The Joyful Mystic's Guide to the Universe

(coming soon…)

A six-week musical joyride into mystery, mirth, and meaning.

Spiritual insight via award-winning songs, unexpected stories, and belly-laugh humor—for people who want depth without dogma, and wisdom with a sense of play.

Greg Tamblyn, N.C.W.

Elevate Your Endorphins  
Amplify Your Amusement

…with six episodes of musical mirth, mindful mischief, laughter, love, and learning.
 

As Stephen Colbert says:
“Humor is a spiritual practice. No matter what happens, you are never defeated. 
You must find some way to love and laugh with each other.”

Welcome to The Joyful Mystic's Guide to the Universe — where laughter isn't a detour from the spiritual path. It's the engine.

This isn't entertainment instead of depth. It's entertainment as a delivery system for depth.

Every episode gives you practical tools to use immediately. You'll explore humor, wonder, inner guidance, Big Love, and new stories — woven together through music, laughter, and the occasional moment of genuine awe.

It’s “Ha-Ha” with an “Aha.”

The Journey, Episode by Episode

Episode 1: The Sacred and The Silly
Humor, play, silliness and laughter aren't distractions from the spiritual path — they're some of the fastest ways back to the Now. Including Greg's foolproof easy way to have fun with people all day long, and why humor is an attitude that can be cultivated, like gratitude, compassion, and forgiveness.  

Episode 2: A Brief Mystery of God
What do the best mystics and scientists actually have in common? Wonder beats certainty — and a sense of humor helps. The healthiest, most satisfying approach to life's big cosmic questions.

Episode 3: G.P.S.  1.0  
You already have inner guidance. This episode helps you recognize it, trust it, and stop second-guessing it when it shows up.

Episode 4: Soulmates or Cellmates?  
What if the most important relationship in your life is the one you're not paying enough attention to? Relationships, cultural myths, and one insight that changes everything.

Episode 5: What's Your Story?  
Why stories shape reality—and how to choose better ones, Grasshopper. 

Episode 6: Interviews
Expert interviews with nationally known voices on two of the most transformative forces in human experience.

What Begins to Change

You realize you don’t have to do the same old spirituality anymore.

You discover a path where joy isn’t a detour — it’s the engine.

You laugh and have real insight in the same sitting.

You explore big questions without needing tidy answers.

You feel lighter about life, without becoming shallow.

You remember that wonder, play, and joy belong on a grown-up spiritual path.
