“The Dark Night does not wait for permission. It will take us. The only choice is how we meet it.” Right now, humanity is unraveling. In this episode, I explore how the global identity crisis is more than just a cultural debate—it's a spiritual unmaking. We are witnessing a Dark Night of the Ego on a civilizational scale. The identities we once clung to are fracturing, not because something went wrong, but because illusion can no longer hold. From fractured paradigms to symbolic sight, from the sickness in our soil to the sickness in ourselves—this conversation invites you to see through surface crises and into the deeper truth beneath. Transformation is here. And it starts by letting go. ✨ Key Themes The illusion of fixed identity and the cultural fear of change Symbolic sight: how to read the hidden messages in society's collapse How personal unmaking mirrors global transformation

In this episode, Guy spoke with Aaron Abke and shared his profound journey from growing up as an evangelical Christian pastor's kid to experiencing a transformative spiritual awakening. He discussed the role of the nervous system in limiting consciousness and the significance of a Kundalini awakening in humanity's evolution. Aaron opened up about his personal dark night of the soul, his two-week experience of oneness, and his transition from a traditional religious upbringing to exploring Eastern spiritual traditions. He also dived into the importance of spiritual growth, the evolutionary densities of consciousness as described in the Law of One, and how these insights influenced his teachings and online academy, 4D University. Additionally, Aaron emphasized the powerful impact of individual spiritual growth on the collective consciousness and provides guidance on how to navigate and utilize current global challenges for personal and collective awakening. About Aaron: Aaron Abke went to Oral Roberts University and got a Degree in Music and Theology. After that, I took my first job as a pastor as I prepared to follow in my father's footsteps and pursue a career in ministry.

Timestamps:7:51 - Why is entrepreneurship a lonely journey?13:55 - Comradeship in entrepreneurship15:04 - Is post-exit depression a thing?23:56 - Thinking about the meaning of life26:23 - The social responsibility of foundersThis episode was co-produced with EO Zürich. Check out their upcoming event, Entrepreneurs Summit 2025.Click here to check out our free Founders Agreement masterclass, with Melanie Gabriel from Yokoy, Christof Roduner from Scandit, and Viviana Gropengiesser from Talent Kick.About Ronnie Zemp:Ronnie Zemp is a serial entrepreneur, startup investor and the current president of EO Zurich. He holds an MBA from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Throughout his career, he has (co-)founded the following companies: RZ Capital AG, bitConsult, notime AG (exited to Swiss Post), OSUISSE AG, RZ Real Estate GmbH, and Tears of Bacchus AG.During his chat with Silvan, Ronnie talked about the most difficult aspects of being a startup founder. He stressed the loneliness of being an entrepreneur: when you're your own boss, you're the ultimate decision marker, responsible for hundreds of employees, and this can really cause quite a bit of anxiety, and even insomnia. When Ronnie sold notime to Swiss Post, he felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. He credits EO for relieving this sense of loneliness by introducing him to many people who have walked the same path.Ronnie also warned founders not to see exits as the end-all, be-all of entrepreneurship. They happen, sometimes, yes, but not always, and building a cash-generating company that pays dividends is also a great (or perhaps an even better) goal for which to strive.Ronnie feels it's natural for founders to require a long time after an exit to be ready to build a startup again, not only because at that point they can financially afford to be picky, but also because having achieved a successful exit makes them wary of damaging their reputation. There's also a point to be made about how age makes people more risk-averse. Ronnie's life was made more complicated by the fact that he lost 4 very close people within the span of 3 months, which really made him reflect about who he is and what he thinks is the meaning of life. Due to all his success, Ronnie feels a social responsibility to give back: he has financed the university studies of several students from abroad, and has spent a great deal of time supporting those closest to him, namely the daughter of his best friend, who was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 16 years old.The cover portrait was edited by www.smartportrait.ioDon't forget to give us a follow on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Linkedin, so you can always stay up to date with our latest initiatives.

