We need to know our identity (Prov 23:7). It has 2 sources: our (1) CREATION in Adam (Gen 1:26-27) & (2) REDEMPTION in Christ. Since we're born in Adam, we share his identity as God's image, to reflect & express His glory. As part of our identity, He created us male or female. In Adam, we all sinned & are under divine judgment. Our nature, inherited from Adam, is prideful rebellion against God. Man's collective sin became so bad, God judged it at Noah's Flood, after which He told man to fill the earth (Gen 9:1). But man rebelled again at Babel (Gen 11:1-9). So, God scattered man over the earth, dividing us into nations. This is God's will, designed to restrain the spread of sin. It's God's idea to create national identities, with different characteristics, that are part of our identity & inheritance in Adam. We embrace & celebrate these aspects of our identity, as we should embrace our God-given sexual identity. As man separated into nations, they developed their own cultures & ways, so certain genes became dominant in populations, creating different abilities & appearances. Though we're divided into nations, we belong to one human family in Adam (Acts 17:26), and so share a common inheritance (good & bad), so we're all equal. Globalism tries to override the power of nation states to set up a one-world government. This was Nimrod's vision at Babel, so he could rule over all mankind. A rebel against God (Gen 10:9), running the world is a worst-case scenario. Satan is trying to rebuild Babel, putting his antichrist in charge of a one-world government (called Babylon). He'll succeed for a short time before Christ destroys it at His Return, and sets up His one world Government. Although many aspects of our natural inheritance & identity are God-given, the great problem is that we also inherit from Adam his identity & nature as a sinner. So, part of our natural identity is that by natural birth, we belong to a fallen race under Divine Judgment, whatever other natural positive qualities we might have. God has a solution for the Fall. Christ came as the 2nd Adam, to be the head of a new human race in Him, the source of a new identity. He came to bring forth a New Creation, a new family in Himself. In His death as the last Adam, He took on Himself all the fallen aspects of our Adamic inheritance of sin & death, and cancelled it, and by His resurrection He brought us into a new inheritance in the New Covenant, the firstborn from the dead of a New Creation, a new species of humanity, with His spiritual DNA. For those who receive Him as Saviour & Lord, He provides a New Birth of our spirit, making us a New Man in Christ. Thru our union with Him, we receive a new nature, identity & origin-history, for we've died & risen with Christ, and now belong to Him. As our 1st (physical) birth in Adam made us an inheritor of Adam, so our new (spiritual) birth in Christ makes us an inheritor of all that's Christ's (John 1:12-13, 3:3-7, Eph 4:23-24). We still have the God-given aspects of our natural identity & inheritance (gender, gifts, personality & nation), but our new identity & inheritance in Christ is far more important & dominant. By our union with Christ, all God's blessings of God are ours in Christ (Rom 8:32, 2Cor 1:20, Eph 1:3). Whoever we are in the natural, the most important truth about us is who we are in Christ (Col 3:9). In this New Creation reality, Christ is all important, and He is in us all. We're all equal in Him. National & natural distinctions still exist, but are overwhelmed by the greater truth of our identity in Christ – we belong to Him, created in His image, in God's family & Kingdom. National distinctions & natural differences count for nothing as far as our inheritance in Christ is concerned (Phil 3:4-7). We're all equal inheritors of salvation & eternal life (Rom 10:12-13). God has no favourites (2Cor 5:14-17). The new overrules and supersedes the old. We don't just have a new individual identity in Christ, but a new corporate identity. We're not just individuals; together we form one New Man in Christ (Eph 2:8-15), His New Creation, one People of God, one Body & Bride of Christ, one forever Family, living stones forming a single Temple of God. We're God's people, redeemed by His Blood (Rev 5:8-10). We have a common origin in His death & resurrection, a common identity in Christ, and a common purpose to live for (glorify) Him who loved us (Gal 3:26-28). We are all ONE (entity) in Christ Jesus (Gal 3:28). As in Adam, we're all of one blood (Acts 17:26), so in Christ, we're of one blood (the Blood of Christ). Being in Christ & His family is our primary (core) identity. Our allegiance to Christ overwhelms all other loyalties, and His command is to love one another. We celebrate our natural & national diversity, but most of all we celebrate our identity & unity in Christ, where God has broken down all racial divisions.

Derek Walker explores the concept of the 'One New Man' and our identity in Christ. Delve into biblical teachings on our natural and spiritual identity, and how our identity is transformed by our spiritual rebirth in Christ, when we became a new creation in Him.

Ep 164 Description:  "The birthing process and the birthing journey is inherently a spiritual experience, and once we have divorced that spiritual aspect from child birthing, that's when we run into a lot of issues." —Zina Grace   Sometimes, the weight of old wounds and silence around sexuality can make it seem impossible to reclaim our sense of power and connection.

In this episode, Jonny and Pastor Jonathan discuss the profound themes found in John 3, particularly focusing on the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus. They explore the necessity of spiritual rebirth, the unconditional love of God, and the transformative role of the Holy Spirit. The discussion highlights the contrast between reliance on works versus faith, and the importance of understanding one's need for salvation. The episode also draws parallels between Nicodemus and the Samaritan woman, emphasizing the universal need for belief in Jesus for eternal life.  

What if the church's greatest fear isn't sin—but your personal empowerment? In this raw, soul-shaking conversation, we explore how yoga, cold plunges, and sacred women's circles are helping people break free from religious fear and finally step into divine embodiment.

