Episode 180: Richard Harris - Unmasking Tyranny & The Pursuit of Higher Consciousness

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 00:00:00 -0400

Richard Harris has a huge heart and is a force for freedom from tyranny in all its forms. That said, he’s been censored and de-platformed for speaking out about medical mandates and mind control through nefarious agendas that use tactics of fear-based control to illicit compliance and conformity.

In this episode, we unmask some of tyranny’s disguises and share our own experiences with obedience training and fear-based control tactics that are used to create divisions through media, government, gender conditioning, and more.

I loved this conversation because Richard asked me as many questions as I asked him. Neither of us had an agenda other than to explore where our questions might lead us, and I’m thrilled with the territory we covered as we touched on the passions that keep us committed to the path of freedom and the pursuit of higher consciousness.

We discuss the importance of embracing curiosity, overcoming loneliness, and building self-respect. We also explore the division between awakening individuals and those who might be stuck in fear-based control and how COVID-19 accentuated and accelerated that divide using tactics of censorship, manipulation, and fear.

Richard shares his own experience with obedience trauma when he was sent to military school at the tender age of eight, where he remained until he turned eighteen years of age. He reveals that this intense obedience training ironically amplifies his value of autonomy and freedom. It also prepared him for what he sees as the spiritual battle playing out on the planet today. Richard shares his understanding of where we are in our human evolution and how reconnecting to our spiritual selves and pursuing the path of consciousness is the most liberating work we can do, I love what he shares about the spiritual powers and gifts of women being especially needed at this time, and how men benefit from women who are fully embodied and liberated to shine their true sovereign selves.

We also talk about walking the way of the warrior, the ancient spiritual path, and the middle path that calls us to unity by dispelling the many illusions that keep us in various states of polarity and how we can embrace the paradox of our existence to more clearly see the one true thing going on here.

Buckle your seatbelt- this conversation is a ride through the seen and unseen realms for sure!

Episode 129: Sophie Strand - Where the World Gets In

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 01 Jun 2022 00:00:00 -0400

I’m back with another dose of the enchanting Sophie Strand. Listen in as we dance in the magic of storytelling, ecology, revelation, and contemplation.

Sophie is someone who understands the power of myth-making and storytelling. She honed her abilities when she learned she had a life-threatening disease and began to write as if her life depended on it. What she came to realize is that all of our lives depend on it. Unless we generate new myths to live into, we will surely stay fast asleep in the culture of make-believe, where we consume everything without implication or consequence.

In this episode, Sophie and I continue where we left off. We meander into the wilderness where we make new connections, access revelations, and enchantment abounds- Join us! You won’t be bored!

Why should we compost old stories?
How can we understand disability, illness, and PTSD as a portal into greater ecological sensitivity?
What is ecological storytelling, and how can we begin to weave more awareness into our stories and our lives?
How does the story of Rabbi Yeshua teach us about ecological storytelling?
How can we become more ecologically embodied?
What does myth have to teach us about our specific locales?

Sophie Strand is a writer based in the Hudson Valley who focuses on the intersection of spirituality, storytelling, and ecology. Her first book of essays, The Flowering Wand: Rewilding the Sacred Masculine, will be published by Inner Traditions in Fall 2022 and is available for pre-order. Her eco-feminist historical fiction reimagining of the gospels The Madonna Secret will also be published by Inner Traditions in Spring 2023. Subscribe to her newsletter at sophiestrand.substack.com.

Episode 95: Cherie Burton - Feminine Embodiment

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 06 Oct 2021 00:15:00 -0400

How would your world change if you had an authentic, powerful connection to your body, to your soul, to the divine, and to others?
These times represent an embossed invitation with each of our names on it to go deep within to know ourselves more fully.

For most of our lives, we have been taught not to trust our bodies or our knowing. Therefore we learned to give our power to authorities such as educators, medical professionals, and those credentialed to “know better."

Reclaiming our own inner authority seems to be the message of these times as we learn how to unplug from the matrix and reveal our personal truth as chaos continues to swirl around us. This means that we also have to face the inner shadows of our human mess to feel into the truth that can only be found through our bodies and merging with our own physicality. Hello Fear!

