In How Schools Make Race: Teaching Latinx Racialization in America, (Harvard Education PR, 2024) Laura C. Chávez-Moreno uncovers the process through which schools implicitly and explicitly shape their students' concept of race and the often unintentional consequences of this on educational equity. Dr. Chávez-Moreno sheds light on how the complex interactions among educational practices, policies, pedagogy, language, and societal ideas interplay to form, reinforce, and blur the boundaries of racialized groups, a dynamic which creates contradictions in classrooms and communities committed to antiracism. Dr. Chávez-Moreno urges readers to rethink race, to reconceptualize Latinx as a racialized group, and to pay attention to how schools construct Latinidad (a concept about Latinx experience and identity) in relation to Blackness, Indigeneity, Asianness, and Whiteness. The work explores, as an example, how Spanish-English bilingual education programs engage in race-making work. It also illuminates how schools can offer ambitious teachings to raise their students' critical consciousness about race and racialization. Ultimately, Dr. Chávez-Moreno's groundbreaking work makes clear that understanding how our schools teach about racialized groups is crucial to understanding how our society thinks about race and offers solutions to racial inequities. The book invites educators and scholars to embrace ambitious teaching about the ambivalence of race so that teachers and students are prepared to interrogate racist ideas and act toward just outcomes.

Betty Kovacs returns for another episode to share her wisdom on the topic of masculinity and femininity. She has been teaching throughout the years the masculine and feminine duality of individuals. To Betty, it is important to know and remember that these masculine and feminine images are archetypes and symbols of realities and potentialities within each one of us. When we are born male or female, we will tend to have certain tendencies nurtured by society as well as biologically. However, as we grow, we nurture tendencies more than the other and when we relate to other people, we are learning constantly about the way we look at the world. Betty Kovacs is a professor of literature, writing, and symbolic mythic language of 25 years and is the author of “Merchants of Light: The Consciousness That Is Changing the World”. She won the Nautilus Silver Book Award and the Scientific & Medical Network 2019 Book Prize and has also written “The Miracle of Death: There Is Nothing But Life.” What we discuss: 01:03 – Introducing Betty 03:17 – Divine masculinity and femininity through spirituality 12:04 – Respect and reverence for life 20:56 – Energetic shift and origins of a worldwide culture 28:10 – Trust and openness 31:15 – Masculine and feminine energies in legal structures 47:14 – New age thought, spirituality, and religion 49:56 – Integrating masculine and feminine polarity 1:05:59 – Revelations into the time of the feminine 1:13:09 – Finding wholeness 1:17:09 – Betty on behalf of the Divine Mother   Learn more from Betty Kovacs: The Kamlak Center Official Website To learn more about Global Sisterhood go to www.globalsisterhood.org To join a virtual circle with us go to http://www.globalsisterhood.org/virtual-circles To follow us on Instagram @theglobalsisterhood @Lauren Elizabeth @shainaconners     Global Sisterhood Virtual Circles | Global Sisterhood Connect and nourish yourself in the sacred space of sisterhood—anywhere.

I'm joined today with Betty Kovacs who has her PHD in Comparative Literature and Theory of Symbolic/Mythic Language. Betty is an amazing woman who I really enjoyed having on as a guest. Her expertise in symbolic and mythic language, as it relates to the discussion we have in this episode, is about the stories and ancient writings and myths we grew up hearing about. In this episode we talk about how these stories we're all familiar with were initially constructed, told, and passed on for our development and growth as people and a society. There is a noticeable gap between the rational mind and the minds of ancient, symbolic language and stories. However, while they go about communicating messages in different ways, the messages are quite similar, if not the same. With today's evolution and comprehension of science, Betty explains how there is a bridge between the two ways of communicating as history's stories and today's science are coming to a point.It helps to understand all of this before you listen because we will be fundamentally orienting our conversation around the understanding of these ancient stories and how they are comprehended today. We discuss our origins in this episode and Betty begins to explain how the common stories of early earth and humanity have potentially been miscommunicated. We also talk about how we all can grow from not only understanding these potential miscommunications, but also from the original intent of these stories themselves by understanding symbolic and mythic language/storytelling if you will.We discuss things like the difficulties of American politics, Hebrew texts and Origins, ancient shamanistic practices, a little about Jesus and who the Essenes were, sacred plants and consciousness and where all this takes us as science starts to better describe all of what we previously were taught about other dimensions and conscious realities.Links:Website - The Kamlak Center - Awakening to the Divine GameBook - Merchants of Light: The Consciousness That Is Changing the WorldBook - The Miracle of Death: There Is Nothing But LifeMore about Betty:Betty J.

