There comes a moment in life when we look around and realize that the unseen is just as present as the tangible. That what we cannot touch, we can still feel. On today’s episode, we welcome Julie Kramer, a seasoned shamanic practitioner who has spent decades walking between worlds, bridging the gap between the seen and the unseen, helping lost spirits find their way home, and guiding the living toward healing. Her journey into shamanism wasn’t inherited or predetermined—it was a calling that arose from the depths of her soul.From a young age, she knew that reality stretched beyond what the eyes perceive. But it wasn’t until she attended a retreat at Hollyhock in British Columbia that her true path revealed itself. There, she encountered the spirit world in a way that felt both entirely foreign and strangely familiar. As she describes it, “It just felt so natural. It felt so at once ordinary and extraordinary. It felt like I was coming home.” And isn’t that the nature of truth? It startles us into recognition, yet it feels like something we’ve always known.Julie Kramer explains shamanism as the ancient art of recognizing the world as alive with spirit. To her, the practice is not about belief—it’s about direct experience.
Through rhythmic drumming, rattling, and song, she shifts into an altered state, one where the spirit world is no longer veiled. She describes this process as tuning a radio to a different frequency, where voices, visions, and insights pour in—not as abstract notions, but as vivid, undeniable realities.The spirit world, she tells us, is not a distant place. It is here, intertwined with our own, overlapping like two sheets of glass. And while many who pass on make their way to where they are meant to go, some remain behind—stuck, lost, or simply unaware that they are no longer among the living. “They don’t know they’re dead,” she says. “They literally don’t know that they’re dead, and they can become attached to us.” These attachments, she explains, can manifest as emotional struggles, persistent fears, even physical ailments. The work of the shaman is to guide these souls home, to release what lingers so that the living and the dead alike can find peace.Yet, this work is not about superstition or mysticism—it is rooted in evidence. “Shamans were the first medical doctors. They were the first therapists. They were the first priests and priestesses. They were the first mediators,” Julie Kramer reminds us. Long before modern medicine, there was the deep wisdom of those who listened to the land, to the spirits, to the rhythms of life itself. And in many ways, we are now returning to what was lost, relearning the language of the soul.As the conversation unfolds, she touches on something profound: healing is not just about the body—it is about the spirit. Many of the ailments that afflict us are not purely physical; they are rooted in spiritual imbalances, in energies we do not yet understand. When we realign with our own spiritual nature, when we listen to the guidance that is always present, healing begins not just within us, but within the world.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
The spirit world is always present. We are never truly alone, and guidance is available to us when we learn how to listen.Healing begins with acknowledging the unseen. Many ailments, emotional and physical, have deeper roots in the spiritual realm. Addressing these imbalances can lead to profound transformation.Spiritual work is evidence-based. Shamanism is not about blind faith but direct experience—through deep connection, we can access wisdom that transcends time and space.In a world that often feels disconnected, where the tangible is valued above all else, Julie Kramer reminds us that there is more to reality than what we see. The spirit world is not a place apart—it is interwoven with our daily lives, waiting for us to acknowledge it, to engage with it, and to embrace the healing it offers. The unseen does not ask for our belief—it only asks that we pay attention.

On today’s episode, we welcome Billy Carson, a researcher, author, and deep thinker on the mysteries of our ancient past and the cosmic nature of our reality. Our conversation is one that peels back the veil of what we think we know, revealing a world far older, far stranger, and infinitely more connected than we ever imagined.What if the Great Pyramid wasn’t simply a tomb, but a power generator? What if the Ark of the Covenant wasn’t just a religious relic, but an advanced energy source? These are the questions that Billy Carson explores with fearless curiosity. He explains that Egypt’s ancient monuments were not built by primitive people dragging stones through the desert, but by an advanced civilization harnessing forgotten technologies. Beneath the bedrock of Giza, he describes aquifer channels once flowing with water, generating electrostatic energy—an ancient power plant hidden in plain sight.But the discussion doesn’t stop with pyramids.
Billy speaks of the mysterious Gobekli Tepe, a 12,000-year-old temple complex buried on purpose by its creators. Why would an advanced society take the time to entomb such a sacred site? He suggests that this was no accident, but a deliberate act of preservation—a message left for us, perhaps, from a time when humanity walked in communion with higher knowledge.And what of Mars? The red planet, pockmarked with scars of what could be an ancient nuclear war, carries anomalies that defy mainstream explanations. Billy reveals that quantum computers may have already accessed parallel dimensions and that even NASA has hinted at discovering microbial life. If life exists elsewhere, even in its smallest form, what does that mean for our place in the grand, unfolding drama of the cosmos?
Our talk ventures into the nature of consciousness itself. Are we merely biological machines, or something more? Billy argues that we exist within a fractal holographic matrix, a cosmic dream where reality shifts according to our frequency. “We can only recreate what already exists,” he says. “We can’t create anything new.” It’s a radical thought—one that suggests that every breakthrough, every great work of art, every flash of inspiration is merely a retrieval, a remembrance, of something that has always been.Then, of course, we address the question of the unknown watchers, the caretakers of our fragile world. Billy speaks of incidents where nuclear weapons have been mysteriously deactivated, as if some unseen intelligence refuses to allow humanity to wipe itself out. It’s as if we are being guided—given just enough room to stumble, to fall, but never to utterly destroy ourselves.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
The world is not what it seems. History, as we’ve been taught, is but a shadow of the truth. Open your mind, and the patterns will reveal themselves.Your consciousness shapes reality. The frequency at which you vibrate determines what you perceive and what you attract. Choose wisely.We are being guided. Whether by unseen hands or the wisdom encoded into the fabric of the universe, humanity is not alone on its journey.The future is unwritten, but the signs are clear: we are in the midst of a great shift. As humanity awakens to lost knowledge and the vastness of our true nature, the question is no longer if we will step into a new golden age—but when. The waves of history will always crash upon the shore, but those who learn to surf them will move with the tide, not against it.

