A first reading of the Rāsa Līlā might suggest the gopīs' love is selfish, irresponsible, even unethical. But looking closer one can find the highest transcendence attained not through grinding austerity but through love so real and complete that everything else simply fell away. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha arrive at Canto Ten, Chapter Thirty-Three — the Rāsa Dance itself. Krishna expands between each pair of gopīs. The demigods crowd the sky. The gopīs sing, creating sixteen thousand musical ragas. Rādhārāṇī, tired from the dance, places her arm around Krishna's shoulder. His arm carries the fragrance of blue lotus and sandalwood. Her hair stands on end. She kisses his arm. This beautiful scene is what Vyāsadeva was told to meditate on and share with the world.

There are at least three wrong ways to write about heaven, and Brian Zahnd spent his new book carefully avoiding all of them — too sentimental, too sensational, too escapist to bother caring about the world right in front of us.In this conversation, Brian and Michael talk about why heaven isn't a far-off destination but a realm woven through the space between every atom of this one, and why love and wonder might be the most reliable hints we get of its nearness. Brian shares the mystical moment in Rocky Mountain National Park that reshaped his understanding of the incarnation and makes the case that a faith stripped of transcendence eventually collapses into mere politics — however well-intentioned.They also talk about pilgrimage, the discipline of praying written prayers, and why so many people are having real spiritual experiences with no idea where it's safe to talk about them.Brian Zahnd is a pastor of forty-four years and author of Unseen Existences: Of Heaven, Earth, and the Divine Mystery in All Things.Find Brian Zahnd online here.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

Subvert.fm✨ Learn about Atlas Research Group, my new team building sovereign infrastructure for social coherence and collective intelligenceIn the last episode, my conversation with C. Thi Nguyen explored “value capture”: his term for what happens when our scoring systems define what we care about and ultimately our identities. In this episode, we ask what it means to reverse this process — what you might call “value emancipation” — with Andrea Farias (LinkedIn), a Barcelona-based researcher and builder whose guiding mission to is to support the transition to a regenerative civilization aligned with the flows of our planet.Andrea investigates how digital technologies can accelerate this transition, crafting information ecosystems that reimagine knowledge creation and resource allocation. But her path to this life required some serious unlearning and a rocky road out of her prior incarnation as a healthcare tech product strategist.We invite you to ask the same questions she did, and which we ask in this converstion:• When I decouple from the desires I've identified with, what is worth taking their place?• How do we design and adopt technologies from this new, more spacious identity?• How does the local determination of plural value help us restore necessary context to human-scale decision-making?• How do we navigate the tensions between the place-ful realm of community and the placeless realm of global coordination?• Where do we need friction in our digital lives, and how can ecology and bioregionalism inspire visions for a better Web?• What does it mean to be “local to an idea or a narrative” and how does that cyber-locality interface with geographic locality?• Where do we still want abstraction for coordination at scale?Tune in for a deep dialogue on how to care for the processes that actually create life — and what it means to enact regenerative principles to personal and collective health, technology and economy.(Fun fact: although she wasn't at the time of this recording, Andrea is now a member of Atlas Research Group! So we will definitely be doing more together…)Special AnnouncementJoin me at the Weirdosphere online learning platform for “Transcendence in the Age of AI” — where we're hosting an interactive screening of Steven Spielberg's A.I.

What happens when a physicist experiences a moment of transcendence that science cannot explain?Alan Lightman has spent much of his life exploring the mysteries of the universe—from black holes and the nature of time to the fundamental laws that govern reality. A physicist, novelist and longtime professor at MIT, he's fascinated by the transformative power of awe and wonder.In this live conversation recorded at New York's Morgan Library, Lightman reflects on extraordinary encounters in nature—from a startling moment with two ospreys to a solitary night beneath the stars—that shook him to the core and left him feeling as though he had somehow "fallen into infinity." Calling himself a "spiritual materialist," he seeks to bridge the divide between science and religion, between mathematics and art.Can a scientific worldview make room for awe, transcendence, and mystical experience? Lightman says these fleeting moments reveal something essential about being human: our longing to connect with something larger than ourselves.This event at the Morgan Library was co-sponsored by the Nour Foundation as part of our series “Spirituality in the Age of Science: Conversations on God, Transcendence and Mortality.”— Video of Steve's complete conversation with Alan Lightman at Morgan Library: MIT website Books PBS series: "Searching: Our Quest For Meaning in the Age of Science" —0:00 Introduction2:40 The Osprey Encounter9:40 Science And Religion13:30 Scientist And Novelist28:50 The Religious Impulse36:50 Evolution And Consciousness Wonder Cabinet is hosted by Anne Strainchamps and Steve Paulson.

