So excited to share this week’s sermon and music with you all. After a very long and cold winter, the weather is finally turning warm around here and it’s a glorious Sunday morning. No matter what is happening in your world, or in the world in general, there can be some joy in sitting in the sun and breathing deeply.
DLM # 151 Solar Cycles of Death & Rebirth 🌀🔥
It takes a lot of heart, man. That’s all I can say.
DLM # 149 Untitled Sermon
DLM # 131 The Affirmative Hero 👑
As always, keen discernment is a golden key that can unlock many doors.
DLM # 130 Hail The Victorious Dead 🍺🦋
Three supplementary items here: a photo of where I was sitting when I wrote today’s sermon, a photo of the Bohemian cemetery mentioned, and a video by Sadhguru explaining the way the mind is a reality-creation-factory we must train so we can consciously and consistently manifest peace, joy, and love.
Vyšehrad Cemetery
Nice place to sit and write!
DLM # 129 A Coronation Event 👑
A halo of light encircling a radiant object.
DLM # 128 Goddess Reclamation Projects 🌚
Here is a photo of Prague according to the tram system (notice the mandala-esque design), and a cool Gothic tower. Plus, this week’s wisdom and musical libations. Enjoy!
DLM # 124 Not Wasting Energy
Energy is precious, we need to save it for our loving attention to the holiness of life.
DLM # 123 What Is A Jungian Image?
What indeed?
DLM # 121 The Relgious Life
How can we rescue ourselves from indoctrinated ideas that limit our ability to be in direct communion with the divine?
DLM # 120 Growing Up Strong Like A tree
We’re often blown off course when we see the success and wealth of others and start to feel bad about ourselves. But for those seeking wisdom, the slow maturation process of a tree is a better image to emulate.
DLM # 119 The Psychology of The Pied Piper
We have to be careful what we covet. For every action, there is a reaction.
DLM # 118 Tom Brady, Archetype of Success
A little ditty on the kinds of psychological parameters that give rise to feelings of fulfillment and success in life. The word “success” has been hijacked by the greedy capitalist imagination but in my view, true success is about self-mastery.
****Also, the “Let’s f**cking go” sign-off on today’s sermon is referencing Tom Brady’s oft-repeated call to action.
A recycled music mix from the early days of my mixes, apologies, I’m juggling a lot right now but will have a new mix next week.
DLM # 116 The Sacred Ecstatic
This week’s verbal sermon is short but packs a serious punch. I had to listen to it myself several times, and each time I was transported. The music, too, is powerful and there are many gods and goddesses in there, inviting us to leave silliness behind and enter into true profundity. There is nothing like mythopoetic language and powerful music to transport us directly into connection with the divine.
DLM # 115 Personal v. Transpersonal
I have discovered recently that people other than those I have reached out to personally have discovered my sermons and have been listening to them every week, so, for those who are interested or have the need, I wanted to announce that I now offer mentoring services: https://luminositymentoring.com/
Enjoy the week and do your best to stay conscious. xo
DLM # 114 Dancing Past Our Defense Mechanisms
DLM # 113 Chaos and Creation
Beware the existential thumb!
DLM # 112 The Chains of Physis
The sermon is long so this part is short.
DLM # 110 Tussling With Demons
Whenever you need to go down into the depths of profundity and sustain a lengthy sojourn there, listen to E2E4.
Also, here is the website for a scholar, Dr. Bayo Akomolafe, about whom I speak in today’s sermon: https://www.emergencenetwork.org/
DLM # 109 The Parable Of Jesus
I explore the story of Jesus being nailed on a cross between two thieves this week.
And the music is a mix of some of my favorite songs from past mixes for a demo tape. I was planning on becoming a broadcaster at a radio station in northern California, but they wanted me to keep inserting inane little advertisements into my music every three seconds and I realized it wasn’t my thing.
I’m working on mixing music with sermons in a new podcast-style thing which is more in tune with my spiritual and creative obligations.
