Who Am I ?Who Am I ?[Ep.51] How Conditioned Are We ?How much of what you do, think and feel comes from intentional, free chosing? How much of your actions and decisions are pre-programmed? You are the product of your upbringing, culture and genetics. What is out of our control? What can we influence? How can we counteract our predestination?

How much are you able to understand or determine the consequences of your decisions? Are you in control of anything? Is free will an illusion? Can you do something to improve your thoughts, feelings and relationships with others? Steve and William discuss what these questions all come down to.

The road towards connectedness involves vulberability and weakness. But it leads to a very rewarding ability that includes deeper understanding of and union with humanity. Dr. K's interview with Ludwig treats heavy subjects around death. In order to "come up for air" and take a break from the seriousness, they tell a dick joke. https://www...2023-11-241h 06Who Am I ?Who Am I ?[Ep.48] Why Am I Ashamed?What secrets do you have? What facts about you must never become known to others? What happens in our childhood that implants beliefs in us that hide away for the rest of our life? Can we uncover them deliberately? Can we regain the emotional freedom and levity that playing children have? Steven and William discuss theses questions in an attempt to better understand where shame comes from and how to heal from it.

When we make a promise or sign a contract we intensify an understanding that is usually mutually beneficial, but we also agree to retribution in the case of non-fulfillment. Is such a formal arrangement better than the everyday trust we put in someone's word? Or is it a sign of a lack of trust? Steve and William discuss examples such as business deals and marriages.

Is something similar going on at a societal scale? Are we all susceptible to a slow and subtle mental manipulation through mainstream media and other influences? How can we become aware of such tricks? 1984 is a dystopian novel by George Orwell that is often cited in the context of social engineering: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four "Chain of Command"...2023-08-2153 minWho Am I ?Who Am I ?[Ep.45] Our Insane Search for SecurityFeelings of anxiety often come when some security in our life diminishes. Because we believe that our existence depends on that safety net, we fear that its loss will cause our life to end. Jiddu Krishnamurti has helped many audiences realise the falsehood of such beliefs. In this interview he explains step by step how such thoughts about our existence and its safety are the cause for our anxiety and that the only true security is to be found outside of the realm of thoughts and beliefs. Homepage: https://whoamipodcast.com2023-08-1239 minWho Am I ?Who Am I ?[Ep.44] Are you Living in your Head?Everyone overthinks, not only people diagnosed with OCD. We spend the majority of every day ruminating over the same old thoughts: worries about how we are viewed, about our possessions, and about any other thing or idea that makes up our artificial identity. Living in the past is another example of this, for example holding onto regrets or abuses. On the other hand, living in the future is when we imagine a negative scenario that will be unescapable. What is the solution to these counter-productive habits? It is freeing ourselves of the world of thought and time. 2023-08-0250 minWho Am I ?Who Am I ?[Ep.43] Do You Believe in Extra-Terrestrial Life?Neither William nor Steven have had first-hand experiences with alien life or technology. But it can be fun to speculate: What would it mean for humanity if an advanced race from a distant galaxy visited our planet? What technologies and spiritual insights would we be able to learn about from them? Would novel sources of virtually free energy unite us or lead to new reaons for war? The list of possible questions goes on and on.

If other people become disagreeable because you are learning to understand your self better, do you prefer to fit in and comply with societal norms or are you prepared to sacrifice those things for clarity about who you are and what the actual purpose of your life is? We are all under this spell to a smaller or larger degree. Breaking it is the concern of evey human being. This video by Daniel Mackler serves as the...2023-07-0150 minWho Am I ?Who Am I ?[Ep.41] A Painful Truth is Better than a Pleasant LieArisendead is a video game streamer on twitch.tv where he not only entertains his audience by playing Super Mario games, but also discusses many interesting topics. What stands out are his openness and honesty about his perspective on things going on in the world and his personal life. The many challenges and painful experiences in his life have taught him valuable lessons, including how to discern truth from lies by the media, health officials and governmental figures.

In that time they have developed mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Their inquiry into who they are has lead them on a path of friendship and a growing awareness. From psychology to spirituality, their discussions have evolved along with them and have been a great medium to express thoughts and inisghts that otherwise might have remained dormant.

Koji Okumura devoted many years to the necessary academic training including a Ph.D. in order to not only treat individuals, but also to lecture on the topic and to advise companies in the capacity of an industrial therapist.

Book #2] Can King Gillibrand finally unite the Dwarf Clans?After 3 failed attempts we are fulfilling our mission: to collect the handle and head of the famed dwarf hammer that will unite the warring clans under King Gillibrand.

