Mirabai Starr and Sr Greta Ronningon discuss Mirabai Starr's new book, Ordinary Mysticism, where she reveals how to discover the sacred in everyday life.

Her books include Wild Mercy, Caravan of No Despair, and God of Love. Mirabai's acclaimed translations of mystics like John of the Cross and Teresa of Ávila offer a fresh, lyrical voice. She lives in northern New Mexico and teaches through her online community, Wild Heart. More at www.mirabaistarr.com.Sister Greta Ronningen is an Episcopal monastic, spiritual teacher, and chaplain.

In a valley tucked between ancient mountains, a Prophet of Allah SWT wandered in the silence of dawn. His heart was full of remembrance (dhikr), and the air echoed with unseen praise from creation. As he sat in solitude beneath a towering rock, he heard a faint sob — soft, trembling, like a child in prayer. He looked around and found no human soul. Then he noticed a small stone, resting in the mountain's shadow, shivering as if in pain.Surprised, the Prophet asked, “O stone, why do you weep?” By the will of Allah SWT, the stone answered, “I cry out of fear of Jahannam Hellfires, for I heard a verse that even the stones may fall for fear of Allah SWT (God).” The Prophet, moved by this miracle, wept too. For even a lifeless stone knew what many hearts had forgotten: the awe and terror of standing before the Almighty Creator.

Ep. 190 (Part 2 of 2) | The eleventh Wisdom Series dialogue with A. H. Almaas brings us to the second turning of his teaching, into the boundless dimension of divine love. Hameed explores this nondual dimension in detail: its qualities, what it's like to experience firsthand, and what the effects of such an experience are likely to be. This boundless dimension of loving consciousness is the first of the five boundless dimensions, though love continues to develop throughout them all. Hameed gives a beautiful account of his initial experience with this dimension, when divine love and light permeated all of reality. “Why don't more people experience this if love is always there? asks co-host John Dupuy, and Hameed explains that it's always there in potential form though not always manifest; the experience is there for when we are ripe for it.Having awakened to this dimension, one can't help but want everyone to feel this way, Hameed says, and this is the main reason spiritual teachers teach. Hameed describes the obstacles that prevent us from experiencing the reality of divine love, how it challenges our perceived separateness, and tells us that after experiencing this unity, returning to separateness is not a choice. It turns out that experiencing boundless love is not a panacea for enlightenment, but creates an upwelling of obstacles and a state where our boundedness feels even more restrictive than before. Hameed also relates how hatred and greed can exist in this reality of pure goodness, and tells us that it is here, in the ocean of love and light, that they are transformed. A wonderfully numinous, illuminating conversation.

Luke reminds us that the medication for spiritual healing is prayer. Prayer can seem difficult when one feels unworthy or unqualified to speak to God.

In our exploration of Ephesians 5, we're challenged to become 'imitators of God' and to 'walk in love.' This powerful call invites us to reflect on what it truly means to embody divine love in our daily lives. We're reminded that Christ's sacrificial love sets the standard for our own relationships and actions. As we contemplate this, we're encouraged to examine our behaviors and attitudes, ensuring they align with God's character. The passage draws a stark contrast between the 'sweet aroma' of Christ-like love and the destructive nature of worldly behaviors. This prompts us to consider: How can we cultivate a life that's a 'sweet fragrance' to God and positively impacts those around us? It's a journey of transformation, where we're called to move beyond surface-level faith to a deep, authentic relationship with God that permeates every aspect of our lives.CopyRegenerateChaptersChapter 1: The Call to Imitate God0:00 - 7:00We are called to imitate God and walk in love as Christ loved us.Chapter 2: Understanding Divine Love7:00 - 14:00Divine love is contrasted with other forms of love and explored in depth.Chapter 3: Avoiding Immoral Behavior14:00 - 21:00We are warned against immoral behaviors that are incompatible with a godly life.Chapter 4: Walking in the Light21:00 - 28:00We are called to live as children of light, exposing darkness through our conduct.Keywords#Ephesians#ImitateGod#WalkInLove#DivineLove#Sacrifice#HolySpirit#Morality#Temptation#Repentance#KingdomOfGod#LightInTheLord#GodlyCharacter#ChristianWitness#Obedience#GodsPrecepts#SpiritualGrowth#Grace#Prayer#Worship#Thanksgiving

