Podcasts about Awakening

Welcome to 2026, brother. In this foundational episode of the The Alpha Male Coach Podcast, Kevin opens a new chapter by returning to the core principles of awakening, alignment, and conscious leadership - while introducing a new format that will shape the year ahead.This episode sets the tone for what's coming next. As Kevin prepares to summit Mount Kilimanjaro, upcoming episodes will feature conversations with brothers who have completed the Tribe coach certification and graduated through the Academy. These men represent living examples of what happens when awakening stops being an abstract idea and becomes a lived, practical experience.At the heart of this episode is a reset to fundamentals. Kevin breaks down awakening not as a mystical or “woo” concept, but as a grounded, functional process for becoming more effective in life, relationships, and purpose. Awakening, as he frames it, is not about becoming something new - it's about remembering who you already are beneath conditioning.The episode introduces the Alpha/Beta framework and clarifies the Beta condition as a mental program: conditioned thought patterns shaped by upbringing, culture, biology, and repetition. This program filters reality, creating fear, doubt, and reactivity. The Alpha state, by contrast, is the observer - the one who watches the program, rewrites it when necessary, and restores proper cause-and-effect in life.Using the Model of Alignment, Kevin explains how thoughts create feelings, feelings drive actions, and actions produce results - and why separating thoughts from facts is the first and most essential step in reclaiming authority over your life. When the outer world stops being the cause of your inner world, you move from reaction to intention, from victimhood to authorship.From there, the episode expands into a deeper integration of three interwoven domains: the outer world (environment and circumstance), the inner world (thoughts and narratives), and the energetic world (your unseen blueprint). Kevin shows how mastery comes not from escaping these realms, but from integrating them - like piloting a ship with multiple control panels working in harmony.This framework is applied directly to real life, including dating and relationships. Kevin dismantles common misconceptions around attraction, confidence, and masculine presence, emphasizing that true connection begins with awareness of your own inner and energetic states - not manipulation, performance, or trying to read someone else's mind.The episode also introduces Human Design as a practical tool for understanding energetic mechanics beyond traditional psychology or astrology, while reinforcing a timeless truth: you will never fully know another person's inner world. Your work is to know your own.This is a return to the basics - but at a higher altitude. A call to clean the window, reclaim authorship, and step into 2026 grounded, awake, and aligned.Until next week, brother - elevate your Alpha.

Why I'm Not Happy Yet — The Power of Presence | Makes Sense with Dr. JC Why do so many people feel unhappy even while doing everything “right”—setting goals, visualizing the future, and chasing improvement? In this episode of Makes Sense with Dr. JC, Dr. JC explores the overlooked downside of personal growth culture: living for a better future while unconsciously rejecting the present moment. Through philosophical reflection, lived experience, and insights inspired by thinkers like Alan Watts, this episode reframes happiness, mindfulness, and presence. Rather than something you practice, control, or discipline yourself into, presence emerges naturally through awareness, wonder, and awe at the simple fact that you exist at all. This conversation dives into themes of mindfulness, awareness, consciousness, overthinking, fear, urgency, nature, and the illusion of separation—revealing why happiness is never found “later,” but only noticed now. If you've ever asked yourself, “Why am I still not happy yet?” this episode offers a perspective that may quietly change how you experience your life.

In this episode, Matthew “Whiz” Buckley delivers one of his most unfiltered and important debriefs to date.He opens by addressing the Somalian fraud uncovered in Minnesota, and the deep outrage it ignites in him as a combat veteran. While millions are exploited through systemic fraud, countless veterans continue to fight exhausting, dehumanizing battles to access the benefits they were promised for their service. Buckley makes one thing clear: these benefits are not handouts. They are obligations. Earned. Owed.The conversation then shifts to a year-end debrief of No Fallen Heroes Foundation and what 2025 represented. Buckley reflects on the lives impacted, the healing witnessed, and the responsibility that comes with holding space for those carrying war, trauma, addiction, and loss. He also previews what lies ahead in 2026, outlining the next phase of growth, reach, and mission expansion as the foundation continues its work to bring real healing home to veterans and their families.The second half of the episode turns deeply personal and profoundly human.Buckley shares a raw debrief of his own spiritual awakening and why it became an inseparable part of his healing journey. He speaks to the spiritual injuries that so often go unnamed, especially among veterans, and challenges the idea that healing can be complete without addressing the deeper questions of identity, meaning, and connection. Awakening, he explains, is not a sign of being broken, but a process of remembering what was always there beneath the trauma.This episode stands at the intersection of accountability, service, and transformation. It is a call to honor veterans not just with words, but with action. And it is an invitation for anyone on a healing path to understand that spiritual awakening is not separate from recovery. It is often the doorway through it.This is not a comfortable conversation.It is a necessary one.Return Home.

