Reino Gevers: LivingToBe – Finding Purpose in Uncertain Times

Karma is often misunderstood as fate—something fixed, inevitable, and beyond your control. But what if that’s not true? In this episode, we explore a deeper, more empowering understanding of karma as intentional action and the ripple effects it creates in your life.

Drawing on insights from Buddhist wisdom and Christian mysticism, this conversation reveals how every thought, word, and choice becomes a seed for what unfolds next. It’s not about blame or punishment—it’s about participation, awareness, and transformation.

We also explore the powerful intersection of karma and forgiveness, and how choosing differently—even in small moments—can break old cycles and open entirely new paths forward.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns or wondered how much agency you really have, this episode is an invitation to reclaim your role as a conscious creator of your life.

Ann Tashi Slater is a writer and speaker who invites us to explore how our personal histories and cultural inheritances shape who we are—and who we are still becoming—in a world defined by constant change.

In her deeply moving new book, Traveling in Bardo: The Art of Living in an Impermanent World, Ann weaves together intimate stories of love, marriage, friendship, family, and creative life with the spiritual wisdom of her Tibetan heritage and the profound insights of Buddhist philosophy.

In this conversation, we explore how embracing life’s transience can open us to greater presence, deeper gratitude, and a more awakened way of living.#Impermanence #MeaningfulLiving #SpiritualGrowth #MindfulLiving #AwakenedLife

When catastrophe strikes, humanity returns to an ancient question: Is this God’s judgment?

In this episode, we journey back to the 14th-century Black Death to explore how one of history’s most devastating pandemics shook faith, reshaped belief, and revealed radically different spiritual responses. From the dramatic penitent processions of the flagellants to the quiet courage of clergy who stayed behind to care for the dying, the crisis exposed both the fragility and the depth of human faith.

Drawing parallels with the recent COVID-19 pandemic, we reflect on how suffering challenges belief, deepens compassion, and forces us to confront timeless questions about God, justice, and human responsibility.

The episode also explores the inspiration behind the historical novel Sages, Saints and Sinners, a story of love, doubt, and spiritual struggle set in a world that believed the end had arrived.

What happens to faith when the world begins to collapse—and what remains when certainty disappears?

What did Jesus Christ really mean when he said, “Love your enemies”?

In this episode, we explore why forgiveness is one of the most misunderstood teachings in the Christian tradition. Drawing on the insights of the mystic Meister Eckhart and lessons from history and psychology, we examine how resentment can trap us in cycles of pain, and how forgiveness becomes a powerful act of inner liberation.

This conversation offers a deeper understanding of forgiveness, not as weakness, but as a courageous path toward spiritual freedom.

Kenny Stoddart Jr. seemed to have everything the world defines as success. By 24, he was already a self-made millionaire. Over the next 27 years, he built an impressive career in cybersecurity, closing major deals with some of the world’s largest technology companies.

But behind the success was a quieter struggle.

While rising professionally, Kenny was privately battling alcohol dependence — a fight that ultimately led him to rehab and forced him to confront who he truly was beyond titles and achievements.

Just as he began rebuilding his life and launching his coaching practice, another life-altering challenge arrived: a diagnosis of Stage 2B prostate cancer.

Instead of retreating, Kenny chose transformation.

Out of addiction, recovery, and illness emerged what he calls the IronMind Mentality — a framework for navigating disruption, reclaiming identity, and turning life’s hardest seasons into the foundation for deeper strength.

Today, Kenny works with leaders and executives to build resilience from the inside out — helping them not only succeed in business, but endure life’s unexpected storms with clarity, courage, and purpose.

In this conversation, we explore what it truly means to rebuild a life, rediscover identity, and transform adversity into a catalyst for growth.

Growing up in apartheid South Africa, Reino Gevers witnessed how religion can be distorted to sanctify power, exclusion, and cruelty. In this episode, he reflects on those memories and explores the unsettling parallels he sees today in Christian Nationalism and its social-Darwinist logic.

Drawing on the Christian mystical tradition—from Paul to Meister Eckhart— Reino contrasts faith aligned with dominance and identity against a spirituality rooted in humility, compassion, and the radical dignity of every human being. This is an invitation to resist coercive religion and to practise a faith made visible through loving care, tenderness, and courageous compassion.

