Born and raised as a pastor's son, Aaron Abke had a unique lens into religion from a young age. This led him ultimately on a spiritual journey of leaving the church and diving into the wisdom teachings of the world and eventually finding what felt most resonate to him. 

In this episode, we'll be decoding the mystery of Jesus Christ's life and how his true teachings can help us on our awakening journey. He goes past the 2,000 year old dogma and misinterpretation surrounding Jesus (or Yeshua) in order to unveil how we can awaken christ consciousness within us. 

Aaron describes the evidence hidden in the dead sea scrolls, the secret teachings of the Essenes, and messages in the actual Bible itself, for an intriguing conversation aimed at bringing truth back to the name of Jesus and supporting you on your own journey.

New York Times best-selling author and scientist Gregg Braden explains the bridge between science and spirituality and what it reveals about our true nature as humans. Gregg sets the stage by describing the most pressing issue we face as a species right now: the battle for our own humanity. He shares how the innovations in technology and movement towards transhumanism threatens to extinguish the beauty of what it means to be human before we even discover what that means. 

This conversation is an intriguing deep dive into that topic, revealing the danger of technology and the divine potential hidden in human DNA.

Gregg also discusses his theory on the true origin of homo sapiens: from debunking the theory of evolution to discovering hidden ancient civilizations. 

Be sure to tune into next week's episode for a continuation of this conversation and learn how to unlock your own true potential.
