About this listen

After untold years of independent study, critical analysis, and deep contemplation, I still don’t know the answers to all of the “the Great Questions,” the deep mysteries that have intrigued mankind forever! I think I’m on the right path, but I’m going to talk with a legion of experts in the areas of science, religion, and philosophy to get the full range of perspectives on the “fundamental issues,” and to confirm that I am, in fact, heading toward the truth! That’s what this podcast … that’s what this podquest is all about! … Well, it’s also about fixing the “dying problem,” but more about that on the show!Copyright 2024 All rights reserved.

    Infinite Supreme, Qualified/Creative Power, And “Solving The Hard Problem” - P.R. Sarkar By Way Of Richard Gauthier

    In this episode of Exus The Podquest, we spoke with former physics instructor and researcher, Richard Gauthier, about P.R. Sarkar. This individual created a worldwide spiritual and social institution (Ananda Marga), developed Hindu-inspired theories about infinite consciousness, the “cosmic mind,” and a super-cool concept known as “microvita.” Along the way, he also just might have derived an answer to the “hard problem” of consciousness in human beings … And here I thought that getting this podcast off the ground was a huge achievement. Buckle up and enjoy the ride as we go everforward into the wild and wonderful world of P.R. Sarkar!

  • Answers - Or Just More Questions? Science Needs A Freaking Win!
    Dec 18 2025

    Science is the bedrock of Exus The Podquest - our series-format thought experiment! That said, it’s more than just a little troubling that science hasn’t given us any real answers to the fundamental questions yet. There’s been monumental progress to be sure - DNA, gravity, entropy, evolution, etc. And yeah, we get it - science is continuous work in progress, a method that makes meaning out of the meandering madness - but at some point that’s just not gonna be quite good enough … right? This episode serves as a call to action of sorts for science to knock it off with all the "it's ok not to know" stuff (no, it's not) — and start knowing something, for crying out loud! Enjoy! :)

  • Secret Wisdom … And The Answers To Life, The Universe, And Everything? Theosophy (Part 1)
    Oct 23 2025
    Secret wisdom that underlies all of the world’s great religions! Mysticism alive in the pages of a primordial narrative, born at the dawn of creation. An ancient, hidden tradition of knowledge about the universe, divine reality, and human evolution! Whoa! Hold my Turkey Reuben! This is gonna be super fun … and super fascinating! We spent a remarkable hour with Mary Jo Kokochack of the Theosophical Society of Detroit - and we just got started before we ran out of time! Looking very forward to picking up the conversation - immediately or sooner!
