    Jun 23 2025
    Host: Shanta Generally
    Episode Summary:
    In one of the most powerful, mind-expanding episodes of Authentic Talks 2.0, host Shanta Generally is joined by Chakra Doctor — metaphysical master, spiritual technologist, and the unapologetic author of The Black Cube Codex. This conversation isn’t just information — it’s a frequency meant to wake up your inner God-self and disrupt everything you thought you knew about time, religion, control, and reality itself. We dive into Saturn’s hidden role in shaping the systems of our world — from law to love, money to memory — and how the ancient force known as Set has cloaked itself in many names across history to keep humanity asleep. Whether you’re new to these concepts or already walking a path of awakening, this episode delivers divine downloads, practical activation, and unapologetic truth. Get ready to question everything — and remember who you truly are. Topics Covered:
    • Who (or what) is Saturn… really?
    • The ancient identity of Set and how it evolved into modern control systems
    • How religion, time, money, and even language have been inverted to trap our souls
    • The meaning of "cube-breaking vision" and how to reclaim your power
    • The ANDEMIGEN Magickal Algorithm and how it reawakens divine memory
    • Why this is more than spirituality — it’s liberation
    Featured Book:
    The Black Cube Codex by Chakra Doctor
    A raw, revolutionary exposé that reveals Saturn’s invisible control system and offers a path back to Source, freedom, and true creation. Get your copy here: https://www.chakradoctor.xyz 🎧 Listen if you're ready to:

  • Episode 273 | The Healing We Don’t Talk About, Grief | Guest: Christine Marie Aitchison
    Jun 16 2025

    If you or someone you know has had to go through Grief related to the loss of a loved one crossing over to the other side, this is the episode for you.
    On this week's episode, Shanta is joined by Christine Marie Aitchison.

    In this powerful episode of Authentic Talks 2.0, host Shanta Generally welcomes trauma-informed healer and ceremonial guide Christine Marie Aitchison for a heartfelt conversation on grief, healing, and sacred transformation. Christine Marie opens up about her personal journey—growing up with a father who struggled with heroin addiction, a mother dealing with mental health challenges, and surviving a near-death experience that changed everything. Together, we explore the emotional terrain of loss, trauma, and the healing practices that help us move from pain to empowerment.

    Christine Marie shares insights from her 90-day healing journal, Grieve with Guidance, offering rituals, reflection, and real tools for anyone walking the path of loss and forgiveness. We also talk about the silence around grief, the weight of “not knowing what to say,” and the sacred power of presence.

    This episode is an invitation to heal—authentically, gently, and with grace. Christine Marie will return for a future panel discussion centered around her journal—so stay tuned!