This conversation goes beyond surface-level motivation into the neuroscience of language and accountability.What you'll discover:- Why children under two never say "try" until shame enters- What happens in your brain when you attempt the try test- How "I'll try" creates a grab bag of excuses with zero accountabilityCarla Ondrasik spent 25 years in music publishing before writing "Stop Trying," challenging one of the most ingrained patterns in modern culture.This week's challenge: Become hyper-aware of every time you say "try"—count how many times before 10 a.m.Resources:- Carla's book "Stop Trying": https://www.amazon.com/Stop-Trying-Discover-Lifelong-Greatness/dp/1637744129- Carla's website: https://stop-trying.com- Follow Carla on Instagram: @carlaondrasikReady to go deeper?

I want to share something a little vulnerable with you. Recording solo episodes still stretches me. Even after all these years of hosting my podcast (9 years this month!), there's still a part of me that wonders, "Will this resonate? Is this what you want to hear?" And yet… lately, I keep getting the same nudge and download. In the shower. On walks. Lots of signs on the road. In quiet moments with myself. "Do more solos." "Trust your guidance." "You're here to do more healing work." So this episode is me listening to that inner voice — and trusting it. It's part of how I continue to heal my thyroid (hello throat chakra) and trust in my higher self.  Meaning, this episode is not scripted. It's not overly polished. It's a heart-centered message that wanted to come through for the beginning of this year — for you and for me. The cards I pulled made me feel like they were chosen by a divine hand. There's also a healing activation woven in, because that's what keeps wanting to emerge. Also, I was inspired to send distant Reiki

There are a lot of misconceptions of basic Buddhist teachings and in this talk Mary reflects on a few. The Buddha did not say that "Life is Suffering", but instead that there is suffering, and there is a way out. Additionally, equanimity and being present for what is, does not condone injustice or greed, hatred and ignorance. Buddhist practice is a way of being in the world and fully engaged with it.Recorded Jan. 2, 2025 in the virtual worldSend me a text with any questions or comments!

Jodi Silverman's personal journey began with the realization of an impending empty nest as her children prepared to leave home. Finding herself with a significant amount of free time, Jodi recognized that her current work in her print business was not fulfilling. Her decision to remain open to new opportunities led her to a business opportunity in direct sales, which eventually sparked her passion for personal development and coaching. Through facing her own fears, doubts, and limiting beliefs, Jodi discovered her ability to inspire and guide other midlife women. This transformative experience culminated in the creation of her DARE Method, aimed at helping women to embrace their new freedom, rediscover their passions, and live fulfilling lives beyond motherhood.   What You Will Hear in This Episode:    02:03 Jodi's Personal Journey and Realizations 04:15 Overcoming Limiting Beliefs and Fears 08:35 Creating a Business from Personal Growth 12:00 Common Challenges of the Empty Nest 13:23 Navigating Friendships After Children Leave Home 14:25 The Dual Identity of Working Moms 15:01 Overcoming Fear and Doubt in New Beginnings 16:13 The DARE Method: Deciding and Awakening 18:14 Rediscovering Old Passions and Hobbies 20:57 Volunteering for Fulfillment and Connection 23:02 Midlife Transformation and Personal Growth 25:27 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   Quotes   " Women often find their purpose in the process of overcoming their own challenges.

LESSON 6I Am Upset Because I See Something That Is Not There.The exercises with this idea are very similar to the preceding ones. Again, it is necessary to name both the form of upset (anger, fear, worry, depression and so on) and the perceived source very specifically for any application of the idea.For example:I am angry at because I see something that is not there.I am worried about because I see something that is not there.Today's idea is useful for application to anything that seems to upset you, and can profitably be used throughout the day for that purpose. However, the three or four practice periods which are required should be preceded by a minute or so of mind searching, as before, and the application of the idea to each upsetting thought uncovered in the search.Again, if you resist applying the idea to some upsetting thoughts more than to others, remind yourself of the two cautions stated in the previous lesson:There are no small upsets.They are all equally disturbing to my peace of mind.And:I cannot keep this form of upset and let the others go.For the purposes of these exercises, then, I will regard them all as the same.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

