Democrats are stumbling — badly. While the Trump administration redefines the limits of executive overreach, the Democratic party remains at odds over how to — even whether to — respond. But Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut has a plan for beating Republicans in 2026, and it involves taking a cue from President Trump.

What if your ego isn't the enemy—but a necessary part of your spiritual journey?In this episode, I'm diving deep into one of the most misunderstood parts of the human experience: the ego. So often in the spiritual world, we hear that we need to “kill the ego” or “rise above it,” but the truth is far more nuanced—and powerful.We'll unpack the true nature of the ego, exploring both its shadow aspects—like control, fear, and pride—and its light—the parts that drive our creativity, connection, and growth. I'll share why the ego isn't something to be eliminated, but integrated. When we demonize it, we miss the opportunity to actually understand what it's trying to show us about ourselves.We'll also talk about the very real consequences of living out of alignment with our true nature, the spiritual disconnection that so many feel, and how reconnecting with both the divine and your full humanity brings healing, clarity, and peace.This is an honest, heart-opening conversation that invites you into a more balanced, empowered relationship with yourself—ego and all.Tune in and let's walk this path to wholeness, together.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Ego03:41 Understanding the Ego's Role in Spirituality09:10 The Misconceptions of the Ego12:39 Transcending the Ego vs. Being a Slave to It17:09 The Shadow Side of the Ego25:37 The Light Side of the Ego38:43 The Ego and the Absence of Light44:03 Understanding True Human Nature50:13 Navigating the Shadow and Light of the Ego59:19 The Consequences of Losing Our Soul01:06:19 The Spiritual Crisis and Identityego, spirituality, human experience, misconceptions, shadow side, light side, transcendence, identity, spiritual warfare, self-awareness, ego, light, human nature, spirituality, divine, enlightenment, shadow, soul, identity, consciousnessSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/ignite-the-spark-within.

Has the cure for addiction, mental health afflictions, and spiritual disconnection been right in front of us? These proponents of Ibogaine including NFL star Robert Gallery and the inspiring activist Bryan Hubbard would say yes – this powerful psychedelic from Africa is a miracle. I've experienced this medicine first hand, sharing my story on the Joe Rogan Experience 15 years ago. But it's not just the medicine that facilitates the cure, it is the profound and life altering connection to the love of God that may be responsible for so much of the unbelievable results. There has been incredible progress made in the Texas legislature that is paving the way for potential medical legalization to treat our citizens most in need, namely first responders and veterans. This is one of the most inspiring and powerful podcasts I have ever recorded, and it very well may change your life forever. Texas Ibogaine Initiative | https://www.reid.foundation/texas-ibogaine-initiativeAthletes For Care | https://athletesforcare.org/Athletes For Care Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/athletes4care/Ambio | https://ambio.life/The Mission Within | https://missionwithin.org/Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions | https://vetsolutions.org/Beond: https://beondibogaine.com/Metal Mark Golden Collectable Art |  https://mtlmrk.com/Korrect Energy | https://korrectlife.com/Check out Love To The Seventh Power: ⁠https://chakaruna.com/collections/books⁠SAYU Organic essential Oils | https://sayu.earth/| Aubrey Marcus |Website | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/2GesYqi ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/2BlfCEO ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/2F4nBZk ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X |  ⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/2BlGBAdAd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Aubrey Marcus newsletter:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.aubreymarcus.com/pages/email⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To partner with the Aubrey Marcus Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Aubrey Marcus podcast:iTunes | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://apple.co/2lMZRCn ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://spoti.fi/2EaELZO ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stitcher | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/2G8ccJt ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IHeartRadio | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ihr.fm/3CiV4x3 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

