We'll talk about the common signs that you might be going through a spiritual awakening right now, how it can feel like both a breakdown and a breakthrough, and why your soul is actually remembering who you are. I also open up about my own awakening journey, including some of the mystical experiences I had at the Joe Dispenza retreat . If you've been feeling different, disconnected, or deeply called to something more... this episode is for you.Access Silkina's courses and workshops: stan.store/silkinaConnect with Silkina on Tik Tok @iamsilkina and on Instagram @awakenwithsilkina

Andrés Gomez Emilsson is the director of the San Francisco–based Qualia Research Institute (QRI), a nonprofit developing formal models of consciousness and emotional valence. QRI's research aims to untangle the harmonic, computational, and symmetry-driven mechanisms underlying phenomenological experience. They approach the optimization of subjective experience through two powerful psychotechnologies — psychedelics and meditation — using them to explore the state-space of mind and map the structure of qualia. In this conversation, we discuss the phenomenology of enlightenment, the non-local field effects of consciousness, and one of Andrés' side projects: how perfumes and smells modulate perception and emotional geometry.

Peter discussed the impact of his own near-death experience, the study of mysticism at Yale Divinity School, and the broader implications of these experiences on our understanding of reality. He delved into the suppression of mystical insights through history, the importance of meditative practices, and the role of chakras in elevating consciousness. This episode is a deep dive into the profound spiritual journey of seeking and experiencing the divine, addressing the complexities of spiritual growth, the importance of love, and the evolving collective awakening happening in the world today. About Peter: Reverend Peter Panagore, M. Div., Yale, is the author of two best-sellers, “Two Minutes for God,” a 7/365 collection of inspirational devotions that aired daily for fifteen years on two NBC News stations in Maine and New Hampshire, and ‘Heaven Is Beautiful: How Dying Taught Me That Death Is Just the Beginning”, an audible best seller that is available globally. His upcoming third book tells true tales of modern mystics in the classical tradition, in the high hopes that he can inspire more people to come out and share their own mystical experiences.  – He previously served as a United Church of Christ minister and pastor in Maine and Connecticut. He now speaks from pulpits, stages, and on national and international media about Near Death Experience, the Reality of God, Christian mysticism, meditation, and prayer.  – Reverend Peter Panagore, M.Div (Yale) has had two near-death experiences, the first while ice climbing in 1980 and the second in 2015 due to a heart attack. In this episode, he recalls his near death experience in March 1980 when he went ice climbing along the Ice Fields Parkway in Alberta Canada with an experienced ice climber.

In this episode of the Creative Genius podcast, I interview Rebe Huntman about her debut memoir, "My Mother in Havana, a memoir of magic and miracle." Rebe shares her personal story of losing her mother at a young age and the subsequent decades of feeling disconnected from her memory. Driven by a deep longing and intuition, Rebe embarked on a 30-day DIY pilgrimage to Cuba to seek a different perspective on grief and connection. The conversation delves into how Rebe's background as a Latin dancer led her to discover the spiritual roots of Cuban dances and the traditions of honoring the deceased.  Rebe recounts her experiences immersing herself in rituals dedicated to the goddess Oshun, visiting the sanctuary of Cuba's patron saint, and meeting with a spiritist who she hoped would connect her with her mother.Rebe and I discuss the importance of intuition and following one's unique path, even when it doesn't seem logical. We also explore the disconnect in Western culture from ancestral connections, magic, and meaningful rituals, contrasting it with the Cuban traditions of keeping the dead close.The conversation touches on the challenges of staying creative and connected to one's inner voice in the face of overwhelming global issues and personal fears. Rebe shares her belief in creativity as a portal and emphasizes the importance of honouring inner longings and choosing to champion humanity. She also shares her personal rituals for grounding and connecting with her intuition and ancestors, offering practical advice for listeners seeking to do the same. Ultimately, Rebe's story is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit, the wisdom of intuition, and the potential for magic and miracle in our lives, even in the darkest of times.  