“What happened to the feminine?” This is the question that has plagued Dr. Betty J. Kovacs in her reading of ancient texts. In her search for answers, she discovered that prehistoric civilizations honored the feminine as the source of opposites: of both life and death. Stories of the hero's journey symbolize the masculine's yearning to connect with his being in the feminine. True myths reveal that the divine is both masculine and feminine; we are all divine. Throughout history, the church and state have actively tried to suppress these soul stories. As a consequence, we inherited false narratives that deeply wound us. We believe we are flawed, therefore we look for salvation outside ourselves. The dark tales have become our reality—leaving us with a distorted patriarchal worldview that's evident in modern Western culture. To begin healing from this negativity, we must rediscover our sacred heritage: that we are all born from cosmic consciousness. Immortality, creativity, and divinity are our birthrights. Our mystic culture holds the knowledge for humanity's growth and development. We must bring together the symbolic and rational mind to solve this universal crisis. Betty also shares with us insights about dealing with loss. In the span of 3 years, she lost her mother, husband, and son in separate car crashes. Although she struggled to come to terms with reality, her worldview about life and death were ultimately transformed by her family's experience of precognitions, dreams, and visions. Betty is a writer and professor whose expertise lies in understanding consciousness and spirituality by unearthing long lost shaman-mystic traditions and ancient narratives. She obtained her doctorate in Comparative Literature and Theory of Symbolic/Mythic Language from the University of California. Her book, Merchants of Light: The Consciousness That is Changing the World, won the Nautilus Silver Book Award and The Scientific & Medical Network 2019 Book Prize. She is also the author of The Miracle of Death: There Is Nothing But Life.   What we discuss: 03:36 - The search for meaning of feminine symbols 08:06 - The divine is in all forms 13:50 - Life and death are intertwined 23:57 - Can two people share the same soul? 28:34 - Our inheritance of distorted stories 34:22 - How do we change our core belief of “I am not enough”? 42:22 - The dangers of a limited patriarchal worldview 50:41 - The mythic Jesus 53:58 - The split of the feminine from the eternal 1:00:11 - Betty's vision of love and light around the planet 1:04:29 - Balance through compassionate intellect 1:09:45 - What's the message of the Divine Mother to us?   Learn more from Betty: Website: kamlak.com   Join the Sacred Facilitator program: https://www.globalsisterhood.org/sacred-facilitator      

Dr. Betty J. Kovacs' understanding of consciousness and spirituality is based on both scholarly research and symbolic, visionary experience.  In fact, she has written two books concerning these subjects.  Her first book is about her family's profound visionary experiences surrounding multiple deaths in their family.  Her second book relates to our ancestors' experience of a vaster consciousness, Cosmic/Christ Consciousness. Within a three-year period, Dr. Kovacs experienced the deaths of her mother, her son, and her husband in separate automobile accidents.  While she had studied shamanism before her son's accident, she and her husband actually experienced their son's consciousness after his death for an extended period of time.  These experiences completely changed their lives.  Her first book, The Miracle of Death: There Is Nothing But Life, is about these altered states of consciousness.  After her retirement, she began an intensified period of research into our ancestors' experience of a vaster consciousness, Cosmic/Christ Consciousness, which she relates in her new book, Merchants of Light: The Consciousness That Is Changing the World, winner of the Nautilus Silver Book Award and The Scientific & Medical Network 2019 Book Prize. Dr. Kovacs' extensive research tracked the existence of a shamanic-mystic-scientist culture from at least 40,000 BCE.  Our ancestors had developed symbolic language and various shamanic techniques to trigger altered states of consciousness.  Some of these ancestors achieved great skill as visionaries, mystics, and scientists, while others, it is not known how many, achieved the ability to experience Cosmic Consciousness. Their Gift, the blueprint for our evolution, is the knowledge that we are all immortal, divine, and creative.  This blueprint is revealed in the heart wisdom of the mystic and the new science of quantum physics. Unfortunately, in the West, this sacred tradition was suppressed by both Church and State and lost to mainline culture, but it survived underground in the Hermetic arts, Alchemy, Gnosticism, Kabbalah, and Mystic Christianity.  This powerful tradition emerged four times in European history in an effort to integrate this larger consciousness into mainline culture. Each time the tradition emerged, the culture experienced a renaissance, as in the High Middle Ages, the Italian Renaissance, the Rosicrucian Enlightenment, and the German and English Romantic Period.  Each of these attempts was suppressed. The consistent suppression of this ancient wisdom is the root cause of our current planetary crisis.  And it can only be healed through the consciousness of the heart that births a just and feeling world.  This same tradition, on which our survival now depends, has once again emerged today—and it can change the world.

