Vivien in Conversation with Scott Grace– Coping with Global Polarization

 Scott Grace Take Two

 

This month’s interview is a second appearance by Scott Grace. Here is an outline of the interview.

Hello and welcome to The Schapera Show where Viv and Neil explore this big adventure called Life. Our guest today is someone who has been with us before, and is here to share with us some really important insights about coping with the polarization that seems to have become a global dynamic.

It is unusual for me to say anything ahead of an interview, but today I feel called to do so. Many of you probably already know that I grew up in South Africa, during the era of Apartheid. Consequently, the topic of coping with polarization is very significant to me, because I saw the impact on society, as well as the consequences on our individual lives and psychological development. I think you already know that I am not interested in politics, per se, but I am very interested in Social Psychology. I think that Scott’s message is decidedly apolitical, even though there will be a few unavoidable references. This is an international show, and we are speaking about important principles here, using local examples. Thank you for joining us today, let’s welcome Scott Grace, to share his valuable insights.

Hello Scott, thank you for coming on the show!

 

1. Scott you are passionate and I hear you have a new passion. Can you tell us about it?
2. You say this is not a political book, what is it?
3. Who is this book for?
4. I wonder if you can read the foreword for us, that’s a very powerful poem?
5. Can you tell us about the experience on the plane?

Vivien: Wow Scott, this is truly powerful and I have to admit I gained a very similar insight on the night of Hallowe’en, 2024. It was close to the election, and everyone had lawn signs designating their affiliation. Nonetheless, the whole neighborhood was unified on that night, for the children. It was a most heartwarming feeling.

Scott, this book hasn’t come out yet, is that right?

Can you tell me how they can get hold of you and your other writing so they can get additional benefit?

Thank you, Scott Grace! We’re going to take a break now, and when we come back, Scott will be sharing more insights and stories that give us ways to understand and cope.

Commercial Break

Hello and welcome back to The Schapera Show, where Viv and Neil explore this big adventure called Life. Today we are talking to Scott Grace, singer and storyteller, who is sharing his valuable insights that are helpful to each and every human. Scott, following on from what we were saying, I have another question for you:

Topaz: I am Here to Make You Smile

Hello and welcome back to The Schapera Show where Viv and Neil explore this big adventure called Life. This is the part of the show where I, Vivien, talk to and about crystals. Our crystal guest today is Topaz.

Topaz was one of the very first stones I learned about as a young girl, because it is often used as a gem stone in rings. Every time I saw a stone that I admired, I would ask my mother “what’s that?” and it seemed like she would always answer: “Topaz.” That’s probably why I have 2 giant pieces of gem cut Topaz, one in blue and one in a very light peach color. That’s part of the beauty of Topaz – it comes in an assortment of colors.

•     Blue Topaz: This is a popular and common type, with shades ranging from light to dark blue. 
•     Pink Topaz: A relatively rare color, ranging from light to medium pink. 
•     Imperial Topaz: The rarest and most valuable variety, known for its warm hues of peach, pink, and orange. 
•     Yellow Topaz: A common color, including golden and sherry topaz. 
•     Mystic Topaz: A natural colorless topaz that has been coated with a thin layer, creating a rainbow-like effect. 
•     Azotic Topaz: An orange-pink topaz with a rainbow-like color effect, achieved through a thin metallic layer coating. 
•     Colorless Topaz: Also known as white topaz, this is a colorless form that can be used as a substitute for diamonds in some jewelry. 

It is very important to be aware that Topaz is treated in various ways, like irradiation and coating, to achieve these colors. Nonetheless, if a stone is appealing to you, and has a healthy vibration, these treatments can be considered “an enhancement” rather than “a fake.” I will admit that I used to look down on dyed and treated stones, but after a conversation with Howlite, which is a stone that gets dyed to disguise it as another more valuable stone, I changed my mind. This was similar to when I spoke to Aqua Aura. Here’s the thing – of course a stone that has achieved optimal coloration by natural means is both rare and valuable, stones that have been assisted by a man induced imitation carry a very special charge – a synergy between humanity and the mineral kingdom. Of course, sometimes a treatment can go too far, and can “burn” the minerals, and that is definitely not good.

Vivien in Conversation with Cara Bastone – Her Journey as a Romance Author

This month’s guest is bestselling author, Cara Bastone, the first fiction writer to be interviewed on The Schapera Show. Vivien was hugely inspired by Cara’s book Promise Me Sunshine, and here’s how Vivien introduces the topic:

Vivien: Well as most of our listeners already know, for many years, Neil and I went through a very rough patch and during that rough patch I found it extremely hard to focus my mind and read. I realized that I badly needed the comfort of reading and should perhaps choose a new genre, which I did. And that new genre was romance fiction. I developed a whole new appreciation for romance stories but of course, I was a little dissatisfied sometimes with the quality of the plots, the characters and the writing. Then, Cara, I read your book Promise Me Sunshine, and I felt like I had “come home.” I want to congratulate you on a spectacular book that fires on all cylinders. You know, to tell you the truth, it is months later and I am still thinking about the characters that you brought to life in this truly touching story. I wonder whether you will begin by sharing with us just how successful Promise Me Sunshine is proving to be.

