Matthew Sutherlin didn't just struggle with addiction — he was trapped in a darkness he couldn't escape. Raised in the shadow of generational crime, prostitution, and addiction, Matthew's life spiraled into IV meth use, sexual addiction, and deep New Age deception. Searching for freedom, he tried everything — yoga, manifestation, altered states, and radical sexual liberation — but the deeper he went, the more he realized something unsettling. This wasn't just psychological.Something was controlling him.In this raw and honest conversation, Matthew shares how addiction became a doorway into spiritual oppression, how “losing inhibitions” only tightened the grip of darkness, and what it felt like to reach a place where he truly couldn't stop. What followed wasn't religion — it was a personal encounter that changed everything.In this episode, you'll hear:⇨ How generational darkness affected his life in ways he didn't understand at first⇨ Why New Age spirituality and self-mastery failed to bring freedom⇨ The moment God broke through and began restoring what was lost⇨ What real intimacy with Jesus looks like beyond church and belief⇨ And how his wife was later healed from stage-4 cancer after doctors said there was no hopeThis isn't a polished testimony. It's the story of a man who lost everything — and found the One who could actually set him free.If you've ever wondered whether darkness is real…If you've questioned whether addiction is more than habit…Or if you're searching for a God who doesn't just forgive, but delivers — this conversation matters.-------------------------✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give--------------------------✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact--------------------------✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith------------------------------------✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer.✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books.

Support Night Clerk Radio on PatreonOkay class, settle down and bust out your textbooks because in this episode we're digging into Utopian Scholastic. It's the aesthetic of optimistic encyclopedias, multimedia learning, and the sleek, educational graphics that promised a brighter, hyper-informed future. We'll explore how Utopian Scholastic, with its love of Dorling Kindersley and Encarta, shapes our nostalgia for education in the 90s and its natural connection to vaporwave.Outro SampleDiscovery (Virtua Theme) from Virtua by trndytrndyVisual MixesScholastic Exploration

We talk a lot about boundaries, but almost always in the context of protecting ourselves from other people. This episode is about the boundary no one talks about: the one you hold with yourself. I'm diving into containment, which is the ability to feel your emotions fully without discharging them onto someone else, and why lack of containment quietly destroys intimacy, even when you think you're "just being honest." Moreover, I truly believe that every human is capable of emotional regulation, and am pulling apart the idea floating around the New Age / polarity world that men should be the stoic containers for the unbridled rage and emotional expression of women. We'll explore: Why the most important boundaries are self-boundaries How emotional dumping differs from real vulnerability, and examples of the difference between the two Why anxiety, sadness, and fear can be just as uncontained as anger The difference between sharing to connect vs. spilling to feel better How to be raw, honest, and unrehearsed without abandoning responsibility Why containment is a human relational skill - not a gendered one This isn't about suppressing emotions or trying to be nice (which is often dishonesty in disguise.) It's actually an invitation into deeper intimacy, true connection, and allowing your authenicity to shine through in a way that invites others in rather than pushing them away unconsciously. It's about self-leadership, relational safety, and learning how to feel everything without making the people you love pay for it. So much to unpack here! Let's dive in, AND...

Send us a textToday, we pull out a classic episode where we listen to Jac Marino's testimony on her life in the Occult, the New Age, and addiction, and how God delivered her through it. We also talk about what the church can do to reach people in the Occult and the New Age. After being saved out of a past of addiction, the New Age, and the Occult, Jac Marino now shares her journey from despair to freedom through faith in Christ.Support the show
Today on the Logan Blackman Show we react to Patrick Mahomes tearing his ACL and what that could do to the future of the Chiefs and the AFC West. We then go over a rivalry unlike any other, Josh Allen vs random people on social media, discussing what's true and what's not while also talking about his chances of coming home with another MVP. Speaking of MVP we take a look at the current favorite, Matthew Stafford, and discuss what his legacy could look like if he were to win the award as well as where he could rank all time if he and the Rams also come away with another Super Bowl. We then discuss the new age of the NFL Draft process, focusing on quarterbacks such as Jayden Maiava, Darian Mensah, and Brendan Sorsby and how they're going about the process. Finally, we talk about the transfer portal as a whole, preview the first round of the College Football Playoff, and recap the Heisman Trophy results. Enjoy!
How can we understand what is happening today from the perspective of what is sometimes called salvation history? What might be struggling to be born in our times? Why is a spiritual analysis - an unfolding of consciousness - key?The talk was delivered at The School of Myth, “Wild Christ”, weekend with Martin Shaw, Rowan Williams, Heather Pollington and others.I use the insights of Owen Barfield and Rudolf Steiner, to interpret developments across 3000 years of Christianity, given the movement of spirit began a millennia before Christ. I also take their lead on the value of William Blake to perceive the significance of what Blake called a “New Age” emerging now - which we might love, too.My book unpacking Barfield's interpretation of Christianity is “A Secret History of Christianity: Jesus, the Last Inkling and the Evolution of Consciousness”.My book on Blake's prophetic analysis of the dynamics active today is “Awake! William Blake and the Power of the Imagination”.For more see www.markvernon.com

