Authentic Living

There has been much said over the past several years, particular among teachers of spirituality, about so-called “negative” feelings. Most of what we hear tells us that we should be thinking and feeling “positive” thoughts and feelings. Some offer us dire warnings that if we have these negative feelings we are going to attract “negative” events and relationships into our lives. Still others have told us that if we have so-called “negative” events in our lives, we must have attracted them through our “negative” thoughts and feelings. The question to be asked here is this: If we are gifted with a range of feelings that include on one end of the continuum, joy and on the other, pain, then what is the purpose of these feelings? Today we are going to talk about the purpose of emotions. We will look for and find their divine purpose. Don’t miss this one.

In our third week of our Countdown to Heaven, we are talking to Bruce Lipton, bestselling author of The Biology of Belief about his latest book, The Honeymoon Effect: The Science of Creating Heaven on Earth. We all understand either the actuality of the honeymoon effect, or the dream of it. But most of us see it as temporary—because we have to get back to “real life.” The Honeymoon Effect is a state of bliss, passion, energy and health resulting from huge love. But we cannot imagine that we can have that on a regular basis. But Lipton tells us that the Honeymoon Effect is not a chance event that happened to us because the right circumstances collided, but rather it is a personal creation. In fact, he tells us that love is the most potent growth factor for human beings. How can we manifest this heaven on earth? Tune it to find out—and to hear the clip from Oprah’s upcoming Super Soul Sunday. Don’t miss it.

Alright, so we’ve heard that it’s possible for a person to experience heaven right here on earth, but how? How does a person stand fully inside him or her Self and live from that central organizing essence? Well, it’s a process. And this week we are going to talk about some specific case studies, that demonstrate how we can do this. Do we have to have a Near Death Experience? Do we have to have some major life changing transformational event? Do we have to meditate for hours and hours every day? Do we have to exclude all so-called negative thinking from our minds? Do we have to become an ascetic or a Guru? Don’t miss today’s show. We are going to talk about all the things you do and don’t “have to do” to inhabit heaven NOW.

What does it mean to have power? Where in our lives can we find it, where in our bodies and our minds? Do we know we have power when others cater to our needs and desires? Are we powerful finally when we are famous? What do we do with power and how do we do it? Today we are going to answer some of those questions in an interview with Rev. Raymont Anderson. Raymont is Holistic Transformational Life Coach, an Interfaith/Interspiritual and New Thought Minister. He is the founder and Senior player in three different organizations: B.E.L.I.E.V.E an American Sign Language Theatrical Performance Company, the Guang Dian Feng-Huang school of martial arts; and the Center for Living the Sacred: P.H.O.E.N.I.X. He is a Reiki Master and the author of Visual Music: Interpreting Songs in American Sign Language and Moving Mountains: The Journey of Transformation. He comes to us this week to talk to us about the power that is inherently ours. Don’t miss it.

Here we are again at another new beginning. At least it is one that most of us recognize as a new beginning. The problem, however, with new beginnings is that we think we have to throw out the old to have the new. We think of it in very black and white, purist terms. But what if you knew that you didn’t have to eliminate anything to have something new? Things don’t die when new things are born. Rather things are integrated when new things are born. But what does this mean? What does it mean to integrate something old to find something new? Aren’t we just supposed to think of something we want, stop thinking negative and start thinking positive as we work toward our new goals? Well here it is the 8th of January. Is that still working for you a little over a week into the New Year? What is the difference between a drive to a new goal, and a drive that comes from integrated material? Today we are going to learn how to begin again. Be here—you don’t want to miss this.

…how would we manage our behavior? Won’t we just fall apart? Become the evil we always suspected we were? How will we keep ourselves from hurting others, from sabotaging ourselves, from being unkind, unloving, uncertain…from becoming the worst we imagine of ourselves? Won’t we need something else, like guilt or remorse, or fear to keep us in line? Well, what if you knew that there was someone living deep inside of you who operated out of compassion and passion and who, without the external onus of morality, can guide us? What if that person has always been living inside of you trying to get out? What if, in fact, it is the most genuine you of you, the most real aspect of you? If that were true, if that truth became apparent to you, what would you do? This week, we are going to decide together whether or not this is true, and if it is, what we can do about it. AND we are going to listen to a clip from the next Super Soul Sunday.