On this latest episode of the Blossom Your Awesome podcast I have a  deep and prolifically insightful conversation with Dr. Betty Kovacs. Dr. Betty Kovacs is a scholar in the subject of shaman-mystic spiritual traditions. And she believes the early knowledge that was left by the sages is a blueprint for our evolution. She tells me that Western religions have covered up this immense body of knowledge and wisdom that can ultimately not only transform us, but heal the world. Betty Kovacs is a modern day mystic with a deep understanding of church and state. She hs taught literature, writing and symbolic/mythic language for more than two and a half decades. She received her Ph.D. from the University of California, Irvine, in Comparative Literature and Theory of Symbolic/ Mythic Language. And she served as Chair and Program Chair on the Board of Directors of the Jung Society of Claremont in California and sits on the Academic Advisory Board of Forever Family Foundation.She shares her passion through her books, speaking, teaching and media interviews in the United States and Europe.  Betty has spoken to national and global audiences through webinars, keynote presentations and media interviews. Dr. Kovacs teaches with great intensity about the fruit of the tree of life is the knowledge that we are all Universal Mind, immortal, divine, and creators.  Betty Kovacs is the author of The Miracle of Death: There Is Nothing But Life and  Merchants of Light: The Consciousness That Is Changing The World - the winner of the Nautilus Silver Book Award and Medical Network 2019 Book Prize. We dive deep into her story of healing and tapping in to altered states of consciousness after experiencing the deaths of her mother, son and husband in automobile accident over a span of 3 years, one year after year. It's a powerful conversation that lends itself to insights and teaching and possible transcendence into the understanding of life and death.  

In this scintillating conversation, Dr. Kovacs and I discuss the nature of consciousness and who we are as human beings. We talk about the deep truths behind ancient myths. Dr. Kovacs has been exploring the nature of consciousness her whole life. This was greatly accelerated when, within a three-year period, her mother, her son, and then her husband were killed in three separate automobile accidents. While she had studied shamanism before her son's accident, she and her husband actually experienced their son's consciousness after his death for an extended period of time.  These experiences completely changed their lives.  Betty J. Kovacs, Ph.D. earned her doctorate from the University of California, Irvine, in Comparative Literature and Theory of Symbolic/Mythic Language.

Edwin Harkness Spina is an award-winning author, speaker and mystic. He is the author of Mystic Warrior and Mystic Secrets Revealed and the developer of Energy Center Clearing, a methodology created to align, balance and center individuals moving through these tumultuous times. He specializes in connecting people to their highest SELF, leading to greater intuition, clarity and joy. Before becoming a master healer, Ed went through an extreme metamorphosis. After graduating with a BSE degree in math and computer science from Tufts University, Ed began writing systems software for a computer manufacturer. He went on to receive an MBA from the University of Chicago with concentrations in finance and marketing. After graduating, he worked with various venture capital firms, and started several technology-based companies in the sports and music industries. Stressed out from his entrepreneurial ventures, Ed rented a video from Blockbuster that promised to help him relax and curiously, help him recall his past lives. To Ed's surprise, the video changed his life as he was able to recall a past life in substantial detail. Thus, began his 25+ year study of mysticism, metaphysics, energy healing and all things spiritual. The earnestness with which he desired to understand how the universe truly worked drew the attention of his first mentor. Through this relationship, Ed uncovered gifts his scientific mind would not have thought possible. After a few months, his primary means of communication with his mentor was telepathic. Ed continued his studies with long-term mystics and cutting-edge energy healers, when he met his second mentor, a Near Death Experiencer, who worked with Ed to raise his energy to new levels. After years of study and preparation, Ed combined his love of mysticism with his love of entrepreneurship and wrote his first book, Mystic Warrior, which won the Independent Publisher Book Award for Visionary Fiction and a Nautilus Silver Book Award for Fiction. He has since written Mystic Secrets Revealed, contributed to the bestseller 101 Great Ways to Improve Your Life and created numerous other CDs and audiobooks. He lives in Los Angeles, CA. He lectures around the world and offers energy clearings in person and remotely. His company, Higher Dimension Publishing, publishes books, CDs and videos that entertain, enlighten and educate readers in both the fiction and non-fiction areas.

