#379 In this podcast episode, Guy welcomed Geoffrey Hoppe, a multidimensional communications researcher known for his unique journey from aviation business to channelling entities like Tobias and St. Germain. The conversation explored themes such as spiritual awakening, the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in human consciousness, and the concept of global consciousness splitting. Geoffrey shared his personal experiences and insights into the evolving relationship between technology and spirituality, highlighting the transformative potential of AI in accelerating human enlightenment and fostering deep metaphysical connections. About Geoffrey: The early spiritual curiosity of a young man was all but forgotten as he served a few years in the US Army as a Public Information Specialist at the NASA Ames Research Center (Mountain View, California), and then stepped into the business world. After finding his way to senior management positions in several advertising agencies, Geoffrey started his own marketing company in Dallas, Texas at the ripe old age of 28. Later on, he co-founded an aviation telecommunications company (provider of Internet services for business jets and commercial airlines, now known as Gogo), serving as Vice President of Sales and Marketing until 2001. In a stroke of ironic prescience, Geoffrey holds three patents for multidimensional telecommunications technologies, as well as numerous trademarks and copyrights.

What happens to America’s health when Washington grinds to a halt? In this episode of The Health Advocates, we break down the latest federal government shutdown and what it means for public health agencies across the country. We explain what a shutdown actually is, drawing from past shutdowns over the last 30 years, and then dive into the immediate and long-term impacts on the CDC, FDA, NIH, and other agencies that millions of people depend on for research, vaccines, food safety, and emergency response. We also look at the political stalemate behind the shutdown, focusing on Democrats’ push to restore pending cuts to Affordable Care Act subsidies and what those cuts could mean for healthcare costs. Finally, we explore whether there’s a realistic path to resolution soon—and what’s at stake for patients and the healthcare system if Congress fails to act.

#378 In this powerful episode, Guy welcomed back Cailin Callaghan to discuss overcoming anxiety, the significance of lucidity in the world, and mastering self-talk. Cailin shared her journey through near-death experiences, overcoming sexual assault trauma, and the grueling withdrawal from medications. She emphasized the transformative power of attention, perception, and taking control of the mind. The conversation covered practical steps to relieve anxiety, the importance of forgiving for personal peace, and how to listen to inner guides. This episode is filled with deep insights on achieving inner peace and manifesting a better reality. About Cailin: At the age of twenty in 1978, I made a trip to the Lustrous Vast of Quantum Imminence where I was met by the guide whom I had, five years before, dismissed as merely the imaginary friend of my childhood. He, The Daemon Michael, is the source Consciousness from which I spring into this world venue, and he and I operate in a few other venues together as well while my body is sleeping here in Earth Venue.  When I met him in the Lustrous Vast, T. D. Michael gave me a life review and a revelation of what Humanity is doing that is destroying their happiness and preventing access to all the powers of their “godly estate.” Empowered by this revelation, and inspired by the Divine Love I became while in the Lustrous Vast, I wielded my Will to literally raise my body from the dead. (It's not hard to do when you know what you are and what the Earth is.) My body had died from head trauma when a stallion had kicked me in the face, knocking me from the back of the running mare I'd been astride, chasing that stallion. My body lay in a pasture with my friend running towards it. As she stood over my still form, thinking I was dead and wondering what to do since we were so isolated, I, like a gusting whirlwind of Will, reinhabited my form, and the body's eyes popped open.  I started right away trying to deliver to the world the Liberating Perspective The Daemon Michael had given me, but it was 1978, and the world was not acquainted yet, in large, with the Quantum principles I/We had to offer.

