Blog 1381 (11.27.2024)***Remember: a contemplation question should invite quiet self-examination rather than intellectual analysis.***What is the true nature of Light, and how does spiritual illumination transform both the individual and the world? The journey of creation from density toward spiritual refinement, suggesting that as consciousness evolves, it naturally radiates greater wisdom, purity, and inner luminosity.The call to become unwavering guardians of freedom by invoking the Sacred Fire, maintaining inner harmony, and refusing to participate in fear, hatred, or division.These teachings remind us that lasting transformation begins within. As we align with our "Beloved Mighty I AM Presence", cultivate purity of heart, and embody Divine Love, we become living instruments through which Light, Freedom, Protection, and Peace can bless our families, our communities, our nations, and ultimately the whole world.Cosmic Consciousness, by Richard Maurice Bucke, 1901The Goal of Life - Hiram Butler, 1908The "I AM" DiscoursesThe Mark Of God: Understanding Your “I AM Presence” © 2026.

Blog 1378 (11.3.2024)Is creation complete, or is it still unfolding through each of us? In this episode, we reflect on two profound teachings that invite us to see evolution not only as the progression of civilizations, but as the continual awakening of the soul. As humanity gathers the wisdom of the ages, we are reminded that lasting transformation begins within.The second discourse turns our attention inward, encouraging us to meet life's challenges with vigilance, spiritual discipline, and unwavering devotion to the Divine Presence. Rather than becoming entangled in fear or outer appearances, we are invited to cultivate purity of heart, release limiting patterns, and allow the Sacred Fire of Divine Love to transform our thoughts, feelings, and actions.Genesis chapters 1 and 2, verses 1 thru 13, KJVThe Goal of Life, Hiram Butler, 1908 - Chapter V (Evolution)The "I AM" Discourses

After six long years of war, the Continental Army was exhausted, and Congress had run out of money. George Washington feared that without a decisive victory, the cause of independence would be lost.But there was fresh cause for hope in the summer of 1781, as a massive French fleet sailed for the Chesapeake Bay. French and American commanders devised a plan to trap the British Army on a peninsula in Yorktown, Virginia.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Three years ago, Kim Newing stepped away from a successful spiritual service as the portal of perimenopause opened in her life. Brain fog, sleeplessness, night sweats and loss of confidence - a list so many in perimenopause understand too well- invited a radical choice to step away from the path of service. But what was awakened by learning to sit in the fire of transformation was a deeper, more authentic sense of Self. As Kim returns to spiritual teaching for the first time in three years, she shares the profound gifts this time has brought to her work.In this episode, we discuss:This phase in a woman's life is an opportunity for a “return to self”—stripping away false identities and roles to reconnect with inner divinity and authentic desire.Teaching women to trust that their intuition is already innate within them - in truth, there is nothing to learn.Nearly every core problem women have can be traced to a damaged relationship with self.Perimenopause as a powerful but misunderstood death and rebirth cycle within one lifetime.Meet KimKim Newing is a Spiritual Mentor, Intuitive Guide, Embodiment Trainer and affiliate teacher for the Institute of Intuitive Intelligence. She is also a mother, lifelong student, lover of dance, gentle rule breaker, crystal enthusiast and a professional believer in the wisdom, intuition and magic of women.For more than 20 years, Kim has helped women rebuild self-trust by reconnecting with their intuition and regulating their nervous systems. Her work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, spirituality and embodied psychology, supporting women to move beyond anxious overthinking, emotional overwhelm and self-doubt so they can make clear, aligned decisions and create lives they deeply love.A Senior Insight Timer teacher with more than 26,000 students and over 1.5 million meditation downloads, Kim is known for translating profound spiritual teachings into practical tools women can immediately apply in everyday life. Drawing from meditation, breathwork, A Course in Miracles and somatic practices, she teaches that intuition isn't something we find—it's something we remember when the noise of fear begins to settle.Known for her calm presence, grounded wisdom and refreshingly authentic style, Kim creates spaces where women strengthen their spiritual self-esteem, reconnect with their inner knowing and discover they already carry the wisdom they've been searching for.Connect with Kimhttps://www.instagram.com/mamagoddess_/ Resourceshttps://www.mamagoddess.com.au/soul-expansion-traininghttps://www.instituteforintuitiveintelligence.com/third-level

