Author Ravi Kathuria has been drawn to spirituality ever since childhood. As a business thought leader, management consultant and executive coach, he has been quoted by news media outlets such as the Wall Street Journal, NPR, and the PBS Nightly Business Report. His first book, How Cohesive is your Company? offered a holistic, cohesive management method that received high praise from top executives and business professors. With Happy Soul. Hungry Mind., his second book, Ravi applied his analytical and intuitive skills to resolve the complexity and confusion of spirituality. https://happysoulhungrymind.com/

Happy Soul, Hungry Mind: Why Success Still Feels Empty   "I made the money. And where is the happiness? Where is happiness? Can somebody answer that? Society, parents, friends, everybody said, make money, make money. Don't think about anything else. Work like a dog, make money. I made the money. And where is the happiness?" You've hit the number. The bank balance looks good. You've done everything "right." So why does something still feel... empty? In this profound Richer Soul episode, author and executive coach Ravi Kathuria reveals why even a million dollars a month can't buy peace and shares an ancient parable that exposes the invisible prison keeping you from true fulfillment.   Key Insights: Your "rotten fish" owns you, because whether it's a business, career, or bank account, the very thing you chase for happiness often becomes the bubble trapping you from experiencing real peace and freedom. Money with "nuisance value" destroys wealth, as earning income that brings tension, pressure, or robs your peace isn't true prosperity—it's a prison with a good view. Self-worth tied to net worth creates endless suffering, because even billionaires like Elon Musk chase trillion-dollar valuations not for money, but for external validation they'll never fully receive. Spirituality is non-religious and available to everyone, as it's simply "the experience of your own soul"—no gurus, pilgrimages, scriptures, or beliefs required, just the ability to quiet your mind. Your mind is both tool and obstacle, because while it's essential for navigating the material world, it acts as a "bouncer" preventing you from accessing the infinite spiritual energy already within you. Quieting the mind isn't meditation—it IS the gateway, and when your thoughts become still, your soul automatically shines through like the sun emerging from behind clouds, requiring no special techniques or effort.   Money Learning from Ravi: Ravi grew up in a middle-class family in India, where his father worked for the government. They had enough to live comfortably—food, vacations, a modest car—but never splurged on luxury. What stayed with Ravi wasn't the amount of money they had, but his father's philosophy: never earn money that creates "nuisance value." His father never made financial decisions that brought tension, pressure, or potential unhappiness to the family. That principle shaped Ravi's entire relationship with money: he wants to earn money that has positive energy, that uplifts life rather than creates more worries. Today, coaching CEOs and wealthy individuals, he sees the irony: people with all the money in the world still worried about money because they've lost sight of what money is actually for.   Key Discussion Points: Why successful people ask "Where is the happiness that money promised?" The danger of money that creates "nuisance value" in your life The client making $1 million per month who drives 3.5 hours to save $50 Why Elon Musk, worth $400+ billion, is fighting for another $400 billion The Ancient Parable: The poor fish seller who couldn't sleep in the king's palace How she missed her "rotten fish" and rejected luxury for familiar discomfort The king's profound realization: "My kingdom is MY rotten fish" What is YOUR rotten fish? What bubble are you trapped in? Why self-worth should never be tied to net worth The critical difference between being "frugal" and being "cheap" Redefining Spirituality: "Spirituality is the experience of your own soul" Why spirituality is NON-RELIGIOUS and has nothing to do with God Spirituality is in your DNA—it's not a choice, it's your birthright The Mind Paradox: Your mind helps you navigate the material world but acts as a "bouncer" blocking spiritual access How to quiet the mind: It's simpler than you think Meditation is NOT concentration, music, mantras, or focusing on thoughts Meditation is something that HAPPENS to you when your mind becomes still The automatic phenomenon: When clouds dissipate, the sun shines through Why you don't need gurus, pilgrimages, scriptures, or anyone's blessing Who owns who: Do you own your business or does your business own you? The power of learning to "let go of your rotten fish" Starting simple: Put down your phone, lie in bed quietly, walk in nature How to create "nothing time" and mind purge exercises Making peace a daily practice, like brushing your teeth Why financial success without inner peace is still poverty The question that changes everything: "What would you do if you had all the money?"   Key Takeaway: The palace won't make you happy if you're still clutching your basket of fish. True wealth isn't about the size of your bank account—it's about freeing yourself from the mental prison of constant chasing, validation-seeking, and identifying your worth with your net worth. When you learn to quiet your mind and experience your own soul, you discover the ultimate gift: inner peace that no amount of money can buy and no external circumstance can take away.   Bio: Ravi Kathuria is the author of Happy Soul Hungry Mind, a groundbreaking book that bridges the gap between material success and spiritual fulfillment. Born and raised in India for the first 25 years of his life, Ravi now lives in Houston, Texas, where he works as an executive coach and mentor to CEOs and highly successful business leaders. His unique approach combines Eastern spiritual wisdom with Western business pragmatism, helping clients break free from the "now what?" trap that follows financial success. Ravi's philosophy is refreshingly simple: spirituality is the experience of your own soul—nothing more, nothing less. It requires no religion, no guru, no special rituals. Through his coaching, speaking, and writing, Ravi helps people understand that the peace, happiness, and fulfillment they've been chasing externally has been within them all along, waiting to be discovered through the simple practice of quieting the mind.   Links: Website: SpiritualityWithin.com SOCIAL MEDIA: https://www.facebook.com/SpiritualityWithin/   https://forms.gle/HBqbGrZKfXeMSTyeA     https://x.com/SpiritualityWit     https://www.youtube.com/@SpiritualityWithin       #RicherSoul #InnerW ealth #MoneyMindset #Spirituality #Meditation #LifeBeyondMoney #HappySoulHungryMind #ExecutiveCoaching #PersonalFreedom #MindfulLiving #SoulSearching #FinancialFreedom #LifePurpose #Consciousness #InnerPeace   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

