Men det tog mig mange år at kunne sige de ord højt - og en af grundene var religion.I denne soloepisode svarer jeg på jeres spørgsmål og inviterer dig lidt længere ind i mit eget forhold til tro, åndelighed og livet. For jeg tilhører ikke en religion, men forbindelsen til noget større har været en del af mig, siden jeg var barn.Du kan bl.a. høre mine refleksioner om:tro, åndelighed og religion - og hvorfor jeg længe havde svært ved at stå ved, at jeg er troendehvordan jeg selv oplever forbindelsen til noget størreintuition, og hvordan jeg mærker og navigerer efter dentillid til livet, også i de perioder, hvor det kan føles, som om livet er imod ossmerte og sorg, og hvordan de kan eksistere side om side med trohvorfor jeg elsker Rumi, og hvad hans ord og perspektiver vækker i migJeg deler ikke mine tanker, fordi jeg tror, jeg har svarene. Tværtimod. For mig handler tro i høj grad om at kunne være i det, vi ikke ved, ikke forstår og ikke kan kontrollere.En personlig episode om nogle af de store spørgsmål, I har sendt til mig, og som jeg selv bliver ved med at undersøge i mit eget liv.Tak fordi du træder ind i ENHED rummet

#7 Sacred Where does the sacred live? One initial response might be that it is present everywhere, if only we had eyes to see, and the wisdom to perceive and embrace it. How to define sacred in a way that feels real and accessible? For me, in simplest terms, it is the energy of connection. And I see that most clearly in seven aspects of this world: seasons, place, objects, home, the body, relationships, and beauty. As we turn into fall, and I pen these words in the midst of a full moon night, I am reminded of how solstice and equinox are such a part of me now, or rather I am attuned to them, this sacred passing of seasonal energetics. Suddenly – or so it seems – shorts and sleeveless shirts surrender to long pants and warm comfy garments. I feel the subtle anticipation of the first woodstove fire, the joys of ongoing harvest, and perhaps a slowing down for a soothing cup of tea with a good book. We all have our small rituals for this shifting dance of cycles, and in some indigenous cultures, ceremony to honor the transition is a way to ground one in the changes. My sense is that “the mystical” is merely (ha!) an intense experience of the sacred, a whole body-mind-soul tasting of the vast cosmic consciousness ocean we inhabit. It seems to be rooted quite firmly in place. Though quite clearly, it can give us a peak (PEEK!) experience via any of the seven realms mentioned above.  One of the first times for me was bodysurfing in Bali in my early thirties. My wife and first daughter were on the beach. It was one of those moments when everything coalesces in stillness, silence and solitude. The sun, sand and surf worked their magic, and I felt transported into a rarely visited heightened state of awareness. Another time, I was hiking with a friend off trail in Chaco Canyon, and as we descended into an arroyo, a deep penetrating feeling of dread filled me. Both of us, actually, as we talked about it later. As if a battle had occurred right there, and the land still remembered, somehow offering us a mystical piece of the puzzle. When I visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem, I consciously opened myself before I touched the wall itself with both hands. When I did, I felt throughout my entire corpus a river of pain and suffering, deep and strong and also vital, that literally took my breath away. Something deep opened inside me with these and other examples of the power of sacred place. As if a locked passageway revealed itself for a fleeting moment, that produced an inner shift. An invitation, if you will, to be more receptive to such revelations in the future. Not a state I known how to stabilize, just fleeting moments of wonder and deep connection. If you search your own memory banks, perhaps there is an impressionable fragment there, which helps you grok what I am sharing, someway, somehow.   The energy of special place Contains its own sweet, unique pace. Hidden within the turning wheel, Palpable when you open, feel. Flows into your heart directly. Invites less doing, more just be. No big brain thinking is needed. A subtle shift to be heeded.   Rumi comes to the rescue with this opening stanza: Something opens our wings, Something makes boredom and hurt disappear, Someone fills the cup in front of us. We taste only sacredness.  

