Episodes

  1. Responsibility (The Fourth Law)

    Live the life God has given you as positively and as responsibly as you possibly can. It doesn’t matter to which family, in which country, or under which political system we were born, it is still our responsibility to live a positive and responsible life.

  2. Truth (The Third Law)

    Seek and accept the truth no matter where you find it. The third of the four laws that comprise the Divine Law directs that no matter where we find the truth, no matter its bearer, no matter its bearer’s agenda, we must accept it!

  3. Respect (The Second Law)

    Regardless of our relationship with someone or what we think of them, the one thing over which we have control is how we treat them.

  4. Love (The First Law)

    The love that is required of us is more than what we feel. It is a direct representation of who we are as human beings.

  5. Look Within

    No one knows more about God than anyone else.

  6. Seeking Unity

    Humankind has many faces. It is our fear of the other that keeps us divided. We will not find a path to cooperation and peace until we recognize we are but one species, regardless of our differences.

  7. Something More Than Me

    Adam presents the Divine Law’s concept of God.

  8. Money

    Most of us ignore that the greatest uniter of all is not the human constructs of race, ethnicity, religion, and culture, but the desire to be financially independent. We shout freedom, equality, and equal rights for all. But money is what we want!

  9. Caretakers

    Adam discusses how our unique abilities make us the earth's caretakers, not its rulers.

  10. Disinformation

    Adam discusses how Disinformation has swayed elections, defeated government policy initiatives, destroyed careers, and challenged the ability of some to determine what to believe.

  11. The Absurdity of Doing Nothing

    As serious as the concerns were for eighteenth-century Americans to make the Second Amendment law, the concerns are just as, if not more serious, for twenty-first-century Americans to repeal it!

  12. Defining America's Identity

    Amid the Coronavirus Pandemic and protests against Racial Injustice, America, once again, has come full circle to stand at the crossroads of defining its identity.

  13. It's Time to Clean the House!

    If we want things to change for the better, it is time to elect people who have the knowledge and ability to lead. To continue to reelect the people who broke the system, to fix the problems they purposely created, is an exercise in stupidity!

  14. The Breaking Point!

    When a government fails some of the people, it inevitably threatens the social stability of all of the people. What happened to George Floyd is only one of the symptoms. Poor leadership is the disease.

  15. Leadership!

    Donald Trump, a man with a long title, the President of the United States of America, has a great responsibility. The leadership of a nation. Which, is unfortunate for the people of the United States because what Donald Trump lacks is the ability to lead!

  16. Back to Normal

    The American people want to get back to normal. But what we all have to face is that getting back to normal is not going to happen. What we are going to get to is a new normal.

  17. Our Finest Hour!

    How did we allow ourselves, as a nation, to become so divided that we can't even come together and agree on how to save ourselves?

  18. Make America Great Again!

    With less than one percent of the country tested, an insignificant sample of contact tracing, and no data that indicates that the virus has peaked and is on the decline, Adam questions the logic of Donald Trump’s push to relax the current guidelines and open the country.

  19. Opening The Country

    Adam Discusses President Trump's desire to reopen the country.

  20. Common Sense

    Adam discusses the religious community's reluctance to follow stay-at-home guidelines.

  21. Responsible Leadership

    Adam outlines what it means to be a responsible leader amid the current uncertainty.

  22. Monsters

    When we allow our fears to overwhelm us, the irrational becomes the monsters others use to control us!

  23. The Age of Misinformation

    If we are to know the truth, to protect ourselves, and prevent disinformation from affecting our decision making, we must research the information we receive, and consider the integrity of its source.

  24. The Truth Regarding God

    Does God exist? Do we have proof of God’s existence? What is the nature of God?

  25. Us vs. Them

    We have allowed our politicians and religious leaders to use our differences to divide us for far too long. We can no longer afford to let them implant the fear of the other into our minds, and then exploit that fear to control us.

  26. Stifled Development

    To resolve the problems of social instability created by the exploitation of our religious differences, we must first recognize the fundamental truth inherent within each of us, that we are all connected by the Divine Essence of God.

