  1. Interview With Patrick

    13 MAY

    Interview With Patrick

    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.

  2. Interview with Aari Lotfipour

    13 MAY

    Interview with Aari Lotfipour

    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.

  3. Interview with Paul B Miller

    13 MAY

    Interview with Paul B Miller

    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.

  4. Interview with Steve Tenebrae

    7 MAY

    Interview with Steve Tenebrae

    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 link tree: https://linktr.ee/steve.tenebrae - You will find his book links here Vedanta Society of S. California - https://vedanta.org/ - This is where I received initiation (diksha) with Swami Swahananda Dayananda Ashram - https://www.dayananda.org/ - Long-term courses. 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.
