    The Seasonality of the Higher Self Journey (Plus, a Special Announcement)

    The seasons are turning — though you may not yet see it. In early February, the land sits in a quiet threshold. The light is returning, but winter has not fully released its hold. In ancient traditions, this liminal period was marked as Imbolc — the quickening beneath the surface, the first subtle stirring of new life. In this episode, I reflect on how the higher self journey mirrors these natural rhythms. Spiritual development is not linear. It moves in cycles of withdrawal, reorientation, expression, and integration — just as the earth does. What if silence is not absence? What if dormancy is not failure? What if the turning happens long before the evidence? Drawing on seasonal archetypes, equinoctal shifts, and the intelligence of liminal time, this episode explores why growth cannot be rushed — and why depth has its own timing. It was through contemplating these natural cycles that I recognised something important about this podcast as well. If the higher self journey is seasonal, then the container for this dialogue must honour that rhythm too. What You’ll Discover · The Higher Self Has Seasons: How silence, confusion, and withdrawal are integral phases of spiritual maturity. · The Quickening Beneath the Surface: Why transformation often begins before we can see or articulate it. · Honouring Natural Rhythms: Why spiritual dialogue — including this podcast — must move in cycles rather than constant output. This episode is an invitation to notice the season you are in, to soften your expectations of constant growth, and to trust that something may already be turning — even if it has not yet bloomed.

    What 85 seconds to midnight REALLY means from a higher self perspective

    The Doomsday Clock has moved closer to midnight again. At the end of last year, I spent some time reflecting on what the upcoming announcement might reveal about the state of the world –– not as a prediction, but as a mirror. Now that the announcement has been made, this episode returns to that question, and sits with what it may really be showing us. Today I explore what it means to live in a time of escalating risk without collapsing into fear or despair, and how a higher self perspective invites a more mature, grounded response to power, responsibility, and uncertainty. Rather than focusing on catastrophe, this is a reflection on consciousness — personal and collective — and the quieter choices that shape our shared future. What You’ll Discover ·       The Doomsday Clock as Mirror: Why the clock reflects our inner state as much as external threats, and what it reveals about how we live with power. ·       Beyond Fear and Polarisation: How reactivity and “us versus them” thinking quietly accelerate the very dangers we’re worried about. ·       Growing Up as a Species: What this moment asks of us individually — not heroics, but maturity, restraint, and inner alignment. This episode is an invitation to slow down, look more deeply, and consider how the smallest ways we meet uncertainty may matter more than we think.

    The Quiet Joy of Being Unremarkable

    I’ve been feeling the winter chill here in London – dark days, icy snaps across Europe and it got me thinking about the small, warm lights we find on the spiritual path.   In this episode of The Higher Self Dialogues, I explore one of those underrated gifts: the soft release that comes from embracing unremarkableness. In a world pushing us to "be someone" and shine on social media, what if just existing – without the pressure to stand out – is closer to our true self than we realise?   I share why this quiet joy feels like a gentle invitation to let go, and how it’s always been there, waiting beneath the noise.   What You'll Discover   - The Pressure to "Be Someone": How social media and modern life make us chase visibility, and why stepping back from that can feel like coming home.   - Unremarkable as Freedom: The soft joy of public ordinariness – being a "nobody" in the world's eyes and finding it's more than enough.   - Letting Life Be Enough: A simple invitation to pause and feel the release of not striving, just for a moment.   This episode is my gentle nudge: the higher self isn't always about becoming more – sometimes it's about remembering you're already whole.

