If you're curious about detox, energy healing, or quantum-based wellness—but immediately skeptical when someone says “just carry a bottle”—you're not alone. This episode sits squarely in that tension: genuine curiosity vs. rational resistance. And instead of asking you to believe anything, it asks a better question: what framework are these claims actually operating within? Episode Overview Recorded live at SpiritFest USA in Virginia Beach, this conversation features Dr. Sue Whitaker of Broad Spectrum Detox, who explains her individualized detox approach rooted in frequency, quantum entanglement, and non-invasive scanning technology. Will and Karen explore how her system is described to work—from identifying environmental toxins to remotely “programming” a personalized bottle using frequency data—while maintaining clear boundaries around diagnosis, cure claims, and medical authority. The result is a grounded conversation that lets listeners evaluate the ideas without pressure to accept them. Key Insights & TakeawaysDetox as a framing, not a miracle Dr. Whitaker positions detoxification as foundational—suggesting that when environmental toxins are addressed, other issues may improve indirectly, rather than claiming a single solution cures everything. Frequency-based wellness explained (not proven) The system described uses frequencies associated with supplements, herbs, and nutrients, embedded into a physical object via scanning and programming—an idea rooted in metaphysics and quantum theory rather than conventional medicine. Quantum entanglement as a working metaphor “Entanglement” is used here to explain how individualized bottles are said to remain linked to a specific person without interference from others—an interpretive application of a physics concept, not a laboratory claim. Clear boundaries around diagnosis Dr. Whitaker repeatedly emphasizes that her work does not diagnose or medically cure conditions, positioning it instead within modern spirituality and complementary wellness conversations. Why people find this compelling For many, the appeal lies less in scientific validation and more in simplicity, non-invasiveness, and the broader intuition that the body has innate self-regulating capacity. Why This Conversation Is Different This episode avoids the usual spiritual clichés by:Not demanding belief or complianceExplicitly acknowledging skepticismSeparating personal experience from universal truthRefraining from “instant healing” promises or spiritual bypassingInstead of selling certainty, it invites examination—allowing listeners to decide what feels plausible, symbolic, or simply not for them. Listener Reassurance Questioning does not make you closed-minded. Curiosity does not make you gullible. This conversation models what modern spirituality can look like when it coexists with discernment, humor, and healthy doubt—especially in discussions around energy healing, metaphysics, and consciousness.Call to Action Listen with your curiosity turned up and your critical thinking intact. If this episode sparks questions—about detox, intuition, frequency, or how we evaluate unconventional wellness claims—join the conversation and share what resonated… or what didn't. That tension is where the real exploration begins.The Skeptic Metaphysicians is a pragmatic spirituality podcast for curious minds exploring the unknown without abandoning critical thinking. Each episode breaks down metaphysics explained through grounded conversation, examining hidden truths behind spiritual awakening, consciousness expansion, and expanded consciousness. We explore intuition, mediumship, spirit guides, and the mechanics of healing and personal transformation—bridging skeptical inquiry with meaningful spiritual experience. If you're navigating your own awakening or questioning reality while staying intellectually honest, this podcast is for seekers and skeptics alike.Subscribe, Rate & Review!If you found this episode enlightening, mind-expanding, or even just thought-provoking (see what we did there?), please take a moment to rate and review us.

In this illuminating episode of First Contact, host Eesha Patel welcomes Lisa Puzio Strickland, PhD, a speaker, researcher, and expert in UAPs and non-human intelligences. Holding a doctorate in philosophy with an emphasis in parapsychology from the University of Metaphysics in Sedona, Arizona, Lisa brings a rare blend of academic rigor and personal intuitive experience to the conversation. Her dissertation explored how the acknowledgment of UAP and non-human intelligence — and the disclosure itself — will benefit humanity psychologically, philosophically, and spiritually. Lisa's journey into this field began in childhood, growing up in Los Angeles with precognitive dreams and intuitive experiences that both fascinated and frightened her. After a successful career in radio and television, she turned her focus inward, deep-diving into quantum physics, Heart Math Institute research, and the science of consciousness — before recognising the profound overlap between parapsychology and the UAP/NHI phenomenon. Today, she is a board member of several UAP organisations and a sought-after speaker at major conferences, including Contact in the Desert. Episode Breakdown with Timestamps: [00:00:03] – Introduction: Eesha introduces Lisa Puzio Strickland and her background in parapsychology and UAP/NHI research. [00:01:00] – Lisa's Origin Story: Growing up in Los Angeles with early precognitive dreams and intuitive experiences, navigating a conservative Baptist upbringing. [00:07:23] – Personal Experiences and the Power of Intuition: Stories of intuition saving Lisa from harm, including a mysterious woman at an airport and a car incident, and what these moments reveal about our conscious connection to the universe. [00:11:15] – Filters of Consciousness: How belief systems shape what we perceive, from orbs seen as angels to UAP craft dismissed entirely due to inattentional blindness. [00:22:11] – UAP Sightings and Personal Contact: Lisa shares her first sighting — a moving orb-like light in the night sky — and Eesha shares how her own contact began through meditation and telepathy. [00:25:54] – Types of Non-Human Intelligence: An overview of the paranormal-UAP overlap, psionics, and the four main NHI types acknowledged by government and military insiders. [00:32:08] – They've Always Been Here: A look at the deep historical presence of non-human intelligence across civilisations, and why they may have been deliberately mislabelled throughout history. [00:35:40] – The Impact of Disclosure: How UAP disclosure will transform science, metaphysics, and personal belief systems — and why humanity must remain open to radically new truths. [00:40:18] – Where to Find Lisa: Lisa shares her website, social media, upcoming projects, and UAP communities she recommends for those wanting to go deeper.

