Podcasts about spiritual progress

Practical and Spiritual Progress - 1975 in Germany (includes old tape recordings)In our early years together, we were going with the flow, of the hippie movement. Thomas would play his flute on the top of a mountain communicating with the universe out there. I was writing poems to our family, saying our baby had chosen us, to be the parents. And Thomas' mother, was seeking to know the future of our child, through her astrology charts. We read all of the popular books about spirituality,including the Aquarian Gospel, which portrayed Jesus as a teacher, and a good man. It sounded good, but these false ideas, led us farther and farther away from the Truth. Instead of becoming humble, we discovered that we were separated from God, because of our pride. When we turned to the Jesus of the Bible, he transformed our minds, and gave us His purpose for life. If you have been listening from the beginning of the podcast, you might remember the story, about when we got rid of those books, by burning them at Living Waters. From that time on, we only read the Bible. But when Thomas and I, were getting ready to leave for Germany, as missionaries, we decided to check out the Christian bookstore in Hayward. We had heard of biographies about Christians, who had chosen to take the gospel to other countries, knowing well that sacrifices would be required of them.

Japa is the mainstay of every practitioner, and anyone who takes it seriously, starting with the idea that no matter what every day, "I always finish my prescribed number of rounds." Anyone who thinks like that is a high-level sādhaka, and anyone who does that without fail will make advancement in devotional service without any doubt. So this is "Make japa great again!" And it means make it great again. Even if it was great yesterday, you have to start over again today and make it great today. Every day is a compartmentalized unit, and we can't rely on the past. We have to say, "Today is the day when it's going to be great." So, knowing that we're authorized by the great ācāryas, all of them recommend, "ei mukta-kaler upasyamānam," all the liberated personalities recommend chanting Hare Krishna. The śāstra recommends chanting Hare Krishna. We have full permission to do what we're doing here today. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

This episode was recorded back in January during the Los Angeles wildfires. And yes, we know it's been sitting in our spiritual junk drawer ever since. But consider this a karmic purge because this is the last episode from the archives and we are back on schedule after this! The backlog is fully cleared, the cosmic colonic worked, and our podcast feed has regular movements once again. In this episode, we embrace the chaos of the new year, talk about fire (actual and astrological), and examine why conspiracy theories have gotten dumber than ever. We also get real about personal evolution, sharing a practical framework for identity shifts (where you'll meet our alter egos, Lucky and Tippy) and we discuss what it actually takes to make lasting change when your life feels like it's on fire — figuratively or literally.Inside this episode:The astrology behind the LA fires and why your identity might feel like it's… unzipping itselfA complete evisceration of tunnel-based Hollywood fire conspiraciesWhy manifestation without a plan is just wishful griftingOur new favorite New Year's ritual involving AI and aesthetic phone wallpapersHow to build better habits without hating yourselfThe moment we debut our spiritual alter egos and probably start a whole new religionAlso: practical accountability, dumb TikToks, bad movies, good mindset shifts, and the gentle reminder that even though time is fake, the choices you make with the time you have are very real.From here on out, it's all fresh content. Thanks for sticking with us. Lucky and Tippy are ready. Are you?*******************************About The Serendipity Sessions:We began The Serendipity Sessions as a series in the Clairannoyance podcast so we could have real-time unscripted conversations. Unlike our subject-specific deep dives and guest interview episodes, The Serendipity Sessions is a raw reflection of the genuine bond we share. We have no rules and no episode notes in advance, just a free-flowing exchange of thoughts and emotions. It's an exploration of the outer banks of consciousness where untamed treasures are hidden away. We believe one sudden insight can hold immense value, far beyond most meticulously planned discussions. Each session is a unique encounter with chance as we defy routine and enjoy a spontaneous dance with spirituality. We aim to keep these episodes as evergreen as possible, so you can find your way here whenever you need to. And hopefully, you'll encounter pieces of yourself every time you join us.*******************************Please rate us 5 stars and leave us a review!

