Ethereal Encounters Welcomes David Sereda LIVE, Friday, November 21st, 2025 - 3 PM EST Topic: 3I/Atlas and the Hyperdimensional: A New Solar System Bio: David Sereda is an inventor, author, filmmaker, and spiritual researcher known for his work in quantum harmonics, frequency-based healing technologies, UFOs, and consciousness development. Born on August 21, 1961, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, he grew up as the second eldest in a family of five boys. His father, Dr. Lynn Sereda, a Ph.D. in educational psychology from UC Berkeley, profoundly influenced him by introducing meditation at age 13 to pursue "God Consciousness" and spiritual growth. The family briefly relocated to Berkeley, California, in 1964 for his father's studies, amid a period of social and spiritual change that shaped David's early interests. His childhood included significant challenges, such as his parents' divorce, which deepened his quest for spiritual enlightenment. Over 23 years, David worked as a tree planter in British Columbia, personally planting more than 1.3 million trees while integrating physical labor with daily meditation practices. He has over 40 years of experience in meditation, studying world religions (including Buddhism, Hinduism, Gnostic Christianity), yoga, breathwork, sound healing, philosophy, physics, UFOs, crop circles, sacred sites, and consciousness. David's career spans multiple fields: he has authored books like Mona Lisa's Little Secret, Face to Face with Jesus Christ, and The Great Pyramid and The Harmony of the Order (co-authored with his wife, Crystal Sereda); directed and produced documentaries such as Dan Aykroyd Unplugged on UFOs (2005), Quantum Communication (2009), and From Here to Andromeda (2017); and appeared on numerous radio and TV shows. In 1994, he reported a profound spiritual encounter, describing a face-to-face meeting with Jesus Christ, which led him to become a disciple while honoring his diverse past teachers. With Crystal, whom he met in Los Angeles through Dan Aykroyd during a UFO footage analysis session at the House of Blues, David co-developed the Quantum ReGenesis meditation and consciousness course series (audio/video). They founded Lightstream Harmonics Technologies, focusing on natural technologies to imprint frequencies and vibrations into jewelry, crystals, and gem-powered EMF Rife frequency devices for healing and DNA activation. Their work explores Tesla technologies, scalar energy, and quantum science for spiritual and physical wellness. David continues to innovate in bio-electric healing systems and harmonic frequencies, offering courses and products through davidsereda.co. Regarding your reference to www.davidsereda.co, that site primarily showcases his inventions and products under Lightstream Harmonics Technologies (e.g., gem-powered healing devices), with limited biographical details—it positions him as the creator of these authentic, handcrafted items and provides contact info (email: DavidSereda@hotmail.com; phone: 250-551-7176)

Clinical trial design in nephrology is evolving. In this episode, leading experts explore why a paradigm shift is needed from traditional biomarkers to patient-centered outcomes and practical strategies for advancing trial implementation.

Prepositions matter in this episode, specifically that three-letter word ‘for.' What is outdoor learning ‘for' assessment? How can we facilitate outdoor learning ‘for' social-emotional learning (SEL)? Teacher, writer, podcaster, and regular sit-spot practitioner Lauren MacLean of Teach Outdoors joined us to talk assessment and SEL in the context of learning outdoors. We also got into the weeds regarding British Columbia's competency-based assessment framework as well as documenting learners' progress on a continuum.   Guest: Lauren MacLean From the Teach Outdoors website “I was born and raised in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada by my two amazing parents. My brother, sister, and I grew up playing in the ditches and wetlands in the summer and exploring the snowy mountains in the winter.   I now live in Port Moody, BC. It's still on the West Coast of Canada, just a bit further up the Burrard Inlet. My family lives at the top of Heritage Mountain where we enjoy taking our two young toddlers and energetic dog on forest hikes.   I am very grateful to be living and learning on these lands which lie on the traditional, unceded territory of the Coast Salish people since time immemorial.”   Mentioned in episode: Teach Outdoors Teach Outdoors Podcast CASEL Wild Learning (Rachel Tidd) Related resources: Sitting with Nature: An Educator's Guide to Sit Spots Me and My Sit Spot Me and My Sit Spot for Early Learners Embracing Risky Play at School

