Michael Benner's Blog, page 14

Hello AWMS subscriber :

When you believe you live in a separate body in a world of separated forms, you suffer the delusion that there are strangers among us, some of whom pose a threat. That nightmare of separation and the fear that results leads to the dreaded "victim mentality."

Ironically, we are only victims of a life done to us when we believe in backward thinking. In fact, life is comprised of what we do with what appears to have been done to us. Life is what we make it.

This realization is essential to living, what this week's guest describes as "a legendary life — a life of significance."

Join us Tuesday, November 2nd at 1:00 PM Pacific when our featured speaker will be Tommy Breedlove, author and motivator..

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.

You can also hear each week's show stream on-demand from our YouTube channel or the show's website at TheAgelessWisdom.com, where you can also download the Mp3 simply by clicking on the three vertical dots at the right side of the built-in audio player.

Binaural Beats & Brain Entrainment

with Karen Newell

Show Notes —

"I am not my opinion of myself. I am not anything I can describe. I am only a part of a large system that cannot describe itself fully; therefore, I relax, and I am in the point source of consciousness, of delight, of mobility in the inner spaces.."

— John C. Lilly

Hello AWMS subscriber :

The frequencies of the energy radiated by our brains are higher when we are stimulated and lower when we feel safe and relaxed. Oddly, these brainwave frequencies synchronize with any regular stimulus whether highway guard rail posts moving past us as we drive, the pulsations of a fire, strobe lights or repetitive sounds. This is called brain entrainment.

When two tones with slightly different frequencies are heard in stereo headphones, the brain entrains to the slight difference. Brainwaves slow down and altered states of deep relaxation naturally expand our awareness.

Join us for this Tuesday's "Ageless Wisdom Show" on KPFK-90.7 FM for all of Southern California and live streaming for the world as our guest, Karen Newell, describes "Sacred Acoustics."

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.

The Rise of Christofascism

with Dr. Carolyn Baker

Show Notes —

"These believers find in Donald Trump a reflection of themselves, a champion of the unfettered greed, cult of masculinity, lust for violence, white supremacy, bigotry, American chauvinism, religious intolerance, anger, racism and conspiracy theories that define the central beliefs of the Christian right."

— Bruce Gerencser

Hello AWMS subscriber :

Though now beginning to wane somewhat, the popularity of Donald Trump in the past five or six years has stunned most Americans, especially his deification by white Christian fundamentalists. The traditional assumption that Christians sought to emulate Christ was shattered as white Evangelicals became increasingly outspoken about their desire to replace democracy with a white nationalist theocracy.

Our featured guest on this week's Ageless Wisdom Mystery School program on KPFK-90.7 FM is Carolyn Baker, the author of "Confronting Christofascism — Healing the Evangelical Wound." A psychotherapist and history professor, Dr. Baker traces the Evangelical movement from its inception in the American South by klansmen and segregationists after the Civil War, through the rise of televangelism, to the groundswell of white fundamentalist church support for Donald Trump.

Emotional Identity

Class segment

Show Notes —

"Our emotional feelings are our most genuine path to understanding."

—Audre Lorde

Hello AWMS subscriber :

Every so often, in lieu of a featured guest, I broadcast segments from one of my pre-COVID classroom presentations. And so this week's radio show features instruction from a six-week, 18-hour class I did called Emotional Identity.

We cover a lot of ground from the nature of happiness to the omnipresence of the life-force to mindfulness meditation with Baroque music.

Healing the Divine Animal Within

featuring Andrew Harvey

Show Notes —

— Joan Z. Borysenko

Hello AWMS subscriber :

Like so many of the world's most noble and beautiful animals, the white lions of South Africa have been hunted to the point of extinction. Only 13 of these magnificent creatures remain in the wild.

Our featured guest on this week's "Ageless Wisdom" radio show on KPFK-90.7 FM in L.A. is the celebrated mystic, Andrew Harvey.

Andrew believes the urgency in saving the white lions from extinction also presents humanity with the opportunity to heal its relationship with the animal kingdom. Surely our innate love of animals is an inalienable part of the Universal Love and Wisdom we called Consciousness.

Self-education

with Monica Ortiz

Show Notes —

"It's never too late to be who you might have been."

— George Eliot

Hello AWMS subscriber :

We've all heard of self-help, but what's "self-education." According to this week's guest, Monica Ortiz, it's the next logical step in personal development.

The founder of the Exceptional Life Institute, Monica teaches people to educate themselves about themselves — their relationships, career, health, and spiritual life. It begins with self-discovery, then moves to growing the potential we discover within.

Hello AWMS subscriber :

Our featured guest in this week's Ageless Wisdom Mystery School radio program and podcast is Jeffon Seely — a young man, barely into his 30s, yet already devoted to personal transformation.

Here Jeffon's story of growing up in a church that not only failed to answer his questions, but tolerated racial bigotry directed at him. A chance encounter with the Course in Miracles motivated him to read similar books until he realized his calling as a personal and spiritual development teacher.

"Trees are poems that the earth writes

upon the sky."

— Kahlil Gibran

Amazon Author Page Amazon Book Review Goodreads Review

Hello AWMS subscriber :

Just over 50-years ago, a 15-year old from Los Angeles called Andy Lipkis formed a conservation group dedicated to planting smog-resistant trees in and around the city. That small group of teen-agers grew to be known worldwide as the TreePeople.

Hear Andy's story as he joins us for this week's Ageless Wisdom Show on KPFK-90.7 FM. We'll talk about global warming, the drought, and real world solutions that can help us, not only survive, but prosper in the coming decades.

Emotional Intelligence

You Are What You Care About

Show Notes —

" Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have."

— Margaret Mead

Amazon Author Page Amazon Book Review Goodreads Review

Hello AWMS subscriber :

One of my favorite lessons to teach my students and clients begins with the remark, "You are not what you think of yourself. You are what you care about, and that you care at all."

It's a provocative statement, which begs for an explanation. Our entire experience in school is limited to using our thoughts to understand. Yet there is much about ourselves that can only be discovered by allowing our emotional feelings to have their way with us.

I don't mean thinking about our feelings, for that's a completely futile effort. Rather, to learn to discern the meaning and significance of our feelings by developing our intuition.

On this week's radio show and podcast, I'll discuss emotional intelligence, and particularly, the personal identity bound up in how we feel and what we care about.

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 (20:00 UTC) and is podcast on all platforms.