In this soul-centered solo episode of A Psychic's Story, Nichole Bigley offers a grounded and expansive exploration of purpose — not as an end destination, job title or life role, but as a lived experience of alignment. Nichole explores the idea that while you carry a unique soul resonance — how that resonance expresses itself unfolds over time, across seasons, decades, and life chapters. Purpose is not something you miss or fall behind on — it is something you live day-by-day through your choices, presence, and relationship with yourself. Throughout the episode, Nichole reflects on free will, divine timing, spiritual awakenings, and the moments when life feels loud or misaligned — not as failures, but as invitations for you to realign with how you want to express and live your life. Tune in to hear Nichole explore: Why purpose isn't just one thing nor a single destination. How purpose ties into the concept of a “North Star.” What it means for you to live in alignment with your soul's unique resonance. How free will and everyday choices shape your life path. Why awakenings don't only happen at rock bottom — but also at the height of success. How roles, responsibilities, and identities can often pull you out of alignment. How you can recognize intuitive guidance when life feels restless or “off.” Nichole also shares details about “Awakening Your Soul's Path,” the January workshop inside The Psychic Club, which follows her channeled Purpose Path™ process, along with a stand-alone virtual version for those outside the membership. If this episode stirred something within you, it's not accidental. Purpose isn't waiting for you somewhere else — it's already unfolding through how you live your life.

In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen speaks with transformational guide Sascha Haert to explore the deeper architecture of intimacy, embodiment, and authentic relating. Sascha works with women leaders who have achieved external success but still feel disconnected from themselves. Together, they unpack why relational patterns repeat, how to build partnerships rooted in truth rather than performance, and what it means to live from your deepest intelligence, the intelligence of the body.This conversation illuminates the subtle ways we abandon ourselves, how to reclaim our needs with integrity, and why intimacy always begins with honest self-resonance.“Intimacy only works when you stop performing and start telling the truth — not the dramatic truth, but the embodied one.” — Sascha HaertKey TakeawaysWhy many high-performing individuals struggle with intimacy and self-connectionHow the nervous system shapes our ability to stay open, present, and receptiveThe two pillars that Sascha believes every relationship needs to thriveHow to express truth without collapsing into reactivity or performanceWhy sensuality is a doorway to self-awareness, not just pleasureHow polyamory can act as a healing phase — and where it becomes a bypassPractical tools to speak the unspoken and build authentic connectionsHow to recognize and stop subtle self-abandonment in real timeThe difference between compatibility and resonanceWhat it means to live from “yes” instead of fear, obligation, or patternYou can find Sascha Haert on IG here.

LESSON 5I Am Never Upset For The Reason I Think.This idea, like the preceding one, can be used with any person, situation or event you think is causing you pain. Apply it specifically to whatever you believe is the cause of your upset, using the description of the feeling in whatever term seems accurate to you. The upset may seem to be fear, worry, depression, anxiety, anger, hatred, jealousy or any number of forms, all of which will be perceived as different. This is not true. However, until you learn that form does not matter, each form becomes a proper subject for the exercises for the day. Applying the same idea to each of them separately is the first step in ultimately recognizing they are all the same.When using the idea for today for a specific perceived cause of an upset in any form, use both the name of the form in which you see the upset, and the cause which you ascribe to it. For example:I am not angry at _______ for the reason I think.I am not afraid of _______ for the reason I think.But again, this should not be substituted for practice periods in which you first search your mind for “sources” of upset in which you believe, and forms of upset which you think result.In these exercises, more than in the preceding ones, you may find it hard to be indiscriminate, and to avoid giving greater weight to some subjects than to others. It might help to precede the exercises with the statement:There are no small upsets.They are all equally disturbing to my peace of mind.Then examine your mind for whatever is distressing you, regardless of how much or how little you think it is doing so.You may also find yourself less willing to apply today's idea to some perceived sources of upset than to others. If this occurs, think first of this:I cannot keep this form of upset and let the others go.For the purposes of these exercises, then,I will regard them all as the same.Then search your mind for no more than a minute or so, and try to identify a number of different forms of upset that are disturbing you, regardless of the relative importance you may give them. Apply the idea for today to each of them, using the name of both the source of the upset as you perceive it, and of the feeling as you experience it. Further examples are:I am not worried about _______ for the reason I think.I am not depressed about _______ for the reason I think.Three or four times during the day is enough.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Are you looking for a community of spiritually minded people? Tune in for an inspiring discussion with founder Sylvia Leifheit on the hot new app SPINE The Spiritual Network. Moments with Marianne airs in the Southern California area on KMET1490AM & 98.1 FM, an ABC Talk News Radio Affiliate!  https://www.kmet1490am.comSylvia Leifheit is the founder and visionary behind SPINE – The Spiritual Network, the first social media platform founded by a woman that puts the soul at the center. A former actress and media entrepreneur, Sylvia created SPINE as a global hub where seekers and holistic healers finally find each other—instantly, credibly, and without noise. In a world that prizes cars, status, and speed over mental, emotional, and spiritual health, the wisdom of healers is undervalued and too often invisible. SPINE changes that. The app makes healers visible and accessible, worldwide in 175 countries and 3 languages, giving people one place to discover guidance, book support, and grow with like-minded community. https://www.spine.app/enFor more show information visit: https://www.mariannepestana.com/