The creativity you have been holding back was never yours to control. It was always asking to move through you.In this episode of Women Awakening, Cynthia James speaks with Lisa Ferraro, jazz vocalist, author, and spiritual teacher, for a soulful conversation about what happens when a woman stops managing her creativity and lets it move freely through her. They trace Lisa's path from a Pittsburgh backyard where she sang before she could tell if the music was coming from inside her or outside her, through her work with the late Erika Louquette on projects like their Rumi album, to the retreats and coaching she now leads through SoulCall Global.Lisa shares how she taught herself to sing across nearly five octaves because there was no piano in the house to tell her which notes were high or low, and how a Turkish word for threshold, dervish, later helped her understand her own body as a portal between worlds. She talks about presencing a single note before it ever meets another, the same principle she uses in her coaching, and about growing up in a family where a good story was its own kind of inheritance. She also opens up about learning to hold space long before she called it spiritual work, watching her mother orchestrate family gatherings and later performing at high end events for decades, and she recalls a striking memory of singing alongside Erika and realizing neither of them needed to become the other. They were both tuning into something bigger than themselves, above their own heads, letting that bigger thing sing through them at the same time.Watch the full episode and meet the woman who stops asking what the world needs and starts asking what makes her come alive.

Born in Pittsburgh to a father who immigrated from Italy, she taught herself to sing across nearly five octaves before she ever studied music formally, and later charted on the Billboard Jazz chart alongside Houston Person. Her body of work with the late Erika Louquette, including the Rumi project, treats music as a portal for the divine to move through, an idea that carries into how she coaches vocalists and everyday people to presence a single note or moment before trying to shape it. Long before she called any of it spiritual work, she was learning how to build spaces that hold people, from watching her mother orchestrate family gatherings to performing at high end events for decades. Her work invites women to trust that their own creativity, courageously followed, is exactly what the world is asking for.Connect with Lisa Ferraro:Website: https://www.soulcallglobal.org/ Music: https://lisaferraro.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/LisaFerraroSings/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/LisaYFerraro/Cynthia James is a transformational speaker, emotional integration coach, and host of the Women Awakening podcast.

Marc Champagne had the routines, the practices and a book about mental fitness. Then the practices stopped working and he felt ashamed about it.So he asked around. Almost everyone doing this work had hit the same wall. What he calls one foot in the old self and one foot in the new.His answer was to build a table of 14 teachers across 2600 years and ask them how they did it. Lao Tzu. Rumi. Harriet Tubman. A samurai. Nikola Tesla, invited in at the last minute, four days before the manuscript was due.Marc is a mental fitness strategist and host of Behind the Human. He has spent two decades studying how the most effective thinkers keep their minds clear under pressure, which is exactly why the flat spot bothered him.We get into what those teachers said about being stuck, why most leaders are running at 60 percent mental capacity, and the practice he uses when his own nervous system goes off.Join a live book launch event: mandybalak.com/tourOrder Chasing Enough: mandybalak.com/bookJoin The Well Newsletter: mandybalak.com/newsletterTake the Armor Pattern Quiz: mandybalak.com/quizWork with Mandy: mandybalak.com/coachConnect with Mandy on Instagram: instagram.com/mandybalakConnect with Marc Champagne on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mchampagne/Get Marc's Mental Fitness Playbook: https://blueprint.mchampagne.com/

