New Ways of Being

Guests on this episode are Brian Swimme, well-known cosmologist, and Monica DeRaspe-Bolles, philosopher. They co-authored the book "The Story of the Noosphere" and, because the noosphere is consciousness on Earth, it clearly relates to the topic of consciousness and changing the world. You will find this conversation to be fascinating and enlightening. Brian and Monica devoted years in fully understanding the noosphere - a term that Pierre Teilhard de Chardin that made famous - and they offer a perspective that is important to humanity at this time of crisis in the world. The noosphere is the sphere of collective consciousness on Earth and is dominated by human consciousness and interpersonal relationships. Cosmologically, B&M clearly also understand that the evolution of the noosphere is directly related to the unified consciousness of the universe and its progressive physical and conscious evolution. They pointed out that the noosphere is actively participating in, and even guiding, its own conscious evolution. So when we talk about raising human consciousness, it is a collective act of the noosphere, and consciousness is continuously evolving on Earth in both inner and outer aspects. The external world always reflects our level of consciousness in how we behave, what we create, and in all relationships. Right now the state of the world is telling us it's time for all human beings to pay more attention to our inner states of being, become more aware, and live more consciously of the world as a whole.

My guest in this episode is Ben Bowler who is the Executive Director of Unity Earth, and I loved this conversation because he's an interesting guy and a perfect fit for his role building a "global network dedicated to fostering peace, purpose, and interspiritual understanding through events such as World UNITY Week and Peace Week". He has been described as a unity activist and spiritual entrepreneur, and he has had diverse spiritual and cultural experiences in China, Burma, Thailand, and elsewhere since growing up in Australia. In 2008, he helped found World Weavers, a spiritual adventures enterprise, and remains actively involved with them. We talked about interspirituality, a term coined by Wayne Teasdale, which goes beyond interfaith to include and embrace spirituality beyond religions and includes indigenous traditions and honors both the oneness and uniqueness of all traditions. UNITY EARTH is very focused on bringing greater unity and peace to the world, but Bowler emphasized that the goal (for all of us) must be to raise human consciousness because that is a prerequisite for peace. He said that he's very optimistic about peace in the world because he sees the steady expansion of consciousness occurring everywhere. You can learn more Ben Bowler at the UNITY.EARTH website.

If you want to learn about raising consciousness and what that has to do with changing the world, watch this episode with guest Dr. Julie Krull. All of my episodes on "Consciousness and Changing the World" are the real deal and very insightful and helpful, but Julie is a true wayshower who is leading the way on this subject. She had a near death experience at age 4 that enabled her to begin talking with God, and at age 11 she was given a "picture" of how she could help humanity evolve. We talked about how the evolutionary impulse is moving through humanity now and awakening people to the need to shift to higher consciousness. She said the divine Source is present in the world and the transformation is being guided. It happens through embodying our inherent divinity which allows us to realize a new more joyful, creative, vibrant way of being. Don't miss this one!

In this episode, my guest is Valeria Koopman, podcaster, author, and founder of Fit for Joy: Garden of Well-Being, a non-profit which includes a new Joylab healing center in Kaua'i Hawaii. We had a wonderful conversation about consciousness, awakening, healing, and much more. She told her story of how suffering and trauma drove her to learn about her whole self (body, mind, and spirit) and to reach out to others to learn more. Along the way, she began her widely-known podcast and wrote 4 books. She said that a key in finding well-being is not to use spirituality as an escape but rather to take a wholistic view of oneself. She said that suffering occurs when you focus only on the small limited self, and it will dissolve when you become more awake, aware, alive, free, and especially when you come to know ourself as an expression of the divine. Then we can become healthy and whole in body, mind, and spirit. We are here to share, be part of community, and serving the greater whole.

You will love Tezikeah Gabriel in this episode. She is the executive director of Pathways to Peace, and she is also a well-known consultant to non-profit organizations through Gabriel Associates. We talked about changing the world through unitive consciousness, and in her role working for peace in the world, she shares, teaches, and applies unitive consciousness - which she defines as a deep awareness that all is one - every day. She said this: "Unitive consciousness is about bringing love into every interaction and into everything you do.", and "If you practice it, you will see the world in a whole new light, love will come back to you many times over, and life will expand in wonderous ways." That is indeed what higher consciousness and love are, and it doesn't have to be hard. This was a delightful conversation that you won't want to miss.

My guest Robert Atkinson is one of the evolutionary leaders when it comes to human consciousness, raising consciousness, unity, wholeness, and oneness. In this conversation we talked about two of his 12 books: The Way of Unity (August 2025) and The Story of Our Times (2017), both of which explain that we can indeed change the world by shifting our consciousness from duality (or separation) to oneness (or unity). He said his newest book has 3 parts. Part 1 talks about how we can understand the universe as an expression of unity, wholeness, and peace. Part 2 is about recognizing the process of unification/evolution that applies to both individuals and the collective, and it spells out 9 unitive principles that he recommends. Part 3 goes into some detail about communities in the world that already operate on unitive principles. He said there is a meta unitive principle that is: Consciousness evolves towards greater unity and wholeness, and since consciousness is universal, the universe is always evolving towards higher consciousness. He shared much more wisdom so be sure to watch or listen to this episode. Learn more about him at RobertAtkinson.net. Learn more about me at RaymondPosch.com, and email me at ray@raymondposch.com.