In this episode of the Beyond Running Podcast, Manuel "Eme" Morato sits down with Leslie Vallecillo, Josh Holland, and Philip Mangan to revisit an unforgettable expedition through the wild landscapes of British Columbia. The group, supported by Vivobarefoot, was dropped deep into the backcountry by helicopter and set out to hike ten peaks in minimalist shoes, an experience that pushed their physical, mental, and emotional boundaries while deepening their connection to nature and one another. Together, they reflect on what it means to move through the world with intention and awareness, stripped down to the essentials. Each guest shares what the journey revealed to them about endurance, trust, and the power of collective experience. The conversation also touches on the upcoming documentary that captures their adventure: an intimate portrayal of both the challenge and the beauty found in reconnecting with the wild. This episode is both a reflection and a teaser: a glimpse into an expedition that became more than a physical test, it became a lesson in humility, presence, and the profound sense of belonging that emerges when humans return to the rhythms of the Earth.

A single sentence in the Criminal Code can decide whether you can legally remove someone from your home—or whether you're suddenly the one at risk of an assault charge. We break down a fresh BC Supreme Court ruling that reads purpose into Parliament's 2011 reforms on self-defence and defence of property, answering a practical question with big stakes: if you invite someone in and later revoke consent, can you use reasonable force to make them leave? Short answer: yes, if you give a reasonable time to go and the force is proportionate, because the law was never meant to grant squatters' rights to rowdy guests and stubborn salespeople.From there, we follow the thread of “reasonableness” into family law. British Columbia treats partners who live together in a marriage-like relationship for two continuous years as spouses for property division, but the crucial trigger is separation. The two-year limitation period starts when you separate, not when the romance finally fizzles. In the case we unpack, on‑again, off‑again reunions couldn't reset the clock. If you plan to claim division of property, mark the separation date, organise documents, and act before the window closes.We close with a cautionary tale about civil procedure and proportionality: a $9,000 used SUV, mechanical trouble, and a claim that ballooned to $250 million. The court ordered security for costs, balancing access to justice against the burden of defending an outsized, low‑merit case with little chance of recovering expenses. Together, these stories showcase how Canadian courts weigh text, purpose, and fairness—guarding property rights, enforcing clear timelines, and filtering litigation through practical safeguards.If you enjoyed the analysis, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves real‑world law, and leave a quick review to help others find us. Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discussed. 

On this episode of Come Out Heavy, the Gassholes saddle up for a wide-ranging, no-filter breakdown of the latest in the BC hunting world. We kick things off with a recap of our most recent mule deer hunt in British Columbia—what worked, what didn't, and how a brutally timed flat tire tried its best to end the trip early.From there, we dive into the string of recent grizzly bear attacks across BC and Alberta, and the ongoing challenges around predator management. It's a conversation that needs to happen, and we're not shy about saying the quiet parts out loud.We also wade into the highly controversial discussions happening right now around “land back” initiatives and First Nations land use in BC—offering thoughts and opinions on what's being said, Rounding things out, we talk about the highs, lows, and outright dangers of having the wrong (or right) hunting partner in the mountains. From the guys who save the day to the ones who nearly ruin it.A classic Gassholes episode: honest, gritty, and unapologetically honest.

