The Only True Compassion (w/ Tim Cliss)

The ZDoggMD Show ·

2026/10/02

I sat down with Tim Cliss to talk about how nobody's home, how there's no prize at the end of the "spiritual" search, and how compassion works a lot better once there's no "you" left to get in its way. Also featured: psychedelics, ego death, and the surprisingly good news that hope is doomed 🥳Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The end of seeking is NOT what you think

The ZDoggMD Show ·

2026/09/28

I got an email this morning with the subject: "I died and you helped. Thanks." 😳Here's the resulting YouTube LIVE discussion! Topics covered: Reading an email from a longtime viewer describing two years of awakening, contraction, and finally the realization there was never anyone on the journey Why the end of seeking is surprising precisely because it's so ordinary, not some mystical attainment Why "unconditional love" and other spiritual language are imperfect pointers, and what

Beliefs are tricky...

The ZDoggMD Show ·

2026/09/23

The sense of self may die, but these termites eating my house are still VERY much alive 😉My recent livestream on TikTok. Some of the topics touched on: Beliefs as an endless, dissolving process. The VPZD show as a dance of conditioning between hosts and audience. Fighting for a cause as really fighting for identity. Communicating needs with a partner. Book recommendations for exploring non-duality. A partner's neediness as a mirror for one's own conditioning. Doctor as just

Moral Injury, Health 4.0, and the End of "You"

The ZDoggMD Show ·

2026/07/02

A live Q+A wandering through our Sunday zoom meeting with the awakening group, to Jesus Christ Superstar, to the death of "ZDoggMD" as an identity, through moral injury, openness as the prerequisite for everything, why spirituality is a beautiful farce, and what it's like when worry about the future just stops sticking.

Separation is Suffering, But THIS is What's Longed...

The ZDoggMD Show ·

2026/06/16

A two-hour conversation with a fellow "Z" that's for no one and goes exactly nowhere. Perfect! 😅We talk about addiction as hole-filling, and the hole that can never be filled; the seeking energy and what it actually wants; the dying process of identity deconstructing in reverse order; why the sense of a separate self is not a thought but an embodied energetic misunderstanding; why there's no practice because the person can't get rid of itself; what's actually longed for (not what the mind

All That Seeking Just To End Up HERE | Monday Zen, LIVE

The ZDoggMD Show ·

2026/04/21

Nina chose Vassar — and that news kicks off a wide-ranging Monday Zen live that covers a lot of ground. We start with the "spiritual journey" in full: from burning out as a doctor, to a spontaneous awakening in Las Vegas, to years of meditation, retreats, shadow work, and psychedelics, all of it eventually collapsing into the simple recognition that it was always just this. Along the way: why lying becomes nearly impossible when there's nothing left to protect, what every psychedelic from

This episode is the full debrief...the steel cut oats, the Hogwarts campus, the NYU dean who told an auditorium full of accepted students and families that it's depressing to be poor, and what all of it reveals about ambition, projection, and just letting life life itself since the script is already written, bruh.