What happens when our lived experience doesn't align with what we believe about God? How do we hold on to faith when trauma, suffering, or loss shatters our spiritual foundation? Author and counselor Michael Cusick understands this tension intimately. As a survivor of childhood abuse, Michael found himself caught in self-destructive cycles that threatened his soul and relationships. Yet through his own healing journey, he discovered the profound impact our personal stories have on our attachment to God — and how restoring that attachment can transform our lives. Now, through his intensive counseling work at Restoring the Soul and in his new book, **Sacred Attachment: Escaping Spiritual Exhaustion and Trusting in Divine Love**, Michael helps others reconnect with a God who is both safe and loving — even in the wake of deep wounds.In this thoughtful conversation, Davey and Michael talk about what to do when your relationship with God feels fractured, why attachment is so important spiritually speaking, and why it seems like so many leaders are falling in our generation. If you've struggled in your relationship with God because of the pain you have experienced, this episode is an invitation to begin healing, to rebuild trust, and to rediscover a sacred attachment with the One who will never let us go.

In this special episode of The Free Radical Podcast, Swami Padmanabha is joined by theologian, teacher, and writer Robert Nicastro, whose work explores the intersection of religion, science, and artificial intelligence. As Executive Director of the Center for Christogenesis, Robert builds on the vision of Teilhard de Chardin, advancing an integrated understanding of spirituality and science for a planet in transformation. The episode coincides with the upcoming launch of Swami Padmanabha's third book, "Evolution in Divine Love: The Eternal Becoming of God, Soul, and Matter." Together, they explore the book's central themes—love as an evolving force, a divine being in dynamic expansion, and the implications of this vision for soul and matter. They discuss how both human identity and material reality are part of an unfolding process, where changelessness and change coexist in divine love's ever-deepening expression. Swami and Robert reflect on the potential of this evolutionary vision to reshape our understanding of God, consciousness, and the future of religious thought, inviting listeners into a conversation that is both intellectually bold and spiritually nourishing. https://youtu.be/kzjiQHGMcg4 ▶ CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION: Gaudiya Reform Forum on Facebook .~ Swami Padmanabha's Channels ▶ FACEBOOK ▶ YOUTUBE ▶ INSTAGRAM ▶ WEBSITE ▶ PURCHASE RADICAL PERSONALISM: Revival Manifesto for Proactive Devotion in hardcover, paperback, and/or Kindle formats on Amazon ▶ WRITE your REVIEW of RADICAL PERSONALISM ~ Tadatmya Sangha's Channels ▶ WEBSITE ▶ FACEBOOK ▶ INSTAGRAM ▶ YOUTUBE
It is a deep and profound honor to welcome my teacher, Shannon Port, onto the podcast, who shares generously with us about the path of the true Divine Feminine. This episode is not to be missed and is a potent stream specifically for our listeners.In our conversation, Shannon shares how she came into this work from an early age, the unfolding of her life's work and magnum opus, and how this path has been one of leaning way in to relationships, love, heartbreak, and living and learning all of it.She makes important distinctions between the feminine and masculine spiritual paths (honoring all of it), and brings this work squarely back to relationships of the heart.Shannon Port has been teaching and sharing with the world a profound body of Feminine Archetypal Wisdom for the past two decades through the Divine Feminine Wisdom Teachings in Light Body Yoga and Light Body Woman. Art of the Feminine is a Cosmic Feminine Stream received by a true Female Initiate who has been working in the frequency of the Goddess since birth. Shannon has lived these Mysteries and has traveled the deep feminine path of Goddess Initiation, working closely with the Divine Feminine Spiritual Hierarchies, to restore and regenerate The Inner Mysteries of Divine Love on Earth. Through her heart and her Word, she shares this transmission as her soul's mission. The work here has been lived, tasted and fully integrated and digested. It is beyond sacred and holds the Divine Feminine Impulse for the coming Age of Venus and The Goddess Epoch.In this episode, Shannon covers:- the trajectory of her life's work since childhood- her embodied initiations, and the path of the solar feminine- why spiritual growth is about alchemy, not bypassing - especially within love and sexuality- why the feminine mysteries have been left out and are a critical missing piece- how the woman's heart is the mothership that births, sustains, and redeems life- why Shannon's work is an expression of a living lineage—not theory, but transmission through embodimentI can't wait for you to listen.

