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...

Money, Meaning, Manifestation & Metaphysics (HOS28) 07.10.2022 1:28:26
In today’s episode, we explore the metaphysics of money. We begin the conversation with the fantastical question of whether Jesus owned his clothes and why that question was of international importance about 1700 years ago. The subject of money leads us to explore competence and caring as the basis for healthy work and the difference between money and meaning seeking. As always, please listen to t...
If I Were President & Preparing To Die (HOS27) 30.09.2022 1:40:47
In today’s episode, we’re concluding our discussion of politics by answering the question we received about how an Edenity president would rule. We received another question about how each of the hoods (Personhood, Sagehood, and Sainthood) prepare us for death, and that conversation lead to some very rich places. As always, please listen to this podcast from the beginning and in order.
The Misguided Woke (HOS26) 23.09.2022 1:18:37
In today’s episode, following our foray into politics last time, the subject of wokeness. Topics include cancel culture, institutional racism, perception vs. reality, the dead-ending of self-image polishing and finally, the death of critical thinking and the need for “critical feeling” to take its place. As always, please listen to this podcast from the beginning and in order.
Spiritually Relating To Politics (HOS25) 16.09.2022 1:29:34
In today’s episode, “How does a spiritual person relate to politics?” Like last time, this single question takes us on a journey from the right/left, realism/idealism split, to the separation of church and state, to Christian Nationalism, the quagmire of corporate invasion of politics, the failure of democracy as a system, free will and free won’t, and if that wasn’t enough, much more. As always,...
Was It Meant To Be? (HOS24) 09.09.2022 1:23:43
In today’s episode, just because something happens, does it mean it was meant to be? It’s a simple question that requires a complex answer that leads us to the Akashic records, the nature of free will and destiny, passion-path, how we’re here to cultivate beauty, bounty, and meaning, and much more. It’s a fascinating conversation that resolves some age-old existential questions that apply to all o...
The Psychospirituality of Relationality (HOS23) 02.09.2022 1:27:28
In today’s episode, the psychospirituality of relationality, how your first mate is God, your second yourself, your third your passion path, and your fourth, your partner. We’ll be unpacking and exploring what that means, I promise. We also present one of the most practical aspects of Edenity, spacer-types, which is every bit as valuable as astrology, the Enneagram, or other kinds of typing system...
What Women Want From Men (HOS22) 26.08.2022 1:08:31
We continue our series on sex and spirituality, and today we address the perennial question, “What do women want from men?” in a way that offers a productive solution path after millennia of challenge. We go on to talk about the difference between men and women as a function of yin and yang dynamics and the challenges of relationality that come out of them. As always, please listen to this p...
The Error of Self vs. Other in Romance (HOS21) 19.08.2022 1:18:22
We’re continuing our series on sex and spirituality, now focusing on intimate relationality. In this episode, we address the “needs of self vs. needs of other” issue that morality, religion, philosophy, and spirituality have wrestled with for thousands of years…and resolve it. That’s our frame for going deeper into the content of codependence, as well as bringing forward the concept of the split b...
How Relationships Never Fail (HOS20) 12.08.2022 1:22:39
This episode continues our series on sex and spirituality with part three. In it we cover codependence and recast the tragic lives of the glorified preteens, Romeo and Juliet. We also address the three primary kinds of connection in intimate relationality, considerations for masturbation health, what might be in the way of you attracting a soulmate, how to know if you’ve used sexuality as a medica...
Love vs. Will-Based Sexuality (HOS19) 05.08.2022 1:14:29
This episode continues our series on sex and spirituality. We explore the impact of an emotion-first, will, mind and body second paradigm on this topic. This leads us to subjects that include how will drives codependence, the spirituality of lust, the innate self worth of the soul, and much more. As always, please listen to this podcast from the beginning and in order.
Sex and Spirituality (HOS18) 29.07.2022 1:16:49
We continue to use the existing context we’ve set to examine some societal issues. This episode begins a series on sex and spirituality. We struggled to remember the list of six issues that humans are confused about during recording, so here it is now: sex, death, love, money, power, and God. You can count us getting to all of these subjects eventually. Today’s episode just scratches the surface o...
Karma and Manifestation (HOS17) 22.07.2022 1:09:00
This episode is “examples of commonly held truths continued,” if you will, where we examine and revise traditional notions of karma, the use of intentional will to manifest, and related to that, what happened in the 2013 changeover. As always, please listen to this podcast from the beginning and in order.
The False Notion of Altruism (HOS16) 15.07.2022 1:24:45
Last time we talked about soul age and how it relates to people’s general relationship to truth. Today in my interview with Stace Barron we go smaller into commonly held societal truths. Topics include why we can’t change our outsides without changing our insides, the false notions of altruism, unconditional love, and self-sacrifice, and the importance of examining unconscious motives at the...