LESSON 4These Thoughts Do Not Mean Anything.Unlike the preceding ones, these exercises do not begin with the idea for the day. In these practice periods, begin with noting the thoughts that are crossing your mind for about a minute. Then apply the idea to them. If you are already aware of unhappy thoughts, use them as subjects for the idea. Do not, however, select only the thoughts you think are “bad.” You will find, if you train yourself to look at your thoughts, that they represent such a mixture that, in a sense, none of them can be called “good” or “bad.” This is why they do not mean anything.In selecting the subjects for the application of today's idea, the usual specificity is required. Do not be afraid to use “good” thoughts as well as “bad.” None of them represents your real thoughts, which are being covered up by them. The “good” ones are but shadows of what lies beyond, and shadows make sight difficult. The “bad” ones are blocks to sight, and make seeing impossible. You do not want either.This is a major exercise, and will be repeated from time to time in somewhat different form. The aim here is to train you in the first steps toward the goal of separating the meaningless from the meaningful. It is a first attempt in the long-range purpose of learning to see the meaningless as outside you, and the meaningful within. It is also the beginning of training your mind to recognize what is the same and what is different.In using your thoughts for application of the idea for today, identify each thought by the central figure or event it contains; for example:This thought about _______ does not mean anything.It is like the things I see in this room [on this street, and so on].You can also use the idea for a particular thought that you recognize as harmful. This practice is useful, but is not a substitute for the more random procedures to be followed for the exercises. Do not, however, examine your mind for more than a minute or so. You are too inexperienced as yet to avoid a tendency to become pointlessly preoccupied.Further, since these exercises are the first of their kind, you may find the suspension of judgment in connection with thoughts particularly difficult. Do not repeat these exercises more than three or four times during the day. We will return to them later.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

There is a phase of spiritual awakening where nothing feels wrong, yet nothing feels clear. Your old life no longer fits, guidance feels quieter, and the new hasn't fully landed yet.In this episode, I talk about the overlooked integration phase of awakening and why this disorientation occurs. Understanding what's happening can help you move through this phase with more trust, stability, and patience. This quiet phase is part of how clarity and embodiment return.

THE AWAKENING OF CHINA'S ECONOMY Colleague Anne Stevenson-Yang, Wild Ride. Returning to China in 1994, the author witnessed a transformation from the destitute, Maoist uniformity of 1985 to a budding export economy. In the earlier era, workers slept on desks and lacked basic goods, but Deng Xiaoping's realization that the state needed hard currency prompted reforms. Deng established Special Economic Zones like Shenzhen to generate foreign capital while attempting to isolate the population from foreign influence, marking the start of China's export boom.

