Please join us and our guest, Joanne DiMaggio, for a show on The Inner Light: How the Beatles Planted the Spiritual Seeds in Our Soul. For over 35 years, Joanne DiMaggio MA, CHt, renowned author, speaker and therapist, has pursued a passionate interest in reincarnation research and past-life therapy. Having penned many books on the topic, she is a highly sought-after conference speaker and an acclaimed guest on numerous radio programs and podcasts. So why now write a book about the Beatles? “Well, for starters,” says Joanne, “it answers the question of why I became so immersed in the world of esoteric philosophies. In The Inner Light, I recount my years as a Beatles fan club president and my perspective on how the sixties, the music, and the Catholic Church played a role in my own spiritual evolution. And now, as we approach the 60th anniversary of the group’s arrival in New York, it is time to share my story with the millions of others who have been equally and inextricably influenced by this extraordinary group.” Joanne explores the band members’ esoteric beliefs, particularly expanded and reflected in their music, after their trip to India to work with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the creator of Transcendental Meditation. Joanne also pieces together group members’ viewpoints on reincarnation, death, past lives, group incarnations, astrology, tarot, numerology, and kundalini energy. She also explores how John Lennon and Paul McCartney used writing in an altered state of consciousness to compose some of their music. At the end of the book Joanne revisits the question of whether the Beatles were the ones responsible for illuminating the path that led her from being a Beatles fan club president to a career as an acclaimed past-life researcher and author. She answers it with a resounding, YES! Learn more at https://JoanneDiMaggio.com.

Please join us and our guest, Dick Larson, for a show on The Emergence of the World Teacher, Maitreya. Maitreya is known to the world's major religions as the Christ, the Buddha, Imam Mahdi, Bodhisattva, Krishna and the Messiah. His return to the everyday world fulfills the expectations of the world's religions for the coming of a great teacher. In Christian terminology His appearance is known as the Second Coming. However, Maitreya is not a religious teacher and is not here to create a new religion. Rather, He is a teacher in the broadest sense of the word. He embodies the Christ Principle or Consciousness, the first of humanity on Earth to achieve that exalted status. Benjamin Creme (1922-2016), principal spokesperson for Maitreya for over 40 years, from Glasgow, Scotland, was an artist, esoterist, futurist, and author of 17 books on Ageless Wisdom Teachings and was the primary source of information about the World Teacher for this age. Dick Larson is part of a large cadre of coworkers informing the world of Maitreya's return since the 1970s, creating a climate of expectancy and hope to help facilitate Maitreya's emergence. Dick was a corporate business executive before becoming a counselor and educator. He is a volunteer for worldwide organization Share International (ShareInternational.org). He has been a guest on radio talk shows and produced a series of national public access TV shows. Dick hosted three television interviews with Benjamin and spent extensive time with him discussing the World Teacher and the Ageless Wisdom Teachings. About every 2,000 years, great teachers have appeared at the beginning of each new planetary cycle to offer teachings that will stimulate the next evolutionary step for humanity. We are now at the beginning of such a cycle, and the expected teacher for this age—the World Teacher, Maitreya—is here now.

Please join us and our guest, Tau Malachi, for a show on The Gnostic Path of St. Thomas: Exploring the Heart of the Gospel. Written roughly a century earlier than the four gospels that appear in the Bible, the Gospel of St. Thomas features 114 verses detailing an inward, mystical spirituality, thought to be some of the closest records to Yeshua’s (Jesus’) teachings. Malachi’s book explores each of these translated verses and helps you embody their lessons. Focusing not on sin but on the ignorance that leads to sin and suffering, the Gospel of Thomas reveals the Messiah’s secret knowledge which will enlighten and liberate you. With a focus on the true meaning of each verse, The Gnostic Path of St. Thomas will enrich your life by opening your eyes to the innate unity with God and the Divine Soul within us all. Tau Malachi (Northern California) founded Sophia Fellowship in 1983 and has been teaching and initiating others into Christian Gnosticism, Rosicrucian Philosophy, and Christian Kabbalah ever since.

Every person—whether baby, child, teenager, or adult—interacts with the world in their own unique way. Yet some have a harder time than others due to a variety of sensory processing issues, which can lead to motor delays, learning differences, frustration, anxiety, emotional, behavioral, and social challenges, as well as diagnoses like ADHD and “autism spectrum.” As sensory integration expert Dr. Dietz reveals, these children are not “broken.” We are all unique, some just need more options and new ways to approach the world in order to make better sense of it. Speaking from her decades of professional experience as well as her own journey to help her oldest son, Sally shares in-depth guidance to help you find the right therapeutic support for your child.