Ep. 242 | What a gift to have Karen Johnson and A. H. Almaas (Hameed Ali) together in conversation to explore their extraordinary journeys of awakening and share the remarkable ways presence found to transform their hearts and minds—all of which culminated in the contemporary spiritual path known as the Diamond Approach. Karen's book, The Jeweled Path (the basis for this Jeweled Path Series), chronicles Karen and Hameed's spiritual adventures from the beginning: what happened in their childhoods, how they first met, the emerging realization that what they were experiencing was shaping into a unique path of awakening that others could follow and benefit from also, through the establishment of the Ridhwan School, home of the Diamond Approach. In this dialogue, Karen tells how incredible spiritual experiences would come to them right in the midst of life—in the grocery store, on the way to work, in a bar… And we hear the resonant story of when Hameed poured a life-changing transmission of presence into her hand. Karen and Hameed's vivid descriptions of what they experienced—“explosions of consciousness,” “streams of awakening,” “becoming a body of light, fullness, and presence, nowness embodied”—are awakening transmissions in their own right. And the point they drive home—that they were not the founders of the Diamond Approach, rather the teaching found them—has the magical effect of opening us to see reality in a different way. Listening to Karen and Hameed discuss their experiences, insights, and the emergence of the Diamond Path is simply an amazing experience on its own. Recorded August 13, 2026.“The interesting thing about presence is, if you talk about it when it's not there, it's just an idea—because presence is only now.”Topics & Time StampsIntroducing Karen Johnson, co-founder of the Diamond Approach, who joins Hameed Ali in The Jeweled Path Series which focuses on her book The Jeweled Path: The Biography of the Diamond Approach to Inner Realization (00:42)How did it come about that Karen & Hameed were able to found a spiritual path together?

(40:56)How Hameed's motorcycle accident brought in the diamond structure (46:08)This is a spiritual path of felt understanding, not merely intellectual understanding (49:24)A teacher isn't just transmitting all the goodies, they're also transmitting all the grit (51:19)Hameed would receive transmissions from other teachings encompassing their whole path (52:32)Hameed & Karen were sure they would find explanations for their experiences in other teachings (54:40)Other twosome spiritual relationships: Aurobindo & the Mother, the founders of A Course in Miracles, Rumi & Shams, and more (56:19)Resources & ReferencesA.

H. Almaas) for the last 50 years. Karen was trained in art and dance and began the journey into the spiritual universe at 14 years old with the guidance of her parents. First, she was introduced to yoga and meditation, and then learned about other forms of spiritual practice. After attending California College of Arts and Crafts, she befriended Hameed Ali, and began a new trajectory where journeying into the secrets of the universe of Being became central to her life.The joy of discovery turned out to be a unique and specific approach to inner experience, which became the Diamond Approach. Karen received an MA in psychology JFK University in 1990. She continues to venture into the endless realms of the miraculous with her spiritual companion. She is the author of The Jeweled Path: The Biography of the Diamond Approach to Inner Self-Realization, and co-author with A. H. Almaas of The Power Of Divine Eros.---Hameed Ali (A. H. Almaas) was born in Kuwait in 1944. At the age of eighteen, he moved to the U.S. to study at the University of California in Berkeley. Hameed was working on his Ph.D. in physics when he reached a turning point in his life and destiny that led him to inquire into the psychological and spiritual aspects of human nature rather than the physical nature of the universe. He left the academic world to pursue an in-depth journey of inner discovery, applying his scientific precision and discipline to personal, experiential research. This included study with different teachers in different modalities, extensive reading, and continuous study of his own consciousness in an effort to understand the essential nature of human experience and reality in general.Hameed's...

A lone Watcher abandons the safety of his hidden post when a human survivor falls into enemy hands. Outnumbered and almost unarmed, he must turn a frozen alien moon into a weapon before the Rumi escape with their prisoner. The Watchers by George H. Smith. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. We are thankful for another 5-star review on Apple Podcasts in the US. This one comes from DanDanknick: “A new experience I enjoyed. Other than the Psalms I've never listened to anyone reading anything on a podcast. A new daily work commute made me try this and the short story The Measure of a Man really caught me. Thank you for providing this!” Thank you, DanDan!! We're glad you found us, and we hope we can make that daily commute a little more enjoyable.

Merch —> https://app.amazecommerce.com/shop/lost-sci-fi Now, on to today's story and an author who is making his debut on the podcast. This is our first story from George H. Smith. We've featured George O. Smith five times on the podcast, but despite the very similar names, the two writers were not related. George Henry Smith was born in Vicksburg, Mississippi, in 1922. I had never heard of him before discovering today's story, which is one of the things I love about digging through old science fiction magazines. There are always authors waiting to be discovered. Smith began publishing science fiction in the early 1950s and went on to write 15 novels and around 40 short stories during a career that stretched from 1953 to 1985. Published in March 1954 in the fourth issue of Universe Science Fiction, a magazine that lasted for only 10 issues from 1953 to 1955, turn to page 118 for The Watchers by George H. Smith… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Don Hartley has stumbled upon an invention that could make him fabulously wealthy—and give anyone who controls it the power to watch anyone, anywhere. Before he cashes in, he must decide whether some discoveries are simply too dangerous to share. The Vidiot by Ib Melchior.