In this episode of Closer to Venus, host Johnny Burke talks with Rod Bradley, a veteran journalist, trans dimensional communication (TDC) practitioner, and author of 'The Monk's Path.' They delve into Bradley's accidental discovery of TDC in 2005 and his experiences of recording disembodied voices related to Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP). Bradley shares stories about his past life as a Franciscan monk in 17th-century Sicily, connections with his current family from that time, and the mystical experiences and recordings that have reinforced his beliefs in reincarnation and fate. Bradley also discusses skepticism surrounding TDC and EVP, potential scientific approaches to validate them, and how these practices could help mediums and skeptics understand the spirit world better. Throughout the discussion, Bradley's personal encounters with psychic mediums and unique experiences are highlighted, providing an in-depth look at the mysteries of reincarnation and trans dimensional communication. 00:00 Introduction to Rod Bradley and the Mysteries of Reincarnation 00:36 Rod's First Encounter with Trans Dimensional Communication 02:58 Exploring Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP) and TDC 05:31 Skepticism and Evidence in Trans Dimensional Communication 06:45 The Monk's Path and Past Life Memories 08:53 Recollections and Research on Past Lives 18:58 Mystical Experiences and Christian Connections 22:41 The Concept of Sacred Vows and Pre-Birth Planning 29:31 Future of TDC and Overcoming Skepticism 36:30 Conclusion and How to Find More Information https://www.rodbradley.uk/ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Guy talked with Doug Matzke, a professional programmer and electrical engineer. He discussed the bold assertion that humans are akin to quantum computers, exploring the implications this has for our understanding of consciousness and artificial intelligence. He revisited his podcast's past episodes to highlight essential themes, particularly the idea that the brain operates not as a classical computer, but as a quantum one. This paradigm shift impacts our approach to building artificial intelligence, suggesting it's an insurmountable task with current assumptions. He also shared insights from his book 'Deep Reality,' delving into the deep connections between quantum physics, metaphysics, and human consciousness. Topics include the nature of hyperdimensional spaces, the power of intention, and the potential of tapping into a universal mind. Doug's vision for the future is optimistic; he believes that by understanding these concepts, humanity can accelerate its spiritual growth and harness infinite intelligence to transform reality. About Doug: Dr. Doug Matzke is a prolific scientist, researcher, and presenter in his areas of expertise about the limits of computation, hyperdimensional mathematics, neurocomputing, quantum computing, real intelligence and metaphysics. During his 45 year career, he was chairman of two PhsyComp ‘92/'94 workshops, contributed to 15 disclosed patents with 8 granted, has published more than 50 papers and presentations, and earned a PhD in Quantum Computing. Doug has adopted the moniker of “Quantum Doug” because he combines these deep-reality subjects as the source science beneath his quantum mind-based model of humanity.

In a world that often feels fragmented, uncertain, and spiritually empty, what if belief isn't just possible - but essential? Today, I'm sitting down with Ross Douthat, New York Times columnist and one of our most nuanced cultural thinkers, to explore a radical proposition: Why everyone should be religious in an age of growing skepticism. We're going beyond the debates of belief versus non-belief. This conversation dives into the mysteries at the heart of human experience - from quantum physics that suggests the universe might be more intentional than we thought, to near-death experiences that challenge everything we understand about consciousness. Douthat brings a provocative, intellectually rigorous perspective that defies easy categorization. We'll explore how ancient spiritual wisdom might hold profound answers for our hyper-individualized, technology-driven world. How can religious thinking help us navigate complexity, find meaning, and reconnect with something larger than ourselves? Expect surprises. We'll uncover scientific discoveries that point toward design, discuss supernatural experiences that defy materialist explanations, and wrestle with life's deepest questions. Whether you're a committed believer, a curious skeptic, or someone feeling spiritually lost, this episode promises to expand your understanding and offer a message of hope. We're not just talking about belief - we're reimagining what it means to be human in a mysterious universe. Ross Douthat is a columnist for The New York Times op-ed page. He is the author of Believe, The Deep Places, The Decadent Society, To Change The Church, Privilege, and Grand New Party. Before joining the Times he was a senior editor for The Atlantic. He is the film critic for National Review, and he has appeared regularly on television, including Charlie Rose, PBS Newshour, and Real Time with Bill Maher.Ross' Book:BelieveRoss' Recommendation:SeveranceSubscribe to Our Substack: Shifting CultureConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Martin was a lifelong agnostic until one day, to his great surprise, God spoke to him.

