The 5D Academy with Zarathustra explores universal wisdom to foster total freedom from suffering in all areas of your life; health, wealth, love, and self. Each Academy podcast contains valuable insights and takeaways to become the best version of yourself and create an authentic, fulfilling life. Zarathustra transmits 5th Dimensional Quantum frequencies in each episode with transformational tools while discussing different topics to help you maintain this new frequency in your daily life. Zarathustra has created a practical system of transmitting the truth to his audience allowing transformation and freedom from suffering. Spiritual development requires an open heart. It is virtually impossible for a seeker to advance to higher consciousness if they don't love themselves. The belief system which has been ingrained in our cellular memory from childhood that we are not good enough results in a conditioned mind. The conditioned mind holds the false belief that there is something missing in our lives, that we are incomplete, that we need to gain something in order to become happy and whole, which is not true. After a life time of searching, Zarathustra has blended a practical system of Eastern and Western methods and techniques to help the Academy members to free themselves from anxiety, negative thoughts, lack of self-love and self-acceptance and destructive emotional patterns through a systematic way to raise your vibration to 5D Vibrational Frequency, which enables you to live a vibrant life of freedom and happiness. The Key Elements To Freedom: Zarathustra recognizes continuity and consistency are the key elements to freedom. In order to help you achieve your spiritual goals, it's best to have a highly effective spiritual practice, free of dogmas, false beliefs and superstition that helps you raise your vibration to 5D Vibrational Frequency as well as the ability to maintain this newly found higher level of consciousness. This translates to a life filled with inner peace, self-love and happiness which is the goal of every spiritual seeker. New knowledge and benefits are gained with each replay.

In this Mother's Day message from the Manifest series, Pastor Hazen Stevens explores the spiritual power of intercession through the lives of Hannah and Mary. Prayer is more than words—it is labor. Through the strength of the Holy Spirit, we are invited to carry burdens, travail in prayer, and partner with God for things far beyond our own personal story.From Hannah's fervent cries in the temple to Mary's surrendered “yes,” this message reveals how God works through yielded people who are willing to pray for generations, cities, and futures they may never fully see. The Spirit helps us pray when words fail, groaning through us with heaven's purposes.Key Scriptures:1 Samuel 1–2, Luke 1:46–55, Romans 8:14–27, Galatians 4:19, James 5:16Main Points:1. Prayer is spiritual labor that births things into the world2. Hannah's fervent intercession moved heaven and shaped a nation3. The Holy Spirit leads us to pray beyond our own story4. Mary's surrendered “yes” carried generational impact5. The Spirit intercedes through us when we don't know how to pray6. God is calling believers to become spiritual mothers and fathers through ongoing prayer and surrender➤ For more, visit www.presencecenteredlife.comNotes:https://docs.google.com/document/d/154KYG_u5T2X2EDTQOr8RLwscdXw5y8Dvl-VHP8Hj8WM/edit?usp=sharing#ManifestSeries #SpiritualMothers #Intercession #PrayerChangesThings #HolySpirit #Romans8 #PresenceCenteredLife #GateCityBuckhead #SundaySermon #ChristianPodcast