A fugitive believes he has found a world willing to give him everything he has lost, including someone who seems made for him. But the closer paradise comes to matching his deepest desires, the harder it becomes for him to trust what stands before him. Killer by James E. Gunn. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Author James Edwin Gunn makes his debut on the podcast today. Born in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1923, Gunn was a science fiction writer, editor, scholar, and anthologist whose remarkable career spanned decades. Gunn wrote about 20 novels and more than 100 short stories. One of his novels, The Immortals, became the basis for the television series The Immortal, starring Christopher George. If you loved the show as much as I did, you might be interested to know that some episodes of The Immortal can be found on YouTube. In recognition of his extraordinary contributions to science fiction, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America named Gunn its 24th Grand Master in 2007. He was inducted into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 2015. Open the September 1953 issue of Rocket Stories to page 47 and you will find Killer by James E.

Poet, translator, and musician Haleh Liza Gafori describes the revered 13th-century Persian poet Rumi as “a good pal to humanity”. As she puts it, “He's rooting for our liberation.” In this exuberant conversation recorded for the 2025 Greenbelt Festival, she reads some of her translations, and she and Pádraig Ó Tuama illuminate the life of the man known as Rumi — his intense love of all things earthly and divine, the Islamic faith and universalist vision that flow through his work, and his life-changing connection with Shams, a Sufi mystic who catalyzed Rumi's transformation from preacher to poet.We invite you to subscribe to Pádraig's weekly Poetry Unbound Substack, read the Poetry Unbound books and his newest work, Kitchen Hymns, or listen to all our Poetry Unbound episodes. Haleh Liza Ghafori is a New York City-born translator, poet, and musician of Iranian descent. Her most recent book of translations of poetry by the 13th-century mystic Rumi is entitled Water and was released in April of 2025 by New York Review Books. Her first translation of Rumi was the acclaimed Gold, released in 2022, also by New York Review Books.Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode we're partnering with Estée Lauder for the first in a new series: Fragrant Focus. This is where we take our time exploring a single scent - smelling it together and sharing our thoughts. And we have an exciting GIVEAWAY for you to enter! Listen and read on to find out how to enter, hear our reviews of Glimmer, and the beautiful inspiration behind its launch.We have a plethora of exciting new launches to tell you about, from niche names, designer and heritage houses alike. But we begin with an emotional journey to capture the scent of something very special to Suzy…MANE Dad's RoseSuzy got very emotional about this olfactory delivery, as MANE - a fragrance creation house in the U.K. who've made scents for some of the biggest brands out there - managed to capture the scent of a rise her father planted for her when she was a little girl. One of MANE's standout innovations is their ‘Jungle Essence™' technology. In some ways similar to ‘headspace' captures of previously unusable materials in perfumery, these essences are utterly unique and exclusive to MANE. And to see it in action is just MIND BLOWING!Jungle Essence™ is a patented, eco-friendly scent and flavor extraction technology created by the fragrance house MANE. It uses supercritical carbon dioxide (CO₂) to capture the exact, true-to-life aroma of a raw material—whether it is a spice used in men's cologne, a flower, or wood—without using harsh chemical solvents or high heat. You can hear all about the process in a special Patron only extra episode on patreon.com (search for ‘On the Scent podcast' to find us)Penhaligon's The Manoeuvres of The BaronessSuzy and Nicola got very excited about this latest character in the Portraits collection (and it's an orange blossom - one of the notes they regularly swoon over!) Key notesOrange Blossom, Chantilly, Sandalwood‘Collector of secrets and quiet conspiracies, the Baroness has always ruled from the shadows. Orange blossom sparkles with influence next to Chantilly. A whispered order of sandalwood. She doesn't outrun danger; she outsmarts it.'Jil Sander collectionBoth Suzy & Nicola were hugely impressed by the latest Jil Sander fragrances, and these were Suzy's two favourites:Lily‘Caught by surprise by an enchanting perfume on a warm Florentine night.Lilies are white, sensual flowers that primarily release their fragrance after sunset.In Jil Sander Lily the aldehydes bring the flower's metallic, blooming facets to life, while the floral power of the CO₂ extracted Jasmine Sambac, the warmth of Benzoin from Vietnam, and the verticality of the upcycled Cypress structure and balance this luscious, radiant fragrance.This new majestic Floral White Flower fragrance magnifies the ephemeral into a lasting form.'Mahogony:‘The supreme energy of a tropical forest captured into a