Episode transcript
Welcome to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast. This is a show about why people do the things they do. Now, it isn't quite obvious to anybody why they do the things that they do. It's not obvious to me. It's not obvious to you. We can come up with rationalizations about why we do the things we do, but it's not at all obvious what the answer to that question is. But I do believe that through conversation, usually one on one conversation, we can come to a mutual realization of a higher truth rather than the truth that our mind tells us is the truth. So this show is about this dialogue, a very, very ancient practice been going on for a very, very long time of coming together with another agent, another person who has this awareness and coming to the truth through mutual inquiry. Inquiry. There's a lot of different themes that I talk about in this show, but the show doesn't have a theme. There is no specific thing that we're getting to with this show. We're discovering the truth in process. And you as a listener can also play in this discovery, in this mutual discovery, because I don't think it's only in this one on one conversation we have, but it's also a global collective conversation as long as we have this intention to aim towards the truth. So if you do want to join this conversation, I'm on Twitter ewartalsopiii and you can just tweet out to me questions. You can tweet out to me things you don't like, things you do like about this episode. You can also send me DMs. My DMs are open and just join the conversation. I'm constantly asking questions on Twitter, so you can answer any of those questions as well. And if you do like this show, please find us on itunes, Spotify, Stitcher, any of the other major podcasting platforms and go ahead and subscribe. And if you're really feeling generous, go ahead and leave a review as well. So come join us on this discovery for truth. And it's fun. We can get to the really juicy parts of life as long as we don't have an agenda. Well, except for the agenda to find the truth. So welcome on this discovery of truth and come join the process.
