Podcasts about grasping

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin sits down with Dr. Stefanie Kleine, psychospiritual coach, author of BE THE WORK, and co-founder of The Sacred House of Eden, to explore the hidden wound that often drives achievement and why lasting transformation happens on the level of being rather than doing. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-361/?ref=278  Drawing on more than two decades of experience coaching executives, founders, athletes, physicians, and other high performers, Stefanie shares how her first psychedelic experience revealed the pattern beneath a lifetime of accomplishment and opened a path toward deeper self-acceptance. She explains her framework of grasping versus generative desire, the Be-Do-Have inversion, and why many personal growth and wellness practices can unintentionally reinforce the same striving they aim to heal. The conversation also explores psychedelic integration, Internal Family Systems-informed coaching, conscious leadership, nervous system regulation, AI and human connection, and what it means to move from proving your worth to inhabiting it. Throughout, Stefanie offers a grounded perspective on why ceremony is only the beginning and how true transformation unfolds through the choices we make afterward. Dr. Stefanie Kleine is a psychospiritual coach, guide, and author who has spent more than 23 years coaching executives, founders, attorneys, physicians, athletes, and other high performers. She holds a master's degree and PhD in psychology and is the co-founder of The Sacred House of Eden, one of the leading psychedelic retreat centers in the United States. Since 2018, she has guided more than 1,600 ceremonies and integration processes. Her work centers on what she calls the Be-Do-Have Inversion: the shift from human doing to human being. She is the author of BE THE WORK: The Shift from Human Doing to Human Being and has been featured in Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, and Forbes.

“This Wisdom Is a Grasping of God; Its Fruit Love and Joy” by Gregory Haggard (CA'26) Senior Address Commencement 2026 Thomas Aquinas College, California

Pastor Valerie spoke about our identity as image bearers. We need to clearly understand what it means that we are created in the image of God. He has created us to be a Kingdom of Priests, His representation on earth. Isaiah 32:1-4 and other passages show us how this is possible. Grasping this better enables us, as we seek God, to do as Jesus did, as His disciple, but also to disciple others.

On this episode, Brian continues our study of the Four Noble Truths as presented by Ajahn Sumedho continuing our talks on the Second Noble Truth and the nature of grasping and then letting go. Next week we'll continue our review with Accomplishments. The Four Noble Truths offer us a profound means to understand the nature of our own experience.

In this conversation, we speak with John Sweat, Jared Ebert, Dewey Dovel, James Edwards, Justin Miller, and Jason Gunter on their new book "From Dust to Glory: The Fourfold State of Man." The aim of this joint project by the Savoring the Savior Fellows is to unpack the theology of the fourfold state of man for the building up of the ordinary Christian. Because we are created for God, our souls find their only true Sabbath in Him. Through the Scriptures, God provides the dual knowledge of the Creator and the self—a knowledge that guards against idolatry and anchors the soul in true worship. Grasping this story of dust to glory will cause you to long to be increasingly transformed into the image of God in Christ and long to enter the state of glory with Him.  Pick up your copy here: https://www.amazon.com/Dust-Glory-Fourfold-State-Man/dp/B0GSZQPCBY/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3TLZYQK571NMA&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.YsBuCmsaZWItIhrHC9OoTSrnykXUpCIxohMCMKOl_evQrvBn0SM4ws-asw9_b7mJbh3sSnNj8ylUWxIRLjPyO1FlhdlQrXfcbDor8xFWIiwtW_VTg4PcIrh1n_FxvvE3z6-4fVtnkg3bG3aeczPqi0mUSZ3zWQE7UP7-0yuJSNApstvOCR6FKMKQWRDHD38aDF4AzZl5_QKZBL8kkAS1bYp0OQr7gRUmHT_V1z6v5ec.eFOSyJX-btYZZx_mYfr05Abx2chNmX8YLsx4reCFpbA&dib_tag=se&keywords=Dust+to+Glory&qid=1777315229&s=books&sbo=RZvfv%2F%2FHxDF%2BO5021pAnSA%3D%3D&sprefix=dust+to+glory%2Cstripbooks%2C137&sr=1-3

