And soo, Hello everybody welcome back to Red Menace.

All right on today's episode it's going to be another sort of free-flowing fun conversation that Alice and I like to have and that based

on our last episode on this topic, many of you seem to at least be interested in.

Our last episode was, not our last episode chronologically, but on this topic was on mysticism where we talked

about love ego spiritual practices etc and I and this episode can really be seen as kind of a continuation of that one.

I got a lot of good feedback on that episode.

It sparked a lot of people's curiosity and interest.

I know for some people used to our political theory, you know, main line of what we do here,

this sort of stuff isn't particularly interesting and that's totally fine.

I know this is going to be hit or miss to some people, but there's enough interest in our audience for this stuff

that I figured another episode could be fun and Allison and I just genuinely

enjoy talking about this stuff so we're gonna get into it you know, this is not very structured of a conversation,

but you know, I don't think it really needs to be because Allison and I will just, you know,

get ourselves thinking and going and once we're up and running,

we're pretty good at keeping the conversation

flowing. So yeah Allison do you have any opening thoughts anything that you want

to talk about before we get into I think the first question which is a big

question which is what is Enlightenment

which could be fun to go back and forth on.

Yeah I can't think even bigger question than that to start with honestly and I think

it'll be interesting to kind of get into because obviously you and I come from kind of different spiritual traditions on this but I think we share similar answers to that question in a way that should be interesting into. So yeah, I mean for for me, I'm just excited to talk about this up front.

I'll preface this, like I always preface the conversations we have about religion,