We recorded this episode in December 2024. We're releasing it in May 2025. Yes, we know. Time is fake. Calendars are a colonial construct. But astrology still slaps, even when it's late. We apologize for any outdated references in this episode, but we still wanted post it because this is the part of the year where things REALLY start to change. It's a great opportunity to reflect on the year thus far and stay prepared for what's coming next.This episode is an overview of the energetic architecture of 2025. We discuss the biggest planetary shifts, collective themes, and the existential whiplash that these historic astrology formations are unleashing. In this episode, we cover:Why 2025 is a preview of the next five yearsWhy Pluto in Aquarius is the era of aliens, AI, and collective uprising (and why drones might be the new oracles)How Saturn and Neptune moving into Aries will completely reshape our understanding of identity, imagination, and self-leadershipWhy Uranus in Gemini will make nerds hot again (sexy librarians, you're on deck!)What it means when every outer planet changes signs in such a short period of timeThe astrology behind class revolts and why corporate overlords should watch their backsAnd how you, dear listener, can pivot, strategize, and maybe even monetize your way through this cosmic paradigm shiftYou'll also hear us:Predict the weaponization of butt plugs for interdimensional travelPraise the rise of spiritual individualism and customizable capitalismDeclare the death of “cool” and the rebirth of authentic weirdnessAnd remind you (gently? lol no) that you're going to need to stay adaptable, resilient, and a little unhinged to ride this wave.This episode is chaotic, unscripted, and completely vital. Even if it's five months late.The astrology doesn't care when you listen. Just that you do.***************************P.S. PLEASE RATE OUR PODCAST AND SHARE IT WITH YOUR FRIENDS!!!

It's broken down by Viśvanāth Cakravartī Ṭhākur in the Madhurya Kadambinī. He says, when you eliminate certain obstacles, then you're known to be in niṣṭhā. And I mentioned some of them, like sleep, distraction, the awakening of lower desires—suddenly they come out in different ways, indifference; you're not distracted, you're not sleepy, but you just don't care. Meh! All of that evaporates in time by good association, by following the process, and then one has this sense of no obstacle. There's nothing holding me back from the process. And that's called niṣṭhā—steadiness, consistency. From that platform, then one can make further advancement in devotional service; otherwise, we're always knocked back. So it's recommended that we really invest ourselves in getting out of the mire of bad qualities by seriously practicing devotional service till we come to niṣṭhā, then we can proceed to the next stage, which is ruci, where it's noticeable that we really want to hear. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------ #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

Long time no talk! By talk, we mean screaming into the void. Put your headphones on -- we have a lot of catching up to do. We know. We disappeared. But like any good ghosting situation, we're returning with no explanation… except an entire episode of explanations. In our first episode since January, we blow the dust off our mics and confront who we thought we were before life sideswiped us with plot twists, spiritual detours, and 47 new existential crises.This comeback episode is equal parts cute and chaotic. Featuring six semi-structured segments (plus a fully unhinged AI narrator for no good reason whatsoever), we reflect on how we've changed since January, chew on the ways the world has changed, and hopefully we also make you feel a little bit better if your current bar for thriving is "I cried, but I scheduled it."  Let's all trauma dump together into the abyss and hope the abyss claps back with some clarity, shall we? We're back. We missed you. New episodes are coming regularly. Let the emotional spirals commence. ***************************Podcast & Host Links:Clairannoyance InstagramClairannoyance TikTokClairannoyance WebsiteMegan's InstagramMegan's TikTokMegan's WebsiteRyan's InstagramRyan's TikTokRyan's Website

2 Peter 1:5-15, Evening Service The post “Spiritual Progress” appeared first on Covenant PCA.

This morning Young Adult Pastor Don Preston looked at Colossians 2:5-15 and we learned how to make Spiritual Progress, guard against Spiritual Perils all because of God's Spiritual Provisions.

Many of us have made mistakes throughout the course of our lives and most of us have regrets, but how do the choices we make in life affect us in the afterlife?Today, Michael and Tony discuss how our choices affect our spiritual vibrations and in turn, how we attract those same vibrations we create, both high and low. The good news is, it's never too late to take a more enlightened path.

