Episode 26: Katie Asher - Miracles, Consciousness, and the Power of Love

In Episode 26 of Against the Grain, Gary King welcomes Katie Asher, a mother of five and an inspiring advocate for individuals with disabilities. Katie shares her remarkable journey of resilience, from leaving an abusive relationship to the life-changing moment when her nonverbal son, Houston, spoke for the first time at the age of 17, expressing love in a way that transformed their lives.

This thought-provoking conversation explores themes of belief, interconnectedness, and the nature of consciousness, while delving into breakthroughs in communication for nonverbal individuals, the historical and ethical implications of intelligence testing, and the societal barriers to progress.

Gary and Katie examine the spiritual dimensions of belief, the conflict between materialism and spirituality, and the significance of altruism in building a compassionate society. They also discuss the effects of corporate culture on family dynamics, the crisis facing today’s youth, and the urgent need for educational reform.

Through a blend of personal stories and scientific insights, this episode touches on the power of energy healing, the perception of time, and the role of love as a fundamental truth. With profound reflections on emotional health, language comprehension, and intuition, this episode challenges materialistic worldviews and offers a deeply spiritual perspective on human existence.