What I have learned over the course of my life is this:
When you  push beneath the surface—beneath the pain, the losses, the disappointments, the anger—what you avoiddoesn’t disappear. It amplifies. It shows up as exhaustion, numbness, overworking, or the quiet escape into distractions that keep you away from yourtrue authenticity and vulnerability.

Life happens.
Emotions like anger, grievance, and shame are signals most of us were never taught to listen to. They are uncomfortable. They ask something of us. And so we turn away. I know this terrain intimately.
About twenty years ago, I found myself on the edge of burnout. I had poured myself into work as a way of not feeling—of not having to sit with grief, disappointment, and unresolved loss and pain. From the outside I wasfunctioning. Inside, I was emptying out.

What saved me was not another strategy—but a pause.

I felt a deep call to step into a quiet space of reflection,and that call led me to the Camino de Santiago. Walking day after day, with nothing to distract me from my inner life, I discovered something essential:
The way forward is not around the pain, but through it.

Walking through the darkness.
Stepping into the fire.
Staying present when everything is in denial and rebellion, wanting to turn away.

If you find yourself in an in-between moment—startingthis year longing for deeper purpose, real connection, honesty with yourself, and the support of consistency and accountability—I invite you to join me.

Today I want to speak to a particular moment in life. Amoment that many of us know intimately—but rarely talk about. It’s that space in between.

Where the old story has ended, but the new one hasn’t yetbegun. Where the path ahead is unclear, and the usual answers no longer satisfy. Where something inside us is shifting, quietly, beneath the surface.

If you’re in that space right now—or if you’ve been thereand know its quiet ache—I want to invite you to something special.

It’s called Pilgrimage into New Beginnings.
A six-week online journey I’ll be guiding, starting on March 5th.

A mother leans in, lowers her voice, and confesses—almost inshame—that her son, now in his thirties, is still living at home. He’s unemployed. He spends most of his days in the basement playing PC games. Meanwhile, his sister—same upbringing, same parents—is thriving. She’s independent, fulfilled, and living what appears to be the life of her dreams. This isn’t an isolated story anymore. It’s becoming a pattern.

The old image of masculinity—the stoic provider, theemotional brick wall, the unflinching warrior—no longer fits a world that now values communication, emotional literacy, adaptability, and connection. And when an identity collapses without being replaced, people don’t just feel confused—they feel ashamed, angry, and lost.

Transforming Pain: Cultivating Authentic Gratitude

Let me speak to those of you who might be goingthrough one of life’s tougher chapters right now — maybe it’s grief, uncertainty, or a sense of loss. And then, just when you’re barely holding it together, someone — well-meaning, of course — says, “You should just begrateful.” And you feel that surge inside, that urge to say, “You don’t understand. Please just shut up.” Because it’s not that simple, is it? It gets even harder when you start comparing your life to others — those who seem happier, wealthier, healthier, younger. Their light can feel blinding when you’re sitting in the dark. But here’s the thing: youcan’t silence real emotions like sadness, fear, or despair by slapping gratitude on top like a bandage. That’s not healing — that’s avoidance.

These days, it feels more important than ever
to stand guard at the doorway of your mind.

We’re living in a time where information pours in
from every direction—
so much noise… but very little wisdom. And if we’re not careful, that noise can start shaping our inner world
before we even notice.

However, we also possess the incredible power of choice.
And right now, that power matters more than ever. Wisdom comes from a deeper place— from intuitive knowing shaped through experience. It’s the voice inside that grows louder the more we listen. And who we surround ourselves with matters.
What we feed our minds matters.

Carl Gustav Jung once summized: “It’s not famine, not earthquakes, not microbes, not cancer, but man himself who is man’s greatest danger to man.”

He went on to say that there’s no real protection againstwhat he called “psychic epidemics.”
Those are the kind of epidemics that don’t attack the body — they attack the mind. And lately, it feels like one of those epidemics is spreading faster than ever.
It’s not a virus we can see under a microscope. It’s something far more subtle — and far more dangerous. It’s called collective insanity.
That’s when whole groups of people begin to share the same irrational beliefs, the same emotions, the same behaviors — drifting further and further from reality.

But history also shows us that this kind of collective madness never lasts forever. It always collapses under the weight of truth. Sometimes painfully, tragically — but it collapses.

In Germany, it ended when the war was lost and the truthcould no longer be denied.

The way back — the only way back — is truth-telling.And courage. It takes brave souls and compassionate communities to speak truth, even when it’s unpopular or unsafe. It takes honesty — emotional honesty — to face the grief, guilt, and fear without turning away.

