The Heart of Soul
Do you have a strong sense that there’s something more? More to reality? More to you? Do you feel the weight of your childhood and cultural conditioning and despite having worked to shrug it off, see that it somehow remains? Do you intuit that the world could be a much healthier place? Have you learned about and tried different practices only to dead-end, leaving you to wonder, “Is this it?” Have the models you’ve learned left things out, left your deepest questions unanswered? The emotospiritual paradigm of Edenity addresses issues like these from an entirely different basis than other psycho...

Reality Summarized on a Page (HOS103) 25.10.2024 1:23:40
Today, the most fundamental metaphysics of Edenity, how they relate to the three primary soul fears, and a one pager that sums up over 100 podcast episodes. Fair warning: we’re referring to a chart that I have included in the Youtube version, so if you’re audio-only at the moment, you may want to go to the video. Thanks for listening.
Why We Choose Archetypal Soul Baggage (HOS102) 18.10.2024 1:21:25
We cover the scintillating and often misunderstood domain of past lives, archetypal souls, and what it means to you today. Why would anyone choose to bring a piece of an archetypal soul’s baggage into a human life? How should we relate to this? How does incarnational attribute planning work? These questions, including rabbit holes like how Mother Theresa set the stage for the collapse of the Catho...
Why People Don’t Do This Work (HOS101) 11.10.2024 1:24:34
Today, we celebrate our 100th episode with the ironic question, “Why do so few people do this work?” It was the only idea that came to me, along with two special guests, and I honestly thought we’d talk about something else, but it turned out to be a rich and real conversation. Related to why so few people do emotive body ensoulment, the entre to Edenity, we discuss the effect of the stage of Yin...
Celebrity Me/We Spacer Types (HOS100) 04.10.2024 1:22:58
By request, we go deeper into spacer types, the holy trinity of soul species, enneagram type, and spacer type and how they operate together, and for illustration purposes and fun, assigning types to assorted celebrities. Thanks for listening.
Dark Energies as Wounded Will vs. Evil (HOS99) 27.09.2024 1:20:30
Today, the fascinating and misunderstood subject of “dark energies.” Are there such things as demonic possessions and evil, parasitic influences from beyond? What are the governing dynamics of energetic predation of different kinds and how can you protect yourself from it? Will Venezuela have a second Christmas in December? Thanks for listening.
Politics & the Power to Move Christmas (HOS98) 13.09.2024 1:22:58
With the U.S. presidential election less than two months away, we offer some spiritual meta on politics today. How does one relate to politics spiritually? Why does it seem like the same people run the world everywhere and nothing ever changes? What soul species are drawn to government and why? And perhaps most importantly, what are the psychospiritual motives for a world leader to move a holiday?...
Who Needs Identity? (HOS97) 06.09.2024 1:21:07
The nature and usefulness of identity is our topic today. Does the soul have an identity between lives? Is there such a thing as healthy conditioning? How is Yin Divinity affecting the fragility of identity and the emergence of soul? We also discuss the challenge of relating to Edenity in a testing mode that requires neither belief nor disbelief, a critical groove to find in the beginning. Lastly,...
The Rise & Fall of Nondual Seeking (HOS96) 30.08.2024 1:21:58
We complete this recent, slightly interrupted series on Sagehood today with an unapologetic (see what I did there) comparison of various forms of eastern transcendental metaphysics and Edenity’s own Sagehood dharma. Topics include Edenity’s assertion of what we call the “pre-dual” versus the nondual, a key difference between awakening in men and women, and a possible future for enlightenment dharm...
An Apology for Arrogance (HOS95) 23.08.2024 1:36:30
It’s been four months since we recorded and we are "forward." Thank you for your patience. Stace and I both were traveling at different times, I got Covid at one point, and various other things got in the way, but we are forging onward and it felt really great to record this one. Not only did you have to wait four months for us to complete the series on Sagehood that we began, but we’re pushing th...
How Zen’s Illusion of Self is Illusory (HOS94) 19.04.2024 1:28:52
Today, we continue with part two of a Sagehood series which is surely one of my favorite episodes thus far. This one was really profound for me personally and I hope it’s as powerful for you as well but you’ll have to pay close attention as the distinctions are very subtle. We talk about what the Buddha actually taught compared to other enlightenment teachings, and then compare all of that to Eden...
Four Kinds of Enlightenment Paths (HOS93) 12.04.2024 1:29:50
Today, we begin a Sagehood series featuring four categories for enlightenment paths which make sense of an often confusing world of sagely teachings that aren’t metaphysically rigorous by our standards. We start by addressing the challenge of language from a Sagehood perspective and revisiting the issue of subjective vs. objective reality as context for this topic. Thanks for listening
Why We Fear Intimacy (HOS92) 05.04.2024 1:12:47
Today, we complete the series on the thirteen principles of Personhood with more on codependence, compromise vs. negotiation, relatedness as a means to heal the fear of intimacy, how symmetrical issues work in romantic couples, and of course, much more.
