Vetting the World, Mending the Body

Chat GPT: In a bleary-eyed morning episode, the host insists that wisdom doesn’t go stale—what was true yesterday is still true at sunrise. Between joking about vetting volunteers for world leaders and recounting a homeschool victory (his son memorized 50 random items in 20 minutes), he reflects on physical strain, hockey injuries, and the relief offered by his “gentle witch” osteopath. Then the day’s teaching lands: Sadhguru’s distinction between pain and suffering. Pain, he says, is part of the body’s intelligence—a signal to protect itself. Suffering, though, is self-created, born from resistance and unawareness. Through stories of stitches without anesthesia, bodiless yogis, and Christlike forgiveness, the message is clear—expand awareness and stop multiplying pain. By episode’s end, humor gives way to humility: pain may be unavoidable, but how we carry it—gracefully or not—is always a choice.
