1 MAY 2018 · In this updated, edited, and enhanced episode with new material added to it, Conscious Healing takes aim at the both the cause of and healing of sickness or illness. Drawing from A Course In Miracles in the 2018 material and then Kundalini Yoga in the 2013 latter part of this episode, Bryan presents ways one can heal the mind and body through a change in perception or way of looking at one’s life. The ugliness of guilt and sorrow create pain and the seeds for illness. Forgiveness is the means for healing what is fractured in our minds so that we may return to Wholeness and Oneness. We are not victims of the world nor outside forces, but can be empowered to heal by seeing innocence first in one’s self and then in others. 

6 FEB 2018 · How does desire drive our lives? Desire is a gift from the Divine, a fiery energy. How does desire aid in our awakening? Can desire energy, when harnessed allow us to evolve? Desire energy when not harnessed can lead to suffering. Bryan promotes a form of meditation he was taught that deals with desire energy taught by Anmol Mehta (anmolmehta.com), the Silent Mind Meditation Technique, a seven step process. The Cosmic Play of Forces within us causes the process of involution and evolution. Taking two steps forward, and three backwards at time. We can be taken hostage by our desires and the fluctuations of the mind. Bryan mentions the Yoga Sutras (Pantanjali) and how stilling the fluctuations of the mind brings peace. But our constant pursuits stemming from desire can bring suffering and dis-ease. Desire is a power that is operative in our conscious and subconscious minds. We are driven to excel and to accomplish. This is a good thing. What are some pursuits to let go of? The attachment to needing to be special or an individual (constant need to be affirmed for our identity through self-definitions), our attachment to needing to be successful at all costs, the attachment to excessive self-promotion and inflated self-worth, the desires for fame and recognition (very hard to let go of this need to be recognized and important), the incessant need for acceptance and praise (things that we let define our self-esteem), we can be driven by the need for false joy to counteract pain through indulgence, we can be driven by the need to avoid reality, to power, to be needed by others, obsessions with sensual pleasures, emotionality, external stimulation, co-dependence on others, the need to exert control, and more. How can we meditate on ways to harness our desires to reduce and eliminate suffering, or currents in the mind that drive us to pursue certain ideals. Most of our ideals are illusory however noble they may seem.

28 JAN 2018 · Why do we burn candles, light fires, and use the imagery of light in sacred events, to speak of the aura, celestial beings, or is frequently recalled in near-death experiences? Why do visionary experiences speak of an influx of inner light? Light is infinitesimal, vast, and beyond comprehension. We seek to grasp and understand, some  truths, some mysteries to our existence and we can know deep within that we are and we became and were begotten by One Light, that of which is Whole and “Is” always. The field of Light from which we came is a constant and will continue to be a constant and forever, because it is everlasting. We live in a world of separation, but in reality we never separated ourselves from the Infinite and the Unified Field of God Awareness. Many forms seem to exist, but all that is came from One Source. An illimitable Source. Light comes into the world through us. We will forever be light and lit by the experience of Love. In the midst of that original state, our True Nature is found. We are not separated from Light, though we may seem to be caught in darkness at times in our life. Light is the One uniting commonality of all things. Light is our Essence and what we celebrate during festive holiday seasons, celebrating inner light. Light has come through individuals and will always come through individuals. The One Source, the Unified Field of Awareness emanated us and light seems to come into this world through gradations of the one Light Continuum. Light is power. We have within us, the inner “guru” which means the “light that dispels darkness”. This source within transforms us. Light in this world seems to be fractured, but light is All-encompassing and over-powering. It is fascinating to explore and brings a comfort in times of sorrow. Light enables us to celebrate and dig deep within ourselves. Consciousness and Light are both ever-expansive.

23 JAN 2018 · Pain and the ego are equated and you have a choice whether to suffer or not. Anytime you are in pain of any kind, you are experiencing the ego. We have the ability to program ourselves with happiness. When we are in Pure Presence or Essence, we are not identified with the ego. Though most therapeutic systems will tell you that you need to have healthy ego boundaries. Spirituality would say that you first need an ego in order to transcend an ego. We need to command a new Presence. The “Is-ness” of our True Nature is Presence and suffering is not desirable as is taught in many Eastern Spirituality traditions. Suffering is self-created. Bryan encourages people to put aside ingrained beliefs about suffering being somehow a sign of “holiness” or “worthiness”.  We do not need to crucify ourselves and need to take the crown of thorns off of our head and take the nails out of our hands and feet. Most of us in the West have been conditioned to believe that suffering is somehow admirable in the eyes of God. We are Infinitely Blessed, Loved, and “Need Do Nothing” to experience our Divinity. Pain comes from fear and emotions such as anger are draining to our life force. Anything that causes “dis-ease”, is not from our True Self. Only our egos can be offended. According to A Course In Miracles, God, who is beyond all gender, does not condemn nor inflict vengeance and suffering onto anyone out of punishment. We are whole, we are One, we are Innocent. Seeming to fall from grace is an illusion, it is not real, it is a “side show”. There is a way to live in moral harmony. When we hear words like “yield” and “surrender” yourself to a loving God. What it really means is being open and receptive to the Divine Flow of Life Force in our Being. Choosing to live in duality creates suffering as well.

21 JAN 2018 · The extraordinary can be found in the ordinary. Living lives of fame, recognition, and status in the world doesn’t guarantee specialness or an exalted nature of any kind. Self-importance doesn’t translate to the spiritual journey. Bryan shares his experiences of having wrestled with this temptation when he was looking to pursue a career in acting and was wrapped up in himself. We all like to be the center of our own universe, but we are not the individuals we think we are. We are all the same, come from the same Source, and should not define ourselves in terms of our differences or uniqueness. The need to be “different” or to stand out is something we all are susceptible to and this is a drive of type fours on the Enneagram. We have no reason to feel inferior to others or to have to compare ourselves to others to find self-worth. The myth of specialness can be demystified by coming into the awareness that nothing we lack nothing as Creations of Divinity and do not need praise, fame, or elevated status to feel worthy of what comes from our True Nature (Infinite Love). We are all important in the eyes of the Divine’s plan for each one of us, but again, are not more special or more important than anyone else in this dream world. Being in the public eye does not set a person apart or make them superior. Specialness is debunked by the great text A Course in Miracles. Bryan urges listeners to be humble and to count their blessings if they do hold positions of status in this world. Are you comfortable being on the fringe and living in vitality? Live in your excellence and be thankful and transcend all illusions of the need for approval, praise, and inflation. Observe yourself, not exalt yourself. You will be forever, all that you are, all that you need to be happy. The meditation and affirmation by Bryan shared at the end of the episode “Allowing and Accepting the Now” is from his album “Light Transmissions”.
