As You Wish Talk Radio with James Gilliland End of Tyranny, Chemtrails, Life, Before Adam and Eve, Jesus the Real Message The Inner God Spark, Hidden Control, and the Call to Rise Above Division Returning From Illness Into a Warning About Control In this episode of As You Wish Talk Radio, host James Gilliland returns after what he describes as a bout with “chemtrail flu” and frames the show around illness, targeting, spiritual warfare, and hidden systems of control. He introduces a video from a presenter identified in the transcript as possibly Bridgette Forteague of Light on Liberty, saying the video lays a foundation for the rest of the episode. The video presents “The Secret Covenant,” a conspiracy-oriented text describing an alleged elite plan to poison, weaken, distract, divide, and control humanity through food, water, air, medicine, media, money, religion, fear, war, and debt. The Secret Covenant and the Architecture of Enslavement The video segment describes a hidden ruling group that allegedly uses science, technology, poisons, entertainment, government, media, economic systems, and social division to keep people weak and unaware. It claims that heavy metals, sedatives, aging accelerators, corrupted food and water, medical systems, consumer distraction, debt, and engineered conflict are used to keep humanity divided and dependent. The narrator concludes that awareness breaks the spell, arguing that once people recognize the system's methods, they can build lives outside of it and stop feeding the structures designed to control them. Chemtrails, Poisoned Systems, and Social Engineering James uses the video as a launching point for his own discussion of what he says are poisoned air, water, land, food supplies, vaccines, biological agents, weather warfare, and engineered sickness. He claims chemtrails contain heavy metals, graphene, nanoparticles, neurotoxins, biologicals, and other harmful substances, and he connects these claims to illness, dying trees, failing crops, dead fawns, fog events, hurricanes, tornadoes, and what he calls the “real war” overhead. He argues that people are participating in their own enslavement by continuing to support systems that, in his view, want humanity sick, impoverished, divided, or dead. Ancient History, Star Colonies, and the Suppressed Feminine The episode then moves into James's account of ancient and extraterrestrial history. He discusses alleged off-world colonies, underground civilizations, Sumerian tablets, primordial gods and goddesses, Anunnaki, Enki, Ninhursag, Mami, the Adam Kadmon seed, Yahweh, Asherah, Adam and Eve, Enoch, and ancient flood narratives. He emphasizes that earlier traditions included masculine and feminine divine pairs and argues that later patriarchal systems, governments, religions, and Rome suppressed the feminine and distorted the teachings of Jesus. He also references teachings attributed to Yeshua ben Joseph that locate the temple in the heart rather than in external religious structures. Personal Connection, Universal Law, and the Danger of False Teachers James repeatedly urges listeners to stop giving their power away to external authorities, gurus, teachers, religions, or spiritual personalities who do not lead people inward to their own direct connection with Creator, God, Great Spirit, or the Most High. He warns against people who claim special status, gather followers, exploit wounds, create dependency, or present themselves as uniquely chosen. For James, authentic spirituality empowers each person's own soul purpose, while false teaching feeds on ignorance, trauma, jealousy, competition, and the need for external approval. Division, Projection, Karma, and the Rising Frequencies A major theme of the episode is that division is the tool of oppressors. James names race, color, religion, gender, spiritual competition, gossip, jealousy, victimhood, and ideological conflict as ways people are kept fragmented. He says unity is the “kryptonite” of the controllers and that love, joy, bliss, universal peace, brother-sister love, individual freedom, and prosperity for all are the principles of universal law. He also says waves of solar, energetic, and consciousness-based change are accelerating karma, exposing false motives, and bringing unresolved wounds, traumas, wrong conclusions, and attachments to the surface for healing. Sky-Watch, UFO Activity, and the Closing Call to Go Within The later portion shifts into a cleaned sky-watch/video segment, with James and participants reacting to lights, ships, fleets, the space station, Starlink, planes, and what they describe as UFO activity over the ranch. They comment on objects powering up, crossing, flashing, moving in groups, and interacting near aircraft or the space station. The episode closes by returning to James's core message: keep an open mind, a loving heart, and pure intent; stop participating in division and external worship programs; get grounded in nature; listen to inner guidance through the heart; and focus on love, joy, and bliss while being kind to each other and the planet.

