People often ask Swami a very specific question: "What kind of God do you believe in?" But in truth, they aren't just asking for a name. They are asking about the fundamental nature of the "type" of God he believes in.Today, modern seekers are often forced into a frustrating dilemma. As the famed historian Yuval Noah Harari points out, society seems to present us with only two options: the "Mystery God" (a vague, unknowable cosmic energy that asks nothing of us) or the "Lawgiver God" (a petty cosmic dictator obsessed with micromanaging our daily lives and punishing our mistakes).It is completely understandable why so many people — including Harari himself — run away from the Lawgiver God. When religion is used to control or oppress, rejecting it is a profound survival mechanism. Hence the rise of the "spiritual but not religious" movement.But is this a false choice? In our justified rush to escape this "Cosmic Dictator", have we accidentally over-corrected into a state of personal comfort and complacency masquerading as spirituality and "seeking"?In this video, Swami deconstructs this potential ego trap. We explore the lost etymology of the word "religion" and its connection to yoga, and we look at how the Bhagavad Gita offers a solution to Harari's false binary. It presents God not as a giver of absolute laws backed by the threat of eternal damnation, but rather as an offerer of a user manual for our consciousness, backed by the endless patience , mercy and love that we all intuitively associate with the true figure of God.Connect with the Community:

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://lewishowes.com/podcast/rainn-wilson/ Rainn Wilson moved to New York at 20 to be an actor, get the girl, and finally escape the rules of the Baha'i faith he was raised in. He got all of it. Then he woke up at 3am asking what his life was even about. That gap between "everything is working" and "I feel hollow" sent him back to the books he'd walked away from. Not just one. The Bible. The Koran. The Bhagavad Gita. The Dhammapada. He wasn't looking for religion. He was chasing the one question underneath all of it: is any of this random, or does it mean something? That search became the seed of SoulPancake.

O Bhagavad Gita, um dos grandes clássicos da filosofia oriental, continua oferecendo respostas profundas para os desafios humanos de todos os tempos. Neste episódio, refletimos sobre como seus ensinamentos podem iluminar os momentos de angústia, mostrando que as dificuldades da vida podem se tornar oportunidades de crescimento interior. A partir do diálogo entre Krishna e Arjuna, são abordados temas como a imortalidade da alma, a reencarnação, a importância da ação justa e a necessidade de unir conhecimento e prática. A conversa destaca que a verdadeira sabedoria não consiste apenas em compreender ideias elevadas, mas em vivê-las por meio de atitudes coerentes, desenvolvendo virtudes que fortaleçam o ser humano diante das adversidades. Ao explorar o simbolismo da batalha narrada no Bhagavad Gita, o episódio convida à reflexão sobre os conflitos internos que todos enfrentamos e sobre a construção de uma vida orientada por valores universais, capaz de transformar não apenas o indivíduo, mas também a sociedade.

Send us Fan MailYour Emotions Aren't the Problem: Non-Attachment, Regulation & the REER FrameworkWhat if your emotions were never the problem, and you were just never taught what to do with them? In this solo episode I'm getting honest about the emotional experience, non-attachment, and how we move through our feelings instead of being run by them. We talk about why we chase dopamine hits when we're not taught to regulate, what the Blue Zones reveal about staying well, and what the Bhagavad Gita says about controlling the senses (spoiler: it's like controlling the wind). I break down the Venus into Virgo transit and the honest inventory it's asking for, why proximity and frequency matter more than information, and I share the framework I finally gave a name to: REER. Regulate, Educate, Embody, Radiate. If you've done all the inner work and still feel stuck, this one's for us.In this episode:00:00 - Non-attachment as one of the biggest lessons of this lifetime02:37 - Why your emotions are the superpower, not the flaw05:44 - The "I need it right now" test and emotional authority06:40 - How far we've drifted from what actually regulates us07:42 - What the Blue Zones teach about longevity10:02 - Too much, not enough, and being perfectly you13:36 - Controlling the wind: the Bhagavad Gita on the senses15:41 - Information overload and carving out space to ground16:29 - Venus into Virgo, the South Node, and an honest inventory19:02 - Doing the inner work but getting stuck on the action19:48 - Proximity, energy, and the frequency you keep21:07 - Losing people as you level up24:05 - Mercury retrograde and your emotional patterns25:26 - You are the niche26:39 - The REER framework: Regulate, Educate, Embody, Radiate31:00 - "I control me": working with your triggers32:05 - Attune, and what's coming next weekCoffee ChatMercury Retrograde WorkbookThird SpaceAttune: 7 day nervous system regulation practice Where you can find Rochelle:Mastery Monday NewsletterSubstack InstagramWebsiteYouTubeEmail: info@rochellechristiane.com Support the showWhere you can find Rochelle:Instagram, TikTok, Website, YouTubeEmail: info@rochellechristiane.com