What if your sexuality wasn't something to fix, perform, or achieve, but a sacred life force that could heal childhood wounds, dissolve unconscious patterns, and open you into deeper love, remembrance of your true nature, and altered states of consciousness?In this intimate, expansive conversation, Nadine is joined by returning guest Rahi Chun to explore how sexual energy and conscious lovemaking can become portals to deep intimacy, liberation, and aliveness.Rahi Chun is a Certified Somatic Sex Educator & Genital De-Armoring Specialist, as well as a globally recognized practitioner, educator, and speaker at the intersection of somatic healing, sexual wellness, trauma integration, and spiritual embodiment. His fascination with attuning to and serving the body's innate wisdom & life force is rooted in lived experience, academic rigor, and cross-cultural initiation.✨ In this episode, we explore:• Why sexuality is not a goal-oriented act, but a vehicle for healing, spiritual union, and self-realization• What extended lovemaking actually is, and how sensitizing ourselves to subtle pleasure changes everything• How sexual energy meets us exactly where we are in our nervous system and consciousness• The hidden link between childhood survival strategies and adult intimacy blocks• Why trying to “get the orgasm” is often the very thing preventing it• How learning to truly receive rewires not just sex, but money, love, creativity, and life• The power of one-way touch, choice, and voice in reclaiming desire and agency• How erotic energy can surface buried childhood wounds and gently metabolize & integrate them• What to do when long-term partners feel like roommates, and how to reawaken desire without pressure• Loving your genitals, slowing down, and relating to intimacy as a laboratory of play, discovery, and curiosity______________

Vadanya explores three great Buddhist symbols that describe the way things are: the wheel of life, the spiral path and the ultimate goal of Enlightenment. Together they form a guide to escape from the ultimate vicious circle into the complete freedom and fulfilment of Awakening.

LESSON 3I Do Not Understand Anything I See.Apply this idea in the same way as the previous ones, without making distinctions of any kind. Whatever you see becomes a proper subject for applying the idea.Be sure that you do not question the suitability of anything for application of the idea. These are not exercises in judgment. Anything is suitable if you see it. Some of the things you see may have emotionally-charged meaning for you. Try to lay such feelings aside, and merely use these things exactly as you would anything else.The point of the exercises is to help you clear your mind of all past associations, to see things exactly as they appear to you now, and to realize how little you really understand about them.It is therefore essential that you keep a perfectly open mind, unhampered by judgment, in selecting the things to which the idea for the day is to be applied. For this purpose one thing is like another; equally suitable and therefore equally useful.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Transcript:Ca: A la freda claror de l'hivern, quan el sol es filtrava tímidament entre els arbres, el Parc Güell despertava el seu encís màgic.En: In the cold light of winter, when the sun timidly filtered through the trees, Parc Güell awakened its magical charm.Ca: Els mosaics brillants sobre les parets i bancs de Gaudí reflectien petits flaixos de colors.En: The bright mosaics on Gaudí's walls and benches reflected small flashes of colors.Ca: Oriol s'asseia en un racó tranquil del parc, envoltat de l'esplendor de Barcelona.En: Oriol sat in a quiet corner of the park, surrounded by the splendor of Barcelona.Ca: Amb les festes de Reis recentment passades, l'ambient encara era un xic festiu als carrers.En: With the Reis festivities recently passed, the atmosphere was still a bit festive in the streets.Ca: Oriol, però, sentia un pes al cor, envoltat de llenços i aquarel·les.En: Oriol, however, felt a weight in his heart, surrounded by canvases and watercolors.Ca: El seu somni era simple: volia que les seves obres es fessin un espai als salons d'art de la ciutat.En: His dream was simple: he wanted his works to find a place in the city's art salons.Ca: Però la inseguretat envers el seu estil únic el turmentava.En: But his insecurity about his unique style tormented him.Ca: Al seu costat, Martina, la seva amiga i mentora ocasional, mirava els quadres amb atenció.En: Beside him, Martina, his friend and occasional mentor, looked at the paintings attentively.Ca: "És la teva oportunitat, Oriol", li va dir.En: "This is your opportunity, Oriol," she told him.Ca: "Has de triar les peces que realment parlen de tu".En: "You have to choose the pieces that truly speak of you."Ca: Però Oriol vacil·lava.En: But Oriol hesitated.Ca: Quina era la seva essència artística?En: What was his artistic essence?Ca: L'opinió dels altres pesava més que el seu instint.En: The opinion of others weighed more than his instinct.Ca: A prop, Jordi, un conegut del cercle artístic, es va afegir a la conversa.En: Nearby, Jordi, a familiar face in the artistic circle, joined the conversation.Ca: "Oriol, aquests són bons", va assenyalar, però no amb gaire entusiasme.En: "Oriol, these are good," he pointed out, but not with much enthusiasm.Ca: "Però el jurat esperarà alguna cosa revolucionària".En: "But the jury will expect something revolutionary."Ca: Les seves paraules van augmentar el dubte d'Oriol.En: His words increased Oriol's doubts.Ca: En un moment de coratge, va decidir.En: In a moment of courage, he decided.Ca: Confiaria en ell mateix.En: He would trust himself.Ca: Va escollir peces que, malgrat que no seguien la tendència, ressonaven amb la seva veritat interior.En: He chose pieces that, although they did not follow the trend, resonated with his inner truth.Ca: Martina li va dedicar un somriure d'ànim.En: Martina gave him an encouraging smile.Ca: "Estàs fent el correcte", va assegurar-li.En: "You're doing the right thing," she assured him.Ca: L'exposició va tenir lloc en una sala vibrant del parc, on l'arquitectura natural i acolorida feia ressaltar cada obra.En: The exhibition took place in a vibrant room of the park, where the natural and colorful architecture made each work stand out.Ca: Les sales estaven plenes de visitants emocionats.En: The rooms were full of excited visitors.Ca: Oriol caminava nerviós entre ells, observant les seves reaccions.En: Oriol walked nervously among them, observing their reactions.Ca: De sobte, una veu ressonant es va dirigir a ell.En: Suddenly, a resonant voice addressed him.Ca: Un crític reconegut de la seva veu greu i respectada va començar a parlar amb Oriol.En: A renowned critic, known for their deep and respected voice, began to speak with Oriol.Ca: "Aquestes peces són fascinants", va dir, "però et falta credibilitat en algunes línies".En: "These pieces are fascinating," they said, "but you're lacking credibility in some lines."Ca: Oriol va sentir que el món li queia a sobre, però el crític va afegir, "però hi ha una passió genuïna que és difícil d'ignorar".En: Oriol felt the world falling on him, but the critic added, "but there is a genuine passion that is hard to ignore."Ca: Després d'una llarga conversa, Oriol va entendre la necessitat d'abraçar la crítica com un camí per créixer.En: After a long conversation, Oriol understood the need to embrace criticism as a path to growth.Ca: Els visitants van començar a elogiar la seva feina, deixant-li paraules amables i motivadores.En: The visitors started to praise his work, leaving him kind and motivating words.Ca: Va ser un gir inesperat.En: It was an unexpected turn.Ca: Amb l'ànima més lleugera, Oriol va sortir de la sala, sentint el fred hivern al seu rostre, amb una nova determinació.En: With a lighter soul, Oriol left the room, feeling the winter cold on his face, with a new determination.Ca: Aquella experiència l'havia renovat.En: That experience had renewed him.Ca: Ara era més segur en el seu camí artístic i estava obert a descobrir nous estils.En: Now he was more assured in his artistic path and open to discovering new styles.Ca: Al final, l'encant del Parc Güell i l'admiració dels espectadors van aconseguir que el simple nen que somiava amb l'art es convertís en un artista amb confiança, preparat per escriure la seva pròpia història al món de l'art.En: In the end, the charm of Parc Güell and the admiration of the spectators managed to transform the simple boy who dreamed of art into an artist with confidence, ready to write his own story in the art world.