Is the goal of our spiritual walk perfection or progress? Pastor Jeff brought a powerful word on Sunday encouraging the believer to lay aside perfection and start striving toward progress. In so many areas of our life we seek progress. We work towards the degree, the promotion, the relationship, the new car, and the bigger house. Do we have this same mindset in our walk with Christ? Pastor Jeff challenges us to not be stagnant, but instead, to progress towards perfection that we have in Christ our Lord. Listen to this sermon where Pastor Jeff focuses on Romans 11:36 and reminds us that all things start with God, and furthermore, all things are sustained by Him.

God's answer to a universal problem.Could there be a more basic problem in our lives than our battle with pride? The good news: for this universal problem, a universal spiritual solution is available through Jesus Christ.Support the show

Join Joe McDonald as he clarifies a common misconception about spiritual progress in Step 12 of Alcoholics Anonymous. Joe explains that the Big Book isn't talking about theology, but about a conscious, sensory relationship with the power that animates us. This is about feeling and sharing that power, not just talking about it. He emphasizes that both you and the new man must walk day by day in the path of spiritual progress—not just by having a “new guy,” but by experiencing spiritual growth yourself.In Alcoholics Anonymous, Step 12 is about carrying the message and walking a path of spiritual progress. Joe reminds us that this journey is about more than helping others—it's about feeling and sharing the power of recovery through conscious relationship.To support and learn from journeys like Joe McDonald, please like, comment, and share.

What if digital actions like copying text or selecting emojis carry an unseen weight — a subtle energy that lingers in the virtual world? In this episode, we explore technomancy — the intersection of technology and mysticism — and the ways it's creating a "digital empathy" of sorts. Like it or not, our digital lives are seeping into our emotional experiences in the real world. From the strange “weight” of holding copied text before you paste it, to a psychic who reads people's recently used emojis like tarot cards, we look into the modern mysteries of the digital realm. Are we subconsciously developing new forms of animism for our devices, sensing energy where there is none? Or, could this be the next frontier in spiritual evolution?Videos Highlighted in this Episode:TikTok Video: The first video we introduceTikTok Video: The second video we introduceAdditional Resources:Definition: Embodied CognitionDefinition: AnimismTikTok Video: AI Realizing It's Not RealStudy: Emergence of the ‘Digitalized Self' in the Age of DigitalizationArticle: Divine Technology: The Rise of Digital SpiritualityArticle: The Two Faces of Digital SpiritualityArticle: From iPhone to iGod: The Rise of Digital Spirituality******************PLEASE take a moment to give us a 5-star rating and leave us a written review!

On the heels of another dynamic eclipse season — marked by a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Aries on September 17 and a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra on October 2 — we're pausing to reflect on how these cosmic influences are showing up in both real-world events and our everyday lives.This was the final eclipse season of the Aries/Libra cycle, which kicked off in July 2023 and will wind down by January 11, 2025.  At that point, the North Node will transition from Aries to Pisces and the South Node will shift from Libra to Virgo. Once the new eclipse cycle begins, fate will take us in a different direction until July 2026. But that's a conversation for another day (and another episode). For now, let's commemorate the tail end of the Aries/Libra cycle. Some of the topics we explore in today's episode include:The simultaneous decline in both divorce and marriage ratesGen Z's surprising commitment to monogamy, more so than Millennials and Gen XWhy more people admit to having friends, but not spending much time with themThe joy of reconnecting with old friends — and the strange reasons we avoid it, despite wanting toThe importance of discernment when we're touch-starved, and why hugs may not be as simple as they seem (hint: other people's moods can be contagious)How masculine and feminine energies express themselves, and how gender does — and doesn't — come into playEclipses are often a time of downfall or death for public figures, and this season was no different, as exemplified by Sean ‘Diddy' Combs' recent charges of sex trafficking and racketeeringThe looming question of whether an “October Surprise” will disrupt the U.S. presidential election… or if we've reached a point where it's simply impossible to be surprised by politics anymoreResources Mentioned in this Episode:Article: What's Behind the Plunge in Divorce Rates?Study: Gen Z is Transforming Sexuality and RelationshipsArticle: Does Anyone Have Time to Be a Good Friend Anymore?Study: People are Surprisingly Hesitant to Reach Out to Old FriendsArticle: Large Scientific Review Confirms the Benefits of Physical TouchArticle: Depression is ContagiousArticle: Norah Vincent, Who Chronicled Passing as a Man, Is Dead at 53Book: “Self-Made Man” by Norah VincentBook: “The Queen's Code” by Alison A.

