Unconditional Love, Ego, and the Path Back to Peace
Episode 25
Thursday, 2 October, 2025
Send us a textLove is the most practical power in the world—and the hardest to fake. We dive straight into why loving God first is the key that unlocks self-love, tames ego, and steadies you when life tests your courage. From there, we move into the daily mechanics of faith: what evidence looks like in real life, how repentance clears karmic debt, and why knowing the difference between responsibility and duty can change the way you lead, forgive, and act.Then we pressure-test these ideas against the modern world. Robots sprint, AI flips burgers, drones crowd the sky—so where does that leave human connection? We explore promising uses—disaster response, rescue, hazardous work—alongside the risks: lost jobs, hollow service, a cloud that could lock up when you need it most. You’ll hear practical resilience advice—keep hard copies, hold some tangible value, diversify your dependence—as well as a reminder to treat tech as a tool, not a master.We travel further back to examine the echoes of Lemuria and Atlantis—peaceful cultures, kahuna wisdom, and the soul-level virtues that persist across time: humility, detachment, service. Finally, we reframe the Ten Commandments not as control but as a portrait of people aligned with the divine: “My people don’t” as identity, not coercion. It’s a throughline that connects ancient law, modern ethics, and your next brave choice.If this conversation stirred something in you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review. Tell us: where do you draw the line with tech, and what does loving God first change for you today?Support the show
