On River FM Mondays between 2 and 4pm Our Stories The conversation today is with Carlos. Live streaming 2ncr.org.au/Stream ourinnerstories.com.au/home/ Have put up rant by Martha Nussbaum "Do not despise your inner world. That is the first and most general piece of advice I would offer– Our society is very outward-looking, very taken up with the latest new object, the latest piece of gossip, the latest opportunity for self-assertion and status. But we all begin our lives as helpless babies, dependent on others for comfort, food, and survival itself. And even though we develop a degree of mastery and independence, we always remain alarmingly weak and incomplete, dependent on others and on an uncertain world for whatever we are able to achieve. As we grow, we all develop a wide range of emotions responding to this predicament: fear that bad things will happen and that we will be powerless to ward them off; love for those who help and support us; grief when a loved one is lost; hope for good things in the future; anger when someone else damages something we care about. Our emotional life maps our incompleteness: A creature without any needs would never have reasons for fear, or grief, or hope, or anger. But for that very reason we are often ashamed of our emotions, and of the relations of need and dependency bound up with them. Perhaps males, in our society, are especially likely to be ashamed of being incomplete and dependent, because a dominant image of masculinity tells them that they should be self-sufficient and dominant. So people flee from their inner world of feeling, and from articulate mastery of their own emotional experiences. The current psychological literature on the life of boys in America indicates that a large proportion of boys are quite unable to talk about how they feel and how others feel — because they have learned to be ashamed of feelings and needs, and to push them underground. But that means that they don’t know how to deal with their own emotions, or to communicate them to others. When they are frightened, they don’t know how to say it, or even to become fully aware of it. Often they turn their own fear into aggression. Often, too, this lack of a rich inner life catapults them into depression in later life. We are all going to encounter illness, loss, and ageing, and we’re not well prepared for these inevitable events by a culture that directs us to think of externals only, and to measure ourselves in terms of our possessions of externals.
"What is the remedy of these ills? A kind of self-love that does not shrink from the needy and incomplete parts of the self, but accepts those with interest and curiosity, and tries to develop a language with which to talk about needs and feelings. Storytelling plays a big role in the process of development. As we tell stories about the lives of others, we learn how to imagine what another creature might feel in response to various events. At the same time, we identify with the other creature and learn something about ourselves. As we grow older, we encounter more and more complex stories — in literature, film, visual art, music — that give us a richer and more subtle grasp of human emotions and of our own inner world. So my second piece of advice, closely related to the first, is: Read a lot of stories, listen to a lot of music, and think about what the stories you encounter mean for your own life and lives of those you love. In that way, you will not be alone with an empty self; you will have a newly rich life with yourself, and enhanced possibilities of real communication with others.”

This weeks Inner Journey Conversation is with Rene. Who is Instigator of Nimbin Storytellers which has commonality’s with the Inner journey conversations, its such great thing to be a part of .
Please Consider
If we can’t cooperate we can’t achieve much and mother earth, like us, is uncared for. The main reason for not being in unity is we are often locked into our own learned behaviours which sometimes has us clutching to the addiction of just more drama. It’s all about that person over there who has the power, and in that moment we have become a powerless victim. This is not actually true. In this place we need to consider our own focus that will make us conscious of what it is that we truly need, which maybe is just to be Loved. If we become self aware through all the adversity of our own Lives, those moments are where the growth occurs. A solution for a better world. If we tell our own stories to each other there is insight, and if we listen we can see the humanity in each other, sometimes feeling the pain of how another has been treated by fellow humans. Our feelings have been trashed but we can make our way back to those golden moments of our youth. Everything starts with human behaviours including these terrible wars going on at the Moment. Each and everyone one of must examine our own behaviours, are they hurting someone else for a better world and relationships.

On River FM 92.9 Mondays between 2 and 4 pm Our Stories Live Streaming 2ncr.org.au/stream My Website ourinnerstories.com.au/home/ My conversation Is with Richard Jones Who has Book out hence the writing that follows . From The vault. If a person could pack nine lives into one, it would be Richard Jones.
In this inspiring memoir, Richard recounts pivotal life experiences, including interaction with influential individuals such as Spike Milligan, Prince Philip and the Dalai Lama.
Richard “blew his mind on LSD” in the 1960s, igniting a passion for the natural word. He kickstarted three environmental groups, including Greenpeace Australia, and in the ‘80s published the groundbreaking alternative magazine, Simply Living.
Richard was twice elected to the NSW Parliament, holding the balance of power for over a decade. Dubbed the “nudist, dope-smoking, plastic-sandal-wearing MP” by the media, he wore this epithet happily. His courageous international acts for nature cost him relationships, wealth, and almost ended his life.
Today Richard resides in the hills behind Byron Bay, living in the “Forest of Friends” that he planted. He has reinvented himself as a ceramicist, saving rainforest all over the world with the proceeds and the message:
Be Kind to All Beings

River FM 92.9 Mondays 2pm to 4pm Our STORIES
My conversation this week with Me with Help from Katka. Live streaming 2ncr.org.au/stream I sit here on my veranda, the birds are serenading me, or are they just calling me home? How can we not see and hear the overwhelming beauty that emanates? Meanwhile more greedy humans still rape and plunder, leaving their mark of pollution and species extinction. I have been an activist against many injustices for many years and injustice on mother earth, or any living thing is not fully taken into account when considering our children and grandchildren.
One of the reasons I started doing this show in this format was that I recognised that when people meet to do activism, there wasn’t that deeper recognition/connection of each others’ inner side, the workings of which I consider has to be recognised. We must do the inner work for us to stand together in common unity. Unless we are whole, or at least make some moves towards self reflection, we have trouble standing in solidarity with others and seeing and listening to each other.
Remember Socrates ‘a life unexamined is not worth living’.