This month focuses on the fine line between standing your ground and recognizing when it's time to negotiate. This month invites us to reflect on what we are willing to hold on to, even in the face of adversity, and when it might be wiser to compromise for the sake of balance and harmony. The pros and cons of standing firm — clarity and conviction versus stubbornness and isolation — will be at the forefront of our experiences throughout the month. Will you defend your hill to the end, or can you let go when the cost becomes too great?Themes and transits discussed in this episode include:Why are we on a hill this month?Libra's crucial role as the sign between Virgo and ScorpioNew Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra (Oct. 2)Full Moon in Aries (Oct. 17)Mercury enters Scorpio (Oct. 13)Venus enters Sagittarius (Oct. 17)Sun enters Scorpio (Sept. 22)Mars Pre-Retrograde Shadow Begins (Oct. 4)Jupiter Retrograde in Gemini Begins (Oct. 9)Pluto Retrograde Ends in Capricorn (Oct. 11)Mercury follows the story of The Labyrinth this monthVenus follows the story of Cinderella this monthExtra Days of Caution (Oct. 13, 14, and 22)Extra Days of Opportunity (Oct. 12, 24, and 28)******************RATE US 5 STARS PLEASE!

So... what do 5G microwaves, a clothing line made of tin foil, and a bunch of confiscated dildos have in common? Is this even a spiritual podcast anymore?  Wtf am I listening to?We're back on our bullshit. In this Serendipity Session, we dive headfirst into the absurd, the spiritual, and the conspiratorial. Eyebrows will be raised, but we don't give a fuck. We cover everything from M.I.A.'s new anti-5G fashion line (because, apparently, 5G protection is high fashion now), to P. Diddy's arrest and the authorities' peculiar discovery of his, um, adult extracurricular props. But wait, there's more! Along the way, we talk about the dangers of TikTok baby witches casting spells like it's a high school chemistry experiment, and we go off on white girls who jump into spirituality with no shame about colonizing closed spiritual practices from other cultures. We discuss the philosophical Ship of Theseus (because, duh, you need to learn something esoteric in every episode). And we also explore the weird dynamics that arise when spiritual readers try to read for other spiritual readers (spoiler alert: it doesn't always go well). If you're in the mood for some Clairannoyance chaos mixed with on-the-spot spiritual insights, you've landed on the right episode. If you're looking for something else... then go listen to our 60 other episodes. Also, go rate us 5 stars.

Each session is a unique encounter with chance as we defy routine and enjoy a spontaneous dance with spirituality. We aim to keep these episodes as evergreen as possible, so you can find your way here whenever you need to. And hopefully, you'll encounter pieces of yourself every time you join us.********************************Podcast & Host Resources:Clairannoyance InstagramClairannoyance TikTokClairannoyance WebsiteMegan's InstagramMegan's TikTokMegan's WebsiteRyan's InstagramRyan's TikTokRyan's Website

