Interesting and thought provoking conversation. Dr. Demartini has a gift in connecting what we have learned over the millenia and validated it with modern science. There truly is nothing new under the sun. Nevertheless, it's important to continually look at these enduring truths and wisdom in current contexts and cultures.

In my opinion, Dr. Demartini uses about 10 times more words than necessary. I get that he wants to show that his ideas and methods have a solid foundation in modern science. For me, interspersing scientific terms throughout does little to make his conversation more understandable or meaningful. Much like gratuitous violence in film, gratuitive verbiage adds little for me.

I agree with Dr Demartini that it is important to question our reasons and motives for admiring or despising others. I think it's vital for a healthy spiritual life to make that part of my prayer and meditation. The passage in the Bible known as the Woman Caught in Adultery (John 7) reflects this ancient wisdom. Jesus challenges those eager to stone the woman to death to look at themselves and their own motives ... let you who is without sin cast the first stone. Jesus shows us we need to look honestly at our motives when wanting to exact retribution.

I do think Dr. Demartini's belief that there is no evil is naive and in my opinion, possibly dangerous. And I'm always cautious of those who believe they have a unique insight or truth that is new to the world.

Regarding my path and purpose, I have had different ones in different circumstances and times of my life. Throughout my adult life, the consistent guidance from God to support and accompany those seeking a spiritual path to deepen their faith. I know I am NOT the way, the truth and the light but simply called to accompany those who God puts on my path to serve.

Thanks as always Graham for bringing interesting and thought provoking people to your podcasts. Blessings

Well said Karen. I agree. There is evil in this world. And, he did talk over my head. That being said, he did have many interesting things to say.

Okay, as best as I can I'll try to answer...What is my crystal clear vision for my life? There hasn't been one for most of my life until recently. So long I jumped from one thing to the other, always trying to find where I fit in, where I could most help others and be fulfilled at the same time. Most recently I discovered that after my near death that I should share the wisdom and insight I received with others who may be afraid of dying or wonder and is worried about where their passed loved one has gone.

So as uncomfortable as this is for me, I feel a pull toward certain people...almost like a magnet. I look into their eyes and I feel a certain knowing that this person is one that God has chosen for me to talk to. So that's what I've been doing. Not one person I have talked to asked me to stop or that I shouldn't have shared.

The reaction and emotions that arise from the talks with people have been so heartwarming and almost overwhelmingly sacred. Most of the time the person has told me they feel chills and are so grateful to hear what I had to say. Others have cried or teared up and tell me why what I said is so meaningful to them. They have said they recently had a loved one pass and worried where they might have gone and how they may feel there. Or they have someone close to them who is about ready to die and fears death.

As simple as this may seem for me to do...it isn't. It's difficult. I am not afraid to talk to strangers on a casual subject, but about death as a topic, I feel that isn't something people generally want to do...especially if meeting me for the first time. But the result has been quite the opposite. I connect with these folks and we exchange numbers sometimes. They have in turn shared their stories and how what I've shared is so meaningful to them.

I feel so very blessed and will continue to do what God instructed me to do. And yes, I'm now excited every day to get up for the chance to connect and spread God's words as much as I can for as long as I can. Realizing this vision has changed my own life more than I ever imagined it could be changed.

Graham, fantastic podcast. WOW, so much to take in, but what I can say the track I’m currently on is that I have a passion to help others let go of fear-grab hold of faith and renew their mind to unlock their God-given purpose and calling living confidently using Biblical led strategies. Within the last year, I’ve invested my heart, time, and financially to learn what all this means to help others transform their lives and know change is possible and not run from it. It’s basically using my own story and what I’ve learned in helping others. That’s why I’m still investing in learning from multiple sources that will eventually bring all this together. Graham, you and so many others were whom God placed in my life to bring me up to this point. Like you, I want to make a difference because I believe we are never too old to start. Thank you Graham and I plan on seeing you and the community on the after party zoom on Wednesday!

Thank you, Graham, for this thought provoking podcast which I know will reveal many more wise nuggets as I listen, pause and jot notes. One thought that kept racing through my mind as I listened was the importance of truly, deeply knowing myself. If I never achieve that my vision will be the vision that I perceive and believe others have for me rather than my own. Continued blessings and once again thank you for bringing us an amazing guest.

WoW! I am going to immediately watch this again. So much to take in! But so much truth to all of what Dr. John Demartini said. I have always felt that if someone I encounter disturbs me for reasons unknown, that it must be because it is a behavior that I have in me and I must have suppressed it because it frightens me or disgusts me. I have more questions than answers after this podcast but I feel it offered so much wisdom and concepts to really chew on. Whew...I'm out of breath!

You know it’s taking me all my life to figure out where I fit in! And I always wanted to stay in the comfort zone, but I’ve moved out of that comfort zone and that I found that when I write my poetry and I share it, I give a lot of people hope and inspiration and I never realize thatso this is something that I will be continuing. I don’t claim to be the greatest poet, but I talk from my heart and from my past experiences and if I can just make one person uplift in a day, it’s worth it.

Graham, Wow! What a podcast! Dr. DiMartini was incredible! Your questions were excrptionsl. I learned so much. The answer to how he gets guidance and the energy explained is what happens for me when I pray to God. I’m really looking forward to the adter party. Thank you for featuring him on your podcast. This is a new level for you.