Former barrister turned philosopher and writer, Aedamar Kirrane experienced a spontaneous mystical awakening that began in 2015 and continues to unfold. Unable to find any support or understanding within her own Christian tradition she embarked on a deep enquiry to understand the inner dynamics and telos of awakening. She came to believe in life as an original blessing rather than the doctrine of original sin that she thinks has destroyed our sense of ourselves as sacred beings. Her spiritual autobiography is Light on Fire: Waking Up to Divine Love, published 2021. Through ongoing reflection and curiosity she has developed her own threefold mystical cosmology that understands creation in the pattern of exodus and return; that recognises all of life as sacred, described through the concept of panentheism; and that the purpose of human life is deification or the return to our divine state while still in human form. All this is set within the context of the Great Awakening we are living through now, of which the human experience is a micro version. She has come to recognise that spontaneity is characteristic of the human experience of an evolutionary shift in consciousness. Aedamar's awakening is mediated through her mystical and spiritual writing and she recognises sacred writing as its own spiritual path that she calls The Via Scriptoria. Aedamar's visions are published on aedamarkirrane.com. She blogs at The New Scriptorium. Aedamar will be opening a wisdom school called "The Mystical Birth of the True Self" in September. It will be a nine month programme to support awakening to our inner divinity.

Today's conversation on Back Porch Theology is a part two, so if you haven't listened to last week's conversation with our friend Katherine Wolf, I encourage you to do so. Now before we dive in, I'd like to read a brief excerpt from Katherine's latest book titled, Treasures in the Dark: “David taught me that laughter and worship aren't so different. In fact, they are simply two of the shapes that hope takes. Both laughter and worship are most powerful when offered from full brokenness of body or of circumstance. Sure, it's great to celebrate and praise God when life is good. But whooping with laughter when you can hardly speak or raising your hands in worship from the seat of a wheelchair…now that's evidence of a soul who has found transcending security and joy in Divine Love. Suffering can harden us to the good things in life, or it can open us up to receive them with abandon.” Grab your Bible if you've got one and welcome to the porch…we're really glad you're here.

In an age ravaged by plague, Julian of Norwich received a vision that dared to reveal the Divine as love—boundless, motherly, and woven through every suffering. Long hidden on the margins of Christianity, her Revelations of Divine Love invite us to abandon fear, empty ourselves of certainty, and find peace in the All. What happens when we embrace a God with no wrath, only infinite compassion? This episode journeys into Julian's mystical gospel—her bold visions of “Mother Christ,” the healing of wounds, and the promise that “all shall be well.” Are you ready to see the world—and God—anew?Thanks for reading!

