Ireland is beautiful! The grass is always greener and so Australia may seem like the wise move if you are a young Irish person looking around at the mess our government has got us into and the many pressures and limitations one must deal with on the Emerald Isle. However, this island and this nation are precious beyond imagining and in this episode…

Last episode we got into the nature of the sevenfold awakening I am advocating for Éire and by extension for the whole planet; essentially, activating human potential in certain vital aspects which have the beautiful potential to transform the world for the better, one person at a time, starting with oneself. Today I read through the ‘Principles of…

Gaelic Awakening is a new political party contesting the upcoming election in Ireland; but more importantly it is a cultural movement seeking and embodying the realisation of Irish potential in a sevenfold awakening: spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical, political, economic, and cultural. Curious about what this all means and whether you mi…

Today’s episode covers the big picture of what myself and Gaelic Awakening, my newly formed political party, seek to bring to Irish politics and society at large. In a nutshell, we need liberty – saoirse. The very thing our ancestors so long laboured and died for is just what is needed to reset our country and by example perhaps help reset Europe, …

I am running for elected office! Ireland is in crisis. Europe is in crisis. The West is in crisis. The Earth is in crisis. You might think we deserve this or that it doesn’t matter, but both are wrong – both are untrue and unjust to proclaim. The systems of liberty and limited government upon which you and I have depended for almost every joy we ha…

On one level there are many problems that confront us; some being life and death, torture and freedom. But ultimately there is only one problem: believing that problems exist. For in truth there is only the Now, including those things out of power to change (which the sane simply accept) and those things in our power to change – which the sane care…

When in doubt, assume you can do it – whatever it is. Happiness and success arise from having the wisdom to ask the question ‘Is this thing within my power?’ and if it is not, then to leave it be and fully accept – even embrace – it. Or if you decide you do indeed have control over the thing in question, then act and wield that power as wisely as y…

Being down to earth is heavenly high! Thankfully a big part of humility is being humble enough to accept that you’re not perfectly humble yet. These things take time, and you are not God! (So to speak.) In all aspects of life, from learning, to leadership, to true kindness, our ability to help ourselves and others depends so deeply upon how well we…

Negative energy is that which shrinks the potential of life for creativity, higher-order complexity, harmonious interconnectedness, and the experience of love, joy and being. Positive energy is that which uplifts, expands, grounds, nourishes and enlivens the living. But there is a time and place for negativity; sometimes it is healthy and even inev…

Companionship, affection, romance, sex; it can all come from casual connections. But a true long-term relationship offers all this and more: not only in spite of, but also because of the difficulties of adjusting one’s ego and habits to the ways of another wilful individual, living together inevitably means learning and growing together. Not only f…

Nihilists argue nothing really matters; there is no right and wrong, no meaning, no love. It is all a grand and pointless illusion, they say. But there are three problems with this. One, they don’t act like they believe it – for they get unhappy if you cause them pain. Two, the costs of nihilism greatly outweigh the benefits to oneself and the worl…

Culture is the beliefs and behaviours of a society. What do we think is true or false, and good or bad? How do we convert such thinking into action, habit, custom, etiquette? But one’s own personality is in essence an individual culture, while the family, community, town or city, country, continent and world constitute larger scale cultures. Each p…

Just as individuals in a circle of friends help one another grow by supporting but daring to draw attention to blindspots, cultures at large (families, creeds, cities, countries, regions) too can strike this joyful and enriching balance of being inspired by friends and inspiring in turn, each offering and accepting the gifts of our unique angle on …

Words run the world; they are a powerful agent of change equally able to uplift to the good or pull down to the bad. We can use words wisely to alter our perspective, emotion, habits. But if we are not careful the words we use use us, blindfolding the soul in their concepts and causing us harm. This episode goes into how one can use words as “magic…

“The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy.” Quite. This quote sums up the problem when a system of offices and officers are allowed to rule over society on taxpayer funding, making rules and restriction, providing goods and services, yet never having to face the disciplining justice of liberty via the free market.…

