Gary Kiss is a pioneering voice in the field of biophotonics. Biophotonics is the study of the light within life—the subtle radiance that reveals how living beings communicate, heal, and connect with the universe.   This conversation moves far beyond theory. It's about light as life itself. Gary bridges microbiology, physics, and spirit in a way that makes the invisible visible. From his research into live blood cell microscopy to his breakthrough healing technology, he shows how light influences not only our cells but our moods, our immune systems, and even the subtle fields that surround our bodies.   If you've ever wondered why we feel alive in sunlight, why stress and EMFs seem to drain us, or how ancient wisdom about light and energy might intersect with cutting-edge science, this is a conversation you'll want to hear.   About Gary Kiss is an innovator, researcher, and entrepreneur who has spent years at the frontier of biophotonics — the study of how light interacts with living systems. His work bridges stem-cell research, live blood cell microscopy, and quantum biology, exploring how light influences health at the cellular and energetic levels. Gary is the founder of several groundbreaking ventures dedicated to bringing bio-photon technology to everyday life: BioHealing Stream – a platform that streams pure biophotonic light to any device, helping users rapidly reduce stress, improve sleep, and raise their vibrational frequency. Eluumis – creators of the striking hand-built biophotonic orbs that harness and emit light from the atmosphere to recharge the body and its surrounding space. Together, these initiatives reflect Gary's larger mission: to merge science and spirit by helping people (and the planet) recover their natural light.   Feelings with Strangers Socials Insta: https://www.instagram.com/feelings.with.strangers/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FeelingswithStrangers   Gary Kiss Bio Healing Stream: https://biohealing.stream/ Eluumis: https://www.eluumis.com/

Did God really say you can't do this, or you can't do that? This kind of thought gets in our minds and then we nurture the thought. We cultivate the thought and so begins the process of eventually firing God and replacing him with me, ourselves, and off the rails we go to live happily ever after, or maybe not. So let me just bring this down to us again. I want to keep warning us to not let this stir up in us anger with finger pointed to some group out there, that is absolutely fruitless, if not outright uncchristian.The thing for us to do is draw this onto ourselves. So let me show you what I mean. I am at the center of futile thinking. At the center of futile thinking, in other words, is the me and everything the me wants. I want to do what I want to do. I know best. I think this is good. I think that is right. I want to do whatever I feel like doing. What's true for me is true for me, even if it's not actually true. If I think it's true or want it to be true or think it should be true, then it is true enough for me even if it is not objectively or actually true according to reality as established by God. And if all of this is starting to sound just a tad bit absurd, then I am communicating very clearly because it is.

Neoborn Caveman unleashes a caveman-sized takedown of hatred's toxic grip on our fractured world—from Chinese botnets fueling Middle East rage to Eurovision boycotts turning art into a battlefield. We dissect the "spherical attack" on humanity: plastic-saturated clothes seeping into our bloodstreams, data-hoarding blood banks eyeing your DNA for 30 years, and air pollution blackening icons like Delhi's Red Fort and the Taj Mahal (spoiler: it's not your campfire's fault). But fear not—this isn't doom-scrolling; it's a rallying cry for radical positivity. Learn why almonds slash bad cholesterol for metabolic warriors like us, how Chaplin's Great Dictator speech still slays divisive triggers, and why music—like Sami Chohfi's globe-trotting anthems of connection—builds bridges where propaganda burns them. We champion sovereignty over social contracts no one signed, warn of financial whirlwinds dwarfing 2008, and arm you with tools to protect kids, pets, and your eternal worth. Hatred drains the soul; greatness refuels it. Tune in, unplug the machine, and remember: you're not alone in this extraordinary, ordinary world. Slurp, burp, and rise.Key TakeawaysYou're Built for Greatness: Your unique existence isn't random—embrace it as eternal fuel, untethered from wealth, norms, or globalist gears.Guard Your Sovereignty Fiercely: No registry owns your data—question blood banks hoarding DNA, reject the invisible machine siphoning your soul.Modern Life's a Slow Poison—Fight Back Naturally: Ditch processed junk for God-made gems like organic almonds and green tea; they heal guts, hearts, and barriers against the plastic plague.The Spherical Siege Is Real: From noise-polluted streets to unlivable air turning monuments black, we're under 360° assault—but logic (not "trust the science") exposes the culprits.Brace for Unprecedented Turbulence: Next three years eclipse 2008's bubble burst; thrive without governments by trading, supporting kin, and listening to the good word.Evil Shouts, Good Whispers Louder: More souls are gold than grime; drown bots and agitprop in cat purrs, prayers, and nature walks.Reject the Parasites, Claim Your Throne: WEF, Club of Rome, Shite Gates? Nah—we're sovereign cogs who opt out. History's real lessons (not curricula lies) prove society spins sans their strings.Chapters00:00 Embracing Individual Value and Positivity02:53 The Dangers of Hatred and Division05:47 Sovereignty and Personal Data Concerns08:44 The Impact of Modern Life on Health11:40 The Spherical Attack on Humanity15:04 Anticipating Future Challenges17:05 Health Insights and Nutritional Advice19:05 The Role of Music and Art in Society21:28 The Influence of Hatred in Society26:38 The Power of Positivity and Connection30:30 Cultural Commentary and Social Responsibility34:01 The Importance of Unity Over Division36:49 Recognizing Greatness Within Us38:16 Environmental Concerns and Responsibility41:58 Awakening to True History and SovereigntySound Bites"You were designed to be great...

