• From Trespass to Transformation: Listening to Inner Guidance
    Mar 4 2026

    In this profound and timely conversation, Rev. Liz Harlow and Daryn Wells explore the deeper metaphysical meaning of Leviticus 5:19, “He is certainly guilty before Yahweh,” and what it means to trespass without even knowing we have done so.

    Beginning with the law of the trespass offering in Leviticus, Rev. Liz reflects on the mystery of unconscious error: the sin we commit not through defiance, but through unawareness. Guided to Mysteries of John by Charles Fillmore, she uncovers a powerful insight, the sin of omission. Not the wrongdoing we actively choose, but the good we fail to embody. The divine potential we neglect. The inner guidance we override.

    Together, Liz and Daryn unpack:

    • The metaphysical meaning of sin as “missing the mark”

    • The danger of drifting unconsciously rather than claiming our divine identity

    • “Somersaulting into the impossible” as an act of spiritual faith

    • Dominion over the inner kingdom, even when outer conditions cannot be controlled

    • Sacrificing the animal nature as a symbol of transcending survival patterns

    • Listening to divine guidance without overriding it with personal will

    • The upward pull of grace whispering, “Go forward”

    Rev. Liz shares personal reflections on discernment, spiritual sovereignty, and the courage to step away from dynamics that no longer align with divine order. The conversation explores mammalian survival patterns, ancestral memory, and the evolution of consciousness. The episode also examines the journey from ritual sacrifice to embodying the light of Christ.

    At the heart of this episode is a living paradox. We are called to demonstrate the Christ in every condition, and we are called to listen deeply to inner guidance about where we are meant to be.

    This is a conversation about spiritual maturity, dominion, genetic and energetic evolution, and the power of the Word to activate new realities within us.

    If you have ever felt the quiet nudge to rise higher. If you have sensed the difference between divine guidance and personal will. If you are ready to stop drifting and begin consciously aiming at the mark.

    This episode is an invitation to remember who you are.

    Go forward.

  • Healing Science Lineage: The New Thought Continuum
    Feb 15 2026

    In Healing Science Lineage: The New Thought Continuum, this third episode of The Metaphysical Word, Rev. Liz Harlow and licensed Unity teacher Daryn Wells explore the living lineage of New Thought healing, and our evolving understanding of God, consciousness, and healing science.

    The conversation opens with a reflection on the life and contribution of Reverend Paul Hasselbeck, whose work challenged Unity and the wider New Thought movement to expand its language for God beyond anthropomorphic, gendered, and limiting constructs. Building on the foundations laid by Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, Hasselbeck invited a reframing of God as Principle and encouraged open, spirited dialogue as a catalyst for expanding consciousness.

    From this foundation, the episode weaves together scripture, metaphysics, and healing science. Rev. Liz and Daryn reflect on the healing of the crippled woman in Luke 13, recognizing her healing as a natural and lawful expression of spirit moving in divine order through the human energy field.

    The discussion then traces a rich historical arc through the healing traditions that inform New Thought. First discussed is Franz Mesmer’s exploration of universal energy and magnetism; Phineas Quimby’s insights into the subconscious mind and mental causation. Next, they discuss Wilhelm Reich’s work with living energy (orgone) and characterology, and the later developments of bioenergetics through Alexander Lowen, John and Eva Pierrakos, and Barbara Brennan. Together, these streams reveal an unfolding understanding of how spirit and science are not in conflict, but complementary tools in the same divine toolbox.

    Central to this episode is a call to create balance within language, theology, and the human being itself. Rev. Liz speaks to the necessity of integrating masculine and feminine energies within consciousness as essential to health, wholeness, and the full expression of divine idea. The conversation honors the often-overlooked contributions of women in the New Thought movement while inviting listeners to examine how inherited religious language shapes both personal healing and collective reality.

    Throughout the episode, Rev. Liz Harlow and Daryn Wells return to a core Unity truth that consciousness is the vessel through which divine possibility is expressed. As awareness expands, so does our capacity to heal, to grow, and to participate consciously in the ever-expanding universe.

    This episode is an invitation to question inherited assumptions or embedded theology, to hold science and spirit as allies, to engage in courageous dialogue, and to allow illumination to move in and through your own life with ease, grace, and joy.

