The Channeling Source Podcast Episode 13. What if Life Doesn't Have to Be Serious? What if it's NOT About Harsh Lessons? | Full Channel Mode Episode (with Kat Collins) In this episode, Brandon jumps into full channel mode and channels The Angelic Collective of Xorbítal on a collection of questions Kat brings to the table that are a bit more out there this time. This inspires a few more questions from Kat around the various topics that come up. Xorbítal then launches into a bit of information around taking their words lightly, playing, and living more in joy. Some topics channeled on in this episode include going further regarding information that came through last episode, lifetimes on other planets, whether or not life has to be serious and hard, approaching enlightenment intuitively, and way more! Timestamps Intro 0:00 Full Channel Mode Begins 2:00 What did you mean (in episode 12) when you said part of us is always on the other side? 2:56 Have I incarnated on planets other than Earth? 9:34 Is heart energy more unique to Earth? 10:47 Is my higher self part of this personality framework or beyond it? 14:27 Is enlightenment coming from the higher self at all times? 16:31 Is life a serious thing or is it just an experience? 18:24 What if you can learn everything through joy?

A few seconds later they gave him a name for them, The Angelic Collective of Xorbítal. In essence, it is a collective of his spirit guides, the angels, and Source. It very strongly features angelic energies and the angels, if you were wondering. *** Benefits of Listening to Channeled Material •The Messages themselves •An energetic transmission from Source that works only for the highest good.

In conversation with comedian and author James "Murr" Murray Surely You Can't Be Serious is a behind-the-scenes making-of oral history of the 1980 comedy classic Airplane!, as told by its equally legendary writers and directors David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker. Featuring anecdotes by the film's stars, it also delves into the making of fan-favorite scenes and the organic (read: pre-Internet) evolution toward its place in the pop culture pantheon. Zucker and company, also the auteurs of the cultishly adored Kentucky Fried Movie and Top Secret!, each branched out into further film success. Zucker himself went on to direct a plethora of film comedies, including The Naked Gun franchise, BASEketball, Scary Movie 3 & 4, and many others, as well as writing and producing Scary Movie 5. He is also the author of the memoir Before the Invention of Smiling, an unconventional version of his family history. What can we make out of his books? Well, we can make a hat, or a brooch, or a pterodactyl.... James Murray is one of the hosts of the long-running and popular TruTV improv program Impractical Jokers. Also the co-author of the Awakened and Area 51 Interns series of sci-fi novels, he has toured solo as a standup comedian, starred in TBS's The Misery Index, and appeared in numerous other television shows and films.  Because you love Author Events, please make a donation to keep our podcasts free for everyone.

You may know him from television shows such as House, Designated Survivor, Sunnyside, and How I Met Your Mother. He is also recognized for his performance in the film The Namesake and of course the Harold and Kumar series (I personally still love Taj Mahal Badalandabad). Penn has taught at the University of Pennsylvania in the Cinema Studies Program as a visiting lecturerWe talk about it all from our first impressions, to those fantastic middle school years, to his job as a farmhand right before he went to UCLA. He talks about the meaning behind the Brown Catch-22, his journey with stereotyping in Hollywood, his experience going to India with President Barack Obama, and why he needed a mini-fridge in the White House.We of course bust out with some Gujarati (our native Indian language) which Kal definitely schools me on.His new memoir, You Can't Be Serious, is out and it's a fantastic read! There just wasn't enough time to give a shout out to all the uncles and aunties we loved growing up.....

What do you do when who you want to be and who the world tells you to be are different? In a world of stereotypes and expectations, how do we figure out who we really are? Actor Kal Penn and the Surgeon General go deep on these questions as they compare notes on growing up as children of immigrants and discuss Penn's experiences with discrimination, bullying, self-doubt, and societal pressure while launching his career. If you have ever wondered how to navigate being different, or wanting something other than what's expected of you, tune in – Kal Penn has been there! Kal Penn, Actor &Author Twitter: @kalpenn Instagram: @kalpenn Facebook: @kalpenn About Kal Penn Kal Penn is an actor, writer, producer, and author. He is known for his starring roles in the “Harold & Kumar” series, “Designated Survivor,” “House,” and the patriotic immigration sit-com “Sunnyside,” which he co-created for NBC. Kal published his best-selling memoir “You Can't Be Serious” in 2022. In it, he recounts a series of funny, consequential, awkward, and ridiculous stories from Kal Penn's idiosyncratic life. His story reaches back to his grandparents who marched with Gandhi and growing up the son of immigrant parents, who came to this country with very little and went very far—and whose vision of the American dream probably never included their son appearing in the Ryan Reynolds movie “Van Wilder”…or getting a phone call from Air Force One as Kal flew with the country's first Black president. In addition to acting, Kal has been engaged in the public sector. He served as an Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, where he served as President Obama's Liaison to Young Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, and the Arts community. In these roles, he worked on a range of issues, including the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, the Affordable Care Act, Pell Grants, arts and culture programs, the DREAM Act, and rapid response to the BP Oil Spill and earthquake in Haiti. In 2012, he was a national co-chair for the Obama/Biden re-election campaign and served on the President's Committee for the Arts and Humanities. Originally from New Jersey, he received his undergraduate degree in sociology, theater, film, and television at the University of California, Los Angeles, and received a graduate certificate in international security from Stanford University. He has been a term member at the Council on Foreign Relations. Penn has taught courses at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of California, Los Angeles. Penn most recently wrapped production on the CBS Drama, “Clarice” (based on “Silence of the Lambs”), and Freeform's late night youth election format show “Kal Penn Approves This Message.” He currently stars in the animated Disney Junior series “Mira,” “Royal Detective,” is an Executive Producer on the Viacom/Paramount + comedy, “Surina & Mel,” and can be heard in Nickelodeon's “It's Pony.” His culinary competition series “Money Hungry” aired on Food Network this winter.

You most likely remember Kal as half of the stoner comedy duo “Harold and Kumar”, or if you've watched a lot of medical dramas like I have you may have enjoyed his 2 season arc on House MD where he lit a patient on fire instead of doing chest compressions. But if your name is “Barack Obama” (hey Prez, check your DMs, come on the show?) you may instead remember Kal as a full time staff member at the White House. Huh? President Obama hired the White Castle guy, after he was already famous? That's right. Your tax dollars paid his salary for years as a full time staff member of the White House Office of Public Engagement. Turns out the roller coaster ride of Kal's life didn't end with him sitting at the movie premiere for Van Wilder, next to his strict Indian immigrant parents, watching his oiled body slide off a naked woman while playing a character literally named “Taj Mahal” (yikes). In Kal's new book, You Can't Be Serious, he not only details some of the stunning racism he's faced throughout his 20+ years in Hollywood, but also stories of those late nights in Washington DC working alongside President Obama navigating some of America's most highly controversial political issues, such as the hurdles they had to clear to remove the army's “Don't Ask, Don't Tell” policy, which barred openly queer people from serving in the armed forces. I asked Kal about all of these big picture stories, as well as some smaller ones, like how it's possible he walks around every day with a tattoo on his left arm that has a typo.
