Episode 149: Mise Éire: My Musical Set
Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue
I played a solo set of my own original songs at the wonderful Mise Éire festival in Castlebar, Co. Mayo, Ireland this past weekend and am delighted to share it with you. There were many amazing musicians, speakers and artists present, so it was an honour to be part of it. Gach beannacht to all you attended, all who wanted to, and even those who wanted to shut it down! May the beauty of Irish culture shine true and bring all together. My poetry books are available now on Amazon: "Homecoming To A Foreign Land" https://amzn.eu/d/3bC29Lu and "Aye Am: Poems in Search of Spiritual Awakening"....

Episode 148: Mise Éire: My Talk On "Three Steps To Peace"
Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue
This is a talk I gave at the recent Mise Éire festival in Co. Mayo, where I presented the Three Steps To Peace, being my simple framework for how the Irish can ignite a cultural revival that will restore balance and sanity to our individual lives and society as a whole. Step 1 is Awareness, Step 2 is Communication, and Step 3 is Action. Awareness is the key; when a significant minority of the public are relatively wise and aware, only then do the truly gamechanging actions become available for us – and we will take action organically, spontaneously, in ways that right now we may not even be...

Episode 144: The Truth About Mise Éire Festival
Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue
A festival of Irish culture and wholesome community has been placed in jeopardy by extremists who have ironically labelled the festival goers and organisers as 'fascist' extremists lacking in 'inclusion' and 'throwing their weight around' even while they themselves use deception and intimidation to shut down free expression, thus threatening democracy and reducing diversity of perspective by aggressively pressuring all to conform. Is this compassion? Is this love? Is this enlightenment? Or is it hateful prejudiced narrow-minded thuggery, ultimately in the service of true fascism – forcing...

Episode 143: A Manual For Living
Rendezvous with Jamie McGlue
I lay out the core concepts of A Manual For Living, the amazing little book by Roman philosopher Epictetus; in particular the translation by Sharon Lebell. The main idea is that we must accept all that is out of our control, take full control of what is in our power, and determine which is which by that most vital of things: wisdom. Wisdom is the highest goal.

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.)