During treatment, everything changes in an instant—like being launched out of ordinary life into an unfamiliar space. There, he's still “him,” yet unbound by the body, and he's shown something that feels like a record of his life. When he's pulled back, the contrast is so extreme it reshapes how he thinks about purpose, time, and the way we treat each other.

Laura and Andrew sit down with therapist and healing guide Elizabeth DeVaughn for a powerful conversation about what it really takes to move through trauma and come home to yourself. Elizabeth shares pieces of her own story, including the experiences that led her into this work, and opens up about the practices and principles that help people rebuild self trust after years of shame, fear, or being told to disconnect from their own bodies.They talk about how self awareness and self compassion become the foundation of healing, why so many of our patterns are rooted in old survival strategies, and how to gently challenge the beliefs that no longer serve us. Elizabeth offers practical tools for strengthening self worth, interrupting harmful scripts from the past, and creating more space for authenticity in relationships. The three also explore the importance of community, nervous system support, and daily practices that keep us grounded as we unravel religious conditioning or trauma. It is an encouraging, honest conversation about becoming who you were always meant to be.Share your purity culture stories with us by leaving a voicemail or sending your story to us!Elizabeth's Info: Website: CTRR Practitioner bio pageSocial Media: Website: www.elizabethdevaughn.com, Instagram: @elizabethmdevaughnAnything else (e.g. book title and link) Resources discussed in this episode: Rest is ResistanceAnatomy of Trust video by Brene BrownThis podcast is brought to you by the Center for Trauma Resolution and Recovery: an online trauma coaching company whose practitioners are trauma informed and trauma trained to work with individuals, couples and families who have experienced high control religion, cults, and religious trauma.

Question about providing verifiable, non-religious evidence that a supernatural Jesus existed.   I am an atheist and militantly anti-god-belief. However, I do have an open mind, so could you please provide verifiable, non-religious evidence that a supernatural Jesus actually existed?

Preview: This preview focuses on George Gamow's Soviet Unionescape. Gamow represented expanding universe (Big Bang), while Fred Hoyle represented static universe (Steady State). Non-religious and apolitical, Gamow drew the line when communists demanded science be interpreted through Marxist-Leninist philosophy. He attempted escaping with his wife via rubber kayak across the Black Sea to Turkey, but storms forced return. Niels Bohr secured their escape by arranging Gamow as Soviet representative to 1933 Solvayconference. 2007 HUBBLE TO ABELLGALAXY  CLUSTER AT 5 BILLION LLIGHT YEARS (GA)

In today's episode, Leslie welcomes back Jim Palmer, a former evangelical mega church pastor turned advocate for religious deconstruction and non-religious spirituality. They delve into Jim's transformative journey from his early religious experiences to his crisis of faith and subsequent shift towards helping others navigate religious trauma and existential health. Jim shares insights from his recent sabbatical on a secluded island in British Columbia, discussing the importance of community, critical thinking, and self-trust in the deconstruction process. The conversation touches on the evolution of religious beliefs, the impact of societal structures on personal well-being, and the broader implications of moving towards a more inclusive, meta-modern understanding of spirituality rooted in personal meaning and love.Learn more about what Jim does on his website: https://nonreligiousspirituality.com podscan_CTf7ven7MdKvY3wpy2gLNP28R0XfPHdm  Honoring the Journey is hosted, produced and edited by Leslie Nease and the artwork for the show is also created by Leslie Nease.Want to get updates/announcements and a FREE Deconstruction Journaling Prompt PDF?

