[@kmintonartist]

"Single gifted People will rarely understand multi-gifted people, to them you will always look scattered, just continue to be everything you are." So good

[@SoulBoom]

👏

[@chicksue7030]

I instantly felt tears well up in my eyes on that one lol

[@Kx0195]

Hit me so hard.

[@TheStrykerSeven]

Instant sobs.

[@mavenandsage]

She said succinctly what I not so eloquently tell my clients. I am a multi-passionate maven and so are most of my clients. So good!

[@freembeem]

So glad Rainn is delving into deeper topics! Definitely one of the best podcasts I've seen in a while!

[@SoulBoom]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@thaishelenabueno]

Me too. Loving this conversations!

[@UsBallers3334]

If you haven’t listened to metaphysical milkshake you definitely should!

[@elizabethjoslin111]

Loved this episode so much I'm off to find more interviews with Thema. Thank you for what you are doing, for your guests, and for these conversations. They're meaningful. Edit: and of course thank you to the kind and thoughtful host. I thought it went without saying, but then i got in my head about the fact i didnt say it...so....

[@Helen-jy6br]

Her interview with Mel Robbin’s was great too!

[@cherylbenton7107]

8 minutes into watching this video and already I'm in love with this woman's spirit, her mom's spirit and Mr. Wilson's spirit, which, I must confess, I was already in love with since his Soul Pancake days! Much gratitude! ❤❤❤

[@MyIceShine]

I cant be more inspired by the calm way of speaking of Thema♥and all the smart and centered beautiful things that she said, this is being VERY helpful! THANKS. When I think about how the world is today, I always kept myself thinking, how will we treat Jesus if he were here today? so I realize we still have as humanity, so much to improve, so much to work it out, I love what she tells about the practice using drawns and instruments as a therapeutic way to speak without words, and I resonated with the idea of ​​the use of a drump cause sometimes Im so scared of being heard playing my own rhythm, and she is so right!!! social media can be a place where you find aggression and judgment or also a person who is the other side of the planet that inspires you, makes you feel less alone, maybe a community created by beautiful souls, (and by the way Rainn gifted us the meaning of "Into me see" ( Intimacy) and I think of DEEP PRESURE ( depression : high pressure to be worthy, happy, accepted, important, etc) THE BOOK of Thema seems to be brilliant, I will try to buy it, cause I LOVE NOTHING more than being or searching for authenticity in this journey through EARTH and the fact that you both made me think that art and teach can help people in the same way makes me remember that sometimes I forgot the impact that I can be doing on my students cause we center so much in the physical aspect of the sport but I know there is also a therapeutic big message when any person of any age tries a pair of skates and master balance, and rhythm and grace and expression, falls and stands up, facing frustration and keeps going and improving so I remembered that I also help to heal and to improve people's live; even more when in our group people encourage others to try something new, to keep ahead or congratulate other students because of the progress made. I guess this is ONE OF GOD'S FAVORITE PODCATS

[@BeautifullyResilient23]

Dr. Thema, thank you for your informative words and conversation with Rainn. Many of which I had agreed with prior, but some in which I feel like I gained such beneficial information that the world needs.

[@NiinaSKlove]

Thank you, Rain and Dr. Thema Bryant, for this beautiful conversation. ❤❤

[@michaelvalentine1835]

Safety, Justice.. and Love.

[@thaishelenabueno]

Wow such a rich conversation!! So interesting on how she approaches the shy, introspective kids giving the drums for them to play . This in my head, made so much sense. I was like 🤯🤯🤯🤯 I wish some doctor would gave me the drums. But it's not late yet, I can still play guitar. I love this convo. So nice to know Thema she is a poet as well. ❤

[@SoulBoom]

We agree!

[@MyIceShine]

GO for the drums, you can girl

[@NaserEmtesali]

Thank you Dr. Thema Bryant for this beautiful podcast. I would like to highlight some of the cult-like tendencies in the Baha'i Faith that are not found in other major religions: 1. Each Baha'i has a 'membership card' with a membership number. 2. Strict censorship and approval process for new books. 3. Punishments against individuals for perceived infractions include deprivation of voting rights and potential ostracism and shunning. 4. Ban on Baha'i Studies courses to prevent hierarchy formation perceived as a threat to the administrative structure. 5. Suppression of Baha'i academics who don't follow the party line and agenda. 6. Misuse of the notion of "unity" to silence and penalise divergent views. 7. Discouragement from reporting misconduct of individual members in the interests of "unity" and public image. 8. Selective translation of literature to control information and maintain a marketable narrative despite internal contradictions. 9. Revisionist edits in new editions of books (e.g. removal of failed prophecies and intolerant language). 10. Frequent fundraising for projects to enhance global image.

