Forrest Rivers has become a good friend of mine. So when his publicist sent me an email to have him on the show I jumped at the chance. He is a man who truly sees thing in such a wonderfully rich way. He drops the labels of good and bad, and helps us see every moment as an opportunity to grow, to understand “ourselves” on a deeper level. Yeah, you can imagine why I have love and respect for him. Today we talk about the ways we as a planet can grow through seemingly challenging curcumstances.

Many people anxiously await for COVID-19 to be gone so that everything can return to normal. But perhaps it will be better not to wait for the endgame and instead see this crisis as a spiritual awakening. Rodney Flowers talks with motivational speaker and author Forrest Rivers about the COVID-19 pandemic's silver lining regarding self-empowerment and motivation. They discuss how today's crisis has halted everyone's growth to present fresh - and sometimes much better - life opportunities. Forrest also explains how the pandemic's quietness gives everyone enough space to look inward. As a result, one can cultivate faith and understand the purpose of everything in God's own plan.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share! http://rodneyflowers.com/

COVID-19 and Humanity's Spiritual Awakening By Forrest Rivers Unity and Compassion are on the Rise as a Result of the Worldwide Pandemic https://forrestrivers.com/ The emergence of COVID-19 turned the world upside down, ushering in mass casualties, sickness, and economic hardship, and social unrest. However, despite the pandemic's tragic and chaotic nature, the virus has also been catalyst for the spiritual awakening of humanity, according to one man calling us to continue leaning into the opportunity it has created. In his new book COVID 19 and Humanity's Spiritual Awakening, Forrest Rivers explores the myriad ways in which the virus served to awaken the seeds of truth, wisdom and the acknowledgement of our common roots as one human family. According to Rivers, something altogether beautiful has bubbled up from beneath the surface. That something is unity and compassion. He sees signs of it everywhere: the thousands of volunteers who risked their lives to help others, the retired doctors who unretired to relieve the load of overworked hospital staffs, the food pouring into food banks, people supporting each other individually or collectively. He sees this as indicative of a positive move in the direction of a kinder and gentler society. "Despite the heavy and tragic loss of life left in its wake, COVID-19 may soon become to be regarded as one of our light posts on the path of humanity's spiritual awakening," says Rivers. Hastening our move to oneness from dualism. Forrest River s is a writer, philosophy teacher and speaker who lives in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina His personal journey of awakening began at the age of 30 on a trip to Maui. It was there that the profound healing power of nature spoke to his soul and helped him overcome a dark period of alcohol abuse. After returning home from that transformative experience, Forrest became interested in the spiritual traditions of the Far East and began to immerse himself in Buddhist, Hindu and Taoist teachings. He has been a keen observer of the human condition ever since. "For the sake of humanity, it would be much more constructive for us all to make ourselves instruments of service and lead from our hearts. This is the essence of radical love, treating the suffering of others as if it were your own AND having the courage to relieve another's suffering even if it comes at a great personal cost to you. The courageous display of such a spirit of selflessness is what imbues the expression of love with its truly radical component. In the end, COVID-19 represents a rare opportunity for us to undergo a paradigm shift in consciousness from one focused on self-serving ends to one grounded in the spirit of loving kindness," he says. Furthermore, he points to how this "pause" enabled people to really think about what mattered to them--taking more time with family, choosing a new career path that fulfills a heart-calling, stepping off the grid to live a life in nature, creating more healthy habits of meditating, walking, hiking, cycling, de-stressing in nature. All of these lead to people who are more centered in a life of peace, service and spiritual/emotional fulfillment. Says Rivers: "In the end, this much is certain: our collective healing will bring us exponentially closer toward arriving at a greater understanding of both self and others...one day soon, the peaceful and loving world that we all know is possible will become a reality."

Today, in preparation for my interview with Forrest Rivers, I read a few selections from his book; Covid - 19 and Humanity's Spiritual Awakening.

