Every year, a spectacular display of fireballs rises from the Mekong River in Thailand and Laos at the end of Buddhist Lent. They appear like clockwork—and defy logic. Scientists and skeptics point to natural explanations such as combustible gases or a hoax. But locals will tell you they are produced by the mythical Naga serpent…For a full list of sources, please visit: sosupernaturalpodcast.com/mystical-naga-fireballsSo Supernatural is an Audiochuck and Crime House production.

In this second part of the archival conversation, Hareesh continues his dialogue with hosts Stuart Goodnick and Dr. Robert Schmidt, turning toward the dynamics of the energy body, emotional digestion, and the long arc of integration. They explore how unresolved impressions (saṁskāras) shape our sense of self, why true digestion requires presence rather than suppression, and how imaginal practices in Tantra awaken a more fluid and responsive relationship to experience. The conversation also touches on ego structures, relational practice, and the pitfalls of spiritual dogma, offering a grounded look at what it means to mature both energetically and as a human.Discover a treasure trove of guided meditations, teachings, and courses at tantrailluminated.org.Find out more about the upcoming retreats and pilgrimages at https://www.tantrailluminated.org/calendar.

We're continuing the Priestess Pilgrimage re-release series with one of my favorite conversations I've ever had — recorded in a tiny pink hotel room in Athens with my best friend, the brilliant and beloved Layla Martin. In Part 3, we travel through Crete, one of the last known matriarchal societies on Earth. Layla and I explore what happens when feminine spiritual authority isn't erased but honored — and how cultures change when women and men hold power side-by-side. We dive into the serpent priestesses of ancient Crete, the origins of Kundalini, the hidden role caves played in feminine rites, and what it means to turn up the dial on your own divinity in a grounded, embodied way. We also share the very human, very messy, hilariously sacred moments inside the cave ceremony — a reminder that sometimes the divine arrives with sweat, fear, laughter, and tourists stumbling through your initiation. If you've ever felt the pull toward ancient feminine wisdom or sensed there's more to your own divinity than you've been taught… this episode is a homecoming. In this episode, we explore: • Ancient Crete & what true feminine leadership looked like • Why high priestesses held political, spiritual, and cultural authority • The serpent priestesses & how Kundalini was encoded in art • How caves became temples for birth, fertility, sexuality & magic • Using psychedelics intentionally to awaken—not escape • Preparing your body and nervous system for spiritual expansion • The real, messy moments behind mystical experiences Key Moments: [00:01:13] Returning from Crete & why this leg of the pilgrimage mattered [00:03:59] The soul memory that called Emily & Layla to Crete [00:04:47] Gnosis: the ancient queendom run by priestesses [00:07:21] Minoan matriarchy & serpent priestess symbolism [00:22:39] Entering the cave — the womb of the earth [00:28:11] Sacred sexuality & psychedelics as pathways to the divine [00:30:27] The cave initiation: fear, clearing & cosmic humor [00:36:03] Preparing your body for spiritual expansion [00:52:21] Mystical states without substances [01:00:08] Meditation as the foundation for integration About Layla Martin: Founder of the VITA Method, Tantra teacher, and internationally respected guide in sexual, emotional, and spiritual awakening.

In this episode of THE SOULFAM PODCAST, host Diana Marcketta welcomes back Sujon Datta, a bio-energetic healer, life architect and spiritual advisor. Sujon has worked with hundreds of clients individually and in groups. His journey started during a dark night of the soul when he departed from a corporate position at the urging of his guides. Lively, entertaining and beneficial to anyone on their spiritual quest,  this conversation delves into the profound energetic changes occurring on Earth and in the galaxy and the awakening of the collective.  Inspiring but real, this conversation gives practical advice and shares Sujon's methods for dealing with energy, consciousness, frequency and personal growth. Sujon shares insights from his 25 years of practice in the US and Canada. He emphasizes the importance of intuition, both his and yours. Sujon shares his secret for understanding individuals and clients by using the power of the eyes in understanding energy. This technique opens the door for him to support the journey towards self-realization and enlightenment. His upcoming book, "Supercharged," explores themes of acceptance, consciousness, and the interconnectedness of all beings. The discussion highlights the significance of aligning with one's true purpose, the role of love and compassion, and the transformative power of manifestation and understanding that life happens through you not to you.

