Episode 254 PREVIEW: Expect the Unexpected & Never Say Never (Full Episode on Patreon) | This is a preview of a subscriber-only episode from Aligned Access, my sacred space on Patreon where we go deeper than ever before.In this storytime-style episode, I share the wildly aligned (and slightly cinematic) moment a mystery man left a dozen roses and a handwritten note at my door… the same day I'd been vlogging about how men don't just show up at your front door. It was hilarious, heart-opening and more than anything: a powerful sign.We dive into manifestation, divine timing, why “birds before land” moments matter and how to trust the energetic breadcrumbs even when the full picture hasn't arrived. It's a reminder to stay open, surrender control and let yourself be surprised. Because anything is possible… and your desires might be closer than you think.

What does the heart of your creative process look like? The messy, magical, intuitive space where inspiration meets healing. So many of us have been conditioned to believe we're not creative because we didn't fit into a mold and this is a belief I once carried myself.   Creativity for me has become not just an act of expression, but a spiritual practice and a healing tool. Whether you're a painter, a writer, a healer, or someone who's just beginning to explore your creative spark, your creativity becomes the most powerful when it's aligned with your essence.    A few things we touch on in this episode:   Letting inspiration flow when you step outside routine “Being stuck” is often just fear of choice Why reconnecting with your unique creative rhythm can transform not only what you make, but who you are.   Thanks for being on this journey with me.    I love you    Xoxo, Sarah   Helpful Links:   Join us in THE JOURNEY Our mentorship portal https://sarahnoble.com/journey/   Subscribe to our Substack for exclusive teachings and content.  https://snoble.substack.com/   The Devotion Codes is a FREE 6-part transmission that guides you out of the cycle of self-discipline and self-control, and into the loving embrace of self-devotion.

To live each day as a ritual, knowing that I am the source of my life. Everything comes FROM me and that my obstacles are actually the path to living an even greater and wilder existence.

How to Have a Steady Spiritual Practice Amidst Life's Dualities | HG Vaisesika Dasa | 04 May 2024

Sound Bhakti

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 15, 2025 51:08


We have to tolerate the extremes in the world, and toleration is one of the ways that Krishna recommends throughout the Bhagavad Gītā to be steady in spiritual consciousness. Don't give in to the extremes and the changes of the external world. Also, notice that if you pursue the pleasure of the senses in this world, then the result of it will be—although it may feel like pleasure in the beginning—there'll be misery at the end, because you'll have to contend with the reaction to it. So, we remain neutral while we're in the body, and we go on with our spiritual duty. And as one does that, there's a sense of satisfaction, which is invaluable in this world, because nobody has it. It's very rare because you can only get it from the spiritual platform. You can't get it from having money. You can't get it from having a beautiful property somewhere. You can't get it from having freedom to fly all over the world. Any of these things don't bring lasting happiness; only if one has developed Krishna consciousness can one become happy, and it doesn't matter what the situation is externally. So, although this seems to be a very simple principle in a simple verse, it's one of the essential aspects of practicing spiritual life: learning how to tolerate the dualities and to go on with one's practice in spiritual life. And the final point I'll make is that consistency is king in spiritual practice. If you're able to be consistent, even if you start with a minimal practice, but you keep it up every day and do your quota that you've decided to do, then it will have its effect. And there's an example that someone once gave about how, when you make yogurt, does anybody here know how to make yogurt? You take a big pot of milk—let's just say it is a big pot, and call your life a big pot of milk. If you take a little yogurt that's already there and you put it in the milk, even if it's a little bit, you put it into the big pot of milk, and then you set the pot in a place with an even temperature, not too cold, not too hot, and you leave it overnight, a miracle happens. You come back and the whole pot turns to yogurt. So we have a lot of things going on in our lives, but if you can add that spiritual practice to the big pot of your life, then eventually the whole pot transforms, and everything about your life gets connected to Krishna consciousness. It doesn't mean you have to give up what you're doing. As an example here is Arjuna. He's a warrior, and therefore he has to fight. It's his duty. If you call somebody when you're getting attacked, who's supposed to be a police officer, and say, "Please help me," and they say, "Oh, no, sorry, I'm non-violent, I can't help you," a non-violent policeman or a violent priest are not wanted. Everyone has their duty to do; they have to do it. So we go on with whatever our duties are in life, but if we add this spiritual practice and do it consistently, then gradually, everything transforms. ----------------------------------------------------------- To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------

I have a M.Div. from Corban University, a MA in Christian Ministry from GCU, and a Post-Graduate Certificate in Biblical Languages from GCU. The Bible is God's Word to us, and for that reason, it is important for us to understand it (yes, we even have to work on the hard parts and the tricky parts). The Bible itself is a gift of grace from God to us – He was under no obligation to give it to us, and yet in it He has given us everything needed for life and godliness (2 Pet. 1:3). The Holy Spirit is active when we preach the Scripture and when we hear the Scripture, glorifying God and drawing us to Him; for that reason, I do what I can to accurately deliver the Word of God.--Connect with Us:contact@parableministries.comParable MinistriesInstagram--If you feel led to give to Parable Ministries, please visit: DonateMusic created by Chad HoffmanArtwork created by Anthony Kuenzi

What if feeding what you love—even in the face of despair—could be your most vital climate practice?In this episode, Jennifer offers a guided practice inspired by a recent conversation with climate educator and author Sarah Jaquette Ray, who invites us to face the monstrous scale of climate change not with more fixing, but with more loving.

