  • The Freaky Science of Divine Timing

    Ep 19. As is fitting for the last episode of the podcast, we're talking about the universal experience of Divine Timing.....aka "why do things show up in my life when they do, and not when I ask for them?" and "how do the right things sometimes come out of bloody nowhere when I didn't ask for them?" and sometimes "holy bleeding fuck, where did THIS SHIT come from?? like everrrr??" Let's get into it.

    Tune in for...
    1. The divine timing of this very podcast, and of this very episode.
    2. How you know when things are right for you (and when the universe is talking to you)
    3. What it means to align yourself with universal will and "destiny"
    4. The reality of the situation when it comes to manifestation
    5. What we really have control over
    6. Surrender (no we're not done with it yet)
    7. ...And of course, the Akashic Records' take on the whole business (it's really fucking good)

    What is The Diamond Room?

    On The Diamond Room, Slade Powell (he/they) curates an ongoing exploration of what it means to be human, bringing new perspectives on how we thrive in a world unlike any we've seen before, and what it is that we're really doing here on this big ball of dirt. Between interviews with experts in a variety of fields, from neuroscience to manifestation, and Slade's own 14 years of delving into the deeper layers of reality, this podcast is one hell of a party wrapped up in an existential crisis. (Yours. We've had ours.)

About The Diamond Room

From the publisher's feed

No one teaches you how to live, thrive, and just "be" a human being -- you teach yourself. We support that self-discovery by asking the big questions each week, diving deep into what it means to be alive, to be human, to live a meaningful + satisfying life. Featuring mind-expanding interviews with incredible thinkers + explorers of the human experience, and deep dives into themes of what it means to live in integrative co-creation with the universe. Slade draws out the important themes that move us all forward toward a state of continual universal surrender. Together, we will seek answers to the basic questions of being alive.
