Podcasts about master teachers

Jesus has a succinct message in Matthew 19:13-15, saying the kingdom of heaven belongs to "such as these": children who were being brought to him. What did he mean by that? Was it just their age or something else? Let's learn together from the Master Teacher. 

In this powerful episode of Vision Beyond Sight, Dr. Lynn Hellerstein speaks with Master Mingtong Gu—founder, visionary, Master Teacher of Wisdom Healing Qigong, author, and international speaker—about embodied awakening and the importance of reconnecting mind and body in the digital age to discover the energy within us. Master Mingtong explores the growing disconnection many people experience from their bodies especially with the advent of AI and explains how awakening begins with the choice to come home to ourselves. Drawing from his own journey through childhood adversity, chronic illness, and ultimately the healing practice of Qigong, he shares how cultivating awareness of energy can lead to greater vitality, creativity and joy. He also provides a simple meditation practice that will allow you to discover “you” and your energy. The conversation highlights how healing, self-realization, and leadership are deeply connected, and why reconnecting with the body may be the foundation for meaningful change in our lives and the world. Master Mingtong also discusses themes from his book, Coming Home to Embodied Awakening: Reclaim Your Body, Power, and Purpose in the Age of AI, and concludes with an original song welcoming us back to ourselves. Dr. Lynn Hellerstein, Developmental Optometrist, co-owner of Hellerstein & Brenner Vision Center, P.C., award-winning author and international speaker, holds powerful and inspiring conversations with her guests in the areas of health, wellness, education, sports and psychology. They share their inspirational stories of healing and transformation through their vision expansion. Vision Beyond Sight Podcast will help you see with clarity, gain courage and confidence.

Feeling unseen, overlooked, or forgotten? Genesis 16:13 reveals a powerful truth—God is El Roi, “the God who sees me”—reminding us that our deepest need to be known and valued is fully met in Him. In a world that constantly pushes us to chase recognition, validation, and visibility, Scripture redirects our focus to a God who already sees every detail of our lives. Hagar’s story shows us that even in moments of isolation, pain, and injustice, God is present and attentive. He sees what others miss. He cares when others overlook. Instead of striving to be noticed by people who cannot truly fulfill us, we’re invited to rest in the steady, personal, and unchanging attention of our Creator. When we anchor our identity in being seen by God, we find lasting security, purpose, and peace. Highlights The desire to be seen and valued is part of being human God reveals Himself as El Roi—the God who sees you personally Hagar’s story shows God’s care in moments of isolation and pain You don’t have to chase validation—God already sees and values you God knows every detail of your life, down to the smallest things True identity is found in being known by God, not others Resting in God’s attention brings peace and security Do you want to listen ad-free?

She said, “You are the God who sees me.” She also said, “Have I truly seen the One who sees me?” —Genesis 16:13 NLT Recently, I read a news story headline that said 100 people gathered to be in a music video. They wanted to be seen. Especially here in the USA, there is a fascination with being an extra in a movie or becoming a professional actor and famous movie star. People often say they do this because they want to make an impact, be seen, be heard, be noticed, and be remembered. This made me think. Why do we rush to be seen by people on television, in music videos, at big events, and on social media? Perhaps it is because, deep inside, every human has a need to be seen. We want to know that we matter. We want to be acknowledged, recognized, and celebrated. This is a totally normal part of our human experience, but is it healthy if we’re chasing after fame more than seeking God? While there may not be anything wrong with wanting to be seen and remembered by the people in our world, I would like to encourage you with this timeless truth: You are seen by God. He is the Creator of the universe and all the galaxies. There is a popular inspirational quote that says: “How cool is it that the same God who created mountains, oceans, and galaxies looked at you and thought the world needed one of you, too.” God loves you. He knows you. He sees you. In a world where we are challenged to prove that we matter, we need to remember our Creator loves us endlessly. We matter to Him. The Bible says God knew us before we were born (Jeremiah 1:5). It also says God knit us together in our mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13). This means God sees us as no one else can. He created humankind with deep care and attention to detail. The Bible says all the hairs on our head are numbered (Luke 12:7). If you have a lot of hair on your head, then you may see the significance of this statement on a deeper level. God sees everything you go through during your life here on Earth, and He will intervene where needed, as He did for Hagar. She was the servant of Abraham and Sarah. They feared God but were childless well into what we would call their golden years. When God promised them that they would have a son, they didn’t believe Him because of their old age and the fact that Sarah was past her childbearing years. Therefore, after waiting on God for a while, Sarah became impatient and decided with her husband to take the matter into their own hands by making Hagar pregnant by Abraham. After Hagar knew she was with child, Sarah became jealous and mistreated Hagar. Hagar took her baby and ran into the wilderness to escape all the abuse. It was there while she wept alone in deep despair that God showed up and comforted Hagar. At the end of this divine encounter, Hagar called God “El Roi,” which means “The God Who Sees.” The God who saw Hagar in her distress and despair sees us, too. Nothing we go through is unnoticed by Him. When we feel like we have no one else to turn to, we can turn to our Savior (Jesus Christ). The Bible says He will be with us unto the end of the world (Matthew 28:20) because He loves us. Why clamor to shake hands with our favorite actors, celebrities, politicians, royalty, wealthy people, and influencers who cannot save us…when we have the full attention of the One who believes we are worth dying for (John 3:16)? The Bible says in Psalm 146:3-4 (NIV), “Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save. When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.” Only God can save us. And He will never die. In closing, I would like to encourage you to seek God first if you have not already. Know that your value is priceless to Him. We don’t have to clamor to be close to Him, heard by Him, and seen by Him. He is already near us and sees us clearly. When God looks at us, He doesn’t see an overwhelming crowd of 8.3 billion people alive here on Earth. He sees each one of us as if we are the only person on this planet, and He gives us personalized attention with great care and compassion. He pays attention to detail. And as our Master Teacher, He differentiates instruction to meet each of our needs uniquely. While there may not be anything wrong with wanting to be seen for the right reasons and make an impact on this world, I encourage you to always remember that you are already seen, cherished, and treasured by the Eternal King. And that truth is forever. Listen to these two songs of reflection listed below to remind you how God sees you and loves you. Song of Reflection #1: “The God Who Sees” by Nicole C. Mullen.

