  Hello and welcome to the Discovering Spirituality podcast. Episode 14: Identity. In this podcast I will be sharing my thoughts on the writing "Identity" taken from the channeled book "The light in Your Life is Spirit" by George A. Thompson. Who are you? How do you see yourself? You are a man, a woman, a boy, a girl, are you Japanese or British? Do you like to paint or fix cars, are you a fan of sports or rap music? Do you vote conservative or do you vote labor, republican or democrat? There are so many influences in society that enable us to create an identity. As a child it usually starts with your gender, then as you grow you identify with your family, your sense of belonging. As a teenager you might identify yourself with a particular aspect of pop culture, whether it be music, movies, art or literature.

Hello and welcome to the Discovering Spirituality podcast. Episode 13: The Gospels. In this podcast I will be sharing my thoughts on the writing " The Gospels" taken from the channeled book "The light in Your Life is Spirit" by George A. Thompson.

And how he rose from the dead to give final instruction to his discipline about what they should do. I also know the story of how he was betrayed by a kiss from Judas. I know the story of how Mary Magdalene anointed his feet with oils. My point is that I kno...

Hello and welcome to the Discovering Spirituality podcast. Episode 12: Adversity of the Human Spirit. In this podcast I will be sharing my thoughts on the writing "Adversity of the Human Spirit" taken from the channeled book "The light in Your Life is Spirit" by George A. Thompson. Firstly I would like to examine the word "Adversity". To me, at this point in my human understanding, adversity means basically conditions that cause suffering. Conditions that are adverse are less than ideal, but is it fair to say that these conditions can change and if we apply our will and understanding we can develop the appropriate solution to the problem. Conditions that can affect human development are conflict, fear, hate, misunderstanding, inadequate environmental factors, financial misfortune, abuse and acts of violence. These of course are just a few instances that come to mind at the time of this writing. If we examine the adversity that is faced by children we cann...
