  • Exploring Genocide Through the Heart's Lens
    How do you feel about Genocide? How do we love those who murder millions of souls? Or would you rather continue to hate them? How well has that worked for you and for humanity? Can we have compassion for those who have been murdered simply because they were Armenian (Turks), Ukrainian (Stalin), Chinese (Japan), Jewish (Hitler), Croatian/Serbian, Rwandan, Syrian, Palestinian? We want to experience that this falls into the unfathomable realm of Karma - it is beyond the realm of our mind's understanding. Our best strategy is to see with the eyes of the Heart while we live according to the Dharma of our times ... which is to protect and resist that which is not Dharma, or right action.

  • Overcoming the Three Temptations to find our purpose in life.
    To finish the series on the Kingdom of Heaven parables, Steven Winn points out that Jesus could not begin his ministry until he had overcome the Three Temptations. These deep desires - wanting to be loved and respected, wanting power or control, and wanting to be safe and secure - are the operating principles of our mind and ego. They are part of us, and not our enemy. Using willpower to change them is pointless; only love will draw them in and tame them so we can fulfill our Divine Plan.

  • Exploring the Kingdom Within: The Cloud of Virtue
    In this session, Steven Winn delves into the parables of the Kingdom of Heaven, emphasizing their teachings on enlightenment and inner wisdom. Drawing from biblical passages, he highlights the notion that the Kingdom is not a distant realm but resides within each of us. Some of the Kingdom of Heaven parables sound like we become enlightened by virtuous behavior. Is enlightenment the state of permanent transcendence, or must it also include the Divine Qualities of our Hearts?

  • The Kingdom of Heaven: Religious Fundamentalism and Mysticism in the Parables of Jesus

    In this episode of Healing the Heart, Stephen Winn continues his exploration of the Kingdom of Heaven as described in the parables of Jesus. Framing the Kingdom of Heaven as a metaphor for enlightenment and inner transformation, Stephen reflects on how these teachings guide both spiritual awakening and moral living. He unpacks the lesser-discussed "end of time" parables—like the dragnet and the separation of the wheat from the chaff—and examines their relevance to our inner lives.

    The discussion bridges the worlds of religious fundamentalism and mysticism, highlighting how moral codes and spiritual laws serve as practical tools for growth, while also pointing beyond themselves to the deeper realization that the Kingdom of Heaven is within. Stephen also reflects on the role of the "scribe" as one who integrates both old and new wisdom on the spiritual path.

    Join us for this thoughtful conversation and a guided meditation to deepen your own connection to the Kingdom within.