This is a deep conversation about reality, consciousness, perspective, Gnosis, religion, culture, society, and much more.Gabriel D. Roberts is a theological scholar, researcher and public speaker that specializes in discussions about the nature of perception and belief. After 27 years of passionate searching and study, Gabriel stepped away from his long held Christian faith into a more expansive and fluid worldview. The details and reasons are catalogued in his book, Born Again To Rebirth. Like many others who have had an earnest thirst for the answers to the big questions of life, Gabriel was not satisfied to settle for not knowing more. His latest book, The Quest For Gnosis explores the roots of belief, the power of the ecstatic state in one's spiritual life and the means by which a deeply satisfying spiritual life may be achieved outside of the bonds of dogma. Within The Quest For Gnosis, Gabriel interviews 20 of the brightest minds in this field of study, including Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, Graham Hancock, Daniele Bolelli, Peter J. Carroll, Hamilton Morris, Dr. Aaron Cheak, David Metcalfe, Dr. Rick Strassman and many more.Gabriel also writes for VICE Magazine, Disinfo.com and Realitysandwich.com and is the author of three books.

In this episode of The Lectern, John Vervaeke sits down with Zevi Slavin to explore the radical metaphysics of Ibn Gabirol and the role of divine desire at the heart of reality. Ibn Gabirol, also known as Avicebron, was a major figure in Jewish Neoplatonism whose philosophy reshaped medieval thought across traditions. His view that matter and form seek each other through divine desire challenges mechanical models of existence and reintroduces relational depth into metaphysics. John and Zevi examine how Gabirol's ideas intersect with Jewish mysticism, medieval philosophy, and contemporary discussions about consciousness and meaning. They explore the tension between universal truth and particular tradition, and whether unity requires sameness or whether difference itself can be sacred. This conversation invites listeners to reconsider whether reality itself is structured by longing, participation, and sacred relationship.

https://www.the-christ.net/blog/the-way-of-the-mysticIn this final Q&A session of "The Way of the Mystic" online weekend revival, David Hoffmeister illuminates the path from fear and separation to the profound peace of the Holy Spirit. David explores how the mind often finds itself trapped in an "attraction to guilt," seeking happiness in shifting human forms that inevitably lead to suffering and a sense of lack. He emphasizes that the world we perceive is merely a projection of internal conflict and that all apparent sickness—physical or emotional—is a mental confusion of levels.The session focuses on the transformative realization that purpose is the only choice. While the ego presents a fragmented script filled with limited outcomes and personal preferences, the Holy Spirit offers a single, unifying purpose: the awakening of the mind. Drawing metaphors from a cinematic journey through an apocalyptic wasteland, David illustrates how we can use the very images the ego made for isolation as opportunities for holy encounters and divine connection. By surrendering the need to control the "form" of our lives and instead committing to the Spirit's purpose, we transcend the belief in sacrifice and step into the abundance of the present moment.These gatherings take place every weekend in February and March 2026 and include teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.Register for the Way of the Mystic for free here: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mysticIf you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded February 15, 2026Follow us on:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles: https://livingmiraclescenter.orgLearn more about A Course in Miracles: https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish Youtube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWw

We're joined by Rosi Braidotti, Distinguished University Professor Emerita at Utrecht University and founding director of the Centre for the Humanities, for a wide-ranging conversation on posthumanism as both a philosophical project and a political orientation.Braidotti's work has constructed one of the most sustained and consequential accounts of what comes after the collapse of Eurocentric 'humanism.' The conversation traces the long arc from her early intervention on nomadic subjectivity, a materialist corrective to postmodernism's drift into linguistic relativism, through the ethical and ontological turn that her posthumanist project represents. Where poststructuralism gave us the critique of the subject as origin, nomadism gave us a subject that is grounded, embodied, multiple, and in motion.Central to the episode is the missing link in the American reception of French theory: the radical materialist tradition of Deleuze and Guattari, which diagnosed capitalism's schizophrenic logic (its ability to deterritorialize and adapt faster than any opposition) long before it became common sense. Braidotti traces the suppression of that critique through the French Communist Party's blacklists, the invention of "French theory" as an exportable product stripped of its political economy, and the consequences for a left that lost the ability to think technogenesis, cognitive capitalism, or the mutation of subjectivity under media saturation.The conversation then turns to fascism as concept rather than historical event: the philosophical move that Deleuze and Guattari made and that Foucault named in his preface to Anti-Oedipus. This allows Braidotti to connect micro-fascism (the cult of negativity, the eroticization of power-as-humiliation, the viral spread of impotence) to the coherent neo-fascist philosophical tradition running from Alain de Benoit through the Heritage Foundation and Budapest to Peter Thiel's Yale dissertation on sacrifice. While the left blocked its own analytical capacities, the right was doing serious philosophical work.Against all of this, Bradiotti proposes affirmative ethics: a Spinozist praxis of activating what a body can do. The episode ends thinking through scale, how affirmative ethics operates from the city to the planetary, and the urgency of the European federalist project as the only existing institutional attempt to participate in decisions about what we could possibly become.Some references:Rosi BraidottiPatterns of Dissonance, Polity Press, 1991Nomadic Subjects: Embodiment and Sexual Difference in Contemporary Feminist Theory, Columbia University Press, 1994Metamorphoses: Towards a Materialist Theory of Becoming, Polity Press, 2002Transpositions: On Nomadic Ethics, Polity Press, 2006The Posthuman, Polity Press, 2013Gilles Deleuze & Félix GuattariAnti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, 1972 (English trans. 1977, preface by Michel Foucault)A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, 1980Félix GuattariThe Three Ecologies, 1989 (English trans. 1991)Michel FoucaultPreface to the American edition of Anti-Oedipus, 1977SpinozaEthicsTheological-Political TreatiseAntonio NegriThe Savage Anomaly: The Power of Spinoza's Metaphysics and Politics, 1981Genevieve LloydPart of Nature: Self-Knowledge in Spinoza's Ethics, University of Minnesota Press, 1994Spinoza and the Ethics, Routledge, 1996Antonio DamasioDescartes' Error: Emotion, Reason, and the Human Brain, 1994Looking for Spinoza: Joy, Sorrow, and the Feeling Brain, 2003Simone de BeauvoirThe Second Sex, 1949Frantz Fanon — mentioned in relation to decolonial thought and the anti-fascist generation Herbert MarcuseOne-Dimensional Man, 1964Eros and Civilization, 1955Rosa Luxemburg — cited as an ecological thinker; the dialogue with Lenin in Zurich narrated by Isaiah Berlin Isaiah Berlin — on Spinoza and radical enlightenment; on Rosa LuxemburgAltiero SpinelliThe Ventotene Manifesto, 1941 — founding document of the European federalist projectDonna Haraway"A Cyborg Manifesto," 1985VNS Matrix"A Cyberfeminist Manifesto for the 21st Century," 1991Alain de Benoist — neo-fascist philosopher, intellectual architect of the European New Right; cited as formative influence on Steve Bannon and the Heritage Foundation / Budapest / Rome foundation networksJulius Evola — philosopher of Italian fascism; cited alongside de Benoist as daily reference for BannonPeter Thiel — PhD dissertation on René Girard and the concept of sacrifice, Stanford / Yale; position papers on technological selection and extinction
https://www.the-christ.net/blog/the-way-of-the-mysticEn esta profunda y divertida sesión de «El camino del místico» del 14 de febrero de 2026, David Hoffmeister explora la intrincada red de «relaciones especiales» del ego a través de una lente cómica. Utilizando la metáfora de una transformación en la escuela secundaria y la incómoda búsqueda de la validación romántica, el debate desmantela la jerarquía del amor que enseña el mundo.Temas clave de la sesión:La ilusión de la especialidad: David examina cómo el ego utiliza categorías como «mejor amigo», «pareja» y la temida «zona de amistad» para mantener una sensación de separación y carencia.El humor como herramienta de sanación: La sesión destaca la necesidad de la risa para deshacer la seriedad del ego, recordándonos que simplemente «olvidamos reírnos» de la pequeña y loca idea de estar separados de Dios.De la escasez a la abundancia: Al observar nuestros desesperados intentos por encontrar el amor en la forma, comenzamos a reconocer nuestro valor inherente y el amor constante e incondicional del Cristo interior.«Dios no creó los cuerpos, y el problema del juicio es la creencia de que los cuerpos son reales. En el día de San Valentín, celebramos la liberación de estos conceptos hacia la luz pura del amor ágape».Estas reuniones tienen lugar todos los fines de semana de febrero y marzo de 2026 e incluyen enseñanzas, películas, música, mesas redondas y sesiones de preguntas y respuestas en directo con David Hoffmeister.Descubre las celebraciones de fin de semana de El Camino del Místico.Para obtener más información sobre las sesiones de películas bilingües, David Hoffmeister y los eventos de Living Miracles, visita: https://www.elcristoenti.com/eventosGrabado el 14 de febrero de 2026.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles: https://livingmiraclescenter.orgLearn more about A Course in Miracles: https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish Youtube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWw

https://www.the-christ.net/blog/the-way-of-the-mysticIn this deep and humorous 'The Way of the Mystic' session from February 14, 2026, David Hoffmeister explores the ego's intricate web of "special relationships" through a comedic lens. Using the metaphor of a high school transformation and the awkward quest for romantic validation, the discussion dismantles the hierarchy of love that the world teaches.Key Themes of the Session:The Illusion of Specialness: David examines how the ego uses categories like "best friend," "partner," and the dreaded "friend zone" to maintain a sense of separation and lack.Humor as a Healing Tool: The session highlights the necessity of laughter in undoing the ego's seriousness, reminding us that we simply "forgot to laugh" at the tiny, mad idea of being separate from God.From Scarcity to Abundance: By looking at our desperate attempts to find love in form, we begin to recognize our inherent worthiness and the consistent, unconditional love of the Christ within."God did not create bodies, and the problem of judgment is the belief that bodies are real. On Valentine's Day, we celebrate the release from these concepts into the pure light of Agapé love."These gatherings take place every weekend in February and March 2026 and include teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.Register for the Way of the Mystic for free here: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mysticIf you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded February 14, 2026Follow us on:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles: https://livingmiraclescenter.orgLearn more about A Course in Miracles: https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish Youtube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWw

In The Sacred Science of Ancient Japan, you will discover the Japanese equivalent to Atlantis: records of ancient legends handed down as historical texts, stories of an age when gods and men interacted. Avery Morrow examines the provenance of these works, but more importantly, he discuss the importance of their content and the important messages they have for the world, through a rough comparison to the works of Julius Evola and René Guénon. Avery Morrow is the author of The Sacred Science of Ancient Japan and various articles providing new perspectives on Eastern traditions. He is currently studying the Eastern classics and Shinto esotericism at St. John's College in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Avery's Website: www.avery.morrow.name Hosted on Acast.

In this powerful episode of Cryptid Warfare, Andrew sits down with Dr. Dennis Carroll to break down the truth about angels — what the Bible actually says, what most Christians misunderstand, and why angelology matters now more than ever. We dive deep into: • What angelology really is • The hierarchy and different types of angels in Scripture • Seraphim, Cherubim, Archangels, and the “living creatures” • Angels in spiritual warfare • Biblical encounters that shook entire nations • Firsthand modern accounts of angelic intervention Are angels symbolic? Are they warriors? Do they still show up today? This episode goes beyond Sunday school theology and into the raw, biblical reality of heavenly beings operating under the authority of God. If you're serious about understanding the unseen realm — this is Angelology 101. The battle is real.

Christopher O'Brien returns for part 2 of our conversation on Stalking the Herd. We get into deeper aspects of the Cattle Mutilation phenomenon, and you can follow us down the rabbit hole. From 1992 to 2002 Christopher O'Brien investigated over one thousand paranormal events reported in the San Luis Valley—located in south-central Colorado/north-central New Mexico. Working with law enforcement officials, ex-military, ranchers and an extensive network of skywatchers, he documented what may have been the most intense wave of unexplained activity ever seen in a single region of North America. His ten-year investigation resulted in the three books of his “mysterious valley” trilogy: The Mysterious Valley, Enter the Valley, and Secrets of the Mysterious Valley. His meticulous field investigation of UFO reports, unexplained livestock deaths, Native American legends, cryptozoology, secret military activity and the folklore, found in the world's largest alpine valley, has produced one of the largest databases of unusual occurrences gathered from a single geographic region. He is currently working with a team of specialists installing a high-tech video surveillance and hard-data monitoring system in and around the San Luis Valley. He has also authored Stalking the Tricksters which is published by Adventures Unlimited Press. This controversial book distills his years of field investigation and research into an ingenious unified paranormal theory that is sure to create intense interest and controversy. Hosted on Acast.