In today's episode, we venture into the mystical realm of dreams with Machiel Klerk, a renowned expert in dream incubation and interpretation. Dreams, as universal experiences, connect us to our subconscious and perhaps even to a greater cosmic intelligence. They offer guidance, reflect our deepest thoughts, and sometimes provide answers to unspoken questions.Machiel Klerk is a master of dream incubation, an ancient practice where one asks a specific question before sleep to receive guidance through dreams. His book, "Dream Guidance," explores this powerful technique, emphasizing that dreams are not just symbolic messages but interactive environments where our beliefs and an external, mysterious force co-create our experiences. According to Klerk, dreams are a world in which we engage, offering us profound insights and guidance.
Dream incubation involves posing a precise, heartfelt question before sleep, inviting the dream world to provide answers. This method can address various aspects of life, from personal growth to practical decision-making. For instance, one might ask, "How can I find inner peace?" or "What is my true calling?" The key lies in asking the right question, reflecting a genuine desire for self-discovery and understanding.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSDreams as a Path to Self-Realization: By engaging with our dreams and interpreting their messages, we uncover hidden aspects of our psyche, gaining insights into our true selves. This aligns with the ancient Greek concept of the daimon, a guiding spirit helping us realize our potential and fulfill our unique purpose in life.The Power of Questions: The quality of questions we ask in both waking life and before sleep significantly impacts the guidance we receive. A well-formulated question can unlock profound insights, steering us toward our true path. This principle applies not only in dream work but also in everyday life, where asking the right questions leads to greater clarity and purpose.Building a Relationship with the Dream World: Treating the dream world and its inhabitants with respect and intention enhances the guidance we receive. Writing down dreams, reflecting on them, and acknowledging the insights they provide deepens our connection to our higher self and the larger consciousness, leading to more frequent and meaningful dream experiences.Klerk emphasizes that our dreams are co-created by our beliefs and an external mysterious force. This understanding transforms our perception of dreams and their potential to guide us. Nightmares, often feared and misunderstood, can be seen as messages from discarded aspects of ourselves needing integration rather than rejection.One profound example Klerk shares involves a client struggling with dating after a long marriage. By asking his dream, "What is my biggest obstacle in dating life?" he received a dream showing him driving through a tunnel, mistaking a beautiful tiger for a threat, and backing out in fear. This metaphor revealed his tendency to retreat from potential intimacy, helping him address his fears and move forward.To consistently receive guidance from dreams, Klerk suggests developing a relationship with your higher self or spirit guides.
This involves regular communication, expressing gratitude for the guidance received, and treating the dream world with respect. Writing down dreams and reflecting on them shows the higher self that you value its messages, encouraging more frequent and clearer guidance.In conclusion, dreams offer a gateway to deeper self-understanding and connection with the larger consciousness. By asking the right questions and building a respectful relationship with our dreams, we tap into a wellspring of wisdom and guidance. This process enriches both our dream life and waking life, leading us toward a more authentic and fulfilling existence.

The world is not as it seems. We drift through reality thinking it is fixed, yet beyond the surface lies a deeper, more fluid existence. Today, we explore this unseen realm with five extraordinary guests who illuminate the mysteries of intuition, spirit, and transformation.
Ella Ringrose challenges the idea that spirituality is separate from everyday life. “Everything in this world is a spiritual experience,” she reminds us, urging us to embrace, not escape, our reality. The old paradigms are crumbling, and she calls on us to embody the new world taking shape.
Jennifer Shaffer walks between worlds, using her psychic gifts to uncover hidden truths. From childhood, she perceived reality differently. “I just saw things floating around,” she shares. Her journey proves that intuition is not a rare gift but an ability we can all develop.
Julie Ryan brings clarity to the nature of spirit communication. “Spirit only communicates on the high vibration channel,” she explains. When we align with love and presence, we tune into divine guidance effortlessly.
Kerry K shares her profound experiences beyond the physical realm. “I went beyond the angelic beings—I went further,” she reveals. She reminds us that our struggles are not punishments but catalysts for awakening. “Discomfort is one of the greatest blessings,” she says.
Marie Manuchehri speaks of the collective evolution of humanity. “People are craving the expansion of their soul,” she observes. The dark night of the soul is a necessary transformation—difficult but essential for awakening.

What if our near-death experience is shaped by what we believe? That was the question that lingered as Lee Papa recounted her journey beyond the veil. A woman of sharp intuition and a restless seeking spirit, she had spent much of her life looking outward for fulfillment, never realizing the answers were already within. And then, as life often does, it forced her to stop searching the hard way—by taking her to the brink of existence itself.Before her near-death experience, Lee Papa was juggling a life full of external responsibilities: a marriage, a child, and an elderly mother all demanding her attention. She was the problem solver, the fixer, the one who held everything together while, ironically, she was falling apart. Illness clung to her, an unrelenting whisper from her body that something had to change.
But transformation rarely comes wrapped in ease—it comes through contrast. And so, one evening, drained and alone, she collapsed, slipping into a space beyond time and form.What she found on the other side was not a celestial courtroom or a grand council. Instead, it was light—brighter than anything imaginable, yet gentle, like an eternal embrace. She was no longer a body but a presence, an awareness floating within something infinitely vast. Two luminous beings approached, not as guardians or judges but as facilitators of a choice. "It is not your time," they told her. But free will is a gift, and she was given the option to stay or return. In that space of pure bliss, the choice seemed obvious: why go back to a world of suffering when one could simply dissolve into love?And yet, there was something more to consider. Her life was reviewed not as a sequence of achievements or mistakes but through relationships. Each soul connection washed over her with waves of deep understanding, illuminating the lessons they had exchanged. When her young son’s essence reached her, something shifted. The beings revealed that he had already lost a mother in past lifetimes. To leave now would be to wound him in a way that would alter his path. To return was to ensure his destiny. But how does one willingly step back into pain after feeling infinite peace?That was the turning point. The beings allowed her to feel what her son would experience if she left—a searing, shattering grief unlike anything she had known.
It was visceral, cutting through her soul like shards of glass. And in that moment, love overpowered detachment. She struck a deal—she would return, but only until he no longer needed her. No prolonged suffering, no drawn-out goodbyes. When it was time, she would choose her exit. And with that, she snapped back into her body, awakening to a world that was suddenly both familiar and foreign.In the days that followed, she saw everything with new eyes. The world shimmered with a residue of the divine, a reminder that the unseen is as real as the tangible. She could feel her guides more clearly, sense the whispers of the universe nudging her toward her new path. But sharing this truth? That was another journey. Some would dismiss her, others would listen but not truly hear. And yet, she knew—this experience was not just for her. It was meant to be shared, to awaken those who were ready.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
There is no true attachment in the afterlife. Love exists, but without the weight of need or fear. We are free to experience, learn, and move forward without clinging.We choose our journeys before we arrive. The struggles, the relationships, the pivotal moments—they are not random. They are orchestrations of growth and soul evolution.Death is not an end but a transition. Those who have passed on are not gone; they are merely in another state of being, watching, guiding, and waiting for us to remember our own divinity.In the end, this life is nothing more than a dream, a flickering experience in the grand eternity of existence. The pain, the joy, the trials—they are all part of the contrast that allows us to see clearly. And when the moment comes for us to cross over, we will find what we always suspected: that love is the only thing that was ever real.