The politics of the world matters; right, left, Democrat, Republican, conservative, progressive. But the church is a community of those whose first identity is who they are in the Trinity and to the Trinity. So, our first passion and first agenda and first focus is not right, left, progressive, conservative, Democrat, Republican. It is kingdom. It is the way of Jesus. Ephesians 4 and verse 15, “Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.”

Immaturity is one of the glaring problems facing the church in our country right now. Immaturity. Christian immaturity. Christians acting immature. There are far too many who claim to be Christian, standing in their highchairs with nothing on but a diaper, demanding dessert right here and right now. Christians who have not and are not, allowing the gospel to penetrate their pathologies and transform them into a new person who increasingly thinks, feels, acts, reacts, chooses, and responds the way Jesus would if he were in their shoes and in their situation.

We'd love to hear from you, send us a text about your favorite show!If you've ever felt floaty, emotional, or like there's lingering energy hanging around after a reading, healing session, or deep spiritual work—your container may still be open.As intuitives, healers, and sensitives, we often focus so much on opening up to Spirit, to energy, to messages—that we forget one of the most essential parts: closing. Without a strong close, you're more likely to feel ungrounded, vulnerable, or even energetically scattered. And over time, that can take a real toll on your system.In this episode, we're exploring why a thoughtful closing prayer or ritual is more than just a “nice to have.” It's an energetic boundary. It's integration. It's protection. It helps your nervous system settle, brings your energy field back into balance, and gives you the closure needed to return to everyday life feeling strong and clear.  It's essential to your long term health as a spiritual practitioner.Whether you're doing a session for yourself, connecting with Spirit Guides, or holding sacred space for others, you'll find some inspiration to create a closing practice that feels resonant for you.Christina Wooten helps you access the wisdom and support of the Spirit World to elevate your life.She is a Certified Psychic Medium and Reiki Master Teacher.  Christina is the owner of Sedona Medium and co-host of Modern Life and Spirit podcast.She offers Psychic Medium Readings, Soul Readings, and teaches how you can start communicating and receiving messages from your Spirit Guides - through her program.Learn more about her offerings here>>>>>>Please rate, review, and subscribe to show your support, be informed of new episodes  and stay connected with the conversation

"If you could watch one video and finally understand all of life… this is it. I break down money, love, happiness, and why we’re all anxious in the modern world. This is my attempt at the unified theory of human existence."What if you could understand all of life in one framework? In this video, Tai Lopez dives deep into what he calls the Grand Theory of Everything—the tension between three forces that shape human existence: Your ego (the self at the center of your experience) Your tribal instincts (family, survival, and primal drives) The global society (laws, morals, and systems much larger than the tribe) Tai explains how this clash between the “small world” and the “big world” explains modern struggles like anxiety, relationships, money, morality, and even politics. From ancient tribes to the industrial revolution to today’s hyper-connected cities, he reveals how our DNA still pulls us toward tribal living—even while society pushes us into global conformity. Learn why so many people feel confused, anxious, and unfulfilled in modern life, and how to manipulate your environment to regain balance, happiness, and success.