What's going on? Is this a reaction against thin, seeker-friendly evangelicalism? Spiritual nostalgia? Across the Western church, some younger Christians seem to be searching for deeper roots: tradition, transcendence, beauty, liturgy, sacraments and a stronger sense of connection with the historic church.Some evangelicals have become Roman Catholic or even Orthodox. Even a church formerly affiliated with the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC) in the UK has become Orthodox.Orlando Saer, senior pastor of Christ Church Southampton, describes himself as something of a “spiritual mongrel”, shaped by Roman Catholic, high Anglican, low Anglican, independent Baptist and FIEC influences.On sabbatical in Australia, Orlando has been thinking deeply about why Christians are longing for rootedness, transcendence and tradition, and how evangelical leaders should respond.Anglican AidTo find out more about supporting Anglican Aid.

Segment 1 • Dr. Jason Lisle argues that the strongest case for creation isn't fossils or geology—it's something far more fundamental. • If information always comes from a mind, where did the instructions inside DNA originate? • Carbon-14 findings in diamonds and dinosaur remains continue raising uncomfortable questions for deep-time assumptions. Segment 2 • A secular psychotherapist asks a startling question: What if therapy is actually tearing people apart? • Why does every difficult relationship now seem to involve someone who is "toxic," "narcissistic," or "traumatized"? • Todd examines whether modern therapy culture is helping people heal—or teaching them how to stay offended. Segment 3 • Young evangelicals aren't abandoning religion—they're searching for something they believe is missing. • Incense, liturgy, church history, and ancient traditions are attracting a generation raised on seeker-sensitive Christianity. • Were churches so focused on relevance that they accidentally stripped away transcendence? Segment 4 • The answer isn't copying Rome or importing Eastern Orthodoxy into Protestant churches. • What did the Reformers understand about worship, discipleship, and church life that many churches have forgotten? • From catechesis to church history to reverent worship, Todd outlines what may be needed to rebuild depth before more young people leave. ___ Thanks for listening!

“Everything I do is an offering to God - that's the truth.” - Alice ColtranePart of the Dolls Pod mission statement is to spotlight a remarkable woman each episode. That description certainly applies to this week's subject. First she was Alice McLeod, a single Black woman working on the jazz circuit in New York, Paris, and her home city of Detroit. Then she was Alice Coltrane, John's muse and partner in free jazz exploration. After John passed at the height of the Summer of Love, Alice was called first to India, then California on a spiritual journey; establishing her own ashram as Swamini Turiyasangitananda. Pursuing just one of these life paths would be remarkable. In just 69 years, Alice somehow pursued all three; transcending all limitations placed on her, internal and external.

