/11/18

Critical thinking is a vital skill which is sadly absent from most people’s schooling. It is the systematic questioning of everything by time-tested tools of logic in order to assess the merits and demerits of any claim a person might make about what is real and what is right. This episode examines the fundamentals of how to think in such a way that one combines open-mindedness with a careful scrutiny of all ideas, no matter their source or emotional colouring – a skill upon which our well-being and

Episode 29: The Power of Memory

Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue ·

2022/11/11

Memory is at the core of who we are, being the ability to know what oneself and the world have been up to up to now, and thus to know what might be coming down from the future. This episode looks at seven vital aspects of memory, offering tips about ways to practically inculcate in YOUR life a greater respect for and presence of memory; a deeper sense of self-awareness and autonomy of mind and spirit in an increasingly tech-dependent society. From doing mental maths just for the kick of it, to

Episode 28: Mindful Money

Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue ·

2022/11/04

Do you like money? Would you like a little more money? Or do you think it’s the root of all evil and we’d be wise to banish it to the edge of the Earth where dragons could gobble it up and save us a world of trouble? Despite the dangers of becoming addicted to money for its own sake and the corrosive effect money can have on politics and society at large, I firmly believe money and the system of free exchange in which it naturally arises are a blessing upon humanity. The way forward to realising our

Episode 27: Quality Over Quantity

Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue ·

2022/10/27

Less is more, when more would mean a dilution of the essential advantage of the thing. This is very common in nature, throughout our lives; where simplicity is beautiful and full to overflowing with quiet richness. Why give a soliloquy when a sentence will do? Why eat a mountain of cheap food instead of a stoic serving of delicious pricier food? Who lived more, Jimi Hendrix or the centenarian who never let himself laugh or cry at the intensity of experience; who carefully delayed his burial by