The Genius Method - The Spiritual Entrepreneur's Guide to Instant Authority with Zero Performance
Welcome back to another episode of the podcast! I'm Heike, your host and guide in navigating the New Earth through a Hybrid lens.This episode of By Hybrid Design explores the unmistakable markers of being a Hybrid—and why so many spiritually intelligent leaders have felt out of place, ahead of time, or misdiagnosed within traditional human and New Age frameworks. Heike unpacks the concept of the double mission soul, explaining how early-life amnesia, pattern recognition, intensity, neurodivergence, and rule-breaking aren't flaws to heal, but design features that activate during the second awakening.She shares how endless healing loops, over-identification with the human self, and outdated spiritual structures can stall Hybrid leaders—and why melding the human and galactic parts is now non-negotiable at Earth's 52% ascension rate. This episode reframes traits like intensity, delayed processing, inconsistency, and being “too much” as signals of prophetic, future-oriented leadership.The conversation offers a new lens on productivity, creativity, authority, and timing—inviting Hybrids to stop softening their signal, release survival-based frameworks, and step into leadership built on subtlety, embodiment, and long-range vision. This is an initiation into understanding yourself not as broken or behind, but as precisely calibrated for the New Earth.About MeSpiritual Innovator, Prophetic Psychic, New Earth Innovator & Pure Channel of The Healer Archetypes + Advanced Energy Healing techniques: Becoming Majestic™️.Connect With MeSay hi here—I LOVE hearing from my podcast fam!

This week I'm chatting with the most interesting fashion creator out there, Jay Tibbitts.New York-based Jay has become a real authority on talking about fashion where it's less about opinions and more about facts, statistics and curiosity and what makes him so interesting, especially within the fashion space, is that he's not a creator who simply gushes over collections or churns out instant negative hot takes; instead he embraces curiosity and encourages dialogue.Plus, he has a day job working in social strategy across beauty, tech and hospitality, which gives him this very individual viewpoint on how we use and consume fashion as well as culture in general.If you're a regular listener then you might already have heard Jay making a few appearances in the last episode, number 310, which was my epic SS26 fashion month report. In that episode Jay shared his top show picks from New York, Paris and Milan, but in this episode we dive even deeper into his favourite fashion month moments, and along the way we discuss the more provocative issues that emerged from shows such as Duran Lantink at Jean Paul Gaultier and Pieter Mulier's new vision of Alaïa.We also break down the concept of luxury itself, talk about Matthieu Blazy's Chanel, ask if we still need fashion shows and discuss the prevalence of hot takes from online critics who have no prior knowledge of the fashion industry!LinksFollow Jay at https://www.instagram.com/jaytibbitts/My Substack: https://thecharissereport.substack.comThreads: https://www.threads.net/@charisse_kenion/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charisse_kenion/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@charissekenionCheck out my ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/beautymeBusiness inquiries: info@charissekenion.com

In the 1960s and '70s, yoga teacher–turned–self-proclaimed messiah Anne Hamilton-Byrne built one of Australia's most shocking cults—an LSD-fueled blend of New Age mysticism, stolen children, and her own delusions of divine destiny. With doctors, psychiatrists, and academics convinced she was the Second Coming of Christ, Anne created The Family, a secretive compound where kids endured years of isolation and abuse. Be VERY thankful you're not in this CULT! CULT!

