Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Gary Zukav's journey from sex addiction to spiritual awakening reveals the transformative power of authentic choice. The four-time New York Times bestselling author shares how he evolved from feeling powerless—seeking validation through his Green Beret service and numerous sexual conquests—to discovering a new consciousness beyond the five senses. His raw vulnerability shines through as he describes the moment he realized his addiction was out of control and how meeting his spiritual partner showed him what true intimacy feels like. This conversation exposes the fundamental difference between external power (manipulating and controlling others) and authentic power (aligning your personality with your soul), delivering practical wisdom for anyone feeling trapped by fear, addiction, or the pursuit of validation in our chaotic world.The Gary Zukav PodcastGary's books:The Seat of the SoulUniversal HumanDancing Wu Li Masters: An Enlightening Exploration of Quantum Physics, Eastern Philosophy, and the Interplay of Science and SpiritualityThe Heart of the Soul: Emotional AwarenessIn this episode you will learn:The stark difference between the old consciousness (limited to five senses) and new consciousness (awareness beyond physical reality)How to recognize when you're operating from fear versus love in your daily choicesWhy your personality contains multiple parts, some frightened and some loving, rather than being a single entityThe counter-intuitive truth that hating evil increases rather than diminishes its presenceHow to cultivate authentic power by challenging the frightened parts of your personalityWhy temptation is not external but a "dress rehearsal" for negative karmic eventsThe process of transforming from powerlessness to authentic choice through conscious awarenessHow meaningful intention differs from ego-driven goals when manifesting your dreamsFor more information go to https://www.lewishowes.com/1773For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Rhonda Byrne – greatness.lnk.to/1526SCGabby Bernstein  – greatness.lnk.to/1714SCDanny Morel – greatness.lnk.to/1734SC Get more from Lewis!

In this episode of Star Warsologies, we talk to Dr. Krista Noble about Eastern philosophical traditions and their similarities to the Force! Dr. Krista Noble joins us this episode on Star Warsologies to talk about her new book, One with the Force: 18 Universal Truths in Star Wars. Krista is a professor of Vedic studies and shares what she knows about George Lucas's connection to Eastern philosophies. We also cover the roles of the light and dark sides, supernatural abilities, and intuition. When characters say, "I've got a bad feeling about this," it's more than just a running joke, it's a philosophical moment! We hope you enjoy the episode and your next Star Wars rewatch with some more insights into the connections between the Jedi and real-life traditions. Show Links: You can buy Krista's book on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Bookshop.org! Check out Krista's website. Book summary: Why are the Star Wars films so popular? Of course, viewers love the characters, the plot, the music, and the special effects. However, there is a deeper reason why these films resonate with audiences: Star Wars contains universal truths—principles that are "true for all time, all places and all people." The same principles can be found in religions and philosophies throughout the world, including the Vedic tradition of ancient India, Buddhism, Taoism, Sikhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Native American/First Nations beliefs. In One with the Force: 18 Universal Truths in Star Wars, Krista Noble explores these principles. She delves into a rich array of topics, from the Force to collective consciousness, and from enlightenment to immortality. Readers will see that the philosophy of the Jedi doesn't only apply "in a galaxy far, far away"; it is also highly relevant to everyday living. Like Luke Skywalker, we should all look within to discover the deepest truths of life, pursue our individual destinies, and strive to reach our full potential as human beings. In these ways, we can embody the wisdom of the Jedi. Advance praise: "An intriguing addition to Star Wars scholarship, which reveals the timeless substructure underpinning the space-age saga. If you watched the Star Wars movies with a feeling in your bones that you were seeing something unfold that was not merely the product of modern creative storytellers but something ancient and powerful, this book will tell you why." —Joe Holland, Instructor of Consciousness & Human Potential, Maharishi International University "One with the Force reveals why Star Wars touches the souls of its fans, showing that this iconic film series has much more to it than meets the eye. Noble's book expounds on the universal principles in Star Wars that inspire us and sustain the cosmos."  —Marci Shimoff, #1 NY Times bestselling author of Happy for No Reason and Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul "This lucid study takes up a topic dear to my heart—the uses of fiction as a wisdom path—and traces essential principles from South Eastern and other traditions of wisdom and spirit appearing in Star Wars. The parallels mentioned by the author are evocative and even archetypal. The image of a path of spirituality emphasizing balance, experience, mindful action, and unity found in difference speaks strongly to our time of culture wars and increased questioning of traditional creeds." —Craig Chalquist, PhD, author of Soulmapper "Krista Noble's insightful presentation of the Star Wars trilogy highlights and magnifies the inherent nobility of this blockbuster film series, as she unearths and identifies age-old universal principles of life and living embedded in the story. Noble's book provides a happy hunting ground for exploring the profound truths of the world's cultural, spiritual, and religious traditions. A magnificent read!" —Dr. Judy Booth, retired faculty member at Maharishi International University, continuing to serve in an advisory capacity You can order James's crossword puzzle book now!

