I was so honored to be joined by spiritual teacher and energy healer Eva Müller for a rare, first-hand tour through different states of consciousness. Eva recounts the dissolving of identity in samadhi, the beauty and shock of unity consciousness, the stark emptiness of Brahman, and how unconditional love returns in a new way. We talk about expectations versus reality, why "more expansion" can surface shadow, and what embodiment looks like after big openings. At the end, Eva guides a potent 10-minute meditation that expands your field, clears surface energies, opens the central channel, and calls in a golden light to awaken the divine spark. Bookmark it and return when you want a reset. In this episode: How samadhi dissolves the personal story Unity consciousness and why old fear may surge The Brahman state described from the inside Unconditional love vs human love Practical integration after peak states A guided meditation to stabilize light in daily life Offerings, small-group healings, weekly free meditations, retreats, and 24-7 divine-energy connection.

With the Nintendo Switch 2 officially released and one in-hand, I give my first impressions on what it's like using the console (very sparingly) and why the Switch 2 Pro controller is a noticeable upgrade over the previous model. If that's not enough excitement, I also talk about the recent PlayStation State of Play and the surprising game that stood out to me most--spoilers: it's Shakespearean. Of course, if those topics don't tickle your fancy, there's always what I've been playing, this week with Starlight Legacy, Polterguys: Possession Party, NanoApostle, Detective From The Crypt, Is This Game Trying to Kill Me?, and Mortisomem.
