The is a very special podcast that kicks of the Ananda Teachers Series of episodes beginning with our guest Nayaswami Narayan from Ananda Village, CA at Crystal Clarity Publishing. Narayan is a fellow a disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda and a beloved teacher with Ananda Worldwide. At Swami Kriyananda's request, (Founder of Ananda) Narayan and his wife Dharmadevi moved to Los Angeles and became the spiritual directors of Ananda Los Angeles in 2010. Prior to that, they lived at Ananda Village in Northern California. There, Narayan helped manage the publishing arm of Ananda, called Crystal Clarity. Narayan and Dharmadevi were made Ananda ministers, Lightbearers, and Kriyacharyas by Nayaswami Jyotish. And earlier this year they were called back to the Ananda Village community where they now continue to serve through Crystal Clarity publishing. The conversation opens in learning about the history and high-minded principles of Ananda Village which is a thriving spiritual community of over 250 residents that was established in 1969 and is rooted in the teachings of Awakened Master Paramhansa Yogananda. Narayan shares with us the essence and wisdom behind ‘The Yoga of Abundance' which is an 8-week course currently available from the Ananda School of Meditation that offers lessons on the sacred science and art of abundance. These lessons offer powerful clarity and spiritual wisdom that we can put into practice in our lives on our quest for Self-realization, while at the same time becoming money magnets with the ability to draw to ourselves what we need, when we need it, without being attached to material wealth. These teachings open us up to the beauty of life, setting us on our course to become even minded and cheerful in every situation, without fear of loss or failure. ~ Bliss to you friends!

In this episode I'm absolutely thrilled for this opportunity to talk with Robert about his latest artistic manifestation the ‘Tantra Esoterica' Tarot Deck and Guidebook. Together we explore the universal nature of the Tarot, along with its deep symbolism and how to utilize this ancient technology to help guide and inspire us on our own quest for greatness, no matter where we are in our journey.

Our guest today is renown visionary artist Chris Dyer. In this conversion we dive deeply into Chris' life, philosophy, personal beliefs, and the creation process behind his latest painting which is a self-portrait that symbolically tells the tale of his journey as an artist and depicts some of his tests and trials, and the lessons he's learned along the way. We talk about how being an artist gives us a license to be “crazy” and to believe and express what we want in our lives without worrying about fitting in society's norms. We explore his beliefs around Sasquatches as a reincarnated alien race and his perspectives about the future of this planet, as the old systems are crumbling and making way for the new. We have a fun conversation about superheroes, supervillains, and the power of stories and mythological archetypes to help us to become better humans. We share perspectives around ChatGPT and Ai generated art, and how these new tools are affecting our lives as professional artists. Chris has also been a relentless world traveler over the years, painting murals and hosting workshops around the world. He provides insights around the anxieties and challenges that arise when traveling to foreign lands, and how he overcomes his fears and heeds the call to adventure, making the world a more colorful and positive place with the artwork that he leaves behind. For this episode, I was able to record on-site with Chris at his home studio using his video recording set-up, so while this podcast works as audio alone, this episode also features multiple camera angles as well as additional visuals accompanying the artwork, conversations and stories, so I recommend watching the video for this one on YouTube or Spotify if you can.

My podcast partner JD (Children's Storybook Author & Public Speaker) and I (Palehorse) are back to inject your day with a healthy dose of positive energy to help you to achieve your highest potential and follow your Dharma as the hero in your life's story. We share our personal stories of tests, trials, inner enemies and the resistance that often shows up like a dragon when we heed the call to better ourselves, to take creative risks, and to follow our dreams. This resistance is inevitable and a crucial aspect of the journey of the hero. Knowing this, we can be prepared mentally for whatever comes. As Yogananda tells us: ‘Challenges are not meant to crush us, but to strengthen our powers!' So be not afraid friends! You are the hero in your story, and the hero always wins through perseverance, love and devotion. We hope you enjoy this episode, and may it inspire you to push forward with courage through the waves of life, inspiring self-discipline, which illuminates the beacon of inner calmness & sweetness as your personal lighthouse when the storms come and the rocks threaten to sink your ship. When we follow the light of love and bliss relentlessly, we can overcome the dragons of resistance.

Welcome friends, I am your host visual artist Palehorse and I'm joined by my podcast partner, children's storybook author, publisher and public speaker Jason D'Rocha. in this episode we explore the fascinating ability that we all have as human beings to shuttle back and forth from the unmanifested, metaphysical realm of the Superconscious, and to bring back, like a healing elixir, creative manifestations into the physical realm.

We explore the writings of Swami Kriyananda on this topic, as well as writings from Steven Pressfield, in his book ‘The Artist's Journey.

Join Chris (Palehorse) and Jason (JD) as they pick up where we left off last week in exploration of Hanuman's 8 superpowers and how we also have these powers hidden within us. When we make up our minds to do something, nothing can stop us. Chris talks about how Hanuman is an example of true devotion, and that devotion is essential for manifesting good things in our lives. JD shares that we should aim to play big roles in our movies, rather than just playing the role of an ‘extra' and sitting by the sidelines. Hanuman teaches us that there is a time to be small and humble and there's a time to be big and powerful. There are times to be heavy and serious and there are times where we should be light and playful. In every moment we can choose between love and fear, and when we choose love, we will know the right thing to do in every moment. Please enjoy and we will be continuing to explore the 8 superpowers of Hanuman in future episodes. Blessings friends! — Chris Parks

In this special guest episode, Palehorse had the opportunity to connect with Stark Minds, who is a fascinating entrepreneur, investor, & now the Chief Community Officer for the Royal House of Medici, whose stated mission is to seed Renaissance 3.0 in our current era. Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, Stark had a unique family environment that welcomed 50+ foster children from all over the world. Through this experience, Michael learned that “everyone has a story to tell and something to contribute.” With an academic background in law, Stark was seemingly destined to pursue that world as a career, until a drastic shift came through accidentally ingesting an extremely large dose of LSD infused candy that sparked a new and more meaningful calling to humanitarian service and creativity. Stark says that “belief, commitment, vision, and creative problem solving can make all the difference wading into blue ocean.” We hope you enjoy this uplifting and futuristic exploration with us!

Chris (Palehorse) and Jason D'Rocha (Jay-D) highlight and expand upon the valuable insights shared by Michael Stark (The Royal House of Medici) during a short interview that we captured with him in Miami recently. He says that: ‘Many artists are caught up trying to make for galleries, make for audiences, to make for collectors and to make for algorithms… Tools and resources are being created for artists to own their career in profoundly different ways, and to be able to tell the stories that they are meant to tell.' Palehorse also shares his perspective on the Divine Mother goddess known in India as Kali. Palehorse also describes a powerful flip of consciousness that he and his brother Matt use during long hours painting murals to remember just how fascinating every aspect of life is when perceived and experienced as a, multi-sensory, hyper realistic, infinite, hi-def virtual reality, fractal environment. The episode closes with some inspiring teachings from Paramhansa Yogananda for Sweetness, Calmness and Happiness. Stay light and courageous fellow seekers, thinkers, artists, doers and dreamers!