[@waynedrury9515]

What a beautiful soul Dr Thema Bryant is,another great podcast Rainn thank you ❤❤❤

[@jaemwangi6532]

What a beautiful, eye-opening and uniting conversation rooted in empathy, compassion and truth! I've absolutely enjoyed listening and ingesting the wisdom that has been so well articulated by Dr Thema and yourself, Rainn . The questions were thought provoking and this discussion will definitely be an excellent reference point for anyone navigating their healing journey. It couldn't have been more perfectly timed; thank you and keep spreading this very needed message of healing the collective.

[@jettahat]

Hi, I love the podcast! I read the book last year, and have loved seeing this natural evolution of the work spoken about in Soul Boom. I would love to see more women of color on the podcast! Specifically more black women and more native women. I think their perspectives and stories are some of the most important for us to see and hear in looking to the future and creating a spiritual revolution.

[@kaleamckay383]

I love this podcast Rainn!!!

[@PianoForte705]

Fascinating topics. The music expression is something that resonates with me. I play the piano and I can concur that it is another language. It allows you to express yourself in such a higher, spiritual way. It's absolutely a gift of God. It can heal.

[@kenyonrdudley]

This conversation is absolutely amazing! I can so relate to many of these conversation points, and especially Dr. Thema's multigiftedness. I too am having to navigate the worlds of ministry, creativity, mental health, and even business and investment. I have always had to endure the look of confusion on people's faces when they see, hear, or experience all of my gift expressions. Thank you for every point made in this conversation. I hope to have Dr. Thema at one of our retreats one day soon. I hope the same regarding inviting Rainn. #Polyglot #Multipotentiality

[@lukeslott]

This was so beautiful and authentic. Thank you Rainn and Thema ❤️

[@stephenie44]

I think it’s all random, but I still think life has meaning. I think she’s right when she says that’s much harder to understand if you’ve lost your faith, compared to never having had it. I was raised catholic, but I never found the community particularly welcoming and went along with things, but they weren’t very meaningful to me personally. If Catholics practiced what they preached, I probably wouldn’t have taken issue with things, but the arrogance and hypocrisy was not ignorable.

[@arkturomeda8617]

My favourite episode so far, wonderful person

[@MsWing-ij9nb]

Love this episode with Dr. Thema Bryant, Rainn! Great conversation and appreciated Dr. Bryant's approach to integrating art, justice, curiosity, empathy, inner work for collective liberation. I also am grateful she touched on forgiveness vs reconciliation from a Christian context- had no idea about that part about Jesus post-cruxifiction/resurrection! Must've missed that part during Mass (I'm a lapsed Catholic- so that part never came up, 😂). Also, I recommend Rev. Steven Charleston (Choctaw/Episcopalian) elder and author of "Ladder to the Light" and Dr. Eduardo Duran (Apache/Tewa/Lakota), psychologist and author of "Healing the Soul Wound." I'm sure you've heard of/read works by Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer (Potawatami) of "Braiding Sweetgrass"- they are all teachers who discuss the oneness and interconnected consciousness of all beings, with creator through the land. Anyway, lots of food for thought and soul 😊

[@Helen-jy6br]

So excited about this! She is awesome!!

[@SoulBoom]

🍿

[@SeegYT]

As a worship pastor and minister within the Christian faith that has been floundering in navigating religious trauma for a few years, this episode was an oasis. Thank you Rainn and Dr. Thema for sharing so much wisdom and love.

[@Toricreep]

This podcast is something I didn’t know I needed ❤❤ loved the Bobby Lee episode!!!!! Can’t wait for more

[@athlene110]

I cried at the end. I needed to hear those words about the spiritual revolution. Beautiful!

[@DeborahQualls-hx7op]

❤ her. Beautiful conversation.

[@mariyamfaizi8715]

Was waiting for a new episode! ❤

[@demian8439]

15:40 - Wow. This is some real all-or-nothing thinking, Rainne. I envy you. I wish I could believe that my consciousness continues after death, but I will never believe that. I don't only believe that MY consciousness ends at death, but everyone else's as well. So if this is all we have... this one fragile life... then isn't it my duty to make it the best, not just for myself, but for as many people as possible? Is that really such a dismal outlook? I don't think it is.

