EVEN MORE about this episode!Why do we ignore our intuition—even when the signs are obvious?Join Julie Ryan and intuitive channel Rhiannon Hines as they explore spiritual awakening, Akashic records, parallel lives, frequency, and how to trust your inner guidance. Rhiannon reveals the real reason we struggle to trust our inner guidance: following it forces us to confront fear, unworthiness, and the belief that we're not fully supported by the divine.The discussion takes a fascinating turn as Rhiannon describes reality as a holographic mirror—reflecting back the frequency we carry. Together, they explore the Akashic records as a field of infinite wisdom, challenge the illusion of linear time, and consider the idea that all lifetimes may be happening simultaneously. Rhiannon shares the powerful story of her mother's spiritual awakening and physical healing, a transformation that shifted her entire family's consciousness.You'll also walk away with practical tools for strengthening your intuition—starting with small daily choices and anchoring into the heart through breath instead of the analytical mind. From releasing the “prison” of the calendar to asking what your soul truly longs to experience, this episode invites you to remember who you really are—and why you came here. If you're ready to trust yourself at a deeper level, this conversation will open something profound within you.Guest Biography:Rhiannon Heins is an intuitive channel, bestselling author and energy-worker.

Send us a text by clicking this link!A bright cloud, a trembling heart, and a voice that still calls us by name: the Second Sunday of Lent leads us up Tabor to glimpse what grace intends to complete. We read the traditional Mass texts and sit with the Transfiguration, then follow the thread back into ordinary life where sanctification looks like chastity, fairness, and fidelity when no one applauds. The light isn't a detour from the cross; it's the courage to carry it.We unpack why Moses and Elijah speak with Jesus about the Passion, and what that means for our own desire to build tents around fleeting consolations. The Father's command—“Listen to him”—reframes our Lenten work: prayer to anchor our identity, fasting to train desire, and almsgiving to heal our neighbor's wounds. We talk about how sin disfigures, how grace refigures, and why God sometimes withdraws felt support so love can grow sturdy. “Jesus alone” becomes a practical rule for dry seasons, disappointments, and the quiet heroism of keeping our promises.If you've wondered how to hold on to hope when comfort lifts, or how to turn daily frustrations into fuel for holiness, this conversation gives you a clear path. Expect real talk on suffering, a sober word about purgatory, and a tender reminder that Tabor's glory is not lost in the valley—it goes hidden within you. Join us, pray with the readings, and step into a Lent that actually changes your heart.

Want to reach out to us? Want to leave a comment or review? Want to give us a suggestion or berate Anthony? Send us a text by clicking this link!A hard headline at dawn and a holy invitation at hand: we step into Ember Saturday with fasting, prayer, and a clear-eyed look at how grace meets a restless world. We keep the focus tight—covenant fidelity in Deuteronomy, the lived texture of Christian charity in First Thessalonians, and the mountain light of Matthew's Transfiguration—then move into a grounded guide on confession that trades clichés for clarity.We talk about why frequent confession should never become just a routine, how absolution is Christ acting in the soul, and why naming motives behind venial patterns exposes the roots of anger, pride, and acedia. You'll hear practical steps for a better examen, what to share when you're not confessing mortal sin, and when to book an appointment so those in crisis aren't left waiting. Along the way, we hold together two anchors of Lent: intimacy with God through honest repentance and solidarity with others through fasting and intercession.The thread tying it all together is simple and demanding: hear him. The Father's command on the mountain becomes the plan for the week—listen to Christ in Scripture, in conscience, and in the quiet of the confessional. Let the Precious Blood wash the past and brace the future. Make space for family, keep Ember Saturday with abstinence, and pray for peace, priests, and vocations while the world trembles. If you're ready for a Lent that actually reshapes your habits and steadies your heart, this conversation will give you both vision and tools.If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review so others can find the show.