In the realm of human experience, creativity and imagination are our greatest gifts. On today's episode, we welcome Suzanne Spooner, a dedicated practitioner of Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT) who helps individuals explore and understand the depths of their consciousness. Suzanne Spooner guides clients to tap into their inner knowledge and healing abilities through deep relaxation and hypnosis.Suzanne’s journey into this fascinating work began unexpectedly in her kitchen while practicing a spiritual response therapy class. She felt the presence of her deceased father and began using a pendulum to communicate. "I started asking questions, and the answers came through the pendulum, spelling out words and sentences," she recalls.
This experience sparked her curiosity and led her to explore deeper realms of consciousness.Suzanne was drawn to Dolores Cannon’s work, which involved guiding clients to access their subconscious through hypnosis. This process allows individuals to uncover past lives or stories that hold the key to understanding their current life challenges. "The technique Dolores developed helps people access a part of themselves that knows everything, which is incredibly empowering," Suzanne explains.In our conversation, Suzanne emphasizes the power of creativity and imagination in shaping our lives. She believes that humanity has been conditioned to distrust these innate abilities, leading to a reliance on external authority. "If we don't trust our creativity and imagination, we remain in a state of confusion, relying on authority and not making good decisions for ourselves," she says. This insight reveals the importance of reclaiming our inner power and wisdom.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSInner Wisdom: Each of us holds all the answers within. By tapping into our subconscious, we can access profound knowledge and healing capabilities. This process involves trusting our inner voice and intuition.Empowerment Through Imagination: Our imagination is a direct link to the divine and a powerful tool for creating our reality. Embracing this gift can lead to greater self-awareness and personal growth.Healing Through Self-Discovery: Understanding past lives or stories from our subconscious can provide clarity and healing in our current lives. This journey of self-discovery helps us integrate and love all aspects of ourselves.Suzanne's work with QHHT demonstrates the profound impact of exploring our subconscious. Clients often experience significant healing and insights that transform their lives. "People heal themselves; it’s not a miracle, it's normal in this experience," she notes. This process highlights the potential within each of us to overcome challenges and live more fulfilling lives.As we delve deeper into the conversation, Suzanne addresses common misconceptions about past lives and channeling.
She explains that not every past life regression involves being a famous historical figure. Instead, these experiences provide valuable lessons and insights tailored to the individual’s needs. "We are all connected, and each life story, whether famous or not, holds significance for our growth," she emphasizes.Suzanne also discusses the broader implications of her work on humanity's collective consciousness. She believes that we are witnessing a significant shift towards greater awareness and unity. "We're in a unique time where the evolution of consciousness is unfolding rapidly. The more we work on ourselves, the more we help the collective," she says.In conclusion, Suzanne’s message is one of empowerment and hope. She encourages us to trust our inner wisdom, embrace our creativity, and embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. By doing so, we can contribute to a more harmonious and enlightened world.

Life is a dance of mystery and revelation, and some souls walk this Earth with a profound ability to read the rhythm of what is yet to come. On today’s episode, we welcome Colette Baron-Reid, a gifted psychic and intuitive who has spent decades deciphering the whispers of the unseen world. She doesn’t just predict the future—she remembers it.From an early age, Colette Baron-Reid knew she was different. Visions of events she couldn't possibly know haunted her childhood, including chilling dreams of the Holocaust—only for her family to later reveal their deeply rooted connection to those very events.
But as with all mystics, the path was not without its darkness. She sought solace in music, in art, in substances that numbed the overwhelming influx of information from the ether. Yet, when she finally surrendered, stripped of illusion and resistance, the world opened to her in a way that defied logic. “When I really surrendered and gave over to a spiritual life, that’s when it got interesting,” she says.Society loves certainty, but life is not a straight line—it is a spiral, forever unfolding. Colette understands this deeply. She speaks of a world in rapid transformation, a humanity shedding its skin, preparing for something new. We are not simply moving forward; we are evolving. The structures we once clung to are crumbling, making way for something that can no longer be contained within the old paradigm. “We are going through a global shift,” she shares. “This was predicted by so many different cultures.”Yet, to walk this path of transformation, one must embrace uncertainty. The chase—the feverish grasping at control—is an illusion. Colette speaks of the moment she let go of the relentless pursuit of a career in music and how, paradoxically, the universe then placed her on a stage, microphone in hand, but in an entirely different role. She was no longer performing; she was channeling. “There’s a huge difference between chasing and receiving,” she explains. “My own inner technology is greater than I know, and my job is to detach from the conditioned self.”For those who fear the unknown, she offers a gentle but firm reminder: the unknown has always been the true nature of existence.
The problem is not that life is uncertain; the problem is that we resist it. What if we saw change as an invitation rather than a threat? What if, instead of clinging to the safety of the shore, we allowed ourselves to be carried by the current of something greater than ourselves?The gift of intuition, Colette reminds us, is not exclusive to a chosen few. It is a birthright, a forgotten language waiting to be remembered. She describes mediumship not as a spectacle, but as a tuning into the natural frequencies that exist beyond our conditioned perceptions. “I just know things about dead people,” she laughs, unbothered by the strangeness of her reality. But in truth, she is not merely speaking to the departed—she is tapping into the collective consciousness, where all things past, present, and future already exist.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
Surrender is the doorway to true guidance. The more we fight for control, the more we block the natural flow of life. Letting go is not giving up—it is opening up.The unknown is not our enemy—it is our teacher. We are collectively moving through a birth canal, and discomfort is part of the process. Growth cannot happen without transformation.Your intuition is a forgotten skill, not a mystical anomaly. When we quiet the noise of the conditioned self, we begin to hear the subtle but profound whispers of our inner knowing.So, as you move through the days ahead, remember this: we are all standing on the precipice of something entirely new. Do not resist the winds of change. Let them carry you. Let them strip away the old illusions and reveal the truth that has always been waiting for you.

