Today, Peter Goodman joins us for a conversation with Brian Lottman, a self-described wandering monk. Brian shares his personal experience deciding in 2012 to wander and search for the soul. Brian speaks of letting go of everything he once committed to, and how his focus on spreading spiritual energy for the past 10 years has influenced his life. He addresses his disciplined practices of breathing, meditation, and recitation of mantras. He suggests that everything is pure consciousness. The exploration touches on Christ Consciousness, God, and the distinctions between "doing" and "being". He gives attention to some of the parallels and differences between religions that seem to share common intentions of spirituality.
Brian Lottman www.stirtheheart.com www.facebook.com/satsangwithbrianlottman www.youtube.com/@brianlottman Lisa Lucca talks with author, speaker, and podcaster, Stephanie Raffelock about reimagining aging, creative eldering, writing, and the magic of our Third Act. Stuart Kelter interviews Coleman Hughes, a writer, podcaster, and musician, focusing on race, public policy, and applied ethics. At the age of 28, he is already becoming a well-known commentator and critic on issues related to race-based policies. He was a fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research and a fellow and contributing editor at their City Journal. He is also the host of the podcast, Conversations with Coleman. In 2019, he testified before a U.S. House Judiciary subcommittee at a hearing on reparations for slavery, arguing against the campaign. In 2023, he delivered a talk at the annual TED conference, in Vancouver, Canada, advocating a societal goal of color blindness, i.e., treating people without regard to race, both personally and in public policy. Internal opposition from TED prevented the internet posting of this talk, which was eventually released after Hughes agreed to its being paired with a debate between him and New York Times columnist James Bouie. In addition to writing columns for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and other publications, Hughes is the author of the recently published book, The End of Race Politics: Arguments for a Colorblind America, which is the subject of today’s interview.
Most Americans think we have the right to attend public meetings and let our elected officials know what we think about how they’re doing.
There is no such right in New Mexico. Our open meetings law requires that accommodations be made for the public to attend and listen to meetings of the City Council, County Commission and other government boards and commissions. But, there’s nothing that says we have the right to speak at those meetings. Peter and Walt discuss with Police Chief Jeremy Story and affected citizens, the current problems in downtown Las Cruces including the killing of LCPD Officer Jonah Hernandez, rampant trespassing, threats, and even violence, how the City and the Police Department are responding, and perhaps various misconceptions about all this.
Guests include: Jeremy Story, Michael Fraembs, Vic Villalobos, Dr. Kyle Schumacher (by phone), James Chavez Floyd, and Patricia Jimenez. |