In this episode, Guy welcomed Karen Cheong, an energy healer who brilliantly broke down the complexities of our energy bodies and how trauma affects them. Karen emphasized that one cannot force an awakening on others as it is a personal journey, highlighting the importance of self-awareness and releasing unconscious blocks. The conversation dived deep into understanding the concept of awakening, the role of distortions in our lives, and how transcending these distortions can lead to profound shifts in both spiritual and physical realms. Karen also shed light on the significance of embracing our true infinite selves, and the collective shift in consciousness happening in the world today. About Karen: Karen Cheong is an international transformational speaker, writer, champion for self empowerment, and healer who has worked with thousands of people worldwide. After a health crisis in her early 20s catalysed her spiritual journey, she was driven by curiosity to explore the mystical and energetic systems that govern our experience—of ourselves, of others, and of life itself.  For over 25 years she integrated and applied deep inner work and learnings from some of the top names in the personal development space, as well as some of the more “out there” spiritual teachers, to a successful real estate business in San Francisco, California.  Despite the outward appearance of success, though, she still felt like something was missing—and that is when what she refers to as “frequency work” discovered her. By intensively releasing unconscious blocks she calls distortion patterns, she transformed not only the way her life looked, but the way her life felt. Momentum really started kicking in, and life became so much richer, so much fuller, and so much more expansive. During a life-changing 9 hour meditation she experienced a complete ego-death, fully merging back into the Oneness, where everything is inextricably interconnected. Ever since that pivotal experience, she has been able to perceive and make change at “frequency level,” the level of vibration that's like the blueprint that underlies our reality.

In this episode, Guy talked with Michael Sandler and they explored the profound journey of embracing one's mystic nature by overcoming fears and following the pulls of the heart. Michael shared his experiences about the importance of surrender, the lessons learned from his spiritual practices, and the joys and challenges of being an empath. The conversation covered topics like balancing spiritual insights with daily life, maintaining personal boundaries, and practicing gratitude and love. They also discussed the impact of life experiences, such as becoming a parent and navigating professional pivots, on spiritual growth and authenticity. Michael invited listeners to join his School of Mystics for a transformative journey in expanding their consciousness and living authentically. About Michael: Michael Sandler is the co-host of the popular Inspire Nation Show, a transformational, self-help, spiritually focused podcast and YouTube channel, along with his wife, fellow coach, and teacher, Jessica Lee. He is a best-selling author, speaker, entrepreneur, visionary, coach, and the co-creator of Inspire Nation University and the Automatic Writing Experience online course. Having been a world-class athlete and coach, competing at the international level in cycling, along with being a competitive speed skater, Ironman triathlete, and runner, Michael has applied those same training skills to being a life coach to teachers, leaders, and visionaries. He is a life-long meditation practitioner and meditation teacher. Two near-death accidents led to the conception of the Inspire Nation show, the creation of the Automatic Writing Experience, and the writing of this book. These devastating accidents led Michael to a much deeper understanding about the world, of Spirit, and of our connection to something greater than ourselves. He calls this “getting the big picture” and from that this book emerged. Once driven purely by performance and results as an endurance athlete, Michael survived the near-fatal accidents that cracked his heart open and helped him discover a kinder, gentler way of moving through life, one that arguably makes an even greater impact on others and the planet. That's what he calls being an open-hearted warrior, and to his mission to elevate consciousness, shift humanity, and help people truly discover their greatest self. Despite twin titanium femurs and hips, as a result of the accidents, he continues to run, skate, bike, and play in the mountains or explore the world with Jessica, their daughter Hana, three kitty cats, along with Roo Roo the Wonder Rooster, always in prayer, always connected to Spirit.

In this episode of The Health Advocates, we unpack a turbulent week in public health. The CDC’s Vaccine Advisory Committee (ACIP), now reshaped under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., met to debate changes to the COVID-19, MMRV, and Hepatitis B vaccine recommendations. Despite heated rhetoric and process irregularities, the committee ultimately kept broad access to COVID-19 vaccines — a short-term win for patients and a reminder that advocacy pressure works.We also break down President Trump’s recent claims linking Tylenol use during pregnancy to autism, and his renewed suggestion of a connection between vaccines and autism. We review what the science actually shows, what public health experts are warning about, and what patients and families should know moving forward.Tune in for clarity on a confusing week — and why these debates matter for access, trust, and the future of public health.

David Hulse, an ex-minister with profound insights into spirituality and energy work, shared his journey and how he transitioned from traditional religious teachings to exploring quantum physics and vibration healing. The conversation touched upon the human body's connection to universal energy, the significance of tuning forks in energetic healing, and the concept of transitioning from 3D to 5D consciousness.