Nervousness and Excitement are Physiologically the Same: The difference lies in perceiving the situation as a threat or challenge. Framing the energy positively allows you to use it to your benefit. Eastern Philosophy and Western Psychology Overlap: Both emphasize the mind-body connection and achieving optimal mental states. Embracing this connection can lead to more flow experiences. Three Keys to Personal Change: Develop self-awareness of thoughts, emotions and their influence. Accept current reality. Take self-regulatory action to make positive changes.   Sponsors and Promotions:   Lumen:  Unlock your metabolic potential with Lumen, the world's first handheld metabolic coach; visit lumen.me and use code DIVINE to get $100 off.

The reason again if I may put it in another way is that all thinking is classification. It's asking ‘is you is or is you aint'. Is it this or is it that. After all, if you want to say something is inside it requires an outside. You can't have an inside without an outside or an outside without an inside.” – Alan WattsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A Map Of Archetypes & Cultivating Free Will with Beth Martens Beth Martens had it all. She was the young, beautiful, Vice President of a successful Public Relations company. She was also a talented musician and yoga instructor who traveled eight times to India to live and study Eastern Philosophy, meditation, and Yoga. She was living the dream. Then one day she discovered a lump on her neck. The doctor diagnosed her with a stage four lymphoma, and she was thrust into a three-year medical nightmare. After doing everything possible, conventional and natural, nothing worked. The last available treatment was a stem cell transplant, whose mortality rate was half. Synchronicity took her back to research she did in university with archetypes, and she dove into working with them full time to find her answers. Then Beth said no. No more chemotherapy, no stem cell transplant, no high-pressure career, and most importantly – no fear. After awakening one of the eight Journey archetypes, The Rebel, without further medical treatment, Beth's lymphoma went into remission and she has been cancer free for almost 20 years. More than that, Beth had also found her purpose for living and the archetypes of the Hero's Journey. In her book, Journey, A Map Of Archetypes To Find Lost Purpose In A Sea Of Meaninglessness, Beth explains how you can awaken your archetypes. That way you can use them to find out what you are here on earth to learn, and how to heal what stops you from contributing your best. Journey is a bold, powerful work of spiritual wisdom guiding readers along the road to knowledge of God and your own soul. Visit www.bethmartens.com to get a reading of your Journey archetype (for King Heroes and Merpreneurs) and find out where you are on the path of purpose.

In a conversation for the ages, Savage speaks with world-renowned Torah scholar, author and spiritual teacher Rabbi DovBer Pinson. Savage and Pinson weave through some of the greatest questions of life and the most pressing topics of our time. Listen as two great minds discuss: Is reincarnation real? What is the afterlife? Does it exist? How Judaism contrasts with Eastern Philosophy. What is Hell? What is Heaven? What do we make of near death experiences? How do we explain child prodigies? The origins and writings of the Zohar. Why early philosophers were closer to the truth. Why hearing is better than sight spiritually. Why our response to life is more important than our circumstances. Why our current chaos in America may lead us to order. Why evil must be exposed. Why hope is active not passive. The selfless and sacrificial nature of perfect souls in imperfect bodies. What is a soul? Do plants have souls? The teachings of Baal Shem Tov and their lasting legacy. The spiritual nature of music and its role in our lives. Are we defined by our past or our potential future? The role and meaning of Baal teshuva. How the Dark Ages shaped modern Judaism.
