Enneagram — Windows to Personality

Featuring Russ Hudson

Show Notes —

" The world is a living mirror. With the light of your perception, you see yourself in it every moment."

— Debasish Mridha

Amazon Author Page Amazon Book Review Goodreads Review

Hello AWMS subscriber :

Today's featured guest on the Ageless Wisdom Mystery School radio program is Russ Hudson, the co-founder of The Enneagram Institute in New York's Catskill Mountains. The author of several scholarly books, Russ has become one of the world's foremost authorities on the Enneagram, and the philosophies behind it — Sufism, Neo-Platonism, Jewish Kabbala, and the Christian mysticism of the Desert Fathers, the founders of Christian monasticism.

Though symbolic of a complex and profound philosophy, the Enneagram is primarily considered to be a system of personality types. The nine basic types offer insight about how we interpret the world, manage our emotions, and relate to others.

Big Tech and Free Speech

Free Speech & Right to Vote Issues

Show Notes —

" If the freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent, we may be led like sheep to the slaughter."

— George Washinton

Amazon Author Page Amazon Book Review Goodreads Review

Hello AWMS subscriber :

Our weekly radio program about consciousness often goes beyond mindful self-awareness to explore ethics and issues of morality and justice. Today's guest is John Bonifaz, co-founder and president of "Free Speech for People."

We'll talk about the history of voter suppression since Richard Nixon's "Southern Strategy" in the Sixties — also recently successful litigation restraining Republicans from hiring mercenary soldiers to intimidate voters at the polls.

John and I will also discuss the need for legislation to regulate Big Tech's stranglehold on social media and its willingness to facilitate foreign influence in America's electoral process.

Navy Commander, Mystic, and Medium

Aligning with Your Soul

Connecting to Your Higher Self

"It matters not how strait the gate; how charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul."

— William Ernest Henley

Amazon Author Page Amazon Book Review Goodreads Review

Hello AWMS subscriber :

During her 20-year career in the U.S. Navy, Suzanne Giesemann rose to the rank of commander, special assistant to the Chief of Naval Operations, and Aide to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on 9/11. But after her step-daughter was killed by a lightning strike, she turned to mysticism and metaphysics and discovered an entirely new domain — the Kingdom of Conscious Souls.

Working initially as an evidentiary medium, Suzanne expanded her interests to include public speaking, seminars and workshops. She joins us on KPFK-90.7 FM today from Colorado as she tours the country speaking to groups about the nature of consciousness and how each of us can align with the spiritual essence that is our oversoul.

Reversing Upside-Down Thinking

Consciousness is Fundamental

Flipping Our Upside Down Worldview

"I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness." — Max Planck, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, 1918

Amazon Author Page Amazon Book Review Goodreads Review

Hello AWMS subscriber :

It's been more than 100-years since research by eminent quantum physicists began to reveal that the ancient mystics were correct. Consciousness is fundamental. Awareness is the Creator.

Awareness is not a byproduct of brain chemistry. Instead, our experience of the material universe, our physical bodies, and the appearance of objects, shapes, and form exists within us as perception.

Join us today as we flip the script with special guest, Mark Gober, discussing his books, "An End to Upside Down Thinking" and "An End to Upside Down Living."

Opening to Meditation

Show Notes

Learning to Meditate

"Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream."

— Lennon & McCartney

Hello AWMS subscriber :

Just as playing football for Notre Dame doesn't make it a religion, a meditation practice does not mean you're a Hindu or Buddhist. All religions have meditation and contemplation practices, but also, meditation makes-up the core of sports psychology, accelerated learning, emotional intelligence, and many healing traditions.

Today's guest on KPFK's "Ageless Wisdom" show, Diana Lang, has been teaching meditation since she was a teenager. She is familiar with countless meditation traditions and techniques, and will share her knowledge of the practice and its numerous benefit with us this afternoon.

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. You can also hear each week's show stream on-demand from www.TheAgelessWisdom.com.

Are You Authentic?

Willing to "Get Real?"

Authenticity — The Way to Love, Respect, and Trust

"Authenticity is a collection of choices we have to make every day. It's about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let out true selves be seen."

— Brene Brown

Hello AWMS subscriber :

Our featured guest today was, for 11-years, Oprah Winfrey's executive assistant. Before that, she was Rolling Stone magazine founder Jann Wenner's top go-to person. She is Libby Moore and she joins us this afternoon to discuss authenticity.

In business, in relationships, in life generally, authenticity is everything. But it's easier said than done.

How do we find our genuine nature? How can we be honest and sincere enough to become authentically unique individuals? How do we find the courage to risk being so vulnerable?
