ZLORD podcast

On her own, teZa talks as she makes ghee on the stove. She's thinking about signs, looking for them, and what they could mean, if anything. As the ghee cooks, she relates several significant Signs that have happened to her recently. Finally, as the ghee finishes, she sums up her feelings surrounding signs, and talks about the yoga classes she has uploaded on her teZa Lord YouTube channel. Carter w...

ZLORD's cohosts teZa and Carter discuss how important it is to work for happiness, better said with Contentment because that emotional state is "neither this nor that," similar to the Buddhist's Middle Way. Using personal experiences listeners get to share the pitfalls and the heights of this couple's longstanding earnest work toward making joy and service to others their spiritual center.

teZa and Carter, the cohosts of ZLORD, discuss the significance of this special day they're speaking on: the Hindu and Yoga-world auspicious day of Shivaratri. In the eastern yogic tradition of which teZa partakes, the repetition of the name of Shiva, signifying "consciousness" or the Divine in All, has been her many decades-long tradition. Shivaratri is when repeating "the Name" Shiva bestows ble...

Cohosts teZa and Carter Lord discuss how every single person has the free will to choose whether to be in the state of love, and BE happy, or conversely, to choose to be in the state of fear (which includes anxiety, anger, confusion, etc.). Everyone has free will. So even if you're imprisoned and your body is in duress, you can still choose to be happy, and exercise your birthright to see the Ligh...

Starting with how mixed-up some people make a single word, like "woke," Carter and teZa's conversation here centers around how complicated our world has become. They offer suggestions how to make it more SIMPLE. Everything  we do, think, and desire leads us closer to LOVE, the highest form of being human. ACCEPTANCE is where to start. Lots of methods are spelled out for you in teZa's audio book, j...

Another first on ZLORD podcast! Carter is interviewing (well, sort of) teZa, his co-host because she's just put up a special FREE treat for everyone. Since the pandemic brought hardship to so many, teZa wanted to offer a home practice of the body-mind-spirit kind of yoga she's been doing for over fifty years. Listen to this spirited conversation (always feisty opinions with these two!) about the b...

The order of the day is UNITY. teZa and Carter Lord, the cohosts of ZLORD discuss how each approaches that important topic.

Solo on this episode while cohost Carter is away, teZa recounts a true story that'll make you laugh, perhaps wonder at, but definitely be amazed and astounded by!

We all remember how, as kids, every day was an exciting adventure! This pure, unaffected-by-adversity experience is within our grasp, still, for those of us who choose to have it. The choice is simple: focus on positives rather than the negatives of such fluctuating things as the political or material or "ordinary" view of what life's all about. How do we choose? By being aware that we DO HAVE fre...

Who would think it? Carter and teZa are both amazed as they contemplate the importance of developing patience.

teZa solo this time, offering a special GIFT (stay for the special ending!) for our ZLORD listeners. She shares how this year was not the worse one, in HER LIFE.

Co-hosts teZa and Carter Lord discuss how there's never "too much" when it comes to looking at, and responding to life from a spiritual perspective.

Perhaps the astronomical event of the past week, the multiple-centuries-rare conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter heralds in a new phase of humankind's understanding, commonly cal...

Dr. Deeh (Dorothy) Israel is back with us for a fourth installment of her magnificent and intriguing oral history. Carter, my co-host, and I joke that we're going to rename our podcast the "D'Zlord" podcast ... making it much more resonant to the purpose of recording for all posterity Deeh's remarkable life story. From Harlem and Bed-Sty in the heart of troubled Black times, with extreme prejudice...

Everyone wants to be happy. But some of us don't know how , or have forgotten how very simple it is to choose to BE content with "What Is." In this week's episode co-hosts teZa and Carter Lord give examples of how they use the simple formula of "Awareness, Acceptance, Action" to identify when a shift has to occur. First comes the recognition that a change is necessary (the Awareness part, from pay...

The world is often seen as a highly competitive arena. Everyone faces inner feelings of worthiness when we compare ourselves to the outer world. In our pre Covid-pandemic society, even more was made of a person's public persona. We definitely were (not so much today) a "celebrity culture." Today, anyone who wants to be can be a Rock Star! An overnight viral sensation! Thanks to social media, YouTu...

teZa and Carter Lord, the two co-hosts of ZLORD podcast, discuss the way they'd found WORKS to not only maintain the highest level of personal happiness for each of them, but also to get along with others, especially another person whose opinion sharply contrasts theirs in our highly divided society as today's political climate sadly is. In order to do both, stay personally content and get along s...

Change is a choice. Whether it's a national choice, a vote of presidential change, as we've witnessed just now in America--or our personal wish to change. Change begins with being AWARE of needing to change. Then, ACCEPTANCE that a better change is possible, over and over, until--ACTION can take place, which takes ... COURAGE. teZa and Carter Lord discuss the step-by-step process of how they work...

Waiting for the election's results teZa and Carter discuss all of life's other uncertainties. We express our free choice, but we must accept the powerful expression of the Divine. Sometimes that comes as a ferocious storm. Sometimes as an unexpected divorce, disease, or crisis--or election result. No matter what happens, the Divine aka God is in charge. As long as we approach our different materia...

It's presidential vote week! One week from today we'll know who won. For some of us it will be a time to celebrate. For others, it will be depressing news. No matter what happens, your vote counts!

If you think positively, no matter what the results of any situation in life, you will be able to continue in a sta...

Carter's back and teZa, his cohost, feels like he's almost a "guest" because he's been absent for quite a few episodes (while she's been "interpreting" and reading her visionary book WE ARE ONE the last four episodes). Carter explains what's on his mind about this topic, "What's Really Important," and then teZa does. A back-and-forth discussion ensues about what they share, a three-decade-long cou...

This episode is the fourth and final installment of "We Are One" -- a verse n' vision artbook teZa narrates the poetic, scant text and describes each of the visionary images comprising this gem-like book honoring Oneness that she created.
