Gifts from the Devastation

Take On Faith – March 26, 2022

From Guest’s Website:

Read on to find out the story behind the book and a short extract that I hope you enjoy.
A few readers also share their feedback with you!!

If I were to sum up the overall message of the book in a few sentences, it is that all life experiences, especially the difficult ones, are here to help us grow into the fullest version of ourselves. As difficult as it can be at times, life really is unfolding for our highest good.

My experience with breast cancer taught me this. It has been a journey marked by many ups and downs but I wouldn’t change a moment of it. Although life still has its challenges, I have never felt a greater sense of meaning and purpose. It has awoken me to my true nature and brought me to a place of deep, inner contentment that is beyond compare.

I hope that by sharing my story, it will prompt you to embark on your own journey of growth and expansion. I hope it will help you reframe difficult experiences and provide you with more supportive and empowering ways of relating to life. Ultimately, I hope you discover your inner power, speak your truth and shine brightly as the highest version of yourself.

In the book I take you on my personal journey – from getting the life-changing news that I had cancer, to surrendering to it and ultimately choosing a path of transformation. It taught me that despite the inevitable pain that comes with growth, life really is happening for us, not to us.

When we shift to this perspective, we have a totally different experience of life, we see through our conditioning and limiting beliefs. We become stronger and more anchored in our inner power. We no longer live as victims. Instead we realize that we are powerful creators of our reality.

Then there is no stopping us! That is my wish for you.

From Guest’s Website:

Membership in this group is a parent’s worst nightmare and it’s a lifetime membership. I understand grief and despair. After my son crossed over, I found myself unable to relate to my old life so I retired, sold my house and all my things and traveled the world for two and a half years. Along the way, travel turned into pilgrimage. I found a spiritual path with the Four Winds Society. The teachings and practices of Modern Shamanism were a catalyst for healing and change in my own life that I want to share. I teach, I write, and I lead retreats.

But most of all, I Love.

You don’t have to lose a child to suffer. Our lives are periodically or perpetually filled with pain and suffering from abandonment, abuse, betrayal, and feeling separated from Spirit or God. I use the teachings and practices of the Medicine Wheel as the fuel to ignite suffering and transform it into Vision so that you can live life with ease and grace.

Take On Faith – February 12, 2022

Xolani Kacela, Ph.D., the host of TOF, spends the episode discussing how intuition impacts our daily lives and decision-making. This episode broadcasts originally on KTAL-LP 101.5 in Las Cruces, NM.

According to Xolani Kacela, Ph.D., intuition refers to the capacity to know something without having to reason through it. You just know and trust your inner feedback loop. Intuition develops over time as you build your experience and through consistent practice.

You must feed your intuition using experience, best practices (traditions), reasoning, and by studying people and the world. However, not any old information source will do. It is important to identity trusted sources who provide objective content.

Kacela introduced his new newsletter, called The Intuitionist, which originated as a result of intense feedback he received on the topic recently. The newsletter, which is hosted on the platform, Substack, will be released monthly on second Thursdays.

Excerpt from The Intuitionist:

How intuitive are you in your romantic relationship? Intuition is a vital element in any robust and fulfilling relationship. This suggestion may sound counterintuitive to you if you are a concrete thinker. Trust me, you need to open your mind and allow your gut instinct to lead you instead of thinking so hard.

One way to tell how well your intuition works is through mind-mapping. It sounds techy, but mind-mapping is totally organic, that is, person-to-person. All you have to do is allow your partner to read your mind freely and confirm when they guess accurately. The more you confirm, the better you and your partner can intuit each other’s wants and needs. Read more here…

Take On Faith – January 22, 2022

Pathik Strand is the author of a new book, Flowering Into Awareness: A Spiritual Manifesto for the 21st Century. The book comes out January 28. He joined Rev. Xolani Kacela, host of Take On Faith, for a lively conversation about the nature of consciousness.

Strand’s book is described as “a collection of passionate and inspiring essays on the nature of reality, as seen from the perspective of the unity of all life.” During the interview, Strand shared his understanding of the world’s most pressing problem: the lack of self-knowledge in the world.

The solution, according to Strand, is knowing oneself, accepting consciousness as all there is, and living and giving love in ways to the world. Tune in for a lively conversation about consciousness, or awareness, and how it can change your life.

From Guest’s Publicist:

Flowering into Awareness was born from my many years of spiritual quest and the impact this journey has had on me and my life.

The greatest challenge in writing a book like this was to express concepts and ideas that can’t fully be put into words. This had to be done in a way that is easily accessible to the reader.

In the context of spiritual enquiry, it is very important to ask questions, even if those questions may never be answered.

Humanity is currently in the process of a spiritual awakening, but what does that mean? What is spirituality? What do we understand by that word?

A fundamental spiritual transformation is now an urgent necessity, but what does such a transformation entail, and how can it come about?

Peace on Earth will be a reality only when the power of love is greater than the love of power. Love is intrinsic to our nature, and thus we all have the ability to love unconditionally.
