Becoming Findhorn and Incarnational Spirituality

At Home Podcast: Becoming Findhorn and Incarnational Spirituality with Special Guests, David and Julie Spangler Some of you know that I was born into a very out of the ordinary circumstance…born at a place best known for it’s magic…Findhorn, Scotland. From a young age, I knew it meant something. We live in a time now where children much younger than I grow up reading the stories of Harry Potter. They dream of these places as if they are simply imaginary. But where I was born people really did talk to plants, believed in beings who exist in other dimensions. Those that were there…still do. This summer I got to visit with David and Julie Spangler, in Issaquah, Washington. Both were at Findhorn when my parents met there, and from my earliest memories of meeting David, around four years old, I knew there was something very special about him. DAVID SPANGLER is a spiritual explorer, teacher, writer, husband, father, and grandfather. While studying at Arizona State University to become a molecular biologist, a childhood contact with subtle worlds blossomed into a collaborative relationship with inner beings. This contact resulted in his leaving the university in 1965 at the age of twenty. He then began a career as a teacher and explorer of subtle realms that he still pursues today, over fifty years later. He was Co-director of the Findhorn Foundation Community in northern Scotland from 1979-1973, a Lindisfarne Fellow, and in late 1974, he became the Founder of the Lorian Association. His work with both his non-physical colleagues and Lorian associates led to the development of “Incarnational Spirituality”. He is the author of over thirty books including “Journey Into Fire”, “Apprenticed To Spirit”, and “Working with Subtle Energies”, as well as four anthologies of short stories. He writes a free monthly email essay called, “David’s Desk” and information regarding “David’s Desk”, online courses and workshops can be found online at Lorian.org. David currently resides in Washington State with his wife, Julie Spangler. JULIE SPANGLER finished University, and at the age of twenty years. It was then that she felt a deep desire to delve into her personal spiritual path. She was led by the inspired stories that her older sister and brother-in-law told her about the Findhorn Community in northern Scotland and felt a deep inner resonance with what the community was about; and in particular, with the work that her now husband, David Spangler, was bringing through in his teachings and writings. Julie is the mother of four adult children, has taught parenting classes for twenty years, and has been a dedicated counselor and teacher working through the Lorian Association, which was founded by her husband, David. She currently resides in Washington State with her husband, David Spangler. This very special interview with David and Julie allowed me to ask some questions I’ve long wondered. I hope it inspires you and reminds you, as it did for me, that we have access to so much more than we may know when we develop our subtle awareness and commit to truly incarnating in ways we may have never before imagined. #realmagic #magic #magical #magicallife #Findhorn #dimensions #mystical #dreams #talkingtoplants #magicalcreatures #magicmind #scotland #consciousliving #awareness #aware #awakening #athomepodcast #terragoldwellness #podcast #podcastshow

Life With The Doog Walker

DOOGIE GOLDSTEIN, known as ZAIRE in his youth grew up in Marin City, California during the 1980’s. During that time, he began playing organ for his church, his family and com-munity, discovering in that process, that he could create music in a recording studio for not a lot of money. He was poised and positioned, at the early age of eighteen-years-old, to be an integral part of the early nineties music scene ---he and his brother was involved in the early recordings of Tupac Shakur and many other artists in the rap music scene at that time. He started his own record label, Do It Again (D1A) Records, when he was still in high school—which involved writing and producing literally over 1,200 songs. Doogie empowered many young black musicians—especially in the Bay Area and Los Angeles area. He has an inspiring and truly redemptive story, but by the time he was thirty he was “stunned” to discover that he was still actually alive. He realized, the hard way, that the path of fame, fortune and excess can lead to a life of great destruction. After leaving the music industry and living in Paris France and New Zealand, Doogie has gone full circle, living in Marin City, and creating an enterprise known as “the DOOG WALKER”, a company that trains people through their dogs by providing dog walking services and many creative, fashion-forward accessories for canines. Through his dog walking service, as he puts it, “he is walking off his sins”. I have known Doogie since I was fifteen-years-old. To connect with this wise and generous man after all these years, was a big gift for me in the making of this Podcast. Enjoy!

Tea, in lndia, began in early 1800’s with the flourishing East India Co. and England’s inability to access tea from China. English spies in China smuggle seeds out and bring to India to grow.

Current location of Babington’s survived WWI and WWII and never closed. Democratic nature of the tea house has has existed since opening-a place that has hosted political rivals simul-taneously. Tea House has always been a place that women could go to by themselves and was the first public place that offered a public rest-room for women. Closed ½ day when Americans and English liberated the city and ended the war. Historical facts cont.

The opening of a women’s restroom also makes the newspaper headlines. 00:19:50 – 00:27:29 Evolution of the décor over the years from austere to English quirkiness. The attitude of love and caring the owners and servers exhibit for the tea house, its place in history and as place where history was and is often made.