Centered around the "Big Yes," a core team—including Jeffrey, Nicholas, Eric, Dini, and Natalie—shares their journey of transitioning the ministry into a unified digital ecosystem. What began as an exploration of tools became a mystical experience of mind-merging, where technical details like emails and files served as a backdrop for deep spiritual healing.Through the lens of A Course in Miracles, the group explores how AI and automation can be repurposed by the Holy Spirit to foster a state of rest. By surrendering the "how" and "why" to the Spirit, the community experienced a collapse of time and an expansion of trust. The transition symbolized leaving behind separate "apartments" of isolation for a shared "mansion" of oneness, illustrating that when we join in purpose, every perceived problem is already solved.Highlights of the Session:The Power of the "Yes": Nicholas shares the vulnerability of leading a transformative project without knowing the way, demonstrating that willingness is the only requirement for miracles.Repurposing Form: The community discusses how Google Workspace and Gemini have streamlined mundane tasks, allowing more space for spiritual vigilance and joy.Humor as a Healing Tool: The team presents a series of comedic sketches that use a metaphor for global oneness to gently dissolve resistance to change.A New State of Mind: Participants share "miracle sharings"—from automating menu plans to feeling supported by "spa" sessions for spiritual tech support—showing that healing is indeed a collaborative venture."Healing is the way in which separation is overcome. It is just showing that you are not alone; you don't need to figure it out yourself. You are so loved." — A Participant quoting Jesus from A Course in Miracles.Recorded Saturday Evening, February 7, 2026Follow us on:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles: https://livingmiraclescenter.orgLearn more about A Course in Miracles: https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish Youtube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWw

Episode Topic: Metaphysics of Prayer (https://go.nd.edu/8e9338)If God is all-wise and all-good, why ask Him for anything? Fr. Stephen L. Brock invites us to explore this mystery through the lenses of C.S. Lewis and St. Thomas Aquinas. While Lewis offers an intuitive account, it faces significant theoretical hurdles. In contrast, Aquinas's metaphysical approach, though more challenging, ultimately provides a deeper answer. Join us to contemplate how his vision honors divine transcendence while surprisingly granting our prayers a more powerful role in shaping the course of events in our world.Featured Speakers:Fr.

This episode was recorded before a live audience at Indiana University Cinema as part of Weird Academia, a series of events that brought much high strangeness to Bloomington, Indiana, in January 2026. The discussion followed a screening of Ken Russell's 1980 cinematic fever dream, Altered States. In it, JF and Phil explore the weird intersection of mysticism, psychedelics, and institutional science, and they close with a brief Q&A with members of the audience.

What happens when curiosity meets uncertainty...live? In this inaugural episode of Ask The Skeptic Metaphysicians, Will and Karen step out from behind the edit button and into real-time conversation, answering viewer questions about spirituality, consciousness, relationships, doubt, and everything in between. This episode matters now because more people are questioning old assumptions about spiritual awakening, but don't want dogma, gurus, or tidy answers that collapse under scrutiny.Episode Overview This is the first episode in a new monthly live series, Ask The Skeptic Metaphysicians, streaming on YouTube, Facebook, and New Reality TV. Every second Tuesday of the month, Will and Karen go live to answer questions directly from the community—ranging from deeply personal (“How did you two meet?”) to existential (“Why does growth feel so messy?”). In this kickoff conversation, they explore what five years of podcasting about consciousness, metaphysics, and modern spirituality have actually taught them, especially the parts that don't fit neatly into spiritual soundbites. The result is a candid, sometimes playful, sometimes challenging discussion that treats uncertainty as a feature, not a flaw.Key Insights & TakeawaysSpiritual growth isn't linear: Progress looks less like a straight path and more like a spiral, trampoline, or series of returns, with shorter lows and deeper perspective over time.Messiness isn't failure: Confusion, doubt, and emotional swings aren't signs you're doing spirituality “wrong”; they're often part of the process.Mainstream people are having non-mainstream experiences: Doctors, accountants, tech workers—spiritual curiosity is far more common than people admit out loud.Content consumption isn't transformation: Watching videos or listening to podcasts doesn't automatically equal growth; discernment and integration still matter.Questioning doesn't cancel intuition: Doubt and intuition can coexist—and often should—especially in modern spirituality.Why This Conversation Is Different There's no pitch, no promise of enlightenment, and no claim that one path fits all. Will and Karen openly disagree, challenge each other's assumptions, and acknowledge what they don't know. That includes questioning spiritual hierarchies, resisting “my way is the only way” thinking, and calling out spiritual bypassing when it shows up. This episode models what skeptical, grounded exploration of manifestation, soul purpose, and consciousness can actually sound like, without abandoning reason or wonder. A Note for the Listener You're allowed to explore without committing to belief. Curiosity does not make you naïve. Skepticism does not make you closed. This space exists precisely for people who live in the middle.Join Us Live Next Time This is just the beginning. Ask The Skeptic Metaphysicians happens live every second Tuesday of the month, and your questions help shape the conversation. Tune in, bring your curiosity, and ask the questions you've been holding back.
https://www.the-christ.net/blog/the-way-of-the-mysticIn this "Mission Accomplished" Saturday morning movie session, David Hoffmeister uses a mini-movie to illuminate a radical spiritual breakthrough: the realization that our innocence is already complete. The narrative, condensed from multiple action films, serves as a powerful metaphor for the ego's complex plots and the Holy Spirit's swift undoing of them. David focuses on two pivotal metaphysical themes:The Illusion of Time and Control: Drawing on A Course in Miracles Lesson 158, David explains that "time is a trick, a sleight of hand." He emphasizes that the ego uses the past and future to distract us from the Holy Instant, where our safety lies. By letting go of the need to control the "script" of our lives, we discover that the mission of salvation is already accomplished through the Atonement.Transcending the Ego's Distractions: The session explores how the mind is often fooled into believing it is a separate, physical entity at the mercy of external circumstances. David invites us to "peer behind the curtain" and see that all conflict—whether a nuclear threat on screen or a personal grievance—is merely a projection of a split mind.Through his commentary, David guides listeners to hear the gentle whisper of Jesus saying, "Mission Accomplished," allowing us to surrender our worries and judgments in favor of the happiness that is our natural inheritance.These gatherings take place every weekend in February and March 2026 and include teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.Register for the Way of the Mystic for free here: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mysticIf you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded February 7, 2025Follow us on:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles: https://livingmiraclescenter.orgLearn more about A Course in Miracles: https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish Youtube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWw

Stuck in the Silence?The old maps—standard devotionals and "trying harder"—won't work here. You need new coordinates.I wrote a comprehensive guide on the metaphysics of the Dark Night and how to navigate it without losing your mind.Start Here: Read the Field Guide https://midnightcarmelite.com/darknight/We often mistake spiritual activity for spiritual progress. When the sensible consolations of prayer vanish, our natural human instinct is to "panic-buy" our way back into God's presence through more rosaries, more retreats, and more mental strain. However, this is not a lack of effort; it is a misunderstanding of the metaphysics of the Light. By virtue of your Baptism, you are already in the Light—but an "Excess of Light" can feel like total darkness. The resentment you feel toward a "broken contract" with God is the signal that you are trying to navigate a new landscape with an old, broken map.The Myth of Spiritual Volume: Why adding more vocal prayers during a period of dryness is often a defense mechanism against the actual surgery God is performing.The Metaphysics of Baptism: Understanding your permanent mark as an adopted child of God and why you cannot "fall out" of His light, even when it feels blinding or absent.Productive vs. Unproductive Mortification: How to stop "spiritual thrashing" and pivot toward disciplined detachment from specific habits (like doom-scrolling) rather than mental exhaustion in prayer.The Unique Dialogue: Why universal prescriptions often fail and the necessity of returning to the life of Christ in the Gospels as the "Final Word" of your direction.

The self and the world We tend to think of ourselves as observers of the world and experience as something different from the material stuff that makes up reality. Yet at the same time as human beings, we are at once part of the universe and part of that reality. And this profoundly puzzling relationship, that we are both part of something and yet separate from it, has been at the centre of Western thought. Materialists claim there is only physical material. But if so, thought, experience, and consciousness become illusory. Idealists argue there is only consciousness, but then it is reality that becomes an illusion. While dualists hold that both the self and the world exist, but that the connection between the two is mysterious. Is the self part of the world or necessarily outside of it? Was Kant right that the distinction between subject and object is necessary for experience to be possible? Or are these deep metaphysical questions beyond us, and our theories and language incapable of uncovering the ultimate state of things?Slavoj Žižek is one of the most famous philosophers in the world and is the author of more than 50 books, including most recently at the time of the debate Zero Point. Alenka Zupančič is a leading Lacanian philosopher and social theorist. She is a professor at The European Graduate School and at the University of Nova Gorica. Joining from America, Carlo Rovelli is a leading theoretical physicist, the author of several best-selling books, and a founding figure in the field of quantum gravity. His recent book, Reality Is Not What It Seems, has ethical implications for the nature of the self and personal identity. Jack Symes hosts.

https://www.the-christ.net/blog/the-way-of-the-mysticThis opening session of "The Way of the Mystic" 2026 Weekend Online Revival, featuring David Hoffmeister, Marina Colombo, and Urpi Milla, sets a profound tone for a journey of spiritual awakening.The session introduces the weekend's central theme: Healing is a collaborative endeavour.David Hoffmeister begins by redefining collaboration through the lens of A Course in Miracles, suggesting that although it appears we collaborate with one another in the "world of form," we are truly learning to collaborate with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes that this entire world was built on a foundation of ego-based hatred; therefore, a shift in purpose is required to allow forgiveness to replace our personal interpretations. This spiritual collaboration is not a solo journey but a "collaborative venture" in healing.The participants share personal insights and "miracles" that illustrate the power of following divine prompts rather than ego-based plans. The session concludes with an invitation to join in a shared prayer for innocence, moving beyond past memories of "right and wrong" to embrace the "isness" of God's love.Discover the Way of the Mystic Weekend Revivals.