On today's Christmas Day special episodes we bring on Lauren to share her dramatic experiences with demonic entities that posed as “spirit guides” when she was in the New Age religion. They were loving and helpful beings until she started the slow transition to becoming a Christian. She started to experience them becoming more hostile towards her until she was actually possessed by these entities. She shares how this took a toll on her marriage and how her husband had to perform an exorcism on her as these things became more and more invasive in her life.

In this special December treat, featuring kirtan from Jai Uttal, Ram Dass speaks about opening to change and merging with the Beloved.The Ram Dass community gathers regularly to engage in meaningful discussions about the podcast. We invite you to join us and share your curiosities, insights, and wisdom. Sign up for the General Fellowship to receive event invitations directly in your inbox.This episode of Here and Now comes from an event at Spirit Rock Meditation Center on July 31, 2000. Ram Dass begins by exploring how Shiva is the aspect of God that rules over change. He talks about changing our self-concept from identification with our egos to identification with our souls. Devotional chanting, or kirtan, is one way to work on transforming ourselves. Speaking about merging with the Beloved, Ram Dass shares how his relationship with his guru evolved after Neem Karoli Baba left his body. He talks about the place of joy that exists inside all of us. That's the yum-yum place.Jai Uttal takes over and leads a rousing kirtan to connect us all to that yum-yum place. He begins by explaining the chant: “Sita Ram, Sita Ram, Sita Ram, Jai Sita Ram. Sita, the infinite Goddess. Ram, the infinite God. Jai or Jaya, praise or victory.”About Jai Uttal:Jai Uttal is a Grammy-nominated sacred music composer, recording artist, multi-instrumentalist, and ecstatic vocalist. Having traveled extensively in India, he met many great saints and singers, and Bhakti Yoga became his personal path. Jai has been leading, teaching, and performing kirtan around the world for nearly 50 years. He creates a safe environment for people to open their hearts and voices. Kirtan Camp with Jai Uttal starts on January 25, 2026. Nurture the seeds of love and take a journey into the healing power of sound. Sign up now.About Ram Dass:Ram Dass's spirit has been a guiding light for generations, carrying millions along on the journey. Ram Dass teaches that through the Bhakti practice of unconditional love, we can all connect with our true nature. Through these teachings, Ram Dass has shared a little piece of his guru, Maharaj-ji, with all who have listened to him. Learn more at ramdass.org.“You know those cherries, chocolate-covered cherries? They're like hard on the outside, but they're soft and yum, yum, yum inside. We are just chocolate-covered cherries. That's all we are. And that yum, yum, yum, yum, that's the joy, that's the bhakti. Yum, yum, yum, yum. Because we meet each other in the yum-yum place.” – Ram DassSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
One of the most troubling aspects of cult dynamics is the way they generate self‑reinforcing histories that can become chaotic and fragmented, leaving individuals disoriented within the broader narrative. We need knowledgeable guides who can help us navigate these stories while providing a grounding in their historical context. I wrote Chapter Three of my book, The Cult of Trump, about the parallels with Jones, Moon, and Hubbard. Don Lattin, this week's podcast guest, concurred, though he personally likened Trump more closely in his mind to Jim Jones, whose leadership culminated in the historic tragedy at Jonestown. Lattin is a long-established and award-winning religion reporter. His work has been published in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The San Francisco Chronicle. Both of us agreed that Trump exhibits traits of malignant narcissism and appears to be steering the United States toward escalating threats and harms. The MAGA movement itself is a cult, is led by cults, and has demented authoritarian leadership written all over it. Don Lattin is a journalist who has specialized in writing about religions, cults, psychedelic history, cultural norms, and other fascinating topics since the 1970s. He's written seven books, including Jesus Freaks – a True Story of Murder and Madness on the Evangelical Edge and Changing Our Minds: Psychedelic Sacraments and the New Psychotherapy. He is also the author of The Harvard Psychedelic Club: How Timothy Leary, Ram Dass, Huston Smith, and Andrew Weil Killed the Fifties and Ushered in a New Age for America. I had the great pleasure of listening to his Substack channel recently and am honored to bring him on for an episode of Cults, Culture & Coercion. Learn more about your ad choices.

