The Heart's Path to the Soul's Wisdom
The Wisdom of the Soul Hello AWMS subscriber :
One of the most basic principles of the Wisdom Traditions of the world is the understanding that our desires are never fulfilled — at least, not for long. No matter how strongly we want something, getting it provides only temporary satisfaction before being replaced by another desire.
And so, the cycle continues, born and reborn of an innate, inner wound that never fully heals. But there's good news. There is a way out of this vicious cycle. And we'll talk about it in this week's Wisdom of the Soul class.
Join us live today, Sunday, at 11:00 AM PDT (18:00 UTC/GMT).
Topic: The Wisdom of the Soul
Time: Jun 12, 2022 11:00 AM Pacific Time (US and Canada)

The Benefits of Mindfulness
Show Notes —
"The first and best victory is to conquer self."
— Plato
Free Private Phone Session Podcast Homepage Newsletter Archive
Hello AWMS subscriber :
Conquer self. Know thyself. Be selfless. Love yourself.
We hear so many confusing and conflicting admonitions about the concept of self, how are we to discover the truth — even if it's only our own personal truth about our sense of self?
Is there a central self, a kind of CEO who is running the show for us? Are these the voices we hear in our head?
Join us this afternoon, Tuesday, June 7th at 1:00 PM PDT when my guest will be mindfulness teacher and therapist, Dr. Mitch Abblett.
The Ageless Wisdom Mystery School program is heard every Tuesday at 1:00 PM Pacific on KPFK-90.7 FM for all of Southern California. It also live-streams for the world at www.KPFK.org (20-hrs summer / 21-hrs winter, UTC) and is podcast on all podcatchers and player apps.

Wetiko — the Mind Virus
Show Notes —
"If we remember that there are many people who understand nothing at all about themselves, we shall be less surprised at the realization that there are also people who are utterly unaware of their actual conflicts."
— Carl Jung

Hello AWMS subscriber :
Our featured guest on today's Ageless Wisdom Radio Show on KPFK-90.7 FM in L.A. is the author of, "Wetiko — Healing the Mind Virus that Plagues our World.," Paul Levy.
Wetiko is an American indigenous people's term for innate evil, also called the "Shadow" by Dr. Carl Jung and the "Predator" in Carlos Castaneda's books. It is a mind virus of blindness, fear and confusion born of self-grasping ignorance — the illusion that we are separate and disconnected from the world in which we live.
Levy asserts that all human suffering and discontent can be traced to the group psychosis that is Wetiko, including the rising tribalism, belligerence, and cruelty in the world. Join us this afternoon.

Grief and Loss
Show Notes —
"Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom."
— Rumi
Free Private Phone Session Podcast Homepage Newsletter Archive
Hello AWMS subscriber :
Grief is one of Life's most difficult trials. It sucks the wind from us, so we can scarcely breathe. It makes us feel so heavy we can barely stand. It feels as if we're about to be crushed, if not devoured by it.
But there are teachers, counselors, and various support groups for those who grieve. And occasionally, a book comes along that's filled to the brim with insight, understanding, and sage advice for how to cope with loss and grief.
One such book has just been published — "Different After You" by Michele Neff Hernandez. She is our guest in this week's Ageless Wisdom Show on KPFK-90.7 FM for all of Southern California and live-streaming for the world.
The Ageless Wisdom Mystery School program is heard every Tuesday at 1:00 PM Pacific on KPFK-90.7 FM for all of Southern California. It also live-streams for the world at www.KPFK.org (20-hrs summer / 21-hrs winter, UTC) and is podcast on all podcatchers and player apps.