Transformative Truth: Divine love is revealed and expressed by Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Paul prays (1) That God might strengthen us with power through his Spirit in our inner being (Ephesians 3:6-17a) (2) That we might have power to grasp the limitless dimensions of the love of Christ (Ephesians 3:17b-19) Divine Love is revealed and expressed by Father, Son, and Holy Spirit First, to live with an ever-increasing awareness of Divine Love, Consider: Triune love Exists Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Deuteronomy 6:4) The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 2 Corinthians 13:14 WBC doctrinal statement He (God) is inexpressibly glorious in holiness, and worthy of all honor, confidence, and love. He eternally exists in three persons, who are equal in every divine perfection, and who execute distinct but harmonious roles in the work of creation, providence and redemption. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 1 John 4:8 "It is common when speaking of the Divine happiness to say that God is infinitely happy in the enjoyment of Himself, in perfectly beholding and infinitely loving, and rejoicing in, His own essence and perfection..." (Jonathan Edwards) And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; and behold, a voice from heaven said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased." Matthew 3:16-17 Second, to live with an ever-increasing awareness of Divine Love, Consider: Triune love is Expressed "His self-giving affection for his image-bearing creatures and his unselfish concern for their well-being, that leads him to act on their behalf and for their happiness and welfare " The God who is love - is the Father who sends his Son. For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly (Son) Romans 5:6 But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Father) Romans 5:8 And when he (the Holy Spirit) comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment.... (John 16:8 ) Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. John 3:5 You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. Colossians 2:13-14, NLT Third, to live with an ever-increasing awareness of Divine Love, Consider: Triune love is Extended In other words, the shape of the Father-Son relationship (the headship) begins a gracious cascade, like a waterfall of love: as the Father is the lover and the head of the Son, so the Son goes out to be the lover and the head of the church. "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you," the Son says (Jn 15:9). And therein lies the very goodness of the gospel: as the Father is the lover and the Son the beloved, so Christ becomes the lover and the church the beloved. That means that Christ loves the church first and foremost: his love is not a response, given only when the church loves him; his love comes first, and we only love him because he first loved us (1 John 4:19) Divine Love is revealed and expressed by Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
A selection of passages from the text 'Revelations of Divine Love' by Julian of NorwichJulian of Norwich (1342-c 1416) was the most important English mystic of the 14th century. She wrote the best known surviving book in the English language written by a mystic, 'Revelations of Divine Love'. The book is the first written in English by a woman. Her spirituality is strongly Trinitarian and basically Neoplatonic. Through the Passion, Julian was led to visions of the Trinity and of the universe as it exists in God. She lived in permanent seclusion as an anchoress in her cell, which was attached to St Julian's Church, Norwich.

The Quiet Persistence of Divine Love | John 10:31–42 Sermon
NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchSÁBADO DE TARDE, 07 DE JUNIORUT Y ESTEREl decreto de los medos y persas no podía revocarse; aparentemente no quedaba esperanza alguna y todos los israelitas estaban condenados a morir. Pero las maquinaciones del enemigo fueron derrotadas por un Poder que reina sobre los hijos de los hombres. En la providencia de Dios, la joven judía Ester, quien temía al Altísimo, había sido hecha reina de los dominios medo-persas. Mardoqueo era pariente cercano de ella. En su necesidad extrema, decidió apelar a Jerjes en favor de su pueblo. Ester iba a presentarse a él como intercesora. Dijo Mardoqueo: "¿Y quién sabe si para esta hora te han hecho llegar al reino?" Ester 4:14. La crisis que arrostró Ester exigía presta y fervorosa acción; pero tanto ella como Mardoqueo se daban cuenta de que a menos que Dios obrase poderosamente en su favor, de nada valdrían sus propios esfuerzos. De manera que Ester tomó tiempo para comulgar con Dios, fuente de su fuerza (Profetas y reyes, p. 442). La Biblia es la revelación de la voluntad divina y del propósito de Dios. Quienes siguen sus enseñanzas son hacedores de las palabras de Cristo, y por este medio aportan maderos sólidos para la edificación de su carácter. Prestemos atención a las palabras de la inspiración, que nos exhortan a "ser compasivos, ser corteses". Booz representó el carácter de un caballero cristiano. Al igual que Abraham, ordenó a su casa que después de él guardara el camino del Señor para hacer justicia y juicio. Mostró cortesía a todos sus siervos, y al pasar entre sus obreros en el campo, dijo a los' segadores, "El Señor esté con vosotros. Y ellos le respondieron: El Señor te bendiga". He aquí una lección... para los empleadores y los empleados. Los [trabajadores] son fortalecidos en sus corazones para obrar rectamente, para ser fieles a los [empleadores] que manifiestan respetuosa bondad y cortesía hacia ellos. Los cristianos deberían ser las personas más corteses del mundo (The Home Missionary, 1" de diciembre, 1894, "Respond to Divine Love", párr. 1). Excesos tales como los descritos en el primer capítulo de Ester no glorifican a Dios. A pesar de todo, el Señor realiza su voluntad mediante hombres que, no obstante, pueden estar descarriando a otros. Si Dios no extendiera su mano refrenadora, se verían extrañas escenas. Pero Dios, para que se cumpla su propósito, impresiona la mente humana, aunque el que es usado por él continúe empleando malas prácticas. El Señor cumple sus planes mediante hombres que no reconocen sus lecciones de sabiduría. En su mano está el corazón de cada gobernante terrenal para conducirlo donde él quiera, así como puede dirigirlas aguas del río. Mediante el episodio que llevó a Ester al trono medo-persa, Dios obraba para llevar adelante sus propósitos para su pueblo. Lo que se hizo bajo la influencia de mucho vino, resultó para el bien de Israel (Comentarios de Elena G. de White en Comentario bíblico adventista del séptimo día, t. 3, pp. 1157, 1158).

