Our most recent guest, Dr. Nahla Khaddage Bou-Diab, wrote a book for her two sons, which she gratefully now shares with the rest of us. She joined us all the way from her home country of Lebanon to be a guest on our show.
“I’ve had a rich life experience with every possible hardship.”
Despite this list (which
is incomplete) Nahla has discovered ways to unleash her personal power to not
only endure but thrive during all of life’s challenges. Through exercises
provided in her book, we can learn to do the same.
Nahla suggests people should consider how their perspective affects their happiness. You either look at life as a victim of the experience, or as a learner of life.
Nahla was born in Lebanon and immigrated to Canada as a small child. She was horribly mistreated there by her classmates and teachers. This did not stop Nahla. She discovered ways to be happy.
“We are not here to simply live, work, and die. We are here to experience, to learn to love, and to create. Stop and recognize that we are powerful. We have free will. We become victims by surrendering to someone else.”
Dr. Nahla Khaddage Bou-Diab
As a naïve young woman
in the workplace enduring harassment, Nahla ignored her manager’s advances and
never let him control her thoughts.
“Our thoughts are our magical powers. The challenge is implementation. If we master our thoughts, we master our emotions.”
Dr. Nahla Khaddage Bou-Diab
How can we make such a
shift?
“We adopt a lifestyle which enables us to live in a postitive state. Life tries to keep us distracted, fearful, anxious, lost, and doubtful.”
Dr. Nahla Khaddage Bou-Diab
Nahla’s book teaches us to connect, trust, and accept. There is a power which created us, but we become too distracted by day-to-day life to recognize it. Her book provides exercises. She uses a comparison of physical exercise to spiritual exercise.
“A lean body requires a change of lifestyle. You must do the same thing for your spirit. People living a positive lifestyle will never be victims.”
Dr. Nahla Khaddage Bou-Diab
Nahla asks us to
consider some questions:
What makes you happy?
Why do you exist?
What are you surrendering to?
What program are we running in our thoughts?
“Ninety five percent of our behavior is triggered by subconscious thoughts. We are running a program and we can become unaware of our thoughts. You can turn your circumstances around with your thoughts and the amazing power that’s there for us to use.”
Dr. Nahla Khaddage Bou-Diab
Nahla mentioned a way
she ignites her magical powers of controlling her thoughts:
“If I notice myself becoming rude, I’m going to question this and wonder why I’m being rude. The moment I ask, I change the programming. Everything is distracting us from our powers. The moment we are brave enough to calm down we will feel miracles happening.”
Dr. Nahla Khaddage Bou-Diab
We are not designed to
live as individuals.
“You need to be well connected and strong spiritually before you can connect to others. Having no community is a dangerous place to be.”
Dr. Nahla Khaddage Bou-Diab
Negative energies cannot
sustain themselves too long. Your healing and recovery are faster when you live
a positive lifestyle.
“One key element that gave me strength is the belief of a higher power. I loved God and wanted to be worthy no matter how hard things got.”
Dr. Nahla Khaddage Bou-Diab
Today, Nahla looks back and discovers with every challenging event there was a happy ending. She is grateful for clean air, trees, and healthy food. A routine of meditation, exercise, and a healthy diet leaves Nahla filled with love and energy at the end of every day.
“Dreaming is one of our innate functionalities. Every night I went to sleep dreaming of something beautiful. I dreamed about my future husband when I was a six-year-old. Dreaming is therapeutic while going through suffering.”
Dr. Nahla Khaddage Bou-Diab
Her husband had been dreaming of Nahla as well.
“Enjoyment of life is far stronger than living in fear. It’s much harder to clean up the negativity once you’ve let it in. Keep the door closed and be selective of who you let in your ‘house’. Practice a lifestyle that keeps your thoughts in control.”
Dr. Nahla Khaddage Bou-Diab
We must go through
challenges, but we don’t have to suffer through them.

