All About Soul

Courtney Thomas started on the path of spiritual development as a juvenile inmate, when the words of Jesus "you will do even greater works than I do" caught his eye. Now Courtney is a co-owner of a float spa and salt cave, and a teacher of transcendental meditation.

In this podcast, Courtney shares his story, and his understanding of how a spiritual journey is different from belonging to a religion. We talk about taking responsibility, bearing fruit, and the path to inner peace. We also discuss transcendental meditation — what it is, how it works, and where to find out more.

Exorcism and the demonic is a topic that can either be blown out of proportion, or dismissed completely. Some people see the demonic everywhere, including in the manifestations of our own ego and lack of self-restraint — and some will say belief in the demonic is just a remnant of the old days when we had no modern medicine, or a projection of the ego that refuses to meet the dark side.

And yet, once we have experienced these energies we cannot unsee them.

In this episode (the 13th interview of the season!), I meet an exorcist and a spiritual master of an Eastern animistic tradition. But the questions we discuss are common across all paths of life and spiritual beliefs.

Why do some people suffer from demonic oppression — and others don't? How to distinguish possession from mental illness? And how do we protect ourselves?

I invite you to broaden your understanding of the Akashic Records and think of an Akashic Experience. Beyond a fixed "book of records," let's delve into the world of the imaginal, the language of signs and symbols that is common not just to all humans, but also to plants, animals and even crystals. Let's open the definition of the Akashic Records to mean the Akashic Field. A never-ending field of the Divine mind, where we can receive healing, wisdom, and see the oneness of the Universe.