MK Ultra expert and survivor Cathy O'Brien returns to expose what the government is still keeping off-limits in the Epstein document release — and why the “disclosure” narrative is designed to stop short of the real system.MK-Ultra was real. Documented. Operational. And Cathy lays out why the remaining Epstein files likely map directly onto trauma-based control mechanisms used to compromise powerful people and protect predators who operate behind institutional shields.This conversation goes straight into the machinery: control through coercion, blackmail, and engineered psychological domination — and why only the implicated keep pretending this isn't real.Despite the darkness, Cathy brings solutions and hope: how to wake up, reclaim sovereignty, heal, and align with what is true.Get Cathy's new book, Align with the Divine, at https://trance-formation.comSee exclusives at https://SarahWestall.Substack.com

Critics have claimed the Conquest of Canaan is an example of divinely commanded genocide or ethnic cleansing. I argue that the rationale for the Conquest had nothing to do with race or ethnicity, and is not an example of genocide. It's an example of mass judgment for gross immorality. I also explain how Israel had a historical claim to the land, God waited patiently for the Canaanites to repent before judging them, and the main goal was to expel the people from the land.Web: ThinkingtoBelieve.comEmail: ThinkingToBelieve@gmail.comFacebook: facebook.com/thinkingtobelieveTwitter & Gettr: @thinking2believTruth: @ThinkingToBelieveParler: @thinkingtobelieve

What if the dream feels “too big” because you haven't built the capacity to hold it yet? What if success isn't missing you—but waiting for you to feel safe enough to receive it?  This week, Jessica sits down with actress Karolina Wydra (Pluribus, Sneaky Pete) to talk about the long game of manifestation. From growing up in communist Poland and internalizing scarcity and suppression, to stepping away from acting at 39 to become a mother, Karolina's story is one of surrender, self-trust, and divine timing. It's a true testimony to something central at TBM: what is meant for you will not miss you. After years of inner work, Karolina landed a life-changing role on Pluribus, fulfilling a longtime manifestation of working with Vince Gilligan. Through EMDR, nervous system regulation, Expanders, journaling, and radical honesty with herself, she shares how subconscious reprogramming helped her release the belief that her dreams were “too big” and instead expand her capacity to receive them. If you've ever feared success as much as failure, this conversation is a reminder that manifestation isn't about forcing—it's about becoming safe enough to hold what you've been calling in.

In this episode of House of Learning: Understanding the Doctrine of the Temple, Meghan Farner and Cory Jensen explore covenants not as legal contracts or religious checklists, but as sacred relationships of love, union, and spiritual transformation with God.This lesson reframes covenant as an invitation into intimate relationship — the merging of identity, loyalty, and purpose between God and the soul. Drawing from biblical symbolism, ancient covenant patterns, and temple theology, the discussion reveals why covenant is ultimately relational rather than transactional.You'll learn:✨ Why covenant means relationship, not merely agreement ✨ How ancient covenants symbolized the merging of identity and unity of heart ✨ Why pride and spiritual superiority undermine covenant consciousness ✨ The three components of covenant: initiation, obligations, and blessings ✨ How Christ is revealed in scripture as the Bridegroom ✨ The spiritual meaning of sacred marriage symbolism ✨ The Hebrew concept of hesed (covenant love and loving-kindness) ✨ How covenant deepens personal intimacy with GodThis episode also explores how covenant relationships evolve through spiritual growth, how divine mercy supports the learning process, and why God's desire is union rather than compliance. Viewers are invited to reconsider their relationship with Christ as one of devotion, trust, love, and becoming. If you've ever felt that faith has become overly transactional, rigid, or institutional, this lesson offers a healing and expansive vision of covenant as sacred relationship and divine intimacy.

