347-UNIVERSE

“Is the Universe an unintelligent, random, amalgamation of elements and time as science tells us it is? What about those who ascribe some form of spirituality to the Universe?

In today’s podcast, post and video, I will reveal how both of these perspectives end in either irrationality or idolatry.

Join me now as we see beyond our triggers, and beyond the universe, to discover how to repatriate the word “God” and why it’s the most rational and worthy term for the power which is behind, in and through everything. 

332-Famous Last Words 7- The Father will send a Helper

“What makes a person ‘Spiritual?’ What do people mean when they talk about the Holy Spirit?”

In today’s podcast and post we continue in our study of Jesus’ Famous Last Words with a look at his promise: ‘I will ask the Father and He will send a Helper.’ What could this have meant to the disciples at that time, and what does it mean for us today?

Join me now as we deconstruct this promise from within the context of this passage and discover that a spiritual life is not something we possess or live to get, but something we are and a place from which we live.

302-ReThinking Anxiety and Insomnia

“Do you suffer from anxiety or insomnia? Maybe you need a new definition…

In today’s podcast and post I propose an alternative way to view anxiety and insomnia. As someone who has suffered with these for much of my life, I have discovered a profoundly liberating framework from which I’ve found a lasting sense of peace and rest.

Join me now as I offer a new definition of anxiety which invites us to consider that these are not problems for which we must seek treatment, but are instead invitations to a deeper dimension of life.

256-The Hostile Mind

“Do you have a hostile mind or is it only “those people” who do?

In today’s podcast and post we take a look at the fastest growing religion in the world: Politics. We’ll explore why it has generated so much power, and ignites such hatred and division among us. Is there any hope for our world?

Join me now as we see beyond the quagmire of the political binary and explore how it’s possible for this dividing line of hostility to be eradicated, and how the world can be set free from its bondage to a hostile mind and healed through the power of love.

254-Mistaken Identity

“How often do you get angry or offended?”

It might surprise you to discover that “THOSE PEOPLE” are actually not making you angry or offending you. In today’s podcast and post, I expose the real reason why so many things trigger us and set us off.

Join me now as we see beyond our mistaken identity and gain the only perspective that can actually free us from basing our identity upon things that can’t actually define us.

242- We are ALL being Played

“What do you think is happening in our world?”

If you think we are watching our communities react to the pain of social injustice, look closer. Both sides are being played like a well-tuned instrument. The pressure to pit us against one another has never been stronger, but if you think the reason is political, your still not seeing it.

In today’s podcast and post I will unveil the pernicious assault on the human soul and the only way to stop it. Join me now for a podcast that none of us will like as we see beyond our pain and anger into the power behind the whole mess.

227- The Healing Practice-Part 2: Breath & Healing

Trying to capture all that glimpses of what goes into my practices takes more time than I thought. In part two we look at how breath, wind or Spirit is a grounding principle and how I use it to initiate the flow of displacement within my life. I explore the dangers of getting the flow in the wrong direction and how to bring others and our larger concerns of the world into this dynamic exchange.

221-When the Body Won’t Heal

Have you ever pleaded with God for bodily healing and your prayer went unanswered?”

Nothing produces more unbelief than unanswered prayers, especially those for bodily healing. The disposition of the heart which arises from unbelief turns us into the Veruca Salt which demands her father grant her every request immediately. 

In today’s podcast and post, I will explain why if we are asking for bodily healing, why it may not come right away. Staying in faith is not a cop-out, but the only way to gain the necessary precondition for transformative healing.

Join me now as we see beyond what we thought was the unanswered prayer.

179- When our Focus IS the Distraction

“What is your biggest distraction?”

Most of us intuitively view distractions as derailments. They are a shift of focus from a more import object to a less important object. I think we all get this at a basic level. 

In today’s podcast and post I will take us deeper beyond the objects of distraction, and show why changing our focus doesn’t always solve the problem.

Join me now as we learn to see beyond the objects of our distraction and gain a glimpse of the single subject that exists just below the surface of everything.

The End of the Fake ID

 

“Do you have a fake I.D. ? Do you have an alias?

 In today’s broadcast I offer a simple quiz to see if we are living with a fake I.D.  I also show just how pervasive the false self is within our lives and religion as well as social sciences are on a quest to our true self.

Join me now as we take a bunch of psychobabble and quickly turn it on its head as we see beyond our pseudonym and learn what ultimately happens to everything false.