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode touches on topics related to suicide. If you're experiencing suicidal thoughts or feeling overwhelmed, support is available. Call or text 988 — it's a free, confidential help line available 24/7. Seeking help is a sign of strength, and we want you to be here. You matter.By nature, humans are drawn to the edge of existence. We hear that unsettling whisper, beckoning us toward danger, and we feel tempted to tip-toe toward it. "The Call of the Void" is a strange and primal phenomenon — thoughts of self-destruction that pop in our minds seemingly out of nowhere — from the urge to jump off a great height or the sudden desire to swerve into oncoming traffic. It's ominous. But it's not as scary as you might think. Here's the paradox: The Call of the Void is not about wanting to die; it's about appreciating what it means to feel alive. These thoughts are a reminder of the pulse of life. It's a way we feel our mortality and sharpen our existence.In this episode, we walk the fine line between intuition and impulse to discover how risk-taking behaviors can be a gateway to spiritual transformation. Risky endeavors can lead us to a "flow state" where we deepen our connection to the universe, leading to peak experiences and even mystical revelations. Are we wired to crave risk as part of our spiritual journey? And what happens when we ignore that inner voice — when we let fear and self-doubt stagnate our potential? We learn from these moments on the edge, when chaos gives way to creation. You are here for a reason, and sometimes, following that gut instinct — even if it feels a little risky — is exactly how you'll feel closer to your purpose. The universe has a collective field of ideas, and if you don't act on that pull toward something extraordinary, someone else will. When the Call of the Void rings, will you take time to listen a little deeper? Or will you be left wondering what could have been?*****************************************Questions / Journal Prompts / Meditations:What's your flow state?When do you find yourself feeling captivated by other people who are in their own flow state or engaging in behaviors you might think are risky? How does watching them make you feel? Why do you think you're captivated by them? What do you want the most in life, and what risks might you need to take to achieve those goals? If you don't know you want, ask yourself what you're afraid of and explore those fears. Chances are, if you get honest about what scares you, you'll be led to revelations about what you want the most.*****************************************Episode Resources:Movie: ThelmaSong: "Heat Death (The End of Everything)" by Sophia JamesBook: "The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking)" by Katie MackBook: "Sensation Seeking: Beyond the Optimal Level of Arousal" by Marvin ZuckermanBook: "Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience" by Mihaly CsilkszentmihalyiBook: "The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious" by Carl JungBook: "Religions, Values, and Peak-Experiences" by Abraham MaslowBook: "Adventure Therapy: Theory, Research and Practice" by Gass, Gillis & RussellBook: "Chaos: Making A New Science" by James GleickArticle: "Do You Have The Adventure Gene?"Article: "The Confidence/Competence Loop"Study: "An Urge to Jump Affirms the Urge to Live"*****************************************Podcast & Host Resources:Clairannoyance InstagramClairannoyance TikTokClairannoyance WebsiteMegan's InstagramMegan's TikTokMegan's WebsiteRyan's InstagramRyan's TikTokRyan's Website

We're the architects of a future we'll never inhabit. In the face of today's global challenges, we must consider how our actions set the stage for those who will inherit the Earth after us. Are we obligated to act now for people we'll never meet? Do future generations even have rights? In today's episode, we discuss the spiritual implications of "now vs. later" — how short-term desires clash with long-term responsibilities. From environmental conservation to preserving cultural and moral values, we explore what it really means to leave behind a legacy. Does spirituality demand that we leave footprints in the sand, or seeds in the soil for a forest we'll never see? Throughout history, certain societies have embraced long-term thinking, while others have been crumbled by short-term gains. From Indigenous practices of sustainability to modern roles like the Future Generations Commissioner of Wales, long-term stewardship has always been a guiding principle. But it's becoming rarer in today's fast-paced world — just look at the instant gratification of consumerism or political leaders who make decisions solely based on election cycles. What is the price of constantly living for the present, and how does it stunt our collective growth? Can we design systems and cultures that help us rise above short-term thinking, even in the face of an immediate crisis?Even beliefs like reincarnation, which promise a second chance, can lead us to focus on personal ‘good karma' rather than the welfare of future generations. What does it truly mean to be a "good ancestor" when we're preoccupied with our own spiritual returns? We also cover some common spiritual practices, like meditation and manifestation, explaining which ones foster a mindset of sustainability and which may unintentionally encourage short-term thinking. Stewarding the future carries a heavy weight, both spiritually and emotionally. But the truth is that you are both an echo of the past and a whisper for the future. What kind of sound will your life make? *****************************************"Like the earth, let us help and share the burden of all.

It can be easy to feel like we should be further along in our faith journey, especially when we read some of the stories in the Bible. We see the bold faith of Peter, the courageous self-sacrifices of Paul, or the calm love of Mary, and we ask why we aren't like them. And it is the subtle twist into comparison that steals away our ability to grow into the disciple God has made and called us to be.

We're doing a quickie Serendipity Sessions type of episode today! Join us as we talk about Megan's recent Akashic Records and DMT experiences, discuss some racial tension arising in the Israeli/Palestinian war, explain why the universe wants you to help yourself before helping anyone else, and.... aliens?

..but Mahārāja Pratāparudra said : I don't want anything else except service to Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu and if I can't at least come before him and express my devotion to him then I will give up my kingdom. What's more I would give up my life. And Prabhupāda comments that , that sense of do or die, I only want this was his first qualification for Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu giving him his mercy.