Send us a textI'm thrilled to share the latest episode of the Endless Possibilities podcast with you. This week, I had the pleasure of diving deep into the world of sound healing and spiritual awakening with the incredible Marysol Ximemez-Carillo. Marysol is not just a talented singer but also an intuitive sound healer and energy channel. Her journey from musical theater to healing is nothing short of transformative, and I can't wait for you to hear her story.Here are some of the key takeaways and intriguing insights from our conversation:
Deacon Rusty Baldwin, OCDS, shares a Lenten message about the Dark Night of the Senses, St. John of the Cross, disposing ourselves to God's grace, and seeking God, not His gifts.
Nathan and Ryan unearth the cult classic Dark Night of the Scarecrow (1981), a made-for-TV horror movie that has stood the test of time. They discuss the eerie atmosphere, the film's social commentary, and why this low-budget thriller remains one of the best scarecrow horror films ever made. Join them as they break down the suspense, the revenge-fueled terror, and the legacy of this underrated gem!
Life's most painful moments often carry the seeds of our deepest transformation. In this powerful episode, author and scholar Simon Haas joins Wisdom of the Sages to illuminate how the Bhagavad Gita frames personal crisis—not as a detour from the spiritual path, but as an integral part of it. Known as Vishad Yoga, the yoga of crisis, this ancient wisdom reveals how despair can become a gateway to awakening. Through the lens of Arjuna's breakdown on the battlefield, Simon explains the four universal symptoms of a dark night of the soul: • Intense suffering tied to time—fear of the future, lamentation for the past, and confusion in the present • A powerful urge to withdraw from life or even give up • Confrontation with parts of ourselves we'd rather not see • A feeling of complete helplessness, where even our best tools no longer work Rather than avoiding these moments, Simon shows us how to recognize them as sacred rites of passage—times when the soul is being reshaped by divine design. Learn how to navigate the inner battlefield with the guidance of yoga philosophy, and why the teachings of Krishna to Arjuna offer a timeless blueprint for turning breakdown into breakthrough. Key Highlights: • Why suffering often precedes spiritual evolution • How to listen, surrender, and evolve when everything falls apart • Why the world's greatest spiritual texts were born from suffering • Practical tools from the Gita for navigating emotional crisis This episode is a profound companion for anyone going through grief, loss, disillusionment, or inner change. Let the Gita be your guide through the shadows.

In this deeply raw and activating solo episode, we'll face the real moments of contraction and emotional depth that many soulpreneurs face behind the scenes. This isn't about strategy—it's about surrender. If you're moving through grief, confusion, burnout, or identity death, this conversation will feel like medicine.

My wife was like a human camera. She was able to record in her mind life experiences in living color and in full detail. I wish I could do it! And growing up on a little farm in the hills gave her a childhood full of memorable memories. For example, on wintry nights her parents would go out to the barn to milk the cows and they had a lantern in their hand because they didn't have any electricity. And their house was in a hollow in the woods where the darkness was really dark. So my wife kept watching the lantern. She remembers one time when she heard people talking about a panther in the area. That's what a little girl wants to hear, right? And the adult said that you would know the panther was around when you heard its sound, and it would be like the scream of a woman. One particular night she stood there with one hand on the screen door of the house and the other hand on her tiny little sister waiting for her parents to come back from the barn, watching that lantern. That's when she heard it; the screams of the panther. Well, you can only imagine the rush of thoughts in a little girl's mind; the fears racing through her little mind. But my wife said, "I knew my parents were okay as long as that light was steady. I just kept watching that lantern for a steady light." I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Your Light in a Dark Night." Now, at one time or another in our life we have all been that little girl in the door of that farmhouse. It's dark; it's scary and something you fear seems close. It may be that kind of time in your life right now and you need a steady light to give you something you can count on in this darkness. Well, there's our word for today from the Word of God, John 8:12. Listen to what Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life." So, Jesus said, "I am the light." And Jesus is a sure guarantee, "If I am your light, you will never walk in darkness." He said He's the steady light we're looking for. Now, you've lived long enough to probably have other lights let you down. Right? The people who were going to be there for you? The light went out. A job you could count on is suddenly gone. A religion that maybe it met your needs but at the time when you needed answers the most, it just couldn't deliver. And now maybe in a dark place, Jesus - the light - stands before you and He's beckoning, He's extending His invitation, "Follow Me." "Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life" He said. See, those who commit their lives to Jesus Christ live under this wonderful promise, "I will never leave you or forsake you." When no one else can do it, Jesus is there. When the situation is bigger than you are, the Son of God is bigger than the situation is. When earth has no answers, Jesus will lead you through the confusion and the hurt. But you can't see it right now as long as there's a wall between you and Him. That wall separates you and it's what the Bible calls sin. You don't have any power to remove it. But in the words of the Bible, "While we were still sinners..." In other words, while the wall was still there, "Christ died for us." He died so He could tear down your sin-wall by paying your death penalty for you running your own life. And now He waits for you to say, "Jesus, I'm putting my total trust in You to rescue me from my sin, from the penalty of my sin." Have you ever reached out to Him in that way? Have you ever had a time when you grabbed Jesus like a drowning person would grab a lifeguard and say, "Jesus, you're my only hope"? If you've never done that, you want to be sure you belong to Him finally. Would you go to our website? It's ANewStory.com and right there I will show you how you can be sure you belong to Him. And then you're not going to walk alone through the dark ever again. That dark and scary night on that little farm, that little girl found security because she could see a steady light out there. And there's one waiting for you. That security is Jesus Christ, our ever-living Savior. Follow His light and you will always be safe.

