A Christmas Story/Jean Shepherd Tribute Hour 1 of 2 with Host Dr. Bob Hieronimus

Dr. Bob Hieronimus sits down with two historians on the radio storyteller Jean Shepherd, author of “A Christmas Story”.  Many folks watch the nostalgic movie every year with their family and laugh at the triple-dog-dare story of the tongue freezing to the flag pole, and the pink bunny suit as a present from a distant aunt, and the big prize won by the old man that was the leg lamp.  Most people do not realize that the narrator and author of this beloved movie wrote several other books and films that were even better, and hundreds of articles, and all this after a long story-telling career on WOR in New York.  Fans of Jean Shepherd remain loyal to this day charmed by his unique style and amazing ability to spin long detailed stories  on mundane topics making them the most fascinating thing you heard all day. 

Hour one of this two-hour tribute features guest Jeff Clavin, the operator of a website called flicklives.com, talking about biography of Jean Shepherd and the facts of where he was when, etc.  Second guest is Jeff Beauchamp talking about the historical archive of Shepherd’s radio programs archived on mp3, a free exchange service.

House Healing with Tim Walter

In simple terms, what we do as house healers is to use dowsing to highlight detrimental aspects that are present in a house or place of work be they geo-or electromagnetic interference or natural emanations from underground water flows. We work with a list of over fifty section heading s of subtle energy incursions that might be affecting somebody including the presence of unwelcome ghosts and spirits. We plot these aspects on a floorplan provided by the client using dowsing. All aspects found are then re-balanced using heart-felt (compassionate) focused intent (prayer). All our work is done in alignment with the Divine forces of creation, so in this sense, we simply ask God (whatever that may be) for change to occur.

For 30 years starting in 1983, Tim Walter worked as a successful corporate video writer, director and producer. However, in the early 2000’s, his interest in the stressful deadline driven corporate world had started to wane because his life had radically changed perspective. The family had moved house in 1998 and discovered where they now lived contained a ghost. This personality was a delightful caring soul that the family spoke to using dowsing. She introduced Tim to the concept of “earth energy” which eventually led him to establish a network of international house healers. These are Highly Sensitive People who help others by communicating with the over-seeing subtle energy fields of our existence. Once aligned with this simple ancient process of focused intention and positive heart resonance, we can ride the waves of great change. This process might be considered “reality engineering”: it is a spiritual pursuit that seeks to harmonise the seemingly external world through inner practice.

Individuality and Primal Unity: Ego’s Struggle for Dominance in with Jim Willis

Merlin the Magician: A Mystery for the Ages: Volume I: Ego and Earth Magic 

Sometimes religion is not enough. We need more. Sometimes scientific explanations are insufficient. We need more. Sometimes mythological relevance doesn't quite satisfy. We need more. Sometimes psychological motivation doesn't do it for us. We need more. Sometimes philosophical discussion falls short. We need more. Merlin has become the "more."

Robin Hood: Victory Through Defiance: Volume II: Ego and the Hero (Individuality and Primal Unity: Ego's Struggle for Dominance in Today's World)

The Hero, Robin Hood, is a nature man who is at home in the wild forests of Sherwood. He defies the ego-centric, power-hungry sheriff of Nottingham, who remains ensconced in his fortified urban castle. In the end, the Hero teaches us to be victorious by defying Ego's claims on personal freedom and individual choice. Robin Hood refuses walls and the loss of independence. His final victory is assured with the return of King Richard, and his marriage to Marian reunites nature and civilization into one spiritual landscape.

Little Snow White: A Road Map for Our Time (Individuality and Primal Unity: Ego's Struggle for Dominance in Today's World )

n the story of Little Snow White, the metaphorical Queen Ego, secure in her castle, seeks to destroy Snow White, the personification of Intuitive Innocence. Snow White lives in the wild forest "across the seven mountains" with the seven dwarfs. In the end, Innocence triumphs over Ego through her interaction with earth energies. Once victory is assured, her marriage to the prince from a faraway, mysterious land, unites the physical and the spiritual aspects of life in our perception realm. An old fairy tale thus becomes a roadmap for fulfillment in modern day life.

Rukmini and the Turning of Time: The Dawn of an Era with Dena Merriam

This book is told through the voice of a dancer in ancient Dwarka, a city on the western coast of India. It was on a pilgrimage to Dwarka a few years ago that Dena experienced her life. But even though this book recounts events in her life and follows her through three incarnations, this story is not truly about her but about Rukmini, the one who was working behind the scenes, as Rukmini and Shri Krishna set the framework for the era that was beginning to unfold. This narrative shows how Rukmini Mata enabled those around her to fulfil samskaras from past births―the karma one has accrued in the cycle of life, death, and rebirth―bringing closure to unfinished relationships and desires. Dena include many stories told by women to other women, recounted by those living in Dwarka in close association with Rukmini, in the hope of showing how an incarnation of the Universal Mother comes to guide an evolving humanity.

Dena Merriam began work in the inter-faith movement in 1990s as Vice Chair of the Millennium World Peace Summit of Religious Leaders held at the UN in 2000. She is the founder of the Global Peace Initiative of Women (GPIW). For over 40 years, she has been a student of Paramahansa Yogananda and a meditation practitioner. She received her MA from Columbia Univ. In 2014 she received the Niwano Peace Prize for her interfaith peace efforts. She is the author of the book My Journey Through Time - A Spiritual Memoir of Life, Death and Rebirth, The Untold Story of Sita, & When the Bright Moon Rises.
