98: Refusing Karmic Fruit/Love for It's Own Sake

The Ginger Bread Man ·

2023/08/13

Hello My Friends! Welcome back to the show! This week I want to return to the Idea of Karma: Action. The inherent law of Cause and Effect. Things seem to be attached to other things, at least tangentially in the world of Time. However, when we insert ourself arbitrarily into a timeless system, such as Compassion, can we lose our Purpose? Giving another Love is one of the fundamentally Human Acts. How do we keep giving when it becomes difficult? Are We Giving for the right Reasons? This and

97: Haplessly Healing in Habittudes

The Ginger Bread Man ·

2023/08/06

Hello my friends! Welcome Back! This week I want to return to the ideas of Habits, or as I like to sometimes call them "Habittudes". We all know how hard it can be to structurally change a well established Habit, but we often forget how easy it is to make one! But, its never the end of the road, and nothing is forever a Positive or Negative thing. How do our value judgements of a situation affect how we perceive its affect in the future? And, how does our own interconnectivity affect our own

96: Flinching Away from Fear

The Ginger Bread Man ·

2023/07/30

Hello my friends! Welcome Back! We are going to adventure into some dark places today, but that shouldn't be a bad thing. Are you avoiding parts of you? Parts that make you feel uncomfortable? How do you respond to your own Fear? Do you have tactics you use to feel "Better"? I want to investigate today these facets of our being. There are 4 main "base" emotions that can be blended and intensified into the broad range of human emotionality: these are Happy, Sad, Mad, and Afraid. A structurally

The Ginger Bread Man ·

2023/07/09

Hello My Friends! I am heading off to the woods in a few and that got me thinkin... I know, I know people it doesn't take much with the Ginger Bread Man to get the old noggin swinging.. But how often do you consider your connection to the World? What is Nature? Is it really so separate from who we think we Are? This and Much, Much more on Today's Show! Happy Sunday!

93: The Inner-Outer Paradox

The Ginger Bread Man ·

2023/07/02

Hello My Friends! Welcome Back! This week I want to focus on Self-Focused Inner Work. Last week I left you all with the considerations of how it feels when you are working with a team where some members may not be as "involved" as you might wish.. How does that make you feel? Does it reek of Fairness, or Unfairness? How would you feel, in your moment of irritation, If I told you the Key to the Issue is focusing on Yourself? Would that piss you off? But I really do think the fix to most of most of

Hello my Friends! Welcome Back! Take a seat over there by the fire and make yourself comfortable. It's story time! This week I want to dally into some dark topics..

91: Wandering within Weathered Wormholes

The Ginger Bread Man ·

2023/06/18

Hello My Friends! Welcome Back! Weather has been getting strange in my neck of the woods, with my dry desert-steppe climate of Colorful Colorado beginning to feel more like Florida! So much rain has been quenching the dry scorched earth of my beloved state. And this has had me thinking about the connection of our own Inner Weather Patterns. How do we connect meaning when life gives us a Down-Pour? This and much, much more on "The Ginger Bread Man!" You can email me at

90: The Fearsome Continuum of Tedium

The Ginger Bread Man ·

2023/06/11

Hello My Friends! Welcome Back! This week I want to discuss another "Spectrum" of Being. This time on one side we have Novelty: all the deliciously new experiences that bring the Spice of Life. On the other we have the numerous Tedious acts that inundate adult life, and we only seem to collect more of them as we continue on burning through the newness. However, is New inseparable from old in the grand scheme of Isness? How can we embrace and cherish our special place in existence? This and much,

The Ginger Bread Man ·

2023/05/14

Hello My Friends! How are You? What do your roles in your life Look Like? You do know that it is You living your life, not the Position? Your Being is so impressive and has decided to wear so many hats! That's not a bad thing, its just life.

