Episode 148: Mise Éire: My Talk On "Three Steps To Peace"
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 able to imagine. A higher form of Step 2 is for artists; beyond merely sharing our questions and answers on the road of cultivating Awareness, the artist can use poetry, story, film, comedy, painting, cartoons, podcasting, journalism etc. to broadcast ideas to a wider audience and in a deeper way. Come on and join us! May we all take each day and each moment, the Three Steps, to see wisdom and harmony return to Ireland, and thereby help to do the same for the world.

Episode 144: The Truth About Mise Éire Festival
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 obedience to the will of a political establishment run by and for elite financial interests, cutting the throat of liberty and love – killing diversity of thought and inclusivity of belief – imprisoning democracy? Yes, the attendees of Mise Éire Festival may tend to agree on some things which extreme left-wingers don't agree with, but that is democracy! That is normal. No one's right to share culture and community should be at the mercy of cold-hearted fringe political groups such as those who petitioned for the cancellation of Mise Éire. And especially for Irish culture in Ireland! Happily, the festival is going ahead – relocated from Drumshanbo, Leitrim to a venue in Castlebar, Mayo – with yours truly among the artists and speakers. At the time of writing there are still tickets available. You are most welcome to come join the celebration of culture, community, and dear freedom!

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 142: Poetry Book "Aye Am" Out Now
I have just published my debut book of poetry, "Aye Am: Poems in Search of Spiritual Awakening". In this episode I read 7 of the poems as a taster, and if you enjoy them you are warmly welcomed to head to Amazon and purchase your own paperback copy of the book. https://amzn.eu/d/2qgeKEw Also, for those in Ireland, this Friday July 4th there will be a music and poetry evening at Saint Columbanus Hall in Howth, at which I'll be reciting poetry and my brother Mark will be performing music, among other poets and musicians – come join us if you're free! The craic will be mighty and for €10 entry your soul will be cleansed with cascades of culture. This book is a long time coming, as I've been writing poetry non-stop since I was fifteen and have always wished to share it in hopes of uplifting others as poetry always uplifts me. This volume is focused on spirituality – i.e. waking up from the trance of constant self-talk, the thinking that so often tortures us, and to connect to one's true self: pure consciousness, the silent presence of spirit. There is great beauty in these poems but also great potential for helping the reader to awaken to higher clarity of mind, to rise above limiting emotions and enjoy freedom and inner peace. I hope you enjoy, let me know what you think of it!

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.)

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 much happier and more alive. And when we all do it, within the laws of love, then it also happens to bring something like world peace. So enjoy! Audio: Or anywhere in podcastland.

Episode 128: Bridging The Gap With An Open Heart
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 actually be the very opposite. Of course, this is not always the case, and sometimes the thing in question really is objectively negative. But we must always strive to keep an open mind and an open heart, to hear people out and let their views merge with and dance with our own, to see if there is anything new to learn. The present video is directed to those who may feel my positions seem a bit uncomfortable as if secretly hiding some nefarious far-right xenophobia – I hope that by the end of the 15 minutes you will see my point of view and agree that there really are fair points to be made on both sides of these very divisive political issues of speech, immigration and sovereignty, and I hope beyond winning your support I will also have kindled a brighter awareness of the beauty of facing our triggers and potential blind spots, in giving other views a chance. We are all branches on the one tree of Life, and I love every human and every nation; even if above all I love my own family and my own nation. This is natural :) But let us honour the diversity of genes around the world, and the diversity of thoughts, beliefs and feelings.

Episode 127: Ireland! Register To Vote By Midnight!
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 policies have been motivated by ignorance, corruption, or some mixture of the two – the fact is we’ve been out of balance and this has been a wake-up call for the nation, to rise up to clear consciousness and courage, or fail. Registering to vote is quick and easy and allows you to push back a little bit (potentially a very HUGE push, if enough of us do it) against your fellow citizens who have felt they had the right to force terrible punishing policies on you and me, without consent or empathy. Please: go to (if you are in Dublin) or (for the rest of the country) and register to vote. Then, on Friday 29th, give a vote to all the independents and nationalists who stand by FFF (see ) and not a single vote to anyone who doesn’t care to respect Free Speech, Fair Borders, Full Sovereignty. The time is now. Let’s show ourselves, our ‘representatives’, and the world we are alive! VOTE JAMIE MCGLUE #1 I am standing as an independent in the 2024 Irish general election for Dublin Bay North.