He unpacks not just what happened, but what it means for all of us. Why did God choose a burning bush? What was significant about Moses' response?

Brought to you by Paranormal Underground Radio Episode Date: 2.24.2025 Hosts: Karen Frazier, Chuckie G, and Cheryl Knight-Wilson Show Summary: In this episode of “Mindful Mystics,” we explore the profound world of mystical experiences in meditation. From unexpected moments of enlightenment to deep spiritual journeys, we share personal stories of altered states, energy connections, and meditation beyond the traditional "om." Karen recounts spontaneous mystical moments, including an otherworldly connection through music, while Chuck shares his transformative encounters in a meditative dreamscape guided by an angel. Cheryl reveals a mind-blowing experience where she received energy sent from across the country.  We  also discuss the nature of meditation, how it goes far beyond sitting in silence, and why group meditation is so powerful. We talk about the idea of stepping outside the "meat sack" of human existence to connect with the deeper, collective energy that ties us all together.  Check out: Paranormal Underground magazine: https://paranormalunderground.net/ Author and psychic medium Karen Frazier: https://www.authorkarenfrazier.com/#/ Paranormal Investigator and psychic medium Chuckie G: https://chuckieg.net/ Resources Mentioned --"The Witch's Shield: Protection Magick and Psychic Self-Defense” by Christopher Penczak  --"The Power of Eight: Harnessing the Miraculous Energies of a Small Group to Heal Others, Your Life, and the World” by Lynne McTaggart --Crystals for Meditation: Shungite, Morganite, Phenakite, Colombianite Show Highlights: [02:16] The Meaning of Meditation Karen and Cheryl discuss how meditation is often misunderstood. Cheryl realizes she had been placing meditation in a box, thinking it required sitting still with candles. The group agrees that meditation is a state of presence, which can happen in various activities, including walking, working, or even washing dishes.  [05:41] Karen's First Satori Moment Karen recounts an early mystical experience while shelling peas in her kitchen. She describes a sudden moment of enlightenment, where time stood still and she felt an overwhelming sense of perfection.  [07:34] The Flow State & Mystical Experiences in Daily Life Chuckie G and Karen discuss how athletes, musicians, and even writers enter a meditative flow state. They relate it to moments such as Michael Jordan's legendary performances, highway hypnosis, and Karen's experience of writing books in a near-trance state.  [12:04] Karen's Musical Meditation Experience Karen shares a profound meditation where she became one with music — an experience similar to listening to music while high, but without any drugs. She describes feeling the music as an energy with form, motion, and three-dimensional presence.  [16:44] Chuckie G's Journey to the “Town of Heaven” Chuckie G details a six-month-long meditative experience where he repeatedly visited a mystical place with a bridge, a cabin, and glowing jars of light. He later discovered his guide, Melissa, was actually the angel Ariel. Each time he opened a jar, he felt an inner transformation, learning more about himself and his abilities.  [29:18] Cheryl's Unexpected Energy Connection with Chad Cheryl shares a mind-blowing experience where she physically felt an overwhelming loving energy while sitting at her computer. She later learned that Chad had performed a meditation exercise from “The Witch's Shield” book to send her positive energy.  [35:19] Sending Energy & Reiki Healing The group discusses the power of sending energy to others. Karen shares that she sends Reiki to people every night at 8 PM and encourages listeners to intend to receive it if they need healing. Cheryl describes how she visualizes sending energy to loved ones.  [38:41] The Power of Group Meditation Karen introduces “The Power of Eight,” a meditation method by Lynne McTaggart, where a small group focuses collective energy on healing intentions. She shares a powerful experience of performing this meditation with 12 people for a friend battling cancer.  [43:58] Guided Heart Meditation & Group Energy Karen describes leading a heart-centered meditation with over 100 people at a Reiki conference, where she felt a wave of love and energy wash over the entire room. Chuckie G recalls similar experiences at yoga studios where collective energy became tangible.  [46:28] The Trap of Expectations in Meditation  Cheryl admits she often experiences mystical moments when she isn't expecting them. Chuckie G and Karen emphasize that trying too hard can block experiences, and the key is to remain open and relaxed.  [50:07] “You'll Always Feel Like You're Making It Up” Karen shares advice she learned at a Reiki conference — when having spiritual or meditative experiences, it will often feel like you're making it up. This is normal and doesn't mean the experience isn't real.  [54:18] Why Do We Age If There's No Time?  Cheryl asks a philosophical question: If time isn't real, why do we age? Karen explains that we exist in a reality governed by physical laws, which we collectively created to experience life through relativity.  [59:34] The Problem of Separation & Human Connection The hosts discuss how the world's problems stem from seeing differences instead of connection. Cheryl reflects on how shifting our focus toward connectivity could transform society.  [01:07:21] Crystals & Meditation  Karen and Chuckie G recommend different crystals for meditation, including shungite, phenakite, and morganite. Karen describes how she meditates with Colombianite, a tektite that shifts her into a mystical state.  [01:09:38] The “Meat Sack” Theory of Human Existence  Karen humorously describes the body as a “meat sack” that our consciousness zips into.