Grasping for HopeSeries: Mark: The Beginning of the Gospel Preacher: Dr. Daniel HeeringaDate: 1st March 2026Passage: Mark 5:25-34

Few issues are more relevant today than the relationship between government and the economy. Yet, terms like socialism, fascism, and capitalism are often used by political and public figures without clear definitions or understanding. Grasping the true meaning of these systems is essential for Americans to make informed decisions about taking care of their families. In Why Socialism Struggles, economic policy expert Doug Cardell brings clarity, logic, and evidence to this contentious debate. Presented in an engaging question-and-answer format, the book simplifies complex economic concepts and addresses the most common and frequently misunderstood—questions about socialism: What is socialism, really? Why does it keep resurfacing in public discourse? Has it ever succeeded?Drawing on decades of research, historical examples, and real-world data, Cardell demonstrates why socialism consistently results in inefficiency and the loss of individual freedoms. Each answer builds toward a compelling conclusion: Despite its theoretical appeal, socialism fails in practice because it overlooks fundamental aspects of human behavior, incentives, and the crucial role of prices in coordinating economic activity.He is the author of Why Socialism Struggles: Exposing the Economic Errors That Undermine Utopian Ideals. https://dougcardell.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

Venerable Robina is known for her clarity in presenting Buddhist concepts in a straightforward, no-nonsense and compassionate way, and will teach on the topic of dependent origination and emptiness. Lama Tsongkhapa writes lyrically about Lord Buddha's teachings on dependent arising – the "king of logics" to prove emptiness, as Lama Yeshe puts it. With this perfect view, Je Rinpoche says, we can never "fall into the abyss of the great mistake" of nihilism, one of the commonest misconceptions about emptiness. Over two sessions, we will investigate how in his gradual path literature he skillfully leads us to the eradication of ego-grasping, the primordial assumption of a fear-driven, bereft, separate self, which simply doesn't exist. We start by applying the law of karma – an example of the first level of dependent arising: cause and effect -which gradually counteracts our pervasive feelings of hopelessness and self-pity, causing us to realize that we are the source of our own happiness and suffering. Next, we get to the root of the problem by becoming our own therapists: delving deep into our mind and identifying our delusions – attachment, aversion, jealousy and the rest – and recognizing that they are fabrications rooted in ego-grasping. Now, combining our practice with Bodhicitta, we are equipped to understand the subtler levels of dependent arising and to use this logic to uproot ego-grasping itself. Questions include - is there a particular definition for the wrong views, is there a universe or an atom, is the mind the I, what does bringing the two truths together mean, is the mind a random stream of consciousness that is controlled by the ignorance of conditioning if there is no owner, and is the conventional I training my intention?  Mahamudra Centre for Universal Unity, North Island, New Zealand, 10th-11th May 2025.

Now, combining our practice with Bodhicitta, we are equipped to understand the subtler levels of dependent arising and to use this logic to uproot ego-grasping itself. Summary of the teaching - The teachings in the first and second scopes of the Lamrim. The first one, Karma is the implicit teaching that we really start to get, it's a brilliant example of dependent arising, so it can help us loosen the grip of ego already. Second, when we get to the middle scope we start studying the mind, how these neuroses, delusions, afflictions, are these conceptual states of mind that distort and exaggerate the status of things; we start to understand emptiness and dependent arising, and how ego grasping is the root misconception. Attachment exaggerates the deliciousness of the cake, aversion exaggerates the ugliness of the cake (after five pieces), and they are both (and all the delusions are) rooted in the deepest assumption, which is ignorance, that imposes upon the delicious cake, intrinsic, inherent delicious cake. Ignorance exaggerates the very ontological status of the delicious cake itself. That's underneath the other delusions, and that's why it's much harder to unpack it. So start with the body and speech, control your body and speech, then begin to control the branch delusions, and now we begin (plus with Bodhichitta) to be prepared to get to the root delusion, to uproot that by realising emptiness and getting the hell out of Samsara and becoming a Buddha. Questions about - eons of practice, defining sentient beings, subtle impermanence not being emptiness, and is ego grasping purely a human form of suffering?  Mahamudra Centre for Universal Unity, North Island, New Zealand, 10th-11th May 2025.