Life often brings us encounters that illuminate the deeper mysteries of our existence and our place in the cosmos. Today, we welcome Addison Ames, a channeler whose journey from a corporate career to becoming a conduit for Metatron, a high-dimensional being, offers profound insights into the nature of reality and our spiritual evolution. Addison Ames's transformation underscores the power of spiritual awakening and the profound truths that can emerge when we open ourselves to higher guidance.Addison's journey began in the corporate world, with a background in international marketing and business consulting. His life took a dramatic turn when he experienced a series of spiritual awakenings that led him to connect with Metatron.
This high-dimensional being, known for his involvement in humanity's spiritual development, began to communicate with Addison, teaching him about channeling and guiding him through a transformative process. "Metatron and my guides dropped in, in this awakening experience and started to talk to me," Addison recalls. This mentorship led to Addison's deep dive into channeling, where he learned to navigate the intense energies and profound teachings that Metatron imparted.Metatron, often associated with sacred geometry and high-level spiritual teachings, works with Addison to bring forward messages that help humanity understand and navigate its spiritual evolution. Describing Metatron, Addison says, "He is a high-dimensional being that really doesn't have form, doesn't have personality, doesn't have gender, but drops down into many different realms." This fluidity allows Metatron to impart wisdom that transcends earthly limitations, offering guidance on how to elevate human consciousness.
One of the core messages Metatron delivers through Addison is the concept of humanity's interconnectedness and the importance of recognizing our multi-dimensional nature. "You are and you are," Metatron states, emphasizing that we are both our individual selves and part of a greater whole. This understanding encourages us to see beyond our physical limitations and embrace our true essence as beings of light and energy. Metatron's teachings often focus on the idea that our reality is a construct of our perceptions and thoughts, which can be transcended through spiritual growth and higher awareness.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSEmbrace Your Multi-Dimensional Nature: Metatron's teachings highlight that we are more than our physical bodies; we are multi-dimensional beings with a profound connection to the cosmos. Recognizing this helps us navigate our spiritual paths with greater awareness and purpose.The Power of Thought and Perception: Our reality is shaped by our thoughts and perceptions. By understanding this, we can transform our experiences and elevate our consciousness, aligning ourselves with higher frequencies of love and light.Be Nice and Embrace Kindness: One of Metatron's simplest yet most profound teachings is the importance of being nice. This fundamental principle, though seemingly simple, has the power to transform our interactions and create a more harmonious world.Addison’s journey and his work with Metatron offer a powerful reminder of the potential within each of us to connect with higher dimensions and transform our reality. Their teachings encourage us to embrace our true nature, recognize our interconnectedness, and live with greater compassion and kindness. By doing so, we can contribute to the ongoing shift in human consciousness and help create a more enlightened and harmonious world.

Imagine, for a moment, that the boundary between life and death is not a brick wall, but a gossamer veil. Thin, permeable, and ever-shifting with the tides of awareness. On today's episode, we welcome Barbara Banner, a medium who did not always see beyond the veil but found herself standing at its threshold, beckoned by forces beyond reason. A self-described adrenaline junkie, she once sought the thrill of crisis response, moving through emergencies with a calm resolve, never suspecting that the unseen world had plans for her. But fate has a way of whispering—sometimes through tragedy, sometimes through synchronicity, and sometimes through a camera lens filled with unexplained orbs.Life, as Barbara Banner learned, is a series of nudges, each one leading us closer to our purpose.
A book by Sylvia Browne ignited her curiosity. A decade of volunteering placed her at the edge of human suffering, and years spent comforting those at their most vulnerable honed her intuition like a blade against stone. It wasn’t until the orbs danced across her audition tape—playful, insistent—that she truly listened. Spirit, it seemed, had been trying to get her attention all along.Becoming a medium was not something she planned, nor something she particularly sought. And yet, it unfolded with the inevitability of a river finding its way to the sea. The voices came first—not in the ears, but in the mind. The images followed. The trance states deepened. One day, she simply knew: she was no longer just hearing spirit. She was feeling them, speaking their words, moving as they moved. “I hear, see, feel, and sometimes even move the way they do,” she explained. “It’s about trust—learning to trust that what you receive is real.”But trust is a fickle thing. It is easy to doubt, easy to believe the mind is playing tricks. Until the evidence becomes undeniable. A mother asks for a message from her son and sees him, in Barbara’s vision, riding a butterfly—only to reveal that the very same image graced the pages of a children’s book she read to his sister.
A skeptical widow dismisses spirit’s mention of a bagel scooper, only to discover a week later that her late husband had designed such a device. The dead, it seems, have a sense of humor—and impeccable timing.Even as a guide between worlds, Barbara does not claim to know all the secrets of the afterlife. But she has seen enough to describe it in glimpses: fields of color beyond human comprehension, hands reaching down to lift the newly departed, a reunion wrapped in the warm embrace of love. Those who leave us are not gone; they are simply elsewhere, watching, guiding, occasionally nudging us in the direction of cottage cheese.The human desire for connection is a paradox. We seek signs, yet we often miss them. We long to communicate with the beyond, yet we smother ourselves in doubt. Barbara sees this all too often: “Your loved ones are always around you. But if you’re desperate—if you’re weighed down with grief—it’s like trying to hear a whisper in the middle of a hurricane.” The answer, she insists, is to raise our vibration. To meet them halfway. To trust.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
Trust the messages. Spirit speaks in symbols, feelings, and synchronicities. If it feels like a sign, it probably is.Grief creates static. The more we hold onto pain, the harder it is to receive clear messages. Healing opens the door to communication.Service is the language of the soul. In life and beyond, our purpose is to help one another. The more we give, the more we align with our highest selves.In the grand, cosmic game of existence, we are all both the seeker and the sought. The ones calling out, and the ones answering the call. And perhaps, when we truly listen, we will realize that we were never alone to begin with.

