What's Arising?

We live in an amazing time where our access to vast knowledge and information is right at our fingertips and expanding at exponential rates, especially now with the emergence of AI. This has come with tremendous benefits for individuals and humanity, but is there a 'dark side'? Can the accumulation of knowledge be limiting our capacity to access wisdom and truth? In this podcast, I'll explore and contrast some of the light or positive aspects of accumulating knowledge, with the power and possibilities of letting go of what we think we know, embracing uncertainty and exploring our world with open inquiry and the wholeness of heart.

Slowly, surely, the truth about many things is now being exposed. We’re finding out that we’ve each been ‘betrayed’ on many levels. This is propelling humanity into ever larger waves of shock, anger, denial, and depression. These shock-waves, also fuelled by unprocessed past grief, are growing in intensity and threaten to destroy everything in their path. In this podcast, I look at what is and will be arising in our world as the truth comes out. We’ll look at what is unfolding in the world through the lens of ‘the Grief Cycle’ to give context to the social unrest arising in our world. Expect very rough seas ahead as we navigate these seas of unprecedented change. While it may get rough, there are healthy ways to ride out the storm and get safely to the other side. Together, we can get through this!

In this podcast, I explore the practice of asking, “What is true?” or “Is this true?” In the coming years, this may be one of the most important questions to ask yourself. We already live in a world where it is difficult to know what is true. Misinformation, fake news, propaganda, censorship, and other corruptions will only expand in the era of AI, so the truth will get harder and harder to detect. Getting good at discerning ‘what’s true” starts with becoming aware of and the letting go of the conditioning of our own mind. We need to be acutely aware of the stories and unknown lies we are telling ourselves. Asking 'What is true?" or “Is this true” helps us cut through all the crap – the stories, meanings, beliefs, assumptions, judgments, and opinions that arise out of the mind and hold us in the lies and falsehoods.

What would FLOW look like or feel like for you? What if you could anticipate what was on the horizon of your life and rather than struggle or push to accomplish your goals, you flowed towards them? In this podcast, I invite you to ANTICIPATE what ‘wants’ to happen FOR you in 2024, find your stream, and flow with it. Why struggle to swim upstream or in the ‘wrong’ stream when LIFE is ready to show you an easier way to true prosperity and freedom? I’ll share about ‘Gene Key 41’ (from The Gene Keys by Richard Rudd), which is about the way of anticipation. This is the perfect insight to begin your journey into the New Year. I’ll also share about ‘Gene Key 37’ which I anticipate is within my own flow and on the horizon for this great shift in the human experience. Gene Key 37 is about equality and reuniting the human family. It is increasingly the stream that I am called to swim in and is at the heart of my new program, ‘Cohering Community’ to be released in 2024.

Synchronicity and 'flow' states are among the most powerful, life affirming experiences we can have. They surprise us and delight us. They give us hope and demonstrate that we are truly not alone in this world. Through synchronicity we get a deep sense that there is a benevolent force guiding us into our best life - if we are willing let go of our attachments, open up to being surprised, trust, and follow the path revealed to us in these magical moments! You cannot make synchronicity happen. It is out of your control. However, you can create conditions to increase their frequency. In this podcast, I share some personal stories of synchronicity and give you some tips and hints on how to create conditions where the miracle of synchronicity becomes your constant companion.

What is pain? From where does it arise? How can you/we bring an end to pain? Studies show that chronic pain (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual) is in increasing in our world. Around 20 percent of people in North America say they have chronic pain. 1 in 8 suffer from some kind of emotional/mental challenges including anxiety, loneliness and depression. Pain is at epidemic proportions. In this What's Arising podcast, we'll explore pain from a metaphysical and holistic perspective. I'll tell some stories of personal experiences in healing physical and emotional pain. I'll also share some tips on how to discover the root causes of your pain, so that you can heal it or reduce its impact. Links: Shadow-work gets to the root of pain, healing the trauma, beliefs and story at the source. https://www.wisdomways.net/shadowintegration/ Emotional pain is associated with 'belonging'. You are invited to check out our Cohering Community project to learn about, experience and lead circles of belonging. https://www.elevatework.ca/CoheringCommunity/ Link to Lazaris's audio teaching on "Ending the Pain" that I mention in the podcast: https://www.lazaris.com/shop-product/healing-and-well-being/health-and-healing/ending-the-pain/

This episode has a similar theme to the last one on "Ending All War" but it seems to be arising again and again, so perhaps it is worth repeating in another way. Resolving conflict is generally difficult. Emotions are highly charged. The risk of being hurt or hurting the other is high. Rather than resolving conflict with love, compassion and understanding, it becomes more about whether we win or lose the war. We often get stuck in blame, shame and right/wrong thinking. So what is the way out? THE WAY OUT IS IN. At the root of most conflict is 'Shadow', especially conflict that is highly charged. If we are going to fully resolve conflicts within ourselves, our relationships, and our world, we need to look deeper than the surface symptoms and heal the underlying trauma and shadows at the root of the conflict.

