Philip Goldberg – The Life of Yogananda

The word guru is used frequently in modern vernacular to imply an expert or master in a field. We hear about financial gurus, tech gurus and fashion gurus. The word guru comes from Sanskrit and translates as “spiritual teacher” and literally, a dispeller of darkness. When we think of modern gurus, perhaps Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Satya Sai Baba and Swami Satchidananda come to mind, but the first modern “superstar guru” was Yogananda. Ninety-seven years after his arrival in the United States and 65 years after his transition, Paramahansa Yogananda remains the best known and most beloved of all the Indian spiritual teachers who came to the west. This is because of the durability of his teachings and the institutions he created and inspired, including more than 600 centers worldwide, and his landmark memoir, Autobiography of a Yogi. The book has sold millions of copies since its publication in 1946, but there are huge gaps in the story it tells. Yoganada spent more than 39 of his 59 years in America, yet that period takes up less than 10 percent of his book. Major events in his life, including challenges, controversies, relationships, formative experiences, are still unknown even to the most ardent of his devotees.

My guest this week on Destination Unlimited, Philip Goldberg, has meticulously researched the life of Yoganada to share the rest of his story. Philip grew up in Brooklyn, New York and now lives in Los Angeles. A professional writer for more than forty years, he is author and co-author of some 25 books published in more than a dozen languages. He is also a skilled public speaker, workshop leader, spiritual counselor and the co-host of the popular podcast, Spirit Matters. He blogs at Huffington Post and Spirituality and Health, and contributes to other publications. His previous book, American Veda, chronicled the impact of India’s spiritual teachings on the West and was named one of the top ten Religion Books of 2010. His website is philipgoldberg.com and he joins me this week to discuss his just published book, The Life of Yogananda – The Story of the Yogi Who Became the First Modern Guru.

How the Two-Party System Gave the American People a Wedgie

A Conversation with Erik Fogg, Author of Wedged: How You Became a Tool of the Partisan Political Establishment and How to Start Thinking for Yourself Again

“We have a deeply-divided body politic in this country. Half the population believes our elections are broken, the other half believe they are fixed.” — Swami Beyondananda

I know I have shared this story before, but given our current political “shituation”, it’s worth sharing again. On the Sunday before the 2016 election, 60 Minutes gathered 25 prospective voters from across the political spectrum together, and asked them, “Who will be voting for the candidate of their choice this Tuesday?”

Three people raised their hands.

They were then asked, “And how many of you will be voting AGAINST another candidate?”

The remaining 22 people raised their hands.

How did this come about? And how is it that the American public has become so polarized that the only thing they agree on is that the system isn’t working?

Wedge issues, says this week’s guest, Erik Fogg. He is the author of Wedged: How You Became a Tool of the Partisan Political Establishment and How to Start Thinking for Yourself Again, and he maintains that the “political industrial complex” that benefits from a polarized electorate has insured that the divisive “wedge” issues that KEEP us polarized are kept front and center.

His book — and this interview — offers heartening information on how we the people can liberate ourselves from our “addiction” to being adrenalized by polarizing issues, and become wiser citizens working in accord.

Erik Fogg is a graduate of MIT, where he studied mechanical engineering and political science. He earned his Masters of Science, co-authoring a number of academic papers while a student and while working with MIT, Harvard, the United Nations, and other NGOs on conflict resolution. He then spent four years as an operations and management consultant, improving organizational effectiveness and culture for a number of clients across North America.

Erik currently resides in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is the CEO of MidTide Media, and co-founder of Something to Consider, focused on improving American political dialogue by undermining the destructive mindsets that ail politics in the US.

Here is a quote from his book:

“A wedge has been driven into American politics by powerful political, social, and economic incentives that are very difficult to overcome. The middle ground has fallen out of the political process, leaving power in the hands of hardline partisans that frame the national agenda and direct our political energy towards emotionally satisfying–but politically unproductive–tribal warfare.”

Find out how we HAVE liberated ourselves from at least one polarizing issue, and what we can do to shift the energy from tribe vs. tribe to one big tribe, where we learn to “disagree productively.”

Helping Our Boys Navigate Emotions and Trauma with boy-expert Janet Allison

Wow, this fact, from the work of Michael Gurian, blew me away; “Anger is, by age 9, the default emotion for most boys,” according to Parenting expert Janet Allison! Add that to on-going research that continues to find mind-body connections between childhood stress and trauma and inflammatory responses, including those associated with autoimmune conditions, and parents and teachers need new strategies to help kids cope.

What if we could alleviate childhood stress and trauma before those damaging inflammatory responses? In this episode, we welcome Janet Allison, author, educator, speaker, and Family Coach. She has been advocating for boys for over 20 years! Combining her expertise in education, communication skills, and the social and biological differences between males and females, she helps parents and teachers understand their boys so that they can thrive at home and school. On this episode, Janet shares the answers to:

~ How boys process emotions differently than girls?
~ How subtle trauma adds up including subtle messages we send like ‘boys don’t cry,’ and why can’t you sit still?
~ How can we help our boys understand emotions in themselves and others?
~ How to use metaphor, imagery and physical activity to create emotional intelligence in our kids plus so much more…

The Power of Eight with Lynne McTaggart

Award-winning journalist and international bestselling author Lynne McTaggart has spent many years exploring the nature of human thought and intention and their relationship to health and wellness. In her bestselling book The Intention Experiment, she invited people all over the globe to join her in an experiment to see if harnessing the power of intention could affect change in the world. The scientific study of ongoing results revealed that of the 31 experiments run to date, 28 have evidenced measurable change. Specifically, all three of the global peace intention experiments she ran had positive outcomes in lowering violence in Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Washington DC.

But that wasn’t all she learned from those experiments, as her latest book The Power of Eight reveals. For with each experiment, no matter how large or small she observed the same group dynamic, a dynamic so powerful and life-transforming that it enabled individual miracles to take place.

In this episode, Lynne McTaggart joins Sandie to discuss:

~ How “the power of eight: ties in to her earlier work studying the human energy field
~ The boomerang effect of group intention and the rebound effect of prayer
~ Healing a divided nation through shared intention
~ Altruism as a healing practice
~ The biggest problem with the self-help industry
~ How to supersize your prayers with “the power of eight”
~ and more…

Lynne McTaggart is the award-winning author of seven books including worldwide bestsellers, “The Field,” “The Intention Experiment,” “The Bond” and the forthcoming “The Power of Eight.” She also serves as Editorial Director of What Doctors Don’t Tell You (www.WDDTY.com), one of the world’s most highly praised health publications.
