Dr. Fred Moss is a graduate of Northwestern University Medical School and a licensed psychiatrist who has served the mental health industry for nearly four decades. During that time he has consulted patients, practitioners, medical facilities, non-profit organisations, and community groups.
While his initial interest in psychiatry was to expand on communication and human connections as primary healing tools, a shift in the medical paradigm in the 80’s led to physicians diagnosing patients with biological and chemical imbalances, and prescribing medications as a primary way of dealing with life’s distress. The medications, which on occasion seemed to briefly quell the stated concerns, appeared to be exacerbating—even causing—the symptoms they were prescribed to treat.
In 2006, Dr. Fred began taking a new approach with his patients, working with a chosen few to assist in reclaiming their lives from the clenched fists of psychiatric diagnoses and medication. Lo and behold, they reliably eventually improved, even to the point of their diagnoses actually disappearing.
In the podcast we spoke about a number of deep and insightful topics including:-
- Questioning 'normal' views on mental health and the world in general
- Connecting to the heart of healing
- The value of beliefs and opinions
- Is it possible to unite humanity?
- Modern day psychiatry and it's problems

I've enjoyed talking to some of the (not?) non-duality speakers over recent times, and I've found it intriguing how they point to the same thing but their communication is very different.
Kenneth Madden is quite a well known 'teacher' in this space. Having watched a couple of his videos prior to the conversation, I resonated with the (seeming) personality and I enjoyed speaking with him.
We spoke about:-
- 'Spiritual' seeking
- How psychology/philosophy are 'seen'
- Free will
- Meaning
- Mental Health
- Why this isn't 'nihilistic'
- Knowing
From Kenneth's Website
This communication is in it’s essence very simple and paradoxically is beyond understanding. It is the suggestion that what you have experienced as a separate ‘me’ is and always has been only an appearance. What is being suggested here is that there is in actuality no such thing as a separate individual, or anything at all that exists in and of itself. It is the really felt contracted sense of being separate to the world that gives rise to a yearning for wholeness. In other words what we are all searching for, in myriad different ways, is to not be a separate ‘me’ and be complete and whole. So whether I am trying to make a million euros or searching for spiritual enlightenment through becoming increasingly meditative and mindfully aware, what I am actually looking for is to not be a separate person, to be whole and complete. Another way of saying this is that I am in fact searching for my own absence (not my expression, not sure of the exact source to reference it.) Here’s the thing though. You are nothing other than already whole and complete- so what you are seeking and yearning for is what already is. This, aliveness. That is the divine comedy, that what you are in fact looking for is nothing other than what is and always has been and you have ran around like a headless chicken thinking it was something else, around the next corner etc.

John Butler is an author, explorer, and recently a YouTube sensation. Having millions of views and hundreds of thousands of subscribers on his channel, he has unexpectedly become an online sage - a refreshing breath of authenticity.
I was utterly mesmerised by John's depth during the discussion, compounded by his incredible voice (recently recognised by the Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response community).
The conversation meandered from his childhood and work-life into meditation, nature, death, ego, silence and God. His reflections hold a lot of wisdom, evident throughout the entire conversation.
Simply a wonderful Human Being.