  27. Pale Blue Dot

    We are Boarders on a small planet, nourished by a small star, in a small solar system, in a vast universe. Together, we are all we have. All our hopes, all our dreams, our survival, and our salvation—rests in our hands.

  28. Beyond the Gods We Know

    To develop beyond the infancy of our nature and reach our full potential as human beings, we must direct our efforts toward overcoming the fear and divisiveness our beliefs have instilled, and evolve beyond the gods we know.

  29. The Government We Deserve

    No nation, in the history of humankind, has long-survived the erosion of civil discourse and the loss of confidence in the integrity and credibility of its legislative institutions. Ours will not be the exception.

  30. America, on Trial!

    Now is the time to decide. Whether it is nobler to come to the aid of our constitution, or to be silent, and let it die a cruel death on a partisan senate floor!

  31. The Divine Law

    The Divine Law is an inherent aspect of our earliest understanding that God’s Divine Essence guides us to love and help one another. And that our fundamental differences, are natural to our existence, and do not define us, as enemies.

  32. Exploiting Our Differences

    When we allow our leaders to divide us along any lines, whether racial, ethnic, cultural, or religious, we are allowing them to maintain and control us.

  33. God's Divine Essence

    Adam explains the Divine Law's concept of God's Divine Essence.

  34. Quietation

    God is talking to you. Do you recognize His voice? Adam Reviews the book, Quietation, Quietening the Mind: The Return to Yourself. A new book by Derek Crockett, a long-time advisor, and contributor to the Discerning Truth podcast and the Beyond the Rituals community.

  35. Life

    No matter the circumstances of our birth, wealthy, poor, middle class, or somewhere in between, we will come to a point where the condition of our lives will reflect the choices we have made. And it won't be what we believe that will have mattered, but what we have done!

  36. God's Plan

    For centuries, the world’s religions have taught us that God has a plan. And trained us to stand idle, and look outward to God, instead of looking inward to find solutions for ourselves.

  37. The Consequence of Our Choices

    The Divine Law teaches that for every decision and choice, there is a positive or adverse consequence. Although we are ultimately responsible for ourselves, the impact of our choices determines or affects not only the quality of our lives but the lives of others as well.

  38. The Fundamentals of the Divine Law

    The podcast explains that at its core, the foundation of the Divine Law is the understanding that we must seek and accept the truth of the reality in which we live, no matter where I find it. No matter its bearer. No matter its bearer’s agenda.

  39. The Age of Being Unreasonable

    We seem to have entered an age of being unreasonable. A time when our support of a person or an issue is paramount, and the truth and being honest about that person or issue, no longer matters.

  40. Accepting Reality

    Life, as many religions would have us to believe, is not a test to determine where we will spend eternity. It is the reality we live every day, in this here, and this now.

  41. Children

    A nation that does not attend to the health, welfare, and needs of its children, or does not protect them from harm, is a nation whose future existence, is in jeopardy!

  42. A Nation in Crisis!

    America is like a ship with a divided crew and a captain who benefits from their division, aimlessly sailing into an uncertain future. A nation in crisis!

  43. The War on Rights for All

    Until the god of a religion gives us testable and provable evidence of itself and openly reveals itself to us, we should not allow religious beliefs to curtail the rights of other people, and that which, is the best interest of us all.

  44. The gods of Religion

    If the behavior of humankind is the measure of the success of the world’s religions, then their teachings, have not been effective. If the gods that represent them are omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent, these gods have not used their powers to convince us to conduct ourselves in a manner…

  45. The Truth and Reality of God

    God is personal. We cannot convey from one to another the truth, depth, or understanding of our experience of Him. His significance resides within. For those who have experienced His presence, God’s existence is conscientiously undeniable. And proof of His existence is wholly unnecessary.

  46. The Divine Law's Purpose

    We experience together, only one reality. The reality in which we live! It is where we are born, where we live, and where we die. It is all we have; and has become, what we have made of it.

  47. Defining Evil

    The Divine Law holds that Good and Evil are not separate entities, but opposing aspects of a single identity. Duality! Like the two sides of a coin, one does not exist, without the presence of the other.

  48. Fear of God

    Some religions teach that we should fear God. But fear of God is not of God, but of religion itself.
