About this Episode
Beginning poem:
Me: Hey God.
God: Hello.....
Me: I'm falling apart. Can you put me back together?
God: I would rather not.
Me: Why?
God: Because you aren't a puzzle.
Me: What about all of the pieces of my life that are falling down onto the ground?
God: Let them stay there for a while. They fell off for a reason. Take some time and decide if you need any of those pieces back.
Me: You don't understand! I'm breaking down!
God: No - you don't understand. You are breaking through. What you are feeling are just growing pains. You are shedding the things and the people in your life that are holding you back. You aren't falling apart. You are falling into place. Relax. Take some deep breaths and allow those things you don't need anymore to fall off of you. Quit holding onto the pieces that don't fit you anymore. Let them fall off. Let them go.
Me: Once I start doing that, what will be left of me?
God: Only the very best pieces of you.
Me: I'm scared of changing.
God: I keep telling you - YOU AREN'T CHANGING!! YOU ARE BECOMING!
Me: Becoming who?
God: Becoming who I created you to be! A person of light and love and charity and hope and courage and joy and mercy and grace and compassion. I made you for more than the shallow pieces you have decided to adorn yourself with that you cling to with such greed and fear. Let those things fall off of you. I love you! Don't change! ... Become! Become! Become who I made you to be. I'm going to keep telling you this until you remember it.
Me: There goes another piece.
God: Yep. Let it be.
Me: So ... I'm not broken?
God: Of course Not! - but you are breaking like the dawn. It's a new day. Become!!!

Questioning Everything with Trace Bell
At the heart of "Not This!" is questioning everything, deconstructing our systems, structures, and the beliefs that created them in the first place.
But where does all of this come from? How did human beings who are these magical, mystical, intelligent, loving beings create such limitation on a planet of abundance?
Trace and I lay it down and have so much more to come. Enjoy!

Bringing Light
It is time for us to all bright light to the planet and to the other beings on this Earth. What that means is different for each one of us, and none of us are limited by the physical reality, other people's behaviors, or any pre-conceived notion of what it means to bring light.
Join me on this adventure with source, exploring some of the possible ways we can bring light. Let's Care Bear Stare together!

How to Talk to Your Parents About Politics
The concept that I could possibly explain to you how to talk to your parents about politics is absurd. So of course when I was given this idea, I had to create it. I hope that this episode helps you stay a bit more in your sparkle, a lot more in compassion for every human (yes, especially yourself), and experience and express love that much more unconditionally. I love you.