Join the Leaving Egypt community on Substack: leavingegyptpodcast.substack.comIn this episode, Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair talk with Tim Dickau about the ways he has lived out his work as a Christian leader in the city. Tim is one of those thoroughly urbanized people whose roots are in rural Alberta, Canada. Shaped by the rhythms of farming and the practice of hospitality, Tim's unique blend of prairie populism shows up in his theology of place. Rather than starting with a plan or a project, he begins by asking, “What could grow here?” Deeply attentive to how God is already at work in people's lives, he tills the ground in faith, trusting that something will emerge. His journey wasn't straightforward. After leading a large church for many years, a season of burnout revealed for him a new way of being a leader. Sharing life across socio-economic divides reshaped his understanding of justice. This brought forth acts of resistance—addressing food insecurity and homelessness—and expressions of hope, such as repurposing church buildings for affordable housing. In the midst of all this, Tim is that detective of divinity, listening to what it is the Spirit wants to weave in the city, creating spaces where others can join with God in the restoration of the whole of life.Tim Dickau is the Director of City Gate Vancouver, a charity that works with churches and social organizations across the city addressing social problems like displacement of refugees, food insecurity, poverty, and in particular affordable housing and the use of church buildings. He's also a trainer in the Certificate in Missional Leadership, a one-year congregational cohort based program, at St Andrew's Hall, the Presbyterian Church college at the University of British Columbia. For more than twenty years, Tim was the pastor of Grandview Calvary Baptist Church in the downtown east side of Vancouver.

In the wake of the #MeToo firing of the University of British Columbia creative writing professor Steven Galloway — which is once again in the news this week — our guest on the program today sat down to write a book of advice for young feminists. But her good friend Margaret Atwood convinced her that nobody likes unsolicited advice, and that she should instead frame her memoir around her unusual height and how it shaped her life. The result is a riveting narrative that also offers up plenty of lessons to the next generation of women.Susan Swan is a Canadian novelist, non-fiction writer, professor emerita at York University, and a recipient of the Order of Canada.

More from Carmen Perez, the gal who just canoed the length of the Columbia River with her dogToday we hear more from our interview with Carmen Perez, the gal who last week ended her two-month long journey canoeing the entire length of the Columbia River, from its headwaters in British Columbia, Canada, to Clatsop Spit in Oregon. She made the trip with her loyal dog, Zuri, a border collie mix.

What does it take to make human art today? Is worth it? We kick off a new series on Indie Publishing with my dear friend and found-sister Angie Kelly today! Welcome to Episode 1. On this episode, Angie and I work to pull back the curtain on the emotional and economic substrate behind a book: the thousands of quiet hours, the minimum‑wage calculus, the edits that cost more than many tired authors even earn, and the launch-day silence that can follow years of work.From there, Angie and I dive into the attention economy bent on reshaping how readers discover books, and all art, from BookTok and Bookstagram to other strange realities that can crown a title overnight, and we highlight how trend saturation squeezes nuance and human-ness, leaving quieter and highly crafted novels invisible. Angie speaks well on why publishers chase velocity, why flashy debuts can fizzle just as fast, and how fan-fiction-to-film pipelines and algorithm-friendly marketing pathways distort realities of art.If you care about books built by human hearts, you'll find both something here. Join us, subscribe, and share this episode with a reader or writer who needs it!Angelina Kelly is an indie author and biologist who was born and raised in Alaska and has an inherent love for nature. She now lives in British Columbia where she works as a biologist and writes epic fantasy books that weave in her reverence for wilderness and the natural world. Learn more about Angie's work and books HERE!Learn more about Daniel's work and books HERE!

In this episode of The UVM podcast, hosts Steve Cieslewicz and Nick Ferguson welcome Dennis Fallon, Executive Director of The Utility Arborist Association (UAA) to discuss the organization's strategic plans and evolution. Dennis shares the UAA's ambitious vision for the next 5 years, maintaining its historic role of supporting arborists while evolving to become the voice of the Right-of-Way (ROW) industry. This will involve driving industry norms and best management practices to influence a broader collection of stakeholders. An example is provided on the lack of standardization in the investigation of tree-caused outages. Utilities with advanced programs collect good data but not to one standard, and researchers therefore have a hard time utilizing this information and drawing conclusions from it. The UAA seeks to move the industry away from data ponds towards communal data lakes that we all stand to benefit from.  In addition to the strategic vision for The UAA, the episode includes a debrief of the record-breaking Trees and Utilities event that took place in September 2025, and a brief on the Environmental Concerns in Right-of-Way Management Symposium that will take place May 11-14 2026 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Past proceedings from the conference can be found here.A huge thank you to the sponsor of this season and episode, Clear Path Utility Solutions.

