What We Are Building Together May Theme: Fresh Vision (The Seer's Anointing) Declare Victory is more than a prayer call—it's a movement rooted in: Faith Community Discipleship Evangelism Service Freedom Outreach And more… We are committed to raising believers who are grounded, equipped, and empowered to walk boldly in their God-given authority. Since the beginning of the year, we have been on a journey together. In January, God ignited us with Fresh Fire—awakening passion and renewing our hunger for His presence.

In April, we were filled with Fresh Oil (Anointing)—empowered and equipped. Now in May, we are being given sight. Fresh Vision (The Seer's Anointing) is the ability to see what God is saying, discern what He is doing, and align our lives accordingly. This is not just seeing—it is perceiving. We are being graced to: • See beyond the natural • Discern the times and seasons • Receive divine strategy and direction • Align our steps with God's will • Walk with clarity and confidence ⸻ Proverbs 29:18 “Where there is no vision, the people perish…” Habakkuk 2:2 “Write the vision, and make it plain…” Ephesians 1:18 “…that the eyes of your understanding be enlightened…” ⸻ As we continue this journey, we are not walking blindly—we are moving with divine insight. God is sharpening our vision, refining our focus, and revealing His blueprint. ⸻

Sondra was a elementary school teacher and loved by her students but, at home she and her second husband loved to argue.   When asked how, at such a young age, did Jonathan have this wisdom and where-with-all about alternative therapies for healing his depression and suicidal tendencies,  he mentioned "seeing my very shy sister being hypnotized by my uncle, who was a hypnotist,  into thinking she was Mick Jagger."  That gave Jonathan great hope for alternative therapies and treatment.  "If I could control my mind, I might be able to reduce my suffering and eventually kind of create my own reality, in fact that has happened," continues Robinson. "If people had the right tools, they could be resilient and survive anything" says Robinson. Jonathan shares  stories of when he was on the Oprah Winfrey show in the 1990's.  My guest often reflex back to the significance of his tough years as an adolescent and how crucial those years were to his healing transformation. But he credits Oprah for her intuition and her ability to overcome the horrors of her childhood where "she was gang rapped  multiply time by the age of fourteen and had a still born child by 15. " She was able to maintain such a good focus, while being so famous is that the roots go  deep, that she really had to find something within herself, that helped guide her for the rest of her life," shares Jonathan.   Jonathan has a very funny story that he shares about his mother and how she eventually came around to appreciating his quest for inner peace and his passion for meditation. Jonathan says he got his curiosity for learning from his mother.  And he cherishes his memories of his mom teaching him how to read at three or four years old. Jonathan's podcast is called "Awareness Explorers"  https://www.awarenessexplorers.com/ where you can find many 10 minute best guided meditations from the Dali Lama and more respected healers. Go to the 'meditation' page. His first book "The Experience Of God" and now with the release of his fourteenth book, "The Enlightenment Project," Jonathan's advice is to "try anything and everything and see what you like and what brings you great peace, then use it. Another great piece of advise is  "what you resist persists," be in the moment and relax. Embrace the moment that you're in and embrace that peace." Jonathan's website: "EnlightenmentProject.net, https://www.theenlightenmentproject.net/ "Humility was a key ingredient to growth and if I ever did not feel that way or grateful for all the help I 'd been  given, then I knew I was going off track," is one more parting message from Jonathan.   https://findinghappiness.com/get-to-know-me/   "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Awareness Explorers episode 209: Neelam, Guest Explorer In this episode we talk to Neelam about her awakening with H.W.L. Poonja, known as Papaji, the role of trust in awakening, how the nervous system's capacity to be present is the "missing link" between a desire for truth and the ability to experience it, and how a true feeling of "okayness" enables us to rest in our true nature. •Includes a guided meditation leading us to the direct experience of presence by noticing the spaciousness that is already here and has always been here, thereby nurturing the growing capacity of the nervous system to rest in presence.

Past life regression can reveal far more than memories of previous incarnations. It can unlock deep healing, illuminate soul contracts, and explain the patterns that follow us across lifetimes. In this powerful episode of Soul Elevation, Kara Goodwin is joined by certified hypnotherapist and past life regression practitioner Jonathan Robinson for a wide-ranging conversation on the spiritual architecture of incarnation, soul groups, and the purpose of remembering who we have been. Jonathan shares remarkable client stories from his work in hypnotherapy, including emotional healing, resolution of fears and phobias, and insights into soul families who reincarnate together across lifetimes. Kara also shares a deeply personal past life memory that emerged somatically and synchronistically, opening the door to profound healing and energetic completion. Together, they explore: How past life regression works and what it feels like Why soul groups reincarnate together across lifetimes How unresolved trauma can carry through time and the body The healing potential of past life memories Birthmarks, fears, and emotional patterns linked to previous incarnations Earth and off-planet past lives Life between lives and higher self guidance Why imagination may be a gateway to memory, not fantasy Jonathan also discusses his upcoming app Journeys Into the Subconscious, designed to help people access healing, relaxation, and subconscious insight through guided hypnotherapy. ✨ Explore Kara's book Your Authentic Awakening, free meditations, summits, and upcoming experiences at https://www.karagoodwin.com If this conversation resonates, please like, comment, subscribe, and share.