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine offer a different way to understand the body, especially when it comes to chronic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, stress, digestion, anxiety, inflammation, nervous system dysregulation, and unexplained symptoms.In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with  Dr. Jordan Barber, clinician, educator, published researcher, licensed acupuncturist, and author of Thinking in Chinese Medicine: A Patient's Guide to Acupuncture, Herbs, and Healing, for a grounded conversation about what Chinese medicine actually is, why it has been misunderstood in the West, and how it can help us see chronic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, stress, symptoms, and whole-body health through a more connected lens.Together, they explore why Chinese medicine is not just acupuncture, herbs, or “energy work,” but a way of thinking. Dr. Barber explains how Traditional Chinese Medicine looks at the whole person, including sleep, digestion, emotions, stress, relationships, movement, pain patterns, and the way someone experiences life. He also breaks down how the word qi became simplified into “energy,” why that translation can be misleading, and why Chinese medicine is often more practical, physiological, and science-informed than many people realize.Dr. Barber shares his own path into Chinese medicine after working in IT, living through 9/11 in New York City, and experiencing chronic health issues that conventional care did not resolve. After trying acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and dietary changes, he saw a major improvement in his recurring sinus issues and began to understand health through a completely different framework.If you're listening to this and thinking, “My symptoms feel connected, but no one is helping me connect the dots,” join the Circle here:

What happens when the womb is treated as separate from the rest of women's health? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Dr. Kemi Doll, double board-certified gynecologic oncologist, equity scientist, researcher, coach, and author of A Terrible Strength: The Hidden Crisis of the Black Womb and Your Survival Guide to Healing, for a powerful conversation about womb health, uterine cancer, fibroids, HRT, health equity, and why so many women are still being taught to normalize symptoms that deserve care.Together, they explore why womb health is not only about pregnancy, fertility, or menopause, but a lifelong part of women's physical, emotional, hormonal, and whole-body health. Dr. Doll shares how her grandmother's death in childbirth, her mother's near-death experience, and her own work as a gynecologic cancer surgeon shaped her mission to bring the uterus back into the center of women's health.Dr. Taz and Dr. Doll also discuss why uterine cancer is rising, why Black women are twice as likely to die after a uterine cancer diagnosis, and how gaps in research, screening, and diagnostic tools may leave women of color especially vulnerable. They unpack the role of ultrasound, endometrial thickness, post-menopausal bleeding, and why women need clearer conversations with their providers when something feels off.This conversation also takes a closer look at the explosion of hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, and the questions every woman with a uterus should be asking. Dr. Doll explains why estrogen without proper progesterone protection can increase uterine cancer risk, why some women may not understand the role progesterone plays, and why monitoring the uterus matters when using hormones.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here:

In this episode, I'm sharing one of the simplest shifts I've made in my bakery that has had a surprisingly powerful impact—and it has nothing to do with my bread, my menu, or anything I've purchased. It's a small, intentional marketing practice that's helped me build stronger relationships with my customers and create an experience that keeps people coming back. I want you to think about the places you love to visit and why you go out of your way for them. Most of the time, it's not just about the product—it's about how you feel when you're there. That feeling of being known, seen, and genuinely welcomed is something we have the unique ability to create in our micro bakeries.We talk about how this simple approach can become one of your most powerful retention strategies, especially in a world where most transactions feel impersonal and rushed. I walk you through how I've been implementing this in my own bakery, even though it doesn't come naturally to me, and how you can apply it whether you're baking from home, running a pickup model, or selling at a market. This isn't about adding more to your plate—it's about using what you already have in a more intentional way to build real connection, strengthen your community, and grow your business in a way that actually feels meaningful.Resources:Join us at the Bread Winner Summit! http://carolinebower.com/breadwinnersummitGet the Bread Winner Business Alignment Journal: https://carolinebower.com/journalGrab the Profit & Pricing Calculator: Simplify the math, clarify your margins, and confidently price your products. https://carolinebower.com/calculator Follow me on Instagram for more microbakery tips: @carolinebower_sourdoughFind links to all of my sourdough microbakery favorites including packaging, pans, and more! www.carolinebower.com/linksDownload the FREE Guide and Checklist, Your First Steps to a Successful In-Home Bakery at https://www.carolinebower.com/checklist to begin building YOUR thriving microbakery!