Want to reach out to us? Want to leave a comment or review? Want to give us a suggestion or berate Anthony? Send us a text by clicking this link!Ready for a reset that goes deeper than giving up dessert? We take Ember Friday as a clarifying lens on Lent: why the season spans 46 calendar days, how abstinence and fasting work today, and why these practices still matter for real conversion. Then we open Ezekiel 18 and John 5 to trace a through line from personal responsibility to healing grace, where God's mercy moves first and then asks us to walk in it with resolve.We walk through Ezekiel's stark promise and warning—turn and live, turn away and lose what you had—not to spark argument, but to recover urgency. At the pool of Bethesda we meet a man frozen for thirty-eight years until Jesus cuts through the inertia with a question and a command. That moment becomes a template: receive the gift, carry it forward, and “sin no more.” From there we turn practical with the daily examination of conscience, not as a guilt checklist but as a skillful search for motives and the dominant fault—pride, sloth, or self-love—that powers many small falls. We show how to fight roots with opposite virtues, how to teach the examen to kids in simple steps, and how small, steady course corrections build perseverance.Along the way we unpack the differences between the traditional and new liturgical calendars, why Ember Days focus prayer on priests and vocations, and the U.S. history behind partial abstinence on Ember Saturday. The thread that binds it all: grace is a gift meant to be walked with. If you've been looking for a concrete way to align desire, habit, and hope, this episode offers a map you can start using tonight.If this helped you see Lent with fresh eyes, follow the show, share it with a friend who could use a nudge, and leave a quick review with your biggest takeaway.

Is reality fundamentally inert, or is it structured by divine desire? In this episode, John Vervaeke and Zevi Slavin explore the metaphysical vision of Ibn Gabirol and the integration of Jewish thought with Neoplatonism. They examine the claim that all of existence arises through the coupling of matter and form, unified by divine will. The conversation traces the Philosophical Silk Road and reflects on how Ibn Gabirol shaped Christian, Islamic, and Jewish philosophy. At its center is a contemporary challenge: can we recover a shared philosophical language that orients us toward unity without erasing difference? Zevi Slavin is the founder of Seekers of Unity and a teacher of Jewish mysticism and integrative metaphysics. His work engages classical Jewish sources and cultivates cross traditional dialogue grounded in participatory metaphysics.