What an amazing man.

To be made feel unworthy as a kid to what he has achieved in his life is nothing short of amazing.

He is highly intelligent and interesting.

Really enjoyed watching and listening.

Thank you Graham for once again bringing someone into our lives that most of us would never have known. ❤️❤️

Wow…what an amazing podcast Graham. First let me say that you have such a gift in selecting guests to interview. You are always so intentional about who you select and each one is fully and carefully vetted and you work so diligently in preparing yourself for the interview. You always select topics that add value to any listener’s life. It was so obvious that you had put in a lot of hours to educate yourself about Dr. Demartini’s human behavior work over the 50+ years and you took the time to read his book. I need to read The Breakthrough Experience.

Turning to Dr.Demartini…I was so impressed with his knowledge of Human Behavior. Yes he is an expert. In my master’s degree program, my field of concentration was in Human Behavior. I have always been attracted to this field and especially its Leadership aspects. But what impressed me most with Dr. Demartini was his connection of human behavior elements to LIFE…life of an individual. Never have I heard of this relationship of human behavior to life…relationship / connection to the individual so personally. To me this is genius. When I heard him talk about “empower yourself”…”master your life”…”let the voices and vision INSIDE become louder than the voices on the outside”…”invest in yourself”…”don’t focus on obstacles in life but instead for on solutions”… to me it’s such creative insights on his part to basically say and my words…expand love to add more meaning of life…and you also need to love yourself. Don’t look at others wishing you were like them. When you do you are not true to yourself…you lack honesty and integrity … and you are not authentic…these are just a few of my thoughts. There is so much more powerful content and wisdom from him which inspired me and I would have loved to have been the recipient of his teachings when I was in senior executive leadership positions in the earlier years of my career. Thanks Graham for selecting a topic so dear to me and for selecting Dr. Demartini to share his human behavior expertise with us.

Graham thank you so much for sharing your clear vision for the future with us. You are always so open about keeping us informed. My very best to you as you embark on your next endeavors in life. I’m coming along on your next journey for sure. Blessings to you🙏

Now…MY CLEAR VISION

Graham my vision for the rest of life that God gifts to me is clearly defined—-two fold and very simple. FIRST, I want to expand my love and support for my family to the highest level that is possible…love and support to Joyce who has a physical condition which will not improve. And love and support to my sons and their families and especially to my four grandkids. I enjoy the simple things with them…a family dinner…a sporting event at my alma mater here in town…watching them play sports…and just being in their presence to receive a hug or hear them say…I love you Pop Pops.

SECOND…my vision is to continue the personal growth journey I have been on over the last two and a half years. My life is so much more full and whole and I want to expand this fullness and wholeness in my life in the years ahead. If I am going to live my life in a sustainable way, my vision to achieve this sustainable and expansionary state of my life will require me to seek guidance from God daily and to LISTEN and to love Him more. I intend to do just that. Yes my vision is very clear and simple and I am so looking forward to celebrating life more in such beautiful ways. Thanks Graham for this challenge…you really have a gift to challenge me to share “me” so openly. Again thanks Graham.

FEELING OF FREEDOM PAOLA SELLARO (AUSTRALIA)

“FREEDOM IN MY BODY JUST FEELS TRUE AUTHENTICITY… FREEDOM OF BEING WHO YOU ARE. FREEDOM OF SPEAKING YOUR TRUTH. FREEDOM OF BEING SEEN AND HEARD AND FELT. FREEDOM OF BEING ABLE TO THINK. FREEDOM OF BEING ABLE TO TRUCE. FREEDOM OF WHAT WAS RIGHTFULLY OURS…WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN US!”

Post script - re podcast

Dr Demartini shares powerful information in a scientific based way about the workings of the brain etc - this is yet another example of how closely linked Quantum physics is with Faith - science and God coming together. All he shares here is quantifiable and true - and much easier integrated by the mind - however, the soul can 'feel' what he shares in words - just by going within and connecting to spirit through silencing the mind - and this, for me, is a far more reliable source - as it brings with it a 'knowing' that is indefinable and yet even more powerful. I was fascinated by this podcast - in that it confirmed what I feel deep within.

Thank you for sharing such a deep insightful conversation.

Interesting and inspirational. For some time my vision has been to share my heart with the world through my writing ✍️ I have long wanted to write scripts for film 🎥 to tell stories of triumph over adversity. To use the things that I've learned through trauma and turn them into something beautiful. I love to write - and at times I feel it floow through me without effort. This is my vision - and I believe, also my mission. To Love fully and without conditions - and to display that in all I do and say.

This was an amazing podcast Graham. Dr. Demartini is so impressive. I learned so much from him. I have spent most of my life in search of what my true gifts truly are. I believe are gifts change as our journey or path changes. In the past year my mind and heart have been awoken. Many of the things Dr. Demartini spoke about are things I’ve been striving to achieve. Listening to the inside not the outside, learning to love myself and encompassing love in all of my life, being honest and truthful with myself. I agree with if I am annoyed by something someone else is doing, then I must look inside because more than likely I do the same thing.

I have so much more to learn from Dr. Demartini and I will watch this podcast again. Thank you Graham for the amazing podcasts and people you bring to us. Many Blessings to you both 🙏🏻😊🙏🏻😊
