Martin W Ball PhD is a writer, independent publisher, energy worker, visionary artist and musician currently living in Ashland, Oregon. Martin works as an Adjunct Professor teaching Religious Studies at Southern Oregon University in Ashland. Join me as I ask Martin:* What does it mean to be human?* What the ego is, how we can transcend our ego.* If we are all energy, how do we best be a part of this energy?* What does non-duality mean?* What are spirits, souls, the afterlife?* His ingredients for a great recipe for life. He'll share with us:* The true energetic nature of our beings, in one universal consciousness.* How fractals, mathematics and geometry come together as the basis of energy.* The only thing that exists is right now!* The more love and care I show for myself, the better my experience of being is going to become.* Cultivating self-knowledge allows you to have an authentic experience in the present moment. There were so many amazing thoughts shared in this episode! I particularly loved:"To be human is to be God in a body that experiences itself as a human being, but ultimately is so much more than just that individual human being.""It's this wonderful paradox of being that you're infinite and eternal, but this is your one life so, damn, better make the most of it right now because that's all you've got!""Everything that you do to every object and every other person and everything else that exists in reality, you are only doing that to yourself."
