IG22-21. Renier & Kathryn’s Inward Journey

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Ignite your heart and soul with Sara Troy and her guests Renier Jooste & Kathryn Woolf, on air from May 24th

We’ve both taken our journey inward, and what we found is oneness.

We all have a story. The form it takes does not matter. For Renier it was anger. For Kathryn it was not good enough. What matters, is that we remember the truth of who we are.

We practice Self-Love so we can remember to experience this oneness, and in doing so share it with the world.

Love is one.

When we forget, life is hard.

We fight, we force, we project, we fear and we hurt.

We both want our own growth and our own healing more than anything else, and so we teach Self-Love to help us remember.

In our own consistent practice of showing up for ourselves, we remind you of something you already know, but just forgot.

Paqarina was founded by Renier Jooste and Kathryn Woolf. After each studying an obsessive range of spiritual and personal development modalities, they found A Course in Miracles: a pure non-dualistic teaching of Love.

Our Story

If the journey back to our freedom was easy, everybody would have done it. The road seems surely long, and the distractions around us, very real, leaving us searching in all the wrong places; weary and weak.

Deeply entrenched in the patterns and conditionings of our lives, there are many shackles that keep us bound to chains we don’t even realise we drag behind us.

But there is another way and it doesn’t have to be so hard.

Inspired by a powerful message of Love and healing, the two founded the company as a platform dedicated to teaching another way to live, love and do life. Their mission is to simplify the information age, and help people transcend the intellectual understanding to experience the experience for themselves; undoing the blocks to the awareness of the presence of Love within each of us.

After each travelling a deep journey of personal transformation they combined their 40+ years of experience, to shine a light on the blocks to the awareness of the presence of Love within each of us, together with a formula to outsmart the ego, and accelerate the process.

They practice Self-Love as a way to remember an experience of oneness, and in doing so share it with the world.

Today they help powerful women experience peace and joy through Self-Love in 90-days.

IG22-20. A. K. Frailey, OldEarth Melchior Encounter

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Ignite your heart and Soul with Sara Troy and her guest Ann. K. Frailey, on air from May 24th

OldEarth Melchior Encounter, an epic sci-fi saga about humanity’s survival in a hostile alien world.

A.K. Frailey became a widower seven years ago, left to raise her eight children on her own. She knows what it is like to have to navigate through challenges and find a way to survive and thrive. This sense of self-reliance filters into her fantastical books, in particular, her successful science fiction tales. Her newest book, the fifth in a series, OldEarth Melchior Encounter, has received strong reviews since it was released this fall.

In this interview, A.K. will talk about: 

  • How she explores humanity’s search for a creator and the meaning of existence
  • Why she shows the conflict between humanity’s need for God and our desire to be God
  • The price of evil in family and society. What truly defines family?
  • Examines marriage, parenthood, and the purpose of our vocation. Is our role in life something we choose — or are we born into it?
  • What inspires her to write a whole new world, with its very existence on the line
  • How she balanced a writing career while raising eight children on her own
  • Today’s trends in science fiction books

A. K. Frailey, an award-winning author of a historical sci-fi and science fiction series, short story collections, inspirational non-fiction books, a children’s book, and a poetry collection, has had 15 books published in the past decade. Her novels expand from the OldEarth world to the Newearth universe—where deception rules but truth prevails. Her non-fiction work focuses on the intersection of motherhood, widowhood, practicing gratitude, and rediscovering joy. As a teacher with a degree in Elementary Education, she has taught in Milwaukee, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Wood River, and was a teacher trainer in the Philippines for The Peace Corps. She earned a Masters of Fine Arts Degree in Creative Writing for Entertainment from Full Sail University.

Ann has won two course director’s awards in Episodic & Serial Writing & Film Screenwriting and was Valedictorian when she received her Master of Fine Arts Degree in Creative Writing. She made finalist in the Tuscany Press Writing Contest, was a two-time winner for the Catholic Writer Seal of Approval, received an Honorable Mention in the Hollywood Book Festival, and was made runner-up in an Indie publishing contest.
A widower, Ann home-schooled all eight of her children. She manages her rural homestead with her kids and their numerous critters. In her spare time, she serves as an election judge, a literacy tutor, and secretary/treasurer of her small town’s cemetery.
She resides in Fillmore, Illinois.

Ann’s work ranks among the best.” — Movie Director and Producer Cary Solomon

“Blending of historical fiction and science fiction…Frailey creates compelling characters.” — Publishers Weekly BookLife

“Frailey writes in a crisp, lean, and richly detailed style, building a fascinating, absorbing world.” — Blue Ink Review

“In the tradition of some of the greatest stories in the genre, Frailey takes a page from our current world issues and weaves it into an intriguing story of global and personal conflict.” — NB Thrilling Films 2 Inc. 2nd Assistant Director Ben Hrkach

“Epic trials forge epic heroes,” says Frailey. No, she wasn’t talking about herself, but about the themes in her books, where people of ancient times struggle to find meaning in a world dominated by evil choices. While managing their own conflicts, aliens fight for their place in human events.

