This “Enlightened” New World utopia isn’t turning out to be all it was cracked up to be. Society is disenchanting, but are the only alternatives hiding out in the hills or burying yourself in books? With an air of levity and a touch of humor, John Heers teaches how to examine the confusing New World by calling upon the mind and wisdom of oft-forgotten Old. Heavy Things, Lightly.

Love Uncle Seth 😂 honestly these episodes are a kind of comedic oasis whenever they come up, excellent. Thank you both, God be with you! ☦️

[@johnheers6220]

Ron! 💯

[@michaelalexander3001]

I was listening to a lot of heavy things this week, and I was like, “where can I find something light that isn’t dumb?” So I tuned in here!

[@johnheersftf4537]

May it be so!

[@druidzrok]

great pod bro! Uncle Seth drives me nuts but love him anyway

[@johnheers6220]

It’s hard lol

[@SteveBedford]

Uncle Seth gotta be a guest of honor at the next AoT

[@johnheers6220]

Please we have to do this! I’m working on him right now!

[@SteveBedford]

Heck yes, I love (to hate (but really love)) Uncle Seth.

[@nathanwoodsy]

Love me some uncle Seth.

Even when Jesus walked the earth, He did not heal all the lepers in the world. He did not even heal all those in the Middle East or in Jerusalem. He healed some, and only those who came to Him. The Pharisees even reproached Him for not coming down from the cross.

[@johnheers6220]

This is a very important thing and needs to be said

[@PatronSaintSpyridon]

You should have me on your show.

[@serbianbyzantine]

With all due respect, USA and NATO have decided to fight a war against Serbia, and then they looked for a false flag, eg crimes and atrocities, as a justification. They did later the same with Iraq, lying in UN about chemical weapons. Not at all comparable with Israel and Palestine.

[@johnheers6220]

Agreed

[@PLFREF]

I need a drink. 🥃

Best comment ever

[@ChristIsKingPhilosophy]

I'm not denying that there are a lot of greedy cats in America, or that the boomers are super greedy. But Millennials, especially outside America, are broke. We can't afford having a family, and it's not an exaggeration. It's not fear of poverty. It's literal poverty. European youngsters in Spain cannot afford to live by themselves.

[@rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr1]

Don't love or hate Seth. Just feel sorry for him. And am not 100% comfortable with the pod's platforming the trampling of pearls.

[@johnheers6220]

A very good point… it is a danger and I pray we don’t do that… and yet we all know such a man and we shall tell our story and when we do we will run the risk of dirtying the pearls. It is in fact what mission work always risks…

[@serbianbyzantine]

@@johnheers6220 You didn’t have your pearls trampled. Your friend is a part of your life and a part of you. Your conversations with him are as inspiring as they are sincere.

[@johnheers6220]

@@serbianbyzantineyou are kind and I feel better! 🇷🇸❤️

[@erinduffy1981]

I know these people -- like I think since they were 4 -- like Georgia....

[@johnheers6220]

Dufffffff!

[@veggrl2878]

I listened to this one and it was pretty incoherent. I felt like sentences were never completed nor were thoughts. Editing? Drinking? Both? Can't be sure. Thought about watching to see if it made more sense, but neh

[@MichaelOregonia]

The juxtaposition from the previous episode to this one was too much for me.

[@johnheers6220]

Guilty as charged, but when you think about it, this one makes the last even more miraculous!

[@MichaelOregonia]

@johnheers6220 I work in Portland, Oregon in a neighborhood where there are still old hippy couples. The new Portland progressives in the hood have stopped pretending to like them. Some people just don't know what era they're in.

[@MichaelOregonia]

​@@johnheers6220lol I listened to the two episodes back to back and it was really something.