Send us a textHello and welcome to the Self-Reflection Podcast, where we explore the depths of personal growth and spiritual awakening. I'm Lira Ndifon, and today we're delving into the powerful realm of spiritual self-healing, focusing on Chapter 7 of "Awaken Your True Self."In this episode, we explore the indispensable role of self-reflection in the healing process. We discuss how it allows us to move beyond surface-level emotions and confront the root causes of our pain. Unlike simply covering up wounds, true healing requires deep introspection and self-acceptance. We emphasize that while external support like therapy and medication can be beneficial, the core of healing lies in the willingness to look inward.We examine the importance of recognizing patterns and karmic lessons in our lives. Often, the universe sends us repeated messages through our experiences, urging us to let go of what no longer serves us. We share personal examples of how identifying these patterns can lead to significant life changes, such as prioritizing mental health over external pressures.Furthermore, we discuss the significance of thought patterns and their impact on our emotional and behavioral well-being. By practicing self-reflection, we can identify negative thought cycles and actively work to reshape them through positive affirmations and reframing our perspectives. This spiritual approach to healing involves connecting with our inner selves, acknowledging that we are spiritual beings having a human experience.Vulnerability is highlighted as a crucial aspect of spiritual healing. We explore the concept of the "dark night of the soul" and how embracing vulnerability allows us to confront and heal from our deepest traumas. By facing our shadows with compassion and empathy, we can transform them from sources of fear into opportunities for growth.Thank you for joining me on this journey of spiritual self-healing. I hope this episode has inspired you to embrace vulnerability and confront your dark night of the soul.Support the showCall to Action: Engage with the Self-Reflection Podcast community!

3/12/25 - St. John of the Cross, a 16th-century Spanish mystic, poet, and reformer, played a key role in the Catholic Reformation alongside St. Teresa of Avila, helping establish the Discalced Carmelites. His writings, particularly The Dark Night of the Soul and The Ascent of Mount Carmel, offer profound insights into the soul's journey toward union with God, emphasizing spiritual purification, detachment, and deep contemplation. Despite enduring imprisonment and suffering, St. John remained committed to guiding others toward a deeper relationship with God.

Recently I came across a question in a report about the thousands of federal workers who are being unlawfully and indiscriminately fired by an unelected businessman who seems to be running our government with his doggy team of similarly unelected high school graduates:Question: "Who's going to be brave enough to speak truth to power if speaking truth to power means you get fired the next day?"What if speaking truth to power means you not only risk getting fired, but harassed, spit on, ostracized, attacked, arrested, or even killed? What about your family being harmed? What about your loved ones?Am I brave enough to speak truth to power? Don't know.What I do know is just making phone calls, signing petitions, and writing emails is not going to get us what we want: FREE AMERICA from the hostile takeover of our government. I stand as one Ordinary Person inviting other Ordinary Persons to draw together - like filings to a magnet - building an Army of Ordinary Persons to FREE AMERICA. Be well, do good work, and keep in touch. You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