Grab your cosmic passport and join us as we finally travel the galaxy in search of the truth about Starseeds. TRIGGER WARNING: This may be a provocative or controversial episode if you identify as a Starseed (in which case, this episode is probably even more important for you to listen to). Starseeds are a subculture within the new age spirituality community. They believe they are extraterrestrial souls incarnated on Earth to elevate humanity to a higher state of consciousness. They come from various galaxies and star systems far, far away. It sounds like science fiction. And actually... it kind of is. You'll see what we mean. It's also fueled by more sobering ideologies like white supremacy, eugenics, and capitalism. Researching these darker parallels, it becomes clear that starseeds are (most likely) not from some distant galaxy. Instead, they're found at the intersection of cosmic elitism and earthly prejudices. Despite our skepticism, we eventually stretch our understanding to consider the possibilities that starseed narratives offer. We reflect on why such beliefs resonate deeply with those who feel disenfranchised by the conventional world. We acknowledge the psychological comfort these narratives provide, and the sense of control and purpose they offer in our often chaotic human existence. Whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or simply curious, there's something here for you. And we're not done. In a future Part 2 episode, we'll dive even further into this subject -- and we invite anyone who identifies as a starseed to speak with us for that episode! If that's you, please reach out. We'd love to chat and promise to keep an open mind and a comfortable atmosphere for you to share your perspective with us. *****************************************Resources Mentioned in this Episode:Article: The Dark Historical Roots of StarseedsArticle: Psychologists on StarseedsArticle: Common Types of StarseedsWebsite: Barbara MarciniakVideo: Matias De Stefano Summoning Aliens (Allegedly)*****************************************Podcast & Host Resources:Clairannoyance InstagramClairannoyance TikTokClairannoyance WebsiteMegan's InstagramMegan's TikTokMegan's WebsiteRyan's InstagramRyan's TikTokRyan's Website

Astrologers are ringing the alarms for August, but we're here to give you a more grounded look at the cosmic landscape. We're learning this month that your ability to love and commit to anything - a person, a hobby, a job, a pet, anything! - is worth the pain and imperfections. The joy you derive from the things you love and commit to, despite their flaws, is essential for your growth and resilience.This is an important month to seek clarity in the actions and intentions of others. If you practice empathy, you can better understand why others act the way they do, which can help you find healthy ways of loving them through both "better" and "worse" scenarios. Even if something you love must come to an "end" this month, that doesn't mean you failed to love it "for better or for worse." What matters is having the experience of loving something that much at all. Once you do, it becomes an unchangeable part of your reality. It transcends all timelines. It will have always existed, and will always exist. Preview of Topics in this Episode:Brief discussion about last month's astrology forecastDeep dive into the theme for August: “For Better, For Worse”A beautiful New Moon in LeoA tense Full Moon in AquariusYour every-August reminder that “8/8 Lionsgate” is new age spirituality BS5 planetary sign changesA deep dive into the asteroid Juno moving through LibraMercury retrograde in Virgo and LeoThe Mid-Month Mess!

***TRIGGER WARNING: Politics Ahead!This is not a typical “spiritual” episode — but actually, it is!Part of a healthy spiritual practice is paying attention to what's happening in the world and allowing yourself to feel however you might feel about what you witness. If you're not paying attention, you're not participating in life. And if you're not participating, you're disassociating. And that just makes no sense, because you're here for a reason. It's not always easy, but your participation in this grand human experiment matters. We're conscious beings on a giant rock flying 67,000 miles per hour through the vacuum of space. If you don't participate and give that some meaning, then the “powers that be” will make it mean something for you… and you may not enjoy what “they” turn your human experience into.ALSO! Someone decided to leave us an anonymous negative review and attempted to belittle Ryan (on Apple Podcasts). We rant about this for a bit, but it also sparked a conversation about the importance of learning how to have discourse with people who think differently than us. It's a fact: not everyone will share your point of view. But how you interact with people from “the other side” reflects and defines your character, not theirs.That said… we have 2 small favors:Send a positive thought to the person who chose to leave us a crappy review. They woke up that day and decided it was a productive use of their time to harden someone else's heart. We hope the universe shows them the compassion and open-mindedness they were unable to offer on their own.Please consider leaving us a 5-star review (on Apple Podcasts or Spotify especially). Your support and positivity means the world to us!***EPISODE NOTE: We recorded this episode in the wake of Donald Trump's assassination attempt and just days before Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential race. Our discussion is based on information available at that time, so please excuse anything that may not be factual at the time you're listening to this. Nonetheless, this episode is a fascinating snapshot of a major moment in American history. The news cycle changes rapidly these days, so to a lot has changed between the time we recorded this and published it, but we're so glad we were able to document this conversation and capture how we felt during this pivotal time.Love you all!*****************************************Resources Mentioned in this Episode:Website: WanderOnwards.coTV Show: The Righteous Gemstones*****************************************Podcast & Host Resources:Clairannoyance InstagramClairannoyance TikTokClairannoyance WebsiteMegan's InstagramMegan's TikTokMegan's WebsiteRyan's InstagramRyan's TikTokRyan's Website

