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.

This week, on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Astrologer and Author, Steven Forrest.

Steven is the author of seventeen books, including The Inner Sky, Yesterday’s Sky, The Book(s) of Fire, Earth, Air and Water, and The Endless Sky. His work has been translated into a dozen languages and he has traveled worldwide to teach his brand of choice-centered evolutionary astrology – an integrative system that marries grounded humanistic psychology and ancient metaphysics, placing them in the context of free will and personal responsibility.

Currently Steven and his team teach online at the Forrest Center for Evolutionary Astrology. In 2018 he won the coveted Regulus Award for astrological education at the United Astrology Congress.

Steven believes that Evolutionary Astrology is a celebration of human freedom, choice and imagination. He says that it is your “fate” only to face certain questions and certain possibilities in this lifetime. Beyond that, there is no use for the word. Skilled evolutionary astrologers are coaches, not prophets. They help you find your own path and they support you in having the faith and the confidence to navigate it. That is what he has dedicated his life to.

This week, on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Writer, Professor, and Researcher, Rick Strassman, M.D.

Dr. Rick Strassman is an adjunct associate professor of psychiatry at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine. From 1990 to 1995 he performed the first new human research with psychedelic drugs in the United States in more than 20 years, studying the powerful naturally occurring compound DMT as well as psilocybin.

He is the author of several popular books on the topic of psychedelics, including DMT: The Spirit Molecule, The Psychedelic Handbook, and DMT and the Soul of Prophecy.

In his most recent book, My Altered States, Dr. Strassman analyses dozens of episodes of altered consciousness that occurred during, or are intimately tied to, his life between birth and young adulthood. Just as significant as the ecstatic blissful experiences are the uncensored and, at times, painfully unvarnished narratives of less elevated ones.

This week, on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Writer, Teacher, and Mama Iachak, Martha Travers, Ph.D.

Dr. Travers apprenticed with the Ecuadorian Kichwa elder Taita Alberto Taxo for 22 years, and spent 10 years visiting the indigenous Kichwa tribe in the Andes.

She holds a doctorate in English literature from the University of Michigan and teaches contemplative practices at the University of Michigan, at the GilChrist Retreat Center, and at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Park.

In her latest book, Shamanic Teachings of the Condor, she presents Taita Alberto’s teachings as if you were one of his shamanic apprentices. She reveals the ancient mystical traditions of the Andes, traditions saved by the elders specifically for these times. These traditions of healing invite human beings to return to intimacy with Nature and the natural world, through initiating conversations with the elements including the fifth, spiritual element, the Ushai.

She also writes about the delicate dance of the Eagle (the mind) and the Condor (the heart), and delves into how to reestablish the path of the heart to help bring the overactive mind into balance, the key to embarking on powerful shamanic journeys
