What does it take to put a fractured world back together? Philosopher and psychotherapist Mark Vernon joins Evan Rosa to explore William Blake as the great counter-Enlightenment guide for our anxious, divided age. "The world comes to be seen as it truly is, which is infinite, and that can embrace distinction difference as much as similarity and sharing." In this episode with Evan Rosa, Vernon explains how to read William Blake, and reflects on Blake as the most important post-Reformation Christian mystic—a poet, painter, and philosopher offering not just a diagnosis of modern division but the beginnings of an antidote. Together they discuss Newton's long shadow and the withdrawal of inner life; the fragmentation of humanity from itself, nature, and the divine; the marriage of heaven and hell; cleansing the doors of perception; imagination as abundance rather than scarcity; desire rightly ordered; and Blake's Christ, who acts from impulse rather than rule. ——— Episode Highlights "I think he's the most important post-Reformation Christian mystic." "We need these oppositions in order to create the dynamism of life and hence the Marriage of Heaven and Hell." "The task is to align, align with the goods in the melee, and see how that which is seemingly different for you, might have something to offer you." "The world comes to be seen as it truly is, which is infinite, and that can embrace distinction difference as much as similarity and sharing." "The fullness of the love, the fullness of the goods, paradoxically, it can seem, is only revealed when it reaches out to that, which seems to be the opposite of it." ——— About Mark Vernon Mark Vernon is a writer, broadcaster, and psychotherapist with a private practice in London, and a former Anglican priest. His studies began with a physics degree at Durham University, followed by two degrees in theology and a PhD in ancient Greek philosophy from the University of Warwick; he has also worked at the Maudsley Hospital. He contributes to the BBC, the Guardian, and Church Times, and podcasts frequently.

This week's message looked at some common misunderstandings and offered encouragement for keeping the main thing the main thing as we follow Jesus as His disciples. Reframing The Spiritual Journey Zane Witcher

Travel can create new perspectives. There's a growing trend towards wanting to make our getaways not just a relaxing break. A fast track to finding yourself can be to spend time somewhere you've never been.   

To make this unprecedented program, producer Ned Sublette traveled to Mbanza-Kongo, the ancient seat of the Kongo empire located in present-day northern Angola, where he spoke to Dr. Bárbaro Martínez Ruiz, professor of art and art history at Stanford. We'll learn about the simbi, the spirits that Martínez Ruiz describes as “the multiple power of god”; hear Antonio Madiata play the lungoyi-ngoyi, the two-stringed viola of the Kongo court; attend a session of the lumbu, the traditional tribunal of elders; and talk to Pedro Lopes, a nganga mawuko (traditional healer). With C. Daniel Dawson and Angolan composer and musicologist Victor Gama, we'll explore Kongo-Ngola culture in the diaspora – in Brasil, Haiti, Cuba, and more. A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY TO MBANZA-KONGO is supported by a 2012 Knight Luce Fellowship for Reporting on Global Religion. The fellowship is a program of the University of Southern California's Knight Chair in Media and Religion. Originally produced by Ned Sublette in 2012 APWW #651

Who can you become if you dropped your made up limitations? In this episode, Marli is diving deep into your made rules of self-limitation. How often do we put ourselves into a limited, comfortable, predictable box and call it... "This is just who I am." Whether you realize it or not, you have rules about what you think you can handle, what you like, and what you have decided you will or won't do and its unconsciously capping your own expansion... and therefore the life you get to live.But transformation and growth doesn't happen inside the comfort zone. It happens the moment you willingly cross it.Tune in as we explore:How to identify the invisible "identity boxes" and rules you've built around your life and business.The power of doing the exact thing you once said you never would do, and how it instantly shatters your limitations.Why getting uncomfortable is the fast track to identity expansion and unlocking the next level of your life.Marli shares her own story of stepping completely out of her own element, and the profound realization that she had on the other side.It's time to stop letting your past definitions dictate your future capacity. Who could you become if you finally dropped the rules?

