We know that June is pride month…out of love… this show is dedicated to my family members who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community. This is another special segment called Changing the Conversation at the Dinner Table. This episode of Changing the Conversation at the Dinner Table is with my niece Porsche and her wife, Candice. In our conversation, you’ll hear me say that while I interact with family members and friends who are LBGTQ+ Americans from a space of love… I remain ignorant about their truth. We're at the my dinner table to have a conversation to push past the fears that blind us… to see the divine essence in each other. Enjoy! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dr-pennie-murray/message

It started with a Twitter post making the assertion that “Black people are genetically stronger, smarter, and more creative than everyone else. The post went on to say, “On December 21, 2020, our Real DNA would be unlocked, and the majority of Black Americans would be able to do things we thought were fiction.” Many responded to the Twitter post with mockery and silly memes. For centuries, we’ve been indoctrinated to believe Africans/Black Americans are inferior to everyone else. But the moment we confront the lie by asserting the divine truth of our excellence, we face either white indignation or mockery from the black community. In this episode, I explore the cosmic effects of the great conjunction of 2020 and the commotion on social media about this cosmic anomaly releasing superpowers in the black community. I’ll unpack the poster’s assertions and give you my thoughts... then you can decide for yourself whether there is value in the statement or not. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dr-pennie-murray/message

Andrew Harvey has said that “The crisis we are facing is a crisis in which the sacred powers of love in the human soul are being diverted by distractions, greed, ignorance, and the pursuit of power. In this chaos, the evolutionary energy of love is blocked from irrigating the hearts of humans… and preventing us from transforming the world as we should.” We all want to love and be loved… but do we acknowledge and honor that WE ARE LOVE incarnate. Do we comprehend that we are the physical extension of LOVE’s non-physical Divine Spirit? This episode is dedicated to the Evolutionary Energy of Love… especially Black Love, which has braved the historical atrocities of overt and covert racism... as well as our own self-sabotaging actions. It is also dedicated to African American Women whose unrelenting, irreplaceable energy… throughout history… has never faltered in being a cornerstone for the African American family, our community, as well as the world around them. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dr-pennie-murray/message

It took me a minute to get to part 2 of Freedom's Song, but I finally got there.  This is the second part of the conversation on severing the cords of our obsession with trickle-down white equality – gaining freedom and equality through White approval and acceptance. I continue to make the case that addressing the psychological injustices inflicted on the African American psyche and our inner freedom is just as significant to our overall well-being as our external fight for freedom.  In this episode, I continue to discuss my proposition to engage in a psychological rite of passage that starts on an individual level. It sets the stage for subsequent episodes of Raw Talk on coming out of the closet about our fear of success, and why we’re so hell-bent on resisting our highest good. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dr-pennie-murray/message

Before we entered our mothers’ wombs, we were spirit energy. As spirit energy, we made a spiritual agreement to fulfill a task by coming in physical form. Supreme Spirit set us apart and appointed us as a prophet to the nations. Now, the Universe is waiting for us to take our place among the world’s prophets to fulfill our agreement. To do that, we have to name our spiritual agreement and then set our intentions—not resolutions to achieve that agreement. Resolutions are about making a firm decision to do something to meet a particular goal. But resolutions alone will not be enough to get us through the new reality 2021 is presenting to us. 2021 is ushering in a New Era... we have to start setting intentions – instead of resolutions.  In this episode, Dr. Murray shares how to discover the name of our spiritual agreement so we can set purposeful intentions that lead to achieving our manifest destiny.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dr-pennie-murray/message

This Christmas message reminds us that despite this time of forced distance… and a kind of separation that seems so different—love... life's only valid expression—binds us together on the highest and deepest level.

I’m not counting this as a regular episode; I just needed to be on my soapbox for a minute cause I had some shit on my heart and mind and needed to talk out loud to make space for truth to speak to my frustrations. I'm pointing out how the year 2020 continues to expose what is at the soul of America. I am petitioning that our obsessive need for a “savior” outside ourselves to come and save the day has never worked for us. I'm urging those of us whose fear and self-doubt have kept them in the background of life to come out of the shadows, roll up our sleeves, and put some skin in the game. All around us…The Universe is signaling to us the urgency of remembering that nothing can happen for us as individuals or a country without our own consent. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dr-pennie-murray/message

2020 symbolizes clear vision and relationships. This year, 2020, provided a clear vision about the soul of America… its vulnerabilities, its crimes, its injustices, and its brokenness. It has also revealed how fragile social advancement and freedom for African Americans are when controlled by a social system that refuses to value our lives. This 2-part episode starts a conversation on severing the cords of our obsession with gaining freedom and equality through White approval and acceptance. It argues for a movement addressing the psychological injustices inflicted on the African American psyche. It declares that healing justice is just as significant to our overall well-being as our external fight for freedom. It further proposes a sacred civil rights movement or rite of passage that focuses on us, to heal us, and to build for us. But it all starts with acknowledging the uncomfortable truth regarding decades of both our fears of being powerful and our resentment of feeling powerless as African Americans in this country. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dr-pennie-murray/message