George Washington has become one of the most misunderstood figures in American history. Was America's first president merely a deist? Did he keep religion at arm's length? Or has modern scholarship sanitized the faith of the man who led the American Revolution? On this episode of Give Me Liberty, Ryan Helfenbein is joined by Dr. Peter Lillback—church historian, founder of the Providence Forum, and author of George Washington's Sacred Fire—to examine Washington's own writings and uncover what he actually believed about God, providence, Jesus Christ, and the Bible. They discuss:The myth that George Washington was a deistWashington's repeated references to divine providenceWhy liberty only exists under God's lawThe Christian worldview that shaped America's foundingHow modern culture has rewritten the Founding FathersWhy recovering America's true history matters todayIf you've ever wondered whether America's founding was rooted in Christianity or secular Enlightenment thought, this conversation is a must-watch. Subscribe for more conversations defending life, liberty, and truth from the Standing for Freedom Center at Liberty University.

George Washington is a man of a mythological stature. A stalwart man of war, 6'2” with animal teeth and a seemingly endless supply of stories where he cheated death, Washington's role is so much more than just a founding father or first president. From the $1 bill to the capital to the busiest motor vehicle bridge in the world, Washington's name and image are everywhere in the USA.Washington is famously remembered as “First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen,” and, this sentiment still largely rings true. And 250 years after the nation's founding, Washington is still remembered as a great leader and a great man.But was he a good man? Did he understand morality? Did he have a relationship with divine goodness or submit to a higher power?Washington's embrace of slavery as a means to growing his wealth, his collaboration with deists and just the general historical distance we have from when he lived, have all caused historians to call into question Washington's relationship with Christianity.As American Independence Day approaches, on this week's episode, culture critic Joseph Holmes investigates the faith of our foremost founding father in two separate conversations. In the first part of the episode, he interviews Peter Lillback about his national bestselling book, “George Washington's Sacred Fire,” in which Lillback makes a strong argument for the case that Washington was in fact a committed Christian. In the second part of the episode, Joseph speaks with Diederik Hoogstraten, screenwriter of “Young Washington,” which comes out this Friday.Religion Unplugged's reporting and analysis is brought to you by real people — like me!

Something shifts in the middle of life that you were not warned about. The fervor you once had—the fire, the sense that God was close, and the faith was vivid—has gone flat. And the question underneath your silence, the one you are ashamed to admit, is not "What happened to my faith?" It is "What is wrong with me?" Nothing is wrong with you. But something is forming inside you, whether you know it or not. Whether it becomes maturity or bitterness depends on decisions you are probably not aware you are making right now. Father Ronald Rolheiser—Missionary Oblate priest, theologian, and author of Insane for the Light and Sacred Fire—returns for a third conversation that opens the map most of us are missing. He walks through the three phases of a maturing Christian life, explains why wilderness seasons are not a malfunction but a form of purification, and addresses why the grief you keep deferring is the precise bridge to everything the second half of life is supposed to be. Underneath all of it is the one question midlife forces everyone to answer: whether you are still operating out of the pleasure principle, asking what is in it for you, or whether you have begun the long work of moving from achievement to fruitfulness. If you are in the flat middle stretch of life, this conversation will name exactly where you are. What comes after the naming is up to you. The Lord is not asking you to feel more. He is asking you to be honest, to grieve faithfully, and to hold with both hands whatever commitments He has already placed in yours. Guest Bio Father Ronald Rolheiser is a Missionary Oblate priest, theologian, and the author of Insane for the Light and Sacred Fire—among nearly twenty books exploring what it means to mature in a life with God.

250 years of freedom and independence is something every one of us should be thankful for. Too often we take for granted the freedoms and liberties we enjoy and forget there was a price that many paid. There were 56 signers to the Declaration of Independence that pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. Sadly today, there are those who desire the downfall of our nation, trying to destroy celebrations and recognition of this milestone. Further, there is erosion that has taken place trying to take away the values and freedoms we hold dear. We must be ever vigilant or this cherished treasure, America, will vanish before our very eyes. Not only will we discuss these matters today, but we also take a look at the author of the original draft of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson. Joining us is Dr. Jerry Newcombe, Executive Director of the Providence Forum, a division of Coral Ridge Ministries. He is also a columnist and podcast host for Providence Forum and has produced a series of documentaries on America's Judeo-Christian roots. He is the author or co-author of 33 books including George Washington's Sacred Fire, The Book that Made America: How the Bible Formed Our Nation, American Amnesia: Is America Paying the Price for Forgetting God, the Source of our Liberty, and Doubting Thomas? The Life and Legacy of Thomas Jefferson. Jerry is also senior pastor at New Presbyterian Church in Wilton Manors, FL. More information: ProvidenceForum.org

