What It Means to Truly Live: A Debate on Existence and Awareness

Published on: 13th March, 2026

The dialogue presented encapsulates a profound exploration of humanity's disconnection from nature and the universe. The participants engage in a reflective discourse concerning the idea of 'finding our way back,' which implies an intrinsic relationship with the environment that has been neglected. The conversation touches on various themes, including the juxtaposition of human concerns—such as financial obligations and the anxieties tied to modern existence—against the simplicity and instinctual harmony exhibited by animals and nature. It becomes evident that while humans grapple with existential burdens, animals fulfill their roles within the ecosystem with an innate understanding, thus highlighting a stark contrast in living experiences. One of the key discussions revolves around the notion that animals possess a heightened sense of awareness and instinct that guides them during events such as natural disasters. For instance, the participants illustrate how certain animals, like buffalo, confront storms rather than flee from them, suggesting a metaphorical lesson for humanity to endure and confront challenges directly. This leads to a broader examination of how humans, often distracted by material and societal pressures, can learn from the instinctual behaviors of animals to reconnect with their environment and streamline their existence. Ultimately, this episode serves as a poignant reminder of the need to recalibrate our relationship with nature, urging listeners to consider the simplicity and wisdom embedded in the natural world, which, if embraced, could lead to a more harmonious existence. The conversation not only reflects on the current state of human life but also invites introspection on how we might align ourselves more closely with the rhythms of the universe.

Takeaways:

  1. The discussion emphasizes the notion that humanity has deviated from its intended path, leading to a disconnection from the natural order.
  2. Reconnecting with our innate purpose is essential for aligning ourselves with the universe and achieving true fulfillment.
  3. The speakers contemplate the struggles humans face in contrast to animals, which seamlessly follow their instincts and natural rhythms.
  4. The podcast highlights the importance of sensory awareness and intuition in navigating life's challenges, drawing parallels with animal behaviors.
  5. A significant point raised is the need for humans to adopt a more proactive approach in confronting difficulties, akin to how buffalo face storms head-on.
  6. The conversation also delves into the philosophical implications of living without sensory perception, questioning what it means to truly live.

Transcript
Speaker A:

That last sentence, though, Rafiki, you said we have lost our way, right?

Speaker A:

But if we find our way back, what does that mean?

Speaker B:

If we find our way back to the way it's supposed to be?

Speaker B:

I believe that we would be where we're supposed to be as far as lining up with the universe or the omniverse, as far as we would be back on top again.

Speaker B:

But right now I feel that the animals.

Speaker B:

Even the trees, I'll even throw that in there.

Speaker B:

Even the trees, the water, the grass does everything that they're supposed to do while we sit here and we struggle, as Sebastian was saying there, we struggle because we got too much on our mind and we're always thinking of something else.

Speaker B:

We're trying to figure out where our next meal is coming from.

Speaker B:

We're trying to figure out, you know, we as a human, we got bills, we got the car payments, as he was saying, house payments, rents, all that.

Speaker B:

And it puts a worry upon us where the animals have nothing.

Speaker A:

Here's the question.

Speaker A:

I could go with that.

Speaker A:

You want me to give you another example of the animals being more connected?

Speaker A:

What happens to what.

Speaker A:

What do animals do right before a flood or a volcano or something like that?

Speaker B:

They will get out the way.

Speaker B:

They will definitely.

Speaker C:

It depends on what animal.

Speaker A:

What you say?

Speaker A:

Mental, can you hear me?

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

I was saying it depends on what animal it is, but for the most

Speaker A:

part, what do they do?

Speaker C:

It depends on because.

Speaker C:

Because it kind of goes half and half.

Speaker C:

Some.

Speaker C:

Some will run into, say, a storm, for instance.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

A buffalo.

Speaker C:

A buffalo would run into the storm because it knows it.

Speaker C:

They will get out of the storm quicker than running away from it like a cow would do.

Speaker C:

A cow would run away from the storm and get tired and keep.

Speaker C:

Continue to run it like us humans continue to run from.

Speaker C:

Instead of standing there dealing with the.

Speaker B:

That.

Speaker C:

That buffalo gonna run into the storm, get the bullshit over with and get on about his life.

Speaker C:

We need to be more like buffalo.

Speaker A:

All right, I have a question.

Speaker A:

How the ducks know it's time to fly south?

Speaker C:

Going back to what we were saying.

Speaker C:

And like Rafiki said, them senses, them senses, it's all about them senses.

Speaker C:

When it comes to animal, they rely on senses.

Speaker C:

They ain't thinking.

Speaker C:

Their.

Speaker C:

Their thought pattern ain't nowhere near where.

Speaker C:

Where.

Speaker C:

Where we as humans think, you know, and since that.

Speaker C:

And, and.

