Transition to the topic of "Attention."

Phreddie ponders transitions in film. Is sleep a hard cut or a fade? Jazzy relates a story...

"Transitions" is a partial episode. The second part will be released next Sunday. The entire episode is near 45 minutes, so we decided to break it into two parts.

Jimmy calls the tune, and the song is in the key of transition. Jimmy goes on to explain and define transition. He says it insinuates coming from somewhere and going to somewhere.

Quickly, the conversation segues to death -- another Transit -- where it is written that the being is between lives.

Phreddie begins describing his transition from the USA to Spain, and he wonders...

Marriage

Phreddie asks, "What did marriage mean when you got married?" Jazzy asks, How is marriage defined?

Jazzy's marriage is arranged, and he discusses the boundaries between him and his wife -- yet, there is a family.

Jimmy recalls how he met Mary. Jimmy's father said Donald men are like geese -- they mate for life. Currently Mary and Jimmy are managing. It's a more difficult time -- Jimmy's dying -- they are not sure what they are doing. He's not building anymore. Curious time. Workin' it through. Jimmy looks at families to...

The THREE-HEADED MAN'S conversation about Joy begins with Jazzy's account of the death of his friend -- His friend died of Covid-19. Jazzy continues by telling of his own Covid infection, and the death of his mother from the Covid-19 virus.

Jimmy says, "Joy is in between happy and love -- it's a state." He continues by saying happy is for the self -- Joy is more mature. It is shared.

Joy is a connector -- it spreads a light quality

Phreddie, like Jazzy begins with a disappointment that he summarizes in one...

Jimmy introduces this week's topic: the sanctity of home.

Jimmy recalls that THE THREE-HEADED MAN met himself, and when he met the other two heads, he was searching for a home, a metaphysical home, and Jazzy and Phreddie happened to be in the home he found on his search, a home of brothers and sisters and oddballs

Jazzy recollects his memories and recalls that a home needs a strong foundation -- The Book of Five Rings -- first ring, the foundation, is home.

Phreddie's explains his metaphysical foundation -- security.

Jazzy leaves stuff out, stuff like his recorder, and his wife likes to dust and put things away. Jazzy uses clutter as a reminder, a reminder to do things. However, Jazzy's wife sees his recorder as clutter and puts it away in a drawer.

Phreddie asks, "Are tidy people, better people?" Jimmy adds that farmers move stuff around and leave stuff around because they will use it the next day. Farmers keep things in motion -- stuff can be left out if it is in motion and part of a project.

The Three-Headed man exclaims, "...

In this episode, "Loss", the THREE-HEADED MAN, engages in a conversation about the death of their parents and grandparents. This conversation was recorded a few days after the death of Jazzy's mother.

While playing Diablo 3 with Phreddie, Jazzy receives a phone call, his mother has passed.

"Here you are, and there you go"

Phreddie tells a story about his own death. In this moment of realization, he touches his own death and discovers its terrifying qualities. He says something like, "I don't remember my past lives. What if I don't exist after I...

Jazzy titled the show, "whatever," because whenever he tries to involve his two boys in his projects, they reply, "whatever dad."

The conversation, as it usually does, meanders.

It begins with a question of doing, and Jimmy suggests that actions can be better understood through the lens of "Want v. Need."

Jazzy and Phreddie respond to Jimmy's categories by pondering the relationship of judging, guilt, and achieving. "We're in a stream," exclaims, Jimmy. He doesn't understand static.

The conversation flows into the idea of self-direction. Jazzy self-schedules, while Phreddie confesses that...

In Episode 10, Jimmy tells us he is a seeker of play -- he plays music, and he plays while digging holes. He searches for people with playful natures. Phreddie responds by saying he plays while he works, and he is serious while he plays.

Jimmy reminds us that play is what children do, while adults tell us that play is wasting time -- children are not serious.

Jazzy and Phreddie explore the relationship of art and play. "What if I want to make something 'good,'" asks Phreddie. The discussion starts a new thread: the...

The Three-Headed Man explores connectedness. From this topic springs the topics of perception, permanent hurts, and death.

"They're alive too," says Jimmy. We know this when we connect. To give a concrete story to explain himself, Jimmy recounts a story of connecting to his dog, Skinny.

What level of connection is needed to connect to all living things? asks Jazzy. What is alive and perceiving things? Where does the thing that is perceiving things inside this body, where does it go after death?

"Perception is connection," says Jimmy.

When Jazzy moves...

"Headspace" could be misleading. It could be misconstrued. We apologize.

The Three-Headed Man recalls the books that led them to the place that began their friendship. This episode is about books and preparatory experiences. Phreddie directs Jimmy and Jazzy to consider the headspace that allowed the book to drop into their lives.
