A proposito di questo titolo

 Hi, I'm Nancy Showalter. And this podcast is for you if you instinctively know that there is more to life than what you have been taught and you're not afraid to explore beyond conventional belief systems. Remember how everyone thought the world was flat and if you challenged that you were crazy? Or how people said if we were meant to fly God would give us wings? What about, "civilization is only four thousand years old," but science tells us differently? Very few of us are living to our fullest potential. I believe that is because most of us do not access the divinity within--the part that is one with our Creator. And how do we do that? That, and more, is what this podcast is all about.

  • WHY GOD WORKS THROUGH BIOLOGY

    WHY GOD WORKS THROUGH BIOLOGY
    Jan 20 2026
    Hello and welcome to today’s episode, where I want to talk about something that sits right at the intersection of spirituality, science, and our everyday lived experience — something that, once you see it, changes the way you understand your body, your healing, and even your spiritual path.It’s this simple but very deep idea: God works through biology.Most of us were taught, either by religion or by modern spirituality, that the body is something we’re supposed to rise above. That it’s either sinful, broken, or just temporary and therefore not very important. And yet, the more I’ve studied consciousness, healing, and and spiritualoity and the way life actually works, the more I’ve come to see that the body isn’t in the way of the soul at all. The body is how the soul expresses itself here.Think about how you experience life. You don’t experience love in some abstract spiritual cloud — you feel it in your heart, in your chest, in your nervous system. You don’t experience fear as a theory either. You feel it in your stomach, in your muscles, in your breath. Your entire inner world is being translated into physical sensation through biology. That’s not a flaw. It’s a design.Then, from a spiritual perspective, your body isn’t just something you’re riding around in, the way you drive a car and then step out of it. It’s actually the physical expression of your consciousness itself. Yes, you inherit certain traits from your parents, but you also bring into this lifetime the imprint of your own soul — your experiences, your patterns, your lessons, both the light and the unfinished pieces from the past. All of that shows up in your physical form in subtle and not-so-subtle ways. And even though the soul eventually leaves the body at the end of a lifetime, the body is still one of the four vehicles the soul uses here — the physical, along with the mental, emotional, and memory levels — to experience, learn, and evolve in the physical world. Your body isn’t separate from your spiritual journey. It’s woven into it.And this is why healing the body changes so much more than just how you feel physically. Have you ever noticed how, when someone finally starts to feel better — when their pain eases, when their energy returns, or when your inflammation goes down — they don’t just feel better in their body, they become a different person? They’re calmer. They’re more patient. They think more clearly. They feel more hopeful. They’re more open to love, to God, to life itself.Health is so important, and that’s because consciousness rides on biology. A nervous system that is constantly inflamed or exhausted can’t easily hold peace. A brain that is overloaded with stress hormones struggles to access higher awareness. We often try to meditate our way into enlightenment while our cells are still in survival mode. And that’s not how we were designed to work.I want to share something personal here, because this isn’t just theory for me. I’ve always prioritized my own health and the health of my family, not only because it makes practical sense, but because I’ve always understood it spiritually. When your body is struggling — when you’re exhausted, inflamed, in pain, or depleted — it becomes much harder to stay connected to the God within you. It’s not that God isn’t there. It’s that the instrument you’re using to feel and express that connection is under strain. And I’ve seen it over and over again, in my own life and in the lives of others, that when the body is supported, the spiritual connection becomes clearer, stronger, and more stable.And of course there are many physical practices and healing modalities you can do that help clear and cleanse the physical body, with the main one being fasting, but there is also practices such as yoga, tai chi, qigong, and numerous others.Basically, your body is designed to heal. To regenerate. To restore balance. To come back into harmony when it’s given the right support. That intelligence didn’t come from a lab. It came from the same Source that created everything else in nature. Every time a cut closes, a bone heals, or inflammation resolves, you’re watching divine intelligence in action.And what’s fascinating is that science is now catching up to what spiritual law has always said — that the body responds not just to chemicals, but to light, to energy, to information, to signaling. Our cells are not dumb. They’re communicators. They’re listening all the time. And they’re responding to what we give them.That’s why I find it so exciting that there are now gentle, non-invasive technologies emerging that don’t try to force the body to heal, but instead remind it how. Instead of overriding the system, they work with the body’s own regenerative intelligence. And that, to me, feels deeply aligned with how God works — not through force, but through awakening what’s already there.If this ...