Tragedy upon tragedy. A brutal stabbing of children today has sparked a massive riot in the city of Dublin, with police being attacked, vehicles burned and shops looted. While the core of this violence and criminality is surely hooliganism and young impoverished people looking for some mayhem and an enemy they can enjoy fighting, equally we would b…

Here cometh a few things exemplifying the pendulumic nature of existence and progress. Ambition, religion, sexuality, gender, kindness, independence, truth – all serve to suggest this pattern. Just like a pendulum swinging from side to side, gradually finding centre, we humans tend to go too far this way and then too far the other way, then (if we …

The biggest crimes by far have always been by governments. Throughout history everywhere and still now in the present moment of our time on Earth, the terrible crimes of dark and unhinged individuals pale in comparison with the atrocities committed by governments equally against their own people as well as against those of other countries. Yet gove…

While we can and must agree on certain standards for human behaviour, I feel it is often overlooked how one’s context affects the question of virtue and moral excellence. If you are born into the mafia but do your best to err on the side of kindness within your world, then you seem to be showing greater moral effort than one who is born into a fami…

The imagination is there to be used and this episode invites us to conjure up a host of cool characters of our own choice and design who might inspire and influence us to be better livers of life.

Javier Milei is predicted to win Argentina’s presidential election on October 22nd, and after checking him out I am very impressed with his presence and his principles.

Life and you and me and even perfection aren’t perfect – but that’s perfect! It’s all perfectly imperfect, the best it can be given that it is what it is.

This episode invites us to consider radical possibilities about what might actually be true. It presents several important yet controversial (and to some, far-fetched) ideas about the world which I invite you to reflect on and investigate with a sceptical but open mind. Some I know to be true, others I think are probably true, and still others migh…

You know the feeling. (Or I guess so.) You don’t know where to go in life; be it the day or the year or from here to the grave. Maybe you don’t even know why or if you really want to do anything at all; can’t find the will to care enough to be logical and proactive. Never fear! Episode 70 is coming to the rescue – or I should say your own curiosity…

Sex is essential, blissful, exciting, terrifying, dangerous, healing, downdragging or uplifting depending on the way one approaches it and embodies their sexuality, their sexual being. Much more than mere pleasure, or radical freedom of expression, sexuality touches upon deep issues of social cohesion and even civilisational survival, and so must b…

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is a man of virtue and integrity who I hope to be the next president of the United States of America.

Beauty is far deeper than the way a person, object or natural scene meets the eye; at its most heartfelt and profound, it is something like the soul of God, the feeling that takes your breath away when a film takes a perfectly unexpectedly inevitable bend of joy, when the balance and harmony of existence is revealed as reassuringly, undeniably mean…

Ah the Devil. Always messin’ out there on the fringes of the mind, of society, of belief.

Some things are easier to do than others; but all things are easier when seen as easy. So long as one is actually doing one’s best to prepare for and perform one’s work in this life, our chances of getting good results are only improved by telling ourselves that, yes, we can do whatever needs to be done. By avoiding unnecessary anxiety, doubt and h…

Today we look in-depth at why we should use cash as much as possible and not consent to the increasingly bold (if subtle and plausible-deniability camouflaged) suggestions by governments and big business to remove cash freedom from the people. In short, the benefits of removing cash are minor and yet the harms of doing so are enormous, and potentia…

All beings deserve to be treated with love, but above all this means not lying to each other; instead we must tell the truth as we see it, so that our fellow soul can thrive free from illusion. Sometimes we may disagree, but so long as one is not directly hurting another, one must be free to express and experience their life as they wish. True dive…

These days it’s all too often said that the individual citizen must defer to ‘the experts’; even on matters very intimate and pressing for oneself but for which one lacks ‘formal’ training. Yet nothing in life can be understood separate from its context (sorry, Reductionism!) and frequently the right answer to a question demands multiple lenses of …

No one wants to be smeared and vilified as a ‘conspiracy theorist’ but is it more dangerous to assume that everything is fine on Planet Earth when red flags wave like innocent blood?