Pastor Jeremy challenges the idea that holiness is restrictive; in fact, holiness is one of the keys to living in true freedom! While culture tells us to do whatever feels good, God's way leads to a deeper joy that this world can never provide. The good news is that we don't pursue holiness on our own—God's grace and the power of the Holy Spirit help us become more like Jesus every step of the way.

This session challenges listeners to examine their faith, their commitment to obedience, and their willingness to let God dictate their paths. By examining the legacy of the Thessalonians and the faith of Abraham, we learn what it means to live out faith rather than just profess it.Scripture ReferencesHebrews 6Hebrews 11Hebrews 12Genesis 12Romans 4:20Key PointsThe Calling to Imitate: The early church in Thessalonica was praised for its quick faith and commitment to following the example of the apostles. True faith often begins with imitating the right examples.Faith is Active: The speaker emphasizes that true faith is not passive or merely internal; it is defined by action, risk, and pioneering. It requires an entrepreneurial spirit willing to take a leap and follow God's direction.The Cost of Faith: While God's plan is good, following it often means giving up comfort and facing significant obstacles. The call to obedience is an invitation to lay down our lives, our plans, and our preferences.The Journey of Abraham: Abraham is held up as a prime example of faith because he "believed God's promise." He left everything behind to follow God, though he still experienced moments of doubt and delay.God's Relentless Presence: Even when we are resistant or struggling with unbelief, God is with us and actively leading us. He does not abandon us in our doubts but patiently guides us toward his purposes.ConclusionA robust Christian faith is marked by action, imitation of godly examples, and a radical submission to God's leadership. We are called to leave behind our desire to uniquely innovate and instead confidently step into the paths of obedience marked out for us. As we do this, we reflect the glory of God to the world.Calls to ActionAssess whether your faith is currently active or passive.Identify the examples of faith around you that you are imitating.Examine areas of your life where you might be holding back from fully committing to what God has called you to do.

A Spiritual Journey for the Unconverted - A Critique of Practicing the Way, presented by Barb Gretch and Bob DeWaay. We show that spiritual formation is not a biblical category. We address the spiritual process prescribed by Fuller Seminary and cited in Comer's book. It is appealing to religious consumers but fails to give them what they most need the gospel.

Do you come here often?"He: נעמי חייכה בעדינות, משב רוח קל הביא איתו ניחוח פרחים מהשוק הסמוך.En: Naomi smiled gently, a light breeze bringing with it the scent of flowers from the nearby market.He: "כן," היא ענתה בשקט.En: "Yes," she answered softly.He: "אני נעמי. סבתא שלי לימדה אותי שבכותל מקבלים כוחות חדשים."En: "I'm Naomi. My grandmother taught me that at the Kotel, you gain new strength."He: השיחה ביניהם זרמה בנחת, וכל אחד מהם חש איך המשקל על לבם הופך קל יותר.En: Their conversation flowed easily, and each of them felt how the weight on their hearts became lighter.He: אורי סיפר לנעמי על מסעו הפנימי, על חיפוש אחרי תחושת שייכות.En: Uri told Naomi about his internal journey, his search for a sense of belonging.He: נעמי, בתורה, סיפרה על האובדן שלה ועל הרצון למצוא שלווה.En: Naomi, in turn, spoke about her loss and her desire to find peace.He: המילים פתחו ביניהם גשר של חום ורכות, ושלווה שנשאבה מהכותל יצרה תחושת חיבור חזקה מזו שיכלו לדמיין.En: The words created a bridge of warmth and tenderness between them, and the peace drawn from the Kotel forged a strong connection greater than they could have imagined.He: לאחר שעה ארוכה של דיבור, אורי ונעמי הבינו כי פגשו אחד את השנייה מתוך סקרנות ואומץ.En: After a long hour of talking, Uri and Naomi understood that they had met each other out of curiosity and courage.He: אורי הרגיש סוף סוף שייך, ונעמי הביטה קדימה בתקווה חדשה.En: Uri finally felt like he belonged, and Naomi looked forward with new hope.He: הם החליטו לשמור על קשר, להיות שם זה לזה במסעיהם האישיים.En: They decided to keep in touch, to be there for each other in their personal journeys.He: בסופו של היום, כשנפרדו בדרכם, הכותל עמד ללא שינוי, אך ליבה של נעמי היה קל יותר, ולבו של אורי היה מלא בתובנות חדשות על חיבורים ואהבה.En: By the end of the day, as they parted ways, the Kotel stood unchanged, but Naomi's heart was lighter, and Uri's heart was filled with new insights about connections and love.He: השניים נשארו בקשר, משאירים את הכותל בעיניהם כסמל של תקווה והתחדשות.En: The two remained in contact, keeping the Kotel in their eyes as a symbol of hope and renewal.