Episode 126: Why Democrats Are Voting Trump
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 intuition is Trump is for Love. So I would encourage every American to vote Trump, as this gives Light a fighting chance. VOTE JAMIE MCGLUE #1 I am standing as an independent in the 2024 Irish general election for Dublin Bay North.

Episode 123: Pro Immigrant, Anti Immigration
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) crisis, and a unique and world-famous culture of hospitality, humour and humility which is being eroded by mass influx of other cultures. Who really wants the whole world to look and live the same? Is that ‘diversity’? Yet so many in the status quo pushing and profiting off mass immigration demonise any who express a democratic difference of opinion as ‘racist’ or ‘far-right’. In truth, one can be pro-immigrant yet anti-immigration. I am! Perhaps in the future immigration to Ireland will be beneficial, but at present it is clearly very damaging; and we can say that with full love and respect to every individual and every foreign culture. We need to shake off the brainwashing and shackles of fear and self-censorship and start talking about the obvious. No culture in the world would want to be flooded by other cultures like Ireland is being. We must end illegal entry, deport any who have broken the law, and legal immigration should be paused or reduced. There will be room for exceptions, but if this beautiful island is to remain ‘Ireland’ in the true sense, it’s imperative that the Irish come first. It’s only fair!

Episode 122: Conformism In Irish Politics
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 directly accepting the opinions and claims of others. Sometimes it is from fear (of ostracisation, career-damage, social awkwardness, etc.) but more often it is probably from laziness, simply assuming that the people in government and media must know what’s true, otherwise they would be at a march in Coolock. Either way, these people have shown repeatedly in just the last few years their utter malleability, shifting opinions at the drop of a hat as soon as RTE or BBC say it’s now OK and true. So what would keep them in Hitler’s Germany from falling into the trap of that ideology? Or in any other case of dark culture? Tragically, the people most loudly professing their opposition to racism, sexism, prejudice and ruthless power in general, are the very ones falling for it yet again. But let us hope that pointing things like this out might wake them to join love’s true side.

Episode 121: Do The Irish Government Ever Question Themselves?
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 sure if they are correct – these are the people most likely to make the necessary adjustments with evidence, logic and experience to have an accurate mental map of reality in terms of what is real and what we should do about it. Yet these people are often cowed and impressed by the confidence of the arrogant and never-self-questioning. Ireland must find a balance between questioning ourselves and ALWAYS keeping an open mind to the possibility that we are mistaken about even things very fundamental and dear to us – and yet on the other hand also committing ourselves to standing on our instincts, to say that for now this is what I’m believing and until further notice I will argue for it without fear. A key transformation in this landscape could be if enough people realise the government are always certain they’re right – they NEVER say ‘maybe’ or ‘I don’t know’ or ‘Our opponents might be right’ – and so they thus disqualify themselves from being taken too seriously. If the middle-ground of Irish voters can realise their self-questioning and uncertainty is a sign that they can be trusted better than the Establishment about what’s what, sanity rises.

Here are a dozen questions I would LOVE to hear Irish politicians asked. Alas it seems one of the requirements of being among those who get to ask the questions is that you don’t go too close to the core things we need to just say plainly in the faces of those so out of whack. If we can ask these simple but hilariously outrageous questions to our ‘representatives’ so busy running the country into the ground, I think it will do us all a world of good. Will we?

Episode 11: Surrendering The War On Drugs
09/04/2024
Episode 11: Surrendering The War On Drugs
Do you do drugs? Don’t answer that! I’ll respect your privacy. And which drugs anyway? Alcohol? Caffeine? Sugar? These all affect the mind enough to be properly called drugs – but they are the drugs modern industrial civilisation endorses, because they amplify its values of productivity, orderliness, political centralisation, cultural conformity and materialism. Other cultures in space and time have chosen different mind-altering substances as their own chemical allies in the pursuit of civilisational purpose, and give them nicer names, like ‘medicine’ or ‘magic potion’. The chief argument of this episode is that if you are not hurting anybody else, then you have the absolute right to put whatever substance you want into your body, free from persecution. Especially since many ‘drugs’ allow one to explore one’s own consciousness and sense of self; and if we can’t have such a freedom, then what freedom do we have at all? So let’s look at the case for why ALL drugs (or at least most) should be legalised and regulated; even those with a greater potential to cause us harm. We must see drug use in perspective as a fundamental human activity that can be good or bad depending on context and intention, and which like all things must be dealt with by education and consciousness, not by Big Brother beating us with a big stick. This is a controversial topic but if we can get this right, our societies will see immediate and exponential benefits, allowing us to flourish beyond anything we’ve come to expect.