In this episode, Guy welcomed back Reverend Bill McDonald. He shared his profound insights on the power of love, spiritual healing, and maintaining a high frequency to influence positive change in the world. He discussed the importance of focusing on love and light, even amidst global turmoil, and the transformative potential of self-love and meditation. Reverend Bill reflected on his personal experiences with healing, recounted stories from his spiritual journey, and emphasized the significance of living authentically and spreading positivity. This enlightening conversation aims to inspire listeners to embrace their inner potential and contribute to global well-being. About Rev. Bill: Rev. Bill's life has been a spiritual journey, spanning slightly over 7 decades. His whole life has been a mystical trip in search of gurus, the paranormal, and self-discovery. He has written about his many spiritually transforming experiences and “near-death experiences” including supernatural events during his combat tour-of-duty in the Vietnam War.  In his books he has shared some incredible spiritual events that are beyond both common understanding or explanation. His autobiography “Warrior A Spiritual Odyssey” takes us on a life quest for love, understanding, forgiveness and enlightenment. His follow-up book (Publishing date 2017) “Alchemy of a Warrior's Heart “continues that mystical journey including four trips to India for even more profound experiences with holy men, miracles and his personal relationship with the Divine. His books are also available in German and Spanish. What he knows for sure, after all these years, is that the only thing that is truly real is LOVE.  He speaks publicly about the need to forgive and power and energy of love. His mission in life is to inspire others to seek the Divine and he does that though his personal stories of his own life experiences.  He is a seeker but not just for himself. His “mission” is to allow others to experience his journey through his stories. He has had 3 near-death and near-death-like- experiences and many countless encounters with the supernatural. His beliefs are simple: There is but ONE GOD – and our only mission is to LOVE & SERVE ALL. Key Points Discussed:  (00:00) - Rev.

In this episode, Guy talked with Anjie Hipple, a YouTuber, content creator, and psychic medium, the interconnected nature of higher self-awareness and spiritual enlightenment. Anjie shared her journey from religious upbringing to becoming a channeler for a collective of 350,000 angels known as Judah. She shared insights on connecting with the higher self, overcoming past life karma, and understanding enlightenment. They discussed the process of channeling and the role of personal experiences and hardships in achieving a higher state of consciousness. About Anjie: Anjie Hipple of the Judah Channel is a passionate seeker, spiritual teacher and channeler of angels and other interstellar wisdom keepers. Some years ago, in a desperate attempt to ease her inner suffering, Anjie embarked on an accelerated journey to heal her mind, body and emotions and elevate her personal level of consciousness. Voraciously consuming the teachings of enlightened masters, she began deconstructing her deep religious programming and dreaming about the possibilities of enlightenment.  During this season of meditation, ego stripping, and deep surrender, Anjie was suddenly and unexpectedly ambushed by a loving and powerful collective of angels called Judah, who spoke through her in a dramatic direct-voice channeling encounter. Judah's high vibrational energies resulted in an immediate physical restoration of her two-year chronic illness and an opening of psychic gifts.  Anjie also began experiencing ecstatic states of bliss and swimming in high-consciousness fields as a result. She and her partner Chuck were profoundly impacted by their nightly visits with Judah, who soon brought more cosmic friends to the parties. They lovingly refer to Judah as the “Oprah of the Cosmos!” Key Points Discussed:  (00:00) - Psychic Medium REVEALS Why Millions Are About to Awaken Into Enlightenment!