In today's episode, we embark on an enlightening journey with Geoff Hoppe, a channeler who brings forth the wisdom of Adamus Saint-Germain, offering profound insights into consciousness and spiritual realization. Imagine a world where the simple act of sitting on a park bench can radiate light and transform the planet. This metaphor encapsulates the gentle yet powerful presence Geoff describes—a presence that does not seek to change but to illuminate.Geoff Hoppe's path into channeling began with Tobias, who taught him the art of using his voice not merely for speaking but for projecting energy. He explains, “Even with Zoom or on video recording, it still comes through, and it's very different than when just Geoff is speaking.” This energetic transmission is not just about the words but the vibration they carry, impacting listeners on a profound level. Geoff's ability to connect deeply with audiences and share the wisdom of beings like Adamus sets him apart in the spiritual realm.One of the most profound aspects of our conversation with Geoff was his understanding of enlightenment and realization. He shared, “You don't have to go out and evangelize. You don't have to give great speeches or anything like that. It's actually as simple as sitting on a park bench.” This simplicity is the crux of spiritual awakening—allowing one’s light to shine naturally, without the need for external validation or effort. True spiritual work is internal, an alignment with one’s own divinity.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
Radiating Light Through Presence: The metaphor of sitting on a park bench emphasizes the power of simply being present and letting your inner light shine. This effortless radiance can impact the world profoundly, illustrating that true spiritual work is about alignment and presence, not grand gestures.Embracing Allowance Over Effort: Geoff’s teachings through Adamus highlight the importance of allowing rather than striving. By letting go of the need to perfect ourselves and instead allowing our divinity to manifest, we find true peace and grace.Inner Peace and Happiness: Geoff speaks to the essence of finding inner peace through self-acceptance and realization. “Happiness is almost like the carrot in front of the horse,” he explains. True peace comes from the realization of one’s own existence—“I Am that I Am”—beyond the fleeting pursuit of happiness.Geoff’s exploration into the nature of the universe and our place in it reveals a perspective that challenges conventional understanding. He describes the universe as an illusion, a circular construct where time and space are mere concepts. This illusion, he asserts, is designed for souls to experience and ultimately realize the profound truth of their being. “The kingdom is already within you,” Geoff says, urging us to stop seeking answers outside ourselves and to embrace our inherent divinity.The conversation also delves into the role of technology and artificial intelligence in our future. Geoff shares insights from Adamus about the rapid advancements in AI and its potential to transform human life.
However, he emphasizes the need for balance, highlighting the importance of integrating our light body with technological progress. This integration ensures that as we advance technologically, we remain grounded in our spiritual essence, using technology as a tool rather than letting it define our existence.Geoff’s personal experiences add a rich layer to the discussion. He recounts his own spiritual journey, including a past life in Atlantis where he learned about freedom and self-realization. Trapped in a crystal prison for what felt like millennia, Geoff discovered that the key to liberation lay within. “I got myself in here, I can get myself out. I Am that I Am,” he realized. This profound lesson of self-reliance and inner power continues to guide his work and teachings.In conclusion, Geoff Hoppe’s insights offer a transformative perspective on spirituality, enlightenment, and the role of consciousness in our lives. His message is clear: by embracing our own divinity, allowing our light to shine, and finding peace within, we can navigate the complexities of modern life with grace and wisdom.

What if the stars were more than just distant specks of light? What if they whispered the stories of our souls, mapping out the twists and turns of our journey before we even took our first breath? On today’s episode, we welcome Vish Chatterji, a Vedic Astrologer, engineer, and executive coach, who takes us beyond the cocktail party banter of sun signs and horoscopes into the ancient and deeply spiritual science of Jyotish.Unlike Western astrology, which often focuses on personality and psychology, Vedic Astrology—or Jyotish—serves as a cosmic blueprint for the soul. It is not merely a tool to predict our future, but a guide to understanding the karmic imprints we bring into this life.
As Vish Chatterji explains, “The Vedic astrology chart is basically a map of karmas that you will face in this lifetime based on whatever you've done in previous lifetimes.” In other words, our cosmic fingerprint reveals where we have been and how we can align with our highest potential.But let’s take a step back. How did a man trained in the rigor of engineering and corporate leadership end up delving into the mystical world of planetary influence? As Vish tells it, skepticism was his first reaction. He approached astrology as any good engineer would: by testing it. Over time, as he mapped planetary influences to real-life events with startling accuracy, he realized that this ancient science had something modern logic could not easily explain. It wasn’t about superstition—it was about patterns, energy, and the unseen currents that shape our lives.Through the lens of Vedic Astrology, everything is a dance of cosmic forces. Planets are not just celestial bodies; they are energetic archetypes shaping our experiences. Mars, with its fiery aggression, influences our drive and conflicts. Venus, the planet of love and beauty, governs relationships and harmony.
Saturn, the great teacher, delivers harsh lessons that ultimately bring us back to our true selves. As a nation, Vish explains, the United States itself is undergoing a period of intense karmic reckoning—a tearing down of structures that no longer serve the collective, pushing individuals to look inward and ask, “Who am I, really?”And that is the crux of this journey. Most people, Vish says, are searching for answers but lack the discipline to integrate them. Spiritual knowledge is not just something to consume—it must be lived. He likens our current technological age to the mythological clash between Mercury (the planet of intellect and speed) and Jupiter (the planet of wisdom and deep understanding). We are inundated with information, but without grounding in spiritual wisdom, we risk getting lost in an illusion of knowledge without depth. “Yes, embrace technology,” he advises, “but don’t forget your spiritual grounding.”
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
Your astrology chart is a karmic roadmap. The planets don’t dictate your fate; they reveal the energies you must learn to navigate. The more you resist, the harder the lessons become.The spiritual path requires discipline. Reading about spirituality is not the same as embodying it. A daily practice—whether meditation, prayer, or yoga—opens the doors to true wisdom.We are in a time of reckoning. Individually and collectively, we are being pushed to question old beliefs and step into greater authenticity. The external chaos is a call to turn inward and reconnect with our truth.Perhaps the greatest gift of Vedic Astrology is not the ability to foresee the future, but to illuminate the present with greater clarity. As we navigate this time of transformation, let us remember that the stars are not here to control us, but to guide us—if only we are willing to listen.

