I’m Taylor Marsh and this is ASTRAL SOUL LIGHTNING. Welcome to a special Easter podcast, delivered early to subscribers on this holiday weekend.Here’s the set up… So, what is the psychic mind and what does it have to do with Jesus? Stick around and find out. If you’re a Christian, you likely haven’t heard this story. If you’re spiritual, this story will begin to fill in gaps that were missing, lies that were told, and the broader story of early Christians that was left out. This week’s podcast is spiritual, but it is also revolutionary.It’s Easter weekend for Christians. Lent ended this week for Catholics. Passover began. Ramadan continues. Holy weeks to millions of people around the world. From childhood, I’ve been on a private journey to understand the events around the early Christians, the religion which became the foundation of my life through my mother’s faith. Since childhood, I rejected the Church’s teachings that God was harsh and women were unworthy, that Mary Magdalene was a whore, and that Jesus was joyless and betrayed, and for money Judas turned on Jesus. I’ve been on a secret spiritual quest ever since.Lawmakers in Tennessee belong on a poster entitled “Fake Christians.” The Tennessee legislature expelled two Black legislators, while giving a pass to the White woman legislator who joined them in a gun protest after children and adults were slaughtered by guns.

Church documents reveal with disturbing clarity that the Archdiocese was more concerned with avoiding scandal and negative publicity than it was with protecting children."The 2,000-year-old mythology of Christianity was written by men in ancient times and became the tower from which religious men kept society in check and women in their place. One question haunted me. If people like me can experience the mysterious, how does this impact the story of Christ as written by early Christians trying to amass power for men while institutionalizing women’s inferior status?You may ask, why does it matter?
