Messages: Evolving Through Spiritual Connection




Messages: Evolving Through Spiritual Connection
~ Gwilda Wiyaka ~
As we move further into the new era, the old systems increasingly fail. Formulas change and the tried and true is no longer true, leaving us floundering without reliable tools to predict outcome, and our safe place within it.

The choices used to be pretty clear. For example if you saved up and went to college, you could land a job for a lifetime that would support you. If you did not, you would probably end up being lower middle class at best, living from paycheck to paycheck.
Now, in the electronic age, things are moving so quickly, an algorithm will likely surplus your job before you graduate.

This is just one example of many, indicating that the old mind-centered process of finding our way no longer works. During slower moving times, it was safe to take the events of the past and apply them to the future – but no more.

If the mind centered system of navigation is failing us, where do we turn for guidance? How do we find our way when the future is not only uncertain, but unprecedented? Is there some secret hookup that will allow us a peek at the quantum level to see what’s cooking? Can we evolve our methodology through spiritual connection?

With us this hour to explore our options is Sara Wiseman, a visionary spiritual teacher and award-winning author of numerous books on spirituality and intuition, including her latest: “Messages from the Divine: Wisdom for the Seeker’s Soul.” She’s reached tens of thousands of students worldwide via Intuition University, and writes the award-winning Daily Divine blog. Sara has also released four new age music albums.

Evolution of Consciousness


Evolution of Consciousness
~ Gwilda Wiyaka ~
It’s fairly clear that the old ways are rapidly failing as we are confronted with the threat of global climate change, mass extinction of species, gross overpopulation and unstable global political relations.
It would appear our consciousness desperately needs to evolve beyond our current beliefs and tactics quickly if we are to survive as a species.
Yet evolution is a very complicated business. It requires totally rethinking our entire concept of what is and is not possible as, quite frankly, from the current perspective we are already out of time.
We have created, and continue to propagate, a very mono-dimensional reality – one based on false history, and group fear of a grim future.
Dirac’s Equation, which is mathematically consistent, demonstrates that causality is located equal parts past and future, with the waves propagating toward the present. This multidimensional concept has some very interesting implications.
It would imply that our reality originates from equal parts past and future and manifests in the present.
How does the widespread practice of history being rewritten by the winner of the latest war, combined with the group victim mentality that the future is something set in stone, impact our present experience?
Can we actually transform our world by embracing a more multidimensional concept of reality?

Our guest this hour, Sean Kelly, Ph.D., is professor of Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS).  He is the author of “Coming Home: The Birth and Transformation of the Planetary Era,” co-editor of “The Variety of Integral Ecologies: Nature, Culture, and Knowledge in the Planetary Era,” and co-translator of Edgar Morin’s “Homeland Earth: A manifesto for the New Millennium.” Sean’s teaching and research are inspired by the conviction that many of us are being called to participate actively in the awakening of Gaia, our planet-home, guided by the twin virtues of wisdom and compassion, in service of the entire Earth community.

Evolving Through the Marriage of Spirit and Activism


Evolving Through the Marriage of Spirit and Activism
~ Gwilda Wiyaka ~
During the last twenty or so years, there has been much time, effort and study spent on spirituality and personal growth. Libraries and book stores (both brick and mortar and online) continue to be filled with self-help books, with more being published daily.

Yet we are experiencing unprecedented ecological, economic and cultural crises. From oceans of plastic, air pollution, and deteriorating ozone layer, to climate change, melting ice caps and the threat of nuclear war, our very existence is being threatened on a global scale.

It would appear that sitting around meditating and contemplating our navel is not enough to solve the massive challenges we face.

Quite frankly, we are rapidly running out of time. 

I don’t know about you but I’m open to suggestions on how to move forward.

Hopefully our guest this hour can offer some viable options. With us is TERRY PATTEN. Terry speaks and consults internationally as a community organizer, philosopher, and teacher. Over the last fifteen years, he has devoted his efforts to the integral project of evolving consciousness through practice, and facing, examining, and healing our global crises through the marriage of spirit and activism.
Patten is also a social entrepreneur involved in supporting restorative redwood forestry, innovating new technological alternatives to fossil fuels, and creating new currencies for a sustainable economy. Most recently, he is the author of “A New Republic of the Heart: An Ethos for Revolutionaries.”
