- Selflessly Selfish: Balancing Service with Self-Care (00:07:42)
Many of my clients and Awakening Plus members express a sincere desire to help others or to serve the great global awakening. However, some have their hands full just dealing with their own healing and awakening! In this eight-minute episode, learn how focusing on your own healing and awakening is an essential first step if you want to help others most effectively. Even if you've been serving others for years, there may still be times when you need to circle the wagons and focus mostly or entirely on your own internal work. NOTE: New Irregular Release Schedule. I've been doing episodes twice a month, but for the time being I'm shifting to an irregular schedule. I have an unusually high number of new demands on my time, so I can't predict the timing of future episodes. But as long as you stay subscribed, you'll see them when they release.

- Psychedelics’ Scientifically Proven Benefits w/ Sheryl Attig, Ph.D. (00:49:07)
In our previous episode, we explored the scientifically documented benefits of ayahuasca in a deep-dive interview with Sheryl Attig, Ph.D. I recommend taking in that episode before you experience this one. This is Part Two of our discussion. Here, Sheryl expands beyond ayahuasca to include the benefits of LSD, psychedelic mushrooms, and more. As I noted last time, Sheryl is an expert on the benefits and dangers of ayahuasca and other psychedelics. She even serves as an expert witness in psychedelic-related legal matters. I love how Sheryl’s eloquence and keen intellect make all this easy to understand. I also appreciate that her years of personal experience with psychedelics give her an insider’s perspective.

- Ayahuasca’s Scientifically Proven Benefits with Sheryl Attig, Ph.D. (00:42:58)
Ayahuasca, more than anything else, has helped me continuously turbocharge my healing, awakening, and ever-increasing service capacity. But does objective scientific research show similar benefits for others? In this 43-minute episode, I explore this question with Sheryl Attig, Ph.D. She’s an expert on the benefits and dangers of ayahuasca and other psychedelics. She even serves as an expert witness in psychedelic-related legal matters. I love how Sheryl’s eloquence and keen intellect make all this easy to understand. I also appreciate that her years of personal experience with psychedelics give her an insider’s perspective. This is the first of two episodes featuring Sheryl. In this one, we focus on the scientifically documented benefits and dangers of ayahuasca. Next time, we’ll expand our discussion to include LSD and magic mushrooms.

- Does Releasing Spiritual Certainty Make Awakening Easier? (00:11:09)
I may not be “losing my religion,” but – in a surprising side effect of my Law of Attraction work -- I’m now doubting some foundational spiritual beliefs I've held for years. In this 11-minute episode, I start by examining the specific beliefs I'm questioning. I then ponder if holding too tightly to any spiritual concept can create “ego Velcro,” blocking deeper spiritual awakening. I also touch on the possible social costs of diverging from a group's beliefs, and whether holding a specific belief could shift you to a universe where it's true!

- Should Your Ego Be Happily Housebroken? (00:08:59)
Many spiritual paths teach that you have to kill your ego to attain spiritual awakening. But holding this belief is virtually certain to provoke massive resistance from your ego and your numerous subpersonalities. (Which we all have.) In this nine-minute episode, I invite you to consider a faster and easier strategy that’s worked well for me: invite your ego to become happily housebroken!

- More About Dark Entities and Wounded Parts (00:15:20)
How can you tell whether you're being challenged by a dark entity … or if the challenge is coming from one of your own wounded parts? I initially covered this topic In Episode 4 of this podcast, which I recorded way back in October 2022. Then, a year and a half later, one of my Awakening Plus members brought up this subject during one of our “Ask Us Anything” events. Our conversation was so interesting that I based this 15-minute episode on it. (With my member’s permission, of course.) I do say some similar things in both episodes, but there are plenty of fresh insights here. Join us to learn how to distinguish between dark entities and wounded parts … and deal with them effectively! CORRECTION: In this episode, I say that Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) tends not to speak openly about dark entities ("critters"). But I've since been alerted to a recent book by Robert Falconer called The Others Within Us: Internal Family Systems, Porous Mind, and Spirit Possession. This book even has a foreword by Richard Schwartz, the founder of IFS. I'm glad to see that the IFS community is now discussing dark entities more openly!

- The Spiritual Cure for Societal Discord (00:11:20)
How can you help reduce racism, casteism, and other sources of discord in the world? You can start by understanding which of the six levels of consciousness – from self-centered to universal – you're at right now. Then you can do your inner work to keep upgrading your level of awareness, which radiates out and affects everyone else.

- The Day I Foolishly Dared Ayahuasca to Give Me Her Best Shot (00:12:04)
What kind of fool would dare a powerful plant spirit teacher like ayahuasca to give him her best shot? That fool was me, back in June of 2009. This is the story of how Mother Ayahuasca responded to my impudence with a challenging ceremony that taught me some much-needed humility. Yet, in the midst of overwhelming intensity, she was still kind enough to give me some ecstatic experiences and critical insights. A few of these insights concerned my sexuality, and I share those near the end of my tale. I’ll give you a heads up before I start on that topic, so you can listen without concerns about sensitive subject matter until then.