Peter Robbins returns to the show to continue our discussion about Wilhelm Reich. We talk about Peters' latest book, called Deception, and do get into varies discussion about UFO's, and then get into Reich, Cloudbusting, and UFO's.Peter Robbins was first introduced to the books of Wilhelm Reich as a teenager by a college roommate, to whom he remains deeply indebted. In 1976 he met Dr. Elsworth F. Baker, Reich's first assistant for the last eleven years of his life. Soon after this he became a patient of Dr. Baker and entered into almost seven years of medical orgone therapy with the distinguished orgonomist.Robbins went on to enroll in the classes New York University offered in scientific and social orgonomy which was taught by the Reich scholars Professors John Bell and Paul Matthews. They in turn invited him to become a member of their ongoing Seminar in Social and Scientific Orgonomy, patterned after the seminars which Sigmund Freud presided over during the nineteen twenties. Peter spent much of the nineteen eighties involved with this group, presenting a variety of papers to his fellow seminar members under Matthews' and Bell's guidance and leadership.Peter was a volunteer fundraiser for the American College of Orgonomy's (ACO) Building Fund and had two papers on Wilhelm Reich and UFOs published in the Journal of Orgonomy. He was part of a select group of volunteers invited to witness a demonstration of cloudbusting technology and presented on the subject of Reich and UFOs at the ACO's Princeton NJ facility, and at international conferences on the life and work of Reich in New York City, Ashland Oregon, Niece France and Karavomilos Greece. His lectures have been well received at numerous scientific and UFO conferences both here and abroad while his articles on the subject have been published in a variety of print and web publications. Robbins' extensively researched paper, “Politics, Religion and Human Nature: Practical Problems and Roadblocks on the Path Toward Official UFO Acknowledgment” is scheduled to be published in the upcoming issue of Annals of the Institute for Orgonomic Science.

Chris sadly passed away a few years ago from this posting in 2026.This week we talk about the Ark of the Covenant with Christopher Jordan. Chris has written a number of books on what he calls The Ancient Solar Premise. Chris' latest book, The Ark of the Covenant Operations Manual, talks about what the ark really was, and how the miracles ascribed to it were performed.Christopher Jordan was born in London and studied Chemical Physics at Sussex University, under the guidance of Sir Harold Kroto. He played a part in manually analyzing the early data from the microwave telescopes, eventually identifying an alcohol in interstellar gas clouds. These tasks were being automated by computers, which were doing the job better and faster. During a short spell on the accounting ladder, the same was noted within the financial sector. Chris Jordan surfed this wave of computer growth by developing small and large data systems for national food and beverage companies. Eventually, managing a national software department after stints as a programmer, business analyst and project manager.During this period he became intrigued with some of the unanswered questions surrounding nature's development process. After many years of study some concepts were crossed over between the computing and biological arenas. This led to some novel computer systems that literally built themselves around the databases to which they were aimed. This software was the center piece of a computer company set up by a few partners and himself. Several papers on systems analysis and design were published during this time in specialist magazines.Whilst running this company, further research was carried out modeling non-linear reaction diffusion systems on the surfaces of cells and groups of cells. This led to his seminal work on the nature of morphological determination and the role cell adhesion molecules played within the scheme. This in turn led to some unique experiments in the field of developmental biology. The general framework for development was published in Thailand during a three year sabbatical.The author started visiting the ancient sites of Asia during this period. Whilst he had previously been a visitor to the European and Egyptian sites, the common facets of the cultures began to emerge from all this travel. Despite a two year interlude managing the IT for a global spirits company in ex Eastern bloc countries, the interest in the ancient past continued. Specifically, the desire to make sense of all of these similar religious sites, tools and unexplained curios. Any scientist is taught that it is from the quirky inexplicable areas that new ideas evolve. A simple paradigm that extends further is deemed more elegant than a restrictive complex alternative. This is where the site narrative that makes up the Secrets of the Sun Sects stems from.This was coupled with the faulty parabolic mirror theories that surround these same cultures. The math that shows how easy it was for the ancient craftsmen to build the mirrors and how powerful they were, was carried out over thirty years ago. Ironically, this was the first thing the author failed to publish as a teenager. At the time, it was just a table, which a child thought was missing from the classroom texts. Fortuitously, it was very useful in proving that spherical surfaces make good Burning Mirrors for all manner of applications. From these two strands the full scope of the use of solar technology in the ancient world was built up. He is currently promoting the use of solar technologies in the developing countries of Asia.Check Out his website: www.secretsofthesunsects.wordpress.com Hosted on Acast.