Let's travel for a moment. Imagine you are on the shore of the Black Sea, in Odesa—one of the most beautiful cities in Eastern Europe. Odesa possesses multiple identities and refuses to be trapped by a single definition. It is Jewish, French, Italian, Ukrainian, Crimean Tatar, Romanian, Moldovan, Greek, Bulgarian, and more. Both the Russian and Soviet empires sought to flatten this multiplicity into a single imperial identity. They failed. Today, in an act of resentment, Russia is attempting to destroy Odesa. Missiles and drones fall upon its historic center, a site of UNESCO World Heritage. Meanwhile, Odesa is seeking a new identity. It is a work in progress—not yet fully formed—which makes the city incredibly vibrant and, in many ways, still misunderstood. *** This is the “Explaining Ukraine” podcast. Host: Volodymyr Yermolenko, a Ukrainian philosopher, chief editor of UkraineWorld, and president of PEN Ukraine. Guest: Julian Evans, a British-Australian journalist, writer, traveler, and filmmaker.

Jeff Strong worked nearly 30 years in the consumer products industry as a senior executive at Procter & Gamble and global president and chief customer officer at Johnson & Johnson. He then taught in the Marriott School of Business at Brigham Young University and worked as an advisor to the Church before serving as a mission leader in the Arkansas Bentonville Mission. Jeff has since spent several years doing research on why people are leaving the Church. He recently published the book Torn: Why People We Love Are Leaving the Church and What We Can Learn from Them. Jeff lives in Midway, Utah, and stays busy with a little lavender farm, some business consulting, and enjoying family.

Personal Connection: Jeff shares his personal journey of grappling with his son’s disaffiliation, highlighting the emotional impact and the need for a deeper understanding of why individuals leave the church. Research Findings: Jeff’s research indicates that approximately 40% of active members have disaffiliated since 2000, with various reasons categorized into “waves,” including lifestyle challenges and deeper faith crises. Cultural Dynamics: The discussion emphasizes the importance of recognizing the cultural pressures within the church that may lead to feelings of depletion rather than spiritual fulfillment for some members. Engagement vs. Disaffiliation: While many active members report strong engagement and purpose, a significant portion of young adults are less affiliated with organized religion, indicating a complex relationship with faith. Leadership Applications Fostering Understanding: Leaders can benefit from understanding the reasons behind disaffiliation to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for those struggling with their faith. Encouraging Open Dialogue: By promoting open conversations about faith challenges, leaders can help bridge the gap between those who feel fulfilled in their faith and those who are struggling. Addressing Cultural Pressures: Leaders should be aware of the cultural dynamics that may lead to feelings of depletion among members and work to create a more nurturing and understanding community that supports individual spiritual journeys.

In coaching an actor this week, I was struck again by what feels obvious—and yet is so often missed: the actor must find a personal connection to the circumstances, or the character's conflict never becomes a lived experience.

She discovered her breast density category was higher than she initially thought. The importance of being informed about breast cancer and treatment options. Surgery day was a long process, but she felt cared for by her medical team. Understanding the different types of breast cancer is crucial for treatment decisions. Mastectomy options include lumpectomy, single, or double mastectomy. The decision-making process is highly individual and influenced by personal circumstances. Efficiency in treatment was a significant factor for Dr. Beverly. Reconstruction options vary and can be tailored to individual needs. Community support and storytelling play a vital role in healing.  Recovery from surgery can be a complex decision-making process. Choosing between implants and going flat involves weighing personal desires and risks. Understanding the different reconstruction options is crucial for informed decisions.

Early detection of breast cancer can lead to better treatment options. Patient advocacy is essential in navigating healthcare decisions. Women should be proactive about their health screenings. Storytelling can effectively communicate important health messages. Support systems play a vital role in recovery.

Welcome to episode 323 of Grow Your Law Firm, hosted by Ken Hardison. In this episode, Ken is joined by Phil Kesler, owner of MacCloskey Kesler and Associates. Phil shares how his firm evolved from relying heavily on television advertising to building a predictable, stable pipeline driven by grassroots marketing, referrals, and long-term brand relationships.