There are two guests on this week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show. Dr. Justin Frank is a former professor of psychiatry at George Washington University. He is the author of several books including Trump on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President. Dr. Frank returns to the podcast and explains the importance of listening to and trusting our feelings and emotions in this time of fear, exhaustion, and collective trauma. Dr. Frank also interprets some of the common dreams that people experience during times of great stress and anxiety. He also shares his expert advice about how to be a good listener who gives useful advice to those who reach out to us for help. Rev. Adam Russell Taylor is president of Sojourners and author of A More Perfect Union: A New Vision for Building the Beloved Community. He explains how the Age of Trump is an extreme moral, political, and spiritual crisis. Rev. Taylor warns that the Christian right-wing is now implementing a decades-long plan to remake the country into a Christofascist theocracy and that Trump's rise to power has made that possible. Rev. Taylor also shares the importance of spiritual discipline and how it can empower collective action in what will be a long struggle to renew and defend American freedom and social democracy in this time of darkness. Chauncey DeVega explains  the German concept of Gleichschaltung (“synchronization”) and how it applies to Trumpism and the larger American neofascist revolutionary project to remake all aspects of the country's politics, culture and life. Chauncey struggles with his love of professional wrestling and great excitement about how John Cena has finally, after 25 years, turned “heel” versus the reality that the WWE has many connections with the Trump administration and this time of horribleness.   And Chauncey DeVega also shares some stories about the everyday heroes he recently encountered in his neighborhood and travels.

What if climate change isn't just an environmental or economic issue, but a spiritual one? In this eye-opening conversation, Rainn Wilson and environmentalist Paul Hawken dive into the philosophy of regeneration—a revolutionary approach to healing the planet while revitalizing our sense of meaning and purpose. Paul explains why fear-based activism is failing, how indigenous wisdom offers a roadmap for sustainability, and why reconnecting to nature is the key to saving ourselves. They also discuss the hidden intelligence of plants, the role of community in social transformation, and what a 23-year-old in Tulsa can actually do to make a difference. Paul Hawken is a renowned environmentalist, entrepreneur, and author. His work focuses on practical, systemic solutions to climate change that integrate ecological, social, and economic renewal.

Much of the modern world has become uncoupled from the transcendent in a cultural experiment Nietzsche called the death of God. But might this spiritual crisis prove to be a time of rebirth? In this episode of the Sheldrake-Vernon Dialogues, recorded live at an event organised by the Temenos Academy, Rupert Sheldrake and Mark Vernon discuss the evolution of wisdom traditions from west and east alongside the great modern enterprise called science and its continuing development. As the materialist, progressive ideology that has dominated the sciences for two centuries wanes, and as scientific studies show that religious and spiritual practices have major benefits for physical and mental health, what insights might we cultivate, as we live in and through these times?

I am thrilled to share my conversation with the renowned sociologist Hartmut Rosa. It was a unique and thought-provoking dialogue delving into the intricacies of modernity, control, and resonance. Rosa touches on various elements, from the role of resonance in a fulfilling life to the necessity of a common good in society, providing an insightful exploration into contemporary socio-political and spiritual issues.  This conversation took place at Princeton Theological Seminary as part of The Church, The Pastor, And Resonance In An Accelerated Age event. The team at The Center for Barth Studies did a fantastic job hosting the event, I am grateful for all the energy they put into it. Hartmut Rosa is professor of sociology at the Institute of Sociology at the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena and director of the Max Weber Center for Advanced Cultural and Social Studies at the University of Erfurt, Germany. He has worked with the New School for Social Research in New York and the universities of Augsburg, Duisburg-Essen and Manheim, among others. Often considered a leading representative of the new critical theory, his research interests include the sociology of time and identity formation. Notable among his publications are Social Acceleration, The Uncontrollability of the World , Resonance: A Sociology of Our Relationship to the World, and his newest book, Democracy Needs Religion. If you want to get an introduction to Rosa's main concepts and how they inspired the gathering at Princeton, you can listen to Andrew Root talk to me here. If you are interested in a deep dive into the work of Hartmut Rosa and Charles Taylor, then check out my class with Dr. Root - Religion & the Spiritual Crisis. _____________________ Join my Substack - Process This!

