This week, on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Professor, Pastor, and Author, Douglas M. Gillette.

Douglas Gillette, has a master of religious studies degree from the University of Chicago and a master of divinity degree from the Chicago Theological Seminary. He taught in the Emeritus Program at Oakton College for nearly two decades as well as served as a pastor, pastoral counselor, and a Jungian-influenced life guide.

The bestselling author of several books, including King, Warrior, Magician, Lover coauthored with Robert Moore. His latest book is Soul Making - The Realization of the Mystical Life.

Through his own story of spiritual self-realization, Douglas explores the paradox that lies at the heart of the quest for union with the Divine. Those of us on the mystical path are each working on our souls to better reflect their Divine nature, yet we are already reflections of the Divine. To help you embrace this paradox, Douglas provides mythic stories of soul development and intuition from Maya and Pythagorean traditions, ancient Egyptian thought, and Zoroastrianism.

He shows how embracing the power of emotions like wonder, dread, and awe, provide a mirror that allows us to see ourselves as infinite and immortal people on finite and mortal adventures.

Welcome back to another special episode of The Conscious Consultant Hour. Join us this week as we dive deep into the topic of sadness, and how we can use it to help us live more fully.

Sadness is something we often try to avoid, push away, or cover up. It can feel heavy and uncomfortable, and many of us have been taught that feeling sad means something is wrong with us. But sadness, like all emotions, has a purpose. It's not here to punish us but to reveal something important.

When we give ourselves permission to feel our sadness, rather than resisting it, we open the door to deeper healing and a more honest connection with ourselves.

Instead of seeing sadness as a problem to fix, what if we saw it as an invitation? Sadness invites us to slow down, to listen more carefully to the parts of ourselves that are hurting or longing for attention. It reminds us that we care deeply, that we have dreams, hopes, and connections that matter to us. By honoring our sadness instead of numbing it, we begin to build trust with ourselves and that trust lays the foundation for real growth and emotional freedom.

Living fully means welcoming all of who we are, even the parts that feel tender and raw. Sadness is not something to "get rid of" but something to work with, to learn from, and ultimately, to befriend. When we stop fighting our pain and start listening to it, we find that life opens up in new and surprising ways. We become more present, more compassionate, and more free to experience the richness of being human.

Tune in and share your own thoughts and feelings about sadness and how we can use it on our YouTube livestream or on our Facebook page.
