So many of us, who consider ourselves to be more or less spiritual beings; so many of us, who consider ourselves to be Christian, or Muslim, or Buddhist, or Taoist, or any other religion, believe that being good means helping...
So, we’ve spent the past 2 shows talking about the reality of real life in a dualistic world with its darkness and its blindness. Today we’re focusing on that elusive bliss—evidence for many of enlightenment. Bliss, joy, ecst...
Must we have the dark to see the light? Is that the only purpose of darkness? Must we have the evil to see the good? What is the point? During this show we are going to explore the purpose of life from the perspective of dark...
My mother used to have a saying. She had a lot of those. But one she used to say a lot was: She/he wouldn’t know truth if it flew up and hit her/him in the face. And you know, sometimes she was right. Truth is, as they say, r...
Okay, now that I have your attention—let’s talk about intimacy. Real intimacy—of which sex is but a small, though important, part. Primary relationships—these are those had between a husband and wife, or two partners, whether...

Why don’t we have wings? I mean, think about it. We can do just about everything else, but we can’t fly, I mean, not without an airplane. Why not? Well, it could be because we are meant to grow our own set. And the kind of wi...
We don’t generally think of awakening as a process of accepting what is. But our guest today has been working in Great Britain to awaken a generation of spiritual inquirers to the experience of abiding presence and peace in o...
The problem with all of our talk about manifesting, is that we don’t ever consider asking what it is within us that manifests. Jesus once said “I can do nothing of my own initiative.” And yet with all the talk out there about...
How do people deliberately create the life they want—without creating it out of the intention of duality? Duality resides within us as a force, an energy to which we’ve given a lot of power. It tells us what to do based on th...
We’ve heard of the spirit of Christmas past, present and future. But what is the spirit of a new beginning? What is a new beginning? Here we are just a few weeks into the end of the Mayan calendar—have we begun again? Are the...

This is that time of year when we talk about it. We sing about it. We even pray about it. But no one really believes that we are actually going to have peace on earth, right? I mean, look around man! You can’t really believe ...
When Don Miguel Ruiz was a young boy, his grandfather told him many stories from the Toltec Tradition. One of these was the story of the sleeping giant—who represents unaware humanity. He was told then that one day in Mexico,...
We are so excited this week to have Dr. Clarissa Pinkoa Estés (Dr. E, as she is affectionately known) back on our show for the fifth time. Bestselling author of “Women Who Run with the Wolves,” which sold over a million copie...
If you had the choice, right now, as to whether you would live or die, what reason would you give for staying alive? What do we live for? Or do we just live? Or perhaps, we just survive. These are not questions about life-pur...
We are so excited this week to have Marianne Williamson on the Authentic Living Show to talk to us about her latest NY Times Bestseller, A Course in Weight Loss: 21 Spiritual Lessons for Surrendering Your Weight Forever. Most...
So much talk out there about transforming. Transforming yourself, in particular. But how does a dualistic mindset transform consciousness? Can we transform ourselves, or is that something that comes about as a result of knowi...
According to much of the literature written by those who are a part of the human potential movement, fear is a big fat no, no. We are simply not supposed to have fear—because, as we’ve learned, fear is the opposite of love. Y...
You know there’s lots of people out there telling us all kinds of things about heaven—where, what, who and how it is. Mostly it’s a place we go after we die—IF that is, we are among the chosen ones. And when it’s spoken of in...
The word “enlightenment” has taken on commercial overtones. It’s a keyword for SEO experts, it’s used in TV sitcoms and commercials and it’s the goal of most of those who are participants in the human potential movement. So, ...
“Drama Queen!” Yeah, that’s what we call those people who seem to be addicted to drama. But the truth is that we are all addicted to drama. In fact, we are so addicted that when the truth of our lives is presented to us, we w...
Everybody seems to be looking for their individual purpose now. Unfortunately, that means that people are constantly measuring themselves to see if they are living up to some noble purpose, instead of realizing that very ofte...
