I hope you’re ready for some deep explorations in this one! I sure did not expect to get into trauma when I started this episode…but that’s the direction it went and it took me right with it!
If you have been impacted by this world’s hurts, may this episode of Getting Naked with Nate bring you some peace; some sense of companionship and hope, knowing that 1. you are NOT alone (I, at least, am right there with you) and 2. there ARE solutions (which is a great relief for me to hear too, yay)!
Golden Shadows is a song with many layers: It explores friendship, the soul’s journey and the human experience (among other things).
I’m excited to share the topics this song inspired and can’t wait to hear your thoughts in the comments below (or on Twitter, Instagram, via email or anywhere else)! Maybe you get very different feelings, images and meanings from this song!? Let me know, I’m all ?.

Hope you are having a better day by now. I really like your podcasts because I really relate to the emotion that you put into your songs and words. I don’t believe in hell for sure. I hope that we are reincarnated-and I think that we are-because I am so deeply connected to life, people and nature. I don’t want to leave this life (hoping Buddhism can help me overcome my fear of death), so I want to come back somehow !
Hi, Erryn! yes, my day has indeed improved, thanks for the kind message! And for listening! It’s an interesting question, the whole reincarnation thing, for sure! Strangely, the whole point of Nirvana/enlightenment is to get off the wheel of reincarnation, as far as I understand it. I suppose by the time we to that point, we’ll be ready for a rest

Listened to your songs and your soothing voice this morning after sleeping in without setting an alarm for the first time in weeks. It was the perfect start to the day 🙂 Have a lovely weekend!
I love the thought of one more human having a beautiful rested morning thanks, in part, to my music! Thank you Monika . Wishing you a lovely weekend too ❤️

Hope you’re still finding good rest, 2 years later, Monika ?
This podcast was definitely thought provoking! Your thoughts on “making love” go beyond the normal thoughts of the phrase, but then again I’m not surprised because the title of your podcast is “Getting Naked With Nate”
I believe we were each created for a purpose way beyond our current state of affairs. You’re an explorer and a deep thinker like myself, so I wold recommend reading the Bible for answers. After all, I did read this:
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord . “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:8-9 NKJV
I know you’re not necessarily a believer in heaven or hell, but I challenge you to start exploring your curiosity more. I don’t settle for theories like “The Big Bang Theory” or “The Theory Of Evolution” Man if FAR too sophisticated for those theories to work for me!
By the way, your reference to what a Golden Shower was is hilarious!!
Hehe, glad you liked my Golden Showers definition
My mind is so open that I believe it’s as likely life on earth developed thanks to aliens dropping off DNA code here back in the day. Really, what makes it any more likely that a bearded dude in the sky created everything on a whim?
I’ve tried reading the bible, little parts of it speak to me, but most of it bores me. If you have any particular parts you think I should read, I’m open to it. Also, which translation? There are so many ways to read the various ways people have translated, all based on their own biases and beliefs. To say nothing of all the recently discovered Gnostic teachings which have a far more liberal view of Jesus, Divinity and human potential.
It’s a rocky road, hehe.
Anyway,happy you’re here and always enjoy hearing from you@
Reading the Bible, boring, maybe, but studying and meditating on it, priceless!
I’ve got some scripture to start you off that piqued my interests. And yes, I agree there are SEVERAL translations. Personally, I study these versions: AMPC (Amplified) because it is very easy for me to understand. I also like the NIV (New International Version) NKJV (New King James Version) and the NLT (New Living Translation)
Honestly, I would recommend the AMPC to you in order to easily comprehend what you are studying. From there however, you should choose your own personal preference, as each person’s is different. I’ve also included some scriptures below for you to chew on as well.
Yes it is a rocky road, I agree. But I’m not about to allow “religious beliefs” deter me from seeking the truth.
Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God’s will in thought, purpose, and action), So that the man of God may be complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 AMPC
https://bible.com/bible/8/2ti.3.16-17.AMPC
Also, I recommend reading the book Jesus>Religion by Jefferson Bethke. Reading it was an eye-opener for me!!
Let me know your thoughts on my reply….
Cheers!

Sorry I never got back to this one! Thanks for the recommendations, I’ll look into getting the AMPC ?