Episode 393: On a cold February day in 2022, tragedy struck the small communities of Creston and Kimberley, British Columbia. Julia Howe, a familiar face to her neighbours, was found lifeless in the bathroom of her partner's home. Just hours later and nearly a hundred kilometres away, David Creamer, a father and trusted friend, was discovered dead in his own house. Both initially believed accidental or natural, no one suspected that these two deaths would soon be linked. The true story was finally revealed, albeit in a peculiar manner. The connection between the deaths was finally revealed when Mitchell Earl McIntyre, a man known to both victims, confessed to hospital staff that he was responsible for both deaths. The problem was that, at first, no one believed him. It was the killer's insistence and admissions of guilt that finally cracked the case.

Is there life in space? Mainstream science is converging on a positive answer. So why are people still talking about the so-called Fermi paradox?We examine the evidence for some important questions: Is there water beyond our little blue ball? Is there life in space? If so, what do we know about it? Where is everybody? Have they already arrived?BioKen is the author of several books, including UFOs In the Bible, Before Roswell, and Fermi's Paradox is Bullshit. I have also authored commentaries on two of the major Sumerian creation myths, the Enuma Elish, and the Atrahasis Epic, and am the lead translator and commentator for the Bara Bible, a completely new Old Testament translation like nothing you have seen before, based on a fresh etymological deep dive into the original ancient Hebrew texts. I have also written a couple of novels and a lot of poetry just for fun.As a professional systems analyst, I have come to realize that any system is only as good as its data, and that one of the key factors in data quality is consistency. While my degree from the University of Northern British Columbia is in computer science, I minored in anthropology, and have studied a broad range of other topics including physics and electronics engineering at the College of New Caledonia and Vancouver Island University, religion and philosophy at Briercrest College, and business administration at the University of British Columbia. These further studies cemented the fact that there exists a set of universally consistent patterns, the true essence of which we have only scratched the surface of. Even with our limited understanding, we have developed truly miraculous technologies and have come to understand our place in the universe as a unique one.However, the consistent story that is becoming more and more evident is that this uniqueness may be somewhat misinformed. The big picture of patterns emerging from phenomenology, mythology, archaeology, astronomy, and physics is beginning to form an emergent view of consistency across these varied disciplines – a view where modern man is not the pinnacle of creation as we have been led to believe.My writing thus far has endeavored to begin exploring some of the puzzle pieces, in a way that is consistent with an overarching paradigm that includes seemingly disparate views. It is my hope to continue to bring these viewpoints one step closer together, with an eventual goal of possibly integrating more of them in an explicit way. So far, I am working with a lot of hints, but each of these hints is solidly evidence based. The more I dig, the more amazed I become at where the evidence seems to lead, but only when we have defined a more complete and widespread dataset can we truly draw meaningful conclusions with a foundation stronger than speculation. It is my dream that soon the evidence will coagulate in a truly meaningful and incontrovertible manner, and it is to this end that I will continue to aim my efforts.Please subscribe to Ken's free substack channel for occasional articles on topics including but not limited to conceptual ancient mythology and ancient alien theory… or whatever else catches his eye.You may also like to catch a couple of his Appearances on other channels, or read a couple articles he wrote for Ancient Origins Magazine.He is the host of the Dimensionfold Youtube channel featuring discussions on many fascinating subjects and interviews with authors, researchers, alien abductees and paranormal witnesses.https://ufo.dimensionfold.com/https://dimensionfold.com/authors/ken-goudsward/https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C2DXDCZX? https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Last