  • Responsibility — The Ability to Respond

    Responsibility — The Ability to Respond
    Nov 18 2025
    Hello everyone, and welcome back to Spirituality for the Politically Incorrect. I’m Nancy Showalter, and today we’re unlocking one of the most liberating spiritual principles there is:Responsibility — not as blame, but as the “ability to respond.”This episode is about reclaiming your power, mastering your reactions, and remembering that no one controls your inner world except you.So let’s dive in.1. Responsibility Is Not Blame or Burden— It’s PowerMost people associate responsibility with burden, guilt, duty, or blame.But the deeper spiritual meaning is something entirely different:**Responsibility = Response-Ability, the Ability to Respond vs. ReactThe ability to consciously choose your response.**Reaction comes from fear, conditioning, or old habits.Response comes from awareness and inner mastery.Remember the spiritual adage, “You are never a victim of circumstances unless you choose to be.”Responsibility is not about fault.It’s about freedom — the freedom to choose how you think, feel, and act.No government, parent, partner, boss, or stranger can force you to think or feel anything.They can influence — but only you decide what enters your consciousness.2. Reaction vs. ResponseLet’s look at the difference:Reacting* Automatic* Triggered* Emotional* Fear-based* Disempowering* Rooted in old patterns* Reinforces victimhoodResponding* Aware* Thoughtful* Grounded* In alignment with your Higher Self* Empowering* Creates karma consciously* Builds masteryElizabeth Clare Prophet taught that every moment we choose between the human ego and the Higher Self within.When we react, the outer self leads.When we respond, the I AM Presence leads.3. Wayne Dyer’s Orange Example: “No One Makes You Angry Without Your Consent.”Wayne Dyer loved to tell this story:A woman once said to him,“Dr. Dyer, my husband makes me so angry.”He smiled gently and said:“No one can make you angry unless you allow them inside.What they do is what they do.What you feel is what you choose.”Then he gave his famous orange analogy:If you squeeze an orange, what comes out?Orange juice.Why?Because it’s what’s inside.And when life “squeezes” you — through criticism, stress, or conflict — what comes out of you is what you’ve been storing inside:* Peace* Anger* Patience* Love* Fear* JudgmentThe “squeeze” doesn’t put it there.It simply reveals what’s already inside.This is responsibility in action:You don’t control what others say or do.You do control what you hold within, and how you respond.“No one may enter the chamber of your consciousness unless you open the door.”Responsibility is inner sovereignty.4. No One Can Control Your Inner WorldJesus said:“The kingdom of God is within you.”— Luke 17:21The kingdom is not outer circumstances — it is your inner consciousness.He never taught:* “You will be blessed if Rome behaves.”* “You will have peace when everyone else stops irritating you.”Instead he taught:* “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” — Proverbs 23:7* “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” — Romans 12:2* “Choose you this day whom you will serve.” — Joshua 24:15You cannot be a victim and a creator at the same time.Responsibility is choosing to be the creator.5. Viktor Frankl: The Power Between Stimulus and ResponseViktor Frankl, the great psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor, wrote one of the most profound statements on responsibility ever recorded:“Between stimulus and response there is a space.In that space is our power to choose our response.In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”Frankl lived through horrors beyond imagination — and yet he realized:* they could control his environment* they could control his body* they could control his food, his work, his freedom…but they could not control his inner world.He wrote:“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude.”Circumstances do not dictate your consciousness.Only your choices do.Responsibility is not blaming yourself for the outer conditions —it is claiming the supreme power of choice within those conditions.6. Responsibility and the I AM PresenceThe I AM Presence — is the true responder.When you choose to respond rather than react, you are literally allowing your Higher Self to act through you.Try affirming:“I AM the Presence choosing my responses with wisdom and love.”or“I AM the master of my world. Nothing moves me from my center.”And one of my favorite ones is, whcn facing a difficult situation that you cannot readily see a solution, “Might I AM Presence, you take command of this situation. I shall not be moved!And you stay anchored in your Higher Self and allow God to work it out in the best interest of all concerned.Responsibility isn’t heavy —it’s empowering.It’s the moment you stop giving your power away.7. Practical Tools: Training Yourself to Respond, Not ...