In this solo episode, I explore the deep significance of ritual—especially as we move through the season of descent and into the longest night of the year. Modern culture has stripped ritual of its heart, reducing sacred rhythms to holidays and surface forms. What once rooted us in mystery has become spectacle or habit. In this conversation, I want to return to the essence of ritual as something alive—something that helps us remember what we've forgotten. I share personal stories and reflections from my own spiritual practice, from early meditation experiences to what I've learned through depth psychology and comparative religion. We'll look at how genuine ritual serves not as superstition, but as an act of remembering, reconnecting, and transforming—an embodied way of saying yes to the unseen life moving through us. This episode explores how ritual bridges matter and spirit, how mystical experience can reorient the psyche, and how remembering the sacred in everyday life is both an act of rebellion and a return home. Ritual invites us to tend what still burns within us—to live in rhythm with the mystery that underlies all things. Key Reflections Ritual anchors the sacred in the rhythms of everyday life. Modern culture often forgets the true essence and transformative power of ritual. Mystical and peak experiences ask to be honored, integrated, and lived—not chased. Remembering and reclaiming ritual is an act of rebellion, renewal, and belonging.

Ariel called to Leora, one of the librarians.He: "בליל אמש ראיתי שוב את האורות."En: "Last night, I saw the lights again."He: אבל ליאורה, אישה טובה, רק חייכה בעייפות.En: But Leora, a kind woman, just smiled tiredly.He: "אלה רק מטוסים," היא ענתה, אם כי עיניה הביעו חיבה לאמונה התמימה שלו.En: "They're just airplanes," she replied, though her eyes expressed affection for his innocent belief.He: אבל אריאל לא הניח לדבר.En: But Ariel didn't let it go.He: בלילה, כשכולם נרדמו, חזר לספרייה.En: At night, when everyone fell asleep, he returned to the library.He: הוא הצטייד בטלסקופ ובפתק קטן שבו כתב את תוכניתו: לבדוק, לצלם, להוכיח.En: He was equipped with a telescope and a small note where he wrote his plan: to check, to photograph, to prove.He: האורות לא יכלו להיות סתם מטוסים, הוא הופך ביפול שלו, והיה צריך לגלות יותר.En: The lights couldn't just be airplanes, he mulled over, and he had to find out more.He: במרחשים השקטה והמלבבת של הלילה, הוא התמקם על הדשא מול הספרייה.En: In the quiet and enchanting nighttime atmosphere, he settled on the lawn in front of the library.He: הירח היה בהיר, וכך גם התקווה שלו.En: The moon was bright, as was his hope.He: לפתע, נפתחו שערי השמים והאורות חזרו בשורה מסתובבת, מרחפים בצורה מופלאה.En: Suddenly, the gates of the sky opened, and the lights returned in a rotating sequence, hovering in a spectacular manner.He: הם התנועעו בדפוסים שלא דומים לשום כלי טיס מוכר.En: They moved in patterns unlike any known aircraft.He: לרגע, אריאל רק התבונן, אך אז החל לצלם ולאסוף ראיות.En: For a moment, Ariel just watched, but then he began to photograph and gather evidence.He: למחרת, עם ראיות בידיו ולב מלא התרגשות, פנה אל ליאורה שנדהמה מהממצאים.En: The next day, with evidence in his hands and a heart full of excitement, he turned to Leora who was astonished by the findings.He: "אנחנו חייבים לספר לכולם," אמר אריאל.En: "We have to tell everyone," said Ariel.He: באולם העיתונות המקומית, נאחל לו באריכות ימים מי שצחק עליו.En: In the local press hall, those who had laughed at him wished him a long life.He: אריאל ואהבתו לאסטרונומיה מצאו דרך בלבבות של אנשי העיר.En: Ariel and his love for astronomy found a way into the hearts of the townspeople.He: לאחר ששיתף את התמונות והסיפור בעיתון המקומי, זכה הערכה וחיבה מחבריו.En: After sharing the photos and story in the local newspaper, he gained appreciation and affection from his friends.He: הוא הבין את חשיבות האמונה ברעיונות שלו.En: He understood the importance of believing in his ideas.He: מאותו יום, אריאל כבר לא היה הנער המוזר; הוא היה החוקר הצעיר שסיפק הוכחה לעולם הנסתר שמעבר.En: From that day on, Ariel was no longer the odd boy; he was the young researcher who provided proof of the unseen world beyond.He: והספרייה הקטנה בפרברים זכתה לפרסום בזכות חוש ההרפתקנות שלו והידידות הכנה של ליאורה.En: And the small library in the suburbs gained fame thanks to his adventurous spirit and the sincere friendship of Leora.