And when that happens collectively, healing begins.

There was a time when the media industry lived by the motto “sex sells.” Not anymore. The new currency is outrage. Social media giants have learned that anger drives engagement — and engagement drives profit. So, the algorithms are tuned to reward the most divisive, shocking, and hate-fueled content. The more we rage, the more they gain.And the result? We see it all around us. Acts of kindness, respect, and compassion are drowned out by cruelty and contempt. Civil disagreement has been replaced by digital warfare.

Speaking the truth matters more than ever before.

There are days when it feels as though the world isunraveling. Truth is questioned. Values are mocked. Evenmeaning itself seems up for debate.

The Danish philosopher Kierkegaard once warned that the sickness of the soul sets in when a higher purpose is abandoned. In that empty space, something else always rushes in. This is often outrage, oversimplified narratives, and the temptation to divide the world into “us” and “them.”

The sociologist James Davison Hunter describes thismoment as the rise of a new, nihilistic culture. He writes that it’s defined not by what it builds, but by what it tears down. A culture driven by fear, demonization, and the will to destroy. He notes that identities are increasingly formed through opposition: I know who I am only because I knowwho my enemy is. And from that comes rage, hatred, and the thirst for revenge. In a strange, distorted way, that rage becomes a source of meaning.

But is that really the only story available to us?

This episode explores gratitude as a real antidote to nihilism and finding purpose by seeing the world in a different way.

The poet Rainer Maria Rilke imagines a silence so deep, so complete, that all the noise—the chatter of neighbors, thehum of our senses, all the distractions we pile on ourselves—falls away. And in that stillness, he says, we might finally glimpse the divine with real clarity.

What strikes me is how often we treat noise as normal, almost comforting. We scroll, we chatter, we keep the background going—TV, music, podcasts, even when we’re not listening—just to fill the space. But maybe what we’re really doing is avoiding the silence itself. Because silence can be uncomfortable. It asks us to listeninward, to hear the voice we’ve been ignoring—the voice of authenticity, of truth, of God.

Great artists have a rare gift. They can piercethrough the veil of the ordinary. And in doing so, they reveal deeper truths that power often tries to obscure and fear tries to silence.

Many of these artists were commissioned to glorify theempire, to paint the king in divine light, or celebrate the majesty of British landscapes and bustling markets. But if you look closely—beneath the polished surfaces—you begin to notice subtle hints. Traces of social tension. Classdivisions. Unease. As if the artist, quietly and courageously, refused to paint over the truth entirely.

I first walked a section of the Camino de Santiago in 2006, and it taught me one big lesson—one I’ve carried with me ever since.

At the time, I was in a tough place—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. By the third day of walking, I got horribly lost after missing a way marker. I ended up hiking much farther than I planned. By the time I stopped, I had blistered feet, a painful injury, and a backpack that was literally falling apart.

I was hurting. I was angry—at myself, at life, at everything. I seriously considered quitting and catching the next flight home.

The tragedy of fixed ideas, beliefs and ideologies is that they leave no room for growth, no space for listening, and no pathway to a deeper consciousness. 

We hear so much about addictions to alcohol or drugs—andrightfully so. But there’s another form of dependency that’s just as dangerous: the obsessive attachment to certain beliefs, especially during times of crisis or rapid social change. 

In these moments, people crave certainty. They cling toideology as a life raft. But that raft often drifts into dangerouswaters—fanaticism, conspiracy thinking, scapegoating, and eventually violence. 

Just think back to the COVID-19 pandemic. We didn’t justbattle a virus—we battled each other. Misinformation, fake news, political division… it all escalated into a breakdown of civil conversation. People weren’t just disagreeing; they were demonizing anyone who didn’t share their view.

There appears to be a growing fascination with the “ElonMusk” style of forceful leadership glorifying a macho bravado over emotional intelligence. But behind the tough talk lies a troubling truth: Such an approach quietly erodes the foundations of any business or institution.

Reino Gevers, has been in the consultancy business for more than 15 years, and seen firsthand what bad leadership can do to a company.