Can transcendence still make philosophical sense after modernity? John Vervaeke speaks with philosopher William Desmond about Platonism as a living tradition, the meaning of strong transcendence, and Desmond's philosophy of the metaxu: the between. The conversation builds from John's proposal that relevance realization and transjectivity are philosophically grounded in Desmond's ontological account of the between. John begins by distinguishing modern psychological accounts of transcendence from the ancient and Platonic sense of strong transcendence. In this stronger sense, transcendence is not merely a better state of mind. It discloses truths that are otherwise unavailable and changes the knower's relation to reality. That claim challenges modern assumptions about flat ontology, the buffered self, representational cognition, and the fact-value split. Desmond responds through Plato. He presents Plato not as a dry theorist of two worlds, but as a philosophical artist of the between: a thinker of mimesis, eros, mania, dialogue, singularity, and participatory transformation. Plato's dialogues are not ornamental containers for arguments; their drama, characters, and dialogical movement are part of the philosophy itself. The later conversation opens into deep memory, imagination, eternity, possibility, God, Daoism, intercultural philosophy, pilgrimage, and the life-world. Desmond and Vervaeke converge on the need to move beyond the view from nowhere and return philosophy to transformative practice, embodied dwelling, and a richer contact with the sources of intelligibility. Key Insights Strong transcendence has epistemological and ontological significance, not only psychological benefit. The metaxu, or between, names a porous relation before, beneath, between, and beyond modern dichotomies. Modernity's fact-value split risks producing default atheism or default nihilism. Participatory knowing offers an alternative to treating cognition as internal representation of an external world. Plato's dialogical form is integral to his philosophy; the drama cannot simply be stripped away to extract arguments. Mimesis involves relation between image and original without collapsing their difference. Eros and mania point to two directions of transcendence: from below upward and from above downward. Deep memory is a source of imagination and ontological depth, not merely storage of past facts. Possibility should not be reduced to logical possibility; living possibility points toward enabling power. Pilgrimage and theoria are linked: philosophical transformation requires being on the way, not merely observing from nowhere.

Russell interviews Adrian Kelly in Northern Ireland about his varied career and ideas on success. Kelly began as a criminal solicitor, then left the profession after the 2009–2010 financial crash and fee cuts, pivoting into a renewable energy wind-turbine business that grew to 30 staff, raised about €20 million, and sold products from China to the US before he departed in 2018. He later moved into consultancy, benefitting from Brexit work via his company Brexit Plan, and during COVID took a nonfiction course that led to his book proposal and Amazon-bestselling book, The Success Complex; he's now completing a master's in performance psychology. They discuss how law shaped his thinking about morality and “true success” as wellbeing, social connection, purpose, and self-transcendence, plus metacognition, stress and recovery, and the book's structure (skills, sustaining, direction).00:00 Introductions01:01 From Law to Wind Power03:56 Brexit Boom and New Direction04:22 Becoming an Author07:27 Law Shaping Success08:51 Morality and Losing Your Way10:53 Defining True Success14:26 Transcendence and Perspective17:44 Metacognition and Blind Spots21:22 Inside The Success Complex24:08 Where to Find Adrian25:07 Closing You can contact us at info@qedod.comResources can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com
Every human being, regardless of background or belief, carries the same deep drive for meaning, connection, and something bigger than themselves. Scientists have studied it, neuroscientists have mapped it in the brain, and every major religion in history has tried to answer it. So what is that longing, and where does it actually lead? This sermon looks at Jesus' conversation with a Samaritan woman in John 4, two people from completely different religions having an honest talk about worship, truth, and what the soul is really thirsty for. Jesus might just be the answer to every question your right brain has been asking.
Brian Zahnd joins me to talk about his new book Unseen Existences — and we get into why modern Western people suffer a kind of spiritual homelessness, how philosophical materialism has convinced us the spiritual world isn't real, and what it looks like to recover a sense that heaven and earth actually overlap. We also dig into the Incarnation as a doorway into mystery, wonder and awe as non-negotiables for living faith, and what it means to hold onto a God who intervenes without turning prayer into a transaction.Brian Zahnd is the founder and lead pastor of Word of Life Church in St. Joseph, Missouri. Known for his theologically informed preaching and his embrace of the deep and long history of the church, Zahnd is a frequent speaker at conferences, universities, and seminaries around the world. As a pastor-theologian, he is the author of numerous titles, including The Wood Between the Worlds, When Everything's on Fire, Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God, A Farewell to Mars, and Beauty Will Save the World.Brian's Book:Unseen ExistencesBrian's Recommendation:Wendell BerryConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Is spiritual awakening pulling you up and out… but not fully grounding you in peace? In this powerful episode of Soul Elevation, Kara Goodwin sits down with Dr Melissa Sophia Joy, founder of Somatic Awakening and Sophia Healing Academy, to explore why embodiment is the missing key in so many healing journeys. Dr Melissa shares her own powerful story of healing severe eczema through emotional and somatic work, and how trauma stored in the body can block spiritual integration. Together, they dive into the difference between transcendence and embodiment, the dangers of spiritual bypassing, and why true awakening requires bringing divine consciousness into the nervous system and physical body. They also explore: ✨ Why humanity's current chaos may be a collective initiation ✨ The difference between up and out awakening and down and in embodiment ✨ Adult consciousness and spiritual sovereignty ✨ How to regulate your nervous system during intense times ✨ The role of divine presence in trauma healing ✨ What quantum awakening really means Dr Melissa also shares about her upcoming programs including Awakening the Quantum Self and the deeper evolution of Sophia Healing Academy. This conversation is grounding, expansive, and deeply reassuring for anyone walking the path of spiritual awakening.