Ora Nadrich is a well-known mindfulness teacher and author of Says Who?, Live True, and Time to Awaken, and she is my guest in this episode to talk about how we can change the world by raising our consciousness. She defines mindfulness as present moment awareness - that is, being aware in the present. You can be aware of your thoughts, feelings, and sensory information about the world. When you are giving your full attention to what someone else is saying to you, that is true mindfulness. But people often "half listen" to what someone is saying and give the other half of their attention to thinking about what they want to say next or other things. Being fully aware is a very powerful way of becoming more conscious. She also said that people often give their attention to negative and fear-based thoughts and don't question those thoughts, and that is disempowering or even self-destructive. This episode is full of her wisdom on mindfulness and making a difference in the world. DON'T MISS IT! Learn more about Ora at OraNadrich.com.

My guest in this episode is Patricia Albere, well known spiritual teacher and, in recent years, leader of breakthroughs in evolutionary consciousness. In 1971-1974 she experienced unity (2 as 1) with another person. In 2015 she started working to share the unitive experience with others. It began with the practice of Mutual Awakening and has now moved to a new level of shifting as a group into a higher level beingness called forth by evolution itself. It is a series of temporary experiences, but she believes people in the future will be able to move into a new shared reality state at any time. Divine consciousness is exploring into this new reality with people who are ready.

In this book, I talk again about the value of hearing God's words as taken directly from God's messages. I read chapters 15-17 from the book Awaken the Species by Neale Donald Walsch. He channeled a lengthy conversation (over many weeks) on the topic of awakening humanity to their true nature - which is as sentient beings within and part of the Divine unity of the conscious, living, and purposefully evolving Universe. The chapters in the book are relatively short but full of much wisdom. These 3 chapters are about the first 4 behaviors (from a list of 16) of highly evolved beings. Evolution of sentient species, to be clear, is all about evolving in consciousness. When you understand the nature of the Universe, as recently understood by science, it brings this discussion into much clearer and more helpful focus.

This is a follow-on to the previous episode in which I said that humanity is at a tipping point between evolving (to higher consciousness and unlimited potential) or devolving to a self-destroyed civilization. I read chapters 13 and 14 from the book Conversations With God Book 4: Awaken the Species by Neale Donald Walsch in order to share God's words about how humanity can evolve following the pattern of highly evolved beings and by building on the knowing that we are highly intelligent beings who can choose to live ever more consciously and in doing so create a new world and a grand future for all. The latest science shared by Dr. Jude Currivan and many others, says that the fundamental thing in the universe is consciousness and that everything in the universe is part of a unified whole that is conscious, evolving, and good in its nature. (Listen to episode 35.) Love is the unifying and creative force that arises for the universal consciousness and enables creation and the process of continuous evolution.

This episode is focused on the issue that humanity is coming to a tipping point after which humanity will either evolve or devolve. Our evolution is specifically conscious evolution, which implies evolution of human consciousness, and because of the very nature of consciousness, it means we begin to grow as a species and begin to change the world for the better and create better lives for all. Devolution, on the other hand, implies that things get worse, likely with major wars and all social systems falling into full breakdown or collapse, and human civilization likely to collapse as well. I'm calling on all humans - Gaians are those who see the Earth as a living entity that is evolving along with us - to choose the path of evolution. The episode was recorded totally ad hoc, unscripted and with only a rough outline, so it is unpolished for sure, but it is the authentic me telling the audience that we do have the potential to come together and choose evolution. It begins by more people becoming aware of what conscious evolution is and then choosing the path of conscious evolution.

This episode has a new channeled message from the Council of Highly Evolved Beings. In it they remind everyone of the importance of paying attention to your own happiness and well-being. Know your values and give them priority in your life. Be aware of who you are, what you want for yourself, and how you are living your life to truly reflect your priorities. Too many people "put up with" feeling unhappy, frustrated, and unfulfilled. You must take responsibility for your own happiness and fulfillment. Learn more about me at RaymondPosch.com, and you can contact me at ray@raymondposch.com.

My guest in this episode is Adam Howland, author of the book "The UnTruth of Kindness". We talked about experiences and perspectives in our own lives and how those have changed our understanding of ourselves and the universe that we are part of. Adam came to believe that light and love are the energies that interconnect life and all things. For him, learning a mindfulness practice led to breakthroughs and awakenings. And he shared his struggles to get family members and others to open and up and have conversations about spirituality. But we agreed that it is useful and important if we can get others to open up and have mutual explorations of life and ideas and that can begin by simply being curious and asking questions without being threatening or defensive.

