Fate, Destiny, and Free Will | Episode 72

This podcast is focused on Soul, Spirituality, and Spiritual Bypassing. Engaging the Soul and understanding its needs is the key in avoiding Spiritual Bypassing. Unfortunately, many spiritual teaching modalities, including some meditation-based eastern traditions, tend to bypass the Soul and its needs, seeing it as an aspect of Ego that needs to be disowned and surrendered, in favor of a mystical connection to the Sacred. Spiritual enlightenment reached through disowning or surrendering one’s soul and its needs leads to Soul Loss and Spiritual Bypassing. 

Spiritual practice is meant to be a transcending and life-nourishing process. But spiritual practice can be hijacked by the mind, and used as a mean to cope with unhealed psychological or emotional burdens. This is known as Spiritual Bypassing, or unknowingly using spirituality to bypass and distract from what needs attention, healing, and care within. 

We tend to spiritually bypass, when we avoid attending to our soul’s psychological or emotional needs. Spiritual bypassing is also an indication of soul loss, which should be resolved through Inner Work or Soul Retrieval. Spiritual practices that bypass the Soul, no matter how mystical, can never be as soulful or as life-affirming as practices that honor the Soul and engage it as a bridge to the Divine. 

This podcast explains the relationship between Soul, Spirituality, and Spiritual Bypassing, and covers the following topics:   

- Personal and Mystical Experience of Spirituality

- Soul, Soul Loss, and what it means to be Soulful 

- Soulful and Soulless Spirituality

- Spiritual Bypassing and How to notice it

This podcast is focused on Inner Peace and how to Be at Peace in our Chaotic World. It explains why the world is becoming increasingly more chaotic, and how one can to be at peace, despite this chaos. Inner Peace is the foundation of life, because without it, it’d be hard to focus on anything else, or be inspired to pursue what we want in life. We may think we don't have peace because the world cannot be at peace, but the opposite is true. It is the world that is in chaos and cannot be at peace, because human mind is in chaos and not at peace. It’s the suffering in chaotic mind of human that prevents the world to find peace. The chaos and suffering and the lack of peace in the external world is the reflection of the chaos and suffering and the lack of peace in the human mind. So, if you really want more peace in the world, you need to first find that peace in your own mind. Only when you restore peace and harmony in you, you can bring more peace and harmony to others around you and to the world. 

This podcast covers the following topics:

- The Current State of the World and Humanity (How did we end up here?)

- Why Deception, Chaos, Darkness, and Evil exist in the World?

- How to find Peace by noticing your Goodness as a True Human Being.

This podcast is focused on your Soul. Finding Your Soul is about building an inner connection with your soul again. This post explains what Soul is and how it manifests. It also includes an experiential soul meditation. Soul is a real and spiritual aspect of our psyche, the aspect that we can experience and have relationship with. So, we need to find our Soul and find a way to initiate an inner dialogue with it. The Finding Your Soul meditation included in this post helps you do that. 

When we are not connected to our Soul, we project its qualities onto others in our life, demanding them to give us what we need. Friendships and Relationships fall apart because our friends or partners can never fill the void we have inside, the void that can only be filled with our Soul. 

This podcast consists of two parts. First part provides some background of what Soul is or what role it plays in our life. The second part is an experiential soul meditation to help you initiate an inner dialogue with your soul, invite it to draw closer to you, and start building a deeper relationship with it.

This podcast explains why relationships fail. It explains the role of our Inner Child Needs play in our relationships as adults. If you wish to analyze and understand your relationships, you may find the information provided here useful.    

Your relationships, especially those you find most challenging, are filled with wisdom about you. Being curious about your relationships can raise your self-awareness, because behind each one of them, there is a part of you that demands something from that relationship. When you recognize these parts and be open to give them what they need, your relationships become healthier and less demanding on others. 

This podcast invites you to become curious and understand the psychological anatomy of your relationships. Without this understanding, your challenging relationships continue to be a puzzle to you. If you have relationships you value, but they are not as nourishing as they could be, the information provided here can be helpful in improving them. More specifically, we cover the following topics. 

- Transactional Nature of Relationships (Relationship as a mean to meet a need)

- Our Inner Child Needs and how they affect our Relationships as Adults

- Why Relationships fail? (Anatomy of an Unhealthy Relationship)

- How to Analyze and Understand your Relationships

This podcast is focused on reincarnation and its meaning and purpose. It explains Reincarnation and why we reincarnate. Reincarnation and the survival of consciousness outside of our body is no longer a strictly spiritual belief, and has numerous empirical evidence. In this presentation, I provide some evidence in support of the existence of reincarnation and explain why believing in reincarnation and realizing its meaning and purpose can be life transforming. 