The "Joined in Purpose" retreat was full to overflowing with healing and miracles. Prayers were answered, and healing assignments were recognized and given full care and attention. What it means to join in prayer, join in purpose, and join in mind, is now alive in the mind and heart! It takes great trust, faith, and a willingness to open up and keep going deeper on this healing journey of awakening.Thank you all, and thank you, David, for beaming in for this session.

You know the pattern is there. You've seen it loop enough times to wonder if the universe is taking notes. If you've ever felt like certain doors refuse to open, or open too easily at exactly the wrong moment...this conversation reveals what's been quietly influencing your choices before you even made them.Episode Overview Astrologer and intuitive guide Gabrielle Celeste joins Will and Karen to explore how consciousness, astrology, and subconscious patterns shape the decisions we think we're making freely. This isn't about horoscopes or vague predictions. It's about understanding why specific themes keep surfacing in your relationships, career, and timing, and what your birth chart reveals about the patterns you're unconsciously running.Gabrielle shares her journey from corporate fall guy to full-time astrologer, explains how your chart functions as a cosmic roadmap (not a prison sentence), and breaks down the difference between sun, moon, and rising signs in terms anyone can grasp.She also delivers a sobering forecast for 2026, including a February week that demands your attention.Questions This Episode AnswersIs your birth chart a cosmic blueprint or a predetermined sentence? Gabrielle explains what your natal chart actually captures, and whether you're stuck with what it reveals.Why does knowing you're a Gemini (or any sun sign) tell you almost nothing about yourself? Discover which of the "big three" astrological placements reveals the truest expression of your soul, and why most people are reading astrology backwards.How do professional astrologers actually see what's coming? Gabrielle reveals how she blends chart readings with intuition, numerology, and shamanic training, and shares examples of eerily specific predictions that came true years later.What separates ethical spiritual practitioners from the grifters? Hear Gabrielle's unfiltered take on what's required before you're qualified to hold space for others...and why bypassing your own shadow work harms the people you claim to serve.What astrological events in 2026 should actually be on your radar? Gabrielle breaks down the most significant transits of the year, including a cosmically loaded week in February and why October/November might echo unfinished business from 2018.How can you tell when you're resisting alignment versus actually lacking it? Gabrielle offers a surprisingly simple divination tool you already have...no chart required.Why This Conversation Is Different Gabrielle doesn't sell certainty or comfort. She acknowledges the paradox of free will versus cosmic influence without pretending to have all the answers. She's transparent about what astrology can't predict (and what she refuses to touch, like exact death dates). She calls out grifters in the spiritual space who chase profit over purpose. And she frames astrology not as mystical fortune-telling, but as a practical lens for understanding subconscious blocks, timing friction, and recurring life patterns; concepts skeptics can respect even if they don't "believe."This episode avoids both spiritual bypassing and cynical dismissiveness. It's grounded, curious, and refreshingly honest about the limits of any single system.For the Skeptic Still Reading You don't have to believe in astrology for patterns to exist in your life. You don't have to accept fate to recognize that certain themes keep surfacing. Gabrielle's work, whether you interpret it as cosmic influence or psychological archetype, offers a framework for seeing what you've been unconsciously repeating. If nothing else, it's a mirror. And mirrors don't lie, even when the reflection makes you uncomfortable.Curiosity isn't gullibility. Exploring astrology doesn't mean abandoning critical thinking. It means asking: What if there's a structure I haven't noticed yet?Listen If You Want ToUnderstand why astrology goes far deeper than daily horoscopesLearn what your rising sign, moon sign, and houses actually meanHear how one woman went from corporate scandal to professional astrologerGet a heads-up on 2026's most intense astrological windowsExplore the intersection of intuition, shadow work, and consciousnessQuestion whether free will and cosmic blueprints can coexistTopics: spiritual awakening, astrology, consciousness, intuition, natal chart, shadow work, metaphysics, soul purpose, modern spirituality, Saturn return, subconscious patterns Speical Offer:Use the code "20AGUA" for 20% off any of the services listed on her website.Connect with Gabrielle CelesteWebsite: https://www.aguaastrology.comSpiritual Sisters Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/76R1e2m64NVuAzfp9cBuOXInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/aguaastrologyListener Survey:Help shape the future of the Skeptic Metaphysicians.