Why do you feel so stuck, tired, and behind when you try to start over? Because the problem usually is not that you are behind, and it is not that you are not working hard enough. It is that your nervous system is stuck in survival, and you cannot design a new life from there. In this episode, Dr Amen Kaur walks through five steps to get unstuck and start over, whether that means a career change, a higher-paid job, or finally starting a business, grounded in the neuroscience of stress and a grounded, tradition-based approach to spirituality. This is not motivation or magical thinking. It is what actually moves you from surviving to creating.In this episode you will learn:Why you are not behind, you are early, and how AI is levelling the field for people starting overWhy fear and fatigue, not laziness, are what really hold you back, and the brain science behind itHow to get unstuck so your ideas finally turn into actionThe one question that designs a life: not what you could or should do, but what you want to doWhy your experience is your expertise, and how to turn it into real value using AIStudies and ideas mentioned:Amy Arnsten (Yale) on how stress takes the prefrontal cortex offline, the thinking and creating part of the brainInteroception research on how the body's signals get read as tiredness or fearFestinger's 1954 work on social comparison and how it lowers self-evaluationDeci and Ryan's Self-Determination Theory on autonomy and intrinsic motivationResearch on how belief and expectation from others can shape outcomesNamed traditions on releasing the grip on outcome: the Bhagavad Gita (2:47), Taoist wu wei, and trust in SufismFAQ:Why do I feel so tired and stuck when I try to start over?Often it is not true tiredness, it is a nervous system in survival mode, driven by fear and self-doubt. In that state the part of your brain you plan and create with is less available, so effort alone does not move you. The fix is to regulate first, then design.Am I behind if I am starting over later in life?No. Because AI is changing what work looks like for everyone, the old map is dissolving. If you are already learning to navigate uncertainty, you are early to the shift, not behind it.How do I get unstuck?Get your nervous system out of survival before you try to plan. Daily, gentle regulation, done consistently, is what lets your ideas turn into action. Borrowed motivation fades because it does not change your underlying state.What is the first step to changing careers when you feel behind?Ask what you want to do, not what you could or should do. Look back at what already comes easily to you, because the thing you undervalue most is often your real strength.Will AI take my job?AI is automating routine, repeatable tasks, and shifting value toward human judgment, creativity, and connection. That makes your experience more valuable, not less, if you learn to use the tools and create from what only you can offer.Listen and subscribe: Follow Starting Over, Being You on Apple Podcasts so you do not miss an episode.keywords: starting over, five steps to start over, overcoming self doubt, designing your life, creating your own path, AI and career change, value of personal experience, regulating nervous system, moving out of survival mode, finding your worth, creating a business from scratch, mindset for success, intrinsic motivation, personal development tips, leadership in uncertain times, emotional regulation techniques, building personal brand, enhancing self evaluation, finding purpose in work, embracing change
This episode covers the next part of chapter 34 from: “As I remained silent in awe, my guide made a sweeping gesture…” to “...Put your hand there and receive whatever food you desire.” This episode continues Lahiri Mahasaya's experience with Babaji's materialised palace. We examine how Babaji manifested a jewelled palace from cosmic rays to fulfil Lahiri's past life desire for a golden palace, with detailed discussions about the philosophical implications of what constitutes matter and reality. We explored Paramahansa Yogananda's commentary on karma, particularly the four definitions of karma from Bhagavad Gita, and how Lahiri's experience fit into these categories. The conversation covered the palace's purpose as a testing ground for Lahiri's initiation into Kriya Yoga, the mystical nature of the initiation ceremony, and the eventual dematerialisation of the palace when Lahiri's desire was fulfilled. 00:00 Introduction; 0:40 Prior Episode; 1:15 Transitoriness; 16:20 Desire extinguished; 26:50 Kriya Initiation; 46:15 Dematerialised; 56:55 Looking Ahead.