TABC Follow Up-- Dark Night of the Soul by TABC
"First, they must go through what might be called “a period of undoing.” ²This need not be painful, but it usually is so experienced. ³It seems as if things are being taken away, and it is rarely understood initially that their lack of value is merely being recognized. ⁴How can lack of value be perceived unless the perceiver is in a position where he must see things in a different light? ⁵He is not yet at a point at which he can make the shift entirely internally. ⁶And so the plan will sometimes call for changes in what seem to be external circumstances. ⁷These changes are always helpful. ⁸When the teacher of God has learned that much, he goes on to the second stage.4. Next, the teacher of God must go through “a period of sorting out.” ²This is always somewhat difficult because, having learned that the changes in his life are always helpful, he must now decide all things on the basis of whether they increase the helpfulness or hamper it. ³He will find that many, if not most of the things he valued before will merely hinder his ability to transfer what he has learned to new situations as they arise. ⁴Because he has valued what is really valueless, he will not generalize the lesson for fear of loss and sacrifice. ⁵It takes great learning to understand that all things, events, encounters and circumstances are helpful. ⁶It is only to the extent to which they are helpful that any degree of reality should be accorded them in this world of illusion. ⁷The word “value” can apply to nothing else.5. The third stage through which the teacher of God must go can be called “a period of relinquishment.” ²If this is interpreted as giving up the desirable, it will engender enormous conflict. ³Few teachers of God escape this distress entirely. ⁴There is, however, no point in sorting out the valuable from the valueless unless the next obvious step is taken. ⁵Therefore, the period of overlap is apt to be one in which the teacher of God feels called upon to sacrifice his own best interests on behalf of truth. ⁶He has not realized as yet how wholly impossible such a demand would be. ⁷He can learn this only as he actually does give up the valueless. ⁸Through this, he learns that where he anticipated grief, he finds a happy lightheartedness instead; where he thought something was asked of him, he finds a gift bestowed on him.6. Now comes “a period of settling down.” ²This is a quiet time, in which the teacher of God rests a while in reasonable peace. ³Now he consolidates his learning. ⁴Now he begins to see the transfer value of what he has learned. ⁵Its potential is literally staggering, and the teacher of God is now at the point in his progress at which he sees in it his whole way out. ⁶“Give up what you do not want, and keep what you do.” ⁷How simple is the obvious! ⁸And how easy to do! ⁹The teacher of God needs this period of respite. ¹⁰He has not yet come as far as he thinks. ¹¹Yet when he is ready to go on, he goes with mighty companions beside him. ¹²Now he rests a while, and gathers them before going on. ¹³He will not go on from here alone.7. The next stage is indeed “a period of unsettling.” ²Now must the teacher of God understand that he did not really know what was valuable and what was valueless. ³All that he really learned so far was that he did not want the valueless, and that he did want the valuable. ⁴Yet his own sorting out was meaningless in teaching him the difference. ⁵The idea of sacrifice, so central to his own thought system, had made it impossible for him to judge. ⁶He thought he learned willingness, but now he sees that he does not know what the willingness is for. ⁷And now he must attain a state that may remain impossible to reach for a long, lo...

In her new book, "What We Find in the Dark: Loss, Hope, and God's Presence in Grief," Aubrey shares how losing her best friend of twenty years sent her into a dark night of the soul. She shares, "Sometimes the dark nights of life and faith have strange gifts. On the other side, we find ourselves free from the superficial in our lives.

And we experience a deeper, more honest relationship with the God we found in the dark."Visit Aubrey's website and pre-order her new book, Aubrey Sampson.

Spiritual psychosis isn't a breakdown—it's a breakthrough. If you've been feeling lost, overwhelmed, or questioning your reality, you're not alone.

But when generational trauma resurfaces during an awakening, the experience can feel destabilizing.In this episode of The Sovereign Sisterhood Movement Podcast, my sisStar Elvira an I uncover the truth about spiritual psychosis, awakening, and generational trauma—and how to move through it without fear, shame, or isolation.

In this powerful episode of Your Superior Self, I sit down with Eric Bigger, widely known from The Bachelorette, to discuss his transformative spiritual awakening. Eric opens up about his journey beyond reality TV fame, sharing the pivotal moments that led him to question his identity, purpose, and the deeper truths of life. We explore how his personal challenges became catalysts for profound inner growth, leading him to a path of self-realization and spiritual expansion. Throughout our conversation, Eric speaks candidly about the importance of surrender, trusting the process, and embracing the unknown. We delve into topics like energy, manifestation, and the power of self-love while uncovering the layers of societal conditioning that often keep us from our authentic selves. This heartfelt dialogue reminds us that true awakening often comes from within, ignited by the courage to face our shadows and step into the light of our higher selves.
