Beyond Karma: The Mystery of Divine Grace | TCM #164 (Part 1)
In this two-part podcast series, Bernhard and Laura explore the transformative power of Divine Grace and Divine Guidance. The Grace moves beyond karma, Natural Law, and logic to support the soul’s evolution through sudden shifts, subtle promptings, and life-changing events. Part 1 focuses on the nature of Divine Grace, an unearned and unpredictable power that often intervenes when all seems lost. Drawing on various spiritual teachings, personal stories, and historical examples, we examine how Grace operates from a higher intelligence that transcends human understanding. Part 2 examines the many ways Grace can manifest, from mystical openings to ego-dissolving trials. It also explores Divine Guidance as a quieter, ongoing presence that redirects and refines our path from within. We'll show how to recognize the signs of real Divine guidance and how to prepare yourself internally to receive it.