Ever feel like you're living in one square inch of reality and calling it reality? Well, the fascinating Dr. Betty Kovacs has. I had the great privilege to talk her about life, death, religion, and everything in between on all dimensions of reality. Ever since she was child, learning about the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Dr. Kovacs started asking the big question of "WHY?" Her normal has always been trying to find ways to break out of the norm, step outside of it, and find something beyond that, because that is the nature of all of our creativity. We get into her studies of symbolic and mythic languages, how religion has influenced our way of life, how the pandemic is an example of the decay and destruction of the heart consciousness in western culture, quantum physics, essentially trying to answer the big questions of life and human existence, and so much more. We also dig into the amazing connections between the deaths of three people closest to Dr. Kovacs: her mother, husband, and son.  Dr. Kovacs earned her doctorate from the University of California, Irvine, in Comparative Literature and Theory of Symbolic/Mythic Language.  She taught Literature, Writing, and Symbolic/Mythic Language for twenty-five years.  She served many years as Chair and Program Chair on the Board of Directors of the Jung Society of Claremont in California and sits on the Academic Advisory Board of Forever Family Foundation.  Dr. Kovacs is author of Merchants of Light: The Consciousness That Is Changing the World, winner of the Nautilus Silver Book Award and the Scientific & Medical Network 2019 Book Prize.  She has also written The Miracle of Death: There Is Nothing But Life.  Dance life in snake boots!

When I stumbled across my next guest, I knew that it was yet another example of how there are no coincidences and I think on some levels I will be hard pushed to find a greater spiritual alignment in these discussions.

I hope you gain some enlightenment from listening to Betty's story. This podcast is brought to you by http://www.ethicalchangeagency.com (Ethical Change Agency).

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Betty Kovacs, author of Merchants of Light, about how the ancient civilizations had higher interconnectivity with cosmic consciousness through their shaman-mystic traditions.Today this consciousness is surfacing once again all around the world. It is rising out of the dreaming, symbolic, visionary mind that is sensitive to deeper orders of reality and in tune with the creative principles of both the human psyche and the universe. This mode of consciousness can heal the wounds of our current worldview by igniting these creative principles within modern, rational consciousness.Here’s what you can expect from the episode;- What is Merchants of Light?- What are the misunderstandings of our view of ancient civilizations?- How the ancient people were using sacred plants and other techniques to reach altered state of consciousness- How the Duerteronomists reversed the course of our spiritual and religious construct- What she thinks the ancient civilizations will say about our modern societyShe received her Ph.D. from the University of California, Irvine, in Comparative Literature and Theory of Symbolic/Mythic Language.

