Thursday, 15 January, 2026
Join us as we dive deep into the Parable of the Prodigal Son, a story that transcends time and speaks to the heart of human transformation. We’ll examine how the journey home is not just physical, but a spiritual and emotional journey toward healing, redemption, and the profound power of unconditional love.Through a rich discussion, we’ll unpack the psychological and symbolic meanings behind the parable—how the return to the Father represents the process of self-discovery, forgiveness, and growth. Whether you're navigating personal struggles, seeking healing, or looking to deepen your spiritual path, this conversation will offer valuable insights and reflections to guide your own journey of return.✨ Tune in for a thoughtful conversation on how to embrace joy, love, and self-empowerment!References & Inspirations: • Plenitude - Joanna de Angelis | Divaldo Pereira Franco • The Psychology of Gratitude - Joanna de Angelis | Divaldo Pereira Franco • The Hero with a Thousand Faces - Joseph Campbell • Soul-making: The Desert Way of Spirituality - Alan Jones • The Essential Rumi - My Burning Heart - RumiCurrently Available in Portuguese: • Amor, Imbatível Amor - Joanna de Angelis | Divaldo Pereira Franco • Em Busca da Verdade – Joanna de Angelis | Divaldo Pereira FrancoOther references: The Opposite of Love is Power Carl Gustav Jung's idea that the opposite of love is power reflects his deep exploration of the human psyche, particularly in terms of relationships and psychological dynamics. While there isn't a direct quote from Jung stating these exact words in this form, the sentiment can be derived from his writings on the nature of love, the ego, and the unconscious. Jung believed that love is an integrative force that connects individuals, promotes growth, and leads to wholeness. It is an essential part of the human experience that brings together the conscious and unconscious parts of the psyche, creating harmony and a sense of unity with oneself and others. In contrast, power—particularly when it is rooted in the ego—acts as a divisive force. Power, especially when it is motivated by control, dominance, or fear, can create separateness, opposition, and the suppression of the true self. Power, in this sense, becomes an attempt to manipulate or control, often out of insecurity or fear, rather than a force that allows for genuine connection and mutual growth. My Burning Heart, a poem by Rumi My heart is burning with love All can see this flame My heart is pulsing with passion like waves on an ocean my friends have become strangers and I’m surrounded by enemies But I’m free as the wind no longer hurt by those who reproach me I’m at home wherever I am And in the room of lovers I can see with closed eyes the beauty that dances Behind the veils intoxicated with love I too dance the rhythm of this moving world I have lost my senses in my world of loversThis episode is presented by: · Mansão de Caminho - https://mansaodocaminho.com.br · United States Spiritist Federation - https://spiritist.us · International Spiritist Council - https://cei-spiritistcouncil.com · AME Brasil - https://amebrasil.org.br
