ZLORD podcast

Carter shows up at the last minute and teZa easily adapts, having prepared to, once again, podcast solo. Their chosen discussion centers on the blended family: practically everyone's experience worldwide today. The microcosm of the macrocosm is each of our own daily life. teZa's audio book of ZEN LOVE is a metaphor of the blended family of humankind. tezalord.com for more

While Carter is busy digging a ditch with a friend today, teZa decides it's a "good day" to share the body-mind-spirit approach of how she lives, and works, as a Spirit artist, author, and activist. Visit tezalord.com for more of her creations.

From making music to making money, keeping things simple eases a person along the spiritual path. teZa and Carter enjoy another of their enjoyable (to them! maybe you too?) discussions about what makes life fuller, richer, more ... at ease. Confusion and chaos happen all around us, but at anytime anyone can claim inner peace. the Lord cohosts share how they do it, and for both, it wasn't exactly easy. They recommend working with a "spiritual partner" ... if you haven't already got one. Check weekly blog posts at tezalord.com

ZLORD co-hosts teZa and Carter talk about the "greater good" amounting to choosing a "We" attitude over a personal "I" in terms of receiving the Covid vaccine to help gain universal herd immunity. Offering several examples of reasons that close, holistically-aware friends have put forth (no conspirators!), and resulting intimate conversations among respected members of the Lords' like-minded tribes, the consensus of what's best to do becomes clearly obvious. As always, the focus of ZLORD is to live a more conscious, aware, present, and fulfilling life feeling the Oneness that life's essence, consciousness is. Be sure to read/listen to teZa Lord's ZEN LOVE, a nonfiction narrative about viewing all humankind as a blended family approach, a true recounting of "We-ness": available at Amazon as paperback, Kindle and Audible books.

It's spring, and Easter time, a time of renewal and rebirth. Carter and teZa discuss how it's so important for all of the world's blended family (including each one of us!) to think of ourselves as part of the "We" instead of just a small "me." Especially in light of certain people resisting getting the Covid vax. The discussion rises to the pertinent occasion of the importance of herd immunity.

On her own, teZa talks as she makes ghee on the stove. She's thinking about signs, looking for them, and what they could mean, if anything. As the ghee cooks, she relates several significant Signs that have happened to her recently. Finally, as the ghee finishes, she sums up her feelings surrounding signs, and talks about the yoga classes she has uploaded on her teZa Lord YouTube channel. Carter will return next episode.

ZLORD's cohosts teZa and Carter discuss how important it is to work for happiness, better said with Contentment because that emotional state is "neither this nor that," similar to the Buddhist's Middle Way. Using personal experiences listeners get to share the pitfalls and the heights of this couple's longstanding earnest work toward making joy and service to others their spiritual center.

teZa and Carter, the cohosts of ZLORD, discuss the significance of this special day they're speaking on: the Hindu and Yoga-world auspicious day of Shivaratri. In the eastern yogic tradition of which teZa partakes, the repetition of the name of Shiva, signifying "consciousness" or the Divine in All, has been her many decades-long tradition. Shivaratri is when repeating "the Name" Shiva bestows blessings upon the entire world. Carter's more western Judeo-Christian approach to the Divine doesn't exclude him from respecting and participating in others' ways of honoring the Sacred. They speak of how Native Americans have the same tradition, of prayerfully bestowing blessings upon the entire Earth. ZLORD's East-meets-West pair share how they accept each other's differences, starting with how they revere and speak of "God." See tezalord.com for her 4 books about Oneness.

Cohosts teZa and Carter Lord discuss how every single person has the free will to choose whether to be in the state of love, and BE happy, or conversely, to choose to be in the state of fear (which includes anxiety, anger, confusion, etc.). Everyone has free will. So even if you're imprisoned and your body is in duress, you can still choose to be happy, and exercise your birthright to see the Light of Love all around, and not the darkness of fear. Practical ways to do this are offered. True, it's hard work to be happy, but the rewards of being more aware of our choices is so great.

Everyone's sick of so much negativity! It's now a year of living in the Covid-era and teZa and Carter Lord, cohosts of ZLORD offer a sure-fire way of healing our world's brokenness. Practiced one-person-at-a-time, being kind will, and already IS reversing years of ongoing antagonism that our entire American society is disgusted by. Perhaps the world is too, but here in America we are beginning to find ways to heal our brokenness. Many communities have nonpartisan conversations going, letting everyone express themselves with KINDNESS. If you can't listen to this conversation, please visit CharterForCompassion.org to see how you, too, can be part of helping our divided political world to heal. Starting with each person's choosing to practice the Golden Rule. And speak kind words. Look for teZa's audio book "Zen Love" about how she practiced such healing in her own family setting: available now on Amazon.