night I was telling the members because of being sick most of the week I would be replaying an episode for the public show. Most of you have not heard this encounter and it is one of my favorite witnesses. John is from British Columbia. He works as a lineman and in 2006, just after first light, John was dropped off by helicopter on Tumbler ridge. From the high ground he saw what he thought was a bear but as he watched it, he realized it was not a bear. Than he saw another one, then what appeared to be smaller ones. John goes into details about what he saw and what they were doing. After sometime of observing them the creatures started to get up and scan the ridgeline almost like they knew they were being watched. John writes "Without a doubt in 2006 I watched a group of Sasquatch clear as day rolling rocks in a scree Field while working Seismic, a heli in only area. Not a doubt in my mind I watched for over 5 min easy a group or family of Sasquatch rolling rocks at the bottom edge of a scree field. I reached out to your show in early days but didn't want to sound crazy n bailed out. They were at best a half sport Field away. I was alone on what's called in the seismic world "trouble shooting". It was an hour after first light. Was dropped off by the helicopter at first light on a peak of a rolling mountain and was tasked with a line break locate with little info other than head down hill until you find line and reassess. I was equipped with a radio and gps. Long story short with little to no info of the area other than than a fly over with the heli pilot of where the line was vs where I was dropped off I was blind. Wasn't scared, wasn't shook as I was experienced at this point. Radio on but volume on .1 of zero so I could hear my environment One ish hour in to my downhill hike I came across the massive scree slides that I'd seen from the heli, as I traversed side hill in an attempt to not have to cross this huge slide using a clear gamedeer trail that followed around the rim as the slide area narrowed I could hear in the narrowing slide edge constant almost man made rocks rolling. My senses were heightened as initially I thought it was the slide slowly moving or a grizzly bear rolling rocks as I had heard stories of prior. I as silently as possible proceeded thinking I'd see nothing or a bear, radio ready in hand as protocol stated to immediately call in a bear so the helicopter pilots could come and push off the threat. To my surprise after about 20 min of my most silent approach hearing the constant sound of rolling rocks I saw (at that moment) it. Immediately I thought bears but almost instantly I knew I wasn't looking at a bear. Big downward facing head n shoulders, Breasts, long arms, long legs, hunched over, hand pinching things thumb to index like pinching bugs then to mouth. As I'm staring at this hairy female where no humans have probably ever been I see another 2 small ones less noticeable in the rocks doing the same action. I watched for a solid 3 or 4 minutes knowing my LG chocolate phone would only snap a black blob on grey rocks. Then from the most narrow edge of the screen Field comes a an fn massive female, twice as big easy, same attributes but less athletic and more warn. Head as big as my chest. Bends over and same action, within 20 seconds I hear a small animal squeal and the big female has something in its hand and everyone of them popped up and looked but within one second a massive male (dick swinging) breaks the same area where the big female came from right up beside the big female and snatched the whatever rodent from her and immediately ate it. I couldn't see what it was but he put it in his mouth. Without a missed beat (Almost immediately) all three larger ones stood up tall n were scanning and sniffing, I pancaked in that moment, pressed my radio n said quietly bear bear bear which is taken very seriously. Within a minute a had a helicopter buzzing my area feet above the trees in a super aggressive manor I watched all 5 dispatch at the same time I heard the helicopter inbound. They headed down ish and I only thought to head back to the helipad. I ran but as quietly as I could. I made it back in about the same time it took me to get down. Once I was on the helicopter I told the pilot what I saw and his neck snapped towards me and said I fn knew it. I knew what I saw, you're not crazy, we shouldn't be here ect. Long story short after that everyone went out in groups."

