Send me a message Where is our consciousness? Scientists have searched every millimeter of the human body and haven't found it. Asking where consciousness lives is like searching a video game for the microchip. We can explore every level and never find it, and yet it runs the whole game. In this episode of Path to Peace, Todd Perelmuter explores consciousness through the lens of meditation, quantum physics and a…
If we were to see reality as it really is, all of our expectations would be met. But because we have limited perspectives with limited information, we expect things to happen that end up not panning out. When we expect things, we place our opinion of how things should be above everyone else’s and above what the universe had set in motion long before we were even born.But what if…
How to Be One With the Universe: Seeing Beyond the Individual Self When we say that humans are social creatures, it doesn’t just mean that we like to gather and communicate. It means that through the many selves, a society emerges. Without society, we would have no language, and thus no thoughts. So while there is a great deal we can learn about ourselves when we close our eyes and…
How to Remove Fear From Mind and Heart: Facing the Inner MonstersDon’t be afraid to sit alone with your thoughts and allow yourself to work through them. What you fear to be unbearable is not so scary. But we must face down the monsters so that we can conquer them. We must shine a light on the dark corners we wish were not there.Suppression, repression, and distraction are most people’s…
Lawyers and StressI have known many lawyers in my life, from family members to dear friends. They are the nicest, smartest and funniest people to spend time with. They tend to be the most fun people to be around because their jobs are so stressful that they are very good at knowing how to blow off steam, sometimes in healthy ways and frequently in unhealthy ways.Because being a lawyer can…
Breakup is one of the hardest things we humans can go through and it doesn’t get talked about enough. Dating is like constantly losing a loved one (until that last first date when we finally find that special person we were meant for). In many ways, it can be worse than losing a loved one because when we lose someone in dating, it’s painful AND it’s confusing. We blame ourselves,…
What is the purpose and meaning of life? If it were just to survive, consume and expend energy, then we wouldn’t have the ability to even ask these questions. We would just be food-finding, mindless robots. So there is something much deeper to our lives than survival.If it were to be comfortable and safe, we’d be lazy and weak. If it were to be happy all the time, then we’d…
Send me a message Social anxiety and overthinking don’t come from what others think—they come from the mental stories we tell ourselves. When we place other people’s perceived opinions above our own, perfectionism and anxiety take over. In this podcast, Todd Perelmuter breaks down the root cause of social anxiety and shares how awareness, mindfulness, and presence can stop the overthinking spiral and bring lasting inner peace. Key Takeaways:• Why…
Cruel words can only hurt us if they are tinged with truth. Not with objective truth, but with our own personal truth. Objectively, no words would ever hurt us because we would be looking at our situation rationally, from all angles, and we’d be honest with ourselves about what we know and don’t know. If that inner voice in our head is self-critical, other people’s unkind words will really sting.…
Every single thing we experience outside of us is a projection of our own mind. If we lived in a tribe on an island with no connection to the modern world, we may think airplanes flying overhead were shiny birds. We can only experience the world based on our understanding, our mental state, and our emotional state.If we are hard on ourselves, we expect other people to be hard on…
