The Epidemic Of “Sudden Deaths” w/ Ed Dowd #395
05/01/2023 Duration: 01h25minWhat is causing the exponential increase in sudden deaths among individuals in the prime of their lives? Edward Dowd, former leading BlackRock portfolio manager, examines the epidemic of sudden deaths (not linked to c0r0navirus) which began in 2021 with the rollout of national vaxxinations. Throughout Ed’s career in finance he excelled at an elite level in pattern recognition, which propelled him to become one of the most renowned and successful in the world. Early in 2021, he took his data analyst skill set and directed it to examine the drastic uptick in sudden deaths among very fit athletes and other seemingly healthy young people across the country, a phenomenon that is now coined “Sudden Adult Death Syndrome”. His thesis points at the Covid Vaxxines as the causal factor, and he openly invites anyone with an opposing viewpoint to offer an alternate explanation. This is a heavy podcast as each statistic is not merely a number, but a human life. The podcast ends with a message of hope. That regardless of wh

Mapping The Spirit And Our Ancient History w/ Graham Hancock #394
20/12/2022 Duration: 01h43minI’ve been waiting to have a podcast with Graham Hancock for over a decade now, and the timing couldn’t be better! Graham is both an experienced psychonaut as well as a controversial investigative journalist who has put forward convincing evidence of lost civilizations, potentially with advanced spiritual technology and an ominous warning for our time. Graham’s findings point to the likelihood of a major forgotten episode in the human story- a lost advanced civilization that flourished during the ice age, and was almost completely destroyed in a series of cataclysms that brought the ice age to an end. His findings have drawn vicious attacks from both the academic community and liberal media, as they fly in the face of the mainstream scientific narrative. But very few people have dared to actually debate the compelling evidence that he presents in both his books, and the new hit series on Netflix called Ancient Apocalypse. In this exciting and wide ranging podcast, we dive into his body of work while exploring

The Song of Self, Tribe, Humankind, and Cosmos W/ Kyle Kingsbury, Caitlyn Howe, Erick Godsey #393
07/12/2022 Duration: 02h31minThe mystical text of the Fourfold Song of Solomon guides the question: How can we be of greatest service to ourselves, our tribe, humankind, and the cosmos? Caitlyn Howe, Erick Godsey, Kyle Kingsbury and I all give our fresh, uncensored guidance based on what is most alive for us right now. There is incredible utility in approaching these questions (songs) linearly, including and transcending each, until you arrive at the harmony of a greater wholeness. This is one of the most provocative and actionable conversations I have had this year. The song of songs is also our roadmap for the yearlong Fit For Service program in 2023, and if you would like to work with us applications are open here.

Toward A New Story, Vol. 3: WHO ARE YOU, Pt. 2 W/ Marc Gafni #392
04/12/2022 Duration: 03h03minIn Volume 3 of the series Toward A New Story with Dr. Marc Gafni PHD we continue with part 2 of the most fundamental question of our existence. Who Am I? We are at a time in our world, where we need to birth a new story, and there is nobody that I know who has “felt and” thought through what this new story might look like, more than Rabbi Dr. Marc Gafni. How do we respond to the meta crisis of compounding existential threats? The answer that Dr. Marc Gafni PHD gives is that the “root cause of the meta crisis is a global intimacy disorder”. As he puts it “Global Challenges require global coordination which in turn requires global resonance, which in turn requires global intimacy, which can only be sourced in a shared global story of value”. For this very reason, we must articulate a “shared global story of value”. This story. according to a set of compelling teachings by Dr. Gafni’s colleague Dr. Zak Stein, is the “evolutionary love story of the intimate universe”. This claim is not causal, but rat

Return of the Goddess Within W/ Vylana & Blu #387
09/11/2022 Duration: 01h43minWhat kind of world could we create if we balanced our masculine and feminine energy, both collectively and individually?

Medicine women Vylana and Blu join me to talk about the return of the Goddess taking place across the globe, and how Vylana’s new album titled Goddess Rise is an anthem for the return of the feminine.

