In this journey of spiritual exploration, we welcome the ever-enlightened Jonathan Robinson, a seeker who has graced his path with encounters from the Dalai Lama to Mother Teresa. His life, a testament to the endless quest for inner peace, resonates with the simple yet profound essence of perceiving the world beyond the ego's grasp.Jonathan believes enlightenment is perceiving the world without the ego's lens. As he shares his journey, it becomes clear that awakening is not reserved for the select few but is attainable for anyone willing to explore the right methods. He mentions how enlightenment often is misunderstood as an unattainable state, reserved only for great spiritual beings, whereas it is a matter of shifting one's awareness and identifying with the soul.His journey in the scientific study of enlightenment alongside Dr. Jeffrey Martin reveals that modern methods can effectively guide one toward awakening. This collaboration aimed to study enlightenment triggers and the most efficient practices to achieve it. What stands out is the realization that many traditional methods might not be as effective in today's fast-paced world, but innovative approaches developed recently show remarkable potential in inducing moments of enlightenment.Jonathan describes the four levels of enlightenment: starting from being present, feeling one with everything, embodying love, and finally, a state of non-dual awareness where emotions dissolve, leaving pure presence. His personal experiences with spiritual masters like Sai Baba, who exuded overwhelming love energy, further illustrate the profound impact of these enlightened beings.His unique encounters, such as with Sai Baba manifesting ash and the overwhelming love he felt, highlight the extraordinary nature of true spiritual presence. Yet, Robinson also emphasizes the practicality of enlightenment, appreciating figures like the Dalai Lama who maintain their awakened state while engaging actively in the world.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSEnlightenment is Perceiving Beyond the Ego: It's about shifting from identifying with the ego to recognizing oneself as pure awareness.Modern Methods for Awakening: Embracing new, effective methods tailored for the contemporary world can significantly enhance one's spiritual journey.Embodied Presence and Love: True enlightenment often manifests as a deep sense of love and presence, transcending ordinary human experiences.Jonathan Robinson's mission extends beyond personal enlightenment. His goal is to disseminate these potent methods, making them accessible to millions. His website, The Enlightenment Project, offers resources and practices that can be done in minutes, reflecting his belief in simplicity and accessibility in spiritual practices.In conclusion, the path to enlightenment is both deeply personal and universally attainable. It's about finding methods that resonate with you and integrating them into your daily life. By focusing on inner peace and love, and then extending this outward, one not only transforms their own life but also contributes to the collective awakening.Please enjoy my conversation with Jonathan Robinson.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

MDMA, better known as the party drug ecstasy, has been legalized in Australia and will soon be approved in The United States for use in psychotherapy. While much of the research pushing for legalization has focused on post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), its potential use in couples therapy also holds great promise. My guest on this week's podcast wrote his master's thesis on the therapeutic uses of MDMA in the 1980s and has been at the forefront of drug-assisted counseling ever since. Listen and learn: How an MDMA-assisted session for couples can fasttrack therapy Legal and safety concerns Fentanyl risks and the safety promises of prescription options Why couples should aim to share two appreciation comments daily How to utilize the “acknowledgement formula” to resolve conflict in your relationship NOTE: MDMA is illegal in most jurisdictions worldwide. This podcast is not meant to endorse purchase or consumption of illicit drugs. Even when legal and prescribed, there are real risk and dangers that must be considered before using any drug.   Links Jonathan's Site ABOUT OUR GUEST Jonathan Robinson is a psychotherapist and author of ten books including, The Enlightenment Project and Communication Miracles for Couples.

It doesn't have to take you 10,20,30 years; if you find a short and effective method, you can quickly reach full awareness and bliss.   Emotional Clean-Up on the Path: Clearing our neurosis, past traumas, and negative habitual patterns is vital for a practitioner on the spiritual path. You want to get your vessel clear and free from the ego lens.   Who am I: The practice of asking the question, “Who am I?” is fantastic and will help you peel away the layers of false identities and access what is ego and what is not.   The Teacher: The saying, “When the student is ready, the teacher will come,” is not a cliche. On the spiritual path, you will find your teachers at the right time. Ultimately, when ready, you will see that everyone is a teacher and carries a lesson for you.

I'm a Blubrry affiliate, but that's not the only reason I'm telling you this. I've been using Blubrry Podcasting as my hosting service for my podcast for years and it's one of the best decisions I ever made. They give great customer service, you're in complete control of your own podcast, you can run it from your own website, and it just takes a lot of the work out of podcasting for me. I find for that reason that it's a company that I can get behind 100% and say, “You should try this.” Try Blubrry. It doesn't require a long-term contract, and it's just a great company, period. It also has free technical support by email, video, and phone, so you can get a human being there. Isn't that nice? If you want to podcast, try out Blubrry. No long-term contract, excellent distribution, and great technical support, too, by email, video, and on the phone. I've included an affiliate link on this blog. You can buy Lynn's latest book here!

