Heart As Compass

Ease drop in on a passionate conversation about why we are spiritual beings, the illusion that we cannot ask why human beings suffer, and much, much more as we have a contemporary discussion about spiituality that is important. At a time when 'fake news' is dominating the headlines, integrity in our inner lives is essential. This is the gift of learning the soul's intent.

Bridge building is an important step in moving between the worlds of ego and soul. Spiritual beings or incarnated souls in the face of overwhelming psychological forces requires its construction and care. One plus one equals a third thing (creation) when the bridge is functional. Otherwise, we polarize to one side of the equation and see our potential of wholeness in the distance but never realize...

The soul orchestrates life for us to see on the outside what is happening internally. It turns out, this is a profound way to see what it is we need to change. Most think it is the other way around. If I can just get my life in order 'out here' everything will fall in place on the inside. Few realize spiritual growth is an inside-out process not the reverse. In this way, there is no better teacher...

From the soul's perspective we are whole and more than enough. The Soul's Intent is for us to BE fully in this moment without restriction. Meanwhile, the ego is concerned about whether we are deserving, worthy, or good enough. In one reality we are free to love and exude authenticity. In the other, we are suffering for no apparent reason other than guilt or shame. The spiritual question is which r...

Self is defined as a continuity of consciousness where the ego enters this existence as a blank slate. Born with no innate ideas or right and wrong or true and false, knowledge (even enlightenment) is determined by the subjective experience that is you and I through our senses. The soul becomes constricted by these experiences until we shed the character we became to survive...to just simply BE.

We've all heard the dichotomy: “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” – Teilhard de Chardin - Such phrases are important as we seek a valid context for our lives. New wisdom on human suffering suggests: "We are spiritual beings having psychological experiences." -Vecchio-

Most people believe that it is good to have a healthy ego but there is nothing healthy about ego in the spiritual sense until it has been suffered awake. The ego tries to convince us that it is there to serve and protect us. It says, ‘Where would you be without me? I am the fire in your belly.’ *This show discusses the ego’s real ambition which is to separate and imprison us from other people and...

The human spirit is designed to provoke the ego awake which means our feeling re-action to the 'fated break’ from the soul is self-correcting. This can take a lifetime if we never realize that the Soul's Path is a conscious choice.

Spirituality defines soul as the essence of your human potential which is latent within you. We are told it is capable of being actualized and manifested in our daily lives. Most of us foget that the personality or ego is nothing more than a composite container of traits and atttributes used to adapt to our lives. Meanwhile, the soul is the contents of this container and a valid representation of...

Fear of being seen for fear of rejection, shame, or indifference is familiar to many. Spiritually, we know this as a transition from low confidence to becoming comfortable in out own skin. As we spend time in the dimension of fear we need to learn the art of self-reflection. This is different that being self-focused. One is ego the other is Soul.

The language of birthing capyures the cycles of spiritual growth. Imagine, in the beginning we were conceived, gestated, and became pregnant with potential. All that remained was to manifest who we are IN the world. Unfortunately for many, our labor has been extended becasue we've resisted the cycles of our own evolution. Showing up in our lives is the beginning.

The human spirit provokes the ego to move, change, and grow. Unaware of this relationship the ego will resist with indifference. The result is the inner noise of frustrating and angst. The Soul's Intent is that the spirit and ego work together to achieve presence.

One of the culture's great weaknesses is its naivete regarding the dark side of human nature. It gets conceptualized in different ways (like sin or evil) which blocks our capacity to know its deepest value. Carl Jung called this dark side the human shadow.

The soul’s intelligence takes us on a journey of self-recovery that makes us who we are while revealing the truth about who we've become. Merging the worlds of psychology and spirituality, this podcast speaks to the conditioning of the human mind as it lays out pathways to transform our conviction from believing in something to knowing the power of our existence.

Self-judgment is probably best understood spiritually as a form of inner motion. Particularly, as two forms of movement with respect to the dimension of truth: recollection and repetition. Recollection is understood as recovering a truth that is already present in the individual, which has been repressed or forgotten. This is a movement backwards, since it is retrieving knowledge from the past. Th...

Embarking on the spiritual journey is like coming up to the edge of a cliff. Everyone hesitates because the ego 'makes up' the leap will hurt them. Few realize we are seeing the height through the eyes of a child. In truth, we are more than capable of landing on our feet ~Vecchio~

The souls intent is that we recover who/what we were intended to BE before the interference of caretakers and culture. By learning to build a bridge between our spiritual and emotional-selves, we retrieve security and are less fearless inter-personally.

You've heard the phrase: 'Be yourself because everybody else is already taken." Why is this so difficult? The soul's reality is that it simply wants to be who, what, when, where, and why it was created. The ego's reality is that somehow this gets lost. This show speaks about the implicaton of not having an inner life and how this is the only way to retrieve the authentic self.

Spiritual people cannot accept that life is a failed experiment. Those who view life this way dominate the headlines weekly. Their guilt and shame are debilitating. What if our saving grace is actually granting ourselves mercy? This would mean freedom for time served-suffering. Imagine, no longer at the mercy of another but allowing your heart to make the choice.

New wisdom suggests that the ‘fated’ break from ourselves happens early. This means everything that happens after is a journey of realization. Feeling helpless and apathetic would mean that we've made up that WHERE we are from is WHO we are. There is not one incarnate soul that is the same as YOU. This is your truth. This is WHO you are!

Spiritual teachings advocate non-judgment. The soul’s intent is that we see human suffering as a natural part of being here. Imagine, many of us are swimming, imploding, and in the extreme, exploding from our suffering. New wisdom suggests this energy collects like morning dew to be used like a healing and self-correcting ointment. It’s not a coincidence that blood, sweat, and tears are matter(s)...

Deep in our heart there is a call to return to the source. The needle that points toward this true north is beyond the physical world. It connects us to our Soul’s intent in a way that nothing else can. If this intelligence is inside of us, why does life seem so hard? Whether we are looking for happiness, inner peace, or supreme enlightenment, no knowledge can propel us forward like our heart and...

The Soul's Intent is a way to be in the world. Future podcasts will teach Intentional Guided Evolution, Mediating Within, Gifted Compassion, the meaning of Spiritual Gravityand more. This show revisits the context of the book. Tune in as we discuss the wisdom of the soul's intelligence. Rather than wait for a moment of suffering, learn the 'self-corrective' worth of the adversity you've already ex...

From a spiritual perspective, the ego is that aspect of the self that distinguishes itself from others through identification. It is our sense of ‘I’ and ‘Me’ that approaches life through our thinking. Spiritually, our true essence is discovered through authentication of the Soul. As human beings, we can choose to live daily as consciously observing life as a true witness. Psychologically, ego is...