Trending with Timmerie - Catholic Principals applied to today's experiences.
Timmerie is all in on our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV... and not just because he’s the first American Pope (though whoa, how cool is that?!). This episode of Trending with Timmerie feels like a heart-to-heart over coffee and YouTube reels, as she unpacks Pope Leo’s first homily and what it means for you and me. Here’s what you need to know A Pope Who Gets It Timmerie kicks off by sharing her joy, and honestly, her giddiness about Pope Leo. Her four-year-old is already obsessed (“He’s so cute!”), and it’s contagious. Timmerie talks about the homily from his inauguration Mass and what it reveals about his vision as our spiritual papa. Pope Leo’s Big Theme: Holiness Through Sacrificial Love Pope Leo is setting the tone: he’s calling us to holiness... not by climbing a ladder of success or checking off boxes, but by sacrificial love. That’s the kind of love Christ modeled, and it's the love Peter was called into. Guess what?! You and I are called into it too. Love + Unity = The Mission Quoting St. Augustine, Pope Leo reminds us that our hearts are restless until they rest in God. We were made for Divine Love. That restlessness we feel is a hunger for the sacrificial, unshakable love of Christ. Pope Leo connects this to Peter's calling: to be a fisher of men, pulling souls from “the waters of evil and death.” This is a battle cry. Pope Leo wants to rescue souls (our souls) by anchoring us in God’s unshakable love. St. Peter's Call Is Our Call The homily goes into that famous post-Resurrection moment when Jesus asks Peter three times: “Do you love me?” Here’s the twist: -Jesus uses the Greek word for sacrificial love. -Peter responds with the Greek word for friendly love. It's awkward... but deeply human. Jesus is inviting Peter into deeper love, total self-giving love. Eventually, Peter gets it. He dies upside-down on a cross because he felt unworthy to die like Christ. That’s love. That’s leadership. The Church’s Call: Not Just “Nice,” but Holy Pope Leo quotes St. Augustine again to say the Church isn’t just a group of people who “get along.” It’s people who are radically united in loving their neighbor sacrificially: no fluff, no half-measures. So, Pope Leo’s message is to stop playing Church. Let’s be the Church. Takeaway from Timmerie: Pray for Pope Leo. Read his homilies. And most of all, join him in this mission. The path to holiness isn’t glamorous, but it’s epic. And now we’ve got a Holy Father who’s not just talking the talk; he’s walking with us every step. So… ready to be a fisher of souls with the Pope?
