BONUS MONDAYS: How to ELIMINATE Stress, Anxiety & Depression in Just Minutes A Day! with Dean Sluyter

BONUS MONDAYS: How to ELIMINATE Stress, Anxiety & Depression in Just Minutes A Day! with Dean Sluyter

In the serene landscape of today's episode, we welcome the profoundly insightful Dean Sluyter, a seasoned meditation teacher and author whose journey through spirituality and popular culture provides a unique perspective on awakening and mindfulness. Dean's approach to meditation and his exploration of spiritual themes within cinema and literature offer a refreshing and accessible path to deeper understanding and enlightenment.Dean Sluyter began his spiritual journey early, experiencing spontaneous moments of awakening as a child. He recounts a pivotal moment at the age of 11 when he discovered a copy of Mad Magazine, whose motto, “What, me worry?” sparked a profound realization about the nature of his own anxious mind. This early insight set the stage for his lifelong exploration of spirituality and the mind's potential to achieve peace and clarity through meditation.

SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
  1. The Power of Effortless Meditation: Dean emphasizes that meditation is not about forcing the mind to be silent but rather allowing it to settle naturally. This approach aligns with his philosophy that true peace comes from embracing our thoughts and emotions without resistance.
  2. Understanding the Monkey Mind: Dean debunks the myth of the monkey mind, illustrating that our thoughts are not the problem; rather, it's our relationship with them. By recognizing that the mind's chatter is a natural part of our being, we can learn to coexist with it peacefully.
  3. Cinema as a Spiritual Tool: Through his work, Dean demonstrates how films can offer profound spiritual lessons. By analyzing movies like "The Truman Show" and "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," he reveals deeper truths about the human experience and our quest for awakening.
Dean's analysis of popular movies provides a fascinating lens through which to view spiritual teachings. He describes how "The Truman Show" illustrates the awakening process, with Truman's realization that his world is a constructed reality serving as a metaphor for our own journey towards enlightenment. Similarly, he interprets "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" as a story about the different aspects of our psyche, with each dwarf representing a different facet of our personality.In our conversation, Dean delves into the nuances of meditation, sharing his personal experiences and the insights he has gained from years of practice. "Meditation is the one thing where working doesn't work," he explains. "Not working works." This paradoxical approach to meditation underscores the importance of allowing ourselves to be, rather than striving to achieve a specific state of mind.Dean’s wisdom extends beyond traditional spiritual practices, as he incorporates lessons from various aspects of life and culture. His holistic approach encourages us to find spirituality in everyday experiences, whether through meditation, watching a movie, or simply being present in the moment.Dean's contributions to spiritual literature include several acclaimed books such as "Natural Meditation: A Guide to Effortless Meditative Practice," where he offers practical guidance on finding peace and clarity through meditation. In "Cinema Nirvana: Enlightenment Lessons from the Movies," he explores the spiritual lessons embedded in classic films, providing a unique perspective on how popular culture can illuminate the path to enlightenment. His latest work, "The Dharma Bum’s Guide to Western Literature: Finding Nirvana in the Classics," delves into the spiritual insights found in great works of Western literature, demonstrating how timeless wisdom can be discovered in unexpected places. The conversation also touches on the importance of community in spiritual practice. Dean emphasizes that while personal meditation is crucial, the support and guidance of a community can enhance our journey. He offers free guided meditation sessions via Zoom, encouraging others to join and benefit from shared experiences and mutual support.In conclusion, Dean Sluyter's teachings remind us that spirituality is not about escaping the world but engaging with it more deeply and authentically. His insights into meditation, the nature of the mind, and the spiritual lessons found in popular culture offer a practical and profound path to greater awareness and peace.

NLS 190: Adamus St. Germain Speaks! Channeled Wisdom That Changes Lives with Geoffrey Hoppe

Geoffrey Hoppe is the founder of the international Crimson Circle organization and the channeler for Adamus Saint-Germain. Adamus is an aspect of the well-known St. Germain, who uses the Adamus moniker to differentiate his work with the Crimson Circle from his past work with other channelers. The current Adamus messages focus on the journey from awakening into embodied Realization.Through a series of “destiny events,” Geoffrey started his spiritual path in 1999 by channeling Tobias. What is now known as the Crimson Circle went viral within a few months, growing into an international endeavor as Geoffrey and his wife Linda traveled around the world. When Tobias incarnated back to earth in 2009, Adamus Saint-Germain took over the guidance role for the Crimson Circle and has been a strong presence ever since.Earlier in life, Geoffrey served a few years in the US Army as a Public Information Specialist at the NASA Ames Research Center (Mountain View, California) and then stepped into the business world. After serving in management positions in several advertising agencies, Geoffrey started his own marketing consulting company in Dallas, Texas, at age 28.Later on, he co-founded an aviation telecommunications company (provider of Internet services for business jets and commercial airlines, now known as Gogo), serving as Vice President of Sales and Marketing until 2001. In a stroke of ironic prescience, Geoffrey holds three patents for multidimensional telecommunications technologies.Geoffrey and his wife Linda have been married for 45 years. They reside in Golden, Colorado, and Kona, Hawaii. Their life is devoted to the Crimson Circle's work around the world.Please enjoy my conversation with Geoffrey Hoppe.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.Take your spiritual journey to the next level with Next Level Soul TV — our dedicated streaming home for conscious storytelling and soulful transformation.Experience exclusive programs, original series, movies, tv shows, workshops, audiobooks, meditations, and a growing library of inspiring content created to elevate, heal, and awaken.
