WHOSOEVER KNOWS ALL the answers has little of resonance to say.
Whosoever seeks to understand has ever plenty to explore.
SOME THINGS that need to be said, that need to be heard, are not easy to say because they are difficult for some to hear.
Inspired by the Zani Philosophy as narrated to Towa in "Seven Wisdoms: the legend of the lotus" (ISBN 978-1-84799-606-0),THANK YOU kindly for visiting. Leave a comment. Tell a friend. Do come again.

Are You Out Of Your Mind?
Are you out of your mind? Do you feel overwhelmed by events around you, by the inconveniently (unless you are a corporate employer) shrinking labour market, by the threatening income insecurity prognosis that crowd the infowaves? Do you realise how little it takes to recharge your energy levels? Are you... out of your mind?
Bloody Hell!
Don't fuss about my cussing here because this time I don't give a damn - if anyone is more offended by my colourful choice of words than by the subject matter here, then I really don't give a hoot about their opinion. Here's what I mean...!
Economic Boneheads and the Goose that Lays the Golden Eggs (revisited)
A financial system designed by politicians, dominated by their benefactors, raining the corrosive debris of its inevitable implosion on ordinary citizens.
The solution: let the same politicians and their over-compensated benefactors fix it? Their way?
Really?
Hard On Yourself?
It is not only politicians who take themselves way too seriously. Personal relationships, social status, racial orientation, gender perspectives, national pride, international relations, and corporate identity can be too often like concrete.
This discussion shares an enlightening perspective for your reflection and discussion.

The Most Important person You Know Is Afraid Of You!
Do you know who it is? Do you know why?
The Wealthy Poor
There are more chronically poor people in Western Europe and North America than there is in S.E. Asia, Africa, Middle East, or Central and South America.
Arrogance of Success
This discussion could be mischaracterized as a 'toast to arrogance'. Rather, it provides simple strategies to help decipher the razor-thin line between empowered self-confidence and self-defeating arrogance.
I Hope This Ain't About You
I do hope that this podcast is not about you. But if it is, what are you going to do about it?
Faith
It's not what most think it is - or is it?

Tell Me A Lie We Can Agree Upon
Is it that people like to tell lies? Or rather, that people prefer to hear convenient untruths and thereby encourage the telling of lies?
Don't Say It In Public
Speak word to truth freely - just don't say it in public. The preference is to keep the social realities hidden, to fester, un-aired in the healing filter of mature public discussion.
In the name of political correctness, in the name of tolerance and respect of one another, there is a growing list of things one cannot, dare not, must not say in public.
Your Silence Speaks Volumes
When the silence begins to quieten.

Immigrant's Lament
What you fear out of ignorance will destroy what you love in greed.
They say most minds are like concrete, all mixed up and permanently set. But minds function best when, like the universe, they are open.
This podcast is about the conversation that should not be, or should (as shared at the 12th Karlsruhe Gespräche (visit http://www.zak.uni-karlsruhe.de/ for more on these discussion series).

A More Prosperous You
Introduction to a deeper awareness, a clearer consciousness for your power and prosperity.
Hungry Anyone?
I am sure some of you will be offended by this particular podcast, and some of you will feel guilty at participating in it. Others will even get angry. But I promise to not let any of that get in our way.
I know that there are some topics that are better left untouched, not because they are not worthy of discussion, but because of the vogue convenience of avoiding or glossing over them.
Hungry, anyone?
Borders
Borders: what kinds of people build borders - borders of the mind, borders of the soul, borders of land and possession. Borders - build them, if you must, in wise-sight rather than from complexes of inferiority.