What We Are Building Together March Theme: Fresh Commitment (Service) Declare Victory is more than a prayer call—it's a movement rooted in:  • Faith  • Community  • Discipleship  • Evangelism  • Service  • Freedom  • Outreach  • And more… We are committed to raising believers who are grounded, equipped, and ignited to serve God and people with love and power. Since the beginning of the year, we have been on a journey together. In January, God stirred our hearts with Fresh Fire—rekindling passion, renewing our faith, and reminding us of the power of His presence. In February, we experienced Fresh Wind—the breath of God moving among us, expanding our faith and reminding us that He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we could ask or imagine. Now in March, we respond. Fresh Commitment is our “yes” to what God has ignited and breathed into us. It is the decision to move beyond inspiration into action—serving God and one another with diligence, humility, and love. Romans 12:11 “Not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.” As the fire of God ignites our hearts and the wind of His Spirit empowers us, we answer with faithful service—committed to living out our faith every day.

Awareness Explorers episode 207: Tani Thole and Leslie Rogers, Guest Explorers In this episode we talk to Tani Thole and Leslie Rogers, founders of the Light Dark Institute, about their philosophy of integrating shadow work for spiritual growth, by bringing love to the most unloved parts of the self, which are the source of internal and external conflict. • Includes a guided meditation from Tani inviting you to explore some part of yourself that you struggle with or reject, to notice the drain on your life force as a result of rejecting this part, and to bring appreciation and gratitude for how this part is actually watching out for you. Tani Thole and Leslie Rogers are the founders of the Light Dark Institute, devoted to helping people fall in love with the parts of themselves and the world that they've most rejected. Their work weaves shadow exploration, embodied power play, and bold encounters with the raw, untamed places we usually turn away from. Known for making even the most challenging inner terrain feel safe and accessible, they support leaders and seekers alike to meet the darkness with love — and to live, lead, and relate from a place of wholeness.  To learn more about Tani Thole, Leslie Rogers, and the Light Dark Institute, please visit:  https://www.lightdarkinstitute.com/ Awareness Explorers listeners can receive $100 off Tani and Leslie's "Playing With Darketypes" 9-week online course that starts on March 30, 2026.

Every now and then, we like to strip away the guest interviews, the expert teachings, and the deep dives, and just have an honest, unscripted conversation. In this bonus episode, Will and Karen sit down together (with no plan at all!) to reflect on how their own spiritual journeys have shifted after hundreds of interviews on The Skeptic Metaphysicians. What starts as a meandering chat quickly becomes a heartfelt exploration of how little “coincidences” might actually be miracles in disguise, and how simply reframing the way we see the world can unlock more joy, meaning, and connection. What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy Karen now sees “coincidences” as miracles, and how that small shift has transformed her daily outlook.Will playing devil's advocate: is it really a miracle, or are we just assigning meaning where there is none?Stories of flat tires, angel numbers, and unexpected signs from loved ones who've passed.A powerful lesson from Jonathan Robinson's “world's best mantra” (spoiler: it's just two simple words).How gratitude and miracles feed into each other to create a cycle of upliftment.A practical challenge for you: spotting the “miracles” in your own everyday life.Key TakeawaysPerspective changes everything. Viewing synchronicities as miracles instead of accidents can shift your vibration instantly.Gratitude is the ultimate mantra. Saying “thank you” consistently for even the smallest things deepens your spiritual awareness.Spiritual practice doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes it's just about noticing what's already around you.Your experience is your teacher. Whether it's a flat tire, a blue jay in winter, or a bright blue Tesla, the universe is always speaking...if you're open to noticing.Your “Miracle Challenge” We invite you to carry a small notebook (or just keep mental notes) and jot down the little miracles you notice each day. Whether it's seeing a repeating number, receiving a text at just the right time, or spotting a bird you asked to see, train your awareness to spot the magic woven into your everyday life. If you enjoyed this unscripted conversation, let us know! We'd love to create more of these intimate bonus episodes where we reflect, laugh, and explore the spiritual path right alongside you. Because sometimes… the miracles aren't in the interviews...they're in the everyday moments we live.Subscribe, Rate & Review!

In this episode we explore the concepts of the inward and outward facing paths. They are presented as different approaches in various traditions that, if pursued to their core, eventually arrive at a direct experience of a unified life. • Includes a guided meditation that extends the ancient neti neti practice of excluding all concepts of what you conceive yourself to be, and then re-including all so-called outer experience, thereby seeing that all is awareness and not separate from your true self. Short phrases to help you get a handle on the inward and outward facing paths:      Nothing you can name or conceive of is awareness. Nothing you could name or conceive of is not awareness.      Meditating with your eyes closed and looking within at awareness, and meditating with your eyes open and looking at the world as awareness.      “Wisdom tells me I am nothing. Love tells me I am everything. And between the two my life flows.” ― Nisargadatta Maharaj The song Jonathan mentioned in this episode is “Impermanence” by John Astin:  https://music.apple.com/us/song/impermanence/72793994 Don't forget to subscribe for more ingenious ways to tap into the ever-present stillness and joy of our true nature.