What if you could easily foster greater feelings of peace, love and connection to others and the Divine? And what if the key to doing so was a simple, drug-free, mind-body technique that you're already wired to use? In this episode, psychologist Traci Stein talks with Dr. Cameron Alldredge and Chris Corlett of Baylor University about their research (with Dr. Gary Elkins) using hypnosis to tap into mystical experiences. They also discuss other situations that can similarly prompt a reduction anxiety and generate feelings of transcendence.    For more information on the Mind-Body Medicine Lab at Baylor University, visit: https://mindbodymedicine.artsandsciences.baylor.edu/   For updates on social media, follow @CameronAlldredge     For more on Traci Stein and her hypnotic meditations and guided imagery, visit: https://www.drtracistein.com/

Maria Cuccia's story is one that challenges the boundaries of understanding and belief. Her journey began with a night in 1992, when a beam of light and an electric sensation led her to an encounter with beings not of this Earth. Maria's recount of meeting her extraterrestrial son, Elijah, aboard a spacecraft, is not just a tale of alien abduction but a transformative experience that left her with an unshakable mission. While her husband questioned her sanity, Maria's relentless pursuit of her truth and the strange occurrences that followed have become a testament to her resilience and determination to understand the unknown. Through the lens of UFO phenomena, we delve into the broader implications of extraterrestrial encounters, societal perceptions, and the power of embracing personal truth. Maria's connection to Dr. Steven Greer's work and her efforts to raise awareness challenge the stigma associated with such experiences.  Maria's website: -------------- Chapter Timestamps (01:24) - Maria's Alien Abduction Experience (16:39) - Exploring Mystical Experiences on Long Island (26:38) - Exploring UFOs and Collective Consciousness (42:15) - Sharing Frequencies of Presence Chapters With Long Summaries Chapter 1 Maria's Alien Abduction Experience 01:24 This chapter features a captivating conversation with Maria Cuccia, who recounts her extraordinary experience of being abducted by extraterrestrial beings in 1992. Maria describes waking up to a beam of light in her room and feeling an electric sensation before finding herself on a spacecraft. She vividly remembers encountering three beings with light emanating from where their heads should be, and being instructed to look at a group of children, one of whom was identified as her son, Elijah. Maria explains how this profound experience altered her life's course, giving her a sense of mission akin to those who have near-death experiences. Despite skepticism from her then-husband, she is determined to uncover the truth of what happened, noting her reluctance to undergo hypnosis to recall more details. Maria shares how this event and other strange occurrences, such as seeing a man at the foot of her bed and experiencing mysterious lights and helicopters, have driven her ongoing quest for understanding. Chapter 2 Exploring Mystical Experiences on Long Island 16:39 This chapter takes us on a journey through mysterious experiences and unearthly encounters. I reflect on a peculiar incident from childhood, where I inexplicably disappeared from a bus stop and was found around the corner, leaving me with a lingering sense of confusion. Through writing and hypnosis, I begin to piece together memories and explore connections between my experiences and my daughters' uniqueness, feeling as if we are part of an experiment. We explore the mystical allure of Long Island, discussing the enigmatic energy of places like Port Jefferson and the mysterious history surrounding areas like Brookhaven Labs and the Montauk Project. I also share the powerful, otherworldly energy of Pirates Cove, a place that feels like stepping into another dimension, amplifying intuition and sparking curiosity about Long Island's intense energy. Chapter 3 Exploring UFOs and Collective Consciousness 26:38 This chapter takes us on a journey through personal beliefs and experiences with extraterrestrial