All tech is witchcraft…until it isn't. Today, we're talking to Sam Ransbotham, AI editor at MIT Sloan Management Review and host of the Me, Myself, and AI podcast. We discuss why 76% of executives now view AI as a coworker rather than a tool, how healthcare privacy laws from 1996 can't handle modern AI capabilities, and why cheaper coding will create more programming jobs instead of eliminating them. All of this right here, right now, on the Modern CTO Podcast! Thank you to Digital Ocean for sponsoring this episode.

As Hanukkah begins, let's explore this beautiful holiday which most Christians (including myself) don't know from a Biblical and historical perspective. In this episode, we'll explore the powerful and often overlooked message of Hanukkah—not as a holiday on the fringes of faith, but as a deeply prophetic and personal invitation for women to rededicate what the world has tried to ruin.If you've ever felt burned out, worn down, or like your faith has been invaded by spiritual confusion or cultural compromise, this episode is for you. I take you through the historical and prophetic backdrop of Hanukkah, including how it connects to the Book of Daniel, how Jesus honored it in the Gospel of John, and why its themes of dedication, light, and holy resistance speak directly to modern women.From the miracle of the oil to the cleansing of the desecrated Temple, this episode is filled with biblical truth, historical insight, and soul-deep reflection. I also share how this message intersects with my own journey—especially the season when I tried to blend Christian language with New Age practices and ended up spiritually exhausted.Together, we'll talk about what it means to:Reclaim your sacred groundOffer God your “small oil” when it feels like you have nothing leftBecome a vessel of His light instead of trying to perform for approvalLet go of spiritual counterfeits and rededicate your soul to GodIf this episode helped you rededicate part of your life to God or see Hanukkah in a whole new light, would you take 30 seconds to leave a quick review? Your reviews help The Illuminated Woman podcast reach more women who are ready to reclaim truth and walk in holy clarity.The Illuminated Connection Call is a free conversation where we talk heart to heart—no pressure, no agenda. I'd love to hear what's on your heart, where you are in your life and spiritual journey, and what you're sensing God may be stirring in you. Whether you're just beginning to question the New Age path, exploring Biblical truth, are already living a God-led life, or simply feeling lost and unsure—this space is for you.

We're back with Part 2 of our deep dive into Helena Blavatsky—the controversial, chaotic, and endlessly woo woo founder of modern occultism. In this episode, we follow Madame Blavatsky's journey to America, where she teams up with Henry Steele Olcott and steps fully into her era as a spiritualism celebrity. From the founding of Theosophy to her many scandals, disputed “miracles,” and the wild amount of cultural appropriation baked into her work, we're unpacking the messy, fascinating legacy that shaped New Age spirituality, occult history, and the modern mystic movement. If you've ever wondered how one woman became the blueprint for so much 19th-century spiritualism—for better and worse—this episode has you covered.

In this episode of The Illuminated Woman, we're diving deep into 1 Timothy chapters 1–3 — and what they reveal about living a sincere, Spirit-led life in a culture obsessed with visibility, influence, and spiritual performance. Whether you've had a platform or simply lead in your home, this message is for the woman who longs to walk in quiet strength, spiritual maturity, and God-honoring purpose.I share how the Apostle Paul's letter to Timothy speaks to modern women navigating curated social media feeds, charismatic false teachers, and the confusion of “truths” offered by New Age and self-help movements. We explore modesty, character, reverence, and why God's design for women isn't outdated — it's a call to something deeper, freer, and more beautiful.If you've ever felt unseen, misunderstood, or unsure where you fit in the church… or if you've been disillusioned by loud voices that lacked love — this episode will meet you right where you are and remind you that sincere faith still matters.What you'll learn in this episode:Why sound doctrine is an act of loveWhat modesty truly means (hint: it's about the posture of your heart, not just your clothing)The seductive influence of the Artemis cult in Ephesus — and its eerie parallels with modern-day feminine “spirituality”Why “good works” don't earn you salvation but reveal who you're walking withWhat Biblical leadership really looks like — even if you're never on a stageHow sincere women are the backbone of the church — not just the ones with microphonesWhy intercession matters and how to stand in the gap through prayerA redemptive reframing of passages often used to silence or shame women*Note* I misspoke at one point. I referenced 1 Timothy 3:13 when I meant to reference 1 Timothy 3:15. The Illuminated Connection Call is a free conversation where we talk heart to heart—no pressure, no agenda. I'd love to hear what's on your heart, where you are in your life and spiritual journey, and what you're sensing God may be stirring in you. Whether you're just beginning to question the New Age path, exploring Biblical truth, are already living a God-led life, or simply feeling lost and unsure—this space is for you.

