Caverly Morgan: The Heart of Who We Are

Caverly Morgan — January 3, 2023

When Caverly Morgan reentered society after eight years as a Zen monk, she was confronted with a question many of us are asking these days: Considering the enormity of the problems before us, how can one individual’s spiritual practice make a tangible difference in our world?

In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with Caverly about her new book, The Heart of Who We Are, and the connection between self-realization and collective transformation. Tune in as they explore these topics and more: the difference between the absolute and the relative; introducing teens to inquiry practice; self-improvement vs. self-realization; the core experience of who we are in our depths; the power of community; meeting our deepest needs; “changing costumes within the dance of suffering”; connecting with others “essence to essence”; broadening public access to contemplative practices; escaping the trap of perfectionism; letting go of our conditioning, individually and collectively; egoic behaviors versus “acts of being.”

Paul Selig: A Journey to the Upper Room: An Attunement...

Paul Selig — February 10, 2026

How do we move beyond fear and separation to experience our true divine nature—especially in times of collective upheaval and uncertainty?

This week, Tami Simon welcomes Paul Selig, a channeler, author, and teacher who has brought through 13 extraordinary books from non-physical guides he describes as teaching from “the upper room.” Born an atheist and trained at Yale, Paul experienced a spontaneous kundalini awakening in 1987 that left him clairvoyant and fundamentally changed his understanding of reality. Since then, he has served as what he calls a “spoken stenographer” for teachings on consciousness, awakening, and our capacity to align with the divine.

Join Tami and Paul to explore:

Paul’s dramatic awakening experience and emergence as a channel
What it feels like to receive and transmit channeled wisdom
The “upper room”—a vibrational state beyond fear and separation
How to recognize when we’re acting from fear versus divine knowing
The clearing process that accompanies spiritual awakening
Why this particular time calls for radical transformation of old structures
The powerful attunement: “I am in God, I am of God, I am with God”
How to maintain trust and openness when part of us still holds back
Practical ways to realign with source amidst chaos and uncertainty

If you’re navigating this time of collective change and seeking a deeper connection to your divine nature, this conversation offers both inspiration and practical guidance for claiming the upper room—that aspect of consciousness where we already dwell in union with all that is.

This conversation offers genuine transmission—not just concepts about awakening, but the palpable presence of realized teachers exploring the growing edge of spiritual understanding together. Originally aired on Sounds True One.

The role of love as currency in humanity’s next evolutionary phase
Why we often fear the very love we claim to seek
How to serve love in daily life and contribute to raising Earth’s frequency midpoint

Sister Joan Chittister: Presence and Perpetual Goodnes...

Joan Chittister — January 20, 2026

What does enlightenment look like in Christian tradition? How do we cultivate the kind of presence that transforms ordinary moments into sacred encounters?

This week on Insights at the Edge, Tami Simon shares a rebroadcast of one of her most cherished interviews—a conversation recorded at Mount St. Benedict’s Monastery in Erie, Pennsylvania with Sister Joan Chittister, just before her 83rd birthday. Sister Joan is an American Benedictine nun, theologian, and author of more than 50 books who has spent over 40 years advocating for peace, human rights, women’s issues, and church renewal.

Join Tami and Sister Joan to explore:

The Christian path from contemplation to unity and “seeing the world through God’s eyes”
Sister Joan’s mystical experience of light as a teenager and how it shaped her entire spiritual life
The sacrament of the present moment and what true presence actually requires
Why opening your heart sometimes means closing it to certain things
How spiritual traditions are evolving and what religion offers in an increasingly secular age
The prayer Sister Joan repeats before every talk: accepting “whatsoever deaths thou shall choose to send me”
Why consciousness—not mindfulness techniques—is the foundation of contemplative living

This is a conversation about what a lifetime of monastic practice reveals, the electricity of divine presence, and how struggle itself becomes the crucible for transformation.
