Happy Tuesday, other selves! Today’s episode discusses the Confederation’s concept of the “discipline of the personality”. What do they mean by discipline? What role does this discipline play in our work with our personality shells? In what sense is this discipline part of our overall spiritual evolution? We’ll answer these questions and more as we take a very incomplete start at discussing this vast topic. As always, let us know how we’re doing!

Episode 16: An Introduction to the Archetypal Mind, ft. Joseph Dartez
Happy Sunday, other selves! On this episode we interview our first guest, Joseph Dartez, who introduces us to the highly abstract and fascinating concept of the archetypal mind. Joseph breaks down the concept of an archetype and brings in the 3 cycles of 7 classifications that those of Ra conveyed, helping us build a framework for starting our personal, subjective study of these roots of cosmic consciousness. As always, let us know how we’re doing!

Episode 15: Fear, Faith, and Thought
Happy Sunday, other selves! Many apologies for not updating the site on Tuesday with our latest episode. Ryan and I discuss a Q’uo transcript contemporary to the attacks of September 11. As an example of fear to which many people can relate, 9/11 provides Q’uo with a focus for addressing the nature of fear, its role in the energy body and in our thoughts, and the manner in which we can balance and respect it. As always, we welcome your questions and comments. Thanks for listening, and tune in next Tuesday for a very special episode with our first guest!
Episode 14: The Transient and the Timeless
Happy Tuesday, other selves! This episode revolves around a concept that the Confederation often harps on: transience. By that, they mean to indicate those concerns which occupy our minds without holding any importance to our spiritual evolution. We look at how to apply the long term, cosmic time scale of spiritual evolution to our thinking and service in this oh! so short life. As always, let us know if we’re hitting the mark.
Episode 13: Suffering and Spiritual Growth
Happy Thursday, other selves! Sorry for the late post, but I’ve been a bit distracted. In any case, Tuesday’s episode features yours truly and Ryan discussing the nature of suffering and its role on our evolutionary path. How can we think about our pain and woe? How does our mind and perspective relate to our suffering? What is the best way to address others’ suffering?
As always, give us your feedback on how we’re doing. Thanks for listening!
Episode 12: The Pitfalls of Service
Happy late Tuesday, other selves! Ryan and I return to our old topic of service, its confusing and simultaneously very simple nature. We run into many shadows within when we seek to serve others as they wish, and on this episode we’re going to speak about a few of them. How can we know what others desire? What if we do not wish to serve? What is going on behind the scenes as we make these concrete decisions? How can we adopt a perspective that freely radiates the self without holding back out of fear? As always, chime in with your thoughts.
Episode 10: Indigo Ray, Violet Ray, and Emotions
Happy Tuesday, other selves! In this episode, Ryan and I discuss the final two centers and their mystical, mysterious nature. We then turn to a Q’uo transcript that discusses emotions and their purpose on the evolutionary path. We only get about halfway through reading it, but there is a tie-in between indigo ray and what those of Q’uo call the “way of wisdom” that attempts to transcend emotion. This more intellectual approach to work in consciousness is distinguished from the “way of the open heart” that faces emotions head-on. Next week, we’ll finish analyzing the transcript and focus on the purification of these emotions.
As always, thanks for listening, and drop us a line if you have feedback for us of any kind!
Episode 9: The Green Ray and Blue Ray Energy Centers
Sorry so late, but I was on vacation! Now that I’m back, I can share last weeks episode featuring Ryan and I recapping the first three energy centers and tying them into the next two centers. Green ray is the seat of compassionate, universal love as well as the shadow self. We delve into a Q’uo transcript that addresses the refining of emotions within the green ray heart center. We finish on the blue ray center, the center of honest communication, and discuss how it fits into the development of an entity. As always, give us your feedback, and thanks for listening!
Episode 8: The Red Ray, Orange Ray, and Yellow Ray Energy Centers
Happy Wednesday, other selves! On this episode, Ryan and I start our exploration of the body’s energy system, what are often called the chakras. Using Confederation sources as our guide, we tackle the first three energy centers in the body: red ray, orange ray, and yellow ray. While many who aspire to spiritual or mystical experience prefer the higher chakras, it is in the lower three chakras that many of our deepest and most tangibly workable issues make themselves available to us. Therefore, any hope of getting to balanced green-ray, blue-ray, or indigo-ray relies on balancing at these more basic centers so the Creator’s energy can rise up through our system with minimum distortion.
Thanks for listening, and let us know how we’re doing! We got the episode out a little late, but we’re committed to hitting a weekly cadence whenever possible, so thanks for your patience as well.
Episode 7: Karma
Happy Tuesday, other selves! Building on the discussion from last week, Ryan and I explore the subject of karma, different ways to think about it, and its relationship to polarity. We run a little longer than normal for some reason. Hope you enjoy, and make sure you share your feedback with us.
