Thank you, Kyle for another super dope podcast!

I deeply resonated with your perspective on the human spiritual value of mental health in balance and harmony with the universe. When you mentioned Toltec civilization, I was reminded of the brilliant work from Mexican author Don Miguel Ruiz in his motivational book, The Four Agreements. I read it twice - and he fundamentally awakened my faulty beliefs.

Also, I'm glad you shared the prophetic wisdom of Dr. Wade Nobles.

Big Brotha Mark, we are aligned spiritually and culturally. Balance and harmony are quintessential to the moral foundation of the universe and humanity. Mental health is beyond dealing with day-to-day problems and coping with the stressors of life. It is, as Dr.Nobles described, a complete alignment of spiritedness and spirit.

By the way, The Four Agreements is a great book for anyone seeking indigenous wisdom outside of an African cultural context.