In this episode, hormone optimization expert Guy Citrin reveals how stress dominates hormone balance while plastic exposure acts as estrogen mimics, decreasing testosterone and contributing to rising infertility rates. He explains how microplastics embedded in tissues disrupt receptor function and can trigger hormone-dependent cancers. Guy breaks down why conventional blood tests tell an incomplete story and how the Dutch test's analysis of 52 hormone breakdown components reveals hundreds of dysfunction patterns, enabling precise interventions. Discover his clinical approach to testosterone optimization, the therapeutic potential of peptides for natural body modulation, and why quality sourcing determines results. The difference between feeling "normal" and feeling vital lies in the breakdown story your blood work isn't telling you.

Associate Pastor Ron King concludes our Ecclesiastes series.It's been said that our modern age has been diagnosed with the word disenchanted; our focus on the material has often robbed us of what is sacred. But after all of the wisdom Solomon has imparted in this book, his final words are actually a call to be re-enchanted with a childlike wonder and awe of God.This call is summarized with two final commands: to remember your Creator, and to fear God and keep his commandments. These words are Solomon's remedy for cynicism and his secret for human wholeness.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on August 24, 2025, at 10:15am.

In this episode, Kathleen and Rochana bring you an excerpt from their new course, Bach Flower Foundations, now open for registration at the School for Flower Essence Studies.  We share a segment from the module, Bach Flowers for Modern Life, where we springboard from Dr. Bach's original insights on personality types to think in terms of the Bach flowers as archetypes representing personality “parts” and how they interact in relationships. It's a fascinating discussion highlighting some of the most “active” Bach flower archetypes and some corresponding “reactive” patterns, with examples that help us understand these personality parts better. It's a great way to envision some of the characteristics of the Bach flowers that we cover comprehensively in the course.

We'd love to hear from you, send us a text about your favorite show!Some places just feel different, right? Like the moment you step into a cozy yoga studio or that one little crystal shop you love, your whole nervous system goes, “Ahhh, yessss.” And then there are places—like the bright, noisy big box stores—where the energy can be overstimulating and distracting.  You can almost feel your auric field shrink inward!That's not a coincidence. That's energy. The space around you matters a lot—especially when you're doing intuitive or spiritual work.  It's also often something that gets overlooked.  In this episode, we're getting into how to create your own sacred space—a sanctuary that actually supports your nervous system, nurtures your connection with Spirit, and amplifies your connection with the other side.  That leads to better readings, better meditations, and deeper level work.  Whether you have the luxury of a whole room or a small corner devoted to Spirit, we'll talk about the little things that make a big impact.Whether you're just starting to build a space dedicated for spiritual connection or looking to breathe new life into one you've had for years, you'll find solid direction in this episode.Christina Wooten helps you access the wisdom and support of the Spirit World to elevate your life.She is a Certified Psychic Medium and Reiki Master Teacher.  Christina is the owner of Sedona Medium and co-host of Modern Life and Spirit podcast.She offers Psychic Medium Readings, Soul Readings, and teaches how you can start communicating and receiving messages from your Spirit Guides - through her program.Learn more about her offerings here>>>>>>Please rate, review, and subscribe to show your support, be informed of new episodes  and stay connected with the conversation

We look at  David Foster Wallace's "This is Water" commencement speech, examining its central themes of awareness, ego death, and the daily struggle against our "default settings." What starts as a discussion of the speech evolves into a broader exploration of how we navigate modern life—from the challenge of maintaining consciousness in consumer culture to the difficulty of having genuine conversations without blind certainty.We explore the paradox of participation versus checking out: how do we engage with contemporary media, technology, and culture while maintaining critical awareness? Through examples ranging from Netflix's "second screen" content to our own consumption of nostalgia-driven blockbusters, we grapple with questions of authenticity, discipline, and the constant work required to see beyond our self-centered perspective. The conversation touches on everything from movie criticism and artistic integrity to the design of modern attention-capture systems and the challenge of curating meaningful experiences in an age of infinite distraction. -Ai If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

In The Age of Choice: A History of Freedom in Modern Life, Sophia Rosenfeld traces how choice evolved from secret ballots and dance cards to consumer overload and political battlegrounds. She also dissects ihow the pro-choice movement's framing was both a strength and a vulnerability. Also, Trump's murder-rate comparison between D.C., Bogotá, and Mexico City, and in the Spiel, the case against “turtling” in public life when threats arise over professors posting their syllabi.