However, my guest today is filling in for him. She is the author of numerous thrillers, including the Sonora Blair and Lena Padget detective series. Along with writing bestselling and award-winning books, she teaches novel writing in the UCLA Extension Writing Program, and is a manuscript consultant and writing coach for novelists. Very, very good. It's my great pleasure to have here today, Lynn Hightower. Hi, Lynn. Thanks for coming on. Lynn (01:33): Oh, thanks for having me, and thank you for a lovely introduction. I appreciate it. Debbi (01:38): Oh, well, it's my pleasure. Believe me. I was fascinated by the description of your latest novel, The Enlightenment Project. Lynn (01:47): Yeah. Debbi (01:48): In fact, I bought a copy. I just went ahead and just bought a copy. It just seemed really interesting. Lynn (01:56): I appreciate that very much. Debbi (01:59): Sure thing. Tell us what the book is about. Lynn (02:04): Have you ever known anybody who was possessed? Debbi (02:08): Actually, no, , not that I know of. Lynn (02:10): Well, when you meet my hero Noah Archer, you will, He was possessed at the age of 11. He is now a neurosurgeon, very much a science guy, did not believe in supernatural things until he had no choice, and it haunted him and it inspired his career. He started a research project called The Enlightenment Project. Now, I researched a lot of neurologists and neurosurgeons, and the one thing they advise their patients to do is to meditate. And no one knows that patients have the same issues I do with being told to meditate because the minute you tell me think of nothing, Oh, please, that's not happening. And I really think the way people are told to meditate is ridiculous. I think it sets you up to wrestle with your brain. Alright? And so Noah decides that he is going to just put a hair net of electrodes, actually ceramic [sic] ones over your head, and we'll just do a very gentle electrical stimulation of all the spiritual parts of the brain, which is, surprised me to find that spiritual neurons are all over the brain.

Is enlightenment what we think it is? Is following a guru the right path for spiritual seekers? Jonathan Robinson is the author of the new book, The Enlightenment Project. Over the past 40 years, he has interviewed some of the most influential spiritual leaders of our time, including the Dalai Lama, Ram Dass, and Mother Teresa, and has been a frequent guest on The Oprah Show. In this episode, we talk a lot about enlightenment - what it is (you might be surprised!), common misconceptions, how people get there, what tracks often do NOT lead there, and so much more! The different levels and types of enlightenment, and examples of methods which do or do not lead to it. The pros and cons of the guru-disciple relationship, and whether it still serves a purpose in modern life. What is the risk of getting too comfortable in our spiritual seeking? What do many spiritual masters have to say about the purpose of life? Jonathan shares a fascinating, mysterious story that defies logic. Other episodes you'll enjoy: 188.

Sondra was a elementary school teacher and loved by her students but, at home she and her second husband loved to argue.   When asked how, at such a young age, did Jonathan have this wisdom and where-with-all about alternative therapies for healing his depression and suicidal tendencies,  he mentioned "seeing my very shy sister being hypnotized by my uncle, who was a hypnotist,  into thinking she was Mick Jagger."  That gave Jonathan great hope for alternative therapies and treatment.  "If I could control my mind, I might be able to reduce my suffering and eventually kind of create my own reality, in fact that has happened," continues Robinson."If people had the right tools, they could be resilient and survive anything" says Robinson.Jonathan shares  stories of when he was on the Oprah Winfrey show in the 1990's.  My guest often reflex back to the significance of his tough years as an adolescent and how crucial those years were to his healing transformation. But he credits Oprah for her intuition and her ability to overcome the horrors of her childhood where "she was gang rapped  multiply time by the age of fourteen and had a still born child by 15. " She was able to maintain such a good focus, while being so famous is that the roots go  deep, that she really had to find something within herself, that helped guide her for the rest of her life," shares Jonathan.  Jonathan has a very funny story that he shares about his mother and how she eventually came around to appreciating his quest for inner peace and his passion for meditation. Jonathan says he got his curiosity for learning from his mother.  And he cherishes his memories of his mom teaching him how to read at three or four years old.Jonathan's podcast is called "Awareness Explorers"  https://www.awarenessexplorers.com/ where you can find many 10 minute best guided meditations from the Dali Lama and more respected healers. Go to the 'meditation' page.His first book "The Experience Of God" and now with the release of his fourteenth book, "The Enlightenment Project," Jonathan's advice is to "try anything and everything and see what you like and what brings you great peace, then use it. Another great piece of advise is  "what you resist persists," be in the moment and relax. Embrace the moment that you're in and embrace that peace."Jonathan's website: "EnlightenmentProject.net, https://www.theenlightenmentproject.net/"Humility was a key ingredient to growth and if I ever did not feel that way or grateful for all the help I 'd been  given, then I knew I was going off track," is one more parting message from Jonathan.  https://findinghappiness.com/get-to-know-me/

Dog Talk (And Kitties Too!) (03-27-2022) #772: Featuring Lynn Hightower, Jessica Rubin, and Julie Forbes. Lynn Hightower talks about her supernatural thriller The Enlightenment Project, which is about satanic possession and includes the Golden Retriever, Tash, referred to as a Very Good Dog; Jessica Rubin, a clinical professor of law who teaches animal welfare at the University of Connecticut, discusses "Desmond's Law," which allows courts to appoint legal advocates in animal cruelty cases; dog trainer Julie Forbes discusses what is meant by "positive association" in her video series "Puppyhood with Julie Forbes" and how to make and improve a dog's positive experience of a place or thing.