RICH’S LATEST BOOK

Cybersecurity is not a one size fits all solution; therefore, security must be tailored to the needs of the individual. The purpose of this book is to provide readers with rational business processes by which they can understand what information is important, and why. “The Alchemy of Information Protection” was specifically written for:
1. The non-cybersecurity executive or business owner who wants to gain an understanding of their role in the protection of the company’s information assets.
2. The person in the company who is tasked with creating and maintaining a cost-effective program to protect the company’s information assets.
3. The Chief Information Security Officer who may be reminded of some points where they can improve their programs.

BB22-18 Derek Bullen. WEALTH BUILDS CIVILIZATIONS

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building your business with Sara Troy and her guest Derek Bullen, on air from May 2rd

Are the rich bad for society? The author of this book, a successful Canadian entrepreneur who made his fortune and created 3000 jobs, has written a manifesto celebrating the achievements of people who have earned their wealth. He says that many of the critics are overlooking one crucial thing: we need business people to build companies and generate wealth to keep the economy going. That’s the only way to generate the wealth that pays for government services like health and education.

Hard to Feel Empathy for the Rich? Here’s Why.
The Poor Will Always Be With Us…By Derek Bullen
If you don’t know us, you won’t understand us. Few people have a frame of reference for the tremendous amount of work entrepreneurs and wealth creators do. The long hours, dedication, and need to succeed must be similar in many ways to an athlete working hard to turn their talent into a career. There are multiple misconceptions about the rich. The first thing most people don’t know is that you cannot become rich without paying most of the money you make to everyone else first. Take Amazon as an example. In 2020, the value of Amazon increased by $570 billion on paper. Jeff Bezos owns about 10 percent, so his net worth, from the company he created and founded, increased by $57 billion. At the same time the remainder, $513 billion (just over half a trillion dollars!) was created for everyone who is a shareholder in Amazon. There are individual shareholders but 60.7 percent of Amazon is owned by institutions like banks, pension funds, labor unions, and governments.  Companies and other institutional investors own Amazon. When you get a loan for a car, a pension as a teacher, or home insurance after a fire, there’s a little bit of Amazon wealth making each transaction possible. 

Another myth is that the rich don’t pay their fair share of taxes. The rich actually pay most of the taxes in society. In the USA, about $1.6 trillion is brought in each year through the taxation of the population. The top 1% of earners pay 40% of the $1.6 trillion, more taxes than the first 90 percent! That’s right, 90% of the population of the USA is getting a free ride on their taxes courtesy of the 1%! In fact, in a typical year, 44% of the population pays no federal income tax, however in 2021 57% of American earners did not pay federal income tax. If the 1% were incentivized to leave, the USA would lose funding for 40% of the roads, schools, military, infrastructure, and other government services we all enjoy.

Hard to believe for some, but CEOs are fairly paid for the work they do. In 2020, CEOs in the top 350 firms in the U.S. were paid on average $24.2 million, including all options. In the same year they created billions in wealth for society. Although $24.2M sounds like a hefty payday, it is paltry compared to the $230 million on average earned by top musicians, and $280 million on average earned by top athletes.  Being a CEO is like being the chef and host of a large dinner party. You invest the money in groceries, hire workers to cook and prepare a wonderful meal for everyone. Then, once everyone is fed and paid, consuming most of what you made, you get a plate for yourself. Mainstream media then comes and criticizes you for making and eating a meal while ignoring the thousands you fed first.

French economist Thomas Picketty wrote an epic essay citing the wealth inequality gap as the main cause of poverty. Mainstream media was instantly fascinated by the idea. The accusation sells papers! In the last decade, articles on poverty in the USA have only increased by 26%, despite it being a major issue. In the same timeframe, articles about wealth inequality increased 533%. These articles are misinformed. The rich don’t take money from the poor. Wealthy people generate wealth and opportunities for others. Poverty is a key societal issue in its own right. There will always be those among us who are poor, some can’t work, and others won’t work. Jesus tells us in the Bible that there will always be the poor among us. However, when the rich get richer, fewer of our neighbors are poor. The business of creating wealth lifts over 50 million people a year out of extreme poverty. 

The world only had 15 billionaires in 1980 and the percentage of the global population living below the poverty line was sadly at 45 percent.  Today with nearly 3,000 billionaires globally, global poverty has been reduced to 22 percent and the trend continues downward. More prosperity leads to a longer life too. In the same timeframe poverty dropped in half, average lifespan went up from 61 to 73 years. Child mortality was cut in half too. Whether you are poor or rich or somewhere in between, If you can work, you should work. It provides a sense of purpose and develops financial independence.  A job matters. It is what we talk about first when we meet someone new. We apply our potential to the work in front of us, and in exchange, we get paid. For many of us, our work is a meaningful exchange of energy. We spend the majority of our day working. It’s important to work because wealth is an equal opportunity game. In 1984, fewer than half the people on the Forbes 400 list of richest people were self-made. Most of them had inherited their wealth. Today, two-thirds of the billionaires made their money from scratch in their lifetime. With technology, information, and global connectivity, wealth is a possibility open to anyone who has the talent and wants to work insanely hard for a prolonged period of time.
