Today it's just me. No guest, no interview — just some things I've been sitting with that I needed to get out. I talk about burdens and what they actually do to you energetically, physically, and mentally — how they suppress your consciousness, stifle your intelligence, and keep your frequency from rising. I also get into what it feels like to exist at a high frequency versus where I am right now, which honestly is one of the hardest places I've been in a while. I share a wild experience I had in 2019 after my hysterectomy where I went through a dark awakening, heard a voice in my mind I thought was my soul, and ended up waiting at gas stations for Tom Cruise to pick me up — and what I learned from all of it. I also talk about living in a virtual reality, feeling alone in what I know to be true, and the decision that I believe is responsible for every ability and privilege I have today. This one is raw and real. Also — if you've ever wanted to support the podcast, now would be a really good time.

Today I sit down with Patrick from Maryland, a former 32nd degree Freemason, UFO researcher, and host of the podcast Aliens for Beginners. This one goes deep and fast. Patrick shares his personal UFO encounters — including an orange orb that interacted with him on command and a download he received that changed how he approached his research entirely. From there we get into one of the most interesting takes on Freemasonry I've ever heard — that it's essentially a modern-day scapegoat, a hollow distraction deliberately or organically designed to shield whoever is actually pulling the strings. We also get into reptilians, the Galactic Federation, the nature of control across cycles of civilization, and why Patrick believes God is a feminine, primordial force the Sumerians called Ereshkigal. He also shares the story of a past life regression that his own spirit guides basically hijacked and a question he was asked that stopped me in my tracks. I also share my own experience remote viewing the creation of Earth and what I saw. This conversation went so many places I didn't expect, and I loved every second of it.

Today I sit down with Ari, a Texas native now based in LA who has lived quite the life — from working with particle accelerators and cancer diagnostics at Siemens Healthcare, to dropping everything and hitting the road with $600, a massage chair, and singing bowls after a Kundalini awakening in 2024. He's here to talk about his book of poetry, The Lemon Club, a collection of 31 poems written throughout his awakening process, and he actually performs two of them live on this episode. We also get into some really fascinating territory — his thoughts on cancer and what causes it, the connection between sexual energy and spiritual awakening, what Nefertiti and colloidal gold have to do with each other, and why he uses AI to help turn community ideas into investable projects. This one goes a lot of unexpected places and I loved every minute of it.

Aari's bio

Carlos Aarash ‘Aari’ Lotfipour comes from a teenage self-taught background in computer hardware and on to computer science at the University of North Texas. In 2007, this led him into a career in negative-ion accelerators, primarily as a cyclotron support engineer with Siemens Healthcare, providing technical and on-site support of dozens of cyclotrons around the world.

In 2014 he founded Jalapeno Inventive, LLC with the goal of making cryptocurrency and decentralized ledger technologies accessible to the masses through education and entertainment. Carlos has led local technology meetups, Startup Week events and cryptocurrency conferences across Fort Collins, Boulder, Denver and Aspen Colorado.

In 2019, he helped launch YouthLab Colorado, Innop Global Incubator and founded Ag Advisors International, LLC in Fort Collins, CO.

Carlos has been an investor, advisor or partner to companies in blockchain, agriculture, cyber security, renewable energy, supply chain, circular economy, AI, gaming, telecommunications and education.

Carlos also practices Shamanic Sound & Touch; a healing modal developed with baoding ball massage, singing bowls and humming, that targets deep emotional trauma.

Today I sit down with Paul Miller, Army National Guard veteran and creator of the program Uncivilized Rebirth, where he helps people — with a focus on veterans — do the inner work to heal trauma and rediscover who they are. Paul opens up about a childhood he needed to escape, three tours in Iraq, being medically retired after a rare spinal disease, and eventually hitting a breaking point that led to a full spiritual awakening. What came out of all of that is a framework he built himself over years of deep personal work, and now he's sharing it with others. We also get into some really unexpected and fascinating territory — the soul versus the brain, what it means to be on mission, the possible neurological effects of military equipment, and why he calls himself a curse breaker. This one went places I did not anticipate, and I mean that in the best way. Links to Paul's program and social media are in the description below.

In this episode, I sit down with Matt, host of the Frequent Sees podcast, for an unplanned conversation that started before I even hit record. We dive into consciousness, simulation theory, and his painter metaphor for how reality works. We talk about neurodivergence, ego, flow states, and how the brain tunes into something larger than itself. Matt also opens up about getting sober in 2019, discovering his ADHD, and how all of it reshaped the way he sees the world. We wrap up with some personal stuff, his two kids, his divorce, and my own experience with my son.

In this episode, I sit down with Steve Tenebrae, a contemplator of the dark feminine divine, to explore his work with non-dualism, Vedanta, and his use of Lilith as a personification of the great abyss. We get into what non-dualism actually means, how consciousness relates to energy and ether, and why he chose Lilith — a figure of transgression and non-submission — to make these Eastern philosophical concepts more accessible to a Western audience. Steve also walks me through his three-book Radiant Obscurity series, his three-year residential study at a Vedanta ashram in Rishikesh, India, and how his daily practice of meditation, mantra, pranayama, and yoga shapes his life today.

Steve's bio

Steve Tenebrae is the, author of the Radiant Obscurity series. Over more than a decade, he has engaged in residential training and practice across Eastern and Western traditions, including Advaita Vedanta, ceremonial ritual, and structured inquiry. This background grounds a precise, systematic approach to non-dual recognition and practices.

Steve understands the obstacles that can obscure clarity: mistaking intellectual accumulation for insight, treating practice as an external technique rather than an internal realization, and confusing the refinement of perception with spiritual attainment. Doubt does not require total elimination, only sufficient relief to allow understanding to emerge.

Steve's commitment to his work comes from the understanding that spiritual striving is unnecessary. His intention is to guide learners toward a direct understanding that spiritual development is not about acquiring more; it is a shift in recognition. When that understanding settles, the internal tension of seeking naturally releases. If you have knocked on the doors of this temple seeking relief from endless striving, please know that you are not alone.

In this episode, I sit down with Kopus, a rapper based in Texas, to talk about his journey from living in a sex commune in Inglewood, California to finding his spiritual path. He shares how his former rap name brought chaos into his life, how he ended up at Bonoboville, and how meeting his now-wife there changed everything. We get into his near-miss with a national tour, why he left LA before COVID hit, and what it means to him to be coming out of a cocoon phase and stepping back into his music with a new sense of purpose.

We're back! In part two of my conversation with Ramon Almonte, author of The Fogs of Time, we pick right up where we left off — starting with his spontaneous move to Japan with just $800 in his pocket and how that trip sparked his writing career. We also get into his fascinating take on learning languages, why your inner thoughts need to switch languages to truly become fluent, and how he's raising a trilingual son. Ramon also pulls back the curtain on what it actually looks like to self-publish and run a book tour — from calling stores to consignment deals. A great continuation from part one, so if you haven't listened to that yet, start there first!