VYS0060 | Pickin' Up Good Vibrations - Vayse to Face with Mark Wagner - Show notes In autumn of 2025 Buckley saw him across a crowded esoteric festival and liked his vibe, he has Hine's lucky number tattooed across his chest, newspapers have reported on his "Big Pyramid Energy" and in this episode Mark Wagner brings his unique collision of philosophies, magicks and creative ambitions to Vayse. Mark is an artist who lives his art, a hermetic philosopher who navigates the world of the weird with intuition and passion and a mystic who reflects on his magical life with an analytical eye. In this conversation Mark tells Hine and Buckley tales of how he was drawn towards the path less trodden at an early age, his initiation and the role of CG Jung in that awakening, his experiments with sound that led to the creation of the "Sonic Orgasm", applying hermetic teachings to every day life, his techniques for manifesting the life that you want to live, the liberation that can come from confronting your shadow, the language of the birds... and how this all leads directly to Britney Spears...

BONUS: Top Republicans are attacking what they call “woke” politics, and even passing laws designed to “stop” a supposed woke agenda. The singer who first brought that concept to the culture, in “Master Teacher,” Erykah Badu, reflects on social justice, culture and “woke politics” today – one of several topics the four-time Grammy winner tackles in this extended discussion with MSNBC anchor and music obsessive Ari Melber. Badu discusses her singing, deep links to hip hop, personal evolution, spirituality and approach to the music industry and business in general, including her new cannabis line with “Cookies.” She also reacts to earlier moments and videos from her career, and engages with an “assessment” of her work that an artificial intelligence chat bot generated by drawing on public writings about her music and its message. This in-depth discussion is the newest installment of “Mavericks with Ari Melber,” a series of interviews with artists, musicians and cultural icons (Aired in 2023) To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

In this episode, Aaron and Alexander explore how every loss — whether a beloved pet, a partner, or a cherished chapter of life — carries within it a hidden transmission, a lesson that only reveals its full meaning when you're ready to receive it. They dive deep into the ancient distinction between love as a boundless, freely-given force and attachment as the ego's attempt to cage what was never meant to be owned, offering a practical framework for grieving with both open-hearted feeling and conscious awareness. If you're ready to stop cycling through heartbreak and begin transmuting loss into wisdom, this conversation offers a grounded, lived-in path — forged through real suffering and real healing — toward a life where love becomes something you are, rather than something you desperately search for.