Welcome to 2026, brothers.This episode is a return to the foundations. A reset. A reorientation to what this work has always been about.As we move into a new year, it's easy to get pulled toward advanced concepts, elevated language, and high-level spiritual ideas. But real mastery doesn't begin at the top. It begins at the beginning. And in this episode, we go back to the core principles of cognitive mastery, awakening, and the Alpha State.At the heart of this conversation is a simple but profound framework: the three worlds. The outer world, the inner world, and the energetic world.The outer world is the physical world. It's the world we all share. Bodies, money, relationships, environments, circumstances, results. It is neutral. It is dense. It is obvious. Science understands this world well because it is observable and measurable.The inner world is the mental world. Your thoughts. Your feelings. Your narratives. Your conditioning. This world is private. No one has access to it but you. And yet, this inner world is the cause of how you experience the outer world. Your thoughts generate feelings. Feelings drive actions. Actions create results. And those results reinforce the thoughts. This is the universal truth. This is the Model of Alignment.The energetic world is the most subtle of all. It's your aura. Your spiritual blueprint. The field you move through and leave behind as you interact with people, places, money, opportunity, and life itself. Most men have very little conscious access to this layer, not because it isn't real, but because it is quiet. Subtle. Working behind the scenes.In this episode, I explain how all three of these worlds are happening simultaneously. They are not separate. They are integrated into one unified human experience. And above all three is the Alpha State. The watcher. Consciousness itself. The unified awareness that sees all three worlds clearly without being trapped inside any of them.This is where awakening begins.Not by becoming something new. Not by self-improvement or self-judgment. But by remembering what you've always been.The first step in this process is kindergarten-level simple and lifelong profound: separating thoughts from facts. Over and over again. Until it becomes second nature. Until you can clearly see the difference between the neutral outer world and the stories you're running about it.This is why the Brotherhood exists. It is the entry point. The foundation. The place where men begin the awakening process by mastering the basics: buffering, relationships, money mindset, and the Model of Alignment. This is where you learn to see the program you've been running and consciously choose a new one.In this episode, I also introduce what's coming in 2026, including deeper work inside the Academy and my own Impossible Goal for the year, which I'll be updating throughout the podcast as it unfolds.This episode is an invitation.An invitation to remember who you are.An invitation to step into the Alpha State.An invitation to begin again—properly, deliberately, and consciously.Welcome to 2026, brothers.Elevate your Alpha.