This podcast focuses on shadow-work and why shadow integration is essential if we are going to effectively navigate and survive the difficult times arising in our world. The dangerous times ahead of us also represent an opportunity for a great leap in human consciousness. There is the potential to wake up and begin co-creating a world without war; a world with lasting peace. But there is work to do. There are choices for each of us to make. Humanity is at a crossroad.

Any change, including positive change, can kick in a grief cycle because in order for the new to come in, something needs to be let go. Something is lost. With the rapid and accelerating change and disruption in our world today, in order to stay in balance and retain our sanity, we all need to get good at grief. The challenge is that many people avoid or don't know how to deeply grieve, and let go of the past. The new cycles of grief, piled onto the heavy bags of unprocessed grief carried from the past can be so overwhelming that even little things can upset us. Upset is a 'set-up' or signal that we are sill holding onto something. Grieving, forgiving and surrendering are essential practices to move forward and navigate in these tumultuous times. Our well-being and survival depends on it. Shadow Integration work: https://www.wisdomways.net/shadowintegration/

In this podcast, I talk about the increasing levels of distrust throughout our society with the accompanying reactions of increasing control, conflict, anxiety, fear, censorship, and surveillance. Without trust, our relationships, communities, institutions and social systems disintegrate or become rigid. Without self-trust we get stuck; closing down our hearts and minds. But what can we actually trust in life? How can we reestablish trust in ourselves, in others and with our communities? In returning to trust, what possibilities arise? Links: Shadow-integration is a return to self-love and self-trust: Cohering Community is a small group experience aimed at rebuilding trust and genuine connection with others.

In this podcast, I talk about evil arising. Is evil more prevalent in our world today? Has the collective consciousness somehow been 'possessed' by evil entities? Is shadow arising? I share some personal experiences with encountering and releasing entity possession and contrast entity possession with Shadow. Although shadow can feel or look like evil, it is different and dealt with entirely different from possession. Learn about Shadow Integration Work: https://www.wisdomways.net/shadowintegration/

The nature of reality and the nature of nature is vibration, waves. As a wave, everything, including our bodies are a process/vibration/movement rather than a 'thing'. All waves have peaks and valleys, but they are one whole process; undivided. This is the nature of waves. Emotions are waves with interdependent peaks and valleys. While we have little control over the waves of emotions or choices of others, we can still our own wave and joyfully ride the waves of human experience from a place of stillness and non-duality. By stilling (not controlling) our emotional waves (non-attachment), we can 'influence' the waves of others rather than getting pulled into or attuning to the dramatic waves of the world. In stillness there is peace. Shadow integration work is aimed at stilling our wave, releasing the emotional charge and peacefully riding the waves of life through all its peaks and valleys, its births and deaths. https://www.wisdomways.net/shadowintegration/

Wars are arising everywhere. The war for land, resources, or to exist. There is the war against drugs, crime, disease, poverty, CO2, misinformation. These outer wars are all symptoms of the greater unconscious war we are waging against parts of the self, a persistent inner war which cannot be resolved "out there" until we surrender the inner war and integrate the shadow. Here there is peace. In this podcast, I reference two opposing forces as portrayed by Rudolf Steiner(Ahriman & Lucifer) and in the SciFi TV series, Babylon 5. (The Shadows & Vorlons). Who are you? What do you want? What is the middle way? Shadow Integration: https://www.wisdomways.net/shadowintegration/ Book a Discovery Session with Richard: https://calendly.com/wisdomways/discovery-call

In this podcast, I reflect on the present and unavoidable descent of humanity into a "Dark Night of the Soul." On the other side of this dark night is the potential for a great leap in human consciousness - a great light arising from the ashes. However, to actualize this potential, we need to let go of and forgive our old stories of separation. We can each assist humanity in pulling out of the darkness by doing our own inner work by healing our wounds and shining light into our own shadows.

What if life was actually a dream? What if we realized that WE ARE THE DREAMER and can then consciously, rather then unconsciously, co-create our human experience? Our sleeping dreams, filled with horrific to joyful experiences, seem real when we are having them, but when we wake up, we realize they never happened. Many people have also experienced being lucid inside their sleeping dreams, using the dream to receive profound insight into waking life. What if our life was being dreamt up by a 'Higher Self'? What insights and possibilities could arise if we became lucid within life? What if the purpose of life was to wake up? "Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream.

With the current state of the world with a convergence of existential threats to our way of life, what can we do? How do we find peace within ourselves and with each other. This podcast suggests that in the words of Gandhi, we can 'Be The Change that we want to see in the world'. When and as we get more connected with the essence of who we are in our wholeness, life will show us the way forward with profound insight into what we can do and become.