Life often nudges us toward moments of profound transformation and spiritual awakening, and today’s episode is one such occasion. We welcome Prageet Harris and Julieanne Conard, remarkable channelers whose journeys into the spiritual realms and work with the Stargate offer deep insights into the nature of consciousness and interdimensional connections. Their experiences reveal the power of opening oneself to higher dimensions and the extraordinary potentials that lie within.Prageet Harris's journey into channeling began unexpectedly in 1988. Living on Maui, he was part of a group planning to turn a hotel into a healing center. During a deeply relaxing massage session, Prageet found himself speaking unknowingly, delivering messages from a being named Alcazar. "I heard loud and clear, Alcazar, and I thought, well, that’s such a weird name, it’s not the kind of name that I would make up," he recalls. Despite his initial skepticism, the accuracy and profound nature of the messages gradually convinced him of their authenticity. Alcazar, a high-dimensional guide, began instructing Prageet to build a structure called a Stargate, an interdimensional doorway that facilitates powerful meditative experiences and connections with higher realms.
Julieanne Conard’s path intersected with Prageet’s in 2012. With a background in molecular biology, Julieanne was initially skeptical of metaphysical phenomena. However, after attending a Reconnective Healing seminar, her curiosity about channeling was piqued. She discovered the Stargate through a meetup group and experienced a profound sense of déjà vu and anticipation upon meeting Prageet. "When I saw his face for the first time, it felt like déjà vu, but like I was remembering the future," she explains. Julieanne’s connection with Alcazar and the Stargate deepened, leading her to work closely with Prageet in bringing these transformative experiences to people worldwide.The Stargate, as described by Prageet and Julieanne, is more than a physical structure. It acts as an anchor for higher dimensional consciousness, facilitating connections with the angelic realms, Ascended Masters, and other interdimensional beings. "When we do groups with it, it responds to each person in the group in a very unique way," Prageet explains. This interactive energy enables participants to have profound personal experiences, accessing states of consciousness that transcend ordinary reality.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
Interdimensional Connectivity: The Stargate provides a means to connect with higher dimensions, allowing individuals to access profound states of consciousness and spiritual insight. This connection emphasizes the importance of recognizing and embracing our multi-dimensional nature.Transformational Energy: The experiences facilitated by the Stargate demonstrate the power of focused intention and energy in creating transformative spiritual experiences. By engaging with these energies, individuals can unlock deeper levels of healing and self-awareness.Trust and Surrender: Both Prageet and Julieanne’s journeys highlight the importance of trusting and surrendering to the process of spiritual awakening. By letting go of skepticism and embracing the guidance from higher realms, they have been able to facilitate profound transformations for themselves and others.During our conversation, Prageet and Julieanne also emphasized the significance of living in the moment and being conscious of our thoughts and actions. "Our subconscious works about 100 times faster than our conscious mind," Prageet notes, underscoring the importance of becoming aware of and transforming subconscious patterns. By doing so, we can become more conscious creators of our reality, aligning our lives with higher vibrational states.Prageet and Julieanne’s work with the Stargate and their channeling of Alcazar offer a powerful reminder of the potential within each of us to connect with higher dimensions and transform our reality. Their insights encourage us to embrace our true nature, recognize our interconnectedness, and live with greater compassion and kindness. By doing so, we can contribute to the ongoing shift in human consciousness and help create a more enlightened and harmonious world.

The moment we take a breath in this world, the cosmos whispers its secrets into our very being. The sky is not just an endless expanse above—it is a grand mirror, reflecting the intricate dance of our souls. Today, we welcome Debra Silverman, Pam Gregory, Marie Diamond, and Darius J. Wright, each bringing their unique wisdom to illuminate the mysteries of astrology, energy, and consciousness.
In this profound conversation, Debra Silverman weaves a tale as old as time itself, tracing the origins of astrology back 4,000 years. She speaks of the planetary movements as divine architects, crafting the blueprint of our destinies. "It's been put in place by a very high intelligence," she says, her voice carrying the weight of ancient wisdom. "The universe, the universe, the universe—it knew." The cosmos is not a distant force—it is embedded within us, urging us to awaken.
Pam Gregory echoes this sentiment, describing astrology as a sacred language, a celestial code waiting to be deciphered. "You don’t believe in Spanish, do you?" she muses. "It’s just a language." The birth chart is a map, a cosmic fingerprint that reveals the soul’s purpose and direction. Astrology is not about superstition but about understanding the patterns that have been interwoven into our very existence.Beyond the planetary influence, our physical and energetic environments shape our journey.
Marie Diamond, a Feng Shui master, unveils the hidden forces at play within our homes. "If your home has a higher vibration," she says, "your soul will reach enlightenment faster." Our surroundings are not just walls and furniture; they are living spaces imbued with energy that can either support or stifle our spiritual growth. By realigning our environments, we open doors to harmony and higher consciousness.
Darius J. Wright takes us even further, beyond the confines of the physical world. Out-of-body experiences, he explains, are not mere dreams but tangible voyages into higher dimensions. "Your soul is physical," he asserts. "It has density, it has form." He speaks of realms stacked upon one another, unseen dimensions that hold the key to our true nature. The universe is not a single plane of existence but a multi-layered construct, waiting for us to step beyond the illusion of limitation.This conversation is not about fate, nor is it about passive belief. It is about awakening—about seeing the universe, our homes, and ourselves as vibrant, interconnected forces of creation. Whether through astrology, energy alignment, or out-of-body experiences, we are reminded that reality is far more malleable than we have been led to believe. The celestial, the spiritual, and the tangible are not separate; they are threads in the same grand tapestry.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
Astrology is a language, not a belief system. Like music or mathematics, it follows patterns and principles that, when understood, reveal deep truths about our nature.Our environments influence our spiritual journey. Whether through Feng Shui or personal intention, the spaces we inhabit hold energy that can elevate or hinder us.Out-of-body experiences reveal the multi-dimensional nature of existence. The physical world is just one layer of a vast cosmic framework, and learning to navigate it opens doorways to profound awareness.The universe is not a distant entity, cold and indifferent. It is alive, responsive, and intricately connected to every breath we take. The stars do not dictate—they invite. They whisper, not command. The question is, are we listening?

