Removing the Rose-Colored Glasses: The Dangers of Social Alienation

I wonder sometimes if young people today admit to naivete. It seems very uncool to be innocent these days. Kurt Cobain maybe summed it up best when he said he was always busy acting like he wasn't naive. Like he'd seen it all, like he was there first. I think that speaks for a generation.

A Study of the Divine

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

Another Christmas season is upon us, and with it the annual debate in the hearts of the pensive: how to tap into the true spirit of the time and not just get caught up in the shopping and seasonal festivities? This latter position firmly in the lead judging by the mad scramble for mall parking

Working for Ourselves

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

"Get a job!" was a common insult hurled at the hippies back when I was a kid. I remember a few of them homesteading in the woods off the dirt road to my favourite swimming hole on Vancouver Island. I remember the homegrown vegetable gardens and the hastily assembled log cabins and the pungent odour

Occupy the Media

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

There was a recent Occupy placard held aloft by a protester that caught my eye: "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" it said. And I thought, that's captured one of the key problems in our world today. There is so much corporate ownership of the media that it seems pretty inevitable that they would be

The Wisdom Inside Us

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

One of the things that gives me solace when looking at all the really horrible manipulation and cruelty of our modern day society is that the perpetrators of these evil deeds will have their comeuppance. How all that works is the subject of our show today. Through near death experiences, everyday guilt feelings and spiritual

Standing Up for Truth

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

One of the most relevant themes we're focused on here in Brazil these days is the exploding movement for freedom reverberating around the world. Martin Luther King stated that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Isn't it this demand that is echoing through all these diverse

Liberation from Socio-Economic Power

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

As I watch the gathering force of the #Occupy and Liberation of the People movements worldwide, I've been considering the impact of power in human life. Lincold talked about how you could test a man's character by giving him power, and we can all use that to slag the visible power brokers that stalk the

Pathway to a New Society

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

We have some essential consciousness on our program today about what's necessary to create a true society. Something idealists have strived to create for centuries, with little success. Orwell was rather skeptical about the human creature. "No advance in wealth, no softening of manners, no reform or revolution has ever brought human equality a millimeter
