“Reflections on the Epiphany and At One Ment ”

In this special episode, we explore the profound meaning of Epiphany and its invitation to align ourselves with the divine. Drawing on rich spiritual traditions, sacred texts, and symbolism, we uncover how Epiphany represents not just the revelation of Christ but also a call for each of us to embrace our own sacred journey. Through the lens of the Yoga of Christ and yoking—a concept symbolizing partnership and unity—we discuss ways to deepen our connection with the Divine and embody the wisdom, light, and purpose revealed during this holy season. Join us for a heartfelt conversation about faith, reflection, and sacred alignment.

Title: “Becoming the Beloved: Mary, Christ, and the Divine Invitation”

In this episode, we explore the intimate and transformative relationship between Mary, Heavenly Father, and Christ, reflecting on teachings of past LDS Leaders about Jesus’ conception and the profound symbolism it offers. We weave this with insights into the soul’s journey to become the Beloved of God, embracing the divine invitation to experience love as a living, healing reality.

I take a deep dive into the elements of the Christmas story—Mary’s role as a vessel for divinity, Joseph’s partnership, the Nativity, the shepherds, the Wise Men, and even the manger—and explore their mystical meanings. Each piece of the story becomes a symbol of spiritual rebirth, divine partnership, and the invitation for us to embody sacred love and fertile transformation.

By reclaiming the mystical depth of these well-known narratives, this episode invites listeners to see their lives reflected in the Christmas story and to experience their own divine call to become the Beloved of God.

In this episode of Embracing Sacred Cycles, we light the Candle of Love and reflect on the often-overlooked men of the Advent story: Joseph, the humble protector; Zechariah, the hopeful witness; and the innkeeper, whose simple offering made room for the divine.

Drawing from the Protevangelium of James, the King James Bible, and Islamic tradition, we explore:

•The miraculous provision of fruits out of season to Mary under Zechariah’s care, inspiring his faith and hope.

•Joseph’s quiet strength, trust, and divine witness as he accepts his role in this sacred story.

•The symbolic meaning of the innkeeper’s humble stable and the timeless question: Do we make room for holiness in our crowded lives?

We also examine the journey to Bethlehem—both historical and spiritual—reflecting on Bethlehem as the House of Bread and Jesus as the Bread of Life. As we ponder the lyrics from “Let Him In”—“Let Him in… let the stranger in…”—we are invited to reflect on our own hearts: Where am I being called to trust, to hope, and to make space for the divine?

This episode is a journey of trust, humility, and love—reminding us that the divine often arrives in unexpected places and through unexpected people.