Rob Ashton returns to unpack what AI is really doing to our writing and our brains. We explore why so much communication advice still rests on shaky pseudoscience, how AI can help us write better, and where it quietly makes us worse.Rob explains why human connection still matters more than ever, even as tools get smarter, and why “more information” often means less understanding. We also push into some uncomfortable territory: Is AI making us more productive, or simply flooding the world with text nobody reads?Along the way, we touch on the analog writing movement, why radical competency matters in the age of automation, and how to use AI creatively without letting it steal your thinking.If you care about writing, communication, or how technology shapes what we believe, this one's worth your time.Connect with RobRobAshton.comEmphasisLinkedInTwitter/XSubstackMentionedObsidianMeditations for Mortals: Four Weeks to Embrace Your Limitations and Make Time for What Counts Previous AppearancesNavigating the New Age of Generative Tech with Rob AshtonThe Invisible Medium with Rob Ashton
John Collins and McKinnon continue their in-depth exploration into William Branham's “Adoption” doctrine and its influence on modern charismatic movements. They expose how Branham's teaching of a “word for the age” replaced salvation through faith in Christ with loyalty to new revelation. Drawing direct lines from Branham to the New Apostolic Reformation, they analyze how a theology rooted in mysticism, pantheism, and esoteric thought evolved into the cultic systems seen today. The discussion compares scriptural truth with Branham's distortions, examines the idolization of tapes and prophets, and reveals how persuasive charisma led countless believers to substitute emotional fervor for biblical faith.00:00 Introduction and Purpose of the Episode00:32 How Branham's “Word for the Age” Replaced the Gospel02:25 Cultic Authority and Fear of Outside Information05:20 Doctrinal Problems: Diminishing Christ and Changing the Gospel07:01 Tape-Only Churches and Movement-Wide Confusion10:40 Internal Message Criticism: A Minister Challenges Tape Worship13:25 Emotional Manipulation and the Power of Persuasion17:03 “Not Every Word Is Thus Saith the Lord”: Rising Internal Doubt20:55 Infallibility Contradictions in Branham's Teachings23:17 The Shift Toward Mysticism and Pre-Existence Doctrine29:56 Platonic and New Thought Roots Behind Branham's Ideas35:51 Blending Ancient Mysticism With Christianity38:18 A Different Gospel: Recognition Theology and Loss of Biblical Salvation44:00 Modalism in the Message and the Denial of Christ's Deity51:01 Closing Thoughts and Preview of Next Episode______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K______________________– Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham– Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBSpezVG15TVG-lOYMRXuyQ– Visit the website: https://william-branham.org– Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WilliamBranhamOrg – Follow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@william.m.branham– Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/wmbhr– Buy the books: https://william-branham.org/site/books
Welcome to SuperFreq® — Frequency-First LivingA podcast, Substack publication + channel dedicated to decoding the hidden patterns beneath behavior, identity, and reality itself. Through frequency, form, and field—we explore how to rewire the nervous system, reclaim coherence, and build the next evolution of human architecture.2026: The Two Operating Systems of Reality — Why Timelines Don't Split, Nervous Systems DoIn this episode, Talíyah breaks down one of the most misunderstood ideas in modern spirituality and New Age culture: the myth of “timeline splits.” Through a Quantum Psychosomatics lens, she shows why reality doesn't fracture into separate Earths—perception does.We explore the emergence of two distinct nervous-system operating systems:Organic Architecture — a regulated, intuitive, source-aligned perception system that creates reality from the inside out.Synthetic Architecture — a survival-coded, externally regulated system shaped by pattern repetition, algorithmic entrainment, and threat-based perception.You'll learn what Nervous-System-Based Perception (NSBP) is, how it shapes your lived reality before your mind even interprets it, and why 2026 amplifies the divergence between these architectures.This episode is a forensic look at how identity, memory, capacity, and nervous system truth determine the “world” you think you're living in—and why those who've done the inner work will finally begin to exhale.If you've felt like you're inhabiting a different reality than the people around you, this conversation will explain exactly why.Stay Connected //IG: @superfreq.co // @whoistaliyahSubstack: SUPERFREQ® | Frequency-First Living™ > taliyahverse.substack.comWebsite: taliyahverse.com
In this conversation, Stewart Alsop sits down with Ken Lowry to explore a wide sweep of themes running through Christianity, Protestant vs. Catholic vs. Orthodox traditions, the nature of spirits and telos, theosis and enlightenment, information technology, identity, privacy, sexuality, the New Age “Rainbow Bridge,” paganism, Buddhism, Vedanta, and the unfolding meaning crisis; listeners who want to follow more of Ken's work can find him on his YouTube channel Climbing Mount Sophia and on Twitter under KenLowry8.