    Martyn Williams: Polar Expeditions to Higher Self Discoveries

    I’ve always been fascinated by people who push their limits in extreme places, and Martyn Williams is one of those rare souls who’s done it all – then turned those experiences inward.   In this episode of The Higher Self Dialogues, I sit down with Martyn, an explorer and expedition leader with stories that’ll take your breath away. We talk about how facing the frozen unknown in polar regions mirrors the inner journey to your higher self, the clarity that comes from those make-or-break moments, and why embracing uncertainty is the real secret to living with more wholeness, strength, joy and bliss.   It’s a conversation that got me thinking about my own path, and I hope it does the same for you.   What We Explore   - Extreme Adventures as Spiritual Teachers: Martyn shares how polar expeditions force you to confront your limits, revealing insights that echo the higher self journey.   - Clarity in the Chaos: The moments of presence and awakening in life-or-death situations, and how they help cut through everyday noise to connect with your inner strength.     - Embracing the Unknown: Why uncertainty isn’t something to fear but a doorway to greater wholeness, authenticity, and meaning in tough times.   Martyn’s wisdom is a reminder that the biggest discoveries often happen when you step into the wild – whether that’s a frozen tundra or your own mind. If you’ve ever wondered how adventure shapes the soul, this one’s for you.   For more information about Martyn and his work, check out the following links:   https://martynwilliams.ca/   A 15-minute documentary on Martyn's expedition work, by Tavi films, can be viewed on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tdejd72MJ1g Coaching: www.Enlighteningadventures.com Martyn’s book that details some of the stories captured in the interview: https://www.enlighteningadventures.com/sure-let-s-go A video of the Pole to Pole expedition that Martyn speaks about: https://youtu.be/eEeSfgWzGVA A video of one of Martyn’s Mantra chanting projects: https://youtube.com/shorts/_lmg80VCJuU?feature=share ---   Episode Resources:   Join the Conversation on Discord → Join our community Follow Higher Self Dialogues on Socials → Facebook Page (more channels coming soon).   Learn more at higherselfdialogues.com Hosted on Acast.

    A Journey… but of What?

    What if the moments that feel like confusion, chaos or wandering are not detours at all but the path itself?   In this episode, I reflect on the early years of my own inner unfolding - a time that, back then, didn’t feel like a journey of any kind. There was no sense of spiritual seeking, no clear intention, no language for growth or awakening. It felt like stumbling from one event to the next, reacting, surviving, and trying to make sense of life as it happened.   And yet, looking back now, I can see something very different. What felt directionless was quietly structured. What felt like chaos was actually movement. Something was unfolding beneath the surface long before I had the awareness to recognise it.   What I Explore   The Illusion of Directionlessness: I reflect on how early stages of growth often feel empty, messy or unremarkable and why that doesn’t mean nothing meaningful is happening.   Unconscious Spiritual Development: I explore the idea that many of us are on a spiritual journey long before we ever choose one consciously.   Curiosity as the First Breadcrumb: I share how questions, anomalies and moments that didn’t “fit” my worldview quietly pulled me forward - not through certainty, but through not knowing.   Growth Without a Map: Why spiritual development rarely comes with clear milestones, frameworks or shared language and how that makes it easy to mistake growth for disorder.   The Hidden Scaffolding: Using the metaphor of a seed germinating underground, I explore how change can be real and alive even when it’s completely invisible to us.   Confusion as a Guide: Rather than something to escape, confusion often becomes the very thing that keeps us moving, asking, and opening.   Looking back at this period now, I feel a deep tenderness for that version of myself - walking blindfolded along a road I didn’t even know existed. And I suspect many of us have our own version of this: years that only make sense in hindsight, moments we later recognise as thresholds we didn’t know how to name at the time.   If you’re in a phase that feels unstructured, disconnected or strangely quiet, this episode is a reminder: the journey doesn’t always announce itself. Sometimes, we only realise we were on the path once we’ve travelled far enough to look back and see it.   Episode Resources:   Join the Conversation on Discord → Join our community Follow Higher Self Dialogues on Socials → Facebook Page (more channels coming soon).   Learn more at higherselfdialogues.com Hosted on Acast.

    The Doomsday Clock: Will It Move Closer to Midnight in 2026?

    As 2025 ends, I explore a subject that sits at the intersection of world affairs and spiritual evolution: the Doomsday Clock. Set each year by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, the clock symbolically reflects humanity’s proximity to global catastrophe. But beyond its political and scientific significance, it also invites a deeper question - what does the state of world peace reveal about our collective consciousness?   With a touch of seriousness and a surprisingly light spirit, I look ahead to how the clock may be adjusted for 2026. From escalating geopolitical conflicts to paralysis within international institutions, I examine what pressures may push the clock closer to midnight. And in contrast, I consider the idea that humanity is still free to learn, change course, and step back from the brink.   What You’ll Reflect On   The Clock as Metaphor: How a symbolic “time” can shape public debate and moral responsibility.   Conflict and Consequence: Why recent wars and weakened accountability systems may influence this year’s decision.   Humanity’s Spiritual Freedom: Why the possibility of catastrophe is not fate, but an opportunity to learn, change, and choose differently.   The question of whether the clock moves forward or backward isn’t just a geopolitical forecast - it is a mirror for the choices humanity is making every day.   Episode Resources:   Join the Conversation on Discord → Join our community Follow Higher Self Dialogues on Socials → Facebook Page (more channels coming soon).   Learn more at higherselfdialogues.com Hosted on Acast.