A bonus segment for Nonviolence Radio, the Nonviolent Moment is a 30- minute exploration of nonviolence out of KPCA Petaluma's Free Range Studio.Hosted by Michael Nagler Nonviolence, to be practiced with effect, requires training and preparation and strategy. It requires astuteness in understanding your situation. And underneath, giving life to all of that, an understanding that every one of us, as he says, has an instinct towards the feeling that what happens to our fellow human beings in some way also happens to us.

We're joined by Dike Drummond, family physician and founder of TheHappyMD.com. Our discussion delves into the spiritual crisis facing employed physicians, where the idealism that once inspired them to pursue medicine clashes with the harsh realities of modern medical practice. Dike highlights the profound choice physicians make to be "light workers," serving humanity in the battle against illness and suffering. However, many find themselves trapped in systems prioritizing profit over patient care, leading to burnout and a loss of purpose. Dike Drummond is a Mayo-trained family practice physician, burnout survivor, executive coach, consultant, and founder of TheHappyMD.com. He discusses the KevinMD article, "The spiritual crisis of the employed physician." Our presenting sponsor is Nuance, a Microsoft company.

In this episode of ”Voices with Vervaeke,” John Vervaeke continues his ongoing exploration of Internal Family Systems (IFS) theory with psychotherapist, clinician, and researcher Kasra Mirzaie. Kasra shares his insights into the cognitive, existential, and spiritual aspects of IFS, highlighting its potential to help individuals make sense of their inner conflicts, regulate emotions, and resolve developmental psychopathology. With a focus on dialectic, mythos, and serious play, Kasra explains how IFS can help individuals forge and come into contact with different aspects of their being and identity, promoting healing and transformation. Throughout the conversation, John and Kasra explore the philosophical and spiritual dimensions of IFS and how it can be integrated with other therapeutic approaches to promote participatory knowing, self-transcendence, and a deeper understanding of the self. Delving into poignant examples and transformative insights, the conversation illuminates the profound impact of embracing our multiplicity through IFS, offering listeners a pathway to understanding and healing that transcends traditional therapeutic boundaries. Guest Bio and Links: Kasra Mirzaie is a psychotherapist, researcher, and educator with a focus on emotion regulation and developmental psychopathology.

Naomi Wolf's outspokenness landed her jobs within the Clinton & Gore campaigns. But she's also drawn criticism from media elites for her regular challenges to narratives of feminism, sexuality, medicine, politics, and national security. Now, in her new book, Facing the Beast: Courage, Faith, and Resistance in a New Dark Age, Wolf tackles world leaders' failed responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and how their own mismanagement led to curtailed rights, malpractice, and social shaming from moralists (mostly on the left). She joins this episode to discuss the looming challenges we are about to face in America after ceding unprecedented control of our lives to government, media, and big tech & pharmaceutical companies. ***** TOP STORIES Red vs. Blue BS: Democrats, Take Your COMMIE RED Back West Coast, Messed Coast™ — Another Californian Is Mugged and It Was All Caught on Video Maybe This Idiocy Will Finally Break Trump Derangement Syndrome Fever Forever West Coast, Messed Coast™ a Stunning Thing Happened After Hamas Supporters Took Over UW Indictment: Hunter Biden Spent Money on 'Everything but His Taxes' 'He's Back' Trends on X as 'Most Censored Man' Alex Jones Is Allowed to Speak on Platform Again 'Pathological Liar' or 'Brave' Victim?

