the path

Each season we choose one fictional cult to join, and this time we're signing our lives over to The Path, a Hulu original populated entirely by super hot people with great clothes. But wait... there's more! A culty underbelly? Characters for whom Jesse is sympathetic and Ameran is not? Enlightened people doing unenlightened things (in this cult and in real life)? And that's just the beginning! Whether you've already joined The Path (aka the Myerist Movement) in your head like Jesse has, or you'll find yourself bingeing it tomorrow after listening to this episode, this one is a blast and we can't wait to share it with you! 
Let us know on our Facebook page whether we'll be seeing you "in The Garden," we love to know which eternities we'll be sharing with who...

Super special thanks to our theme song creator, the incomparable Mz. Devon Sproule, we are lucky ducks to have a piece of her sweet sound on our show!

Everyone talks about meditation and its benefits. Lots of us have trouble doing meditation. Leah talks with The Path founder Dina Kaplan about how to be a student for life and utilize meditation as one of the training tools.

This is a candid episode from two successful women who have also struggled with anxiety, self-confidence, performance and authenticity. Listen in on how to follow your gut to course correct and live your authenticity, how to notice the symptoms of emotional imbalance, and how the power of meditation can transform your mind and your life.

Learn the difference between meditation and religion, and how meditation is open and available to all. Discover if diving deeper, getting your toes wet or actually becoming a meditation teacher yourself is the right next step for you.

Dina guides us in a short gratitude meditation at the end of the episode. Enjoy!

Dina is founder/CEO and a certified meditation teacher who teaches meditation and guides retreats around the world. Before The Path, Dina was co-founder/COO of Blip, an online video start-up that was a real thing but led Dina to panic attacks and an eventual trip around the world to learn to be herself again. Prior to the tech world, Dina was a television reporter who won an Emmy which is now in storage. Dina loves languages (speak to her in Italian), hosting dinner parties, and the tiny Sicilian island of Panarea. Find more about her and her company here.

Leah is an author of Overcoming Toxic Emotions, Spiritual Journal for Women and The Fearless Path, as well as an intuitive healer focused on emotional health and spiritual growth, motivational speaker and retreat leader. Find more about her work here.

Aaron Davis begins the show by reading an article about the lefts attempt to start banning body armor after some recent high profile mass murders were armor was worn by the killer, specifically Buffalo Body armor can protect all of us incase of a home invasion, mass chaos, riots, or simply civilians want to wear incase their locale is super dangerous. But to the left, they see it as too much liberty and they want to ban it for civilians yet maintain it specifically for the Government.  Then the crew go over their main chest rigs.

‘The Role of Discipleship in the 21st Century’, the latest talk from Bodo Balsys in Brussels, explores the importance and nature of service for the contemporary disciple and spiritual seeker.

Service to Hierarchy and service to Humanity are of central importance to any path of Enlightened Awakening. This talk explores the importance of service for contemporary practitioners and spiritual seekers and and a true understanding what Love really means. It also emphasises the relationship between service,  karma and group evolution in a spiritual path in the 21st Century.

‘Discipleship in the 21st Century’ introduces the following themes:

• Service work as the heart of the Bodhisattva path & central to gaining enlightenment
• The humbling and sanctifying nature of service
• Service, particularly Group Service awakens the Heart Centre
• The seven rays inform how disciples serve, as does their karma and level of awakening
• Service and the Hierarchy of Enlightened Being/Masters of Wisdom
• The cleansing of karma as a form of service
• Service as a central means to awakening higher perceptions and chakras

More information can be found on Karma in Karma and the Rebirth of Consciousness in the Publications section. Be sure to listen to the Foundation talk on Karma also.

For more information on service see the Alice Bailey Books, in particular, Discipleship in the New Age Vol 1 and  2. Glamour: A World Problem and Initiation, Human and Solar Other Alice Bailey Books are also good references on this topic.
