Mind Love™ • Consciousness, Spirituality, and Science for Awakening

What if your entire spiritual search is just you running from yourself?

Swami Revatikanta breaks down why most people chase enlightenment for the wrong reasons and why that chase guarantees you'll never find it. This conversation goes beyond surface-level spirituality into the psychological patterns that keep seekers performing instead of transforming.

What you'll learn:
Why re-deciding who you are daily matters more than past commitments
How God chasing you works (not the other way around)
Why simplicity and clarity are the same thing

Swami Revatikanta has been a monk for nearly 20 years and hosts the podcast Thinking Bhakti. He teaches that devotion without thinking is dangerous and bridges ancient Bhakti wisdom with modern psychological insight.

Why is almost all communication coaching worse than useless?

Michael Hoeppner breaks down why mental advice for what's actually a physical art form keeps you stuck in self-consciousness and thought suppression. This conversation goes beyond tips and tricks into the neuroscience of why trying NOT to say "um" makes you say it more.

What you'll learn:
Why speaking takes 120 muscles but gets mental coaching
How thought suppression sabotages your communication automatically
The embodied cognition approach that actually builds skill

Michael Hoeppner coaches presidential candidates and created GK Training. He's the author of bestseller "Don't Say Um" and has spent decades studying why conventional communication advice backfires.

What was the moment you realized you were spending more time diagnosing your partner than actually working on the relationship?

Dr. Isabelle Morley breaks down why therapy language has become our defense mechanism instead of our healing tool. This conversation goes beyond surface-level awareness into why using clinical terms to explain our pain actually keeps us stuck in the pattern.

What you'll learn:
Why the person doing the diagnosing often needs more work
How weaponizing therapy speak blocks real intimacy and accountability
The negative cycle that makes everyone look pathological when triggered

Dr. Isabelle Morley is a couples therapist practicing Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Her work focuses on helping people stop using clinical language as a weapon and start accessing the vulnerability underneath their defenses.

What if creativity isn't a metaphor for magic but literally the same thing?

Pam Grossman breaks down why the creative process and magical practice use identical mechanisms—and why that's not poetic language, it's actual reality. This conversation goes beyond surface-level inspiration into the suppressed history of why magic was banned (spoiler: it threatened capitalism, not logic).

What you'll learn:
Why casting a creative circle works identically to casting spells
The magician's pose: one hand up receiving, one hand down grounding
How magic was suppressed to control populations, not because it was fake

Pam Grossman is the author of Magic Maker: The Enchanted Path to Creativity and host of The Witch Wave podcast. She's spent decades studying why the most effective creators throughout history—from Beyoncé to Benjamin Franklin—used techniques traditionally considered magical.

What if every time you said "I'll try," you were actually announcing you just weren't going to do it?

Carla Ondrasik breaks down why "trying" sabotages your goals and why your brain literally can't process the word. This conversation goes beyond surface-level motivation into the neuroscience of language and accountability.

What you'll discover:
- Why children under two never say "try" until shame enters
- What happens in your brain when you attempt the try test
- How "I'll try" creates a grab bag of excuses with zero accountability

Carla Ondrasik spent 25 years in music publishing before writing "Stop Trying," challenging one of the most ingrained patterns in modern culture.

This week's challenge: Become hyper-aware of every time you say "try"—count how many times before 10 a.m.
