  • 156. Faith, Spirit, and Humanity: A Visual Reflection on World Beliefs
    Jan 22 2026
    Across the world, human beings have created countless spiritual and religious traditions — each shaped by culture, land, history, and lived experience. This short visual reflection offers a gentle overview of several of those traditions, including Aboriginal, African, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Islamic, Jewish, Native American, and Shinto perspectives. It is not meant to explain everything, nor could it. There are many traditions not shown here, and they are equally meaningful and worthy of respect. At their core, these paths share something simple and powerful: reverence for life, belief in something greater than the individual self, and a call toward kindness, responsibility, and care for one another. In a time marked by division and violence, this video is an invitation to pause — to remember that behind every belief system is a human being seeking meaning, connection, and a good life. You don’t have to agree with every tradition. You don’t have to follow any particular path. But if we practiced the goodness these traditions teach — compassion, humility, respect, and love — the world would feel very different. And so would our lives. This video is offered simply as food for thought, reflection, and shared humanity. #SharedHumanity #WorldReligions #SpiritualWisdom #UnityInDiversity #FaithInHumanity

  • 153. Where the word Zen came from
    Jan 5 2026
    The word “Zen” gets used everywhere — usually incorrectly. In this video, I explain what the word Zen actually means, where it comes from, and what it was originally pointing toward. This isn’t academic history — it’s practical clarity so you don’t get lost in labels or spiritual hype. Zen isn’t a vibe. It’s not a mood. And it’s definitely not about pretending everything is calm. It’s about direct experience, awareness, and living awake in ordinary life. If you want Zen explained without fluff, this is for you. Explore more teachings and simple training at

  • 152. What is zen quick overview
    Jan 4 2026
    Zen is often misunderstood, overcomplicated, or romanticized. In this episode, I offer a clear, grounded introduction to Zen for beginners — what it actually is, where it comes from, and why it’s still relevant for modern life. This isn’t about belief systems or chasing enlightenment as an idea. It’s about experience, simplicity, and learning how to be fully present in your own life. This episode sets the foundation for how I teach Zen: practical, embodied, and accessible for regular people who want clarity, calm, and depth without dogma.

  • 151. Choosing Love Instead of Fear
    Sep 23 2025
    Loving starts with the self. The REAL Self. Who you really are. Though we can cloud ourselves from receiving our divine love when we choose fear, we can always choose again to bring love into our lives. Notice each day or each moment whether you are choosing to live in fear or love. Just watch that.