There's an invitation to get intimate with the emotions and feelings that make us uncomfortable and learn to approach ourselves with love, compassion, and curiosity, and to befriend even the parts of ourselves that scare us.

Listen in as Cherie and I talk about what we are craving at a soul level and how these times beckon us to look beneath the surface and soul dive into our own inherent wisdom to discover our divinity through our beautiful bodies.

Cherie Burton is a mother of 6, author, international speaker, Women Seeking Wholeness podcast host, international business owner, and emotional restoration expert. She has worked in clinical mental health settings and now specializes in the science and spirituality of emotional healing and sensory integration, a "whole soul" approach. Cherie teaches the "new feminine leadership paradigm" – and has guided thousands of women worldwide to access their voices, creativity, power, and authenticity.

At the age of 53 and only within the past three years, Cherie came to understand how important embodiment is to her soul's journey.
Cherie was always taught that the body was a vehicle for temptation and to avoid her body at all costs.
She was taught that a woman's body is something to be feared, subjugated, and controlled.
Each person has the sovereign right to know themselves fully and to express themselves fully, even when their own truth isn’t aligned with yours.
Yoga and her love of knowing the divine feminine led Cherie to embrace her body and its wisdom.
Cherie shares personal stories of awakening and her love of helping to liberate women through the power of personal discernment, and to trust their bodies inherent knowing.

Episode 89: Sophie Strand - Catching Feathers & Ecological Embodiment

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 25 Aug 2021 00:00:00 -0400

*There are no accidents. *

As we awaken to our true work in the world, synchronicity becomes more frequent and intensely delightful.

Synchronicity is how we know that we are exactly where we need to be and that we are “right on time” with the divine.

It so happens that this idea of being “on time” is exactly the topic Sophie Strand writes about. Her piece, Catching The Feather, stopped me mid-Facebook scroll and took my breath away. Something in my body resonated at a cellular level, and I realized that she was speaking to a truth my body remembered.

I’ve been on a quest these past few months to reacquaint myself with my inner wild. That free and innate part of myself that has been tamed and contained, that forgot how to listen to the natural rhythm of life and needs to pick up the drum beat and dance. To allow myself to howl in my loneliness and smell my way to my knowing and dare to open to my ancient wisdom and memory. The wild part of me that remembers who I was before I was domesticated and separated from my true mother, mother earth, and the sensorial ecstasy of being alive outside the confines of the patriarchy.

Whenever I put my life and my intentions inside of my personal “Revelation Project,” I am always guided to the next human or experience, or tree, river, feather (ahem) I need to meet on my remarkable journey. My job is simply to trust that more will be revealed, and you know what?

More always is.

I’m honored to introduce you to Sophie Strand.

Sophie has much to teach us about returning to our senses and trusting our original design. As deeply interconnected beings, we are always at choice to feel into the intelligence that surrounds us and is within us. She invites us to speak to the trees, listen deeply to what the rivers have to say, and embody the community of mycelium to know more about truth, healing, and reciprocity. To decenter ourselves is to return to the wonder of nature and to discover where true love lives.

Thank you, Sophie, for your incredible work in the world! You are a revelation!

Listen in to our conversation to hear more about:

During the pandemic, when time and structure began to melt and we had to restructure our lives, Sophie began catching feathers while on her walks. She believes they held messages.
Our linear minds have a way of thinking about ourselves and the world that surrounds us. For many of us, the concept of “time” can be reimagined and reinterpreted as it’s changed.
Life is always giving us messages and symbols and numbers. Specific animals also often hold medicine and messages for us if we are willing to be curious and open to those.
What if we were to re-wild our understanding of the divine and even Mary Magdalene and Jesus? How would that change our understanding or our relationship to what they symbolized and the message of love they wanted to plant within us?
Revisiting myths before the patriarchy co-opted them is also a fertile place to revisit ideas of masculine and feminine.
The Greek word pharmacon can mean medicine or poison. It means “powerful substance.” Myths are like that - they can be medicine or poison.
Patriarchy has been conflated with masculine, and masculine has been conflated with patriarchy.
We need to re-wild myths with ecology because they are rooted there.