Do you or your students ever feel like the Gospel is just too good to be true? In this powerful episode, Doug Edwards shares a redemptive story of faith, transformation, and hope, inspired by the real-life testimony of Phil Robertson (Duck Dynasty). From stories of addiction, family dysfunction, and doubt, to the simple truth of salvation through Jesus. This episode is for anyone who feels like they're “not good enough” for grace. This message is a must-listen for anyone serving in ministry or leading others (especially students) through seasons of doubt and brokenness. Doug dives into Romans 10, spiritual rebirth, imposter syndrome, and what it means to lead others to faith - especially when you feel unqualified.

returns for another mind-expanding conversation—this time diving deep into the nature of consciousness, the evolution of the ego, and how we can stay rooted in peace while the world around us seems to unravel. We explore the idea of consciousness as the mind of God—where love and intelligence are not just forces, but the very fabric of our experience. Shunyamurti challenges the old belief that suffering is necessary for growth and offers a new lens: one where love, awareness, and symbolic perception can unlock deeper levels of spiritual awakening. From decoding life's symbols to becoming conscious dreamers in a reality shaped by our own awareness, this episode is about reimagining what it means to grow spiritually—and how that journey can heighten our senses, clarify our path, and ground us in stillness amidst chaos. We also venture into the paradoxes of free will and destiny, the spiritual significance of this moment in history, and how the ego evolves—or dissolves—on the path to enlightenment. As we discuss the Kali Yuga and the possibility of a new cycle of consciousness, Shunyamurti reminds us: every soul is part of a divine dream, woven from the same eternal love. ------------- Shunyamurti, Divine Consciousness, Spiritual Awakening, Mystical Perception, Sacred Symbolism, The Mind of God, Love as Intelligence, Illusion vs. Reality, Conscious Dreaming, Ego Dissolution, Inner Stillness, Chaos and Clarity, Human vs. Divine Nature, Free Will & Cosmic Design, Spiritual Rebirth, Collective Ascension, The Great Eschaton, Kali Yuga Prophecies, End of the Egoic Age, Transcendent Compassion, Interbeing, Eternal Presence, Soul-Level Truth, Karmic Liberation, Divine Law & Higher Order, Awakening from the Matrix, Modern Madness vs. Sacred Meaning https://www.satyoga.org/

"Born Again: A Life Changing Conversation" - Come and See Series Through the powerful nighttime encounter between Nicodemus and Jesus, we explore what it truly means to be "born again" and why religious knowledge alone isn't enough for salvation. This message reveals four critical insights about authentic faith: • Why intellectual understanding and religious status don't equal true salvation • The difference between seeking Jesus for answers versus seeking Him as Lord • Understanding spiritual transformation versus religious effort • How God's love transforms us from the inside out Key Scripture: John 3:1-15 (https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JHN.3.NIV) This message challenges both seekers and long-time believers to examine their relationship with Jesus. Are we content with head knowledge, or are we allowing Jesus to transform our hearts? Through Nicodemus's story, discover why coming to Jesus requires more than curiosity - it demands surrender and openness to complete spiritual transformation.

Forrest Rivers has become a good friend of mine. So when his publicist sent me an email to have him on the show I jumped at the chance. He is a man who truly sees thing in such a wonderfully rich way. He drops the labels of good and bad, and helps us see every moment as an opportunity to grow, to understand “ourselves” on a deeper level. Yeah, you can imagine why I have love and respect for him. Today we talk about the ways we as a planet can grow through seemingly challenging curcumstances.

The Covid pandemic turned the world upside down, but it paved the way for humanity’s spiritual rebirth. Our guest, author Forrest Rivers, describes how shared experience during difficult times helps us to find greater meaning, understanding, and purpose. He says, if we are tuned in and paying attention, difficult times can help us find meaning and shares stories about how the pandemic empowered people to better themselves. He describes meditation as stilling the mind and opening the heart and tells about his own story of how an alcohol problem led him to exactly the teacher he needed at the time. Forrest shares some of the powerful dreams and visions that have guided him through the years. We end with a discussion of “everyday gurus” and how we can find meaning in life by focusing on gratitude.

The mind liberated from the pressure of the will is unfolded in symbols W.B. YeatsThese days, mindfulness is everywhere. How can engaging with images - with imagination itself - take our awareness deeper and help us connect with something truly transformative? Join our guests Vishvapani and Amitajyoti to explore how a Buddhist perspective on consciousness can help move us towards a life touched more fully by a sense of creativity and freedom.  In this episode, we look at imagination within the framework of Triratna's system of practice, an approach to Buddhism that represents a naturally unfolding process of experience emerging from the dedicated cultivation of awareness and kindness: Integration, meaning embodied awareness. Positive emotion: an open, loving and empathic heart. Spiritual Death: releasing limiting attitudes, and finding a more authentic way of being. Spiritual Rebirth: the realm of imagination that brings an expanded experience of ourselves and opening to a sense of mystery Spiritual Receptivity: resting in the freedom of open, spacious awareness and creative flow Each stage here is a doorway to a more creative realm that we can access whatever our circumstances.  We also evoke the place of nature as intertwined with the life of the imagination. Resonance, empathy, connection with the world around us - with practice, these qualities in experience can be sustained as a flowing, organic, enriching state of being.  The hopeful, practical vision here - the efficacy of cultivating a heart of imagination - can give us the confidence to allow our images, symbols and myths to open us up to new ways of living. Enlightenment is the state of irreversible creativity Urgyen Sangharakshita Show Notes