I had some fun synchronicities pop into my life this past week so I decided to do another episode focused on honoring the unexpected coincidences that we experience. Whether it's seeing your name somewhere surprising or running into someone in an unusual place, there truly are no REAL coincidences and many of these events are orchestrated by our angels and guides to offer us confirmation that we are on our path! On this Divine Feminine solo episode I share about my most recent surprising synchronicity and my inspired thoughts around it. Realizing that these events appear to be a Divine confirmation that we are moving in the right direction yet also recognition from our angels of the work we are doing and strength we have shown. It can be difficult when it feels like we are in this alone with no real support or anyone to understand us. It may be a good time to check in to see if that feels true or if maybe there have been signs that perhaps you are not alone at all.   Nature's Whispers Oracle Cards, https://blueangelonline.com/shop/card-decks/oracle-cards/natures-whispers/Join the Women Waken Community on Instagram Here: https://tinyurl.com/522duz2c Feel free to reach out to me to see how we can work together and send your questions, feedback, and requests for future solo episodes here: Whitney Walker, LMFTLicense # 107082www.WomenWaken.comhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/profi...Whitney@WomenWaken.comIG: @WomenwakenYoutube: @womenwaken

There are 39 messages in total. Volumes one and two are messages taught during a church retreat in Rixheim (France) in July 1989. Volumes three and four are a series of messages that were given during the teaching ministry of the church in Yaounde (Cameroon) between 1985 and 1986. Because the messages are here produced from recordings, they are not theological discussions, but words from a heart to hearts.

Lecture by Swami Tyagananda, given on July 14, 2024, at the Ramakrishna Vedanta Society, Boston, MA.

We're back! And this episode feels very prescient. We recorded this in June, but life has been crazy and we haven't had a chance to edit and post it until now. We apologize for the delay, but the episode definitely has some interesting information foreshadowing some of the current events we've experienced in July. As everyone now knows, an assassination attempt was made on former President Trump on July 13. While we didn't go too deep into politics in this episode, we discussed it a bit and you'll likely hear the related themes. Outside of current events, this month has a deeply personal feeling and everyone will experience July in a wholly unique way. Which island of the archipelago are you on? For the first 39 minutes, we discuss the overarching feeling of the month. Then we cover all the notable astrology transits - and there are quite a lot! Preview of what we cover in this episode:July is an archipelago of self-discovery, a fractal, and an alephThe journey from Cancer to LeoNew Moon in Cancer and Full Moon in Capricorn5 dates where planets change signs4 retrogrades to know aboutA LOT of (primarily good!) transits on July 2 and July 21Three tense Pluto oppositions on July 3, July 12, and July 225 dates where the Nodes of Fate are activatedA whole slew of honorable mention dates with various transits and energies to expectResources Mentioned in this Episode:Article: Ecological Systems TheoryVideo: FractalShort Story: The Aleph by Jorge Luis BorgesArticle: What is Irrealism?Podcast & Host Resources:Clairannoyance InstagramClairannoyance TikTokClairannoyance WebsiteMegan's InstagramMegan's TikTokMegan's WebsiteRyan's InstagramRyan's TikTokRyan's Website