In one of the most powerful moments of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, Krishna speaks for the first time—and what He says sheds light on the real aim of yoga, austerity, and spiritual discipline. Raghunath and Kaustubha, joined by Radhanath Swami in the studio, unpack this pivotal teaching: that it's not the practice alone that transforms us, but the devotion that infuses it. Without bhakti, even the most intense austerity leaves us spiritually unfulfilled. With it, every action becomes divine. Tune in for deep insights into Krishna's words, reflections on a moving initiation ceremony, and an honest look at what makes spiritual life real, sweet, and powerful.

How are we shaped by the world around us and what is our role in shaping it?   Amisha is honored to walk with Alnoor Ladha in this transformative episode that blends the personal and political, the spiritual and systemic. Alnoor has spent years at the intersection of activism, mysticism, and storytelling - working to reimagine how we relate to power, care, and community. In this episode we get into all kinds of things: taking real responsibility (like, the kind that doesn't burn you out), how our inner healing connects to outer systems, grounded spiritual practice as a form of resistance, what post-capitalism could actually feel like in the body, and how deprogramming scarcity can open us up to deeper connection and joy. We talk about: :: Power, entitlement, and victimhood - not as buzzwords, but as energies we carry and can transform :: Why separating the spiritual from the political just doesn't make sense anymore :: Living your values without needing to be perfect :: How systems like capitalism got made - and why we can unmake them :: What becomes possible when we choose compassion over competition, and care over control This one's for anyone who feels the overwhelm of the world and still believes something else is possible. Alnoor offers a grounded, tender invitation to look at what's happening globally as a mirror of what's going on in our relationships, our bodies, and our everyday choices. We hope this conversation lands in your chest, loosens some old stories, and opens up space for something more generous, more collective, and way more alive.

 This conversation marks the beginning of a deeper inquiry for Dr. John Vervaeke: What if pilgrimage is not a retreat from the world, but a return to what is most real? Joined by Ethan Hsieh, John explicates his intent to preregister his intellectual and philosophical orientation before beginning his metaphorical pilgrimage. Drawing on parallels with psychology's preregistration practice, John's aim is to document his internal state at various stages of his journey. The conversation delves deep into the concepts of theoria, theophany, and theosis, advocating for a pilgrimage that is not merely a lecture series but a 'meta-noetic passage.' The dialogue anticipates John's encounters with historical figures, sages, and the individuals who embody and interpret their legacy. John expresses his openness to how these encounters might transform him, acknowledging the potential psychological and physiological challenges involved. The dialogue also touches upon themes of the imaginal and the importance of community and fellowship in the pilgrimage process. Ethan contributes by drawing connections to broader themes of perception and philosophical inquiry. The conversation culminates in the hope that this philosophical and spiritual journey will not only deepen John's understanding but also inspire others to embark on their own explorative journeys. —- Notes: (00:00) Introduction to the Philosophical Silk Road (00:30) The Concept of Preregistration in Philosophy (01:00) Defining the Pilgrimage and Its Purpose (02:00) Introducing Ethan and the Dialogical Approach (04:30) Exploring the Original Orientation (05:30) The Challenge of Propositional Tyranny (07:00) Theoria and Theophany: Renewing the Senses (13:30) Meta Noetic Passage and Pilgrimage (20:00) Engaging with Sages and Geographical Perspectives (24:00) Personal Challenges and Psychological Defects (31:30) The Fellowship of the Pilgrimage (33:00) Interlocutors and Sages: A Deeper Dive (54:00) Introduction to Theosis (55:00) Historical Continuity and Henosis (56:00) Henosis and Kenosis in Christian Mysticism (57:30) The Paradox of Self-Transcendence (01:00:30) Theosis and Inner Athea (01:05:30) Personal Reflections and Burnout (01:09:00) The Concept of Unbinding (01:11:00) Non-Theism and Theism (01:25:00) Pilgrimage and Transformation (01:38:30) Reflections on Personal Growth (01:48:00) Concluding Thoughts and Future Questions If you would like to donate purely out of goodwill to support John's work, please consider joining our Patreon.

In this enlightening podcast episode, Guy welcomed back Lawrence Edwards, a profound spiritual teacher and mental health practitioner. They delved into the nature of spiritual awakening, the soul's evolution, and the hero's journey. Lawrence discussed the integration of the finite and the infinite within us and how awakening consciousness serves the highest divine purpose. The conversation explored the significance of dharma, the role of discipline in spiritual practice, and the transformative power of selfless service and love. The episode also touched on the mystical experiences across various traditions and the universal pursuit of knowing the infinite. Lawrence emphasized the importance of courage and dedication in navigating the spiritual path, the necessity of teachers, and the ultimate goal of helping all beings achieve freedom from suffering. About Lawrence: Lawrence Edwards is a neurotherapist, psychotherapist, and an expert in Kundalini Awakening, our innate power of Consciousness that creates the highest order of transformation and revelation. This power is the foundation of all yogic, mantra and meditation practices. Lawrence is regarded by many as a modern mystic known for his love of the Divine. He is unusual in this field because he has a deep grounding in both Eastern and Western traditions, and applies them both to his work with Kundalini.  His personal, direct, life-long experience of the extraordinary power and grace of Kundalini are reflected in his writings, teaching and poetry.  His experiences began early in life and he says Kundalini's grace continues to be the essence of his life.