In this episode, Guy Lawrence interviews Greg Doyle, an expert in astral travel and energy healing. Greg shares his insights on the nature of astral experiences, comparing them to our 3D reality and emphasizing the importance of recognizing our perfect essence. The conversation covers how the mainstream mirrors a conditioned reality and discusses Greg's journey from a classical musician to an astral traveler and energy healer. They delve into common reactions to his work, the intricacies of astral workshops, and the impact of these experiences on personal growth and understanding of death. Greg also touches on the humorous and guiding aspects of astral experiences, his thoughts on the karmic machinery of human life, and the potential for anyone to access astral travel through meditation and relaxation techniques. Finally, they discuss Greg's plans for the future and his advice on living an authentic life. This episode is a thought-provoking exploration of spirituality, consciousness, and the human experience. About Greg: Greg Doyle Greg Doyle is an Astral traveler, energy healer, author, and speaker. His interest and expertise in the mind/body/spirit connection, particularly in the areas of energy healing, meditation and the Out-of-Body-Experience (or astral travel/projection), has seen him help many people around the world move forward through their pain and obstacles and connect more fully with their joy and potential. As a trained classical musician, Greg discovered the benefits of meditation in his early twenties to help combat the stress of stage fright, recognizing the greater aspect of self in the process. In his late thirties, he began to leave his physical body spontaneously, and so began a guided process of consciousness expansion that would not only divert his career, but would also alter his very perception of being. Greg also teaches Reiki and meditation and has recently begun helping people awaken the dormant sense of astral projection that lies within them, using the energetic tools that he has developed over the past decade. He believes that astral awareness is a particularly valuable tool for spiritual expansion, as it is by its very nature fully experiential.

Perimenopause brings a lot of changes but there is good news!

You have options, and this episode will help you understand them.   Jill Chmielewski, RN, BSN Jill Chmielewski, RN, BSN, is a Registered Nurse, Health Coach, Menopause Educator, and Women's Health Advocate with over 30 years of experience in healthcare. She is a bold voice in the midlife health movement, calling out the outdated belief that it's all downhill after 40—and replacing it with something far more powerful: the truth that a woman's next chapter can be her strongest, healthiest, and most vibrant yet. Jill holds a Master of Jurisprudence in Health Law and is a certified health coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN). She has completed advanced training through the School of Applied Functional Medicine and the Institute of Bioidentical Medicine, with deep expertise in menopause, hormones, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). As Education Lead at Respin Health, founded by Halle Berry, Jill combines science-based education with deep compassion and clinical insight, helping women understand their bodies, advocate for their health, and make informed, confident decisions. Her work is rooted in the belief that decline is not inevitable—it's simply what happens when we fail to adapt to our bodies' needs in midlife and as we age. Jill is the co-creator of two personalized Menopause Health & Hormone Optimization programs, the creator of The Beginner's Guide to Hormone Replacement Therapy, and a trusted clinician known for making complex topics clear, approachable, and actionable. Most recently, Jill was featured in the groundbreaking menopause docuseries "Four Days," created by filmmaker Charles Mattocks and a passionate team of experts and women willing to share their stories. The series was born from a quiet question: What if we finally changed the conversation, and turned into a movement? Because the silence around menopause has gone on too long. And because women deserve to be seen, heard, and supported in this next chapter of life. The docuseries is expected to air in late fall 2025.  Jill's Links:  Website Instagram Respin Health HRT Telehealth Programs for women in the following states: California, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Arizona, Illinois, and Ohio   Watch on Youtube HERE.   Mentioned in this episode: HRT Made Simple™ - Learn how to confidently speak to your doctor about the benefits of hormone replacement therapy so you can set yourself up for symptom-free, unmedicated years to come without feeling confused, dismissed, or leaving the medical office minus your HRT script.

In this episode, Guy talked with  Dr. Bruce Greyson, a retired psychiatrist and an author. He discussed the transformative effects of near-death experiences (NDEs). He explained how NDEs profoundly change people's lives, making them more compassionate and less materialistic. Dr. Greyson shared compelling stories, including that of a Marine whose NDE made him unable to continue his military duties. He highlighted the growing recognition of NDEs in the medical community and the need for further research. The episode also delved into Dr. Greyson's personal journey, the scientific challenges in studying NDEs, and the universal message of interconnectedness and compassion. About Bruce: Dr. Bruce Greyson is the Chester Carlson Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia.  He was previously on the medical faculty at the University of Michigan and the University of Connecticut, where he was Clinical Chief of Psychiatry. Dr. Greyson has consulted with the National Institutes of Health and addressed symposia on consciousness at the United Nations and at the Dalai Lama's compound in Dharamsala, India. Dr. Greyson's interest in near-death experiences began just a few months after graduating from medical school, when he treated an unconscious patient in the emergency room who stunned him the next morning with an account of leaving her body. That event challenged his beliefs about the mind and the brain, and ultimately led him on a journey to study near-death experiences scientifically, leading to more than a hundred publications in medical journals.  He co-founded the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS), an organization to support and promote research into these experiences, and for 27 years edited the Journal of Near-Death Studies, the only scholarly journal dedicated to near-death research. Through his research, he has discovered common and universal themes in near-death experiences that go beyond neurophysiological or cultural interpretations, as well as patterns of consistent aftereffects on individuals' attitudes, beliefs, values, and personalities.