The great sages for millennia have
taught that the answers to healing, spiritual evolution, elevation of
consciousness, and living a happy and fulfilled life are inside of us.
But where exactly are they and how do you work with them? Jonathan Goldman can answer those
questions for you. In his four decades of working with Energy Medicine,
first as an acupuncturist and then as the developer of Transformational
Energy Healing, he has mapped the multi-layered Human Energy Vehicle
(HEV). Goldman has uniquely described where
and how thought forms, emotions, energetic material, beliefs, and
spiritual qualities live and operate in the multiple energy layers that
are within and around the human body. He is the author of The Gift of the Body: A Multi-Dimensional Guide to Energy, Anatomy, Grounded Spirituality and Living Through the Heart Meet Jonathan Goldman
When Madonna, Roseanne, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Giselle Bundchen, Guy Ritchie and Michael Strahan were at a crossroads in their lives or wanted to delve more deeply into the wisdom of the Jewish mystical cosmology and teachings of the Kabballah, they turned to Eliyahu Jian, our most recent guest on Life Mastery Radio
Born in Israel, Eliyahu had many mentors and teachers. He studied Chinese medicine, Kabballah, and Astrology. He learned to help people manifest from nothing to something.
Eliyahu enjoyed being a student until one of his masters told him it was time to help others. He was travelling and lecturing around the world, touting that he could know everything about someone in 5 minutes.
“Cultivating true happiness enables one’s success to increase. Money does not mean happiness.”
Eliyahu Jian
Known for his keen sense of humor, contagious smile and natural ability to simplify complicated knowledge, Eliyahu uses a multitude of spiritual tools to teach.
Three building blocks to transformation:
Understanding true freedom
Changing desires from petty to freedom
Faith that the Creator will grant you freedom
“Freedom is to DESIRE, THINK, and CONTROL what you want, but not to let your want control you. Feel the fulfillment of your desire as if it’s already been achieved. Anything can act as a trigger for positive change if you only choose for it to do so.”
Eliyahu Jian
At the end of each chapter of his book The Laughing Billionaire, Eliyahu provides a commitment note – you will commit to do something in writing, then you’ll take action.
Eliyahu’s views on Astrology:
“Astrology is affecting us if we’re not affecting it. It’s like a movie being projected onto a screen. We only see a reflection of the real image.”
~ “Your life success, or lack thereof, during this time depends on your emotions. It’s the best time to ask for forgiveness and to give forgiveness. If, however, you’re looking only for justice, it will work against you.”
~ “If we will change, we will affect the planet to change as well.“
~ “Mercury is in retrograde. Mercury is in charge of money and communication. This will be either good or bad, depending on how people use what happens.”
~ “Search for mercy, not justice. Just chill. I promise you will have anything you want if you just chill right now.”
Eliyahu Warns:
“Whatever damage you do until November 2020 will work against you for a very long time. Whatever you create until November 2020 will work for you for a long time.”

“One night I got up with the dog and saw a giant full moon. I heard her talk to me: You’re missing the point. It’s not about whether you stay here, or go there, it’s about who you want to be.”
Rebecca Thompson
Rebecca Thompson
Rebecca Thompson was a highly regarded engineer who became spiritually awakened through one of life’s trials. She had a successful career, husband, and three children. Life was normal and stereotypical until her husband lost his job and turned to alcohol.
Rebecca was keeping the balls in the air trying to hold her husband, kids, and finances in sync. She started doing volunteer work with her daughter and was invited to a dowsing class.
“We were each given metal dowsing rods, and we calibrated them by saying, ‘show me a yes’ and ‘show me a no’. We played for a few minutes and found it worked! I was just blown away. There was something more than me causing the reactions I was getting”
She was intrigued and wanted to know more. Her curiosity led Rebecca to a Reiki class wherein she had a very spiritual experience. Feeling powerless at the time because of her husband’s alcoholic addiction, these experiences ultimately led Rebecca to know she could have a different life.
