Intention Creates Reality
Show Notes —
"The more aware of your intentions and your experiences you become, the more you will be able to connect the two, and the more you will be able to create the experiences of your life consciously. This is the development of mastery. It is the creation of authentic power."

Hello AWMS subscriber :
More than one year after his last appearance on KPFK-90.7 FM, author and spiritual development leader, Dennis Merritt Jones, returns this week. We'll talk with Dennis about goal-setting, positive thinking, and the point at which using spiritual laws to manifest material objects becomes profane.
I will also have a special commentary about war — not only the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but war in general — how to wage peace and abolish all war from the face of the Earth. Join us!

The Divided Brain
Show Notes —
Free Private Phone Session Podcast Homepage Newsletter Archive
Hello AWMS subscriber :
In the nearly 50-years since Julian Jaynes published his book, "The Origins of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind," great strides have been made in researching the odd dissimilarities of the two halves of the human brain. Our guest on this week's KPFK-90.7 FM radio show is Dr, Iain McGilchrist, best known for his book, "The Master and His Emissary."
Dr. McGilchrist has just published a remarkable, 1500-page, two-volume set called, "The Matter with Things," in which he argues that the materialism, corruption, and general decay of Western society can be attributed to left-brain dominance.

Peaceful Warrior Spirit
Show Notes —
"Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding."
— Albert Einstein
Free Private Phone Session Podcast Homepage Newsletter Archive Our new Zoom class begins this Sunday, Feb. 20th at 11:00 AM Pacific. Titled the "Wisdom of the Soul," it is free, ongoing, and open-ended, but by invitation only. You are invited as a subscriber to this newsletter, To receive an invitation, email me at AWMysterySchool@gmail.com. Include a couple of lines about why you're interested in learning about non-religious approaches to spirituality. Thanks. Hope you can make it.
Hello AWMS subscriber :
The true warrior spirit is peaceful, not angry, vengeful, or even hostile. Anxious minds do not think clearly. They become easily confused and uncertain. They make mistakes and overlook opportunities.
The peaceful warrior does not seek to take what is not his nor kill others out of fear. They protect the weak and helpless — those who cannot defend themselves.
Our guest on this week's radio show is Dan Millman, the author of the classic book, "Way of the Peaceful Warrior," which was made into a film starring Nick Nolte. On this week's show, Dan will talk about his new book, "Peaceful Heart, Warrior Spirit: The True Story of My Spiritual Quest." Please join us.

Talk Radio Dean Michael Jackson
Show Notes —
" Right now, politics follows the rules of talk radio — using conflict, tension, fear, and resentment to find new recruits."
— John Avlon
Free Private Phone Session Podcast Homepage Newsletter Archive
Hello AWMS subscriber :
Talk radio has not always been the exclusive meeting place for conservatives, reactionaries, and hostile white nationalists. Once upon a time there were radio stations like KABC-AM in Los Angeles staffed by professionals — talk show hosts with true expertise as journalists, pro athletes, college professors, psychiatrists, medical doctors, and even a real restaurant critic.
And for more than 30-years, the dean of L.A. talk radio hosts, Michael Jackson, presented a classy and dignified interview program each weekday afternoon featuring the most influential world leaders, authors, and celebrities, not to mention a few presidents and kings.
Michael Jackson died earlier this month at the age of 87, and on this week's Ageless Wisdom Show on KPFK-90.7 FM, we pay tribute to Michael with a rebroadcast of my interview of him in our KPFK studios in February of 2004.
We talk about the destruction of talk radio by sensationalistic right-wingers who claimed to champion the cause of aggrieved white men with an everlasting fear of the other — minorities, immigrants, gays, lesbians, and even soccer moms often called "femi-Nazis."
Make it a point to join us! 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.