As we step into a new year, I wanted to do something sacred and intentional—pray Scripture over you. In this special episode, we walk through powerful biblical prayers from Ephesians, Colossians, Thessalonians, and Numbers, explaining why these prayers matter and how they shape a faith-filled life. These aren’t rushed or performative prayers; they are grounding, relational, and deeply personal. Prayer isn’t about getting God to cooperate with our plans—it’s about deepening our relationship with Him. This episode offers peace, clarity, endurance, and blessing as you begin a new season, anchored not in resolutions, but in God’s Word and presence. May God bless you and keep you. May He direct your every step. And May God fill you with His peace as you step into the new year, my friend.

Welcome to a new episode of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. This special episode – part one of two question-and-response (Q&R) installments – commemorates the publication of the second book by Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach Jo Confino, which was published earlier this year. Calm in the Storm: Zen Ways to Cultivate Stability in an Anxious World is intended to help readers meet the current polycrisis with stability and resilience, but also forcefulness and love. According to Plum Village tradition, Jo and Brother Phap Huu recorded two episodes that respond to listeners' questions which connect to the book's themes – from balancing kindness and anger in challenging times to staying compassionate with a world where there’s little deep listening; how to best support young people; caring for oneself while serving others; and much more.

We’re controlling our actions, if we’re mindful. But most of us let our actions control us. We let worry control us; we let the news control us; we let fake news control us; we let stories control us. We let energies that may be untrue control us.” “We have to have the ability to generate joy and to be in touch with simple happiness and, even in moments of bitterness and difficulty, to come back to the present moment and ask the question, ‘What am I grateful for? What things surrounding me can I devote myself to, because I’m grateful for them?'” “Thay always reminded us to take joy and happiness seriously, and, in our modern times, people who come to Buddhism and spirituality, in particular, become allergic to the words ‘happiness' and ‘love' and ‘smiles' because they're not celebrated enough in the world. Because it looks too hippie-dippie. They seem too easy, in a way. But knowing that joy is always accessible is enlightenment, is healing, is love.” “Each and every one of us, when we start the journey of practice, really have to take seriously how to generate joy every day, with no exceptions. Don’t take it for granted.” “Compassion is the foundation for not burning out, for not becoming hateful, for not becoming toxic. It is the foundation of understanding and love.” “When you don’t have enough joy, lean into other people’s joy. You’re not alone.” “The whole purpose of mindfulness is to more deeply understand ourselves, and then to more deeply understand how we relate to the world.” “When you know how to listen, you’re already a teacher in the dharma – not through your spoken words, but through your way of just being. So don’t underestimate the practice of deep listening, because that can open the doors to people’s hearts as well as allowing them to touch healing. Because deep listening allows us to be vulnerable; it allows us to cry the tears that need to be shed to water our fields of pain and our seeds of love, understanding, and kindness. That is all deep listening; meditation is deep listening.” “Wherever there is darkness, light is already there, because the two coexists – and wherever there is light, there is darkness.” “Accept despair and let it deeply touch and tenderize your heart. Because that’s what despair can do. Rather than seeing it as “the end of a journey, see it as something we touch deeply and which can begin a new journey.” “There’s something about taking the longer view and recognizing the great arc of time and not becoming so caught up in this moment, as though it’s the only moment. Recognize that life will continue in many forms, and trust in that.” “We have to use both wings of meditation – stopping and looking deeply – in every crisis that we find ourselves in or find ourselves facing.”
