In the last episode in the True Tales of Enlightenment podcast series, I talk about how we can develop a direct relationship with God through communion with him. Next year I will be launching a new podcast called "Abide In Me - A.I.M" and hope this will help others to seek and find the spiritual connection and wisdom they are seeking.

In this week's podcast I ask, "What's the harm?" We often ask this question when we try to disguise our complacency as decency; yet our apathy has consequences. Click on image to view all resources related to this podcast >>

In this week's podcast, I talk about the difference between New Age spiritualism and being led by the Holy Spirit. I explain how reading the Bible on three different levels: literal, metaphorical and metaphysical, can lead to a deeper and more fulfilling understanding of the scriptures and whether we need a transcendent moral reality to keep us from doing wrong.

In this week's podcast I talk about the nature of and reason for suffering in the world. Is there an answer to this age old question that can help give meaning to our lives? Can spiritual teachings and stories sustain us through our pain? Click on the image to find all resources related to this podcast.

Some call epiphanies, God breaking through. They are the a-ha moments that put us on a different track and bring new information to light. Higher consciousness is accessed through the mind and linked to our intuition, not our emotions. As our feelings are continually triggered, we need to learn how to calm our emotions so the truth can shine through. Click on the image to find all resources related to this podcast.

In this week's podcast I talk about the personal myths we create to comfort us and why these stories need to be examined when new information becomes available. By looking through the lens of both Christian and Buddhist teachings, I ask if subjective truth and morality is enough to keep us stable during times of need? Or do we need objective truths to stand on in order to make sense of the world and our place in it? Click on the image to find all resources related to this podcast.

In this week's podcast I talk about the spiritual discipline of forgiveness and how we can practice this in our lives. Often, we find it difficult to forgive others because they haven't confessed, apologised and atoned for what they have done. The act of confession relieves us of our burdens and cleanses our soul. It helps us to steer clear of the corruption that leads to much of our misfortune. Click on the image to find all resources related to this podcast.

Abraham Maslow coined the term "Jonah Complex" to describe a fear of our own greatness. It refers to the biblical story of Jonah who runs from the purpose that God has laid out for him and ends up in the belly of a whale contemplating his fate and asking for assistance. How many times have you felt as if you were in the belly of the whale? What can we do to stop ourselves sabotaging our own transcendent purpose?

In this week's podcast I ask why self-help is the number one selling genre in literature and why we are so clueless about being human. Our ability to self-sustain dwindles with every piece of advice sought from another. So how can we learn to sustain ourselves in times of need?

In this week's podcast I ask how many of our beliefs are based on conspiracy theories? With the death of, 'sex trafficker for the elites', Jeffrey Epstein many people have been drawn into this conspiratorial way of thinking, in one person's words, "We've all become Alex Jones." It's time we looked more deeply into how the mainstream narratives we believe to be true were initiated and whether conspiracy theories provide the underpinning of many of our most accepted beliefs.

In this week's podcast I ask, Is "love" the answer? Can it save us from psychic attack and manipulation? Will it "beat Trump", as Marianne Williamson has said? Let us remember that love is blind. It does not help us to discern the truth and that is what spirituality is all about. Click on the image to find all resources related to this podcast.

Astrology, Numerology and the Enneagram personality system use archetypes and the vibrational frequency of numbers to determine our character, our strengths and weaknesses, as well as our reason for being here on earth. While this may be difficult to understand logically, if we put reason aside for a moment and engage the right-side of our brain, we will begin to see the importance that words and numbers have on our lives.

In this week's podcast I talk about censorship and intolerance. As this is being normalised and even welcomed by some, we need to be aware of our own reaction to it. Whose ideas are we unwilling to tolerate and why? What new truths are you afraid to accept? Are you willing to take the risk of thinking for yourself?

In this week's podcast I talk about the need to develop our critical thinking capabilities so we can better understand the problems we face - both personally and collectively - and the often well-meaning solutions being offered by politicians and activist groups. Many of these ideas deserve some scrutiny rather than blind acceptance. Thought provoking criticism should not be censored simply because some find it offensive.

In this week's podcast I talk about creativity, intelligence and austism. In the Maori language the word used to describe austism is ‘Takiwātanga’, which translated means "My/his/her own time and space." We still don't understand why austism develops, or have a clear idea of why many austistic people have exceptional creative or academic abilities. Are they able to access different levels of consciousness due to a difference in brain chemistry? Can we learn from people with autism about how to access higher intelligence and creativity?

In this week's podcast I talk about the energy of truth that we can see seeping into so many different areas, bringing light and justice where once there was only corruption and darkness. A new dawn has come and there is no turning back. We have such a supportive and buoyant energy assisting us to become warriors; defenders of truth, protectors of those who need it the most.

As we look at our TVs, computer screens and phones, our consciousness moves into the second dimension and we immediately constrict our view of reality. Lowering our state of consciousness in this way eventually takes it toll and we can begin to feel more anxious and fearful. This perpetual state of fear blocks us from accessing the wisdom and clarity of the higher dimensions. Visit the Resources page or contact me to book a Mentoring session.

In this week's podcast I talk about the benefit of accessing higher dimensional consciousness. Many people like the idea of connecting with aspects of themselves or beings who live in other dimensions, but how does this actually work? Are we living in a huge, multi-layered computer simulation? How does spirituality fit into this model of reality? Visit the Resources Page for access to more resources.

"Every truth has four corners: As a teacher I give you one corner
 and it is for you to find the other three." Confucius As we begin a New Year it's important to reassess, not only our goals, but our premises about life. Are we standing on a solid foundation of truth or a pile of comfortable lies? By reviewing some of the topics from last year using Confucius' four cornered approach, we will can bring balance to our ideas. Visit the Resources Page for access to more resources.

In the last podcast of 2018, I talk in more detail about synchronicity and the nature of real spiritual experiences. Many people believe they can be willed forth through devotion to a Guru, or by following rigorous spiritual exercises; this is the psychology of the seeker based on a desire for enlightenment. However, spirit cares nothing for our human framework of cause and effect, which is why genuine spiritual experiences come out the blue. Visit the Resources page for direct links to more resources.
