If you’re responding to the early hours after a collapse, your approach is more immediate life threats such as hemorrhage management or opening and maintaining an airway.
Many hours or even days later, rescuers are less likely to encounter survivors with active life threats and are more likely to...2025-02-2837 minDisaster PodcastDr. Joe Holley on Training and Recent EMS ConferencesDr. Joe Holley comes back after being off the show for a few months due to extensive travel for training and conference attendance.

The Ten Thousand ThingsJust One Thing - Jack KornfieldWhat we take to be a self is tentative, fictitious, constructed by clinging, a temporary identification with some parts of experience. Self arises, solidifying itself, like ice floating in water. Ice is actually made of the same substance as water. Identification and clinging harden the water into ice. In a similar way, we sense ourself as separate. Jack Kornfield - The Wise HeartThis realization that the separate self is an illusion must be one of the most useful things I've ever learned. I spent most of my life assuming that I was a separate self-contained unit and I...2024-05-2503 min
The Ten Thousand ThingsJust One Thing - Eckhart TolleThe root of this physical urge is a spiritual one. The longing for an end to duality, a return to the state of wholeness. Sexual union is the closest you can get to this state on the physical level. This is why it is the most deeply satisfying experience the physical realm can offer. But sexual union is no more than a fleeting glimpse of wholeness, an instant of bliss. As long as it is unconsciously sought as a means of salvation, you are seeking the end of duality. On the level of form where it cannot be found...2024-05-2505 min

And then what happens?”Transcript:That's Joseph Campbell from an interview he did. I won’t pretend to be an expert on what the anima is but I took note of this because it resonated with me.