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles LearIn last week's blog, we looked at a case from British Columbia that involved two witnesses who said they not only saw a UFO on the night of October 3, 1981, described as an upside-down flying saucer with its dome underneath surrounded by four lights that were in the 3,6,9, and 12 o'clock positions, but also had encounters with MiB types afterwards. The main witness, a 16-year-old who ran his own security company, Grant Breiland, reportedly took a photo that was not developed at the time of the article. The other witness, identified only as “N.B.” was a 19-year-old male who said he saw the same object. Breiland was interviewed extensively by former University of Victoria linguistics professor, Dr. P.M.H. Edwards. Edwards wrote a report that was published in the Vol. 27, No. 4, January 1982 Flying Saucer Review.When we left off, Breiland had just been confronted in the glass-doored vestibule of a shopping mall by two men dressed in extremely dark blue clothing. They were stiff and robotic, had tanned faces and lips the same color, no eyebrows, and “Eton crop” haircuts. He was scared by not only their non-human appearance, but also by the fact that there were suddenly no people to be seen anywhere, which was the case during the entire encounter. According to Edwards, they asked him what his name was, where he lived, what his phone number was, and he refused to answer. After staring at him for five seconds, they turned on their heels “as one man,” walked outside (it was raining), crossed the sidewalk to the road, went left, and walked in sync in a military fashion. Breiland followed them and watched as they walked onto a muddy, excavated field and then vanished before his eyes. He ran to the spot where they disappeared and saw they had left no footprints. Read more →

On this, our 301st Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss grief and mourning, and what makes us human. How many distinctly human traits will we prune away before we realize that we have gone too far, that there is too little remaining of humanity to be resurrected?

Hechos 20: 35, BPHEn 1776, el teólogo alemán J. G. Körner acuñó una nueva palabra para referirse a las declaraciones atribuidas a Jesús que no se encuentran en los cuatro Evangelios. Dicha palabra fue agrapha. El mejor ejemplo de una agrapha es justo el versículo de hoy. Pablo señala que Jesús dijo que: «Más dicha trae el dar que el recibir». Los cristianos a menudo citamos esta declaración para motivar a la generosidad, pero ¿de verdad me trae más dicha dar que recibir? A simple vista la respuesta es «no». Después de todo, ¿a quién no le gusta recibir regalos? Sin embargo, las investigaciones en el campo de la psicología le dan la razón al Maestro.Un estudio realizado por Jordan Grafman reveló que los centros de placer del cerebro muestran el mismo nivel de actividad cuando vemos a alguien donar dinero que cuando recibimos dinero nosotros mismos. De hecho, «dar dinero a otros aumenta la sensación de bienestar mucho más que cuando gastamos el dinero en nosotros mismos».* Elizabeth Dunn, de la Universidad de British Columbia, realizó un experimento en el que los participantes recibieron una suma de dinero. A la mitad se le dijo que gastara el dinero en ellos mismos; mientras que a la otra mitad se le dijo que gastara el dinero en otros. Al final del estudio, los participantes que gastaron el dinero en otros se sentían mucho más felices que los que usaron el dinero para su beneficio propio.  Otros estudios revelan que dar aumenta la felicidad independientemente de la edad, el país de procedencia o la situación económica del que da.Sentimos placer y felicidad al dar porque fuimos creados a imagen y semejanza de Dios (ver Génesis 1: 26), por eso que tenemos el potencial de ser tan generosos como Aquel que «abre generosamente su mano y sacia a todo ser viviente» (ver Salmos 145: 16, BPH). No importa cuánto dinero tengamos, sino lo que hagamos con él. Como bien dijo Russell James: «Al final, la ciencia del cerebro parece mostrarnos que dar dinero para beneficiar a otros es, después de todo, una cuestión de corazón».

King Charles' genocidal Canadian government has culled at least 330 beautiful and healthy Ostriches at a family farm in British Columbia. The family owned and raised the stoic birds, which can live up to 70 years, for more than 30 years. Yet they were murdered under the false pretense of 'bird flu'. This is UN Agenda 2023 and tyrannical government at its finest. Kim Bright joins me to discuss these atrocities as well as big parmacide vs. real health.

Episode 392: On the morning of June 28, 2022, as staff and customers began their day at the Bank of Montreal in Saanich, British Columbia, twin brothers Matthew and Isaac Auchterlonie entered the branch clad in body armour and carrying semi-automatic rifles. Within moments, they herded twenty-two people into the bank's vault and set the stage for one of the most violent confrontations in recent Canadian history. More than a hundred shots were fired in the chaos that followed, leaving six police officers injured and both brothers dead, with the community left reeling and seeking answers.