A significant share of workplace-related mental healthissues such as burnout and depression can often be traced back to organizational dysfunction and how supervisors and managers treat their teams.When disengaged or unhappy employees are asked to evaluate their leaders, they frequently highlight a lack of core social and emotional skills. Common complaints include:

• Inability to address or resolveconflicts
• Reluctance to acknowledge orvalidate good work
• Micromanagement and controllingbehavior

Empathy is our greatest evolutionary strength. While SocialDarwinists argue that survival belongs to the strongest and most ruthless, history and science tell a different story. Humanity's ability to connect and uplift one another has ensured our survival as a species.

Every soul incarnates with a unique purpose, and lifeitself is a journey of becoming who you truly are. Yet, from an early age, societal conditioning often obscures the soul's inner calling, leading to discontent and unhappiness.

The Oracle of Delphi, inscribed at the Temple ofApollo imparted the timeless wisdom: "Know Thyself." ThisMaxim reminds us that true purpose and wisdom emerge through deep self-reflection—by peeling away illusions, pretenses, and the false identities imposed by the world, we uncover our authentic essence.

Highlights of this Episode:

- Social Conditioning and External Expectations

- Self-Deception and Ego

- Fear of Change

External events can be all-consuming. Preoccupation with news events that we cannot change can ruin your day. At the same time, we need to be situationally aware of what is happening in the world. Unawareness opens the door to misinformation and manipulation by the false prophets of our time.

In an age where values and truths are blurred by falsenarratives, clarity becomes essential. To understand where you stand, we need to look at history, myth, and legend for a deeper insight into the face of evil.

Since the dawn of time, humanity has grappled with the eternal struggle between good and evil. Inconfronting darkness you discover who you truly are, uncovering both the light and shadow within.

Within every human heart lies the shadow of darkness, butalso the capacity for great good. You are granted the power of choice, and the external world is merely a reflection of the battles waged within.

How to get in touch with Katherine Giovanni.

At its best, religion provides meaning and purpose to life. At its worst, religion has been wielded as a tool for manipulation and abuse.

Research highlights a significant link between spiritual belief and resilience to depression. Those who believe in a higher power are often better equipped to navigate life’s challenges, finding balance and purpose more easily than those disconnected from spiritual practice.

This prompts profound questions: Is religion merely a pathway to spirituality, or is it an end in itself? Are we transitioning into a post-religious era? How can we bridge the divide between organized religion and personal spirituality to cultivate deeper, more authentic connections with the divine?

History is often cyclical. Humanity repeatedly faces cathartic trials to achieve breakthroughs in collective consciousness.

Over the past four years, I have delved deeply into comparing the COVID-19 crisis with another pivotal catastrophe in human history—the Black Death of the 14th century.

Reflecting on the pandemic's impact, it feels almost surreal how profoundly it has reshaped our lives. The lingering effects of collective fear, anxiety, and uncertainty continue to ripple through societies, fueling political extremism and even the collapse of governments in several countries. And this, it seems, is only the beginning This journey of reflection and exploration has culminated in an exciting milestone: my upcoming book, Sages, Saints, and Sinners is set to release on April 8th. The novel delves into the historical echoes, human resilience, and moral questions that crises like these bring to the forefront.

One principle of creation that we learn from Daoist philosophy is that a state of equilibrium and new beginnings is often preceded by a whirlwind of destruction and chaos.

With the universe forming the ultimate equilibrium, surface events often appear chaotic, but are inherently connected to a universal order.

More Information:

For many the New Year might have started with challenges, uncertainties, and fear of the future. At the same time, the public narrative is currently dominated by the confusion, deceptions, and smokescreens of politics.

As you embrace the New Year with fresh intentions and resolutions, it’s crucial to recognize the emotional stressors that deeply impact your physical, mental, and spiritual health.

The medieval Sephardic Jewish philosopher Maimonides emphasized a holistic approach to health, integrating the physical, spiritual, and emotional dimensions of well-being. He notably highlighted chronic anger as one of the most harmful emotions.

Modern science echoes these teachings, revealing a growing body of evidence that underscores the importance of managing emotions and fostering mental health for overall physical well-being.

Connecting with Katie Turner:

The God of the Old Testament is often portrayed as a father figure, demanding absolute obedience to doctrines meant to provide stability, certainty, and structure. Within this framework, dissenting interpretations and questioning of these truths were rarely tolerated and brutally suppressed.

Diversity as a core principle of creation

Unlike fixed belief, experiential spirituality is fluid. Understanding is shaped by direct experience, reflection, and openness to change.

Different religions, like different races, and cultures are like a garden meant to complement and enrich each other.