“I was so focused on what he was doing, trying to control him, and trying to keep him busy so he couldn’t drink, I wasn’t focusing on myself”
Rebecca Thompson
Rebecca learned her higher power through a series of interesting conversations with friends, coaches, and the moon.
Rebecca was trying to decide to stay with, or leave, her husband. Many voices in her head were providing conflicting advice. The conversation with the moon provided Rebecca with the most powerful advice:
You’re missing the point
Slow down
You’re addicted to business
Listen to your heart
Don’t go it alone
After the decision to leave her husband, the moon told Rebecca:
Take stock. You need to be above reproach. Take stock of who you are.
During all these challenges, Rebecca had been talking weekly to her friend, Darlene. They had moved away from each other years before, but they talked every Sunday at 8:30 pm.
“We’d made a pact that we’d speak every week on the phone and see each other twice a year. And we’ve done it without fail for years.”
When I heard James Redfield was scheduled to be on the show, I began to read his first book, The Celestine Prophecy. I’d heard about it years ago and thought it would be like so many other self-help books written by guests we’ve had on the show. Please, don’t get me wrong, I’ve loved every book I’ve read related to our guests. In this instance, however, I was completely surprised to discover The Celestine Prophecy is a novel.
As I read the compelling adventure story about a man seeking for higher knowledge and power, I was made to wonder, “is this a novel, or did this really happen?”
Within a few days of reading, I’d reached the inspirational conclusion, excited to learn there was an Afterword section wherein I was taught how to apply the insights of the book into my life. In other words, a NOVEL taught me SELF-HELP.
The Celestine Prophecy, published in 1994, sat at #1 on the NY Times best seller list for 3 years. It has ended up being the first of many literary successes for James Redfield.
James Redfield
“[The Celestine Prophecy] is about tuning in to spiritual insights; understanding how the world really works from the viewpoint of consciousness and moving the world to a better place.”
James Redfield
Working with troubled teenagers as a therapist at the time of its creation, his work was the laboratory for The Celestine Prophecy. James put the information he’d taught into a living story based on his experiences, and those of others.
“Inspiration energy, heart based, emotion-based energy, can only be achieved in a story with believable characters. We live in a spiritually designed universe. Until you know how to get in alignment with that design, life is materialistic at best.”
James Redfield
The Celestine Prophecy shares a consensus of thought on the key experiences of spirituality, a scientific wave of thought starting with Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who introduced the idea of spirituality into the scientific world.
The book began as a pass-along book. James shared the manuscript with many people, who shared it with others. Within 6 months The Celestine Prophecy was everywhere in the 1990’s.
Why the resurgence now?
“It’s a new time in the world because of three very different generations on the earth.
Baby Boomers are retiring with time on their hands. They’re asking the higher questions: What can I do to leave a legacy? What can I do to be of service?
Millennials (children of boomers) are reaching an impactful point in life. They’re looking at year 40 coming at them; and for answers to the question: Is there more to this life? They have the education, the job, the family, but still feel incomplete.
The Gen X’ers are looking at their future with questions: How can I afford college? Can I be successful? Am I going to be okay?”
Three generation are starting to search for answers. The Celestine Prophecy speaks to this quest. More people are meditating than ever before.
It’s a new time, and people are passing the book along again.
The characters in the book are searching for clues to discover hidden and valuable insights that will raise spiritual consciousness. During the interview, James shared a few of the insights:
Synchronicity. Many people doubt it, but if it’s real, and we actually do receive help from above, then all spiritual consciousness is real. This is where the journey begins
Evolving earth forward through consciousness. It’s our birthright
Karma. There is consensus building about karmic structure. If you’re a giver, and aligned with synchronicity, you’ll surround yourself with givers. If you’re a taker, and misleading other people, you’ll draw more takers into your life.
Mediation. Finding your intuition. Quiet your mind and set a mantra to open your heart and feel love. Love brings stability and peace; and keeps you from getting cynical.
