Do We Really Die Alone? Jun 22, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Debra Diamond, Ph.D. is a natural psychic/medium and medical intuitive who was gifted with her abilities as a child. She provides remarkable insights for her clients to assist in healing and expansion.

Debra earned an MBA from The George Washington University, a Masters Certificate in Contemporary Art from Christie’s Education and a Ph.D. from the Esoteric Interfaith Theological Seminary. She is a graduate of the Holistic Studies Institute of New York, has completed mediumship training at the Arthur Findlay College in the UK and trained at the Carl Jung Institute in Analytical Psychology in Zurich, Switzerland.

Today, I invited Debra back on the show to answer the question that so many are asking right now when they can't be with a loved one in the hospital...Do We Really Die Alone?

So many people right now are left feeling like their loved ones are dying alone and it is awful. Debra provides her insights on this.

She also discusses how to energetically be with your loved one even though you can’t physically be there.

There is so much grief and sadness particularly when you can’t have a “goodbye.” From your experience in hospice and as a medium what can help with this?

If people do have an opportunity to say goodbye even if it is via a tablet or phone it still feels so unfinished and how do we even know our loved ones hear us.

What do you feel like as people are dying matters most in the end?

Are We Obsessed with Immortality? with Piotr Bienkowski Jun 18, 2020

Show notes

Piotr Bienkowski's disciplinary background is as an archaeologist and museum curator. He has been Professor of Archaeology and Museology at the University of Manchester, Director of Manchester Museum, Chair of the North West Federation of Museums and Galleries, and before that Head of Antiquities at National Museums Liverpool. For many years, he was editor of Levant, the journal of the Council for British Research in the Levant, and editor of the British Academy Monographs in Archaeology series.

Where Airy Voices Lead by Piotr Bienkowski is the only book to comprehensively describe the varying historical and contemporary cultural beliefs in immortality globally, including western, eastern and animist traditions.

This book was a remarkable history of human’s seeming obsession with immortality.

In today's episode we discuss:

When human’s first started with this obsession with immortality?

The history many religious figures discuss their ability to connect with some higher power and so many people believe this but yet when people share today they have these experiences it is often dismissed, can you speak to that a bit.

You talk about the ongoing debate about the existence of the soul, what are some of the points on both sides of the argument as to whether or not a soul exists?

Will we ever come to any type of agreement on the soul?

How have we tried to achieve immortality?

Why do you think there is such a desire to achieve immortality and if we did, how do you think it would shift how we live?

Pitor's belief about what happens when die.

Defying Assumptions Jun 04, 2020

Show notes

In today's episode we revisit a story with Rabbi Wendi Geffen. It is a meaningful episode about the importance of reflecting on our implicit biases and how we each have the potential to change the outcome of a situation if we just stop for a minute and challenge our assuptions. It is difficult work to look inside ourselves but think about the potential outcome if Rabbi Geffen hadn't done so.
