this episode is a creative non-fiction story on the illusions of choice + time presented by Dane.

in various chapters, Dane explores the way language and cultural myths are used to pull us from our natural Oneness within true time + place: Spacetime.

do you know the origin of the word "deadline"? do you know the meaning of the word "metro"? "metropolis"? how can these words and their stories entrap us or free us?

all this and more is explored in this in-depth look at how our dominant story of separation rules us with false time and the illusion of unlimited choices.

this podcast contains music and audio from numerous artists and archival sources to highlight the *interbeingness* of history, pop-culture, art, linguistics, and philosophy - of all things. i realize i am taking liberty with "fair-use" here, but if this essay is about anything, it's about the silliness of things like "copyright" and "copywrite" as though either could possibly be original. (this work will not be monetized, as such.)

muses, teachers, thinkers, writers, artists, friends, family, and myself wrote and co-created this creative audio essay. many thanks to all who have touched or supported my work over the years and those that continue to do so.
