MOD episodes have no shelf-life or expiration date. Since our focus is principled and always happening now - each will always reflect the moving fluid nature of current events.
Our inquisition continues and has been an open exploration of basic tenets often presented without rebuttal. It is clarifying to engage John's determination and is stimulating a greater awareness of this discussion's purpose and potential.
John Perretti is a prior pugilist, painter, and poet. He was a professor at the School of the Visual Arts in New York City, the co-creator of Extreme Fighting, and coined the term “Mixed Martial Arts.” He founded the gym Madison Avenue Muscle. He also holds multiple world records for Free Dive Spearfishing and a would-have-been world record for a black marlin that had a bite taken out of its stomach by a bull shark while John held tight. He continues to dedicate himself to the largely unexplored territory between the fine and the martial arts.
John is a very long-time friend with an even longer resume than anyone I've known or met. Our discussion continues to aim at the absolute nature of our existence and how our experience is constantly offering accurate awareness of what we are doing - no matter how much we protest or think we can fight.
Below is a link to John's autobiography: "The Origin of a Species and the Mixed Martial Arts" so filled with dramatic experiences normally only found in great literature.

We Know We Know.
We Are Aware We Are Aware.
We Are as We Are.
Reality is unlimited and never changes. The idea that how and what we think creates reality suggests otherwise. Acting on backward thoughts leads to behaviors that are out of order reflecting a reversal of our natural fortune that are accurately called disorders. Anxious, nervous and systemic disorders reflect this impossible attempt to reverse Nature’s Law and Order and our Universe's Essence. Dis-ease is the lack of ease created and maintained by such twisted mental acrobatics. Stress and Anxiety inhibit healing and compound and degrade health.
Mentality is a bodily function. Mental disease is a physcial ailment. For as long as it is misdiagnosed - any cure or treatment will perpetuate its contagion.
Principles affirm Our Indivisible nature. Sharing Principles confirms our natural indivisibility. Inspiration is natural while desperation, depression, degradation and acting oblivious to what is obvious is an unnatural choice to oppose reality which is impossible to accomplish though we are free to try.
Ignoring what is happening, acting as though it shouldn't be or isn't happening, produces the unintelligible gibberish of ignorance - not reality.