This episode was recorded on August 10th, 2023. In this episode, I interview two guests who share their experiences and concerns regarding the Toronto District School Board. One of the guests, who had a unique journey, opens up about being convinced to have a gender transition at the age of 11 years old and later de-transitioning. The guests discuss the changes they observed in the school system, particularly in terms of the content being taught, such as an increased focus on politics, social justice causes, and gender issues. They talk about the impact of lockdown on their children's mental health and the challenges of monitoring their online activities. The guests also highlight the existence of a Gender and Sexuality Club that provided support to students without parental involvement. Overall, the podcast sheds light on the complexities of navigating the education system and the influence it can have on students' beliefs and identities.   Connect with me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tammy.m.peterson/ Faceboook: https://www.facebook.com/MrsTammyMPeterson Twitter: https://twitter.com/Tammy1Peterson TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tammy.m.peterson

Is The Climate Crisis a Spiritual Crisis? Ayisha Siddiqa and Sophia Li on Sustainability as a Birthright, The Role of Ego in the Climate Crisis, and Personality Cults in Activism. The climate crisis is REAL, and it's impacting all of our lives. It's been on my heart to have a climate focused episode on Pod Noor but I wanted to make sure the conversation was one my listeners were really going to connect to. So the question I had been asking myself was: “Is the climate conversation, a spiritual one?” And because everything and everyone is interconnected, the answer I found was: Yes, of course it is. I wanted multiple perspectives and stories on this topic so - yay! Another Podcast Noor panel :) The first person who came to mind for this conversation is one of my dearest friends, Sophia Li. Sophia Li is a Chinese-American award-winning climate journalist and advocate. Her life's work is to make talking about issues such as climate justice, human rights and web3 more accessible, more digestible, and more human. Harvard even named her one of the top climate communicators of 2022. Sophia is also the co-founder of STEWARD, a Digital Art collection and community that partners with conservation, environmental justice and Indigenous nonprofits and global artists to protect the major ecosystems of our natural world. And around the time I knew I wanted to have this conversation, I saw a powerful cover of Time magazine's Women of the Year issue featuring a young activist by the name of Ayisha Siddiqa. Ayisha Siddiqa is a human rights and land defender from the tribal lands of Mochiwala and Mahsan in Pakistan. She is the co-founder of Polluters Out and Fossil Free University. Her work focuses on uplifting the rights of marginalized communities while holding polluting companies accountable at the international level. she's a climate advisor to the UN secretary general and a research scholar at the NYU School of Law, working to bridge the environmental and human rights sector with the youth climate movement. She's also an incredible poet. There are many layers to this storytelling session. We dig into: the role of ego on climate change, how the war on terror has hurt the planet, the harmful assumptions of being and “activist,” personality cults, and of course how climate change is a spiritual issue. We recorded this in partnership with our friends at CitizenM Bowery; overlooking the hustle and bustle of the Lower East Side from the iconic rooftop at CloudM. PS: Stick around because our post interview conversation went even deeper with the role of spirituality and religion in climate change so I recorded some on my phone to share with y'all. :) Welcome to this episode of Podcast Noor.

The Bronx in the 1970s was a perfect storm of things going wrong in New York City: poor urban planning, white flight, budget cuts to municipal and social services, and discriminatory practices coverged into a pressure cooker -- and the outcome was fiery and devastating. But we can't talk about the Bronx burning without ending on the phoenix that emerged from the rubble: the birth of hip-hop.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In part two of this thought-provoking conversation, Zan and Alex Newman delve into the literacy crisis in America. Teaching children to read using phonics has been abandoned by many schools, with often catastrophic consequences. Zan and Alex also touch on the sobering issue of teen suicide and depression in our culture, as well as some of the causes. In contrast to the current spiritual crisis in education, Zan and Alex close by sharing the hope we have in Christ, the benefits of homeschooling, and the importance of faith in education, family life, and freedom.SHOW NOTESzantyler.com/podcast/045-alex-newmanPODCAST SPONSORSpecial Thanks to BJU Press Homeschoolbjupresshomeschool.com CONNECT WITH ZANAsk Zan a question or share your thoughts on this episodezantyler.com/connectAlex Newman | The Spiritual Crisis in Education and the Hope of Homeschooling Pt.2 | Ep. 045

Alex Newman joins Zan for this compelling conversation as they discuss the spiritual crisis in education and the hope of homeschooling. Our Christian heritage as a nation includes Founding Fathers like Noah Webster, who wrote curriculum on all subjects from a biblical basis. That heritage was eroded by men like Robert Owen, Horace Mann, and John Dewey, who believed government-run schools should be secular in nature. Tune in to this episode for a thought-provoking discussion on the importance of prioritizing faith in education.

