Going Nowhere w/ Levi & Ray | Episode 1

Andrew, Amanda, and Ray
About this episode

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.

[00:00:00] Introduction to the new series with Levi and Ray, embracing uncertainty in conversation.
[00:01:04] Rethinking Jesus—was he just a human who got lost in his own story?
[00:04:32] The illusion of government integrity and how we project unrealistic ideals onto leaders.
[00:06:18] The fine line between belief and delusion—when belief becomes unquestionable.
[00:08:06] How hope can become a trap that stops action and keeps us stuck.
[00:09:43] The misunderstood concept of "flow"—it's not about ease but surrendering resistance.
[00:11:53] Challenging the first cause argument—does existence even need a beginning?
[00:14:17] Why the "simulation theory" still assumes an external creator instead of recognizing self-awareness.
[00:17:45] The fear of responsibility—realizing you are the creative potential of the universe.
[00:20:41] How attachment to opinions and expectations creates suffering.
[00:24:40] The power of small interactions—why a simple conversation can shift everything.
[00:26:51] Overcoming fear in social interactions—why are we afraid to break the script?
[00:28:40] How dropping expectations makes social interactions effortless.
[00:31:41] The connection between stretching and emotional release—sitting with discomfort.
[00:33:52] Wrapping up
