• Episode 88: Scrambled Eggs: Space, Time, and the Brain
    Dec 25 2024


    Join Amanda and Alex for another egg scrambler! This one looks at the source of information we get- that being the brain and how we can get really curious about it’s veracity. What does it mean to discover that reality as you see it is also not as it really is? What’s the practical value of this discovery? Inspired by the writing of the late Howard Chance, we dive into some really fascinating rabbit holes including what it’s like to not have a secure source of information but rather a wonder-filled kaleidoscope of anything at all.

  • Episode 86: The Edges of Comparison
    Dec 11 2024


    Have you noticed how the function of comparison is on virtually all the time? Alex and Amanda explore this phenomenon of thought and look at how its functionality is brilliant, but when taken as a reality it can wreak havoc. Without comparison, what or who are you? What needs to change? What’s wrong? These questions seem absurd in the absence of the very insidious function of comparison. Can we find out what it’s like to see the function and not fall for the illusion that comparison holds any objective truth?

  • Episode 85: You Don’t Have a Body
    Dec 4 2024

    In this episode Alex and Amanda explore the idea that we are inside this body.


    Are we just haunting these meat bags with our personalities, quirks and habits?


    But how is our body different from our environment? Our lines and edges? The weather of emotions?

  • Episode 84: Worry is a Liminal Space
    Nov 27 2024


    Listen in as we explore the liminal spaces and how worry is just as much an experience of this in-between suspension as any other. How can we find rest and discovery here? Why does being in a liminal space feel so odd? Amanda and Alex also explore the phenomena of watching the self and its world be re-built out of the liminal space between sleep and waking- and how that awareness has huge implications on experiencing an everyday Wonder Land.

  • Episode 83: The Great Incomprehensible
    Nov 20 2024

    In this episode Alex and Amanda discuss the distance created by trying to explain and describe the world.

    To try to understand is in a way to minimize, to reduce down to the units which can be captured by our limited knowledge.


    The Great Incomprehensible is then our biggest joys and our biggest tragedies. Any attempt to put them into words - to reduce - seen as futile and unnecessary.



    One of the main functions of organized religion is to protect people against a direct experience of God.

    Carl Jung

  • Episode 82: The Paradox of Isolation
    Nov 13 2024

    What is this feeling of aloneness that seems to trail us? How can this seeming isolation be experienced when there is not-two? (no separate things, selves, etc.) Listen in as Amanda and Alex explore this strange phenomenon and look at how feeling alone and/or the longing to connect is actually a signal that we are believing our projection to be at a distance to us. Where can we find the Wonder Land here? It’s closer than we think.

  • Episode 81: Timeless Wonder
    Nov 6 2024

    “Oh no, my wonder is not "childlike." My whimsy is old. My frivolity is steeped in ancient wisdom.


    My silliness is battle worn. My awe at the world has been long forged through trial & tribulation.


    I have earned this wonderment. I have protected it for decades against a society that tells me constantly that it should not belong to me.


    I was born with wonder, and I have carried it, against all odds, with me through adulthood.


    It is not "childlike" by now it is Older than me.”