Truth and Soul (HOS15) 08.07.2022 1:28:58
Consider for a moment that there is truth, there is relationship to truth, and then there is our relationship to our relationship to truth. That’s our topic today: looking at how our take on truth is developmentally configured related to soul age; that is, the number of incarnations an individual soul has had here. As always, please listen to this podcast from the beginning and in order.
The Limits of God (HOS14) 01.07.2022 1:20:30
In this episode, we delve more deeply into the repercussions of a God that is only Omnipresent and not Omniscient or Omnipotent. The discussion takes us into an examination of atheism, religion, and how the Divine doesn’t will to manifest like we commonly think. This leads us to address more wrinkles of absolute truth previously addressed, the difference between belief- and discovery-based orienta...
De-Negativizing the Self (HOS13) 24.06.2022 1:18:31
In today’s episode, we introduce the sense of the three I’s: the God-I root of everything, the Soul-I as the child of the God-I, and the local personal I as a child of the Soul-I. These are esoteric structural metaphysics of Edenity itself, going upstream of what Edenity offers to why it’s offered. This frame serves as an introduction for a series we’ll do on enlightenment in general and spi...
What Cults Actually Are (HOS12) 17.06.2022 1:03:53
This episode completes a three-part series as we zoom out and explore what a cult actually is and is not. The heart of the matter is how one defines victimhood and personal responsibility, especially given the premise that we’re responsible for the contents of our unconscious, which we previously offered. Related to this, as always, it’s important to listen to these episodes in order and from the...
Mea Culpa (HOS11) 10.06.2022 1:28:34
We continue this three-part series with Stace revealing his previous errors of tough love and reality refraction that stemmed from his own wounding that we covered last time and resulted in the collapse of his teaching in 2015. The content of this episode is challenging so we hope you hear it with a soft heart and an open mind. As always it’s important that you listen to this podcast from the begi...
Recovering From Guru-itis (HOS10) 03.06.2022 1:08:37
This episode begins a sort of three-part series. Stace is going to tell you his personal life story as it relates to the origin of Edenity, including his own childhood wounding and how his own innate gifts in many ways made things more difficult for him. One of Edenity’s unusual principles is that the greater the child’s gifts, the greater the childhood wounding because of the degree to which thei...
Spiritual Buffet Indigestion (HOS09) 27.05.2022 1:23:50
In this episode, we finally get through the spiritual buffet issue, but of course, there’s much more to talk about around that. We talk about the necessity of paradigmatic constructive criticism, the judgment of judgment, the relationship a soul has with a paradigm, what happens in enlightenment related to conditioning in a world of conditions, how organized religion twists itself into pretzels to...
The 9 Elements of All Paradigms (HOS08) 20.05.2022 1:28:20
In today’s episode, Stace presents perhaps the most universally applicable and powerful aspect of Edenity: The 9 Elements of a Paradigm. This model applies to all philosophies, models, religions, spiritualities, etc. and is a powerful tool to augment your CQ, or consciousness quotient, which we also discuss. It’s really best to listen to this podcast from the very beginning and in order. Thank you...
An Adam & Eve Revision (HOS07) 13.05.2022 1:25:23
In this episode we cover a lot: How all paradigms have at least some truth, a recasting of the Adam and Eve myth, the origin of the universe according to Edenity, the difference in self-awareness between humans and animals, the limits of seeing consciousness as a function of the brain, Edenity’s take on Vladimir Putin and the invasion of Ukraine, the nature of the consciousness changeover that hap...
The Personal Self as Spiritually Sacred (HOS06) 06.05.2022 1:11:10
Last time we explored two of the three ways that distinguish Edenity from other paradigms. The first was that we are responsible for the contents of our unconscious, as challenging as that may be. The second was that human beings are emotive before they are willful, mental, or physical. Today we complete the three-part series with an exploration of the premise that the personal self as spiritually...
Responsibility for the Emotive Unconscious (HOS05) 29.04.2022 1:02:18
Today we begin a second three-part series to lay down some additional meta-framework. These three items are the fundamental ways in which Edenity is different from all other paradigms. In this episode, we cover the first premise, which is that as humans we are responsible for the contents of our unconscious, as well as the second premise, that we are at root emotive beings, before we are willful,...
Love Isn't Energy (HOS04) 22.04.2022 59:59
In this episode, we continue the three-part series on the core reasons our species is confused, with an addendum to one of our previous topics, addressing the nature of Divine as holoarchichal rather than hierarchical. This is of particular importance if you want to have an experience of and not just a belief in the Divine. Then we go onto to complete the series, and explore the idea that love is...
