    NLS 538: FEAR, EGO, and DEATH! The DARK SIDE of Spiritual AWAKENING in the Himalayas! with Adam Schomer
    Dec 23 2024
    On today’s episode, we welcome Adam Schomer, a filmmaker and seeker of spiritual truth whose journeys into the heart of the Himalayas on a motorcycle defy both logic and fear. Adam’s tale is one of daring exploration, not just across treacherous mountain roads, but deep into the soul’s yearning for meaning and transcendence.
    Imagine standing at 12,000 feet amidst the majestic expanse of the Himalayas, with the stars overhead illuminating the timelessness of the moment. Adam’s journey began with a simple, yet profound question: "What would it mean to fully surrender to the unknown?" Guided by his guru, Anand Mehrotra, Adam embarked on a motorcycle pilgrimage that not only tested his physical limits but unraveled layers of ego and fear. As Adam puts it, “You can’t take on the Himalayas with your ego; it has to break down.”This wasn’t just an adventure; it was a spiritual gauntlet. For Adam, riding motorcycles in the Himalayas with no prior experience symbolized the ultimate act of letting go. The roads were more suggestion than structure—mud, loose rocks, and sheer drops into the abyss below. Early on, fear gripped him as he anticipated every misstep and imagined the worst. Yet, with Anand’s wisdom echoing in his mind, Adam leaned into faith: “Have more love than fear.”The trip was not without its dangers. Accidents and near-misses forced the group to confront mortality head-on. Adam recalled a pivotal moment, riding in complete darkness, blinded by oncoming headlights, where he thought, “This might be it. Do I want to die clinging to fear?” That realization shifted something fundamental within him. It was a choice to embrace the moment, however precarious, and trust the journey.Throughout the journey, Adam witnessed the unraveling of others in his group as their egos clashed with the relentless challenges of the road. Anand’s teachings, though simple, were transformative: "This isn’t about yoga mats and peace. This is about transcending.” The Himalayas, with their raw beauty and ancient mystique, seemed to amplify these lessons, inviting all who dared to climb into a deeper relationship with themselves.

    SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
    1. The Himalayas as a Mirror: The mountains reflect our innermost fears and desires. To ascend them is to confront the self, raw and unadorned.
    2. The Power of Letting Go: True freedom lies in releasing control and embracing the unpredictability of life.
    3. Pilgrimage as Transformation: A spiritual journey reshapes not only how we see the world but how we see ourselves within it.
    Adam’s story reminds us of the sacred power of pilgrimage—not as a destination but as a process of becoming. The Himalayas may have tested him physically, but the true ascent was an internal one, reaching for higher truths and deeper peace.

  • NLS 537: FORGOTTEN SACRED TEXT: Is ACIM the MISSING LINK to CHRIST'S LOST TEACHINGS? with David Hoffmeister