Speaker C:

And depending on the species, they are going to fly into it or, or go into it or go away from it or go to a spot to where they know that nothing like this goes on.

Speaker C:

Like you Were saying ducks flying south for the winter, they chasing the warm.

Speaker C:

They know that them senses taught them.

Speaker A:

Without senses, could you live on Earth?

Speaker C:

You can live anywhere without senses.

Speaker A:

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Speaker C:

Will you be successful?

Speaker A:

No, no, no, Wait, wait.

Speaker C:

Another question.

Speaker A:

No, the question.

Speaker A:

Here's the question.

Speaker A:

If you don't have access to senses, is that actually living?

Speaker C:

Yes, yes, because you're still.

Speaker C:

You're still.

Speaker C:

You're still alive.

Speaker C:

Your body is still living.

Speaker C:

I get what you're saying.

Speaker C:

I get what you're saying.

Speaker A:

Your soul is still living because you're eternal.

Speaker C:

Like, I get what you're saying.

Speaker C:

I get what you're saying, you know,

Speaker A:

but I said, could you live on this earth without access to five senses?

Speaker C:

Well, yes, you can.

Speaker A:

Well, well, some animals don't have five senses.

Speaker A:

I don't know.

Speaker A:

Some animals got less than that, but, you know.

Speaker C:

Right, right.

Speaker C:

The platypus blind.

Speaker C:

There's some blind people.

Speaker C:

So that proves that we can live without census.

Speaker A:

Not all five.

Speaker A:

Somebody without.

Speaker A:

Without all five, they gonna be done.

Speaker A:

That's vegetable state, wouldn't you say?

Speaker C:

Nope.

Speaker C:

Is Stevie Wonder in a vegetable state?

Speaker A:

But Stevie Wonder still has access to singing voice.

Speaker A:

Hearing, tasting, smelling.

Speaker C:

That's not all five.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Wait, what do you mean it, bruh?

Speaker A:

The five senses are seeing, touching, smelling, tasting.

Speaker A:

Yeah, but I'm saying if you can't.

Speaker A:

If you don't have.

Speaker A:

If, if someone can't do all five of those, that's a vegetable.

Speaker C:

So, so, so just because you don't have access to the site, according to kind of what you're saying is a vegetable.

Speaker A:

No, I said all five.

Speaker A:

If somebody not don't have all five.

Speaker A:

I'm not saying minus one.

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah, you could any.

Speaker C:

Like, they don't have any sense.

Speaker A:

No, you can live with.

Speaker A:

You.

Speaker A:

You could live with minus twos.

Speaker A:

They got deaf people, deaf and blind.

Speaker A:

But they still.

Speaker A:

They still living.

Speaker A:

They.

Speaker A:

Because they still eating.

Speaker A:

You know, hey, they got a.

Speaker A:

They got a.

Speaker A:

Who can't taste.

Speaker A:

But the still living because he eating ain't got to taste your food to be able to eat.

Speaker A:

Right, But I'm just saying someone.

Speaker A:

If you take all five away, What is that?

Speaker C:

You still.

Speaker C:

Your body was still.

Speaker C:

You're not enjoying the senses, but your body's still alive.

Speaker C:

You're still living.

Speaker C:

Your heart is still beating.

Speaker A:

But I thought living, real living is here.

Speaker A:

You here to enjoy the five senses.

Speaker C:

I mean, that's what, that's what's been said.

Speaker C:

I don't, I don't.

Speaker C:

I can't.

Speaker A:

I can't.

Speaker C:

I don't know.

Speaker C:

I mean, living, you know, living is.

Speaker C:

It's alive.

Speaker C:

Like this tree right here.

Speaker C:

It cannot go anywhere that we can do to enjoy life, but has all of the senses that.

Speaker C:

That we have.

Speaker C:

It can hear, it can feel, it probably can taste.

Speaker C:

I don't know about that part.

Speaker A:

If it gets some poison, that motherfucker keel over.

Speaker C:

Okay, so it's some taste in that shit.

PAUL HEATH

I am Paul. When I reflect back on my life, I was always interested in astrology. I would read my daily horoscope in the newspaper every day and often wonder, “how do they know?”
One day I was told I am a “cusp of beauty”, because my birthday was the last day of Virgo. I went home to research what cusp of beauty meant. My curiosity soared when finding out the meaning. I didn’t realize that I had just begun the journey of “Know Thyself.”
Learning how to read my natal chart I acquired the skills to assist others with deciphering their own chart-energy. Astrology has helped me understand and accept me for who I am. Although still work in progress, knowing about myself is surely making the process easier. I enjoy helping others (Virgo Sun) with the information I have gathered (Gemini Rising) that will help transform lives (Scorpio Moon) in a positive way.
I look forward to meeting and working with you as we embark on your journey.