What if the real reason you feel stuck, anxious, or unfulfilled has nothing to do with your biohacking stack and everything to do with which half of your brain you're actually using? In this episode, Host Dave Asprey sits down with Harvard professor and bestselling author Arthur Brooks to reveal the neuroscience of meaning, consciousness, and why your left brain's obsession with optimization is quietly destroying your happiness and human performance. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR - Buy Arthur's new book “The Meaning Of Your Life” at: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/724315/the-meaning-of-your-life-by-arthur-c-brooks/ Arthur Brooks is a professor at both the Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Business School, where he teaches leadership and happiness.

His new book, The Meaning of Your Life: Finding Purpose in an Age of Emptiness, releases March 31, 2026. Brooks is one of the world's foremost experts on the science of human happiness. Dave and Arthur go deep on hemispheric lateralization, the rediscovered neuroscience showing your right brain holds everything that makes life worth living: meaning, mystery, consciousness, and the ineffable experiences that no AI, no nootropic, and no amount of fasting or sleep optimization can manufacture for you. They break down why the depression and anxiety epidemic is really a right-brain deficiency crisis, and why all the supplements, ketosis protocols, and functional medicine hacks in the world won't fix it if you're living entirely in your left hemisphere. This is a rare episode that bridges hard neuroscience with the deepest questions of human existence. Whether you're deep into anti-aging, neuroplasticity training, or Smarter Not Harder living, this conversation will change how you think about what you're actually optimizing for. You'll Learn: Why the mental health crisis is fundamentally a meaning crisis, and what your brain hemispheres have to do with it How technology, AI, and screen culture are suppressing the right hemisphere and wiring you for anxiety The six scientifically backed ways to open your right brain and unlock experiences of real meaning Why self-improvement fails without first understanding the neuroscience of how ideas install in the brain How suffering, handled correctly, is the single most powerful path to consciousness and purpose Why romantic love, beauty, and deep conversation are forms of neurological medicine What Dave's $2.5 million biohacking journey taught him about the limits of optimization The Buddhist physics of suffering: pain times resistance, and how to lower the resistance instead of the pain Thank you to our sponsors! - Danger Coffee | Grab yours at DangerCoffee.com and use code DAVEPOD at checkout for 15% off. - Screenfit | Get your at-home eye training program for 40% off using code DAVE at https://www.screenfit.com/dave. - Join My Low-Oxalate 30-Day Challenge: daveasprey.com/2026-low-ox-reset - Calroy | Go to Calroy.com/DAVE for exclusive discounts on Arterosil HP, Vascanox HP and all Calroy products.Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Episode 3954: Colin Wright explores the many paths to transcendence, from reading and travel to mindfulness, showing how each expands our sense of what's possible and reshapes our understanding of reality. He highlights the balance between seeking awe and appreciating the familiar, revealing how sustainable growth comes from embracing both novelty and stability. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://exilelifestyle.com/transcendence/ Quotes to ponder: "Transcendence is about being uplifted, pulled out of the humdrum, out of the world we can easily perceive around us, exposed to some deeper meaning or truth or set of questions." "The world grows bigger the more we explore, and each newly crested horizon exposes us to a new set of horizons we didn't know existed." "Building your life in such a way that you're exposed to intellectual catalysts makes it more likely that you'll live a life of less certainty, but more wonder." Learn more about your ad choices.