Send a textMariko Sato — From Searching to FreedomLong before discovering the Taubman Approach, Mariko Sato was already searching.As an accomplished concert artist and professor, she had built an international career. Yet she continued asking deeper questions:How can I play more efficiently? More expressively? Without fatigue or injury?The turning point came not in her own playing — but in her son's.After developing tendonitis from over-practicing, her son sought help from teachers, doctors, and specialists. Nothing offered lasting recovery. Then he discovered the Taubman Approach at the Golandsky Institute in New York. Under the guidance of Edna Golandsky — and with a pivotal lesson from Dorothea Taubman herself — he fully recovered and completed his master's degree injury-free.For Mariko, this felt miraculous.Curiosity turned into commitment. In the late 1990s, she attended the Taubman Summer Symposium — and everything changed.Over nearly 30 years of study with mentors including Mary Moran, Edna Golandsky, Bob Durso, and John Bloomfield, Mariko refined her understanding of coordinated movement at the piano. She became an Associate Faculty Member and Master Teacher with the Golandsky Institute — one of only three certified Taubman teachers in Canada, and the only one at the master level.In this episode, Mariko shares:How forearm rotation replaced stretching and tensionWhy pressing into the keys creates fatigue and sound distortionHow small hands and physical “limitations” can become strengthsThe transformation that allowed her to perform repertoire she once avoidedWhy comparison — twisted vs. untwisted, pressed vs. released — is the key to learningShe speaks candidly about childhood discouragement — being told her hands were not suited for a professional career — and how understanding coordinated movement allowed her body to “become piano hands.”Through the Taubman Approach, she not only solved technical problems. She gained the ability to analyze and solve them independently.Her story is not about quick fixes. It is about refinement, logic, and lived experience.After three decades of study, she describes the work not as static doctrine, but as a living research community — one that continues to evolve, deepen, and empower pianists to play with freedom and confidence.For anyone navigating tension, injury, doubt, or physical limitation — this conversation offers clarity, hope, and practical direction.About Mariko SatoMariko Sato is a Tokyo-born concert pianist, professor, and Master Teacher of the Taubman Approach based in Montréal. She has performed internationally across three continents and contributed to six CD recordings. A longtime faculty member at Université Laval and the Cégep régional de Lanaudière, she has studied the Taubman Approach since 1995 and has taught it since 2006. She serves as an Associate Faculty Member at the Golandsky Institute and specializes in injury prevention, coordinated movement, and sustainable piano technique.Episode Themes • Injury recovery and tendonitis • Efficient forearm rotation • Twisting vs. coordinated alignment • Small hands and physical myths • The Taubman community and ongoing researchThe Golandsky Institute's mission is to provide cutting-edge instruction to pianists based on the groundbreaking work of Dorothy Taubman.

In Part 3 of our Sermon on the Mount series, Fr. Will uses a ninth grade geometry story—an exam covered in red ink—to unpack what Jesus is doing in today's Gospel. Christ, the Master Teacher, tells the truth about the human heart. He fulfills the law and then presses deeper, revealing that God desires more than outward compliance—he desires interior conversion. When we face the “reality check” of our weakness and sin, we usually fall into one of two traps: denial (“I'll decide what's right for me”) or despair (“I can't do this, so why try?”). Jesus offers a third way: humility—admitting we need to change and asking him for help. The good news is that God doesn't demand holiness from a distance. The Lord comes close, teaches us, and gives grace to live what he commands. As Jesus promises later in the Sermon on the Mount: Ask and you will receive. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened. Readings: Sirach 15:15–20; 1 Corinthians 2:6–10; Matthew 5:17–37

Check out our guest: www.rosemaryd.com Reiki was not something that I had heard much about before my conversation with Rosemary. The ability to sense and heal people using energy and intuition was always slightly outside of my scope of belief / understanding. Through my conversation with Rosemary, however, I became thoroughly impressed by her. Both her commanding knowledge of many different subjects areas across psychology, neuroscience, and history, as well as her ability to see people for who they truly are. She spoke to me about people that she had met who had died for 7 minutes and were revived and how their stories affected her, the different colored auras she can something see radiating off of people, and her ability to understand people at the level of the soul. She is a torch of light. I greatly enjoyed my conversation with her.

In this homily for the 4th Sunday of Ordinary Time, we begin a three-part series on The Sermon on the Mount, Jesus' longest and most profound teaching in the Gospel. Jesus is not merely offering moral advice or spiritual ideals. As the Master Teacher, He invites His disciples to see reality from His perspective. In the Beatitudes, Christ overturns our assumptions about happiness, strength, and success, revealing what truly leads to human flourishing. This first homily focuses on how Jesus teaches us to see the world as it truly is—and how learning to see through His eyes is essential for authentic discipleship.