A leaked draft of the Trump administration’s Make Our Children Healthy Again plan reveals a strategy to improve kids’ health that’s far less sweeping than many expected. Instead of bold action on processed foods and pesticides, the draft emphasizes “awareness” campaigns and industry-friendly guidelines, while reopening old battles over vaccines, fluoride, and even WiFi.In this episode of The Health Advocates, Steven unpacks what’s actually in the leaked report, what’s missing, and why these proposals could reshape public health for children across the country. From school nutrition to pesticide regulation to vaccine safety, we break down what the draft means for families, industry, and the future of U.S. health policy.

What exactly are reconciliation and rescission—and why do they matter for your health? In this episode, Steven Newmark, Chief Policy Officer at GHLF, demystifies two powerful — and often misunderstood — budget tools: reconciliation and rescission. What do they mean?

In this episode, the host republished an interview with guest Robbie Holz to highlight an important discussion about the secrets of Aboriginal healing. Robbie delves into her late husband Gary's transformative journey into the Australian Outback, where he sought healing from multiple sclerosis through Aboriginal spiritual practices. She shares how the Aboriginal philosophy intertwines the body, mind, and spirit for holistic healing. Robbie also recounts her own healing experiences and the profound lessons learned from the Aboriginal people she met. Together, they explore emotional and spiritual alignment, highlighting the significance of letting go of negative emotions and embracing higher frequencies of love. The episode also touches on the role of guardian angels, the power of willingness, and the importance of self-love in one's healing journey. About Robbie: Robbie Holz is an internationally respected healer and medium, frequent media guest and an author of the award-winning books read in 43 countries: "Secrets of Aboriginal Healing" and "Aboriginal Secrets of Awakening." Robbie's life was drastically altered in 1985. After a difficult 36-hour delivery, while giving birth to her child, Robbie was given a blood transfusion to "perk her up faster".  Unfortunately the transfusion was tainted with Hepatitis C, a disease often referred to as the silent killer. Like a Trojan horse, the virus hid in her body--until it confidently and openly declared war seven years later. Robbie was in for the fight, and spiritual awakening, of her life. Due to her reaction to the experimental Hepatitis treatment, Robbie developed fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, temporary brain damage, and became bedridden for 7 months. Since Western medicine was no longer able to help her, Robbie set out to find alternative ways to survive and recover. She ultimately healed herself of Hepatitis C, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and treatment-induced temporary brain damage, described in her award-winning memoir Aboriginal Secrets of Awakening. Her latest book is "Angels in Waiting: How to Reach Out to Your Guardian Angels and Spirit Guides." The companion guidebook is "Vibrant Living: Braving the Pandemic with Help from Your Guardian Angel."

Campbell is the author of Tom's Park and the My Big TOE trilogy that “unifies science and philosophy, physics and metaphysics, mind and matter, purpose and meaning, the normal and the paranormal”. The attributes assigned by some theologians to their concept of God are very similar to the attributes of the LCS, the larger consciousness system as scientifically derived by Tom.  Tom has said for over a decade that the next big cultural and scientific paradigm shift is virtual reality. Virtual reality is now a more widely accepted concept in science and technology. Tom combines a fundamental understanding of consciousness and virtual reality to back up this prediction with a logically and scientifically derived My Big TOE theory.  This theory explains most of the remaining big questions in both physics and metaphysics”. Tom's model of Consciousness derives Quantum Mechanics and Relativity, eliminates quantum weirdness, and builds a scientific foundation under much of what was previously deemed “paranormal”.  This comprehensive, logical, and scientific explanation of both objective and subjective reality perfectly defines a Big TOE. A former NASA physicist, Tom worked as a large complex systems analyst by day and collected evidential information in the larger consciousness system by night.  Tom delivers information through his unique abilities and experience that you will not find anywhere else.
