  • Episode 16 – Resistance
    Resistance is the hara – the power center – of this body of work.  It is the CEO of this cosmology

    Your browser does not support this audio


    A person who has Resistance in his or her garment pattern is particularly gifted with the ability to take in the high frequency of spiritual energy, provide an appropriate amount of resistance, and deliver it to the terminal in useful form.  Without the resistor, energy would be unidentifiable, uninterpreted, and not useful.

  • Episode 14 – Intelligence
    Spiritual Intelligence is not IQ.  It involves gathering accurate information through your heart-mind and distributing it throughout your whole being

    Your browser does not support this audio



    Spiritual Intelligence relies on energy, vibrations, sensations, nature.  It weighs all information (sound, smell, taste, touch, vocabulary, implication, vibration and frequency) against the feather of truth.

  • Episode 12 – Flowering, Unfolding, Evolving
    Flowering changes the structure of human thought


    Your browser does not support this audio

    Flowering, Unfolding, Evolving are the three words that name this principle.  Or, if you prefer, it could be called Changing.  This CHANGE is away from the isolation and separation that we’ve learned with our head-brains, toward right relationship and connectivity as governed by our heart-mind.

  • Episode 11 – Reciprocity
    Reciprocity is the “what comes around goes around” principle


    Your browser does not support this audio

    Reciprocity is about balance.  It’s karmic.  But it’s not a karma or a balance that humans create.  It’s a force, a spiritual influence, a cosmic see-saw that already exists and operates.  We just need to become aware of it if we want to understand that our decisions create our reality.

  • Episode 10 – Awareness
    Awareness begs the question:  Where is brain; where is mind?


    Your browser does not support this audio

    Awareness awakens humans to a self-conscious perspective–it bridges instinct and consciousness. In this episode we also discuss how knitting a big circle with two holes in it is a metaphor for Awareness.  We’ll talk making decisions based on the politics of belief. And an extra-surprising surprise ending.

    Goodness and playfulness become synonyms in this new podcast.  Connie Kaplan teaches you how to take the judgment off the word “good” by turning it into play.  She describes how her own play – knitting – can sometimes turn to frustration.  And she shares about a friend who has suffered over his own definition of Goodness.  The closing surprise is guaranteed to make you smile!