Reincarnation implies that the life we experience now is only one of many lives we either lived before or will live in the future. The idea of Reincarnation is also intertwined with the principle of Karma. The principle of karma implies that our actions and deeds in the past lives determine the course of our present or future lives. In that way, there is a karmic causality and reciprocity between our actions and deeds toward others, and what we ultimately experience in our lives as a consequence, both in good or bad ways. 

The goal of this podcast is to raise your awareness about reincarnation and why it’s important for you to consider it as a life-transforming reality. More specifically, we cover the following topics:

- Spiritual Background of Reincarnation

- Belief in Reincarnation in Nobilities and Great Thinkers

- Empirical Evidence in support of Reincarnation

- What if we choose not to believe in Reincarnation?

- What happens when we choose to believe in Reincarnation?

- And, If Reincarnation is real, why do we reincarnate? What is the point?

This podcast is focused on Heart Chakra, and the difference between the Emotional and Spiritual Heart. Heart is the most symbolic organ in our body and has physiological, emotional, and spiritual function. In fact, we have a physiological heart, an emotional heart, and a spiritual heart. Our physiological heart brings vitality and life energy to all other organs in our body. Our emotional heart helps us feel and process the emotions our rational mind is incapable of feeling or processing. Our spiritual heart is different from the other two, as it is the point of access to our Soul and the spiritual inner world we are a part of. 

The goal of this presentation is to raise awareness about our heart and its emotional and spiritual dimensions. More specifically, we cover the following topics:

- Heart as a Conscious and Independent Organ 

- Heart as an Emotional and Empathic Organ

- Heart as a Spiritual and Visionary Organ 

- Heart Chakra: the Portal to the Spiritual Heart 

- The Key to Opening the Heart Chakra

This podcast is focused on the Shamanic World. The Shamanic World is a spiritual world accessible through Imaginative Consciousness of our Soul. In Shamanic View, this spiritual reality is known as The Shamanic World, The Shamanic Cosmos, or, The Spirit World. In Sufism and Neoplatonic View, it is referred to as The Mundus Imaginalis, The Imaginal World, Daimonic Reality, or the Domain of the Soul. Or, in Depth or Archetypal Psychology, this reality is referred to as The Unconscious, The Mundus Archetypus, and The World of Archetypal Images. 

There are other names given to this hidden spiritual reality, such as Astral, Subtle, or Celestial World. Dreams are one of the gateways, through which we can access these unconscious contents in the Shamanic World. There are other gateways, like shamanic journeys and active imagination that allow broader access to these unconscious contents. 

This podcast explains what Shamanic World is, and why accessing it is essential to our psychological well-bring and spiritual awakening. More specifically, we cover the following topics:

- The Shamanic World and Mundus Imaginalis (The Domain of the Soul)

- Soul Consciousness as the Gateway to Shamanic World

- Cognitive Imagination as an Inner Sense and Organ of Perception 

- Difference between Shamanic Journey and Meditation

- Personal Dimension of the Shamanic World

- And, Impersonal and Archetypal Dimensions of the Shamanic World

This podcast is explains who a Wounded Healer is, and why a true healer is a wounded healer. If you are a psychologist, counselor, caregiver, empath, or are someone who has a calling to be a healer, you may find the information provided here useful. Without exception, everyone experiences emotional pain in this life. Those who choose to become curios and heal their pain are meant to become wounded healers. 

A healer cannot heal a wounded person beyond what the healer herself has yet not healed within. So, your capacity for healing others is not bounded by your empathic gifts, but by the emotional wounds from your past that prevent you from fully actualizing these gifts. 

The term wounded healer is attributed to C.G. Jung, who became a healer through noticing and healing his own sufferings. The Wounded Healer is a paradoxical term, because it contains two polar opposite meanings, namely “being wounded” and “being a healer”. Because of this contradiction, the term Wounded Healer implicitly implies a transformation, the transformation from a “wounded individual” to a “wounded healer”. This podcast is focused on this transformation. More specifically, we cover the following topics:

- How to know if you are meant to be a Wounded Healer? 

- The Origin of Trauma and Emotional Wounds

- The Fundamental Needs of Humans (Inner Child Needs)

- Why you need to become a Wounded Healer

This podcast is focused on Empaths. It explains who Empaths are, how one becomes an empath, and what all empaths need to know. Empaths bring the gift of caring to people around them. A world without empathy and compassion is a world without nourishing connections, a desert without water. If you are an empath, you need to embrace your empathic gift, but you also need to become curious how you acquired that gift. 

This Podcast is meant to raise awareness about empathic aspect of personality and how one becomes an empath. It also explains how empaths absorb the emotional burdens of others, and how they can protect themselves from that by transforming their empathy to compassion. More specifically, we cover the following topics:

- How to know if you are an empath?

- Understanding the difference between Sympathy, Empathy, and Compassion

- Noticing the difference between Empaths and Compassionate Individuals     

- Understanding how one becomes an Empath

- And, Transforming your Empathic Gift to Compassion