Episode 10: The Ethics Of Eating
Vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians, omnivores and carnivores unite! Let us discuss honestly the controversial question of what we should be eating. I offer my views on the pros and cons of each of these diets, in terms of optimising health and ecological flourishing while minimising the suffering of sentient beings. The core theme is that there are many roads up the mountain and we can and should and must learn to engage each other respectfully, accepting our differences and focusing on the common ground upon which we can begin to make practical changes to transform our world into a little bit more of a paradise.

Episode 9: The Low-hanging Fruit Of Health
Health is the foundation upon which all else in our lives is built. All our dreams and schemes require it and blossom in direct proportion to the vitality of our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellness. This episode provides countless practical tips about what is and isn’t in our interests if we want to thrive on all levels. I am not an expert but just a curious soul with an appreciation for the gift of healthy living, so please do your own due diligence and research the topics addressed, particularly if you have any serious health ailments. That said, I hope this dive into health fascinates and inspires you to a deeper connection and commitment to balance. May all beings be well and happy!

Episode 8: The Gist Of History
History isn’t over yet. It is not just the past but also the present and the future; the greatest story ever told – ever imaginable – as it is the sum and whole of all stories ever to be. This episode gives a brief (ahem) overview of world history, with a particular focus on Europe and the near East; vital knowledge for anyone who wants to know where they are and where they are going, wants to understand their true context in space and time. We also look at how and why things change in the world, giving history its momentum and flux. We look at the challenges presented by biased and incomplete information and how to approach historical sources so as to see clearly what is true, what is false and what is likely. You will also learn of the staggering revolution taking place in our understanding of the events of ‘prehistory’, and the increasingly strong evidence for a lost civilisation of great advancement, even up to the present day scoffed at by most mainstream historians. Most of all, I hope this episode gives you a sense of your own precious presence as an integral part of the flow of history – and your own power, opportunity and responsibility to be the change you want to see in this wonderful, chaotic, yet divinely ordered Earth in motion.

Episode 7: Awakening
Awakening 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.

Episode 6: Why Wasn't I Taught This In School?
We in the so-called developed world spend so many years in school and yet in adulthood so often wonder why we were never taught fundamental skills and knowledge that could save us much heartache, blood, sweat and tears; the ignored doors to a better life missed. Much of this lost education is simple, practical and even enjoyable, but revolutionary in its potential to uplift human beings to lives of greater clarity, calm, courage, contentment, competence, caring and a whole host of other good things beginning with the letter C. This episode humbly offers these lost treasures for your integration (into your own life or that of your children) as well as discussing the big picture of what education is and just how juicy and enjoyable it can be when done right. We look at the future of education and what a wise school curriculum might include (and exclude), but most important of all is the love of learning for its own sake; the lifelong quest to see more and be more, always growing.

Episode 5: Mother Nature
Let’s give it up for Mother Nature! What a gal. She gives us literally everything we have and asks nothing in return – don’t say she doesn’t speak, you’re just not listening! Or maybe you are. Maybe you too are aware just how plentiful are the gifts and opportunities dangled before us like lush fruits of the jungle as we spin through space at stunning speed. In this episode, I discuss the nature of nature (including reasons to think the Earth is literally a sentient entity) and why the prevalent self-hatred of humanity (often justified with reference to ecological abuses and failings of conscience) is but a juvenile cocoon ready to be released as the butterfly of forgiveness when we realise we ARE nature and that Gaia is doing this to herself, through us – and our awakening will also be hers. We are the cause of many terrible crises facing the biosphere but we are also the creatures that make music, poetry and paintings, that tell jokes and fall in love, study nature, play games, build rockets, care for the weak and read children bedtime stories. We must acknowledge and work on our darkness but must also see and celebrate our light, or else we will fail to unify enough to implement the powerful solutions which already exist, needing only mass public awareness to do their magic. We belong here, just as all Earthlings do – we need only find wisdom’s balance. We are Mother Nature’s sons and daughters and it’s time we came home to our senses, to embrace and give gratitude to our beautiful living planet. P.S. Here’s the poem I couldn’t quite remember during the podcast: “Our Home In The Stars” Through window skies, crystal clear should a far, lonesome traveller peer, everyoung Nature will fill their eyes in sweet, swaying light, dancing alone No warmer welcome, no kinder prize, our home in the stars, our garden stone. Deep forgotten wells of stardust swell into her flawless, flourishing flirt; Love – the flower of life itself, flowing wild woven clothes for her She is the laugh and sigh and smile of the slumbering Oneness, a precious sunlit isle, and we are her dance amongst the stars, to bloom and be the dreams we find afar

