The intention of this episode is for you to enter the heart
God dwells in the hearts of all beings,
beloved, your God dwells in your heart
and his power of wonder moves all things. . .
whirling them onwards on the stream of time. . . .
I have given you words of vision and wisdom
more secret than hidden mysteries.
Ponder them in the silence of your heart,
and then, in freedom, do your will. —THE BHAGAVAD GITA
From Christian contemplatives to Buddhist meditation masters, the world’s mystics have discovered the magic of communion with the Divine in their heart. They describe the heart as the nexus between this world and the spiritual world.
There, halfway between heaven and earth, they say, we can seek and find our essential reality. Thus the heart is more than a physical organ; it is the seat of our higher consciousness and the springboard for self-transformation.

Two recent Covid studies are concerning and deserve our attention. The first from the Department of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Research Institute in Basel, Switzerland finds that “vaccine-associated myocardial injury was far more common than previously thought.” Another study of Covid mask requirements found that mask mandates did not prevent Covid contraction. On the contrary, the Cornell University study shows that “districts that dropped mask mandates first experienced the largest decreases in cases (22% drop vs 12% in the masked districts).”

– *Decide that personal growth is the main priority in life:* The first step towards spiritual growth is to make a conscious decision to prioritize personal evolution above all else. This means acknowledging that external factors such as fame, finance, family, and relationships, while important, should not take precedence over one’s own growth and liberation.
– *Work on yourself every single minute of every single day, no matter what one is doing:* Spiritual growth is not limited to moments of meditation or yoga. It is a continuous process in your daily life. This means being mindful of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and constantly striving to improve yourself in all aspects of life. Whether at work, at home, or in social situations, you can use every moment as an opportunity for growth and self-improvement.
– *Watch yourself in day-to-day life and understand what takes you out of a peaceful state:* It is important to be aware of your inner thoughts and emotions and understand what triggers negative reactions. You can identify patterns and behaviors that disrupt your inner peace and work towards addressing them.
– *Fix what is broken inside yourself:* Once you have identified areas for improvement, the next step is to take action and fix what is broken inside yourself. This may involve addressing deep-seated emotional issues, letting go of negative thought patterns, or overcoming limiting beliefs. By following these action items, you can work towards a deeper sense of inner peace and fulfillment. While the path toward spiritual growth may be challenging at times, it is ultimately a rewarding journey that leads to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

The video features Michael A. Singer’s voice, Dr. Jeffrey Thompson’s brainwave entertainment audio, and subtitles. Hope you’ll enjoy it.
Dr. Jeffrey Thompson is an expert in using rhythmic pulses of sound to guide the listener’s brainwave activity, a technique known as brainwave entrainment audio. His audio tracks can induce relaxed, focused, and meditative states. Brainwave entrainment works by exposing the brain to external rhythms at a target frequency, causing brainwaves to synchronize with that frequency. This allows you to activate mental states linked to specific brainwave patterns. For example, alpha waves, which have frequencies around 8-12 Hz, are linked to relaxed but wakeful states, while theta waves are linked to meditation and beta waves to focus. For over 40 years, Dr. Thompson has pioneered brainwave audio using ambient music and nature sounds with embedded brainwave frequencies. His tracks provide an easy way to explore different states of consciousness and optimize your mind-body experience.
