ZLORD podcast

Setting goals has been a regular topic for us, Carter and teZa Lord, cohosts of ZLORD podcast. Our discussion here goes to the next obvious, and essentially spiritual step--using whatever time we have wisely. Because without knowing what one's life goals (or for the week, the month, the year, etc) are--it's very hard, and for use we both agree virtually impossible to use our time wisely. Before working with goal, both of us felt our lives were like being pushed around by whim, other's fancy, and a lot of "whatevers." We share here how to take time to go within (10 mins daily for this exercise), get clear, and ask yourself some honest questions. Discover what's most important to you. Discover ... the purpose of your life. tezalord.com for more

teZa and Carter discuss how the main theme of their 3-years of podcasting--once their original camping trip was curtained by the pandemic--is how to achieve inner peace. Bliss. Happiness. And once that state is glimpsed, even for ever so briefly, how can it be cultivated? And eventually, embraced as the permanent state that each one of us can choose to live in. Some call that state enlightenment, but bliss is what it is. tezalord.com for more

A spirited discussion of the most interesting and inspiring book we've read in a long time. James R. Doty MD's autobiography, in which he shares a 4-step process of how to create the life we want. As a young boy of 12, without any support whatsoever (his parents, beyond dysfuctional) the story begins as Jim steps into a magic shop in his local California strip mall. There, he's taught this magical approach to life. Today, this same spiritual approach is called Mindfulness. Meditation. Compassion. Miraculously young Jim fulfills his intentions: of his family not getting evicted; of his becoming a doctor. Later, he meets the Dalai Lama and together, they are changing the world with the CCARE Foundation. For more, let's connect at tezalord.com

Cohost Carter returns after almost a month of teZa podcasting solo. They continue the discussion begun in last episode, of how our perceptions determine what kind of life we live. In teZa's case, she's comfortable thinking of life as a spiritual experience in her human "suit." Carter has similar perceptions, and together they share how even something like the so-called social "divide" promoted by media today is a matter of perception. Find workable solutions to common problems everyone has, from each individual to entire social structures. Spirit is the focus of all ZLORD discussions. see tezalord.com for more

Going solo this episode (Carter's off helping others, as he often is) teZa shares about who and what she is, knowing you too have this same insight about your own self. This is an introduction to the upcoming episode coming next, when Carter and teZa together discuss how we are all One, and that the so-called political/racial/sexual/social-economic "divisiveness" among us is only an illusion, and not the spiritual truth of our earthly existence. see tezalord.com for more.

Carter and teZa Lord have just returned from their honeymoon celebrating 30 years of purposefully-designed spiritual union. They discuss how they, both in their mid-40s, decided that was the only kind of love partnering for them. Discussing many details like: how they arrived at their marriage vows; how raising step-children (for teZa) fit into the plan; how Carter accepts Eastern mysticism into his born-again Christianity; how both decided that, right here and now (on the 2nd honeymoon), they need a new set of vows. And much more in this often hilarious look inside a feisty pair who both love God/Spirit/Source as much as each other. tezalord.com for more

While cohost Carter journeys, teZa speaks solo. She has a lot on her mind, three episodes in the last week! But urgency commands this sharing. Everywhere she turns teZa hears about younger people, more than most others, are feeling lost and confused these days. She can relate. Offering some insights and clear direction, she asks anyone listening to forward this to any person feeling similarly. It's helpful to know an antidote when one is suffering. tezalord.com for more.

teZa solo shares how, once an old negative source within us is identified, how to transform it into a positive NEW creation. This is the 2nd step to Letting Go. Allowing the creative intelligence we all have to flourish, we must destroy as much negativity within our energy field (including unhealthy habits, friends, jobs, environments, etc) so that the creative force of the Universe can propel us ever closer to the LIght of Wisdom. This ... is a spiritual life in action. Action is the result of having awareness, and the acceptance that comes after awareness arises. tezalord.com for more.

While cohost Carter travels, teZa shares how she works at letting go of negative, disturbing occurrences in everyday life. Sometimes it's a personal slight, sometimes an injurious rumor. Sometimes anger over global injustices. To make our lives more full, more complete, we must choose to let go of fear, and therefore we make space for new and better things to arise, like love, creativity, self-worth, new solutions, and true happiness. tezalord.com for more.

Carter (for the first time!) listened to ZLORD podcast. He chose the previous episode, about Truth. Well, he wasn't happy with what he heard; thought things were not clear enough for his liking. So he wants to discuss Truth in more depth. teZa agrees, as any subject is interesting if it relates to understanding Spirit at greater depth. This episode could be: Truth, part 2 but more topics arise, naturally. tezalord.com for more.