In the postpartum window, healing is often centered around rest and support—but one of the most essential foundations is often overlooked: digestion.In this episode, we sit with Ayurvedic practitioner and postpartum doula Ashlee Sakaishi Wilkin to explore the role of agni—the digestive fire—and why it is central to postpartum recovery.After birth, the body enters a delicate state. Digestion weakens, appetite fluctuates, and the system becomes more vulnerable to imbalance. Through an Ayurvedic lens, this is a time to gently rebuild—using warmth, simplicity, and intentional nourishment.Ashlee shares how tending digestion can support not only physical healing, but also emotional and mental integration during this transformative time. This conversation offers both practical guidance and a deeper understanding of postpartum care as a long-term investment in a mother's health and wellbeing.-In this episode, we explore:The physiological and energetic shifts after birthWhy digestion becomes compromised postpartumThe Ayurvedic concept of agni (digestive fire)Common digestive challenges in the fourth trimesterThe connection between gut health and emotional wellbeingHow to nourish the body with simple, warm, supportive foodsThe importance of meeting families where they are-About the GuestAshlee Sakaishi Wilkin is an Ayurvedic Practitioner, postpartum and birth doula, and educator at the Center for Sacred Window Studies.

Hard News on Friday with Tara Green and Rama Arjuna and guests Astrological New Year and Quantum Consciousness Shift This broadcast of Hard News on Friday marks the 2026 Spring Equinox and the Astrological New Year, a pivotal moment of "quantum light speed" transition. The episode weaves together indigenous fire ceremonies, Mayan calendar insights, and a deep astrological analysis of the "Cosmic Jackpot" awaiting specific zodiac signs. It serves as both a spiritual guide and a call to action for the "Age of Aquarius." The Sacred Fire and Global New Year Traditions The session opens with a virtual sacred fire ceremony, honoring the Spring Equinox which serves as the New Year for Persian, Indian, and Chinese cultures. Participants are invited to offer sage, cedar, or tobacco to a virtual flame, symbolically jumping over the fire to release the burdens of the previous year while setting intentions for the new cycle. This ritual is grounded in the invocation of the "Seven Houses"—East, North, West, South, Above, Below, and the Galactic Center—to align wisdom with right action and planetary harmony. Mayan Tzolkin Forecast and Portal Days The week ahead is governed by the Tz'annine (Red Planetary Dragon), emphasizing birth, being, and nurturing. The guidance suggests a shift from self-dependence to a trust in the universal water (the Moon). Notably, the broadcast highlights the commencement of a 10-day series of "Portal Days" starting Wednesday with Kime (White World Bridger). These days are described as high-dimensionality periods where the veil between the past and future thins, requiring individuals to let go of ego-driven control and the belief that life must be a struggle. Geopolitical Awareness and the Star Gate Rama provides a sharp perspective on current global tensions, specifically addressing the "obfuscation" surrounding Iran, the United States, and Israel. He emphasizes the need for accountability regarding international war crimes and highlights the spiritual significance of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, describing it as a sentient "Star Gate" on the planet. He asserts that the "Galactics" and the gate itself are aware of any harm directed toward these sacred sites, which are vital to the planet's energetic grid. The Quickening of Consciousness The final segment focuses on a guided meditation regarding the "quickening" of human consciousness. This evolution is characterized by a rising vibration where unconscious patterns can no longer remain hidden. The message encourages listeners to view heightened sensitivity not as a weakness, but as a refinement of perception. The awakening is described as a collective shift where individual presence contributes to the "harmony of the spheres" and the realization that we are unique expressions of a vast, living intelligence. The 2026 Spring Equinox represents a definitive "wipe the slate clean" moment for the collective. By blending ancient Mayan wisdom with current astrological transits, the broadcast emphasizes that the "demolition phase" of the past few weeks has concluded, making way for a period of bold construction and personal power. As the Age of Aquarius dawns, the "people have the power" to transmute energy and manifest a new reality through conscious awareness.

