Podcast Description
You aren’t being borne along the current of an inevitable thing, you are able to steer from what brings you down, make alliances with what supports you. Personal empowerment means deconditioning from values of the society, putting your own values in place. Realize you must shoot for Extra-environmentalism. When people say they feel like a creature from outer space, that’s not such a bad way to feel, it means you see the game, you don’t buy in, you can't be bought with a Mercedes, business trips to Paris. It’s a controlled alienation, where you cultivate extra-environmentalism. You are at home everywhere, you are always comfortable, you don’t have to be with people of your class, culture, or earning capacity to feel alright. Terrence the poet, said, I am a human being therefore nothing human is alien to me. That’s the thing, you accept the human, but be comfortable to acclimate to any cultural styles. It’s a magical thing, you’re a performer, you move through these things knowing this is not who I am, what I am, merely a response to the demands of the moment.

Customer Reviews
Love these guys
This show is great!
MUST SUBSCRIBE
I am a podcast addict and this is by far my favorite one
Keep up the great work!
These two young podcasters have a very bright future
I just found out about this gem of a podcast via Episode 280 of the C-Realm Podcast. I liked what I heard and started listening to episode after episode of the Extraenvironmentalist. These two may be young and new to the Podcast scene, but the guests that they bring on "week after week" are totally legit and relevant to what is going on in our world today.
Keep up the good work Seth&Justin.