Episode 41 Was religion hijacked? My very special guest on the podcast today is Betty Kovacs, Ph.D. Last week I talked politics, this week it’s religion and 2,500 years of repression by both Church and State. More about Betty: Betty J. Kovacs’ extensive study of the shaman-mystic spiritual tradition of prehistory reveals how this early knowledge of the blueprint for our evolution was distorted and covered up by Western religions.  She shares her knowledge and passion through her books, speaking, teaching and media interviews in the United States and Europe.  She speaks to national and global audiences through webinars, keynote presentations and media interviews. More than 2,500 years of repression by both Church and State have thwarted our evolution, forced our science into a limited, materialistic understanding of life, and now threatens the survival of all life on our planet.  We need to know this history.  Twentieth-century scholars have unearthed this lost history in the nick of time.  In spite of its repression, this is the fifth time this ancient knowledge has emerged in Western history.  Only now are we able to see its origins, its continuity, and the depth of what it can mean for us today. The ultimate fruit of the tree of life is the knowledge that we are all Universal Mind, immortal, divine, and creators.  Without this knowledge of who we really are, we have fallen into depression, violence, fanaticism, fundamentalism, addiction to power, death and drugs that promise to transform our experience of a world without heart and soul.  We are destroying ourselves and the planet. We have forgotten that the heart connects us to a larger reality that nurtures the birth of a just and feeling world.  Merchants of Light: The Consciousness That Is Changing the World returns to us our shaman-mystic-scientist heritage that carries the blueprint for heart consciousness.  This blueprint is revealed in the heart wisdom of the mystic and in the new science of quantum physics.  The return of this Consciousness is changing the world. Author Betty J. Kovacs, Ph.D., a recognized expert, shares her knowledge and passion through her books, speaking, teaching and media interviews in the United States and Europe.  She speaks to national and global audiences through webinars, keynote presentations and media interviews.  She received her Ph.D. from the University of California, Irvine, in Comparative Literature and Theory of Symbolic/ Mythic Language.  She taught Literature, Writing, and Symbolic/Mythic Language for twenty-five years.  She served many years as Chair and Program Chair on the Board of Directors of the Jung Society of Claremont in California and sits on the Academic Advisory Board of Forever Family Foundation. Within a three-year period, she experienced the deaths of her mother, her son, and her husband in separate automobile accidents.  While she had studied shamanism before her son’s accident, she and her husband actually experienced their son’s consciousness after his death for an extended period of time.  These experiences completely changed their lives.  Her first book, The Miracle of Death: There Is Nothing But Life, is about these altered states of consciousness.  After her retirement, she began an intensified period of research into our ancestors’ experience of a vaster consciousness, Cosmic/Christ Consciousness, which she relates in her new book, Merchants of Light: The Consciousness That Is Changing the World, winner of the Nautilus Silver Book Award and The Scientific & Medical Network 2019 Book Prize.     Here [in Merchants of Light] are the spiritual secrets that the priests of the patriarchy and their drive for power have tried to repress, but which we urgently need at this present moment of evolutionary crisis.     __Lewellyn Vaughan-Lee, Ph.D., Sufi teacher and author The Kamlak Center: www.kamlak.com Heartmath.com Music for all episodes by Jon Griffin.

Marks is a research and spiritual medium, paranormal investigator, and author of Your Magical Soul: How Science and Psychic Phenomena Paint a New Picture of the Self and Reality(winner of 2012 Nautilus Silver Book Award in Science & Cosmology and silver finalist for the 2012 IBPA Benjamin Franklin Book Award in Body, Mind & Spirit), and theThe Afterlife Interviews: Volume I. A Columbia Gorge native, Jeffrey is a compassionate voice for the spirits, and has connected for both individuals and groups in the Pacific Northwest. Starting from a left-brained perspective, Jeffrey’s explorations take him into the right-brain and deep into the Other Side and provide him with the insight to present knowledge with humble authenticity, making him a true Consciousness Explorer. He is also the co-host of the Internet talk radio show Explorers of Consciousness, a founding member of the Northwest Mediumship Association, past president of the Washington State Ghost Society, and is a dynamic educator and speaker on spiritual potential. Jeffrey’s intent is unique among psychics and sets him apart: “My interest in being a psychic medium is not to use the ability to go out and do what other mediums are doing, or trying to duplicate them in hope of being John Edward or James Van Praagh or any of the others. I am using it to unlock the deeper possibilities inherent within people and to discover more about what it means to be a Soul. Yes, I can connect and pass messages and there’s incredible value in that (which I do a lot of the time), but I am also wishing to apply it to what I feel could answer the greater questions of life and consciousness. I am using the ability to learn more about what we are, what we are capable of, and hopefully reach a greater audience with it — in the hope of making the world a better place when I leave it than when I entered it.  I think, ultimately, that has the most value to me in the nature of this work.” Resources:  Read more from Jeffrey on his blog The Inner Voiceand check out his calendar of events on his website andFacebook.