Day 141 — The Treasure and the Pearl

In this deeply reflective and transformative talk, Dr. Mufti Abdur-Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera explores the inner dimensions of Hajj beyond its outward rites and rituals. The Unseen Hajj: The Spiritual Journey Beyond the Rituals invites listeners to uncover the hidden meanings, spiritual lessons, and profound states of the heart embedded within every step of the sacred pilgrimage. Drawing upon Qur'anic insights, Prophetic teachings, and centuries of Islamic scholarship, the talk examines how Hajj is not merely a physical journey to Makkah, but a journey of the soul toward sincerity, surrender, humility, and nearness to Allah. From the symbolism of Ihram and Tawaf to the sacrifice of Mina and the standing at Arafah, each ritual becomes a mirror reflecting the believer's inner condition and spiritual aspirations. This inspiring presentation challenges attendees to move beyond performing rituals mechanically and instead experience Hajj as a life-changing process of purification, self-discovery, and renewal. Whether preparing for pilgrimage, reflecting on a past Hajj, or seeking spiritual growth in everyday life, listeners will gain timeless insights into how the essence of Hajj can continue long after the journey ends.

The 5D Academy with Zarathustra explores universal wisdom to foster total freedom from suffering in all areas of your life; health, wealth, love, and self. Each Academy podcast contains valuable insights and takeaways to become the best version of yourself and create an authentic, fulfilling life. Zarathustra transmits 5th Dimensional Quantum frequencies in each episode with transformational tools while discussing different topics to help you maintain this new frequency in your daily life. Zarathustra has created a practical system of transmitting the truth to his audience allowing transformation and freedom from suffering. Spiritual development requires an open heart. It is virtually impossible for a seeker to advance to higher consciousness if they don't love themselves. The belief system which has been ingrained in our cellular memory from childhood that we are not good enough results in a conditioned mind. The conditioned mind holds the false belief that there is something missing in our lives, that we are incomplete, that we need to gain something in order to become happy and whole, which is not true. After a life time of searching, Zarathustra has blended a practical system of Eastern and Western methods and techniques to help the Academy members to free themselves from anxiety, negative thoughts, lack of self-love and self-acceptance and destructive emotional patterns through a systematic way to raise your vibration to 5D Vibrational Frequency, which enables you to live a vibrant life of freedom and happiness. The Key Elements To Freedom: Zarathustra recognizes continuity and consistency are the key elements to freedom. In order to help you achieve your spiritual goals, it's best to have a highly effective spiritual practice, free of dogmas, false beliefs and superstition that helps you raise your vibration to 5D Vibrational Frequency as well as the ability to maintain this newly found higher level of consciousness. This translates to a life filled with inner peace, self-love and happiness which is the goal of every spiritual seeker. New knowledge and benefits are gained with each replay.