scent.For the depths of its hues where red turns to black, mahogany is one of the most fascinating trees.Jil Sander Mahogany pays homage to this exceptional expression of nature in a fragrance that fuses upcycled Cedarwood with the profound leathery facets of Cypriol from India, the fizzy, spicy notes of CO₂ extracted Ginger, and the aldehydes.A rich and sophisticated Woody Leathery fragrance that raises mahogany to new heights.'Nicola was so impressed by how realistic the Jil Sander Sesame was (though admits she may not be brave enough to wear it yet), while Suzy thought it was cosy and comforting.French Cowboy Mezcal Chocolate (available at Wild Iris)Suzy continues to be wowed by this exciting new niche house, and cannot wait for cooler weather in which to indulge in this one.‘Mezcal Chocolat is fueled by extraordinary raw materials. It hits like a shot of mezcal: it opens with a sparkling Lime Oil, sharpened by Olibanum from Somalia for smoky depth. To push it further, our perfumer added an ultra-rare Rhum extract (as costly as some of perfumery's finest Iris!).Instead of just a synthetic cacao accord, Mezcal Chocolat goes all in on Cacao Absolute: the most precious form of cocoa, used here in unprecedented amounts. Its creaminess melts into a bed of woods: Virginia Cedarwood, prized for its soft smoky creaminess, and Cypriol Oil from India, adding shadow, depth, and a dark, earthy glow.'Byredo Future MemoriesAnother fascinating take on vanilla, and our hosts both adored the juicy blackcurrant note balance g the sweetness here. ‘Byredo captures the tension between now and next: an invitation to live fully, to choose deliberately, to imprint the present with intention. Held like a quiet mantra at the back of the mind, one question remains: What do you choose today, to remember tomorrow?A scent crafted like a memory in motion. The fragrance opens with the vivid green freshness of galbanum, illuminated by the juicy brightness of blackcurrant and a veil of aldehydes that diffuse light through the composition. At its heart, powdery iris unfolds alongside warm, resinous labdanum, creating a textured impression that settles gently onto the skin. In the base, vanilla emerges in full, enriched by Ambrofix and an intimate veil of musks lingering on the skin as a subtle trace of what remains.Top Notes: Galbanum essence, blackcurrant accord, and fresh aldehydes for a bright, sparkling, and green start.Heart Notes: Iris butter, labdanum resinoid, orange blossom, and white vanilla accord providing powdery floral warmth.Base Notes: Madagascar vanilla CO2, vanilla liqueur accord, Ambrofix, and sensual musks.'Nishane Thorns Become RosesWhen a rose is velvety and gorgeous but still displays its sharpness… This is by Julien Rasquinet, and inspired by the Rumi quote "With love, thorns become roses"‘Thorns Become Roses is a contemporary, contrast-driven rose that embodies transformation, evolving from a vivid, luminous opening into an intense floral heart, and settling into a deep, enveloping woody amber trail. Crafted as an extrait de parfum, it redefines the rose through a balance of tension and softness, offering a structured yet sensual and evolving olfactive experience.Lychee and raspberry, luminous and vibrant, meet the metallic sharpness of saffron and cardamom, evoking the harsh brilliance of noon light on Petra's cliffs.At its heart, Turkish rose unfolds with dense, velvety depth, held in contrast by the green-leathery facets of violet leaf and the powdery softness of mimosa. A rose both thorned and tender, asserting its beauty through contrast.The base settles into a mineral, enduring trail of amberwood and patchouli, softened by creamy sandalwood. Here, tension gives way to a quiet radiance, neither sweet nor austere, but balanced, tactile, and lasting.Top Notes: lychee, raspberry, saffronHeart Notes: rose, mimosa, blackcurrantBase Notes: patchouli, amberwood, aetoxylon'FRAGRANT FOCUS:AD: Estée Lauder GlimmerExtraordinarily, this is the first new main line fragrance for 12 years, and the first ever gourmand style fragrance for the house! But Suzy and Nicola think that unmistakable Lauder DNA shines through. Indeed, this a scent that celebrates shining - finding your own light and the things that lift you every single day.Dominique Ropion, Anne Flipo and Jean-Marc Chaillan are the incredible perfumers.Top Notes: raspberry, orange blossom, milk mousse and mandarinHeart Notes: Cashmeran, macarons, vanilla and roseBase Notes: amber, tonka bean, sandalwood, patchouli and cedarwood.Bright, sparkling and mouthwatering. Fruity-rosy raspberry, a fresh lift of mandarin, and a soft orange flower glow.Warmer and more enveloping. Macaron Rose Accord comes forward with its gourmand impression, wrapped in the radiant depth of Amber Embrace Accord and Shimmering Patchouli, with a smooth, skin-warmed softness.The fragrance settles into a lingering, addictive trail, a glowing blend of Amber, Patchouli, Woods and Tonka Bean notes. Still warmed by a whisper of sweetness that stays close and feels unforgettable.Estée Lauder says:This is the fragrance for life's most extraordinary moments. It's a scent not just to be worn, but to be felt, remembered, and shared.