  • Ezra 3: Laying the Foundation of the New Temple
    Feb 4 2026

    Ezra 3: Laying the Foundation of the New Temple frames this episode of The Metaphysical Word, as Rev. Liz Harlow and licensed Unity teacher Daryn Wells enter a Christ-centered space of reflection and healing. The conversation opens with grounding in the ever-present Christ light and unfolds into an honest exploration of what it means to release former identities while faithfully embodying one’s current spiritual calling.

    Rev. Liz shares personal experiences of being repeatedly drawn back into stories from her past life as an international model, as others frequently request these tales of glamour and notoriety. These stories others perceive as glamorous, yet they no longer reflect her current life experience, her lived reality or soul trajectory. Rather than revisiting old narratives, she expresses a desire to witness the “good news” of spiritual awakening, healing that appears miraculous, and the active presence of Christ consciousness that shapes her daily life and ministry.

    Rev. Liz expresses being guided to Ezra Chapter 3 as a metaphysical framework for understanding this tension. The rebuilding of the temple becomes a powerful symbol of evolving consciousness: some weep for the former glory of Solomon’s Temple, while others rejoice in the laying of a new foundation. Together, Liz and Daryn explore how spiritual practice, ritual, and discipline prepare the inner ground for transformation, while also acknowledging how ritual can become empty if disconnected from living awareness. The dialogue invites listeners to recognize where they, too, may be honoring old temples while being called to participate in the construction of something new within.

    Daryn adds insight from his own religious formation, reflecting on Catholic and Unity traditions, the role of ritual, and the necessity of moving beyond external forms into embodied spiritual understanding. The conversation emphasizes spiritual compassion for others and for oneself, especially where various stages of consciousness coexist, especially in family, community, and social settings.

    The episode concludes with a moving tribute to the life, teachings, and recent transition of Unity minister and metaphysical teacher Paul Hasselbeck. Rev. Liz reads his final written Word on peace. The conversation honors his embodiment of metaphysical Christianity and his impact on countless lives. Daryn reflects on Paul’s mastery of language, oneness, and resilience, celebrating his ongoing presence in Christ light.

    This episode offers listeners a rich blend of scripture, metaphysical interpretation, lived experience, and prayerful remembrance. This is an invitation to bless the past, remain faithful in the power of spiritual practice, build the future through the eternal now, and consciously participate in the unfolding of the new temple within.

  • Breaking Bread & Divine Substance: Living Spirit Through Unity
    Dec 22 2025


    In the inaugural episode of The Metaphysical Word, Rev. Liz Harlow and licensed Unity teacher Daryn Wells explore the sacred practice of breaking bread as an expression of living prayer. Drawing from Scripture, Lessons in Truth by Emily Cady, and the writings of Charles Fillmore, this conversation reveals shared nourishment as conscious participation in the spiritual alchemy that occurs in the presence of the multidimensional Christ essence.

    Through metaphysical insight, the hosts reflect on how meals shared in spiritual consciousness become amplified experiences of communion with the Divine, where divine substance is consciously received and incorporated into the body temple. As taught in Unity, substance is the underlying spiritual reality that stands beneath all visible form, the living energy out of which life, intelligence, and manifestation emerge. When individuals gather in awareness of the Christ presence, everyday acts such as eating and fellowship become vehicles for spiritual awakening and blessing.

    This episode also explores the transformative role of prayer practice in shaping the human energy field. Prayer, silence, and meditation are presented not only as devotional acts, but as spiritual technologies that condition consciousness and draw divine substance into embodied awareness. When one enters prayer, the energy field becomes centered, grounded, and aligned with the indwelling Divine. In this state, the human energy field is ripe with spiritual substance, capable of sustaining healing and demonstrating prosperity in harmony with divine will.

    Rev. Liz and Daryn discuss how living prayer creates coherence within and between energy fields, allowing Spirit to move more freely through voice, presence, and community. This prayer-conditioned field stands in contrast to uncentered or fragmented states of awareness, revealing why Unity Center of Illumination places such emphasis on daily spiritual practice. Through prayer consciousness, individuals awaken to themselves as divine ideas in expression, radiating centers through which love, abundance, peace, and wisdom naturally flow.

    Listeners are invited to reflect on their own relationship with prayer, nourishment, and communion with the Divine, recognizing themselves as living wellsprings of divine substance continually renewed from Source. This opening episode establishes The Metaphysical Word as a space for sacred dialogue, practical spirituality, and conscious co-creation, a space where everyday life becomes an intentional partnership with the Divine.
