Life Mastery Wisdom with David D McLeod

Most of us are aware of a pretty common phenomenon in which we seem to discover an answer we seek when we least expect it. It appears in a delightful form that we often call an “Aha Moment”, and when it happens, it jolts us with an indescribable energy that upon reflection reminds us of our eternal connection to All-That-Is. In this episode, we discuss this phenomenon at length and uncover a process for putting it to use more consciously—and consistently—in our lives.

We have beliefs about virtually every aspect of life, from the macroscopic down to the microscopic, and these beliefs shape the way we perceive reality and influence almost every choice we make. Since many of our beliefs are hidden away in our subconscious, we may engage in actions somewhat robotically, as if we are running on autopilot. In a way, beliefs are a double-edged sword: they can help guide us on our life journey, but they also tend to reduce our openness to new information. In this episode, we examine beliefs in detail and dare to ask whether they serve us or disempower us.

Conventional wisdom would have us believe that fear is an illusion, that it is all in our minds and that we should ignore it or rise above it. However, is this truly wise counsel? The physiological experience of fear feels very real when it happens—and all of us know what that experience is like. Similarly, when we experience joy or sadness or anger, we also have physiological responses that feel very real. So where do we get this idea of fear—and by extension, all of the other emotions—as being an illusion? In this episode, we tackle this very question in some detail. Listen in, and find some hope in the conclusion we come to.

We are all blessed with a powerful ego-mind that is meant to be a tool for safety and survival in the physical world. Unfortunately, the ego-mind has a life of its own, complete with drama, stories, interpretations, conclusions, and judgments—many of which are directed at ourselves. We may find ourselves believing mental stories about us that are limiting, restrictive, and often quite nasty—all the more so in the context of unpleasant external circumstances like we are experiencing in the world today. These stories can get so loud in our heads that we actually forget who we really are, and sometimes even reject our true nature. This dynamic definitely makes the notion of “self-acceptance” difficult to say the least! In this episode, you’ll learn about radical self-acceptance, a powerful process for short-circuiting the ego-mind into silence so that you can enhance your self-acceptance while remaining authentic and true to who you really are.

Ego defense mechanisms start out pretty benignly as a way to protect us and keep us safe. But what often happens is that they tend to become less and less useful over time. Even in adulthood, we tend to fall back on those tired old defense mechanisms because they have become habitual. And because we engage these old ineffective strategies more or less unconsciously, we don’t necessarily realize that they may be causing more problems than they are solving. So, what is the solution? Well, you might be surprised at the answer—check out the recording and find out.

In a time when widespread isolation, loneliness, fear and anger seem to be growing at a rapid rate, nothing could be more important than unconditional love and healing. In this episode, David shares a powerful two-part “E-Love-Ation Process” that will help you to reduce stress, tension, fear and anger, while increasing your connection to powerful healing love that you can share with the world—even if you need to continue practicing social distancing. Practice this process daily to keep yourself grounded in the truth of who you really are, and encourage all your friends to join you in the practice.

For many of us, who we are and how we show up in the world seem to be largely determined by the circumstances of our lives. We think of ourselves as the sum of our experiences, and so the idea that we might be able to direct the way we evolve may at first seem preposterous. But in this episode, we’ll take a deep look at a powerful 4-step process you can use to turn that idea on its head. Get ready to learn about Conscious Self-Creation, and start using this technique to transform yourself into the kind of person you truly want to be.

Humans have an almost universal tendency to keep certain things very private. You may not like a quality or characteristic that you were born with. It may have triggered strong negative feedback from important people earlier in your life, so you do your best to keep those things hidden away. Or maybe you experienced something in your life that caused so much shame or other emotional pain that you’ve simply decided not to reveal it to anyone. Unfortunately, the secrets we keep tend to take on an energy of their own, and sometimes that energy can have negative consequences on our health and well-being. In this episode, we look at the nature of secrets and toxic shame, and offer insights and options for healing.

The idea of Absolute Truth—the whole truth—is something that philosophers have argued about for centuries. While it seems inevitable that Absolute Truth exists, it is also the case that, by its very nature, it must encompass everything that is knowable about the entire universe—that is, it must be unified and indivisible. No single human mind is capable of grasping the entirety of Absolute Truth, but every human mind is capable of seeing fragments of it. What’s even more amazing is that all of Absolute Truth is available to everyone because of our unbreakable connection to the Source of All-That-Is. And because of this, you can be sure that every question you could ever imagine asking has an answer that will come to you—when you know where to look for it.