We live in a world where failure occurs every day. Where we fail, others fail us, and life itself seems to fail. We live in a world in which we may pray for salvation, for sustenance, for safety and security, for love and relationship, but our prayers seem to fail at the doors to the gods. And what about God—has the Western version of God failed to bring about good results from his judgment, his mercy and his love? It seems to be everywhere. But what if it were actually possible that there is no failure—not one failed life, anywhere, anytime? Well, that would be heaven—wouldn’t it? We’d have everything we ever wanted, we’d never make a mistake or fail at anything. Well, that’s not exactly what it means, but on today’s show, our last in the Countdown to Heaven series, we are going to find out what it does mean—and what that has to do with Inhabiting Heaven NOW. And we are going to hear the next clip for Oprah’s upcoming Super Soul Sunday. Talk to you then.

If we really can live in heaven here on earth, where is it? Where do we find that illusive peace and bliss for which we so long? And where do we even find the door to such a place, much less build a home there? Heaven has been hidden in the unconscious, so it is there that we must travel to find it. But the point of the unconscious is to keep hidden in safety what we are not ready to approach. Yet the unconscious is also the origin of all that we have already become. Every conscious aspect was once unconscious and evolved into conscious experience through an encounter with unconscious material. And that is how we begin the process of finding heaven on earth. We receive it into conscious experience and embrace it. This show is going to open our awareness as to how we can begin to work with the unconscious instead of against it, bringing us ultimately to our own internal home in heaven. And we’ll hear another clip from Oprah’s upcoming Super Soul Sunday. Don’t miss it.

When we consider the possibility that we can inhabit heaven here on earth, the first thing we typically think of is bliss. When we think of a heaven which can only be inhabited after we die—we also think of bliss—the comfort and joy of meeting again with those loved ones we’ve lost. So, either way heaven must be bliss, right? So, if we can have heaven on earth, this means that we will have everything we want, right? There will be no unmet needs and all of our relationship, financial, parenting and other concerns must be blissful, right? Nah. There can’t be heaven on earth, because no one gets all of that. So, what can it possibly mean to have heaven on earth? On this show, another in our Countdown to Heaven, we are going to talk about bliss and how we can access and maintain it as we experience heaven on earth. And we are going to hear another clip from Oprah’s upcoming Super Soul Sunday. You don’t want to miss this one.

One of our master teachers in the fine art of tuning in is Sonia Choquette. And she is here with us this week to talk to us about that very subject. Sonia is the author of 19 international bestselling books on intuitive awakening, personal growth, creativity, and transformational leadership including the New York Times bestseller “The Answer is Simple.” An expert on the six senses, she is inspiring a global movement to raise our consciousness to the truth that “we, as humans are Divine beings endowed with six senses to guide us through life.” She insists that in order to make the most authentic, well-informed, healthy, and soul satisfying decisions possible, we must learn use our innate sixth sense. Today we are going to learn how we may tune in, as she talks about her latest book, “Tune In: Let Your Intuition Guide you to Fulfillment and Flow.” Be here for this opportunity to learn how to tune in and don’t miss this week’s clip of Oprah’s upcoming Super Soul Sunday.

Many of our New Thought or New Age or Human Potential Movement leaders are telling us that it is ego that keeps us from inhabiting heaven NOW. Others are telling us that it is fear. And still others are telling us that it is our thoughts. Traditional Western religions tell us that we are not inhabiting heaven now, because that is an impossibility. Heaven is a place far away from earth in some rarefied atmosphere of holiness to which only those who have become worthy of it, through the right rituals, prayers or actions, arrive—and only after death. Many Eastern religions tell us that we arrive at something similar to heaven only after many lifetimes in which we finish our karmic challenges and no longer have to return to planet earth. But if heaven can be experienced right here on planet earth, why aren’t we experiencing it? This show is going to tell us why. Plus we are going to hear the clip from the next Super Soul Sunday. So be here. You don’t want to miss this.

The simple fact of life is that we cannot have true change, lasting change without doing the deep work. Our guest today, Dr. Richard Moss, is here to tell us about how we can become the most balanced, awake, alive and loving persons we can be. We all talk about having wholeness, but we often look for the quick fixes, even in our spirituality. It takes real work, real psychological and spiritual work to have the kind of transformation we seek. According to Moss this kind of transformation is about growing emotionally, psychologically and spiritually to a life in which we have made peace with the past and embraced the shadow. This kind of work gives us an experience of the sacred and brings us into the now. So, today, from one of America’s wisest spiritual guides we are going get a glimpse of the work and the outcome of that work. And we’ll also hear the clip of Oprah’s next Super Soul Sunday. This is but one more step in our countdown to Heaven series. Be here for it.