Genesis 1:26 – 2:25. Sex was created by God to be powerful, spiritual, and joyful within the covenant of marriage. Understanding its true design frees us from both cultural permissiveness and religious shame, pointing us to the deeper picture of God's love for his people.

In this episode, we are joined by Don David Wiley, a renowned teacher and elder who advocates in alignment with two living traditions, the Huichol (Wixarika) and Nahua of Mexico. He shares his profound insights on humanity's original relationship with the living forces of Nature, sacred fire, and weather beings. Through his teachings, we explore the importance of restoring the concept of sacred reciprocity, the role of ceremony, and the need for healing the planet by honoring our connection with the powerful forces of Nature. Join us as we navigate the complexities of tradition, modernity, and the wisdom of our ancestors in a quest to live harmoniously with the world around us.

In 1996, Don David Wiley's life was profoundly altered when who would later come to be recognized as the Spirit of Fire, often called Grandfather Fire, appeared before him as an apparition in the garden of a meditation retreat center near Cuernavaca, Mexico. Grandfather sent David to study with two Indigenous elders, Don Lupe Ríos Gonzales of the Wixárika (Huichol) tradition of Mexico's Sierra Madres and Don Lucio Campos Elizalde of the Nahua tradition of the central highlands in formal medicine and ceremonial apprenticeships in these two ancestrally related Indigenous paths. As a result, David received an initiation as a mara'akame – or a shamanic healer, counselor, and ceremonial leader in the Huichol tradition. He was also initiated as a quiapaquiz (caller of the sky-waters, in Nahuatl) or granicero – or weather worker in Spanish, ceremonial leader, and healer from the Nahua path.

He is well-known in traditional circles as one who lends his body as a human vessel to be the “god-speaker man” for Grandfather Fire. He is a healer, ceremonialist, and ritual leader in two ancestrally related Indigenous traditions from Mexico—the Wixárika mara'akame tradition and the Nahua path of weather working and healing. Devoted to the guidance of Spirit, he offers support and teachings to help people reconnect with heart, life, nature, and Divine through ceremony, awareness, and meaningful relationships. Over the years, Grandfather Fire inspired Don David and the community growing around Grandfather's wisdom to spread traditional lifeways worldwide through nonprofits – Sacred Fire [https://sacredfire.org/], which trains Sacred Firekeepers and hosts events, Grupo Tatewarí - Wixárika (Huichol) Tradition.

Fr. Ronald Rolheiser joins me to talk about his new book Insane for the Light, the final part of his spiritual trilogy that began with The Holy Longing and Sacred Fire. Together, we explore what it means to live faithfully through every stage of life from getting our lives together, to giving them away, to finally giving our deaths away. Fr. Rolheiser shares profound insights on the difference between resignation and surrender, how helplessness can become holiness, and why love is sustained not by emotion but by fidelity and presence. We talk about aging as a spiritual practice, the call to move from bitterness to gratitude, and the deep grace found in letting go. This is a conversation about surrendering in love, learning to live with open hands, and allowing the light of God to shine through us, even as everything else fades.Ronald Rolheiser, O.M.I., is President-Emeritus of the Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio Texas, where he remains a full-time faculty member and Professor of Spirituality.

He is the author or co-author of 33 books including The Book that Made America: How the Bible Formed Our Nation, George Washington's Sacred Fire and American Amnesia: Is America Paying the Price for Forgetting God, the Source of Our Liberty?The evangelist Charles Finney stated, "Politics are a part of a religion in such a country as this, and Christians must do their duty to their country as a part of their duty to God. God will bless or curse this nation according to the course Christians take in politics." Believers in Christ do have a special role: a stewardship before God of the vote we cast.The Scriptures tell us in Proverbs 29:2, "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." Elections really do have consequences.Listen to find out why it is critical that we vote. Then go out and vote. Then PRAY EARNESTLY for America

This episode is a very special one. A pure and raw sharing by the fire behind ‘All that we are', Amisha Tala Oak. A sacred ritual, a ceremony where she lets her heart speak and where words come from a very deep place inside of her. This episode called ‘Tending to the hearth in a world ablaze // the language of ritual, ceremony and intuition' takes us on a journey. It's a remembrance to listen to our heart and inner fire while not losing courage and hope amidst the chaos. "We ​must ​create ​beauty ​in ​the ​mess."