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Christianity's tangled history surfaces as Stewart Alsop and Ken Lowry unpack Luther, indulgences, mediation, and the printing-press information shift.05:00 Luther's encounters with the devil lead into talk of perception, hallucination, and spiritual influence on “main-character” lives.10:00 Protestant vs. Catholic vs. Orthodox worship styles highlight telos, Eucharist, liturgy, embodiment, and teaching as information.15:00 The Church as a living spirit emerges, tied to hierarchy, purpose, and Michael Levin's bioelectric patterns shaping form.20:00 Spirits, goals, Dodgers-as-spirit, and Christ as the highest ordering spirit frame meaning and participation.25:00 Identity, self, soul, privacy, intimacy, and the internet's collapse of boundaries reshape inner life.30:00 New Age, Rainbow Bridge, Hawkins' calibration, truth-testing, and spiritual discernment enter the story.35:00 Stewart's path back to Christianity opens discussion of enlightenment, Protestant legalism, Orthodox theosis, and healing.40:00 Emptiness, relationality, Trinity, and personhood bridge Buddhism and mystical Christianity.45:00 Suffering, desire, higher spirits, and orientation toward the real sharpen the contrast between simulation and reality.50:00 Technology, bodies, AI, and simulated worlds raise questions of telos, meaning, and modern escape.55:00 Neo-paganism, Hindu hierarchy of gods, Vedanta, and the need for a personal God lead toward Jesus as historical revelation.01:00:00 Buddha, enlightenment, theosis, the post-1945 world, Hitler as negative pole, and goodness as purpose close the inquiry.Key InsightsMediation and information shape the Church. Ken Lowry highlights how the printing press didn't just spread ideas—it restructured Christian life by shifting mediation. Once information became accessible, individuals became the “interface” with Christ, fundamentally changing Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox trajectories and the modern crisis of religious choice.The Protestant–Catholic–Orthodox split hinges on telos. Protestantism orients the service around teaching and information, while Catholic and Orthodox traditions culminate in the Eucharist, embodiment, and liturgy. This difference expresses two visions of what humans are doing in church: receiving ideas or participating in a transformative ritual that shapes the whole person.Spirits, telos, and hierarchy offer a map of reality. Ken frames spirits as real intelligible goals that pull people into coordinated action—seen as clearly in a baseball team as in a nation. Christ is the highest spirit because aiming toward Him properly orders all lower goals, giving a coherent vertical structure to meaning.Identity, privacy, and intimacy have transformed under the internet. The shift from soul → self → identity tracks changes in information technology. The internet collapses boundaries, creating unprecedented exposure while weakening the inherent privacy of intimate realities such as genuine lovemaking, which Ken argues can't be made public without destroying its nature.New Age influences and Hawkins' calibration reflect a search for truth. Stewart's encounters with the Rainbow Bridge world, David Hawkins' muscle-testing epistemology, and the escape from scientistic secularism reveal a cultural hunger for spiritual discernment in the absence of shared metaphysical grounding.Enlightenment and theosis may be the same mountain. Ken suggests that Buddhist enlightenment and Orthodox theosis aim at the same transformative reality: full communion with what is most real. The difference lies in Jesus as the concrete, personal revelation of God, offering a relational path rather than pure negation or emptiness.Secularism is shaped by powerfully negative telos. Ken argues that the modern world orients itself not toward the Good revealed in Christ but away from the Evil revealed in Hitler. Moving away from evil as a primary aim produces confusion, because only a positive vision of the Good can order desires, technology, suffering, and the overwhelming power of modern simulations.
Escaping the New Age Trap & Seeking Authenticity with Laura Shamanic Self This episode dives into a hard, unvarnished conversation about spiritual authenticity, deception, and the traps people fall into when they first break away from organized religion or mainstream narratives. Ryan opens by reflecting on how questioning everything can be liberating but also destabilizing, especially when old belief systems collapse and the alternatives—New Age teachings, "gurus," channelers, star-seed mythologies, and spiritual authority figures—often carry their own hidden agendas. He emphasizes his commitment to staying open, critical, and self-interrogating, even when perspectives clash, and he acknowledges that not every spiritual experience or teacher is fraudulent—there are glimpses of genuine love, beauty, and authenticity worth fighting for. Laura, founder of Shamanic Self, joins the show to break down her journey out of the New Age movement and explain why she believes much of it is a sophisticated trap. She discusses how people awakening to deeper truths often get funneled directly into another belief system that feeds their ego, siphons their energy, and pushes them toward external entities, "guides," and false cosmologies rather than their own inner knowing. Laura describes the years she spent following prominent New Age figures, the moment her life collapsed under their guidance, and how that crisis ultimately became her exit ramp. She outlines her current approach to intuitive work, one built on inner discernment, rejecting external "guides," and avoiding anything she sees as astral interference or AI-like deception. The conversation goes deep into metaphysics, soul contracts, resets, the nature of consciousness, why certain public spiritual figures may be controlled opposition, and how to navigate a world distorted by misinformation and hijacked belief systems. Despite clear disagreements, both maintain a grounded respect for one another's perspectives. The episode ends with a shared commitment to seeking truth, staying sovereign, and not surrendering personal power to any system claiming to have all the answers. WEBSITE: https://www.shamanicself.com/ ---------------- Takeaways include" Many people escaping religion fall directly into another trap—the New Age—because it appears liberating while quietly redirecting power away from the individual. Authentic spiritual insight requires discipline, inner work, and the ability to distinguish intuition from astral manipulation or external influence. Not all "gurus," psychics, or channelers are malicious, but many deliver harmful guidance, feed ego, or operate as controlled narratives. Sovereignty comes from grounding in personal intuition, not outsourcing authority to entities, guides, movements, or ideologies. Even within a world filled with deception, personal experiences of love, beauty, and genuine connection remain proof that not everything is corrupted—and those glimpses are worth defending. ---------------- Shamanic Self, spiritual authenticity, New Age deception, inner sovereignty, discernment, shamanic practice, matrix reality, astral interference, soul contracts, awakening, controlled opposition

