The Power of Flow and the Flow of Power

 

Zen Benefiel is the very first man that I’ve interviewed on the podcast, which is exciting of itself, but we’re also going to be hearing about his spiritual experiences that started at a very young age. And about how society reacted to these experiences, as well as how he found his way through those experiences, trying to stay himself while the rest of the world around him was doubting his sanity. 

This is an interesting episode. It connects dots. It joins up all kinds of random subjects, and it’s centrally about the question, how do I stay myself when everybody else around me is questioning if what I’m saying is true?

One World in a New World: Uniting Voices is an inspiring series created by Zen Benefiel, dedicated to amplifying the stories of extraordinary individuals navigating personal growth, resilience, and global transformation.

Each episode invites viewers to reflect on their own purpose and interconnectedness within a rapidly evolving world, offering practical insights and spiritual wisdom that foster unity, collaboration, and meaningful change.

“Zen Benefiel, literally, takes us with him on his journey from drums to conundrums. His mind is facile as he weaves a narrative ranging from deep within the esoteric/ufology subculture to lessons of marriage, family, and business life.