Topical Sermons / Speaker:Berry Kercheville Be Careful How You Hear (2) How to Understand the Message  Introduction: Last week we looked at the emphasis Jesus placed on hearing. He accused the multitudes of having the same dullness and hard heart as their forefathers in Isaiah's time. However, it is a peculiar rebuke considering the sermon was merely 5 stories without any mention of explanations or applications. Therefore, in this lesson we will explore the method of of the Master Teacher. Jesus used a method that is uncommon today but was common in the first century.  Consider Luke 2:46-47 when Jesus at age 12 was in the temple. “After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.” The text reflects the method of teaching and learning. The scribes are questioning Jesus; they are not simply giving him information. It is not a one-way street. Jesus is listening and asking, but the teachers are also asking Jesus questions. They are testing his knowledge and his desire to learn. Why continue a conversation if he loses interest? Therefore, to understand Jesus and the biblical message, we must understand Jesus' method of teaching, a method that is usually unfamiliar to the modern reader.    Understanding Begins with How Jesus Taught There are many messages in the Parable of the Sower. One of those messages is how aggressive our minds must be in order to learn. Television and other types of media have caused us to be lazy listeners. It is noteworthy that Jesus refers to the secrets/mysteries of the kingdom. When we read a mystery book or watch a mystery movie, what happens? The joy of the mystery is trying to see the clues given in the story in order to find the answer to the mystery. That is what Jesus has done in telling parables, not just the Sower, but 9 parables, five to the multitudes and four more to those who came in the house wanting answers. Add the parables up, meditate on them, and we come to a very good picture of what Jesus has planned for his kingdom. Therefore, this sermon of parables was used by Jesus to engage dull minds in discovering a secret. Isn't that in many ways the whole method in scripture? There are always embedded messages. Why did God rest on the seventh day? What is marriage about? Why do we read an elaborate story of the Exodus? Mysteries and secrets are echoed time and again and God is urging us to work at discovering the answer. We should say to ourselves, “Wow! How exciting! The God and Creator of the universe is bringing us into an eternal reality show. Want to play?  Consider Mark 4:13, “And he said to them, ‘Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?'” Obviously, it was not impossible to understand the parable without Jesus giving an explanation. Challenging, yes, but not impossible. Jesus gave them clues: this is a parable about the coming kingdom (of which the Jews had the wrong belief) and it is a parable about “hearing.” The only other ingredient needed was a knowledge of farming—seed responds differently to different soils and that's the way the kingdom of God is! That's not rocket science, but it does need careful meditation.  The point is, the possibility of understanding was present in the parable. One of the themes of Mark's account is the dullness of the apostles and the Jews in general. However, though Jesus gives a mild rebuke to the disciples in the house, he commends them for asking in order to learn and condemns the multitude for not pursuing an answer. With the above knowledge, “why did Jesus speak to them in parables?” Did he expect the multitude to understand? No way! Not even the apostles understood. In fact, at the moment Jesus does not intend for the multitude to understand: “but for those outside everything is in parables, so that they may indeed see but not perceive, hear but not understand…” (Mark 4:11-12). He is looking for people who desire to know and learn; people who will come and ask and pursue the greatest offer made to mankind, the Kingdom!—“to you it is given to know, but to those outside it is not given!”  Therefore, Jesus purposely does not make everything perfectly understandable to every person on every point.  Does that surprise you? We would be appalled if a preacher today gave a sermon of five parables without explanation! The expectation was and is that each person would bring their brain to the study and go into discovery mode and draw conclusions from what they heard and then ask questions and seek answers. Jesus was testing their hearts, testing their desire for the Kingdom of God! Consider some examples; Example: Exodus 3:6 “I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Jesus strongly rebuked the Sadducees for not understanding the resurrection based on this verse. Listen to his words, “Is this not the reason you are wrong, because you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God?” (Mark 12:24). And in Matthew's account, “Have you not read what was said to you by God?” (22:31). Example: Matthew 22:41-46 Jesus asked the Jews a question they could not answer. Why didn't the Master Teacher go beyond the question and give them the answer? We would never have left the conversation at that point! When Jesus went away after the question, there would have been two kinds of soil left behind. Some would have been so predisposed to the Messiah being a mere human, they wouldn't have cared. They had already made up their minds. But others would not have been able to get the question off their minds and they would have gone to the scriptures to find the answer. It is these latter people who would be saved and who Jesus was interested in saving. Therefore, the message for us is critical—we need to learn aggressive listening, not simply with a sermon, but