Episode 140: Serving & Seeing Through The World
Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue
There's a paradox: it seems undeniable that we must help love overcome ignorance, aggression, exploitation and evil – but it also seems to many of us undeniable that ultimately all is well in the universe and inner peace is the only sane response and worthy aim for the individual seeking to be helpful. I discuss why each is a valid perspective, containing half the truth, and how I feel together they can be reconciled so we get the full picture, the balance. Audio: (And the usual places.)

Episode 139: Do Your Thing
Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue
Welcome back to the podcast, dear friends. After a well-needed break, we are back to the magical portal of intersoul communion via virtual rendezvous. This one is about something very simple and very powerful: Do your thing. Remember that we'll all be dead one day and you want to be able to say you lived on your own terms, that you shone your true colours whether or not others gave you the Van Gogh treatment, and that you offered others your own angle on existence – just by being yourself and doing what comes naturally. There are so many small ways we can do our thing, which will make us so...

Episode 128: Bridging The Gap With An Open Heart
Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue
Sometimes when I tell people about my core three policies – free speech, fair borders, full sovereignty – I feel just a little self-conscious, because I know many people hearing them will automatically jump to the suspicion of racism, anti-immigrant ideology and hatred. None of these are nice things at all! Hence the tension. And yet these 3 Fs are the true point of balance that all societies require in order to flourish in justice, kindness, love and peace. The truth is that being genuinely open-minded often involves things that seem ignorant or dangerous suddenly revealing themselves to...

Episode 127: Ireland! Register To Vote By Midnight!
Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue
To my dear fellow Irish, you have until midnight tonight (11:59pm Tuesday 12th November) to register to vote in the upcoming and EXTREMELY important general election. The state has in the last 5 years trampled all traditions and respect for civil liberties, democracy, the well-being and aspirations of the Irish nation, and our right to sovereign self-governance. It seems there is no bad idea they haven’t already tried to force on us or at least have flirted with, so it behoves us to do our job as free humans and vote them out of power. We needn’t get distracted by whether their insane...

Episode 126: Why Democrats Are Voting Trump
Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue
Why are Democrat and Dem-leaning voters choosing Donald Trump in massive numbers? Because Kamala Harris is clearly a puppet of ruthless corporations, intelligence agencies and corrupt bureaucracies which seek profit even at the cost of human liberty and dignity. Meanwhile Trump is more mysterious, now seeming to have learnt his lessons and truly seeking to do right by America and by the world, a force for peace, freedom and justice for all peoples. Yes, it is possible that this too is an act and in fact Trump will ultimately serve the globalist elites, but we don’t know this for sure, and my...

Episode 123: Pro Immigrant, Anti Immigration
Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue
I love people and find beauty in every culture of the world. The vast majority of people are cool, kind, honest and interesting; it’s just the crazy minority which stir up all the trouble. However, that doesn’t mean I want every person in the world to come live in my house, nor to come live in my country. That would be ridiculous. You can have too much of a good thing, and immigration is only good in certain times and places, with local consent. Ireland has an endangered (by colonialism) native language, young people fleeing due to a brutal housing crisis and inflation (money-printing)...

Episode 122: Conformism In Irish Politics
Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue
The ‘woke’ in Ireland who call anyone wanting to limit immigration ‘far-right’ and ‘racist’, waving rainbow flags as if afraid we’ll forget they exist, always talking about ‘trans rights’, climate change and protecting the vulnerable from ‘hate speech’ – ironically, these people would in most cases have been Nazis in Nazi Germany, dogmatists in Catholic Ireland, and fundamentalist supporters of the Taliban if they had been raised in Afghanistan. Because the majority of these people, I believe, hold their views not from independent thinking but from conformism, from...

Episode 121: Do The Irish Government Ever Question Themselves?
Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue
I doubt it. Or if some of them do, they dishonestly hide it – which might be even worse. But we simply cannot trust any person who pretends to know everything and to always be right. That is the perspective of someone who will be blind to incoming information that could uplift and expand, clarify their models of reality. Ironically, the loudest and most confident people in Irish politics – overwhelmingly the Establishment parties in government and ‘opposition’ – are in fact those we should listen to least. While those who speak seldom and quietly, carefully, due to not being totally...
info_outlineAwakening is the single most important thing in your life. Truly! For it is to experience the mindblowing lucidity of pure awareness without thinking – which is actually who you are. It goes by many names, can be understood in many ways, and has formed the core of all major religions throughout history, but the essential point to understand is that human beings can ‘wake up’ to a wiser, more peaceful, loving, practically powerful and indeed very humorous sense of self existing hidden in all of us. Enlightenment is real, it is simple and it is easy – though overcoming the belief that it is difficult is indeed far from easy. In this episode we discuss the nature of the true (and false) self, practices for how you too can realise (or remember) your authentic deepest nature, and what this revelation might mean for the world ‘outside’ ourselves. I hope you (or I?) enjoy this one, as only you ever could.