Dr. Tim Read is a psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and author based in London.  He joins us on the show to discuss the deep unconscious, complexes, being triggered, and why we need a new way to treat mental illness. We talk about the difference between spiritual crisis and psychosis; how modern psychiatry is broken; and why psychiatrists should undergo psychedelic therapy. Additionally, we explore the difference between being in process and processing; how our triggers are an opportunity to step into our healing journey; the role of relationships in our healing; how to help shift culture and community to better support people in crisis; how to support people in psychotic delusion (without colluding in their delusions); and the point at which we should involve psychiatric intervention.

Jessica Corneille, MSc is a Research Psychologist specializing in spontaneous spiritual awakening experiences. On this episode of the podcast we start by presenting a definition of a spontaneous spiritual awakening experience before going on to explore the after-effects of these experiences; how they seem to affect both atheists and strongly religious people; common preceding factors; the neurobiological and psychological factors correlated with spontaneous awakening experiences; as well as negative spiritual experiences, e.g spiritual crisis or spiritual emergencies.  We also deconstruct the exclusive pathologizing of psychosis, bipolar, and schizophrenia and the delegitimization of the mystical states of other cultures as a kind of racism. And we end with a discussion on integrating spontaneous awakening experiences and how to support people in their integration of spontaneous mystical experiences.   ...

There are times when people of faith feel, for a while, far from God. Former NPR religion correspondent Barbara Bradley Hagerty sits down with two spiritual scholars to talk about their experiences with "the dark night of the soul".

This is the start of miniseries within the Spiritual Crisis of our Time in which I examine Jung's Answer to Job, one of his most enigmatic and fascinating books, written in 1952 and which was clearly of enormous personal importance to him. This episode: # explores Jung's own psychology, especially in his childhood, as a background to this work. # presents Jung's account of his religious and theological struggles in his adolescence. # gives a brief account of the story of Job as presented in the bible. # presents the question that Jung felt he had to answer. This series concerns a metaphysical exploration of nature of evil, the contradictions in the godhead, and the dangers to humanity in our own times.

This episode explores the Book of Genesis, in particular the story of Adam and Eve: their existence in the Garden, the temptation to eat the apple from the Tree of Knowledge, and their banishment. It is interpreted as the movement into consciousness which inevitably is also into an awareness of death. A Gnostic and Jungian interpretation of this foundational myth of Western civilization is given. Human consciousness has indeed taken the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. However, if it is to reach the Tree of Life (the second tree in Eden that is forbidden), the human race in the 21st century will have to pass through the gates of death – either symbolically or literally.

"It is a time to ponder on those essential questions: What is your purpose in life, and how can you follow it? What talents can you share with the world, and what are you grateful for? When we deviate from this true calling, when we deviate from love, from creativity, our spiritual crisis occurs. Our body breaks down with negative thought patterns, pain and illness. Even though burnout is the end-stage symptom of chronic stress, it is, in essence, the deviation of our spiritual self. How do we reverse this? We begin to ask ourselves the essential spiritual questions. When we practice them during the time of introspection/quiet/meditation/prayer on asserting our truths of being loving, joyful and creative beings, the process begins and continues. Stress and creativity cannot co-exist. We cannot wait until our health crisis or until we hit rock bottom, deviating into greed, anger, shame or lust. That is not our nature. We must prioritize time to get back to our true selves and, as Gandhi said, “be the change” we want to see in this world: be love, be joy, be creation."