It is not a single step; it is in fact a journey without end to higher states of being that will make life better and grander and filled with unlimited potential. Allow it to be fun and easy by taking step by step to higher and higher states of beingness in which life is expanding with joy and abundance as well as greater awareness. Opening your heart and living from your heart is key because you can't do it if you are stuck in your mind. And allow divine guidance along the way. Enjoy the journey!

This episode is a super-informative conversation with Swami Nityananda who heads the Awake Yoga Meditation community in Baltimore, Maryland. The conversation focused on how we can change our consciousness to be happier and more fulfilled in our lives and even change the world. Swami points out that conscious creation is everyone's divine birthright since we are all part of the Divine - even if we're not aware of that fact or how to use that knowledge. You are able to pay attention and choose, and that is central to conscious creation. You tell the Divine what you want more of by going within and asking yourself what you would love to create, then feel the feeling of having it, and come back to that feeling often. Becoming aware and choosing enable you to shift your consciousness. Be that which you desire. Be the love and be the abundance you desire. I strongly recommend that you listen to Swami's wonderfully clear explanations of how to respond to life's challenges and then open to the best in life instead.

In this episode Raymond Posch channeled a new message from the Council of Highly Evolved Beings. The message covered love, subtle energy, awakening, one consciousness, inner resources, and more, but it's most important message was that you must come to know your divine beingness. Divine beingness is our essence and the most powerful way of being available to us. The episode also included an energy exercise that is a helpful tool for shifting into powerful states that can heal and empower us. And a beingness exercise was also included to help us come to have an inner knowing and experience of who we are as our true self. Learn more about me at RaymondPosch.com, and you can contact me at ray@raymondposch.com.

Amit Goswami is a retired theoretical quantum physicist who "broke the mold" of physicists back in 1993 by realizing that quantum discoveries actually require the existence of fundamental consciousness (i.e., outside of space and time) to explain how quantum waves collapse into particles. He published his understanding in The Self-Aware Universe: How Consciousness Creates the Material World, a book that had a profound influence on me at the time. In this episode, Amit and I had a fascinating conversation about the role of consciousness and how shifting our level of consciousness can allow humans to change our relationships with the world - for the better and the good of all. Amit founded the Center for Quantum Activism in 2018 and has written 12 books since then to promote the goal of producing "quantum leaders" based on understanding quantum science and the primacy of consciousness and what that explains about the universe.

This episode features a new message from the Council of Highly Evolved Beings. This is another powerful teaching that could be considered a mini-course, and it's all about creating the life you would love. Key aspects of doing that are to live more fully in present moment awareness with ever-growing attention to love and wholeness. Wholeness refers to relating to the one consciousness of the universe with a deep knowing that you are part of that whole, and that one consciousness is a divine beingness that will fully support you if you allow and trust it to do so. The one consciousness is pure love and is the source of all energy, creation, knowing, and life itself. It is One Life and is continuously manifesting itself in the physical realm, and we can participate fully in that co-creative process. UPDATE: LISTENING TO THIS RECORDING WILL ACTIVATE LOVE, WHOLENESS, AND CO-CREATION WITHIN YOU. (It happened to me a day after I listened to it.) Learn more about me at RaymondPosch.com, and you can contact me at ray@raymondposch.com. Love yourself always, and choose to awaken!

In this episode, my guest is Rev. Deborah Moldow, who has had noteworthy experiences in the areas of peace, unity, consciousness, and human transformation especially in her years with the United Nations and more recently as the directior of the Evolutionary Leaders, a project of the Source of Synergy Foundation. We had a great, wide-ranging conversation about raising human consciousness and how that enables us to change the world. She said: "We have been self-limited by our own mental constructs, but we can grow beyond those constructs and our self-defined limits." and "Be a witness [to the problems and dissolution of old ways of being] but don't dispair. Instead stay in your higher consciousness." And I especially loved her concluding remarks: "There will come a time when the light of new consciousness will be seen for what it is. Together we are birthing something new and special. And all are welcome to join in this process of evolution."

In this episode, the Council of Highly Evolved Beings shares a message about learning to shift to higher levels of consciousness and about beginning to experience the infinite potential that is available to you. You are a spiritual being having a human experience and therefore have unlimited potential. You are not the limited, ego-based being that you believe yourself to be. And the Council reminds us that it requires opening and allowing ourselves to expand our awareness with infinite potential in mind. We will notice that doesn't last so we must catch ourself and shift to higher states of beingness again and again until we begin to believe it and live it. It is a process of learning to be more aware and to make expanded awareness a habit. I loved this message from the Council, and it certainly is a matter of learning just how amazing, and really beyond our imagination, that our infinite potential truly is. Learn more about me at RaymondPosch.com, and you can contact me at ray@raymondposch.com.