[@CarlyGrace94]

Great episode

[@593Andrea]

Beautiful interview, thank you. 🙂

[@Meta4Monky]

If you are able to get out of your comfort zone, what you will see from outside of it, is that your comfort zone was an 'anxiety cage' the whole time.

[@oskargold7072]

I did my time and I´m WELL done 🙂!

[@vanhoudtshoorn]

The best beloved of all things in My sight is Justice; turn not away therefrom if thou desirest Me, and neglect it not that I may confide in thee. By its aid thou shalt see with thine own eyes and not through the eyes of others, and shalt know of thine own knowledge and not through the knowledge of thy neighbor.Baha'i Faith

[@rogerthib9496]

just to through ideas I've searching too ; but if we are done when we pass , our effectiveness before we pass doesn't mean we can not help the future people ,in which we didn't pass away with out just being done in world/ universe

[@jaymoar3561]

I thought you said in April you would have the podcast you did with Bobby Lee up?

[@Nani1804]

Her last answer at 50:52 is church.

[@MsWing-ij9nb]

Follow up, part two comment 😅- I would be curious to hear Stephen Colbert and his relationship to God, his faith as a practicing Catholic especially as a high profile celebrity navigating show biz. If I'm correct, he is a lifelong Catholic so I wonder about any challenges or questions he ever had in remaining spiritual...just my thoughts aloud 😊

[@UsBallers3334]

Does anyone know the author of the poem she quotes? The letter to god poem.

[@Moment_K]

Yo when’s that Bobby lee ep dropping?

[@VGV0]

She brings up a lot of good points but she lumps everyone into the same boat for a lot of stuff.

[@httr94]

There's no way to have reparations for slavery. I didn't do anything, stop this "we" stuff. Every community in America is suffering right now and needs help. Race relations were improving with each decade before politicians in the last 15 years really started pushing social justice stuff hard. Black Wall Street was over 100 years ago. The world isn't remotely the same as it was. The AA community needs to have strong leaders who refuse the victim mentality and are willing to hold the worst behavior accountable.

[@kelseyhall8281]

I think you're missing the point.. I personal read this, as you the writer, denying thy critical point that was mentioned earlier in forgiveness and healing. Understanding the point is not to fix or repair the history of slavery, and so on, as mentioned. The point here, in my own words and takeaway, is to understand that the reality among many folks, still in this country, both women / people of color, are still violently dismissed and harmed and the root of denying that experience, not truly listening to those experiences is to deny and creates the very comment you have brought here. In the medical field, in housing, on the street every day, and the overall biases folks have of people that makes them fearful of people of color, especially men, over stigma and discrimination - still rooted in racism staunchly to this day.

[@mindythomas5265]

Germany pays reparations to the families of Holocaust victims…and the Holocaust began almost 100 years ago. Time is relative in relation to trauma

[@httr94]

Why do you think people are fearful of black men? Is it all a misunderstanding or is it something that has some reality behind it. We're meant to fear danger and anyone who lives in reality and isn't afraid to be honest knows who the most dangerous humans are in the country per capita. I'm not racist. I love all people, I'm just tired of the victim mindset and the trying to blame me for the color of my skin for stuff I didn't do.

[@ambylam]

for someone who claims to be tired of the victim mindset, you are very good at acting like a victim.

[@kelseyhall8281]

& if your conclusive mindset is that groups of people are particularly dangerous or more dangerous by what you see at face value or perhaps have even experienced in a narrow field, then I also encourage you to listen to more of this, more like this, read more of this and seek that conclusion and break it down into what is meaningful, and recognize those internal biases that exist for that takeaway that exists in you.

[@coolbreeze5683]

This is a laughable comment. I'm sure some black Americans are also tired of being blamed for stuff they didn't do (falsely accused, false imprisonment, etc.) Trauma is passed down from generation to generation and can last for centuries. It doesn't just end once the enslaved has passed away. Historically, the creation of "fear" of black folks in the US was from a system built around dehumanzation and othering them. You can't enslave people, treat them as property and profit off of them if you see them as human. I don't generally fear black people and I don't know anyone who does so maybe that's a "you" problem. I grew up in a neighborhood with neo-nazis so, by your logic, I have every right to believe white men are trouble makers, think they own everything and are entitled, just from my experiences. I don't think so though because everyone is an individual and not a monolith.