He then gives a brief recap of his journey in life and how he was eventually drawn towards Eastern writings and teachings.Ram Dass talks about embracing Buddhist practices and his spiral path of bouncing back and forth between being in retreat and being in the marketplace of life.

Ex-Psychic Saved: Exposing Divination, New Age, and the Occult
Ex-psychic Jenn Nizza, who regularly speaks on the spiritual dangers of the occult, is warning about the growing prevalence of “manifesting” within the church. “It's infiltrating the church,” Jenn Nizza proclaims on this episode of the “Ex-Psychic Saved Podcast,” noting she embraced manifesting when she worked as a medium. “I fell into it and started believing it, and then I taught it as well.” Manifesting, which the New Age movement calls the law of attraction, is essentially the belief people can will or make certain things happen in their lives. As Crosswalk notes, “It is the belief that positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative experiences into your life. It says that thoughts are energy; and energy can attract similar energies to itself because there is an attractive magnetic pattern to the universe.”Nizza sat down with Emily Massey of WeWouldRatherHaveJesus.com, to discuss this issue and its presence within Christian circles and to warn that the “name it and claim it” mentality amounts to “idolatry.” Massey noted culture is dominated by crystals and other tools that mainstream this type of spiritual practice. As for her own experience in the Word of Faith movement, she said there was an intense focus on the power of words.“For me, as far as the practice was concerned, everything came back to not only the positive thinking … but it goes beyond that to where it affects your speech,” she explained of her own past experience with manifesting. “You have to guard your speech … you must … speak out these positive, what they would call confessions.”It all came down to not “sowing” negative words, believing these words would have a certain power after being spoken.“It's that whole — ‘Don't, don't, don't speak it, don't claim it … we have to be careful with our words because they can be manifest into reality,'” Massey said.She took aim at these ideologies, noting the idea people could “manifest” something into reality “is not biblical faith.”“Biblical faith is solely trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ,” Massey said. “We believe in the Gospel, we believe in the finished work of the cross, and we believe the words of Christ and the word of God, and that is what we put our faith in Christ.”But she said others in these movements “distort the definition of faith to mean ‘a force.'” Listen to the conversation.FOLLOW JENN NIZZA:- Follow Jenn on Instagram- Follow Jenn on TikTok- Follow Jenn on YouTube- Get Jenn's books
When AI robots start landing like superheroes, China rolls out combat-ready humanoids, and a surveillance screen at Skinwalker Ranch morphs into the words “I LIVING,” you know it's getting weird. In this Slingshot Nation Live replay, I break down the rise of AI house robots and military humanoids, what happens when tech is wired to the cloud and allowed to learn from our lives, and why this all feels a lot less “cool future” and a lot more dystopian prophecy. From Black Friday chaos to boycotts, Stranger Things, Dark, and the spiritual cost of a world built on subscriptions and smart machines, we're asking: what happens when the devices stop serving us and start serving something else? Then we get into the clip from the Shawn Ryan Show where Brandon Fugal describes Eric Bard's encounter at Skinwalker Ranch—the security system glitching, the screen melting, and the phrase “I LIVING” appearing in direct response to his verbal demand. I walk through why this fits the biblical category of principalities and second-heaven entities, not “friendly advanced intelligence,” and how it ties into this week's talk about the Dark Window and the partial Schumann Resonance blackout. Did you feel off—tired, anxious, glitchy, or strangely bold—during that window? We talk about frequencies, CERN, portals, spiritual warfare, and why the supernatural worldview of the Bible explains more of this than any New Age timeline-shift language ever will. If you like these deep dives into AI, the supernatural, Skinwalker Ranch, frequencies, and spiritual warfare, hit like, subscribe, drop your thoughts in the comments, and share this with someone who's paying attention to how weird things are getting.

