Description

NOTE: If you would like to watch this episode, you can find the video version here. It is just the conversation and nothing else.

This week’s anonymous call is with someone who’s actually a close friend of mine. We recorded together once before, but that was right when I decided to shift the podcast into anonymous calls. Because of that, the episode never aired. She was kind enough to come back and do it again, making this the first anonymous call where I know who I’m talking to.

From the start, our conversation swings between the personal and the cosmic. We talk about her grandmother’s heart-shaped signs, her fears about eternity, and the way infinity, time, and nothingness can make your head spin. Along the way we touch on space, science, and spirituality.

It’s an episode that balances humor, honesty, and a genuine curiosity about what lies beyond the life we know.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Book recommendations: The Tools and Coming Alive by Phil Stutz & Barry Michaels, Many Lives, Many Masters by Brian Weiss
• The “Pillars of Creation” and what the scale of the universe does to our sense of time
• Why the idea of eternity can feel just as terrifying as it is comforting
• Heart-shaped signs from her grandmother and how they continue to show up years later
• Don’s book recommended to me: Jesus and Buddha: The Parallel Sayings
• How conversations about death pull us between the intimate and the infinite
• Why dogs might be the cruelest reminder of mortality
• A spoiler for the 1997 movie Contact (you’ve had almost 30 years to not have it ruined)