It feels weird to call yourself a “None,” but according to demographers, that's what I am: one of millions of Americans who understand themselves as “religiously unaffiliated.” That means atheists, agnostics, and people who answer “nothing in particular” when asked if they practice a religion. Today, Nones make up 28% of the U.S. population — up from 16% in 2007. But just because you're religiously unaffiliated doesn't mean you don't want some of the things that often come with religion: ritual, community, ethics, care. So what does that look like? How do we find it while also avoiding culty wellness s**t? Fellow None (and atheist Jew) Vanessa Zoltan, who's currently teaching a class at Harvard on spiritual care for the non-religious, is here to help answer all your questions. (Also note: this one's for Nones and Non-Nones, people with a lot of religious experience and people with very little, people repelled by religion and people hungry for it. It might not seem like something in your wheelhouse, but if you're interested, broadly, in ideas about friends, community, how to have serious conversations, and why people get really really into Crossfit, you're going to love it) Join the ranks of paid subscribers and get bonus content, access to the discussion threads, ad-free episodes, and the knowledge that you're supporting an indie pod trying to make its way in the world.

We celebrate the fact that Pew reports 43 percent of young adults are nonreligious, and that overall the "Nones" (nonreligious) are larger than any religious denomination. Mandisa Thomas, founder and president of Black Nonbelievers, tells us about the upcoming Revival of Reason conference in Atlanta. Then, we speak with public-health expert Professor Patrick L. Remington, who is on the board of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's "Morbidity and Mortality Weekly," about the dangers that religion and the right-wing administration pose to the work of the CDC.

It's Wednesday, February 12th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nepal detained 13 Christians over evangelism International Christian Concern reports the government of Nepal detained 13 Christians last week over alleged evangelistic activities in the south Asian country. Twelve of the people are U.S. citizens, and one is a citizen of India. The American Christians were visiting Nepal on tourist visas and helping construct a building in the southeastern city of Dharan. However, officials accused them of sharing their faith with locals.  The country currently bans attempts to convert someone from one religion to another. Authorities released the group of foreign Christians. However, the Nepalese Christians faced greater harassment for evangelizing, including years in prison.  United Kingdom targets pro-lifers again Authorities in the United Kingdom continue to target pro-lifers. Alliance Defending Freedom UK released footage on Monday of the latest incident. Isabel Vaughan-Spruce is a co-director of March for Life UK, and was standing silently outside of an abortion mill recently. However, police told her that her mere presence was causing “harassment, alarm, and distress.” The pro-lifer has already faced arrest twice for silently praying outside abortion mills. She said, “[The officer] believes that just because I hold pro-life beliefs, I am automatically a criminal in certain public areas. This isn't right!” Proverbs 17:15 says, “He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.” 36% of Swiss are non-religious Evangelical Focus reports the religious landscape in Switzerland is changing.  The largest religious group in the European country is those who say they have no religion at 36%. That's up from 1% in 1970. Twenty-percent of the population identifies with the mainline Protestant Swiss Evangelical Church, down from 49% in 1970. And 31% identify with the Catholic Church, down from 42% in 2000. However, independent Evangelical churches appear to be growing even though they represent a small portion of the population at about 6%.  Sadly, 17% of Evangelicals report experiencing religious discrimination.  Trump imposes 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports Here in the United States, President Donald Trump signed an order on Monday to impose 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports.  Trump called it a “big deal” while signing. TRUMP: “This is a big deal. This is the beginning of making America rich again.” Peter Navarro, Trump's trade adviser, told reporters, “It's about ensuring that America never has to rely on foreign nations for critical industries like steel and aluminum.” Canada and Mexico will probably face the most repercussions from the tariffs as they are the largest exporters of steel and aluminum to the U.S. Google changed Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America for American users On Monday, Google changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on its maps program. The change applies to users of the application in the U.S. This comes after President Trump ordered the body of water to be called the Gulf of America in U.S. government documents. He also issued a proclamation recognizing February 9 as Gulf of America Day.  The government, database known as the Geographic Names Information System, released this update.  “The Gulf of America, formerly known as the Gulf of Mexico, with an average depth of 5,300 feet is a major body of water bordered and nearly landlocked by North America with the Gulf's eastern, northern, and northwestern shores in the U.S. and its southwestern and southern shores in Mexico.” Psalm 95:3, 5 reminds us, “For the LORD is the great God, and the great King above all gods. … The sea is His, for He made it; and His hands formed the dry land.” Google kisses DEI goodbye Speaking of Google, the major tech company is ending its diversity goals.  Alphabet, Google's parent company, released their annual report last week. The report excluded previous language of commitment to “diversity, equity, and inclusion.”  This comes after President Trump signed an executive order, ending diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in the government.  Google said they would not be continuing such programs since it is a federal contractor.  Shark attacks are down And finally, here's some good news! Shark attacks are down this year, according to the International Shark Attack File maintained by the Florida Museum of Natural History. There were 47 unprovoked shark attacks recorded around the world last year, down from the 10-year average of 70. And only four of those attacks resulted in fatalities, also significantly down from previous years. Neil Hammerschlag with the Shark Research Foundation said, “With more people using the oceans than ever before — whether for recreation, fishing, or other activities — you might expect bite incidents to rise. Yet, the fact that numbers are even lower than last year reinforces the idea that humans aren't natural prey or even likely targets for sharks.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, February 12th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.
