  • 7 Beliefs That Are Ruining Your Life with Adrian Emery

    Philosopher and author Adrian Emery discusses his lifelong inquiry into what makes human life work. He outlines seven inherited “erroneous beliefs” which shape the Western paradigm, independent of one's religious belief. Emery argues these beliefs function as the bars of a psychological prison that keep us disempowered and compliant. How do we find our way back to Divine Source? Our next evolutionary step is exciting, but requires us to first see the structures we are to overcome. In Part 2 we will cover, “What next?”

    Bio-

    Adrian Emery is a philosopher, author and mentor from the Blue Mountains of Australia, and the founder of the LifeWorks philosophy. He has spent his life on a single question — what actually makes a human life work — and is known for naming the seven inherited beliefs (scarcity, not-good-enough, original sin, and the rest) that quietly run a person’s fear and striving, creating dysfunction in life and disturbing inner peace and happiness.

  • Love in Action for the Children with Glaydon Jose de Freitas Filho

    Glaydon de Freitas, CEO of Love146, lives as Love in Action. His commitment to human rights and community restoration grew out of his unique upbringing in Brazil’s Amazon region, where he was immersed in indigenous culture and exposed to cooperative community as well as poverty and exploitation. He shares his adopted philosophy of “you are my other me” and how God expresses God’s self through the other. This is at the root of his tireless commitment to stop child trafficking and restore dignity to everyone. He discusses what child trafficking really is, the origin story of Love 146, and finally how we can all work together to free the children.

  • What Can Death Charts Reveal? with Linda “Moonrabbit” Zlotnik - EP 382

    Linda “Moonrabbit” Zlotnik joins the Spiritual Forum to discuss how astrology can help people navigate grief and find perspective after loss. As a veteran astrologist, her exploration of death charts began after the death of her twin. Moonrabbit defines a death chart as the date, place, and time of death mapped astrologically and related to the bereaved person’s birth chart. She has refined her death chart consultation through nearly two hundred sessions with grieving clients, helping them to release guilt, clarify questions, and mitigate grief associated with sudden loss. In this episode, she shares some of her client stories, and she and Rev. Carol also discuss what astrology is spiritually and why it doesn’t go against God, as some believe.

  • The Power of Unthinkable Forgiveness with Gissele Taraba - EP 380

    Why is the command to "love your enemies" so important? Author and TEDx speaker Gissele Tarraba explores this question, reminding us that what we’ve been doing up to this point (regarding the perpetrator-victim relationship) has not been working and bringing us real-life stories of unthinkable forgiveness. She is in the process of creating a docu-series featuring such stories to show the world the transformative power of love. Gissele discusses her journey from child welfare director to compassion advocate, and she and Rev. Carol share the unexpected challenges one experiences when following the call to higher work. They also explore the necessity of self-love and inner shadow work and the magic that happens when we live from curiosity.

  • Exploring Life Between Lives with David John Allen - EP 379

    What happens after death? What happens before birth? Life Between Lives facilitator and author David Allen, trained by the legendary Michael Newton, joins us to answer these questions and share the process of uncovering our soul path through past life regression. David started doing past life regression in 2005. Through his work where he chronicles regression sessions, he can assure us that we are not alone and that there is more to life and also more to death than we think.

     

    Bio- David Allen is a long-established Life Between Lives facilitator, initially trained in the UK in 2005 by the last training team to be led by the legendary Michael Newton. He has, for many years, guided people through these incredible experiences. He is essentially a family man with two sons, 5 grandchildren and two great grandchildren, widowed in 2016 after 47 years of marriage. Now, he writes books when he has something that needs saying and routinely blogs on Substack with mainly political observations and solutions. His latest book, Life According to the Soul, explores spiritual memories, the journey between lifetimes, and how these experiences can offer insight into the challenges, relationships, and experiences of everyday life.

  • Are We in End Times? with William Wildblood - EP 378

    Nearly all faith traditions have narratives around end times and many people believe we are passing through a cycle of death and rebirth now. William Wildblood, author of A Survival Guide to the End Times, joins us to explore what end times are (hint: it’s not the end of the world!) and how we can navigate through them. He asserts that we’ve lost track of what we are, why we are here, and where we should be going, thus precipitating the rise of materiality/extremism/transhumanism, the collapsing spiritual integrity of institutions, the inversion of truth, and the prominence of false spirituality. But every end brings a new beginning and William shares why this is hugely positive for humanity. He also reveals steps we can each take during these times of massive change to build our inner sanctuary and restore our innate nature.

  • A Case for Vegan God with Kameron Waters - EP 376

    Kameron Waters joins the Spiritual Forum to discuss his journey from hunter/fisherman steeped in Bible Belt Christianity to co-creator of the documentary Christspiracy (aka What Would Jesus Do?). He describes how a Daniel fast and intense study of the Bible sparked questions about food, animal souls, and the deeper message of Jesus. He discusses contested scriptures such as Genesis 9 and makes the case that Jesus opposed animal sacrifice and embodied nonviolence toward all creatures - not as a standalone message, but as a key component of human salvation and the restoration of God's Kingdom. Kameron makes his case. What do you think? What questions arise in you?

  • When the Night Does Not Break with Dick S Forbes - EP 375

    No matter your faith tradition, no one escapes suffering and sometimes the dark nights seem to go on forever. Dick Forbes joins The Spiritual Forum to discuss how suffering and dark seasons can lead to deeper communion with God. He shares his faith journey and speaks candidly about 17 years of estrangement from two of his children and how he learned to release what he cannot fix and find God’s presence even in silence. Finally, he discusses the nature of God and how answered prayer often shows up. In the face of the dark night, this conversation will inspire you to let go of victim consciousness and boldly move forward.