What You Seek Is With You: How to Tell the Difference Between Fear-Based Desire and Soul DesireWhat if the fulfillment you're seeking isn't something the universe needs to bring you, but something your heart is asking you to recognize as already within you?Episode DescriptionIf you find yourself reaching outside yourself for fulfillment, answers, wisdom, satisfaction, or the thing you believe will finally complete the picture, this heart chakra journey offers a different way to understand desire. Rather than treating desire as a request for something external to arrive, Christel explores the idea that "what you seek is with you."The journey distinguishes between the surface form of a desire and its deeper essence. Wealth, love, and success may be what appears on the surface, while underneath them may be soul expansion, connection, and the expression of your soul potential. Through the imagery of the "cave of the heart," you'll explore how desires can be connected to fear, wounding, unhealthy habits, and limiting belief codes, while other desires can reveal deeper alignment with your soul essence.The episode also explores why forgetting doesn't mean you've done something wrong. Remembering and forgetting, struggle and surrender, are part of the human experience. The breath and heartbeat become anchors for returning to the heart center and remembering that what you're seeking is within you.What You'll LearnThe distinction between the familiar translation "what you are seeking is seeking you" and the Rumi interpretation explored in the episode: "what you seek is with you."Why the episode describes manifestation as recognizing and embodying what is already present in potential rather than simply attracting something external.How to distinguish the surface form of a desire from its deeper essence.How fear, patterns of wounding, unhealthy habits, and belief codes can become intertwined with desire.Why forgetting your deeper connection isn't necessarily evidence that you've done something wrong or are "out of alignment."How the heart, breath, and heartbeat can become anchors for returning to your center while navigating the external world.Resources Mentioned:CHAKRA RECODE INVITATION:If you've ever felt like your sensitivity is too much because you feel everything and you don't know what to do with it, this is for you.

And when his 15-year-old walks in and looks at him like he's annoying, he hugs her anyway and tells her the truth: I don't understand you right now, and you probably don't understand me, but I love you.   IN THIS EPISODE: - Rumi's bow and arrow: what a dad is actually for - "Keep exposing them" — why he keeps widening their world - Loving his wife hard, where the kids can see it - The vision he's working backward from, right down to the grandkids - What he says to a teenager who finds him annoying   WANT THE BOOKS?

