The Heart of Soul

Today, I’m joined by Eric Grace and our special guest, Frank, to discuss his journey of EBE which began way back in the days of 1.0. Topics include why the collapse of the first version of the paradigm was a good thing, cultic dynamics, how a paradigm can’t evolve if it’s protector mediated, how Sagehood and Personhood work can co-exist, the nature of healthy authority dynamics, and more. And I ha...

Today, I’m joined by Eric Grace and our special guest, Chelsie, to discuss her journey of EBE. Topics include plant medicine and psychedelics, dead-ending, manifestation paradigms, navigating entertainment, forgiveness, doubt space, and more. Special thanks to Chelsie for being brave, vulnerable, and sharing her journey with such clarity and heart. Thanks very much to our new podcast members for b...

To tip us or become a member please visit: clearandopen.com/hos Today, I’m joined by Casey Keth and Eric Grace to discuss the wounded existential not-knowing, the loss of will, yin and yang in service, among other topics. And I have a big announcement to make, we’re going to try something new. Our audience has been growing and we’re getting more and more questions, which we hugely appreciate…and I...

Today, Eric Grace joins me again and we discuss what I learned from being bullied in a hardware store, the archetype of Freddy Krueger, overidentifying with compassion, stages of awakening, pseudo multiculturalism, and honestly so many other things I don’t even remember because I didn’t take notes. And this will be my last plug for my new course that starts, April 17, 2025. It’s called The Art of...

Today, Edenity’s take on assisted suicide, in-vitro fertilization, dealing with conflict, and of course another installment of GTG. Also, I have a new course starting April 17, 2025. It’s called The Art of Open Connection: Deep listening, insight and truth. If I’ve impressed you at all with my awareness and intelligence, I’ll let you in on something. I wasn’t always like this and it can be learned...

Of course, another edition of Guess the Guru with reigning champion, Eric Grace. Also, I have a new course starting April 17, 2025. It’s called The Art of Open Connection: Deep listening, insight and...

Today, existential disorientation triggers from daylight savings time, more frequently asked questions about EBE, adult relating to parents, criteria that qualifies someone to help others, the balance between meeting people where they are versus pushing them to move through their issues, and much more.  Thanks for listening.

Today, Eric Grace and I take some listener questions about highly sensitive people and what a healthy relationship with parents looks like as an adult. We chip away at some frequently asked questions as well, including a juicy rabbit hole about the differences between EBE and Internal Family Systems which is the model that looks most similar to EBE from a distance. And Eric takes his first swing a...

Today, a special edition of the podcast where I read a piece of couple’s psychology to my friend and colleague Anja Schugardt. I’m coining a term in the title of this episode, “Feministic Psychology” to encapsulate what’s going on here.  The piece I’ll be reading is by a woman named Nicole LePera, but she’s not the only psychologist out there synthesizing feminism into psychology and calling...

Today, a very rich conversation with my friend and colleague Eric Grace, who you’ve heard before on previous episodes. We talk about many things, and continue some of the frequently asked questions about EBE already in progress, but the main theme is what I’m calling the “myth of attainment” and is a hypothesis that redefines what attainment actually is in sage and sainthood if one begins with per...

Today, benchmarks on the path of EBE, demedications, what completion of EBE feels like, responsibilities of the facilitant, and other frequently asked questions as we continue this series. And of course, another riveting installment of Guess the Guru! Thanks for listening.

Today, the distinction between creation- and creator-relational sainthood, objective vs. subjective reality in the context of spirituality, and some practical things you can do to deepen your relationship with Divinity. And of course, another riveting installment of Guess the Guru! Thanks for listening.

Today, incarnational imperatives in service, (by request) definitions of duality, preduality, and unality, and a couple new revisions to some old Edenity prayers. We’ll do more on Sainthood in the following episode, but this is a beginning to follow the thread we began last time. And of course, another installment of Guess the Guru that surprised the hell out of Stace, so stay tuned for that! Than...

Today, some important Sainthood metacontext following our last episode and to set up for the following one: topics include the domains of authentication, origination, and provination; why it makes perfect sense that suffering must be addressed emotively, holoarchal versus hierarchical models for Divinity, and of course, another edition of Guess the Guru. Will Stace continue his winning streak? Lis...

Today, our first episode of 2025, we debrief my experience at a spiritual community’s holiday party, and make paradigmatic sense of why there was too much dessert and not enough dinner. Yes folks, this is how powerful paradigmatic processing of reality can be. Join us for an exploration of a class of paradigms we’ve not explored before, and so coining the now canonical term, “Magical Neo Vedanta.”...

Today, the nature of holiday conditioning, why every mythology needs a virgin birth, the difference between real and true, deconstructing faith and belief, and back by popular demand, another edition of “Guess the Guru.”

Today, the unalistic dynamic that unites the three hoods in enheartenment consciousness, the emergent soul-I, the reward that awaits you on the other side of the existential Bardo. Finally, our second installment of “Guess the Guru” to incentivize you to listen all the way to the end. Play at home and earn Edenity points! Quick reminder that I’ll be on Eric Grace’s clubhouse tomorrow, December 14,...

Hi, it’s Josef and thanks for listening to The Heart of Soul Podcast. Today, deconstructing a passage from an enlightened teacher and making Stace play “guess the name,” (you can play along at home!), the seduction of shakti, and why sexual abuse happens so commonly among neo-Buddhist teachers. And just a quick reminder, coming up soon in Eric Grace’s clubhouse: Soulful unfoldments w/Eric, Josef &...

Today, introducing communality consciousness, how Edenity would say that Trump’s election was God’s will but for a counter-intuitive reason, and what support actually means.

Today, we debrief the results of the U.S. presidential election and what it means on a spiritual level. We revisit the will vs. love issue as played out between the two major parties, how Trump’s election is a long-term win, and more playouts of extreme subjectivism. Thanks for listening.

Today, a 2024 U.S. presidential election special! We discuss the referendum on greed vs. altruism before us, the difference between a republic and a democracy, the possibility of a government being redesigned while it’s still running, and perhaps most importantly the real meaning behind the 80s band “Devo.” I invited Eric Grace to join us today, and speaking of Eric: I want to let you know about a...

Today, unality, preduality, and duality, from essence to expression with metaphysics wrapped up in a bow so tight, you’ll think it’s October 1st in Venezuela and Christmas came early. We make some deep cuts at love versus energy, that which is behind that which is behind all things, and how exactly human existence is an expression of Divinity.