phenomena, particularly focusing on the influence of maternal bloodlines and UFO activity in Italy. We explore connections to Dr. Steven Greer's work, discussing the potential for false flag alien invasions and the idea that humanity already possesses advanced technology capable of replicating UFOs. I share personal anecdotes of mysterious military helicopter encounters, my efforts to raise awareness through speaking engagements and music, and the challenges faced in being perceived as "crazy" by skeptics. Amidst this, we reflect on the broader societal reactions to UFO disclosures, the importance of sharing unique experiences, and the role of writing as a means of healing and helping others. Ultimately, the chapter underscores a message of protection and courage in the face of skepticism, and the transformative power of embracing one's experiences and truth. ------------ Maria Cuccia, Alien Abduction, Extraterrestrial, Long Island, Mystical Experiences, UFOs, Collective Consciousness, Personal Truth, Dr. Steven Greer, Skepticism, Presence, Stuart Wilde, Human Connection, Energy, Hypnosis, Montauk Project, False Flag, Military Helicopters, Healing, Courage

#338 In this episode, Guy welcomed Rahelio Rodriguez, a spiritual guide based in Sedona, Arizona. They discussed the significant shift humanity is undergoing as it transitions into a higher-dimensional, more enlightened state. Rahelio shared his experiences working with the spiritual energies of Sedona's sacred land, including shamanic practices, astrology, and sound healing. He recounted personal encounters with UFOs and conveyed teachings from star beings about the Great Awakening. The conversation touches on the importance of embodying fifth-dimensional teachings in the present 3D reality, the parallels between human and Earth's energy systems, and the catalytic role of sacred sites in spiritual awakening. Rahelio also offered insights into managing Kundalini energy and the ongoing global shifts influenced by astrological patterns. The episode emphasizes personal spiritual growth, the integration of intuitive and rational mindsets, and the collective movement towards a harmonious future. About Rahelio: Rahelio Rodriguez's spiritual journey began in his teenage years, during the vibrant yet tumultuous era of the 1970s. At 66, he reflects on his youth, marked by the counterculture movement and experimentation with psychedelics. These experiences, though challenging, propelled him into deep soul searching and ultimately led him to a path of profound spiritual awakening. Rahelio's early encounters with altered states of consciousness were not always pleasant. Unlike his friends who enjoyed the euphoria, Rahelio often grappled with intense existential questions and a fear of death. This fear propelled him into deeper spiritual exploration, culminating in a spontaneous Kundalini experience that opened his mind to a higher reality. As he recounts, “Nothing like thinking you're going to die to make you get spiritual real quick.” Key Points Discussed:  (00:00) - SHAMAN REVEALS Humanity's Imminent Awakening Timeline (00:46) - Introduction to the Podcast (01:42) - Meet Rahelio Rodriguez (02:05) - The Magic of Sedona (02:32) - Spiritual Practices and Healing (05:19) - The Power of Sacred Sites (10:22) - Balancing Rational and Intuitive Minds (18:25) - Kundalini Awakening (22:22) - UFO Encounters and Mystical Experiences (27:18) - Preparing for the Next Cycle of Humanity (27:26) - The Fifth Dimensional Reality (27:56) - The Age of Aquarius and Social Revolution (29:44) - The First Wave of Volunteers and Peace Movement (31:11) - Astrological Alignments and Social Upheaval (32:02) - Government Corruption and Power Struggles (32:50) - The Aquarius Theme and Group Dynamics (35:37) - UFOs and the Role of Star People (38:49) - The Importance of Spiritual Awakening (52:34) - The Role of Love and Compassion (54:45) - The Path to Personal and Global Transformation (55:51) - Conclusion and Final Thoughts How to Contact Rahelio Rodriguez:rahelio.homestead.com www.facebook.com/rahelio   About me:My Instagram: www.instagram.com/guyhlawrence/?hl=en Guy's websites:www.guylawrence.com.au www.liveinflow.co