primarily with our own personal study. Jesus' Expectation of Aggressive Listening, Mark 4:21-25 This is Jesus' immediate followup to the interpretation of the parable of the Sower. Do you understand verses 21-23? This is such an interesting few verses because we easily skip them in favor of the simplicity of Jesus' explanation of the parable in the previous verses. But is Jesus finished with his explanation? Obviously not. He is giving the final explanation point on the message of the parables. The purpose of the parable is to bring everything that is hidden to light. In the Lord's Kingdom everything that is secret must be revealed. Nothing will be hidden any longer. Therefore, in the parable what is hidden that is being brought to light? It is the hearts of men and women! When Jesus preached his word throughout the entirety of scripture, it became a lamp. And the purpose of a lamp is to reveal and expose all that is in the room. When Jesus again repeats the words, “If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!” we are able to get the primary message of the parable. The parable illustrates exactly what happened after Jesus preached it. Some went away without a thought of what Jesus said (wayside ground). Some had a measure of belief, but never pursued any further so that they became “rooted” in Jesus' teachings (stoney ground). Others believed, but allowed the other desires and cares in their life to take precedence over the pursuit of the kingdom (thorny ground). And those who came into the house and asked for more and put following Jesus and bearing fruit the priority in their lives are the good ground. Do you see it? Jesus has exposed hearts—all of our hearts. And of the four types of soil/hearts only one is good. With this we can conclude that Jesus' is not trying to keep people from being saved by giving the parables, he is weeding out people who do not have the heart he desires. Therefore, consider what Jesus is doing—and I would say is always doing in his preaching and in the biblical text—he is testing us as hearers and revealing our hearts! Just think how much God has revealed in his word. But how often have we looked briefly just like the multitudes and just shrugged it off because it did not immediately peak our interest or we did not immediately understand. There are eternal consequences to dismissing biblical truths that do not interest us or we do not understand. Verse 24 “Pay attention to what you hear.” Jesus is the teacher and the Holy Spirit revealed everything in our Bibles. Pay attention to what you hear! If we don't, we have failed the test, and even what we have will be taken away from us. Jesus Destroys Our Excuses, Luke 11:5-13 The context is Jesus teaching the apostles how to pray. We read it easily; we read it simply, but we miss the point!  The parable: God is not like a friend who does not want to be bothered by another friend seeking bread at midnight. The friend gives the bread, but only because his neighbor won't stop banging on the door!  God is different. He loves people who ask, seek, and knock. And to those who do, it will be given, they will find, and the door will be opened. What kind of Father do you think God is! He is ready to give! Oh goody, we say. I can ask God for “things,” the things I've always wanted. That's not what Jesus is talking about. Verse 13 “…how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” Jesus just took away all our excuses. “It's too hard! It's too deep! I'm not a scholar!” Sorry, that doesn't work. Jesus just gave us two keys to understand even the most obscure of his teachings. The best Bible student always asks questions while reading. Don't just read and don't just listen. Ask questions—that's what a seeker does. If you are not asking questions and desiring a fuller understanding, then you are not seeking. God rewards seekers—that is the promise Jesus gives in his application of the parable.  Most importantly, when you have the desire of a seeker, nothing in scripture becomes too “deep” or too hard for you. Two reasons: Jesus just made a promise to us that if we ask, seek, and knock, he will give abundantly to us. Therefore, the seeker is not trusting his or her own mental intelligence, but trusting God. Further, to convince ourselves that there are parts of scripture “too hard” for us, is to indict God. We are accusing God of not delivering his word in an understandable way. Is this not the the main point of the parable? There is nothing wrong with the seed! It is the ground that is the problem! We simply cannot buy into the idea that there are books of the Bible that are just too deep, too hard to understand. [Harrison is a new Christian, but nothing is too deep for Harrison. David and I can teach him anything and everything that is in a text. Harrison doesn't know that something in the Bible is too hard—and so he asks, seeks, and knocks, and the result is he always understands. And when he understands, he asks for more.  A hungry person eats differently than a person who has filled themselves with cake, pie, and deserts. Conclusion: The Bereans (Acts 17:11) are the perfect example of proper connection between teacher and listener. Paul preached a message to them that they had never heard before in spite of their knowledge of the scriptures. Their response is what made them more noble than the Jews in Thessalonica. Those Jews immediately rejected preaching that was new and different. But the Bereans searched the scripture. That is what Luke is commending and that is what God is commending when he inspired Luke to record those words.  Berry Kercheville The post Be Careful How You Hear (2): How To Understand The Message appeared first on Woodland Hills Church of Christ.