If you’ve ever had a moment where, for a split second, you remembered who you really are? That’s the divine spark. Not your “to-do list self”, nor the roles you play, but the part of you that feels ancient, luminous, and plugged into everything? I just had one of those flashes, so let me tell you the story. The Divine Spark People use the word spark in all kinds of ways, energy, life force, soul fire. Many meditations invite you to picture a divine spark in the heart. Recently I found myself wondering, where did that image even come from? Who started talking about the spark like that? Minutes later I flopped onto the couch, opened YouTube, and clicked a video from Ellie Dreams Down Under, who has a fabulous playlist on the Gnostic gospels. And what was she talking about? The spark. What it means and how it shows up in the Gnostic texts. The timing made me laugh. (For more about Gospels, check out this episode about the Gospel of Mary -it’s about Mary Magdelene) When things line up like that, I take it as a wink from the Universe. For me, that's a moment of plugging into something bigger than my personality. It feels like a reminder that I'm part of something larger. Sometimes those reminders are gentle, like a video. Other times they're not subtle at all. A health crisis, an accident, a loss. Something cracks open ordinary life and there's a fierce knowing, I am more than this physical form. Buried Wisdom You can trace the idea of a spark through many traditions, but today I want to focus on one text, the Gospel of Truth. It's a mystical early Christian writing with a lot to say about forgetting, remembering, and that flash of recognition we're calling the spark. This isn't a sermon but an esoteric deep dive into what the spark means and how it might be moving in your life. The text was discovered in 1945 at Nag Hammadi in Egypt, part of a buried library of early Christian writings sealed in jars for centuries. It's usually connected to the Valentinians, a 2nd century mystical Christian group who cared less about believing the right thing and more about remembering where you come from. When I first read it, I'll be honest, some of the biblical language felt dense. Some of it made me roll my eyes. So I’m going to switch out modern words for what I consider the offensive words. I’ll explain as I go. Belief Vs. Knowing Belief is information you've been told. Gnosis, the word the Gnostics used, means inner knowing. It's that moment when something wakes up and you think, “Oh. I know this. I've always known this.” One scholar sums it up like this, “I come from God, I share God's essence, I will return to God.” That's the heartbeat of this text. According to this story, humanity has fallen into ignorance and forgetfulness of the Divine Source. The gospel uses the word Father. I prefer Source or Universe. Ignorance is personified as Error. Error is described like a fog, even a nightmare we're living inside. Then Christ appears. He’s not someone balancing a cosmic spreadsheet of sins, but a teacher and revealer. His role is to dissolve ignorance through direct knowing of Source. From this perspective, salvation isn't about punishment. It's about awakening and remembering where you came from and what's real. That flash of, “Oh. I remember.” That's the spark. It's the instant your everyday personality glimpses the deeper self that has never been separated from the Divine. You could even think of intuition as one way the spark activates. That persistent inner knowing that recognizes truth when it hears it. Suffering and Liberation The text says ignorance is the mother of all evils. As a modern woman, you can imagine my reaction. But we need to remember this was written in an ancient patriarchal culture. So, I’ve switched out “gives birth” for what a word I prefer – “creating”. Now you can understand that the gospel says ignorance creates suffering and awakening creates liberation. When you forget who you are, fear and confusion step in. You start building your life around a mistaken identity. Gnosis isn't trivial information. It's a direct inner knowing of Source and of your own divine nature. Living in Fog Error refers to the fog. You can recognize it when you cling tightly to your roles such as mother, partner, caregiver, professional, helper. None of those are wrong. They're beautiful. But when you believe that's the entirety of who you are, the bigger picture disappears. The spark is the moment something inside you says, “This can't be the whole story.” It feels expansive. A remembering that you are more than your résumé, more than your relationship status, and more than your current problems. Intuition tugs at your sleeve when you falsely shrink to fit those roles. It refuses to let you live only inside the fog and encourages you to remember the truth of who you are. Human beings carry a piece of the Divine, a spark that has fallen into the material world and forgotten its origin. That's us. We didn't fall because we were bad. We fell because we forget. You see versions of this story elsewhere. In Kabbalah there's a teaching about a divine vessel filled with sparks of light. The vessel shatters, the sparks scatter, and each spark forgets it once belonged to a radiant whole. The Gospel of Truth says Christ reminds you that you are still that spark. You never stopped being it. While you're here in a body, the deeper work is remembering your true essence as divine presence. That's what the Gnostics refer to as liberation. Most of us have had at least one moment like that. Something cracks open and you realize you're more than your physical form. Fear and Misinformation Error is described almost like a hostile force built out of misinformation, which feels very modern. We're not strangers to misinformation – just think about the nonsense you see in social media. The text says once truth appears, Error is exposed as hollow. It also talks about fear and terror come from ignorance. If you’re a midlife woman, you’re already familiar with how you start to ignore fear based scripts like: If they don't like me, I won't be safe. If I'm alone, I'm a failure. If I disappoint someone, I'll lose everything. At some point something in you says, “That is not true.” You drop those scripts not because someone convinced you, but because you feel their falseness in your body. In this framework, ignorance of your own divinity allowed those fears to be in charge earlier in life. The spark is your moment of sanity. The flash where you realize you don't have to live under those old stories anymore. That's liberation. Modern Reflection Some modern thinkers explore similar ideas from a different angle. In The Divine Spark, an anthology edited by Graham Hancock, several writers suggest psychedelics may temporarily dissolve the brain's filter, allowing people to experience unity consciousness. They use different language, but are talking about the same idea. The fog thins and remembering happens, this time through psychedelic journeys. I'm not suggesting you do plant medicine, though I know people who have had powerful insights through it. I'm simply pointing out that this question of remembering is still being explored two thousand years later. The Gospel of Truth says humanity fell into ignorance and fear. Christ appeared as a messenger of joy and remembrance, calling you back to who you've always been. Whether you believe in Christ or not, the idea is beautiful. The spark is the part of you that recognizes that truth instantly. As a spiritual framework, remembering your own divine nature resonates with me. Not in a grandiose way, but in a calming, grounded way. You are part of the Universe. Which means you are not separate from anything. When I guide meditations and invite you to expand your energy field until you blend into everything around you, this is what you're touching. That sense of oneness. Some describe it as agape, universal love, a steady belonging. There's something powerful about exploring this in your ordinary life, not as theology but as lived experience. That's where gnosis begins. Right in the middle of your actual life. The post What Does The Divine Spark Really Mean? appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