What if I told you that death is not an end, but an exquisite unfolding—an elegant, natural transition, much like birth? We arrive in this world gasping for breath, and when it is time to leave, we do so with a final sigh, a great exhale into the unknown. In today’s episode, we welcome Julie McFadden, a hospice nurse whose experiences on the front lines of death have given her an intimate understanding of the great departure. Her journey has taken her from the high-intensity world of ICU nursing, where medicine fights tooth and nail to preserve life, to the quiet wisdom of hospice care, where she has learned that letting go is often more profound than holding on.One of the great paradoxes of our time is how we treat death as an adversary rather than a companion. Julie McFadden shared how, as an ICU nurse, she was surrounded by a culture that viewed death as failure. Machines beeping, frantic attempts at resuscitation, and families holding on to every last shred of hope—even when the body itself was pleading to let go. It wasn’t until she stepped into hospice care that she realized something miraculous: the body knows how to die. It prepares itself for the journey. Hunger and thirst fade, energy dims, and a natural peace takes hold. “Dying itself is not painful,” she explained. “It’s the diseases that cause pain, but the process of dying is something the body knows how to do. If we just allow it, it can be peaceful.”But there is more to death than biology. There is something unspoken, something mysterious at play. One of the most profound experiences Julie McFadden has had is what is known as a shared death experience. She recalled a beloved patient, a man who had lived with anxiety and isolation for most of his life, but in his final months found peace through hospice care.
The day he passed, as she sat in her car, she suddenly felt an overwhelming surge of joy and liberation. She could hear his voice, see his beaming smile, and sense his astonishment. “Oh my gosh, Julie. If I only would have known!” he kept repeating. The feeling was one of weightlessness, as if he were soaring into a vast and loving expanse. Moments later, her phone buzzed. The message confirmed what she already knew: he had just passed away.These moments, unexplainable by science yet deeply felt by those who witness them, are common in hospice care. Patients report seeing deceased loved ones weeks before they die, often expressing excitement rather than fear. “They don’t come to scare us,” she said. “They come to let us know we’re not alone in this.” These visions are not hallucinations from medication or oxygen deprivation—this phenomenon happens too frequently, too consistently, to be dismissed. Perhaps, then, what we call ‘death’ is simply a return to the home we have long forgotten.And what of those who fear death? Julie McFadden believes that much of our dread comes from the unknown, but the more we talk about it, the less power it has over us. Planning for death, embracing its certainty, does not hasten it—it simply makes it more graceful. “We plan everything—vacations, weddings, careers—but we refuse to plan for death. Why?” she asked. The answer, of course, is fear. But just as birth is a passage into form, death is a passage out of it. Nothing more, nothing less.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
Death is not the enemy. It is a process as natural as breathing, and when we embrace it rather than resist it, it can be a peaceful transition.Love is the only thing that matters. In the end, it’s not achievements or wealth that hold meaning, but the presence of loved ones, the quiet moments of care, and the tenderness of human connection.We are never truly alone. Shared death experiences, visions of loved ones, and near-death encounters all point to the same reality: there is something beyond, something awaiting us with open arms.So perhaps, instead of fearing death, we should sit with it, invite it in for tea, and ask it what it has to teach us. After all, the great cosmic joke is that death was never an ending—it was always a beginning.

Humanity stands on the precipice of an unprecedented transformation. The world as we know it is unraveling, and a new paradigm is being woven into existence. On today's episode, we welcome Gregg Braden, a scientist and visionary, who has spent decades decoding the deep mysteries of our past to illuminate the crossroads of our future. As civilizations rise and fall, as technology accelerates beyond the scope of human comprehension, we are left with a single question—what does it mean to be truly human?In this profound conversation, Gregg Braden unravels the deeper layers of a world hurtling toward 2030.
He warns of a silent war—one not fought with weapons but with ideology, with the very fabric of human biology. We are witnessing an era where the boundaries between human and machine blur, where artificial intelligence, genetic modification, and digital surveillance seek to redefine the human experience. But at what cost?He speaks of a parallel world emerging, one where a faction of humanity blindly surrenders itself to technological integration, eager to be plugged into an artificial consciousness. And yet, another group resists, striving to retain the raw, unquantifiable essence of what it means to be alive. This division, he explains, is not just societal—it is spiritual. "The goal of the struggle between good and evil is to deny us our humanness," he says. If humanity forgets its own divinity, what remains but programmable flesh?This is not speculation; it is happening now. Governments and corporations are openly designing a world where biology is rewritten, where emotions, intuition, and even the capacity to love are seen as inefficiencies in need of an upgrade. But Braden reminds us: we are the technology.
The human body is an intricate, self-regulating system capable of feats beyond our comprehension. Every breath, every thought, every intention activates a hidden intelligence embedded within us, far superior to anything silicon could replicate.But there is more at play. Ancient prophecies, spiritual teachings, and modern science converge upon the year 2030 as a fulcrum—a moment when humanity either ascends to its highest potential or succumbs to an engineered reality. From the Mayan calendar to the Kali Yuga, from biblical scripture to the ominous strategies of global institutions, the signs are all around us. The world is being remade, but who is writing the blueprint?The key, Gregg Braden insists, is consciousness. This is not a time for fear, but for awareness. By reclaiming our ability to think critically, to love deeply, and to choose with intention, we preserve what is sacred. This is the true battle—not against external forces, but within ourselves. The choice is simple yet profound: do we relinquish our sovereignty to a system designed to suppress, or do we awaken the divine potential that has always been within us?
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
Technology vs. Consciousness – We must be vigilant in ensuring that technology serves us, rather than enslaving us. Human potential is not meant to be replaced, but awakened.The Power of Awareness – Understanding the agendas at play gives us the ability to make informed choices. Fear paralyzes, but awareness liberates.Living as a Sovereign Being – Our divinity is not something given or taken away—it is inherent. To preserve our humanness is to honor the sacred within ourselves and others.As we stand at the threshold of a new era, we must ask ourselves: what will we become? The world is shifting, but we are not merely observers—we are the creators of the reality that will unfold. And so, the invitation remains: awaken, remember, and reclaim what is yours by divine right.

