Our Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) shapes the way we experience our lives. This system acts mostly unconsciously and regulates bodily functions, such as heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, etc. It serves to inform and protect us but sometimes it continues to react to previous experiences rather than responding to what is happening in the present moment. In this podcast, Grand Master Julie Scott leads us to better understand the ANS and how to interrupt habits that no longer serve us so we can establish new patterns that create more connection and vitality.

Transforming our Autonomic Responses

Much has been written about the phenomenon known as lucid dreaming, where while dreaming, the individual recognizes that she or he is in a dream and is able to consciously direct her or his actions as while awake instead of passively participating in the dream experience. Perhaps the most salient element in lucid dreaming is that one is aware that one is in a dream while in it – a type of meta-awareness. The objective of what could be called “lucid waking” is to develop a similar meta-awareness of life while in the normal waking state. In other words, it is to gradually awaken within the dream of reality. Presented by longtime Rosicrucian and Martinist Julian Johnson.

Lucid Waking

In this podcast, Grand Master Julie Scott presents the timeline of the ancient mystery traditions that have contributed the most to what Rosicrucian students study today. Then she leads us in a meditation acknowledging the great mystics of the past who helped to preserve and perpetuate the Ancient Mysteries and the Rosicrucian Tradition, as well as those who helped guide us to the Rosicrucian Path.The podcast concludes with a meditation sending thoughts of encouragement and Peace Profound to Rosicrucians who will come in the future.

Mystics of the Past, Present, and Future

Knighthood in its noblest form remains as important as ever for the evolution and maturation of humanity. It is the symbol par excellence for service and the courage needed thereof. The keynote of knighthood is unconditional caring, known through the mystical experience of the Divine Within, and only applied through the high development of character. In this podcast, longtime Rosicrucian and Martinist Hugh McCague guides us on this way of life central to our purpose and mission in life and the work of the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC.

The Call to Knighthood

What an amazing opportunity we have to create a New Story to guide human behavior related to living in harmony with the natural world – to transform our society’s paradigm or “norm.” In this podcast, Grand Master Julie Scott leads us in a meditation to help create this societal paradigm shift through our daily actions.