Solving a Millennia-Old Philosophical Dilemma and More (HOS91) 29.03.2024 1:29:11
Today, we warm up with why Edenity work doesn’t require integration, but digestion and how that’s different. We then continue our conversation from last time about Edenity’s challenge of traditional therapeutic boundaries and go on to cover the hugely significant resolution of revelatory vs. relative morality, and finish with a discussion of the universality of codependence. Thanks for listening.
Limits of Therapeutic Boundaries & a Universal Morality (HOS90) 15.03.2024 1:15:55
Today, we continue our series on the thirteen fundamental assumptions of Personhood dharma in Edenity. We complete our deconstruction of altruism and other selflessness illusions and move onto a criticism of traditional therapist-client boundaries as impedimentary to real healing, and finish with the hugely philosophically important discovery of an emotive-based morality which we don’t complete un...
Threatening & Offensive Truths, Continued (HOS89) 08.03.2024 1:26:43
Today, we continue our series on the thirteen fundamental assumptions of Personhood dharma in Edenity. We discuss the misguided pursuit of happiness, what substance abuse is really about, the nature of authentic self-love, and the false notions of altruism, sacrifice, and unconditional love. Thanks for listening. HOS
Foundational Principles of Personhood (HOS88) 01.03.2024 1:21:03
Today, we begin discussion of the thirteen assumptions that Edenity’s Personhood dhama is based on. We’ve touched upon these ideas before but not gone through them in this more structured and thorough way. In this episode, we cover the first five which I’ll generally summarize: that we’re emotive being first, the four elements of human behavior, that there’s no such thing as a negative emotion, th...
Embodiment of the Divine Human (HOS87) 23.02.2024 1:24:58
Today: the split between humanity and Divinity, the nature of conditioning, the ramifications of the self as sacred and essentially emotive, and of course, much more. Thanks for listening.
An Effeminate Jesus and the Pre-Psychologicality of Religion (HOS86) 16.02.2024 1:28:33
Today: how an allegedly effeminate depiction of Jesus draws yet another display of Christian contradictions and flawed metaphysics, the importance of understanding religion as pre-psychological, and how and why every religion ends up being the opposite of what its founder intended. Thanks for listening.
Prana Pathways, Energy, and Essence (HOS85) 09.02.2024 1:21:17
Today, chakras in the context of energy as downstream of essential emotivity, a revised treatment of the chakral system, chakral breathing techniques you can try, and much more. Thanks for listening.
Time Travel, Simulation Theory, and Roe v. Wade (HOS84) 02.02.2024 1:33:06
Hi, it’s Josef and thanks for listening to The Heart of Soul Podcast. You have to listen to the very end of this one to see how Stace magically ties together time travel, simulation theory, and the abortion issue. It’s a meta piece de resistance without any meaning in content for why they go together. Rabbit holes include the limits of brain-based consciousness models, the diagnostic delusions in...
How Coping and Self-Regulation Aren’t Good For You (HOS83) 26.01.2024 1:22:27
We’re back after the holidays and wasting no time deconstructing compensatory mainstream psychological tools made by and for unconscious protectors. Today, we focus on the domain of coping and spiritualized self-regulation and how it enables people to stay immature, and can harm children as well. Thanks for listening.
How To Understand Everything (HOS82) 09.12.2023 1:31:55
Today, the secret to understanding everything. Finally, the answers you’ve been looking for! Of course, understanding alone won’t lead to fulfillment and questions are far more important than answers, but our topic today, the metaphysics of metaphysics will help you quite a lot if you can learn to see reality through this lens. Also, we’re taking a break from recording at least for the rest of Dec...
How Open Is Your Heart, Really? (HOS81) 01.12.2023 1:20:59
What if your heart were not nearly as open as you think? What if most of what we call emotions are actually superficial, downstream expressions of it? What if the way we relate to love, as something you give to or pour on another, is actually inaccurate? What if there were a way to open your heart so much you could barely stand it for a while, because that’s how closed it currently is relative to...
Are You Responsible For What You Don’t Know About Yourself? (HOS80) 24.11.2023 1:12:16
You’re responsible for the contents of your unconscious. That’s the bad news, Edenity offers, but your reward is nothing less than the retrieval of your very soul in so doing. Rabbit holes include why some people are attracted to immortality, more comedy offered by the leaders of our world, how many shakes of the penis constitutes masturbation according to the Catholic Church, and a poem by yours...
Your Life Isn’t Yours (HOS79) 17.11.2023 1:35:59
Your life is not essentially yours, but you get to live it. That’s the Sainthood realization we discuss today. We talk about the qualitative difference between Sagehood and Sainthood awakenings, why doing the “hoods” in the prescribed order is important, the nausea of esoteric spirituality, how your soul-gifts are inevitably bound up in your emotional wounds, and as always, much more. Thanks for l...