On today’s episode, we welcome the remarkable Connie H. Deutsch, a business consultant, personal advisor, counselor, and author of 13 books. Known for her deep insights and transformative advice, Connie shares her journey into counseling and consulting, revealing the wisdom she has gathered over years of helping others find clarity and purpose in their lives.Connie's entry into the world of counseling and consulting was serendipitous. "I think it was probably by accident," she says, reflecting on how she found her calling. One pivotal moment involved a conversation with a CEO concerned about overpopulation. Without hesitation, she predicted a significant population decrease, a prediction that eerily came true with the pandemic. This moment, among others, cemented her reputation as someone with profound foresight and a unique ability to see beyond the immediate.Throughout our conversation, Connie emphasizes the importance of focusing on what truly matters in life. She recounts how she woke up one day feeling a void, questioning if this was all there was to life. This introspection led her to simplify her life, shedding unnecessary material possessions and superficial relationships. "I learned how to say no," she explains, highlighting the importance of setting boundaries and focusing on meaningful pursuits.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
The Power of Visualization: Connie’s journey illustrates the transformative power of visualization. From creating a birthmark through sheer focus as a child to successfully predicting future events, her experiences show how intense focus and belief can shape reality. "You have to have that determination. You have to have that perseverance," she says, emphasizing the need for unwavering focus to bring about change.Living a Spiritual Life: For Connie, living a spiritual life means more than just following religious doctrines. It involves deep self-reflection, forgiveness, and unconditional love. "If you don't like your life, change it. If you don't like your karma, change it," she quotes Yogananda, highlighting the possibility of transforming one's destiny through conscious effort and spiritual practice.Service to Humanity: A recurring theme in Connie's philosophy is the importance of helping others. She believes that true fulfillment comes from being of service to others. "My measure of success is, have I made a difference in anyone’s life?" she asks, urging us to focus on contributions that uplift and support others.Connie's story is also a testament to the importance of authenticity in spiritual practice. She coined the term "phony holies" to describe people who talk about spirituality without living it. This realization led her to follow Yogananda's teachings, which resonated deeply with her. His book, "Autobiography of a Yogi," provided her with a framework for spiritual growth that was both practical and profound.Meditation plays a crucial role in Connie’s life, helping her connect with the creative force of the universe. She started with extensive meditation sessions, which helped her focus and achieve a deeper understanding of her purpose. "I started out with seven or eight hours of meditation a day," she recalls, emphasizing the importance of sustained practice in achieving spiritual clarity.Connie also discusses the concept of karma and how it can be changed through living a spiritual life.
By forgiving herself and others, and by living with love and compassion, she believes it is possible to transform negative karma. "You have to have that faith because doubt and fear cannot coexist with faith," she explains, urging us to choose faith over fear.As our conversation draws to a close, Connie shares her concerns about the future of humanity, emphasizing the need for a global awakening to address the challenges we face. Despite these concerns, she expresses confidence in the transformative power of individuals who are dedicated to making a difference, highlighting the potential for profound change through collective effort and spiritual growth.

There’s something profoundly liberating about peeling back the layers of history and finding the raw, untamed wisdom beneath. On today’s episode, we welcome Neil Douglas Klotz, a scholar and mystic whose journey into the Aramaic roots of Jesus’s teachings unveils a radically different understanding of the man, his message, and the world he lived in.The Jesus many of us have encountered is a product of centuries of translation, political maneuvering, and cultural adaptation. The blue-eyed, English-speaking figure who stands at the center of Western Christianity is a far cry from the Aramaic-speaking mystic who roamed the hills of ancient Palestine. Neil Douglas Klotz takes us back to the beginning, to the words that Jesus actually spoke, words that vibrate with an entirely different rhythm than those found in the King James Bible. “If you read ‘spirit’ in the New Testament,” he says, “just put ‘breath’ over that word, because that’s what the Aramaic also means.”It is in this forgotten wisdom that we find a Jesus who wasn’t simply demanding belief but rather inviting participation.
One of the most profound mistranslations, according to Klotz, is the oft-quoted phrase “believe in me.” In Aramaic, the more accurate translation is “believe like me.” This shifts the message entirely—Jesus wasn’t asking for blind devotion but instead urging people to embody faith in the way he did, to step into the divine flow as he had.The Aramaic worldview, Klotz explains, did not divide existence into rigid dualities. There was no separation between body and soul, breath and spirit, heaven and earth. The kingdom of heaven, Jesus said, is not some far-off celestial domain but something “within and among” us. The words for “within” and “among” are the same in Aramaic—suggesting that the divine is not a place to go but a way to be, something alive in the interconnected web of existence.And what of hell? Another grand misunderstanding, says Klotz. Jesus never spoke of a fiery pit of eternal torment but rather referred to Gehenna, a literal burning trash heap outside of Jerusalem. The idea of an eternal damnation was a much later addition, a political tool used to control through fear. The Jesus of Aramaic tradition wasn’t threatening souls with punishment—he was urging people to purify their burdens, to release what weighs them down, to transform their suffering rather than be consumed by it.Even the crucifixion, Klotz suggests, is layered in mystery and translation errors. The idea of Jesus returning, he argues, is not about a second coming in the clouds but rather about a recognition of Christ’s presence in one another. “We will see Jesus in each other and in nature,” he says. “That’s the Second Coming.” Perhaps the greatest tragedy of organized religion has been its insistence on externalizing the divine, when all along Jesus was saying: It’s here, now, inside you.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSBreath is Spirit – In Aramaic, the word for spirit and breath are the same. Every inhale and exhale connects us to something greater, a reminder that we are not separate from the divine but are continuously part of its unfolding.Faith is Participation, Not Belief – Jesus didn’t ask people to believe in him; he asked them to embody faith as he did. It’s about stepping into a way of being rather than subscribing to a doctrine.Heaven is Within and Among Us – The kingdom of heaven is not a distant place but a lived experience, something we create through our relationships, actions, and awareness.It’s a wild thing, to realize how much has been hidden in plain sight. The Aramaic Jesus is not a figure of power and punishment, but a guide toward deep presence, compassion, and awakening. It is in the breath, in the heart, in the connection between beings that his true teachings still whisper through time.
