I'm finally back after a bit of an unintentional hiatus, which we review in the podcast. The highlight of which is that I was recording podcasts for the Shambhala Meditation Center of San Antonio.

Today's podcast was inspired by something that Shawno from the HyperNonsense podcast when he said, "I denounce your reality and replace it with my own."

We take a look at your reality, my reality, and everyone elses reality. And yes, we spend some time denouncing them. It really quite fun!

As I'm sure most of you are aware, it's been awhile since the last Enlighten Up Podcast and I should tell everyone that I have not died or fallen off the face of the earth or anything like that.  I was on a business trip for a week and didn't get a chance to record.  On top of that, the last half of the trip I developed the flu, which I am still dealing with.  At any rate, I now have no voice, so podcasting is on hold for a few days. 

If you haven't already done so, you could take a listen to to the Podcast from the Shambhala Meditation Center of San Antonio.  Acharya Moh Hardin and Sangyum Cynde Grieve came in from Halifax, NS and gave some wonderful talks that are getting posted over there slowly.