87: Apparent Pareidolia

The Ginger Bread Man ·

2023/04/30

Hello My Friends! Do you know what Pareidolia is? It is the knack for the human brain to find patterns, such as faces or figures, in areas where they may not be. This is how we can enjoy abstract animations, and many other strange phenomena such as seeing Jesus in Toast. We are piggy-backing an idea from last week concerning perception. Its hard enough finding our subject while forgetting we can also be objective! This and much, much more on "The Ginger Bread Man"! Readings from Ramana Maharshi

86: A Light Touch

The Ginger Bread Man ·

2023/04/23

Hello Everyone! Happy Sunday! This week I want to approach a difficult philophical concept from both a western and eastern point of view: Specifically through the Lense of Ramana Maharshi's "I Amness" and Sartre's Existential debauchery of the concept of Becoming? What could two ideologies from such differenct cultural backgrounds have in common? Lets find out!

85: Difficult Decisions for a Stunted Overmind

The Ginger Bread Man ·

2023/04/09

Hello My Friends! This week I want to further dig into how we normalize laws and make decisions as a community and by our self. What does it mean to be Right or Wrong? Is a Wrong only what it is because it is susceptible to punishment? When does equality bend to the whims of the greater Status Quo? This and much, much more on "The Ginger Bread Man"!

The Ginger Bread Man ·

2023/04/02

Hello My Friends! Watch Out! There's.. A... Step.. there.. OOps. Man, that sucks when we trip, but mayhaps its a pretty common thing for us pesky human beans. Brush yourself off, here's a Band-Aid and a cookie. I know it hurts when we find our self mistaken, especially when that mistake may hurt another. How can we take this harsh feeling and learn from it? Is there a spectrum of guilt where we are locked down by depression on one side, and find a valuable growing opportunity on the other? This

The Ginger Bread Man ·

2023/03/26

Hellllllo There! Welcome back! Step inside, have a seat, and get comfortable... Let's Talk about Parenting! Probably one of the most important biological factors in being an animal on this planet is Procreation: First Came Love, then Came Baby in a Baby Carriage aha Most humans will take part in this intense parenting ritual at some time in their lives. For me, it made me who I am. Trials, Tribulations, and Frustrations. Often we make the mistakes of treating our children like little adults, but

The Ginger Bread Man ·

2023/03/12

Well Hello There! Welcome back to my gingerbread Home, full of mystical conversations and abstract tirades to bamboozle minds everywhere and everywhen! Head out back to my magical backyard. A new path appeared last night, along with a towering peak. I have seen some daring climbers, attempting to hold on to the heights. Yet, what are Peak Experiences? Why do some people experience True Love, or a Personal God? Do hallucinogens give some keys to doors of perception only dreamed of? This: and Much,

2023/02/26

Hello my Friends! Welcome Back! With this nice weather how about we head outside? I know this really nice path just right behind the house. No, not that one; the one next to the Tire Swing right there. Next to all the pretty yellow daisies. Thank You for joining me, I always find it more pleasant to walk with company, beauty within beauty. This week I want to talk about our approach to the present moment, specifically when it comes to how we validate our actions or responses. Can we ever

The Ginger Bread Man ·

2023/02/19

Hello my Friends! I am so glad to see you! Please come take a seat, I have some Iced Tea prepared for you and plenty of other treats. Spring is in the Air! Even if your ground hog is being stubborn. I always feel like a phoenix being reborn during this time of year, and my mind immediately goes to spring cleaning. Can we not judge ourselves for our seasonal patterns when we find ourselves not cleaning? I find the seasonality of being, and our own response to the environments patterns, to be a

79: Reasonable Doubt within the Wormhole

The Ginger Bread Man ·

2023/02/05

Hi there, welcome back. Take a seat. My home has morphed into a long hallway with a line of elevators on each side. A paisley wall pattern morphs before your eyes, reverberating in a wave of undulating movement starting at the far end of the colossal hallway, which you cannot see. Anticipation nips at the edge of your Consciousness. Right behind you, you hear the small voice of the heckler. A wonderful pet, and a miserable master. A member of Ego's Horde: Reason! I will be Forevor grateful for your