Podcast: This week on The Mystical Positivist, we feature a pre-recorded conversation with returning guest Stephen Aronson about his new book, AS INSIDE, SO OUTSIDE, AS ABOVE, SO BELOW – Reconciling Science and Spirituality through Consciousness, published by Karnak Press in 2024. This series of essays represents perspectives from Stephen's half-century in the study of psychotherapy and spiritual exploration. He suggests that the energy we call consciousness is an inherent aspect of the Universe, the instrument through which the deepest understandings can be experienced. Stephen Aronson is a psychotherapist with an eclectic training background ranging from cognitive behavioral therapy to the alchemical approach of Carl Jung. His spiritual life has been a search for verification of a deeper reality underlying the ordinary world of our senses. His personal aim has been to find a way to reconcile science and spirituality which would unite the concept of Universal Intelligence with rationality. After more than a decade in Jungian analysis and over four decades of study and practice in the system of transformational psychology introduced to the West by G. I. Gurdjieff, he has sought to find an approach to illustrate these deep and complex ideas and methods in common language and universally shared experiences. Steve lives in rural Maine where he retired in 2013 after forty-three years in the practice of psychotherapy, education and training. He is also the author of THE SEARCH FOR MEANING AND THE MYSTERY OF CONSCIOUSNESS: A Psychologist's Journey Through Gurdjieff And Jung, has published on the subject of Spiritual Psychology in the Proceedings of the annual All and Everything International Humanities Conference, and has written for Parabola, a magazine dedicated to myth, tradition and the search for meaning.

In this episode of the Thinking Talmudist Podcast on Bava Metzia 85a, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe delves into the profound theme of suffering, mercy, and redemption through the stories of Rebbe (Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi) and Rabbi Elazar ben Rabbi Shimon. Rebbe, inspired by Rabbi Elazar's preserved body due to accepted suffering, voluntarily endured 13 years of excruciating illness—six of tzmirta (a beet-based treatment for urinary stones) and seven of tzfarna (thrush)—to attain spiritual merit. Despite his stableman's wealth and the deafening noise of feeding animals to mask Rebbe's cries, seafarers heard his agony. Yet Rabbi Elazar's suffering was deemed superior: it “came through love and left through love,” while Rebbe's stemmed from a specific incident. A calf, led to slaughter, sought refuge in Rebbe's garment and wept; Rebbe dismissed it, saying, “Go, for this you were created.” Heaven responded: no mercy shown, no mercy received. Thirteen years later, Rebbe's maid swept baby weasels; he intervened, citing Psalm 145:9—“His mercy is upon all His works”—and Heaven declared, “Since he shows mercy, We will show mercy.” His afflictions vanished.The Gemara contrasts their merits: during Rabbi Elazar's years in the attic, no one died prematurely; during Rebbe's 13 rainless years, the earth stayed saturated—radish holes brimmed with water—proving the tzaddikim's pain sustains the world. Rabbi Wolbe highlights the mystical power of 13 (love, unity, the 13 Attributes of Mercy, Torah hermeneutics), noting Rebbe's 13-year ordeal mirrored this divine framework. Posthumously, Rebbe sought Rabbi Elazar's son—a stunningly handsome youth prostituted by harlots—and entrusted him to his uncle for Torah study. Though the boy initially resisted, he grew into a sage; Rebbe applied Proverbs 11:30—“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life”—to both teacher and student. Burial dramas underscored merit: Rabbi Elazar joined his father Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai in the cave (earned by shared suffering), but his son was barred by a serpent—Heaven clarified it was due to lacking cave-endured pain, not lesser righteousness._____________The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way.

In today's episode, Mellissa pulls back the curtain on one of the hottest buzzwords in leadership and coaching today: neuroscience. While corporate and executive programs rush to anchor every insight in brain scans and data, Mellissa challenges the obsession with what can be measured and calls us to reclaim the mystery, intuition, and higher intelligence that science alone can't explain. Drawing on her years of working with intuitive professionals and grounded mystics alike, Mellissa explores how our fixation on "neural hacks" and logical proof can actually limit human potential. True wisdom, she argues, doesn't live only in the amygdala or prefrontal cortex, it flows from the greater field of consciousness itself. If you've ever felt torn between your rational mind and your intuitive knowing, this episode will help you bridge both and expand beyond the box of "what can be proven." In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why neuroscience can only take us so far in understanding human intelligence How intuition operates beyond measurable neural processes The risks of over-reliance on logic and "brain-based" coaching How to integrate neuroscience with mysticism for more authentic leadership Why the most powerful breakthroughs come when science and spirit work together Are you ready to lead from your full intelligence, not just your brain? Join the conversation and share your thoughts in the Wisdom Collective.   More Resources:

more:fluentfiction.com/sv/episode/2025-11-11-23-34-02-sv Story Transcript:Sv: Det var en kall och dimmig höstmorgon i Dimman-Myrens Nationalpark.En: It was a cold and foggy autumn morning in Dimman-Myrens Nationalpark.Sv: Träden reste sig som spöklika siluetter genom den täta dimman.En: The trees rose like ghostly silhouettes through the thick fog.Sv: Lars, en tystlåten och nyfiken tonåring, såg ut över landskapet.En: Lars, a quiet and curious teenager, looked out over the landscape.Sv: Han var där med sin biologiklass på en utflykt.En: He was there with his biology class on a field trip.Sv: Men Lars hade en egen hemlig plan — han ville se den silvervingade falken, en fågel som många bara hade hört talas om.En: But Lars had his own secret plan — he wanted to see the silver-winged falcon, a bird that many had only heard about.Sv: Emma, deras lärare, samlade klassen.En: Emma, their teacher, gathered the class.Sv: "Kom ihåg att gå försiktigt och håll er i grupp," sa hon och log.En: "Remember to walk carefully and stay in the group," she said with a smile.Sv: "Vi kommer att leta efter olika växter och djur idag."En: "We are going to look for different plants and animals today."Sv: Lars nickade, men höll sin kikare nära.En: Lars nodded, but kept his binoculars close.Sv: Han hade hört att den silvervingade falken bodde djupt in i myren, där få vågade sig.En: He had heard that the silver-winged falcon lived deep in the marsh, where few dared to venture.Sv: Vid hans sida gick Anton, alltid pratsam, alltid full av energi.En: By his side walked Anton, always talkative, always full of energy.Sv: "Vad tittar du efter, Lars?"En: "What are you looking for, Lars?"Sv: frågade Anton och skrattade.En: asked Anton and laughed.Sv: "Tror du verkligen att en sådan fågel finns?"En: "Do you really think such a bird exists?"Sv: Lars kände snart att han behövde en paus från Antons prat.En: Lars soon felt he needed a break from Anton's chatter.Sv: Dimman var tät, och Anton gjorde det svårt att koncentrera sig.En: The fog was thick, and Anton made it hard to concentrate.Sv: Lars tog ett djupt andetag och bestämde sig.En: Lars took a deep breath and decided.Sv: Han skulle utforska en bit bort på egen hand.En: He would explore a bit further on his own.Sv: Han smög sig bort från gruppen och vandrade djupare in i skogen.En: He slipped away from the group and wandered deeper into the forest.Sv: Det blev tystare ju längre han gick.En: It grew quieter the further he went.Sv: Lars stannade upp ibland och lyssnade.En: Lars stopped occasionally to listen.Sv: Plötsligt såg han något röra sig i träden.En: Suddenly, he saw something move in the trees.Sv: Lars höll andan, lyfte försiktigt kikaren, och där, på en gren, satt den — silvervingade falken!En: Lars held his breath, carefully lifted his binoculars, and there, on a branch, it sat — the silver-winged falcon!Sv: Den var större än han tänkt sig, med fjädrar som glimmade i det gråa ljuset.En: It was bigger than he had imagined, with feathers that shimmered in the gray light.Sv: Lars visste att han måste vara tyst.En: Lars knew he had to be quiet.Sv: Han tog fram sin kamera och höll den stadigt.En: He took out his camera and held it steadily.Sv: Med ett klick fångade han fågelns bild precis när dimman började lätta.En: With a click, he captured the bird's image just as the fog began to clear.Sv: Han stod kvar en stund, fascinerad och fylld av en ovan känsla av triumf.En: He stood there for a moment, fascinated and filled with an unusual sense of triumph.Sv: Snart hörde han rop bakom sig.En: Soon he heard calls behind him.Sv: "Lars!En: "Lars!Sv: Var är du?"En: Where are you?"Sv: Det var klassens röster.En: It was the class's voices.Sv: Han sprang tillbaka mot rösterna, glad och ivrig att dela sitt fynd.En: He ran back towards the voices, happy and eager to share his discovery.Sv: När han kom fram visade han stolt upp bilden för Emma och sina klasskamrater.En: When he arrived, he proudly showed the picture to Emma and his classmates.Sv: "Wow," utbrast Emma.En: "Wow," exclaimed Emma.Sv: "Du hittade verkligen den!En: "You really found it!Sv: Fantastiskt jobb, Lars."En: Fantastic job, Lars."Sv: Anton gav honom en klapp på axeln, med ett stort leende.En: Anton gave him a pat on the shoulder with a big smile.Sv: "Jag trodde inte att du skulle hitta något, men du gjorde det.En: "I didn't think you'd find anything, but you did.Sv: Bra gjort!"En: Well done!"Sv: Lars kände sig modigare än någonsin.En: Lars felt braver than ever.Sv: Han hade inte bara bevisat att falken existerade, utan också vunnit respekt från sina vänner.En: He had not only proven that the falcon existed but also won the respect of his friends.Sv: Från den dagen talade han mer öppet om sina intressen, och hans klasskamrater lyssnade gärna.En: From that day on, he spoke more openly about his interests, and his classmates listened gladly.Sv: Utflykten slutade med alla samlade runt Emma, som avslutade dagen med orden: "Vi lärde oss mycket idag.En: The field trip ended with everyone gathered around Emma, who concluded the day with the words: "We learned a lot today.Sv: Naturen är full av hemligheter, och ibland krävs det mod för att upptäcka dem."En: Nature is full of secrets, and sometimes it takes courage to discover them."

