Sometimes our feelings overwhelm us. That's when we need to get real still and simplify our lives. Other times our feelings are a puzzle to us: why am I feeling this particular way, especially when it's a not-good feeling that disturbs our peace of mind. Here teZa explores and arrives at a valuable lesson, sharing this intimate self-exploratory technique with you. #feelingsarenotfacts #feelingsareteachers #ourfeelings #spiritualtools #learningtobespiritual #selfknowkedge #selfscrutiny #exploreyourfeelings See tezalord.com for #visionarybooks #spiritualart #higherperspectiveideas

What's important to know here is that how we thinkis how we are, mentally, physically, spiritually. What thoughts we hold in our mind determines our experience—NOT what's happening on the outside.

Albert Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than Knowledge.” Cohosts teZa and Carter Lord share how they navigate through life's smorgasbord of current issues facing humankind: Global and Local Leadership Challenges. Fear vs Encouragement. Localized Wars Escalating. Personal Growth. Social-Racial-Religious Conflicts. Environmental Discoveries. Negative Thinking.  Constructive Debates. Celebrations. Hope. Love. Harmony. Human Neurosis. The Sacred in Everyday human existence is as diversified as a family of ten sitting down to a meal. See carterlord.com and tezalord.com for more. 

Life on planet Earth is getting more tense by the moment. Some of us though, see all challenges as opportunities for choosing how to live in conflicted times — responding, not reacting, with peace and calm instead of revenge and violent solutions. Our cohosts teZa and Carter Lord share their perspectives on the hyper-explosive situation in the Middle East, compounded by the ongoing conflict between the dominance of Russia over the fighting-for-survival Ukraine. See tezalord.com and carterlord.com for more about the hosts. Comments or suggestions: zlordpodcast@gmail.com 

Whether a world crisis or a personal resentment, we all contribute to elevating our world (or not) by the action we choose to take. In this episode, cohosts Carter and teZa Lord talk about the recent atrocities in the Middle East's Gaza, and how we can relate this show-down between extremist-Hamas and Israel in the bigger world arena—to having a resentment against our neighbor, something all of us can relate to. See tezalord.com and carterlord.com for more about hosts. 

After last week's unprecedented violence by Hamas extremists in Israel's Gaza Strip, cohost teZa and Carter Lord attempt to explain their relationship with the Divine, the blatant cause of too many wars. For these two long-marrieds, they experience the Sacred through both personal inner experiences, like meditation and serving others, as well as through spiritual teachings, such as “The Word” offered in religious texts. Both defend their very different stands on the modern question of: “Is God dead?” debated by various seekers and anti-religious alike. The Lords' conclusion? Yes! ALL Religions serve as a beacon of hope for many in our otherwise insane world. But extremists—of any ilk—can make anything a trip to hell with their narrow, intolerant interpretation of what is, in essence, simply one's version of goodness: being a decent human being.

All of us face many unknowns. Our health could be threatened or we might lose a loved one suddenly, or any of a long list of worrisome “could be's” accompanies each of us, every day. In this episode Carter reveals to cohost teZa his concerns over a serious surgical complication that has arisen from his recent joint replacement. With good cheer the pair discuss the endless possibilities of both life—and death. The hosts agreed with Warf the feisty Clingon of Star Trek fame, who says at any given opportunity—“It's a good day to die!” See tezalord.com and carterlord.com for more about the hosts. 

Cohosts teZa and Carter Lord discuss a subject everyone can relate to these days—how not to despair over the many crises our world has: the bio-diversity gloom, the threat of escalation over the Ukraine war, the crippling political divide, ongoing racial and economic imbalance. Here we offer REAL and true ways of not allowing these realities to overwhelm either our personal life—or the fate of our beloved planet Earth. See tezalord.com and carterlord.com 

Yea, we can! Yes, we can help transform any challenge by changing the way we think. Cohosts Carter and teZa Lord discuss specific steps we can all take to change fear and disappointments into hope, loving energy—and by so doing—discover positive creative solutions for virtually any difficulty we meet personally or collectively. See tezalord.com and carterlord.com 

Human communication keeps getting better the more we become aware, and practice in our everyday happenings. Being aware of awareness is key to self-growth as well as to interacting with others. In this episode cohosts Carter and teZa Lord share insights, experiences, and proven techniques they use that have helped this long-coupled pair get better at listening, the basis of true, unbiased communication skills. See tezalord.com and carterlord.com 

After a much-needed break, with time to heal and reflect, ZLORD's cohosts teZa and Carter Lord return, refreshed and renewed! With a new focus that was announced in the last episode: sharing about the environmental crisis. The conversation's energy is vivacious and soul-baring. Both hosts are in unique positions to disseminate their individual perspectives. Carter, who is a barefoot entrepreneur, has made two feature films honoring humankind's relationship to Nature, and currently created many YouTube shorts. teZa, a barefoot botanical illustrator, visionary author of many Nature wisdom books, is a born-again farm girl and former ex-pat who sailed Third World islands for a decade. Together, these 3-decade-long lovers of each other and planet Earth care about what matters most, always! See tezalord.com and carterlord.com

There comes a time in everyone's life—and in this case, our four fun years of podcasting about life's journey itself—when a crossroads is reached. In this episode cohosts teZa and Carter discuss her recent period of reflection, and how she's made an important and necessary decision (she is, after all, the motivating force behind the creation of ZLORD podcast). So now—the tipping point of human awareness and openness to expressing compassion for our planet has been reached. It is time (it's never too late!) to help raise awareness of our Earth's climate crisis, and what we—as both individuals and as a blended family of humankind—can do to make a difference in solving it. Change begins with awareness. See tezalord.com and carterlord.com 

From the smallest change to the ultimate, everything in our life—everything!—rests on how aware we are of the immense power of the mind. Cohosts teZa and Carter Lord discuss how they came to learn this, and share how to make even so-called “bad” things into joyous experiences. See carterlord.com  and tezalord.com for more info. 

How we think is how our individual life evolves. Thoughts influence our health, happiness, and peace of mind—or bring discomfort, imbalance, even disease to our physical and mental states. In this episode teZa and Carter Lord discuss the reasons why they choose (after experiencing discouraging effects of erroneous thinking) to accept differences without judgement. Reasons are given why the common labels of “good or bad”—about anything —ought not be used for things/people/ideas different than our own preferences. Judging always results in unhealthy effects, in society, in our private lives. Yet exercising discrimination is essential: it's a necessary part of self reflection, an integral part of a balanced spiritual approach to life. See tezalord.com and carterlord.com for more cohosts. 

It's “old and selfish thinking” to strive only for personal fulfillment. The current state of our glorious world, toxic in so many respects, is for us to cooperate as a united blended family of humankind and focus on reversing the human-made damage to our planet's environment. Cohosts teZa and Carter Lord offer listeners workable ways as suggestions to make this spiritual quest a reality. This is a call to Act NOW. Commit to cooperative environmental efforts of your particular choosing. See tezalord.com and carterlord.com for more of ZLORD's 3 decades-married hosts. 

No matter what's going on externally, everyone has free will and can create a sense of acceptance, gratitude, and forgiveness with even non-free situations. Helpful ways to focus on this inner freedom are shared by cohosts Carter and teZa Lord.