In addition to Promise Me Sunshine, Cara talks about her Audible series and several other books she considers her “favorites.”

Emerald: I’m here to Remind People of their Individuality

 

Hello and welcome back to the Schapera Show where Vivian and Neil explored this big adventure called Life.

This is the part of the show where I, Vivien, talk to and about crystals and our crystal guest today is Emerald.

Emerald is one of the big four.

In the animal kingdom we have the big five and I know this well having just been on safari again and the big five are lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos and buffalo.

In the mineral kingdom we have four precious gems, diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds.

Now it’s quite interesting I’ve been looking at what AI says about this, that and the other because you know you’ve got to check up on what AI is coming up with.

So I looked up the you know where the emerald is a precious stone knowing that the answer is yes but I wanted to see what AI says and this is what AI said:

Yes an emerald is considered a precious stone along with diamonds, rubies and sapphires.

Emeralds are one of the four traditional precious gemstones according to gem and jewelry resources.

This classification is based on factors like rarity, durability and beauty.

While other gemstones exist these four have historically been the most sought after and valuable.

Now depending which one of these four I am thinking about I can easily say oh yes that’s my favorite about each and every one of them but perhaps just perhaps emerald is my favorite.

Moldovite: Make Sense of Life from Your Soul’s Perspective

 

Hello and welcome back to The Schapera Show where Viv and Neil explore this big adventure called Life. This is the part of the show where I talk to stones and about stones, and our stone guest today is Moldavite. Moldavite isn’t actually earthly, but a tektite – which means it is extraterrestrial material that formed from meteoritic action. Moldavite is one of those minerals that comes from only one location, and in this instance, that location is the Czech Republic.

I think I would like to share how Moldavite got chosen as today’s guest. We just got back from a long trip and I didn’t know which stone to choose for this show. I walked around the house looking at stones but got no clear inspiration. “I know,” I thought, “I will just open Melody’s book and see who is on the page that the book opens to,” and on that page was Moldavite. Perfect! I use Moldavite in a number of ways just generally and also in Crystal Surgery.

The first way in which I engage the properties of Moldavite is as a protective stone that I wear. Moldavite has an extremely high vibrational frequency that many can detect just by holding the stone. What one may experience, if sensitive to this kind of thing, is a buzzing sensation throughout one’s body. This is the effect of Moldavite raising your vibrational frequency. Interestingly enough, the way that Moldavite is protective is that via its high frequency it sets up a screen in your energy field so that lower vibrational dynamics, like psychic attack, cannot penetrate. This is ideal because we want our energy fields to be permeable to positive dynamics even whilst protecting us from the negative. This screen is in contrast to say Peridot, which sets up a wall, preventing all exchanges of energy. Before jumping to any conclusions about which is better, remember that sometimes we want and need a wall. “Better” depends on the situation and there is no measure other than “appropriateness.”

I have found that faceted Moldavite has a better propensity for setting up this fast-vibrating screen than a raw stone. You can wear Moldavite as earrings, a pendant, a bead necklace and a ring. It is better if the Moldavite is not in a pocket, or hidden under clothes, but visible, in the open and able to refract and reflect the light.

Spirit Report: The Importance and Significance of animals in Shamanism

 

Hi there!

You are listening to the Schapera Show, and I am Neil, bringing you reports of my Shamanic Journeys to the Spirit Realm, and the guidance that the benevolent Spirits give us.

I recently returned from a wonderful Journey to Africa, and this inspired me to talk today, about The Importance and Significance of Animals in Shamanism

Shamanism is probably the oldest Spiritual practice (at least 40,000 years old), and is deeply rooted in animism—the understanding, through experience, that all things, including rocks, plants, and animals, possess a Spiritual essence.

Across all Shamanic cultures and traditions, animals play a vital role in Shamanic practices and understandings, serving as Teachers, protectors, and sources of wisdom. Whether in Native American, Siberian, South American, or African Shamanic traditions, animals are highly revered for their Spiritual significance and their ability to connect humans with the higher Spiritual Realms.

Animism is the understanding that all things—so called “living” and “nonliving”—possess a Spiritual essence or consciousness. This worldview is especially prominent in indigenous Spiritual traditions and plays a central role in Shamanism.

In the context of Shamanism, animism means: Nature is alive and interconnected: Mountains, rivers, trees, animals, and even weather patterns are seen as beings with Spirits rather than inanimate objects.