Ella Al-Shamahi grew up as a Muslim creationist, part of a ‘tribe' that believes that humankind was created whole by a higher power. At university, she enrolled in courses that studied evolution, specifically to prove her professors wrong - but the plan backfired when she became fascinated by evolutionary biology and came to the conclusion that Darwin was, in fact, right all along. Now an accomplished paleoanthropologist, she explores the complex journey of human evolution and the origins of Homo sapiens. In this episode of Ways to Change the World, Ella joins Krishnan Guru-Murthy to discuss her remarkable personal transformation from creationism to science. She also explains why she believes humans haven't fully evolved to meet the demands of the modern world, and shares her unwavering faith in humanity's resilience and potential.

Send us a textThis week, we're talking about a word that gets a bad rap — failure. If you've ever been on your wellness journey and found yourself saying, “I've blown it” or “I can't do this,” this episode is for you. I'm sharing stories that have inspired me — from an ancient philosopher who lost it all, to a bestselling author who almost quit — along with my own story of one last try that changed everything. By the end of our time together, I hope you'll see “failure” in a whole new light — not as an ending, but as the most surprising kind of beginning. Quote of the week:"Ever tried.

Economist and researcher Bill von Hippel joins AJ and Johnny to unpack a surprising question: if modern life is safer, richer, and more comfortable than ever, why do studies suggest hunter-gatherers were happier than we are? Bill shares insights from a decade of studying the “social paradox” — the gap between our material progress and our emotional satisfaction. They explore what ancient communities had that we've lost, how modern conveniences can backfire on our wellbeing, and why relationships, purpose, and shared struggle might matter more than comfort and entertainment. Bill also explains how rethinking connection, gratitude, and challenge can help us reclaim the fulfillment our ancestors enjoyed.

In this episode, Michael Shermer speaks with historian Sophia Rosenfeld about how modern notions of personal choice—from Amazon shopping to Tinder swipes—emerged from centuries of cultural, religious, political, and economic transformation. Was there ever a time when choice wasn't synonymous with freedom? Why were early ideas of “common sense” and “free will” so limited? And what happens when choice itself becomes overwhelming? From Enlightenment ideals to the sexual revolution and the abortion debate, Rosenfeld traces how our expanding range of options—and the meaning we attach to them—has shaped everything from our romantic lives to our political systems. A revealing look at the hidden history of freedom in a world that sometimes offers too much. Sophia Rosenfeld is Professor of History at the University of Pennsylvania. Her new book is The Age of Choice: A History of Freedom in Modern Life.

When you're feeling stressed, burnt out, and anxious — when you're striving and achieving but still finding yourself persistently dissatisfied with life — you might start looking for answers beyond what's offered by contemporary self-help.One ancient philosophy that can cast light on the sources of and solutions to our seemingly modern dilemmas is Buddhism. If you've ever been intrigued by Buddhism but admittedly only have a vague sense of what it's all about, Brendan Barca — co-author of The Daily Buddhist: 366 Days of Mindful Living — will walk you through its foundational principles.We begin our conversation with how Buddhism is similar to and different from other ancient philosophies like Stoicism, and Brendan offers an accessible introduction to the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path. In the second half of our conversation, we explore how Buddhist principles and practices can be applied to our everyday modern lives and help you deal with the anxiety created by living in an impermanent world, shift your perspective on daily challenges, and cultivate greater compassion and patience. We discuss different meditation methods, the real purpose of meditation, and how to get started with it as a beginner. We end our conversation with the Buddha's final words and what it means to “strive with vigilance.”Resources Related to the PodcastShamatha MeditationVipassana (Insight) MeditationTonglen MeditationAoM Article: A Primer on MeditationConnect With Brendan BarcaThe Daily Buddhist websiteThe Daily Buddhist on IG