Tune in as I psychically connect with my twin brother Mark via various hilarious and generally flamboyant esoteric magical practices long ago encoded into our DNA and higher-dimensional astral skeletons. We discuss truth-seeking and the joys of seeing life as a journey of spiritual education; also the ways in which black magic aspersions such as 'conspiracy theorist' are often cast upon those who ask uncomfortable questions, whether it be by an individual seeking to explain away spooky contradictions or by a status quo attempting to defend against public consciousness-expansion; as well as the nature of 'spirituality' and what it means to be authentic, peaceful and as wise as a talking monkey can be!

Episode 3: Why We Want Free Speech
In this episode we look at what 'free speech' is and why it is so important. The freedom to say what one wishes (so long as it doesn't violate the non-aggression principle) is the most fundamental of human rights, because it is the mechanism by which all rights are decided. This most precious power is not only enjoyable and useful for collective problem-solving, but even necessary for the survival of civilisation and the sacred homecoming of human enlightenment. Censorship of 'bad ideas' is itself perhaps the worst idea of all; whereas the trust that truth percolates to the top if we allow an open conversation? That's genius.

In this episode I talk about why 'being yourself' is a really good idea! More than a cliché, this is timeless wisdom that will elevate one's existence if taken sillily (or seriously). I discuss the various levels and meanings of 'being yourself' and how I think we can live more joyfully and authentically, connecting with ourselves and others by dropping the masks and sharing our true self (or selves) with the world.

One small step for me, a giant leap for hyperbole! This is my first ever podcast episode and I talk about my reasons for starting this project - and why YOU too could (maybe even should) lean into that glowing golden dream floating about elusively in the back of your mind - or if you don't have a dream, then just to take some humble step toward a life you would prefer to live. I discuss some reasons why we should even bother with starting new things and also do my best to show why we shouldn't believe in the various reasons our minds find to hold us back.

Episode 117: Rallying The Diaspora To Save Ireland

Episode 117: Rallying The Diaspora To Save Ireland
There are 80 million people worldwide who claim some Irish descent, with 3 million being Irish-born emigrants, their children and grandchildren. This group of 3 million are legally recognised Irish citizens and tend to share quite closely the sociocultural norms of Ireland. The majority of these people also left Ireland with great reluctance due to the hardships of various oppressions (imperial, fundamentalist, bureaucratic) and the spiritual and material poverty such pressures engendered in the Irish population. Most left to escape injustice, to find a fairer field over the sea; but except for the born adventurers, these Irish folk left with a sorrowful heart for farewelling the people, places and perspectives of their homeland. In a poetic twist very fitting for the Irish, there is a chance now that these long-lost sons and daughters of Éire may in a way come back over the seas to her aid in an hour of great need. Irish liberty, sovereignty and even ethno-cultural existence are being attacked by forces who have the nerve to claim to be doing it for virtue, justice and enlightened perspective. The Irish diaspora cannot vote in Irish elections (one must be a resident) but our kin across the seas can send in the cavalry with financial support for patriotic candidates and parties, with media campaigns raising awareness in their countries of the plight of the Irish people, and by sharing inspiration and information on social media and Irish radio, offering the clarity of their more distant eye to help Ireland see how the big picture looks zoomed out. It will be much more difficult for the Irish government to slander the diaspora as ‘far-right’ and demonise citizens of foreign countries, and this may encourage resident Irish to stand. If even a tenth of the Gaelic millions abroad decide Ireland is too beautiful to be betrayed again after all we’ve been through, and we put our foot down to declare that this time the Irish will see the end of tyranny and taste the sweet fruit of freedom’s victory . . . imagine! This will happen, if we let it. May the prodigal son return. Céad míle fáilte to the Diaspora!