Fresh off the first Cascadia Men's Conference, I'm pleased to share my first long-form podcast episode in some months. Right now, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is storming around the world, a $1.3 billion phenomenon that has returned one of humanity's oldest stories to the center of our cultural conversation.My guest today is a man who has been steeping in this epic for years. Phil Cousineau is the author of newly published ‘The Wisdom of the Odyssey: Twenty-four Life Lessons from Homer's Epic' and more than forty other books, including the bestselling The Art of Pilgrimage and The Hero's Journey: Joseph Campbell on His Life and Work. He is a writer, teacher, and storyteller who has consulted on myth and story for Warner Brothers, Pixar, and Lucasfilm, led mythology travel programs to Greece for more than three decades, and hosted the PBS television series Global Spirit.In our conversation, Phil invites us to look at why The Odyssey has risen once again. He suggests the epic poem is Western culture's first articulated case of PTSD and the consequence of war and conquest. We speak of the women who guide Odysseus back to himself, the terror of crossing your own threshold after twenty years away, and what it means when love rather than fame becomes the gravity that pulls a man home.Phil reminds us that the Odyssey is everybody's story, and the courage required to bend down and kiss the earth in gratitude for the chance to begin again.Here in full is the Rumi poem I reference (translated by Haleh Liza Gafori)LOVE, YOUR waters, your melodieswhirl me and whirl me.I'm the wheel in a mill.Whirl me forever.When my heart is troubled,when my heart has fled,keep me close.No branch, no leaf, no piece of straw drawn to amberwill move without a breeze.Unless desire stirs it, nothing in this world will dance.Every element, every particle of every elementis a whirling lover, drunk on union.The generous host lays out a feast.Animals graze the sweet grass.Didn't the ants tell secrets to Solomon?Didn't the mountains singwhen David sang his songs of praise?The sky is your lover.Lay your head on its peaceful chest.The sun is your lover. Drink its light.Love moves through every mountain and field.How else would green grow from earth's dark body?LINKS * Phil Cousineau - Official Website* The Wisdom of the Odyessy - BookHeads up, if you are a man seeking to explore the mythopoetic path, you are invited to check out The Archetypal Compass. This mini-guide is designed to help you navigate the internal archetypes of the soul, providing a map for those ready to move beyond personal inquiry and toward a more conscious stewardship of their lives and the world.Also, the next cohort of The Deep Masculine, my 3 month online journey for men begins Sept 20th.

A special end-of-summer Redux edition of Roqe featuring one of our most memorable conversations with a true legend of Iranian music. Jian revisits his 2022 interview with Soleyman "Soley" Vaseghi - the Iranian singer, composer and songwriter whose remarkable life has taken him from pop stardom in pre-revolutionary Iran to exile, immigration, and a musical reinvention rooted in Persian poetry, spirituality and Sufi traditions. Soley reflects on the excitement of Iran's thriving pop music scene in the 1970s, the devastating impact of the 1979 Islamic Revolution on his life and career, leaving Iran, becoming an immigrant in Canada, and the extraordinary transition from pop star to driving a taxi for 10-12 hours a day in Toronto. He also discusses his later musical evolution and his deep connection to Rumi, Hafez, spirituality and Sufi-inspired music. Now 80 years old, Soley remains one of the precious treasures of the Iranian community.

“Send Coach John a message”There are times when I find a powerful (and simple) reminder for me that I know will probably help others too.  This gem was shared by Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and his very short and simple thought was:  “Clarity comes from action!!”  The actual post was this:  “Rumi said ‘As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.'  Clarity doesn't come before action.  It comes from action.” My intro to my re-post was this:  “There have been times I have spent / invested too much time thinking & planning (which helps when there is action after)… amazing and wonderful how the learning & growing never stops!”  There needs to be some planning and thoughts all the time. But without taking action, they won't move on from just sitting there. Action cures fear and it also helps us to see where the next step of our journey should go.  I know I need to keep focusing on taking action for sure.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **
