How do we know who to follow? Too often we choose our leaders because they appeal to an unmet need rather than because they are true leaders and we end up used, abused and even, in some cases, dead. Unfortunately there are still too many of us willing to fall into line behind the others ahead of us, without ever questioning why. We see this in politics, with the current propaganda of fear encouraging followers to line up to vote their fear. We see it in religions that respond to their members with control rather than compassion. We see it in the false prophet, or charlatan who tells us who to be instead of encouraging our own self-exploration. How do we recognize these false prophets? And even if it's not a false prophet or a charlatan, how do we know if a teacher is teaching us something that isn't really true, or isn't true for us? This show is intended to boldly enable us to choose our leaders wisely. You are not going to want to miss this one.

One of the places in our lives where we are least encouraged to be true to our own authenticity is at work. In fact, people who are honest and forthright at work are often considered to be naïve or even self-destructive. So, how can we be authentic and yet protect ourselves from the sharks that are always circling the waters? Authenticity doesn't mean that you lose your wisdom, give away information that needs to be kept private or even sacred, or allow people to walk on you or take advantage of you. Rather it means that you make the rather radical shift of taking integral responsibility for your days, hours, and minutes at work. Authentic Leadership is one of the areas of Corporate Training that Andrea offers on a consultative as well as training level. We all know, however, that it's really bloody at the top, so how does one become an Authentic Leader? If you are having trouble at work or even if you'd like to prepare for the trouble that is inevitable at work, don't miss this show.

Many of us have heard of terms like "the Book of Life" generally associated with some kind of eternal library that records our secret, shameful deeds, or even our more overt shameful deeds. But according to Linda Howe, our guest for today, the Akashic Records, also known as the Book of Life are filled with wisdom and energy that are inspirational and supportive for making the fundamental shift from self-reliance to Divine reliance. In other words they are a resource rather than a book filled with all of our bad deeds. Nor do they favor any particular religion, nor are they meant to help us tell our fortunes or manipulate outcomes. Linda is the author of How to Read the Akashic Records, and of Healing through the Akashic Records, and we are going to be talking to her today about how we may access these records and how to use their amazing powers. So if you want access to this resource, tune in, this show is for you.

We talk about Oneness a lot. In fact, even in some circles where New Age/New Thought has not pervaded, there is mention from time to time about this idea that we are all one. But how do we bring Oneness into every living experience? Well, our guest today has come to tell us how to do just that. She is Charlene Proctor, PhD, an ordained minister of Spiritual Peacemaking and a deeksha facilitator trained by the Oneness guides from Fiji and India. She's the bestselling author of three books, including Let Your Goddess Grow!, The Woman's Book of Empowerment, and the topic of today's show, The Oneness Gospel: Birthing the Christ Consciousness and Divine Human in YOU. Charlene is comfortable bridging the gaps between all of the various world religions. So, it doesn't matter what your flavor is, if you'd like to know how to embrace Oneness in your daily experience, don't miss this show.

We tend to think of wisdom in terms that are rather other-worldly. We tend to think that those who are wise are either those who have been taught by a guru or they are the guru. But really, even the guru will tell us that wisdom isn't taught. It's received. And it isn't received from any external teaching. It's received from some deep resonance within us. So what is the process of attaining wisdom? People speak frequently about "lessons" we are getting in life, through the school of hard knocks and other like schools. But all too often the lessons we learn have to do with how to survive better, how to become better people or how to win friends and influence people. Sometimes the lessons have to do with enjoying life more. But is that wisdom? What is wisdom then? Is it a mood of bliss? A higher self? And once we know what it is, will we still want it? If so, how will we get it? These questions and more will be answered on this week's show. Don't miss it!

Unfortunately, many of us are trying desperately to avoid having to really participate in the experience of living here on this planet, through many different means. In so doing we miss the growth experience—something our guest today calls "Earth School." She tells us that our emotions are leading us back to earth school—where we will learn more about life, about ourselves and about spirituality. Carol Kline is far from unfamiliar with radio and TV having served as a reporter and TV and radio anchor both in Japan and in America, even receiving awards as the top female anchor in her area. Today she has her own radio show and she facilitates workshops and offers life coaching and has authored the book "Streetwise Spirituality: 28 Days to Inner Fitness & Everyday Enlightenment," the subject of our discussion today. Sometimes our spiritual teachings are so ethereal that we can't get grounded. Today, we are going to get grounded. Don't miss it.

What is reality? Many teach that the goings-on of this world are but an illusion and anyone who pays much attention to it is going to end up losing his or her peace. Others teach that Satan is the ruler of this world and we should have a higher standard than that of the so-called "world" for ourselves. But what is it really to live in this world? How is it that we came to split ourselves off from it as if it had only an evil or negative pull against our efforts to attain heaven or a higher self? What is real? And what is illusion? There are so many of us who allow others to answer those questions for us, instead of seeking our own answers—and that's both in the New Age/New Thought world and that of the fundamentalist, as well as those from Eastern religions. We are all too willing to follow the leader . Well this show is meant to facilitate the exploration of life from your own personal perspective, so that you might answer your own questions. Don't miss it.

There is so much said today about "being yourself" that we get really confused about who that really is. We bat around the word "hardwired" when we speak of being ourselves, as if we are more or less doomed to repeat this same dysfunctional patterns in our lives. But today we are talking with Dr. Joe Dispenza, author of the books, Evolve Your Brain: The Science of Changing Your Mind, and the topic of today's discussion, Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One. He tells us that a new science is emerging that empowers us to create the reality we choose. Not only that, he tells us that we can move from the old habituated me, to the real self. Today he'll provide us with a few tools we can apply in order to make those changes necessary to creating our own lives. You are not going to want to miss this one.

What does it mean to live the mystic's life? Many say that the mystic is always kind, loving, and positive, even self-sacrificing. But these things do not represent the mystic's journey. The mystic's journey is an inward journey, one that might surprise us with its fierce and persistent longing to serve every single aspect of self as if it were a starving child. We tend to believe that those who are on the mystic's journey are going to be saints in every sense of that word. But we might be surprised to learn who in our world is actually on the mystic's journey, for it is done so silently that it might not even be noticeable. In fact, it turns out that the mystic's journey doesn't really have anything whatsoever to do with terms we know as "good" and "bad," "morality" and "ethics." It is unsettling in its depth, and utter peace in its essence. Want to learn about the mystic's journey. Don't miss this show.

The word destiny gets thrown about quite a bit both in and out of the New Age/New Thought worlds. When we meet that special soulmate we tend to think it was fated. And we tend to think that destiny is a done deal that it is what it is and there's not much we can do to stop it from happening. And yet in our typically duplicitous way of thinking we also believe that if we work hard we can create the life we want. So, which is true? And what has astrology got to do with destiny? Is an astrological chart a map of one's fate? Or is it just bunk? We go to psychics and we want them to tell us will we meet our soulmate, will we get that job, will we have that money. But are they telling us our destiny? Or is it just bunk? What is true and what is false about destiny? What is true and what is false about astrology and what it has to say about destiny?