But in a sense everyone wears a mask and acts out a charade. This can be done deliberately, but most of the time is quite subconscious and involuntary. What are the purposes of putting on an invisibile mask? What would life be like without them? And how many layers of masks does a person actually wear?

It has solidified the already pervasive habit of intellectualising the human experience. By applying mental concepts to our surroundings, our identity and our mind, we severely limit and even distort our perception thereof. Clip "Tradition" from the musical movie "Fiddler on the Roof" (1971).

Acceptance, on the other hand, is deliberately allowing things within and around you to be the way they are. It is the absence of expectations and intellectual concepts. With this absence the subconscious, and nature in general, can flow freely, heal itself and you can be more passionate about your interests than before.

Schwartz and Rebecca Gladding ...2023-04-1950 minWho Am I ?Who Am I ?[Ep.35] Why Anger?!You cannot be angry at someone without first being angry at yourself. What exactly is the process that happens automatically, subconsciously and with lightning speed which is triggered by something not going the way we wanted or expected? Steve and William share their current understanding of this topic and how they have dealt with it in their own lives.

Self confidence comes about naturally by resolving inner conflicts and allowing any outer conditions to transpire. Trying to change your circumstances without first working on your inner world is futile and only leads to people living a charade. By becoming conscious of our inner processes we come to find a treasure trove inside of us which then enables us to easily and peacefully interact with the outside world.

The underlying traumatic experience in the past has been suppressed so that every-day life can continue in a more or less normal way. There are indications of a society-wide trauma complex that causes the majority of us to remain subdued and obedient to authoritarianism our entire lives. But it is so subtle and unconscious that we have become blind and acquiescent to ongoing oppression. Who will discover this hidden snare in their psyche and consciously step out of it?

And how much of your every-day life is run by subconscious programs? From day one we are influenced by the actions and inactions of people around us. They inadvertently, and sometimes deliberately, shape our perspective and thereby our reasoning and decision-making. Can we rise to a level of consciousness that allows us to view these subliminal messages from the outside without being invested in them? Or are we doomed to repeat the cycle and unwittingly pass them on to the next generation? Homepage: https://whoamipodcast...2023-02-0648 minWho Am I ?Who Am I ?[Ep.31] Learning to differentiate thoughts, emotions and sensationsWe have thousands of thoughts and feelings each and every day. How many of them are we aware of? How many of them remain subconscious and unnoticed? Are you content with the thought patterns installed in your subconscious and the resulting emotions? Do they work in your favour and motivate your to take productive actions and experience pleasant sensations? Or do you feel like the victim of your own brain without the necessary control to freely make your own decisions? Learning to identify and distinguish these inner workings is an important step to this end. Homepage: https...2022-06-2354 minWho Am I ?Who Am I ?[Ep.30] Choose your own Purpose in LifeAre you free to create your own path in life? Or are you following a script? Everyone is in both situations to one degree or another. The more we choose to drop beliefs about who we SHOULD be and what we SHOULD be doing with our time and energy, though, the more we are free to choose our own values, goals and methods of achieving them. This process is one way of filling our life and those of others with purpose and meaning.

Would you be blinded by rage, seeking nothing less than brutal vengeance? Or would you be able to distance yourself from that terrible experience and be content with the judicial process taking its course? Could you ever forgive the perpetrator? Or would his cruel act leave a vexing mark on your soul forever?

What is it about our psychological make-up that makes us susceptible to such assertions, be they be politicians, journalists or doctors, even if such figures have proven to be untrustworthy multiple times before?

William and Steve talk about their experiences and compare their views. It is important to become educated on this topic so as to avoid and confront marginalisation and persecution. Humanity is slowly opening up to integrating world views that make room for non-heterosexual persons. But there is still plenty of room for improvement and learning how such aspects of sexuality make up our individual and societal identity.

Unite!Today Steven and William discuss their views on the political division into the left and right wings. They argue that this differentiation is unnecessary and artificial, as both groups have much to offer, but to solve different problems. This insight underlines how they should complement each other, rather than get at each other's throats. “I don’t care who does the electing, as long as I get to do the nominating.” - Boss Tweed is quoted in Larry Lessig’s TED talk “Our democracy no longer represents the people.

We approach these topics in the context of humanity's vulnerability to deception. People's beliefs and behaviours can be manipulated by messages of false history, false news-reporting, false scientific publishing, etc. Through various historic examples and personal experiences we reason about ways to rise above the lies and perceive the world in its true form.