On New Year's Day, Cyndera Quackenbush welcomes Julienne (Jules) Givot back to the Archetypal Tarot Podcast to revive a long-standing tradition: a collective archetypal and tarot reflection for the coming year. The episode serves as a contemplative portal blending tarot, archetypal psychology, lived experience, and cultural reflection after a difficult and grief-laden 2025. The core archetype drawn for the year is The Amateur, selected from the Identity Pursuit archetype board game (no longer in print). Rather than framing the future through mastery or expertise, the hosts explore the Amateur as a figure of humility, love, experimentation, and community. Light aspects of the Amateur: Doing something for love rather than reward or compensation Following the heart without needing certainty or expertise Allowing messiness, openness, and shared learning Creating the path by walking it, together Shadow aspects: Undervaluing oneself or one's work Exaggerating or misrepresenting skill or authority Cultural dangers of “false experts” and influencer culture lacking depth, lineage, or accountability The Amateur becomes a response to collapsing patriarchal systems, toxic productivity, and ego-driven power structures. In a time of upheaval, the hosts argue that not knowing—and admitting we don't know—is both honest and necessary. Community Over Heroism A recurring insight is the movement away from the lone hero narrative. Healing and survival are framed as collective, relational processes, not individual burdens. The Amateur archetype supports community-based learning, mutual care, and shared responsibility, especially amid political violence, war, and systemic injustice. Cyndera shares personal experiences offering donation-based tarot readings illustrating how amateur energy can reduce pressure, invite openness, and foster authentic connection—while still raising questions about value, sustainability, and self-worth. Two additional archetype cards pop out in the podcast! Listen in to hear all about The Poet and The Victim. Tarot Card for 2026: Judgment Cyndera draws Judgment from the Major Arcana, using Natasia Rowland's Tarot Emblemata deck. Key interpretations: Awakening after devastation Truth revealed; what was hidden can no longer stay hidden Liberation from old constraints (symbolized by broken shackles) A collective rising—not individual salvation Judgment is framed not as punishment, but as reckoning, clarity, and rebirth. It echoes upcoming astrological themes (notably the Fire Horse year) suggesting that small sparks from 2025 may explode into unavoidable illumination in 2026. The hosts close by weaving the Amateur and Judgment together: It's okay not to know. It's not all on our shoulders. Love, community, creativity, and faith (in whatever form) are sustaining forces. The future is not about perfection or mastery, but participation. Mantra for 2026: Be amateurs. Love what you do. Rise together. 2 + 0 + 2 + 6 = 10. After the recording of the podcast (on January 1) a rainbow was visible in Joshua Tree, CA. Is it possible that collectively we can welcome a “10 of Cups” kind of year?    

LESSON 2I Have Given Everything I See All The Meaning That It Has For Me.The exercises with this idea are the same as those for the first one. Begin with the things that are near you, and apply the idea to whatever your glance rests on. Then increase the range outward. Turn your head so that you include whatever is on either side. If possible, turn around and apply the idea to what was behind you. Remain as indiscriminate as possible in selecting subjects for its application, do not concentrate on anything in particular, and do not attempt to include everything you see in a given area, or you will introduce strain.Merely glance easily and fairly quickly around you, trying to avoid selection by size, brightness, color, material, or relative importance to you. Take the subjects simply as you see them. Try to apply the exercise with equal ease to a body or a button, a fly or a floor, an arm or an apple. The sole criterion for applying the idea to anything is merely that your eyes have lighted on it. Make no attempt to include anything particular, but be sure that nothing is specifically excluded.- Jesus Christ in ACIM