In this episode, we dive into the chaotic, controversial, and extremely entertaining life of Helena Blavatsky — the 19th-century mystic, world traveler, occult celebrity, and eventual co-founder of the Theosophical Society. But before she became the founder (grifter?) of a major spiritual movement, she was just a kooky little girl born into the Russian aristocracy with a flair for folklore, drama, and telling everyone she could talk to ghosts. Whether you know her as a spiritual icon, a fraud, or the original chaos witch of the Victorian era, this episode explores the myths, scandals, astral projections, and truly unhinged adventures that shaped the occult revival, Victorian spiritualism, esoteric philosophy, and the early New Age movement. If you're into messy historical women, occult weirdness, or “Ma'am, what are you doing?” energy… welcome home.

Linda Hazzard - self-proclaimed “fasting specialist” and actual sadistic fraud - ran one of the most disturbing medical scams in American history. At her Washington State sanitarium, later nicknamed “Starvation Heights,” she starved countless patients under the guise of curing everything from aches and pains to cancer.

Dicen que existen “carreteras invisibles” que conectan templos, megalitos e iglesias. Antiguos canales de energía que las viejas civilizaciones trazaron para orientarse… o quizá para algo más. Alfred Watkins, en su libro The Old Straight Track (1925), propuso la teoría de estas alineaciones rectas entre hitos del paisaje británico. Aunque la arqueología y el análisis escéptico, sin embargo, las consideran coincidencias cartográficas sin evidencia física medible, con los años, el misterio mutó y creció exponencialmente: de ser mapa de anticuario al imaginario colectivo del new age de “energías telúricas”.
