    ZLORD podcast

    ZLORD chronicles inner and outer adventures and whimsical musings of artists teZa and Carter Lord. Sometimes teZa, the ZLORD herself shares solo. When together, the cohosts dedicate their conversations to helping to heal our divided blended family of humankind by spreading every aspect of the verb/noun "love." They explore Spirit in all its various forms. (No politics, ever). Whether traveling to Patagonia, the Pacific Northwest, or speaking from their comfy couch, each episode is sure to surprise you with its honest approach to some of life's pressing questions. These two Americans (30+ years married) live freely and explore how to uplift one's own level of inner peace. With great joy they strive to help others to experience (and maintain) higher states of being free of fear. They adhere to the preciousness of the Present Moment. Carter is a committed Christian who believes in reincarnation, while teZa is a non-duality, mystical yogi. Sometimes their discussions reflect how they came to their mutual love of Spirit through their very different paths. However these two may differ, they both speak about the truth of Oneness. A fan calls them "the George and Gracie Burns of spirituality." Archives of the years' of podcasting cover pandemic explorations from their living room couch, dedicated to life's inner awakenings. Even earlier episodes follow the weekly exploits of the Lords' 6-months of car-and-tent camping in the Wild (start listening in June 2019 and join their fun-camping life starting from Maine, westward through Canada, south along the Pacific Northwest, into the spectacular canyons of the West, to Big Bend along the Texas-Mexico border, and East back to Florida, where the couple reside next to the sea. Please send comments and suggestions for future conversations to zlordpodcast@gmail.com. Presently they rarely have guests since they use a simple iPhone for these lo-tech, often nomadic recordings. teZa, a 5-book author and spiritual activist, is a frequent guest on other podcasts. See tezalord.com. She publishes her first novel in early 2024. teZa offers MindStillers, free guided meditations on her YouTube channel. Carter is a feature filmmaker (Lithium Springs, and The Enchanted) and currently shows short videos on his YouTube channel. On his site carterlord.com you can stream his previous features and find a link to his YouTube. Carter is an avid tennis player so look for the world championship match he filmed in Bolivia, 2023. Friends, Stay Strong, Stay in the Light! And remember ... Love is the weapon of mass illumination.

    The Best Cure for Anger

    The Best Cure for Anger

    Many people are emotionally strained these days. With both national and worldwide events escalating daily, many are nervous, many are angry, some are contemptuous of others on “the other side.” In this episode cohosts teZa and Carter Lord discuss what is the obvious solution: civility. And detachment from toxic people and situations. How to practice these choices though, when face to face with others’ incivility is the solution for changing negative-dark situations into more positive, light-filled ones. See tezalord.com and carterlord.com for info about hosts.

    The Weapon of Mass Illumination

    The Weapon of Mass Illumination

    Life on planet Earth is getting more tense by the moment. Some of us though, see all challenges as opportunities for choosing how to live in conflicted times — responding, not reacting, with peace and calm instead of revenge and violent solutions. Cohosts teZa and Carter Lord share their perspectives on the hyper-explosive situation in the Middle East, compounded by the ongoing conflict between the dominance of Russia over the fighting-for-survival Ukraine.

    When is Revenge Acceptable?

    When is Revenge Acceptable?

    Whether a world crisis or a personal resentment, we all contribute to elevating our world (or not) by the action we choose to take. In this episode, cohosts Carter and teZa Lord talk about the recent atrocities in the Middle East’s Gaza, and how we can relate this show-down between extremist-Hamas and Israel in the bigger world arena—to having a resentment against our neighbor, something all of us can relate to. See tezalord.com and carterlord.com for more about hosts. 

    Is Religion Relevant?

    Is Religion Relevant?

    After last week’s unprecedented violence by Hamas extremists in Israel’s Gaza Strip, cohost teZa and Carter Lord attempt to explain their relationship with the Divine, the blatant cause of too many wars. For these two long-marrieds, they experience the Sacred through both personal inner experiences, like meditation and serving others, as well as through spiritual teachings, such as “The Word” offered in religious texts. Both defend their very different stands on the modern question of: “Is God dead?” debated by various seekers and anti-religious alike. The Lords’ conclusion? Yes! ALL Religions serve as a beacon of hope for many in our otherwise insane world. But extremists—of any ilk—can make anything a trip to hell with their narrow, intolerant interpretation of what is, in essence, simply one’s version of goodness: being a decent human being.

    NEWS FLASH: The Environmental Tipping Point Has Been Reached

    There comes a time in everyone’s life—and in this case, our four fun years of podcasting about life’s journey itself—when a crossroads is reached. In this episode cohosts teZa and Carter discuss her recent period of reflection, and how she’s made an important and necessary decision (she is, after all, the motivating force behind the creation of ZLORD podcast). So now—the tipping point of human awareness and openness to expressing compassion for our planet has been reached. It is time (it’s never too late!) to help raise awareness of our Earth’s climate crisis, and what we—as both individuals and as a blended family of humankind—can do to make a difference in solving it. Change begins with awareness. See tezalord.com and carterlord.com