- Divinity Puree (00:12:08)
It's easy enough to say “All is one” and contemplate this idea intellectually. But what happens when you actually merge into “divinity puree”?

I describe how this profound merging has transformed my life in this 12-minute episode, and talk about the paradigm-shattering ayahuasca ceremony that opened me to it.

- Rapid Healing from the Trauma of Child Sex Trafficking and Dissociative Identity Disorder: Interview with Laura V. (01:20:20)
While this interview episode focuses on hope – and how Laura V. is healing from severe trauma more quickly and easily than she had thought possible – it does contain graphic descriptions that may upset some listeners. This episode is definitely not suitable for children, so please don’t listen if you’re under eighteen. Even if you’re an adult, if the thought of a five-year-old girl being pulled into a sex trafficking operation, then experiencing extreme abuse for more than eight years, is too much for you to bear, please stop right here. Laura V, one of my healing clients, gives frank descriptions of her ten years as a victim of incest and sex trafficking. Her father, one of many men who abused her, sold her into sexual slavery when she was a young girl. This 80-minute episode includes details of how she and many other children experienced severe abuse, which some did not survive. She also describes how Dissociative Identity Disorder has helped her cope with these traumatic experiences. Laura discusses her experiences in the context of how she’s healing from these traumas using quick and effective modalities, especially Internal Family Systems Therapy and my Instant Divine Assistance Invocations. Both Laura and I have been amazed at how rapidly she's been healing during the sessions I’ve been facilitating for her. Our intention with this episode is to show you that, no matter how severe the trauma you've experienced, quick and effective healing might be possible. After our interview, I’ll give you a brief overview of child sex trafficking. This will help you put Laura’s experience into a larger context. I’ve included links to Laura’s recommended books and support resources for childhood sexual abuse and Dissociative Identity Disorder below. Laura offers these key takeaways from her interview: 1. No matter how long ago or how recent the abuse, no matter how minor or severe the abuse, healing is possible. 2. Healing doesn’t have to be grueling, exhausting or hard. It can be quick, effortless, and uplifting! 3. With the Instant Divine Assistance Invocations and Internal Family Systems Therapy, you can confront, process and completely heal difficult and even terrifying trauma memories. And you can do it safely and quickly. Experience had taught me that facing the terrors I experienced would put me in crisis. With Benjamin’s skilled help, I faced those terrors and found compassion for my abusers and myself. After I transmuted those painful, burdensome memories, I found peace and joy on the other side. I did not have to recover from these sessions for even a few minutes! 4. There is hope. It is possible to find freedom, joy, and a future that is good. Your Higher Self, or God, is guiding you to that future every step of the way! If you or someone you know is a victim of human trafficking, you can get help at humantraffickinghotline.org/, or by calling 1-888-373-7888. ******************** Laura highly recommends these resources on childhood sexual abuse and Dissociative Identity Disorder: Discussing Dissociation site by Kathy Broady, MSW. Treatment of Dissociative Identity Disorder: Techniques and Strategies for Stabilization, book by Dr. Colin Ross. Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors: Overcoming Internal Self-Alienation, book by Dr. Janina Fisher. An Infinite Mind -- organization dedicated to support survivors with DID. Child Rescue Coalition. RAINN -- for adult survivors who need help recovering from childhood sexual abuse. ******************** Here are Benjamin's sources for the child sex trafficking information he gives after Laura’s interview: https://www.savethechildren.org/us/charity-stories/child-trafficking-myths-vs-facts https://oese.ed.gov/human-trafficking-of-children-in-the-united-states-a-fact-sheet-for-schools/ https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/151/1/e2022060416/190310/Exploitation-Labor-and-Sex-Trafficking-of-Children https://ballardbrief.byu.edu/issue-briefs/sex-trafficking-of-youth-in-the-united-states Also, Laura and I want to share this comment from my YouTube page: IFS course work in Benjamin’s membership is really an amazing tool. Laura and Benjamin just bring the possibilities to a whole new level in this interview. Benjamin is a genius at knowing what to bring to light and Laura is extraordinary as a being of light! These are two experts with big hearts. The interview was not upsetting to me in any way, it was a demonstration of how IFS works and not a scary interview just on child trafficking. The warning at the beginning is appropriate because some individuals may be triggered by any mention of such a horrendous crime. Do be aware that you can stop listening at any point if you do begin listening to the interview and want to stop, of course. -- @jeannieszaboky4204 Benjamin's Usual Resources Check out Benjamin's #1 Amazon bestseller: Instant Divine Assistance: Your Complete Guide to Fast and Easy Spiritual Awakening, Healing, and More.
