Going Nowhere

Going Nowhere w/ Levi & Ray | Episode 1

What if everything you thought you knew about "being in the flow" was just another illusion? In this conversation, we dive into the deeper reality behind belief, hope, and the way we cling to false certainty for comfort. From breaking down the myth of a "perfect" Jesus to challenging the very idea of a creator, we push past surface-level spirituality into the raw, often uncomfortable process of actually waking up. Can you ever truly be "out of the flow"? And what happens when you stop resisting what’s already happening? This one will challenge your assumptions—if you let it.

Going Nowhere w/ Levi & Ray | Episode 2

Fear isn't the enemy—it's just misunderstood. In this raw and insightful conversation, we explore the hidden ways fear shapes our decisions, our relationships, and even our identities. From the trap of denying fear to the subtle psychosis of mistaking thoughts for reality, we dive into how stories we tell ourselves become prisons we don't even see. We unpack the emotional weight of self-judgment, the illusion of control, and why karaoke might just be the ultimate metaphor for life. If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you think you are and who you might become—this one’s for you. Let go, tune in, and discover the power of presence beyond the story.