Patrick Timpone Saying No to Fear and Obedience Show highlights: How do we say “No!” to fear and obedience? Patrick explains Soul-Mind-Body, and how trauma and aging plays into the action. “The body and mind is a thought; just one thing.” “We spend lifetimes thinking we are mind.” What if there were no conflicts in a movie? “How long do you think you’d watch the movie?” We’re involved in the Hero’s Journey. It’s the Kali Yuga, and the Elite are trying to kill us, and we get to go through the experience. What is the big misunderstanding about the “bad guys” in the movie? What would happen to the Great Awakening if the “bad guys” weren’t part of the plot? How do fear and obedience tie into the Hero’s Journey? “It’s a long movie, thousands of lifetimes.” Patrick talks about the political correctness of “you go, girl” and “hot chicks.” What is vaccine shedding? Does it exist and should we fear it? “There’s a lot of fear porn out there.” How do we create our own reality? Do we create everything? John Wong phones in from New York to talk about Joel Skousen’s book, “Strategic Relocation, North American Guide to Safe Places.” (Joel Skousen was last interviewed by Patrick on Feb. 24, 2021.) New York City ranks “Zero” in Skousen’s book, so John is considering moving. Patrick is considering living in the Great Smoky Mountains after talking to Forrest Rivers (interviewed by Patrick on Apr. 27, 2021). Patrick and John discuss living off the grid, including drinking water, water filters, and portable power generators. Patrick is getting Fiji Water delivered for emergency storage ever since the “Great Texas Disaster.” “Your show is actually Timpone University,” compliments John. “We create all diseases so we can learn how to get rid of them,” says Patrick. Atom writes in, “I’ve been in the Great Smoky Mountains hanging out with R.J. Reynolds at Sufi “boot camp” for six weeks. We hiked all day looking for the 300-foot waterfall on his property, and never could find it. We only found some 100-footers.” Patrick plays a video of Celine Dion singing “All By Myself.” Her key changes are remarkable. A listener writes in, “When striking a match, the sound comes before the light, as it does in physics. The director yells, “Action!,” and the light show begins.” Patrick looks back on what he learned from his sciatica, heartburn, and “great colon reset” experiences “Pain is just the body trying to heal.” A sticky-note on Patrick’s computer reads, “Love Purifies.” Patrick ends the show by playing one his favorite songs by Karen Carpenter — “I Need to Be in Love.”

The emergence of COVID-19 turned the world upside down causing mass causalities and sickness, economic ruin, and social unrest in the streets. However, despite the pandemic’s tragic and chaotic nature, the virus has also been a catalyst for the spiritual awakening of humanity on a scale not seen at any time since possibly World War II.In COVID-19 and Humanity’s Spiritual Awakening, Forrest Rivers walks the reader through the myriad of ways in which the virus has served to awaken the inborn seeds of truth, wisdom, and the acknowledgment of our common roots as one human family. Forrest Rivers is the author of “The Hippie Revival and Collected Writings” and “COVID-19 & Humanity’s Spiritual Awakening.” He describes how his spiritual awakening began at the age of 30 on a visit to Maui, Hawaii. A spontaneous meditation led him to the teachings of Buddhist, Hindu, and Taoist mystics. “Ram Dass influenced me on the spiritual path, where there are many pitfalls,” says Forrest. How did Forrest’s life transform into the teacher he is today, dividing his time between Colorado and the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina? He describes his transformative experience at length. Patrick and Forrest discuss living in the mountains, and how it can help us live longer. How can we live a life of service? How do we regain our spiritual Oneness? How is Covid-19 helping humanity wake up? What obstacles do we have to face to do so? How does personal accountability factor into growth? Why does freedom involve taking ownership of your life? Colleges don’t want you to think for yourself. “They want you to be more woke than awake,” according to Forrest, who did some dropping out of college along the way. “Colleges don’t care about consciousness expansion,” says Forrest. Consciousness is at cross purposes with their agenda. What is the age-old strategy of Divide and Conquer? What is real diversity? What are we lacking in our society right now? What is Heart-Mind and how does it differ from “thinking”? “One of my favorite phrases is, ‘You know more than you think you do’,” says Forrest. A listener asks, “What are the chances of a Hippie Revival? I can’t imagine a Great Awakening without hordes of hippies.” “Nature walks are one of my greatest spiritual practices,” Forrest says. “I’m blissed out the whole time.” Patrick and Forrest discuss the people who are shaming those who won’t wear masks or refuse to be vaccinated. It starts raining at the One Radio Network studio in Dripping Springs — a perfect spiritual blessing to punctuate this conversation.