Fluent Fiction - Hebrew: Finding Freedom: A Heartfelt Journey in the Negev Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/he/episode/2026-05-13-07-38-20-he Story Transcript:He: במדבר הנגב, השמש זרחה בעדינות על פני אבן החול, וצבעי בוקר רכים צבעו את המקום בשלווה.En: In the Negev Desert, the sun gently shone over the sandstone, and soft morning colors painted the area with tranquility.He: נעם, גבר עם נפש מחפשת וראש מלא מחשבות, הלך עם שירה אל עבר מחנה הריטריט הרוחני.En: Noam, a man with a searching soul and a mind full of thoughts, walked with Shira towards the spiritual retreat camp.He: הוא נשם עמוק, מנסה לשחרר את חששותיו מהבדיקות האחרונות אצל הרופא - אבחנה בלתי צפויה על מצב בלב.En: He took a deep breath, trying to release his worries from the recent doctor's examinations - an unexpected diagnosis concerning his heart condition.He: זה היה רק לפני שבוע שהוא ושירה קיבלו את החדשות.En: It was only a week ago that he and Shira received the news.He: עכשיו, הם קיוו למצוא שלווה וקצת נחמה במדבר.En: Now, they hoped to find peace and some comfort in the desert.He: אווירת הפסחא ושקט המדבר הארצי היו מושלמים למען מדיטציה.En: The atmosphere of the Pesach and the earthly silence of the desert were perfect for meditation.He: על אף ששירה תמכה בו בכל מה שקרה, עמוק פנימה היא הרגישה את הפחד, אך היא נשארה חזקה, תחת מעטה של נחישות, למען נעם.En: Even though Shira supported him with everything that happened, deep inside she felt the fear, yet she remained strong, wrapped in a cloak of determination, for Noam's sake.He: במהלך היום הראשון במחנה, הם השתתפו בהרצאות ושיחות שהציעו כלים למצוא שלווה פנימית.En: During the first day at the camp, they participated in lectures and discussions offering tools to find inner peace.He: אך נעם התקשה להתרכז.En: But Noam struggled to concentrate.He: כל מה שהוא חשב עליו היה העתיד שלו ושל שירה, והאם החלום המשותף שלהם להשלים את המסע הזה יוכל להימשך.En: All he could think about was his and Shira's future, and whether their shared dream to complete this journey could continue.He: בערב, לקראת חגיגות ל"ג בעומר, כולם סביב המדורה ושרו שירים.En: In the evening, toward the Lag BaOmer celebrations, everyone gathered around the campfire and sang songs.He: אז, ברגע של גשמכי שלום, בעוד השמים התמלאו בכוכבים והאש קרנה חום מבריק, הוא הרגיש משהו משתנה.En: Then, in a moment of transcendent peace, while the sky filled with stars and the fire radiated brilliant warmth, he felt something change.He: במהלך המדיטציה הקבוצתית סביב המדורה, יושב לצידה של שירה והאש מרצדת, נעם חש זרם של חום בתוכו.En: During the group meditation around the campfire, sitting next to Shira and the fire flickering, Noam felt a stream of warmth within him.He: בו ברגע, היה לו רגע של בהירות.En: At that moment, he experienced clarity.He: פתאום, כל הדאגות שלו נדחקו והוחלפו בתחושה של קבלה.En: Suddenly, all his worries were pushed aside and replaced with a sense of acceptance.He: הערב ההוא היה נקודת מפנה.En: That evening was a turning point.He: נעם קם בבוקר עם תחושת תחדשות.En: Noam woke up the next morning with a sense of renewal.He: הוא הבין שהמצב החדש שלו לא אומר סוף לחלומות שלו ושל שירה.En: He realized that his new condition did not mean the end of his and Shira's dreams.He: יחד הם תכננו את הדרך קדימה, עם תקווה בלב ומחשבה פתוחה, לגבור על כל הקשיים.En: Together, they planned the way forward, with hope in their hearts and open minds, to overcome any challenges.He: השמש המשיכה לזרוח על המדבר, בדיוק כפי שהייתה כשהגיעו.En: The sun continued to rise over the desert, just as it had when they arrived.He: נעם ושירה חזרו לעולם עם תובנה חדשה, להרהר בדרך שצפויה להם, לא עוד כבעיה שיש להיאבק בה, אלא כהרפתקה שיש לחוות.En: Noam and Shira returned to the world with newfound insight, to reflect on the path ahead of them, no longer as a problem to fight, but as an adventure to experience.He: הם ידעו שכעת, לא משנה מה יקרה, הם יוכלו יחד לרקוד סביב אש החיים, עם אומץ בלב ורוח חופשיה בראש.En: They knew that now, no matter what happens, they could dance together around the fire of life, with courage in their hearts and a free spirit in their minds.He: כך, במדבר הנגב הגדול והריק שלכאורה, מצאו את הדרור הפנימי.En: Thus, in the seemingly vast and empty Negev Desert, they found their inner freedom.