Many of us experience ego death through psychedelics, but what happens when someone actually dies and returns to share their insights? Kyle Buller, co-founder of Psychedelics Today, had his life transformed at 16 after a traumatic snowboarding accident left him with a profound near-death experience (NDE). In this episode, Kyle shares his journey from navigating his NDE to exploring altered states of consciousness through psychedelics, transpersonal psychology, and Holotropic Breathwork.Kyle and Lana discuss how these extraordinary states can catalyze personal transformation, the critical importance of integration, and why taking time to slow down is essential for practitioners and explorers alike. In the meat of this conversation, they also explore the concept of spiritual emergence, a phenomenon where transformative experiences can lead to personal crises or growth, and how to navigate the fine line between awakening and overwhelm. Together, they examine the responsibility of psychedelic work and the need for cultural frameworks to support those undergoing these profound shifts.Topics Covered:Gaps in the psychedelic education spaceSupporting individuals through different phases of psychedelic workWhy bother having an expanded state of consciousnessHow to make the most out of challenging psychedelic experiencesPumping the breaks on transformational work and grounding into the everydayHow Kyles NDE at age 16 changes his perspective on life and deathSpiritual emergence and emergency: when mystical experiences create crisisCommon symptoms, challenges and experiences during a spiritual emergenceEgo Inflation as Spiritual EmergencyAdvocates of psychedelics need to be honest about the challengesKyle's deeply destabilizing experience with LSD (depersonalization & derealization)Sponsors:Natural Shilajit10% off with LANA10OFFKanna Wellness10% off with LANAShow Links:Vital Psychedelic Training: Learn more herePsychedelics Today Podcast: Visit hereBooks: Spiritual Emergency: When Personal Transformation Becomes a Crisis and The Stormy Search for the Self by Stanislav and Christina GrofSpiritual Emergence as Ego Inflation (Jules Evans article about Sowilo Retreats)

In today's episode we're diving into the world of psychedelics—unpacking Paul's personal experiences and exploring how these substances have profoundly impacted people's lives. Paul shares his journey from a young age experimenting with cannabis and psychedelics to founding the 3rd Wave platform, dedicated to educating and normalizing the use of psychedelics. We discuss the powerful effects of microdosing and how it can offer a sub-perceptual but transformative boost to mental health, creativity, and personal growth. Have you ever wondered if psychedelics could play a role in mental health recovery or even become mainstream like cannabis? The conversation takes an introspective turn as we explore how psychedelics can decondition deeply held beliefs and bring about mystical, even spiritual, experiences. Paul also reveals his father's unexpected journey from skeptic to participant, inspired by Michael Pollan's How to Change Your Mind. Wrapping up, they touch on the evolving legal landscape, the science behind psychedelics, and Paul's work in training practitioners.