There are 5 more insights found in the story of The Celestine Prophecy. Insight 10 (provided after the story ends) is tuning in to the afterlife. Recognizing the reality of angels and the concept of heaven.
The new edition has an Afterword about how to stay awake after the journey and discovery found in the book.
“Live the insights and get in alignment with how the world really works. Get on the path of service. We are intuitively guided when we have an open heart and mind. We set ourselves up for synchronicity. That brings us to dreaming, and then the dream begins to unfold.”
James Redfield invites us to connect with uplifting energy and live a higher consciousness.

Many of our radio guests have made reference to A Course in Miraclesbook. They lovingly call it “the course.” I have not read this bible of conscious thought, but it’s been on my “must read” list for a while now.
In preparation for today’s show with Pam Grout I read her latest book called, “A Course in Miracles Experiment”. I was hooked quickly. In fact, after spending a few hours last night reading Pam’s book, I woke up at 2:30 this morning (and since I couldn’t sleep) I read more of her book until the alarm went off around 5:30.
I’m the very person these books have been written for. I live in a problem mindset, rather than a possibilities mindset. Pam’s wisdom put me in a good mood, despite the lack of sleep, and I’m living in a sense of “it’s possible” today.
Pam’s book was written to simplify A Course in Miracles, and to help those who found the original a little dry and “long winded”. She began creating it by blogging about each lesson of “the course” which she still completes every year.
“A Course in Miracles was just the thing that really captured my attention to do for longer. I’m one of those dabbers that practice a lot of spiritual searching.”
Pam Grout
Teachings of God when Pam was young lost appeal as she grew older. The strictness of the belief did not ring true for her. She had to let go of those tenets and be open to other possibilities; how this “divine buzz” comes to us.
“A Course in Miracles felt like my path. It’s the one spiritual practice I kept doing year after year.”
Pam Grout
Eventually the teachings started to stick, and Pam is still learning. She will always be a student of A Course in Miracles.
“The course teaches the message of love; the message of a bigger truth; getting rid of all the blocks to love and peace; and discovering who we really are.”
Pam Grout
Pam tells us there is a spiritual presence here for us at all times, and that it’s exciting to understand what life really is for each of us.
Her latest book began in January 2018 when Pam once again started the course. Each day she’d blog about each lesson, and her perspective of the wisdom taught. Those following her blog began to suggest she write a book. After ignoring those requests for a few months, Pam finally decided to do just that. Thus, A Course in Miracles Experiment was created.
“There are those people who love the book (A Course in Miracles), and those who hate the book, thinking it’s boring. My task was to make it a little more fun.”
Pam Grout
Pam declares that, like me, you do not need to have read A Course in Miracles before reading her book, A Course in Miracles Experiment. If you don’t feel called to read the original, Pam simplifies the lessons in her book.
“We want to be who we really are: God’s son or daughter, and we all have assignments – the things we are meant to do. The guidance is available to all of us, and the answers come easily.”
Pam Grout
I highly recommend Pam’s books. I’ve only read this one, but the way she writes is so entertaining, I’m sure any of her creations are worth delving into.
Please look into a charity Pam set up for her late daughter, Taz Grout’s 222 Fund formed because of an inside “joke” of sorts Pam and her daughter shared. Now, Pam is offering gifts and love to people in need.
The Hedgehog is also special to Pam. She and her daughter sent a hedgehog to each other each month. It is through these two symbols (222 and Hedgehogs) which Pam continues to feel close to her daughter since Taz’s untimely death. You can read more about Pam’s experiences in her book.
But in a nutshell, it’s a soul type with characteristics like:
High sensitivity – chemical, environmental, emotional, etc.
Intuitiveness
Compassion
Connected to nature
Creativity
They are bound to the truth, and freedom seeking by nature.
So what has to happen for these Indigos to forge their paths?
It is the Indigo transformation that can transform the world.
