The Spiritual Freedom Show Podcast with Richard Lawrence

Back in September last year Richard shared an incredible personal story : a cosmic realization about the purpose of life - in one word - https://www.aetherius.org/a-cosmic-realization-of-the-purpose-of-life-in-one-word/ Interestingly, leading evolutionary scientists have started to question the commonly understood theory of evolution – and even highlight various shortcomings. The search is on for a more profound understanding of why we are here, where we are going, and how. So in this week's show Richard takes questions from our audience about the nature of spiritual evolution and what that means for us. Don't miss it.

Contrary to a lot of the noise you may hear in the New Age Community, there is no shortcut to Ascension. No one graduates from the classroom called Earth with anything less than perfect marks: complete mastery over all experience here. That said, it is true that this extraordinary achievement is the destiny of every single one of us, and that it is up to us whether we will get there sooner – or later. Join me and Richard for a discussion about the road to Ascension and what someone on the verge of this initiation would really be like!

Lots of people talk about "raising consciousness"; sometimes our own consciousness, sometimes global consciousness. But what does it actually mean? Doesn't it seem a bit vague? I am not generally a big fan of vague terms – because vagueness can give the false impression that spirituality is nebulous and wooly, when actually it is extremely precise, can be described technically, and known through direct experience.

Loneliness affects us all on the spiritual path at one time or another. In large part because this is a very unspiritual world and truly spiritual people are still in a small minority. But, even though it may be difficult to break away from "normal" life to follow our own inner prompting towards spirituality, is there anything else that really matters? Join me and Richard for a discussion about the promise of true spiritual friendship on the path, and, most importantly of all – the goal of all yoga, union with the Divine.

Many people talk about "their truth" as if there is no such thing as the truth. But the truth will be the truth whether we believe it or not, like it or not, etc. And a love for the truth is essential if we wish to find truth, including the highest truths about what we are – of our Real Selves – and of the very nature of God itself. Join me for this week's discussion with Richard about truth, paradox and the path to Enlightenment.

The relationship between Master and disciple is not like teacher and pupil at school. It is a form of magic. A metaphysical link is formed, through which the disciple can advance by the very presence of the Master. Even if the Master is not physically present, if you are truly dedicated to that Master and their teaching, their power will be present in your life – so that you can advance in the best possible way. Richard spent more than 20 years working closely with Master of Yoga Dr. George King – a man of extraordinary spiritual powers and wisdom. In this week's show Richard shares more of his own insights and personal stories from his time with Dr. King – and talks about what you can do to make your own connection with Dr. King which will help you in your journey towards enlightenment.

"Sin" is one of those loaded words. It calls to mind images of fanatical churchmen preaching fire and brimstone to their cowering congregations. No surprise that a lot of the dogma about sin is plain wrong. Eternal hell and damnation, seven deadly sins, absolution etc. So is there any truth in it at all? What do the Cosmic Masters have to say about "sin"? Join me for a thought-provoking discussion with Richard this week about the only major sin there is and some of its surprising implications.

There is a wrong idea that service to others somehow involves subjugating yourself to others' needs. Or that it means bending over backwards to accommodate people's demands with some sort of robotic-like obedience. But service is about neither of those things. Service is not about making yourself a doormat. It is about helping others to get closer to God. And in fact it is the doorway to your own Enlightenment too.