The 5D Academy with Zarathustra explores universal wisdom to foster total freedom from suffering in all areas of your life; health, wealth, love, and self. Each Academy podcast contains valuable insights and takeaways to become the best version of yourself and create an authentic, fulfilling life. Zarathustra transmits 5th Dimensional Quantum frequencies in each episode with transformational tools while discussing different topics to help you maintain this new frequency in your daily life. Zarathustra has created a practical system of transmitting the truth to his audience allowing transformation and freedom from suffering. Spiritual development requires an open heart. It is virtually impossible for a seeker to advance to higher consciousness if they don't love themselves. The belief system which has been ingrained in our cellular memory from childhood that we are not good enough results in a conditioned mind. The conditioned mind holds the false belief that there is something missing in our lives, that we are incomplete, that we need to gain something in order to become happy and whole, which is not true. After a life time of searching, Zarathustra has blended a practical system of Eastern and Western methods and techniques to help the Academy members to free themselves from anxiety, negative thoughts, lack of self-love and self-acceptance and destructive emotional patterns through a systematic way to raise your vibration to 5D Vibrational Frequency, which enables you to live a vibrant life of freedom and happiness. The Key Elements To Freedom: Zarathustra recognizes continuity and consistency are the key elements to freedom. In order to help you achieve your spiritual goals, it's best to have a highly effective spiritual practice, free of dogmas, false beliefs and superstition that helps you raise your vibration to 5D Vibrational Frequency as well as the ability to maintain this newly found higher level of consciousness. This translates to a life filled with inner peace, self-love and happiness which is the goal of every spiritual seeker. New knowledge and benefits are gained with each replay.

Have you ever felt like you had to keep your spiritual beliefs a secret? Like admitting what you truly believe would cost you friendships, family dinners, or your reputation at work? You're not alone, and this episode is for you.Will and Karen sit down with Jenn Bierma, an intuitive massage therapist, medium, author, and podcast host who made a bold leap from the spiritually open culture of Minnesota straight into the heart of Oklahoma's Bible Belt. What she discovered there... and how she navigated it... will make you rethink everything about what it means to walk your truth out loud.Jenn shares why she spent years using massage therapy as a "cover" for her gifts, how she learned to bring people into her world by meeting them in theirs first, and what finally gave her the courage to stop hiding. She also opens up about her personal relationship with Jesus, and how that relationship looks nothing like the religion she was warned to fear as a child.The conversation goes deep fast. We talk about the difference between fearing judgment from others and judging yourself, why poor spiritual boundaries usually mirror poor personal boundaries, why Jenn chose not to offer traditional mediumship readings despite being a gifted medium, and the extraordinary story of how a spirit at a networking event led to her publishing her first book.If you've ever dimmed your light to make someone else comfortable, this episode is a reminder that the world needs exactly what you've been hiding.In This Episode:How Jenn adapted her spiritual practice to life in the Bible Belt without compromising who she isWhy "coming out of the spiritual closet" starts with the conversation inside your own headJenn's relationship with Jesus as a guide, not a gatekeeperThe trauma she processed in eight hours of meditation that finally freed her bookWhy she teaches clients to connect with their own guides instead of relying on herThe one question Jenn always starts with before entering anyone's energy fieldConnect with Jenn Erma:Website: https://rejennerationwellness.com/Book: A Life Lived Medium: A Psychic's Journey From Fearful to Almost FearlessThe Skeptic Metaphysicians is a spiritual awakening podcast for open-minded thinkers who refuse to check their critical thinking at the door.

You are not your thoughts, emotions, or experiences—you are the consciousness that is aware of them. Spiritual growth is the process of ceasing to be distracted by all the inner commotion and learning to let go of the stored blockages that keep you identified with the personal self. When you release these blockages, consciousness naturally expands back into the state of freedom, peace, and unity. © Sounds True Inc. Episodes: © 2026 Michael A. Singer. All Rights Reserved.
