Welcome to the latest episode of The Secret Teachings with Ryan Gable, where we delve into the intriguing intersection of tradition and modern "green" movements. In this thought-provoking episode, we dissect a recent CNN article that suggests ways to celebrate a "green" Thanksgiving. The article offers tips on preventing waste, dressing up dishes to preserve resources, saving scraps, and taking stock before shopping. But haven't we always done these things?

Join us as we explore the idea that these traditional practices, once rooted in stretching our money or respecting what we have, are now being co-opted by a "green" cult ideology. This ideology seems to be attempting to rewrite our traditions, history, culture, and even the way we celebrate our holidays. We'll discuss how Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends, and reflecting on abundance, whether it's modest or plentiful. It's a holiday that embodies thankfulness, gratitude, and contentment with what we have.

However, the episode goes beyond just the holiday. We question the notion of materialism and its opposition to our search for happiness and success. "What is wealth and what is excess?" we ask. We challenge the idea that we should be content with having less, or that we should feel pressured to give up our wealth and abundance to be poorer like others. Instead, we argue that our wealth and abundance should be used to help others, not as a source of guilt.

Don't miss this compelling episode as we dissect the layers of meaning behind our holiday traditions and the modern push towards a "green" lifestyle. Tune in to The Secret Teachings with Ryan Gable and join the conversation about preserving the essence of our celebrations while being mindful of our impact on the world. Listen now and let's explore these critical topics together!
