    #16. Esther Goetz from Deconstructing Mamas Podcast

    It's been too long, beloved! Today's guest is Esther Joy Goetz from the Deconstructing Mamas Podcast. Esther and her co-host Liz Enns Petters are doing the work of helping deconstructing, reconstructing, and reconfiguring moms to feel supported through this liberating—and sometimes very difficult—transition journey. It was a "joy" to have Esther on the show! She brings big mama bear energy to the party and has a lot of insight for those of us expanding our spirituality beyond the bounds of what she has accurately deemed "high control religion." I know you're going to love hearing from her! PS: You may have also noticed a larger-than-normal lapse in uploads, and new cover artwork for the podcast. This is because I, William Collier, am going through a bit of an "unbranding" process, focusing instead on my personal efforts and something of an influencer in the branding and marketing space AS WELL AS in the reconstructing space. Thank you for being a listener! Much more to come, I promise! (The Cathedral Project is still "a thing" with great potential, but I have to direct my efforts away from it for the time being.) —————— Show Notes: Follow me on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@williamjacobcollier Esther's Website https://estherjoygoetz.com Deconstructing Mamas https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deconstructing-mamas/id1612182466

    #15. Judson Davis PhD // God's Lucid Dream

    My wannabe buddhist friend and I discovered and read through a pretty wild article together, "I Am Become Death: Vishnu's Lucid Dream and the Ending of Time." You know, just the kind of stuff you probably do with your pub friends too, right? The article (available here) delved into many of the themes that had been weighing on my mind (and still do), so I reached out to the author, Dr Judson Davis PhD, and he agreed to come on the podcast! I kind of still can't believe it. At this moment of Kairos, the potential for expanded and enlightened human consciousness at the collective level is not only possible, but as this article asserts, necessary for our survival and for a dimension beyond our own to permeate our everyday reality in increasing measure. Let's explore what such a dimension and such a realization—heaven on earth—might look like, together. ————— Details from Judson Davis PhD: Organization: The Institute of East-West Interdisciplinary Studies Email: judsondavisphd@gmail.com Website links: https://www.east-westinstitute.com/bio https://www.east-westinstitute.com/courses https://www.east-westinstitute.com/counseling Other authors and personalities mentioned: Christopher Bache Stanislav Grof (pioneer of Holotropic Breathwork) Jiddu Krishnamurti Sri Aurobindo David Bohm (author of "Wholeness and The Implicate Order")

    #11. What is "Awakening"?

    "Awakening" is a term loaded with stigma. Maybe you hear it and think of "the great awakening", and the advent of great religious vigor. Or perhaps you've heard it used by ambiguous new age types in ways that seem to not mean much at all. Regardless, the concept of awakening means coming out of a state of unconsciousness and entering reality. The metaphors abound.