Podcast: This week on the show we feature a pre-recorded conversation with Donna McLaughlin, Mahamudra teacher in the Karma Kagyu tradition. Donna was first introduced to the Dharma in her teenage years. In 1970, having finished college, she travelled overland to India. After attending retreats in Bodhgaya with S. N. Goenka, she stayed at a Buddhist mission outside Delhi. Several people had already mentioned the name of Kalu Rinpoche to her, but it wasn't until she met Ken McLeod at that mission that she learned how to negotiate the logistical difficulties in getting to Darjeeling. In 1971, she made the journey to Kalu Rinpoche's monastery in Sonada, near Darjeeling. Her meeting with him was a turning point, solidifying her commitment to this branch of Buddhist practice. Along with other practices, Kalu Rinpoche encouraged her to study Mahamudra. Instruction and guidance was difficult to come by in those days and it was only with the 1986 publication of Tashi Namgyal's Mahamudra: The Quintessence of Mind and Meditation, that she appreciated the full scope and range of Mahamudra teaching. In the 1980's, she attended two Mahamudra retreats with Ken McLeod. She then attended four more Mahamudra retreats with Thrangu Rinpoche, a senior scholar and meditation master in the Karma Kagyu tradition. In the course of these retreats, he became her principal teacher. Her transcriptions of the teachings he gave at those retreats were later published under the title Essentials of Mahamudra. In 1990, with Thrangu Rinpoche's blessing, she and Peter Barth, another student of Thrangu Rinpoche, co-taught a Mahamudra study group for four years in Sonoma County, California. In 1996 she joined with Lama Palden, a graduate of the three-year retreat, to establish the Sukhasiddhi Foundation in Marin County, California. There she continued to teach Mahamudra. In 2006, Thrangu Rinpoche suggested she teach under his auspices in Sonoma County as part of the Vajra Vidya or Indestructible Heart Wisdom network. To this day, she continues to teach and guide students in this practice. More information about Donna McLaughlin's work can be found at:   The Practice of Mahamudra website: www.mahamudra-practice.com.

What if your stepfather was one of the most misunderstood yet spiritually profound composers of the 20th century—and your mother spent years writing his story? In this episode, Bill Holst shares the extraordinary journey behind Alan Hovhaness: Unveiling One of the Great Composers of the 20th Century, a memoir built from the poetic writings of his late mother and enriched with his own personal reflections. Alan Hovhaness was known for his deeply mystical, culturally diverse compositions, drawing from Armenian roots, Eastern music traditions, and nature itself. Bill shares how Hovhaness faced rejection early in his career—even from names like Leonard Bernstein and Aaron Copland—yet stayed true to his vision, ultimately creating over 500 pieces of music that defied genres and resonated with artists like Carlos Santana and Ravi Shankar. We dive into the soulful relationship between Bill's mother and Hovhaness, the spiritual lens through which he viewed life and art, and the thousands of unpublished and rediscovered works that are still being archived today. From midnight storytelling sessions to mysterious reincarnated cats, this conversation uncovers the composer's otherworldly spirit and the love that defined his final decades. Discover how Bill Holst is carrying forward the legacies of both his mother and Alan Hovhaness—one page, and one note, at a time. #AlanHovhaness #BillHolst #ComposerLegacy #MysticalMusic #BooksThatMakeYou #Memoir