Overcoming Divide & Rule Corporatocracy w/ Vandana Shiva #386
02/11/2022 Duration: 01h16minWhat is the hidden agenda behind policies and initiatives of corporate run governments? The truth is that the decision making of a select few individuals is negatively impacting the rest of humanity, and is actually threatening the existence of life on this planet. Much of the “efforts” to fix global issues are actually just facades. As Vandana says, “The act of TAKING is hidden by what’s given”. This is the mindset of ‘empire’, which has captured nearly all of our institutions. Vandana Shiva is a physicist, ecologist, activist, and prolific author. She has been fighting on the front lines as a fierce defender of the environment for decades. In this podcast, Vandana delves into the agenda of big pharma, big agriculture, and Bill Gates- we get into the nitty gritty of what the elites are actually doing. We also highlight the positive responses to this agenda, and posit what the more beautiful world to come will look like.

From Dream Chaser To Dream Catcher w/ Ben Nemtin #382
05/10/2022 Duration: 01h39minWhat would happen if you created your bucket list, and actually went for it. Full out. No excuses. Ben Nemtin put this to the test and you won’t believe what he was able to accomplish. This is an absolutely inspiring and motivational podcast, which isn’t that surprising being that Ben Nemtin is one of the top motivational speakers in the world. An amazing storyteller, you’ll be continually surprised by the seemingly impossible things that can actually happen when you fully commit. For example, one of Ben’s bucket list items was playing basketball with president Obama….and it happened. And if those things you wish to accomplish don’t actually come to fruition, at least you’ll know it wasn’t from lack of effort. “Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking” - William Butler Yeats Connect with Ben Nemtin Website | https://www.bennemtin.com/ YouTube | https://bit.ly/3RAmghS Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/bennemtin/?hl=en Twitter | https://twitter.com/BenNemtin This episode is

Sexuality Out of Exile w/ Vylana Marcus | AMP Special
30/09/2022 Duration: 59minVylana and I have been on a quest to unlock the full potential of our sexual expression. On this unabashedly vulnerable podcast, we talk about everything. The truth is that most of us, including Vylana and I had exiled certain aspects of our sexuality. But in doing so, we deny ourselves the birthright to fully engage with life and connect to the divine. In this special bonus episode, we offer an opportunity to explore the inner workings of our intimate relationship. Be sure to check out the release of Vylana’s new single “Out Of Exile”, which explores her own autobiographical journey to reclaim her sexual sovereignty.

Finite Energy And The Great Simplification W/ Nate Hagens #381
28/09/2022 Duration: 02h08minEvery once in a while there is a podcast that fundamentally changes the way that I look at the world. This is one of those podcasts. I realized that I was blind to the very currency of life, technology and progress: Energy. And the cold carbon truth is that we are running out of it. What does that mean for us as a global society? Nate Hagens has dedicated his life to studying this dilemma, and he has determined that the most likely outcome is what he calls The Great Simplification. This is no doomsday prophecy. Our advances in technology (and energy consumption) have not made us any happier according to mental health metrics. Why would we think that EVEN MORE technology is going to work? Perhaps a return to simpler practices and local processes will be an unforeseen emotional boon. But there are immense structural challenges that need to be addressed in a timely manner to prevent famine, drought, and poverty. Nate Hagens is the Director of The Institute for the Study of Energy & Our Future, professor, and

Decoding Hermetic Wisdom W/ Robert Edward Grant #379
14/09/2022 Duration: 02h40minWho was Hermes Trismegistus and what are his teachings? What can we learn today from this esoteric wisdom that withstood the passage of time, kept alive for thousands of years? Polymath Robert Edward Grant is a wealth of wisdom in a great many fields, and today he came on the podcast to explore these very questions. We dive into the seven hermetic principles as described by the Kybalion, one of the great foundational esoteric teachings from whence we source quotes such as ‘As above; So below.’ As well as this deep dive into the Kybalion, Robert decodes other profound esoteric teachings rooted in other ancient sources, such as The Dead Sea Scrolls, The Book Of Enoch, The Emerald Tablets, The Epic Of Gilgamesh, and many other related works.

Commanding The Spells Of Language w/ Laurel Airica #378
07/09/2022 Duration: 02h30min“Control language and you control thought; control thought and you control action; control action and you control the world.” -Peter Kreeft If we understand the secret of language can we harness the almost ‘magical’ nature of words to influence our reality? Most of us overlook how the spelling and sounds created by words might actually be manipulating how we think and act. Laurel Airica is one of those people who has recognized the immense power of language and has dedicated her life to upgrading the codex in order to enhance our collective existence. She is a prolific poet, and it was an absolute delight to be in her presence during the show. Not only are the concepts explored on this podcast mind expanding and beautiful, you will never quite look at language the same again.