Kriya Yoga teacher Donelle Mason from New Zealand joins Ryan Kurczak for a thoughtful conversation on insight, Self-realization, lineage, Sanskrit, renunciation, ritual, and spiritual maturity. This episode explores the difference between genuine spiritual insight and mental understanding, the gradual or sudden recognition of Purusha, and how to understand the many branches and variations of Kriya Yoga after Lahiri Mahasaya. Ryan also discusses Sanskrit study, householder life, renunciate ideals, tapas, brahmacharya, desirelessness, kaivalya, and the role of ritual in yogic practice. The conversation concludes with reflections on what Ryan wishes he had known at the beginning of the path and how students may deepen from recognizing the Self to seeing the Self in all beings, as taught in the Bhagavad Gita. For students of Kriya Yoga, meditation, Yoga philosophy, the Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, Self-realization, and sincere spiritual practice. -

This episode covers the next part of chapter 34 to: “As I maintained a bewildered silence, the saint approached...” to “‘The hour is midnight.' My guide laughed softly...” This section of the chapter focuses on the meeting between Lahiri Mahashaya and Mahavar Babaji in the Himalayas. The conversation centred on a profound reunion where Babaji touched Lahiri Mahasaya's forehead, triggering the recall of past lifetime memories.

In Chapter 9 of the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna reveals what he calls the "king of knowledge" and the "most confidential secret". A teaching so simple and intimate that most people overlook it completely. This episode explores the heart of bhakti yoga: devotion, relationship with the divine, and the radical idea that the sacred permeates everything. We explore:

Free Masterclass : Click here You've been told that to change your life, you have to change your identity: decide who you want to be, affirm it every morning, and visualise your way into the new you. So why does changing your identity so rarely work? In this episode of Starting Over, Being You, Dr. Amen Kaur explains why the identity keeping you stuck is not a flaw to fix. It is a protection your brain actively defends, long after it has stopped serving you. And why trading it for a "better," more empowered identity is just a nicer cage. Bridging neuroscience and the contemplative traditions, she walks through what actually loosens identity's grip, and the one practical lever that has nothing to do with believing in yourself.What this episode covers:Why a stuck identity behaves like scar tissue, and the one question that begins to loosen itHow identity works as a perceptual lens, so your beliefs shape the evidence rather than the other way aroundThe expectancy-value science of motivation, and why losing your motivation is rarely a motivation problemWhy the "I have to" identity of high achievers leads to burnout and contingent self-worthThe counterintuitive truth about imposter syndrome: it is created by success, not cured by itWhat the Yoga Sutras, the Buddhist teaching of non-self, and the Bhagavad Gita reveal about the self that does the perceivingThe single lever that actually moves identity: how you respond to a thought, not the thought itselfA 30-second awareness practice you can do right where you areQuestions this episode answersWhy does trying to change your identity rarely work? Because a limiting identity functions like scar tissue. It protects you from something painful, so willpower alone bounces off it. Until you understand what the identity is protecting you from, it keeps reasserting itself no matter how hard you push.Can you actually control your thoughts? No. The mind generates thoughts automatically, the way the body generates a heartbeat. What you can control is how you respond to a thought once it arrives. That skill is called cognitive defusion, from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, developed by the psychologist Steven Hayes.Is imposter syndrome cured by success? No. Imposter syndrome is created by success. It appears in the gap between what you have achieved and who you still believe you are, which means the more you accomplish while clinging to an old self-image, the stronger it gets.Why do I feel like I have no motivation? You are almost certainly not unmotivated. Expectancy-value theory, from John Atkinson and later Jacquelynne Eccles and Allan Wigfield, describes how the brain weighs how likely success feels against how much the outcome matters. When an identity says "I can't," predicted success drops, the effort registers as wasted, and you stay exactly where you are.What does the Bhagavad Gita say about effort and results? In chapter 2, verse 47, the Bhagavad Gita teaches that you have a right to your actions but never to the fruits of your actions. The invitation is to unhook your sense of self from outcomes you cannot control and return it to the action itself.Why do high achievers burn out on a "positive" identity? Self-determination theory, from Edward Deci and Richard Ryan, calls it introjected regulation: acting from internalised pressure rather than genuine value. Combined with contingent self-worth, researched by Jennifer Crocker, it means each achievement only rents a brief sense of being okay before the bar moves again.How do you stop a negative thought from running you? You do not stop the thought. You change how you respond to it. Drawing on Hebbian learning ("neurons that fire together, wire together," Donald Hebb, 1949), responding differently over time weakens the old mental pathway and strengthens a new one. Think of the mind as a garden: you cannot control which seeds blow in, but you control what you water and what you pull.Sources and traditions referencedExpectancy-value theory of motivation: John Atkinson; Jacquelynne Eccles and Allan WigfieldSelf-determination theory and introjected regulation: Edward Deci and Richard RyanContingent self-worth: Jennifer CrockerAcceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive defusion: Steven HayesHebbian learning, "neurons that fire together, wire together": Donald Hebb, 1949The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (vritti, the fluctuations of the mind)The Buddhist teaching of anatta (non-self)The Bhagavad Gita, chapter 2, verse 47The takeaway: You are not your identity. You are the one watching it arrive. The freedom was never in becoming someone solid. It was in realising you were never only one thing, and you do not have to defend a self that was always going to keep changing.Free masterclass: If you are in the middle of starting over and want to step beyond the labels holding you back, Dr. Amen Kaur has created a free masterclass to help you do exactly that. https://www.amenkaur.com/masterclassFollow Starting Over, Being You so the next episode finds you, and share this one with someone quietly outgrowing an old version of themselves.About the host: Dr. Amen Kaur is a coach and the host of Starting Over, Being You, where she brings together neuroscience and grounded spirituality for high-achieving professionals navigating identity, reinvention, and starting over.change your identity, personal transformation, affirmations, visualization techniques, identity protection, limiting beliefs, motivation and identity, self-image, identity and success, overcoming imposter syndrome, cognitive diffusion, awareness in psychology, self-worth, internalized pressure, spiritual identity, freedom from labels, neuropsychology of identity, emotional resilience, identity evolution, mindfulness practices
Grief, Gratitude, and Remembering True Nature After My Father's PassingHost Rahul N Singh returns to The Bearded Mystic Podcast after a break and shares that his father died last month, reflecting on grief, regrets, and learning to face loss directly without denying emotions or spiraling in them. He describes finding steadiness through prayer, simran, and witnessing feelings, emphasizing that memories remain and that his father was a major influence on his spirituality. Rahul expresses gratitude for being present in his father's final moments and for support from community, family, friends, and his wife, noting the importance of staying connected rather than withdrawing from spirituality. He highlights non-dual teachings about abiding as pure consciousness, remembering one's true nature, and viewing death through the lens of oneness, including references to Nij Gar and the Bhagavad Gita.Send us Fan MailSupport the showSupport me via Paypal: https://www.paypal.biz/beardedmysticJoin our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/hnRf7wESwXVisit my website: https://www.thebeardedmysticpodcast.com/Want a one-on-one spiritual discussion with The Bearded Mystic - book here: https://www.thebeardedmysticpodcast.com/p/spiritual-discussion/You can follow me and contact me on social media:TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMdk3HPJh/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebeardedmysticpodcast/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheBeardedMysticPodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Bearded-Mystic-PodcastBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/beardedmystic.bsky.socialBecome a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/thebeardedmysticpodcast
Have you ever noticed that when humans try to talk about God, awakening, truth, or the divine we almost never explain it directly? Instead, we tell stories. We say life is a battlefield. God is a shepherd. The soul is a river returning to the sea. The self is two birds sitting in the same tree. Across cultures, centuries, and spiritual traditions, mystics don't simply define the divine, they paint it. In this episode, I take you on a kind of devotional poetry slam through sacred metaphor. We'll explore passages from the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, the Psalms, and yogic philosophy to see how spiritual traditions use image, story, and symbol to help us feel our relationship with the divine. Because metaphor doesn't just help the mind understand. It gives the nervous system somewhere to rest. We'll explore:
Have you done all the work and still feel empty? Are you stuck in endless self-improvement with nothing to show for it? What if you’ve been asking the wrong question all along? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi breaks down the crucial difference between self-development and self-mastery, and why chasing growth without inner depth can leave you feeling perpetually broken. Drawing on ancient wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita, this episode shifts the conversation from “how do I improve myself?” to “who is the self I’m actually trying to improve?” Rather than giving you another checklist, Radhi explores how true fulfillment comes from transforming your relationship with yourself, not just your behavior. From ego awareness to emotional regulation to desire management, this episode gives you the inner framework to stop being controlled by your reactions, impulses, and need for validation. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why self-development alone can trap you in a cycle of feeling perpetually unfulfilled. What self-mastery actually means and how it differs from discipline or willpower. How to observe your emotions without being run by them. Why detachment doesn’t mean not caring, and how to release outcomes without giving up. Four daily practices to start moving from self-development into self-mastery. Growth isn’t just about what you build. It’s about who’s doing the building.