Welcome Back to Make Mine Multiversity: A Marvel Podcast! Each episode we'll be looking at Marvel books, old and new! We discuss fun Marvel comics, Marvel news, Marvel history and, now, are putting the "mine" back into Make Mine Multiversity.Welcome to the first official episode of 2026! I've got some wild episodes for y'all this year. For those who're new, each month I talk with a guest about a Marvel comic that's memorable to them. Sometimes they're personally meaningful, sometimes it's "I read this a few months ago and its still sticking around."This month I'm welcoming on letterer extraordinaire Clayton Cowles (pronounced like Coals or Kohl's.) We're talking "New Avengers" (2005) #27-37, which I probably said was from 2004 because that's when the first issue was first on stands. But who am I to argue with cover dates and the Marvel Wiki?For some bonafides, Clayton is the Eisner-award winning letterer of so many books. You probably know him from most Kieron Gillen joints: "The Wicked + the Divine," "The Power Fantasy," "Journey Into Mystery," "Eternals" Vol. 5, "Die." Did you know he does both "Batman" books? What about "Star Wars?" "Helen of Wyndhorn?" Thompson & co.'s sadly now ended "Birds of Prey?" So many great books!Next time, we should be reading the original "Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars" from 1984! All twelve issues. Get ready for a fun one folks. You can find it collected as "Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars" or on Marvel Unlimited.Elias can be found writing here at eliasrwrites.ghost.io. Clayton can be found wherever comics are sold, on Bluesky @claytoncowles.bsky.social, and via his newsletter. Our theme music is “Excelsior” by Carol Romo and our audio editor is me, Elias. If the episode is too quiet or, maybe, too loud, or even too full of page turning foley, blame him.The show is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, (Stitcher is apparently dead and buried) and other places so please subscribe!

Send a textOn a recent cruise in the Caribbean, God began speaking to me about something I didn't realize I was missing — margin.Not more productivity.Not more opportunity.Margin.The space between my load and my limit. The breathing room in my time, finances, and emotional energy.In this episode, I share how Jesus modeled margin for ministry, Mark 1:35, why interruptions are often divine assignments, and how living too full can cause us to miss the very people God places in front of us.Because love requires availability.And availability requires space.I'll also give you practical ways to build intentional margin in this season and reflection questions to help you discern where you may be overfilled.If you're longing to slow down and hear God more clearly, this episode is for you.And if you want guided space to practice listening and creating with Him, explore my Creative Healing Bundle, Refreshing the Soul, or Ashes to Bloom.God still speaks. Sometimes we just need to make room.

Want to reach out to us? Want to leave a comment or review? Want to give us a suggestion or berate Anthony? Send us a text by clicking this link!What if the one obstacle to holiness isn't scandalous sin but quiet hesitation—the elegant excuses that slip between intention and action? We open Scripture with Ezekiel's hard clarity on personal responsibility and the Gospel scene where a marginalized mother refuses to let go until mercy answers. Those readings set a challenge: justice must be lived, and faith must persist, even when it's uncomfortable.From there, we dive into Divine Intimacy's piercing take on imperfections. These aren't headline-grabbing failures; they are the habitual refusals of “the better act” that charity quietly suggests. We talk candidly about how self-love disguises itself as prudence, how good reasons can become polished delays, and why a life of minimums keeps the soul heavy. Temperament enters the picture too: some of us process before we move, which creates a tiny window where excuses multiply. Rather than shame that wiring, we train it—just like learning fast, safe responses in emergencies.You'll hear practical, field-tested ways to make generosity easier and overthinking harder. We share simple pre-commitments that reduce friction—like keeping a set amount of cash for almsgiving, deciding in advance when not to give, and otherwise choosing the more charitable assumption. These small designs of the will help us act before hesitation talks us out of love. Along the way, the Canaanite woman's grit inspires our own: stay, ask, trust.If you're ready to use Lent as a training block for the will, this conversation offers a clear path forward—Scripture for vision, spiritual tradition for diagnosis, and concrete habits for change. Listen, reflect, and then try one pre-commitment this week. If it helps, subscribe, share the episode with a friend who overthinks generosity, and leave a short review to tell us what habit you're testing next.Support the showNeed seafood for Lent?
