We’re back with another AMA for this liminal, reflective space between Christmas and the New Year — a time when big questions tend to surface. In this episode, Alyson and I respond to a wide range of listener-submitted questions that span the deeply practical, the philosophical, and the cosmic.
We start with a sweeping question about what the next 50 years may hold for humanity, exploring themes like consciousness evolution, polarity, technology, AI, sovereignty, and whether progress is actually accelerating — or fragmenting us further. That conversation opens into reflections on free will, self-governance, spiritual maturity, and how discernment becomes essential in an increasingly noisy world.
From there, we shift gears into more specific listener curiosities, including how I’ve experimented with tools like NuCalm, meditation stacking, and sound frequencies — and what to be mindful of when working with altered states or nervous system regulation. We also unpack questions around longevity, quality of life versus lifespan, and why equanimity may be one of the most underrated spiritual skills of our time.
As always, the AMA format invites real-time exploration, tangents, humor, and unexpected insights — from road rage and nervous system dysregulation to regenerative agriculture, ethical food choices, and how small daily decisions reflect much larger spiritual principles.
Thank you to everyone who submitted questions. These episodes are shaped by your curiosity, your honesty, and your willingness to ask what’s real. Keep them coming — we’re listening.