Lynn Hightower is not only a prolific writer and New York TImes Bestseller, but a bluegrass native who spins prose on both her weird Kentucky home and its strange otherworldly inhabitants like no other. From intense spiritual and paranormal thrillers like Even in Darkness and The Piper, to her extra-terrestrial tinged Elaki series, including titles Alien Eyes and Alien Rites, Lynn has always delved into worlds of high strangeness and conspiracy in her works. Her latest however, brings the cosmic war of good and evil right back home to Lexington, Kentucky. Tonight on MIK, we sit down with Hightower to discuss The Enlightenment Project, a story detailing the trials and tribulations of Lexington neurosurgeon and possession survivor, Noah Archer, as he battles his way, alongside his best friend and priest Perry Cavanaugh, and his wife Moira, to save the souls of those he himself may have damned to the clutches of dark and demonic forces, who once laid claim to Noah's own. In this episode we touch on everything from the real life exorcisms that served as Hightower's inspiration and so called 'angel' possessions, to Lynn's own writing process, which involves what some more parnormally inclined folks may refer to as channeling, and why she believes a work of writing is an entity all its own. So grab the holy water, summon your angels, and prepare yourself spiritually, mentally, and emotionally, for Midnight in Kentucky in conversation with Lynn Hightower!Audio support for this episode was provided by TruckStop Dave from the upcoming Angry Small Town album.

I've always been fascinated by tales of demonic possession. I fully realize that is an odd thing to admit, but it's true. I've seen The Exorcist more times than I can count and include similar movies such as The Exorcism of Emily Rose, The Rite, and anything from the Conjuring series as classics. Maybe it's my Catholic upbringing, but if we believe that goodness exists and came to Earth in the form of a God, then the opposite must be true, right? If God and the Angels can do it, why not the devil and his demons? When I was given the opportunity to interview Lynn Hightower about her latest book, The Enlightenment Project, in which an exorcism features prominently, I simply couldn't pass it up.   MEET LYNN HIGHTOWER Lynn Hightower the author of numerous thrillers, including the Sonora Blair and Lena Padget detective series. Her internationally-bestselling novels have been included in the New York Times List of Notable Books, the London Times bestseller lists, the WH Smith Fresh Talent Awards, and the Shamus award. Lynn teaches Master Novel classes in the UCLA Extension Writing Program and works as a Manuscript Consultant/Writing Coach for novelists. Her latest book, The Enlightenment Project, is available now wherever books are sold. KEY TOPICS IN THIS EPISODE: How her love of writing in grammar school got her into trouble in History, Math and geography class. Her fascination with haunted places and how she lived in one while writing a book. The interesting premise behind her latest book, The Enlightenment Project. Why cases of Exorcism are on the rise in Italy. How her creativity and investigative research fuel her successful career. KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM MY TALK WITH LYNN Put yourself in the reader's seat. Tell a story you want to read, but that hasn't been written yet. Give yourself permission. Allow yourself to follow your dream, if your dream is writing a book. Boundaries matters. The business side of the publishing world is juxtaposition to the creativity that fuels writing. Create a boundary between the two to keep your sanity! Follow your instinct. As an author, the best decisions are sometimes made through gut instinct. Love wins. The only thing that matters in life is who you love, so love well.  WHERE TO BUY THE ENLIGHTENMENT PROJECT: Amazon  Bookshop.org HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH LYNN HIGHTOWER Website: https://www.lynnhightower.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lynnhightowerauthor/ Twitter:      https://mobile.twitter.com/lynnshightower MEMORABLE QUOTES FROM LYNN “I have a lot of advice for aspiring authors. Tell the story you wish someone would tell you, the kind of story you would just love to curl up with and read. Readers will forgive you anything if you deliver on once upon a time. I really believe that. Second, give yourself permission to be a novelist. This is the work of your heart. It's what you really want to do, and it's not for the cool kids or for the special people. If you have a story to tell, go ahead and tell it and get it down as best you can. After that, it's a brutal business. Not every novel that should be published is published. So, the only way to keep yourself sane, is to do everything you can, but just accept that your story is going to find its place in the universe, and send it out there and hope that it finds its way into the hands of somebody who would like to read it. That's how I survive.” If you liked this conversation, please tell a friend about it as well as like, rate, and review Uncorking a Story wherever you get your podcasts.
