    Non-Dual Christianity & Translating the Gospel of Thomas from Coptic with Author Toto Tay

    In this episode of the Spiritual Nomad podcast, Toto Tay shares his journey from a fundamentalist Christian upbringing to embracing a non-dual perspective on spirituality. He discusses the significance of his name, the impact of personal struggles, and the exploration of alternative spiritual practices. The dialogue delves into the integration of non-duality with Christian teachings, the role of suffering in spiritual growth, and the influence of Eastern philosophies. Toto emphasizes the importance of grace and encourages spiritual seekers to continue their journey of seeking truth, while also revisiting the Bible and Gnostic texts through a new lens.

    Mary Magdalene and her gospel of AWAKENING with Collette Elosha

    In this video, my dear friend Collette Elosha joins me for a podcast conversation about Mary Magdalene. We talk about the profound journey of spiritual healing, the role of Mary Magdalene, and the awakening of the feminine divine. We cover topics like the deconstruction of faith, the importance of inner Knowing (Gnosis), and the teachings of Yeshua and Mary Magdalene. Collette also shares with us her experiences with womb healing and the significance of trauma healing in connecting with the divine. At the end of the day, this chat is hopefully here to help us move beyond dogma and embrace personal exploration and understanding of spirituality through the Good (the way Mary Magdalen refers to 'God').

    Maybe I was wrong about the rapture

    I grew up, like many evangelical kids, thinking that one day I would come home from school and no one would be there because my parents were taken in the rapture but I was left behind HA! Today, Tuesday September 23rd 2025, was another day the rapture was supposed to happen... and it didn't. And it never - EVER - will... from a physical POV... In this video, I share some reflections about the spiritual nature of "rapture" and why the original theology is a hoax, but there is some instinct that is kinda true about it: the world is broken and it doesn't seem to be getting better. SO, what can we do about it? It begins and ends WITHIN.   ------ Additional info ------ (((Keywords that I reference quite often: Mystic, Non-Dual, Non-Dualism, Mysticism, Oneness, Christ Consciousness, Exvangelical, Deconstruction, Spiritual Evolution, Post-Christian, Gnostic, Gnosticism, Consciousness, New Earth Awareness, 5D, Fifth Dimension, New Age, Escape the Matrix, Occult, Transmutation, Esoteric, Hermetic, Hermeticism, Wisdom, Ultimate Reality, A Course in Miracles))) A few of my highly recomended Authors: Richard Rohr, Eckhart Tolle, Alan Watts, Ram Dass, Carl Jung, Cynthia Bourgeault. ** All Rights Reserved 2023 Luke Bricker, Current Collective Church, Spiritual Journey Center ** #spirituality #spiritualjourney #shadowwork #rapture

    The gospel according to Zen... what a gift

    A friend of mine gifted me a copy of The Gospel According to Zen a gift; but the gift he gave me was far more than a cool our of print book with some of my favorite authors like D.T. Suzuki, Alan Watts, and Krishnamurti... he gave me the gift of openness, and the reminder that nothing in this world is truly "ours" (Originally uploaded to YouTube June 14th, 2025)

    The sad state of modern Christianity and all its dogmatic concepts

    A morning reflection sparked by seeing yet another sad comment from a fundamentalist on a Facebook friend's post. The Way of Christ has much to offer us on the spiritual path, but the Christian religion has a lot of dogmatic ideas that shadow its beauty. (Originally uploaded to YouTube March 29th, 2025)

    What it means to be a mystic

    Let's rap about what it means to be a mystic. No, we're not talking about middle earth or fairies... it's the direct experiential knowing of oneness with God beyond thought or theory. Mystic is the realization of the union, the 'religion' is the way that realization finds its form; in my case, through the Way of Christ, or, the spirituality of Jesus.   ***Sign up to receive the weekly email: https://thisiscurrent.org *** For 1:1 spiritual direction, email Luke@LukeBricker.com *** Let's hang on social: https://instagram.com/the_spiritual_nomad *** Luke Bricker is an ordained minister and Spiritual Director at Current Collective.