At Redeemer, we take seriously Jesus' call to "Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Apprenticeship to Jesus is not a one time decision, but a lifelong journey of following Jesus as our master-teacher. Since the goal of the Christian life is maturity in Jesus, apprenticeship must be deep and holistic, transforming the spiritual, physical, emotional, social, and vocational parts of men and women. Apprenticeship to Jesus is learning to practice the way of Jesus in our homes, relationships, neighborhoods, and jobs. We believe Christlikeness is cultivated as we implement spiritual practices, live in community with other believers, and submit to the Word and the Spirit. We agree with Dallas Willard who said, "that the gospel is opposed to earning, not effort." As we move towards cultivating a life of loving God and people, we trust Christ will mature us into his likeness. https://redeemerwichita.church/

Jesus was THE Master Teacher and His Mastering of parables helped many to understand. What a blessing to consider those parables and especially the parable of the ten virgins.

The Call reveals why this is the time of unfolding consciousness, how man can manifest this consciousness most easily, and what purpose Angelic Humans serve in the overall design of humanity's evolution. Not only is this a book of self-discovery, it is a primer for the activating soul who remembers a calling to this time and space to provide a portal through the ever-awakening consciousness for light, truth, and divinity to flow.This book is a manual of instruction demonstrating that there is only one force, only one energy - a unified field. There is no "other" out there. The mass consciousness of mankind aids in creating the illusion that there is a reality that is separate from itself. It is really by mass agreement that this is so and it can be changed at any time. The Angelic Humans are about changing that mass agreement.

This week on the Faculty Factory podcast we welcome Vicki Freeman, PhD, MASCP, MLS(ASCP)cm SCcm, FACB, for an exploration for staying professionally active alongside some common challenges to at least be aware of in retirement from full time faculty life. Dr. Freeman is a professor emeritus and former tenured chair in the Utmb Department of Clinical Laboratory Sciences. She's also the former associate dean for faculty development for the School of Health Professions. She was also a Distinguished Professor and a former Minnie Stephens Piper Professor. She was the director of the renowned UTMB Academy of Master Teachers among her many other contributions and positions held through her illustrious career in academic medicine. Her decision to retire was influenced by family and the challenges posed by COVID-19. She doesn't see retirement as an endpoint but as an opportunity to pivot toward rest and other meaningful activities. It also serves as a nice way to avoid some of the workplace politics she no longer is obligated to navigate. “I'm just not interested in putting up with the politics anymore and when the politics start getting involved, I know it is time to check out,” she told us.

The Age of Pisces was defined by a conservative adherence to lineage and tradition, since the deepest spiritual knowledge was never written down, but secretly transmitted from master to disciple. Only initiated candidates could receive tutelage under the auspices of a qualified adept, whereby the mysteries of esoteric religion were discreetly communicated from mouth to ear. While an effective model in the previous era, such guru yoga is obsolete today, given the prevalence and intensity of problems associated with degenerated traditions and misguided leaders. It is more safe and reliable to engage in the Aquarian dispensation: freely distributed knowledge, the development of spiritual autonomy, and self-reliance on the teaching, not blind obedience to a teacher or group. The Aquarian influence encourages both community and independence, supported through personal verification of any teaching. This is also without disregarding the value of qualified initiates and the sacrifices they have made for the spiritual evolution of humanity. See how through an exploration of an esoteric holiday (October 27th, 1954) known to gnostics as the Advent of Samael, as well as some direct warnings Samael Aun Weor made about the dangers of following terrestrial and “spiritual” personalities.

A discussion of the recent HTDS narrative episodes on FDR and the New Deal. Think of it as a book club for additional insights into these latest chapters of the HTDS chronological story of America. Professor Greg Jackson is joined by Professor Lindsey Cormack to discuss the government's response to the Great Depression and the legacy of the New Deal. They explore the causes of the Depression, the government's initial missteps, and the eventual successes of programs like the CCC. The episode also features an interview between Professor Cormack and historian Neil Maher, who wrote a book about the CCC. They discuss the history of the CCC, its impact on the environment and the economy, and its legacy today.   Lindsey Cormack is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Stevens Institute of Technology and the former Director of the Diplomacy Lab.

Maher is a Professor of History and Master Teacher in the Federated History Department at the New Jersey Institute of Technology and Rutgers University-Newark.  He is an award-winning author, instructor, and public speaker interested in the environmental and political history of the United States.