This show begins a series of shows in which we will start the countdown to Heaven—which will occur on December 13th of this year. Yes, that’s right. December 13th is Heaven’s coming out party on earth. On that day, the book, Inhabiting Heaven NOW: The Answer to Every Moral Dilemma Ever Posed, will be released, and the next phase of our spiritual evolution will begin. That next phase begins as we see that even the Bible informs us of our divine essence. But instead of being that essence, we strive for a kind of external “righteousness” that has nothing to do with who we are. Until we can answer the question, “Who would I be without my morals” with “I would be the divine being I AM,” we will stay stuck circling around the same dualities, the same moral/immoral issues, never evolving to that peace for which we so long. So, come join the countdown to heaven. Not only will we begin the celebration, but we will begin the next phase of our evolution.

Partners cheating on partners, friends gossiping about your most vulnerable and private information, paparazzi endangering lives to get that hot shot, parents betraying the bond of parenthood in a multitude of ways. These and other betrayals run rampant throughout our culture. In the face of this, it is even practical to invest in a relationship? After we’ve been so betrayed, how do we go about building enough trust within ourselves to make certain that we do not get betrayed again? How do we know who to trust? Where do we go to find trustworthy people? These and more questions are frequently on the minds of a majority of people at at least some point in their lives. Well, along with hearing another clip from Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday, we are going to talk about this issue of trust, what it is, what it isn’t and how to build trusted relationships. If you worry about who you can trust, how to trust, or if you are the betrayer in a relationship, this show is for you. Don’t miss it.

Most of us have been taught that fear is a problem to be overcome. Especially in the some of the spiritual community, fear is basically the F-word. It is the enemy. It keeps us from having what we want. It makes us live from what’s called the “lower self” rather than the so-called “higher self.” But fear, like all of our other emotions, just has a message to deliver. And in some cases that message can literally save our lives. Beyond that it can also be a warning bell, a determiner of the next step, an informational email to allow us into our shadow material—and therefore a consciousness raiser. Fear is our friend, and the more we try to send it away, the less we are able to really live an authentic life. What we fear the most, however, is that when we become conscious of our fear, it will begin to dominate our behaviors. So, how do we deal with fear effectively? The answer to this question will bring us to the next phase of our spiritual development as a species. Don’t miss this.

If we want to know the biggest barrier to our authenticity we can look to the hypnotic scripts we learned as we were growing up. But paradoxically, it is these same scripts that are the anvil upon which we hammer out the designs for an authentic life. We actually grew up in a hypnotic trance state in which the organizing center of our existence became the messages we received from primary relationships. In other words, we lost our center. These hypnotic scripts told us who to be and how to be it. And we did it and did it and did it until the day came when doing it became more painful than not doing it. That’s when we began to ask some of the right questions—like who am I really? But that particular trance is our gauntlet. No one else’s trance state will ultimately be broken so that we can become who we are. But until it is broken we will not come alive. Tune in to learn why you do what you do, why you are attracted to your relationships and how you can become your truest Self.

What is it really like to hear from the Universe or the divine? What can we look for in terms of knowing when it is a communique from the Universe? How do we determine the difference between a message from the divine and a message from our own confused emotions? Simran Singh comes to us today with a clear mastery of universal law and divine principle that reveals the soulful wisdom behind these communications. Simran considers herself to be a rebel humanitarian in the realms of metaphysics and spirituality. She is the award-winning publisher of 11:11 Magazines and hosts her own show on Voice America and the Rebel Road TV. She left an 18 year arranged marriage, let go of everything to dive into the unknown without a plan, no desire to control it and no structure. And now she’s the author of Your Journey to Enlightenment and Conversations with the Universe—our topic today. You are not going to want to miss this one.

Somewhere along the way, those of us in the New Thought world—who don’t really believe in a devil or “his” purposes—transposed the face of that demonic force onto the ego. The ego is now considered to be the enemy—one that can possess us. When we are so possessed—it is thought—we think and feel so-called “negative” thoughts and feelings, and we act out negative behaviors. So, it seems we’ve changed the language a bit, but it’s still the same old scenario. And this evil force is not now, as it once was, projected out onto an external super-entity called the devil or Satan, but it is now living inside of us. Well, we’ve already talked about how the ego is really just a liaison between the inner and outer worlds, but now, what we need to talk about is what is really inside of us. What is the range of our existence? What can we do with those difficult parts of ourselves that seem to grab hold of us and refuse to let go until we behave out of them? Don’t miss this one.