    NLS 537: FORGOTTEN SACRED TEXT: Is ACIM the MISSING LINK to CHRIST'S LOST TEACHINGS? with David Hoffmeister
    Dec 21 2024
    In today’s episode, we embark on a profound journey into the spiritual teachings of David Hoffmeister, a modern-day mystic devoted to living the principles of "A Course in Miracles" (ACIM). With a deep resonance of joy and an ever-present radiance of inner peace, David offers wisdom that bridges ancient teachings and contemporary challenges. His essence embodies the transformative power of forgiveness, trust, and divine guidance.We begin with David’s reflection on healing as a “state of perfect love and connectedness.” In his words, “What we’re trying to do is let go of all the interference patterns.” This simple yet profound teaching reminds us of the essential work: releasing the past, surrendering egoic attachments, and aligning with Spirit’s guidance. It is not about changing the external world but shifting our perception from fear to love.A significant part of our discussion delves into the metaphysical depth of ACIM, which David describes as a mind-training program designed to align us with unconditional love. The practice of forgiveness, as he explains, is not about pardoning someone for what they did but recognizing that “they did not do it” in the ultimate spiritual sense. This shift moves us from a place of judgment to a realm of divine understanding—a core tenet of the Course that liberates us from the chains of the past.We also explore the idea of vulnerability as a pathway to healing. Vulnerability, David shares, is about shedding the protective layers of ego, much like peeling an onion, to reveal the authentic self. This process can be both terrifying and liberating. In the documentary "Take Me Home," which David co-produced, participants courageously practiced radical transparency, confronting their deepest fears and shadows. The result? A transformative experience of inner peace and spiritual awakening.Central to David’s teachings is the recognition of our perceptual errors—the illusions we hold about ourselves and the world. He likens these illusions to Plato’s allegory of the cave, where shadows on the wall are mistaken for reality. “We need to step into the light,” he says, urging us to release our attachments to the physical and embrace the spiritual. This perspective not only alleviates personal suffering but also fosters a collective awakening.One of the more striking moments in our conversation was David’s insight into fear and love. “Your real fear is a fear of love,” he explains. At first, this might seem counterintuitive, but as he elaborates, it becomes clear that our fear stems from the unknown—the vast, infinite love of God that challenges our limited, egoic sense of self. The spiritual journey, then, becomes a process of unlearning fear and embracing the divine.

    SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
    1. Forgiveness as Liberation: True forgiveness involves recognizing that no harm was ever done in the ultimate reality. This shifts our perception from grievance to gratitude.
    2. Vulnerability as Strength: By shedding our protective layers, we create space for healing and authentic connection with Spirit.
    3. Guidance Over Ego: Trusting inner guidance leads us to a life of peace, joy, and divine purpose, free from the confines of egoic identity.
    David reminds us of the power of trust and surrender. He calls us to live an inspired life, where joy and discovery become our natural states. Through his teachings and the profound insights of "Take Me Home," we are invited to step beyond fear, embrace love, and remember our true essence.

  • NLS 536: HUMANITY’S GREAT SHIFT in 2025! TOP Medical Intuitive SHARES Future SPIRITUAL VISIONS with Julie Ryan

    NLS 536: HUMANITY’S GREAT SHIFT in 2025! TOP Medical Intuitive SHARES Future SPIRITUAL VISIONS with Julie Ryan
    Dec 19 2024
    In today's podcast episode, we welcome the profoundly insightful Julie Ryan, a medical intuitive and energy healer who blends her extensive background in business and invention with her spiritual practice. Julie's unique perspective comes from decades of experience in energy healing, communicating with spirit, and guiding humanity through the ever-shifting landscape of spiritual consciousness. Her ability to simplify complex spiritual concepts into digestible wisdom has touched countless lives.Our conversation dives headfirst into the heart of humanity's spiritual evolution. Julie explains that the turbulence we feel globally is not the end but rather the shattering of old paradigms to make way for new, higher-vibrational realities. "You can't pour champagne into a bucket full of Kool-Aid," she says, a metaphor underscoring the need to release outdated beliefs to make room for more refined, enlightening perspectives. This shift is an invitation for humanity to embrace spirituality over fear-driven dogma, to seek inner clarity rather than external validation.One of the most profound insights Julie shares is the role of intention in manifesting and connecting with the spirit realm. As she describes, "Spirit communicates on the high vibration channel because they don’t have the density of a body." The ability to tune into this frequency is accessible to everyone, as long as we align ourselves with love, curiosity, and neutrality. For Julie, it's not just about hearing from the other side but empowering people to recognize their inherent connection to this universal wisdom.Throughout the episode, Julie demystifies fears surrounding death and the afterlife, particularly the transitional journey of the soul. She introduces us to her concept of the "12 Phases of Transition," a sequence she has witnessed repeatedly during her work with the dying. This deeply comforting framework highlights the ever-present love and support from spirits, angels, and deceased loved ones. For those grieving or facing loss, her stories bring peace and reassurance that no one transitions alone.In addressing modern challenges, Julie emphasizes the importance of discerning real fears from those rooted in illusion. She offers her "two-minute rule," a practice to help differentiate between immediate physical danger and unnecessary anxiety. "Ask yourself," she advises, "'Is this going to kill me in the next two minutes?' If not, let it go." This simple yet profound tool can help us stay grounded and connected to our higher selves amidst life's chaos.

    SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
    1. Fear and Love Are Vibrations: Fear lowers our ability to connect with spirit and manifest our desires. Aligning with love and curiosity raises our vibration and invites divine guidance.
    2. Intention Is Key: Your thoughts and focus determine what you manifest and whom you connect with in the spirit realm. Attention plus intention opens the door to limitless possibilities.
    3. Death Is a Transition, Not an End: Every soul is surrounded by love and support in their final moments, proving that our journeys are never solitary.
    As humanity grapples with shifting paradigms, Julie sees a future brimming with hope and possibility. She envisions a collective awakening where people shed fear-based programming and embrace spiritual empowerment. Her faith in the resilience of human creativity and our innate ability to heal and grow shines through.

  • NLS 535: Vatican LIED & SUPPRESSED Truth About JESUS' Journey Through EGYPT, INDIA, and TIBET! with John Davis

    NLS 535: Vatican LIED & SUPPRESSED Truth About JESUS' Journey Through EGYPT, INDIA, and TIBET! with John Davis
    Dec 17 2024
    In this luminous exploration of spiritual truths, we welcome John Davis, a returning guest who unearths the profound mysteries of Jesus’ life and teachings, while threading them through the looms of history, mythology, and personal experience. A gifted speaker with an extraordinary depth of spiritual insight, John Davis invites us to see beyond the veils of doctrine and into the divine fabric that connects us all.What if the story of Jesus extended far beyond the pages of traditional scripture? According to John, the journey of Jesus encompasses travels to Egypt, India, and Tibet, where he studied the mysteries of other cultures and ascended into a deep state of divine awareness. These explorations are not mere legend—they resonate as a hidden thread connecting the wisdom of various traditions. "God is too big and beautiful to be encompassed in one religion," John asserts, challenging us to expand our understanding of divinity.John’s insights are richly layered, often derived from personal past-life regressions and experiences of spiritual remembrance. He speaks of intimate visions, like witnessing a laughing Jesus alongside Mary Magdalene—a striking departure from the solemn depictions we often see. John’s recounting feels alive, not as historical conjecture, but as a vivid remembrance of a soul deeply attuned to the divine story.This conversation delves into some of humanity’s most provocative questions: Was Jesus married? Did he have children? And what really happened after the crucifixion? John’s personal memories suggest a narrative far more intricate and affirming than conventional dogma. For instance, the possibility that Jesus traveled to India after the resurrection—a journey of peace and fulfillment—adds a poetic conclusion to his earthly mission.

    SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
    1. Reincarnation as Spiritual Truth: John discusses Jesus’ acknowledgment of reincarnation, such as referring to Elijah’s return as John the Baptist. This revelation bridges spiritual traditions and opens the door to a broader understanding of life’s cyclical journey.
    2. The Power of Divine Connection: "Greater works than I have done, you will do," Jesus’ empowering words echo throughout John’s insights, reminding us of our innate ability to tap into divine energy.
    3. God Is Beyond Labels: John urges us to look beyond the confines of religion to experience God as a boundless, universal consciousness. “We’re all on a personal journey, and God is too vast to fit within any single doctrine.”
    The conversation takes a turn toward the pragmatic yet mystical, as John shares an astounding story about how a Hindu guru manifested a guitar from San Francisco to India—a testament to the non-locality of divine power. Through such anecdotes, John paints a picture of a reality where faith, intention, and spiritual mastery dissolve the boundaries of the material world.As the dialogue unfolds, it becomes clear that Jesus’ journey—whether through Egypt’s pyramids, India’s sacred rivers, or Tibet’s monasteries—was more than a physical odyssey. It was a quest to embrace the divine unity inherent in all traditions and to illuminate humanity’s potential for love and transformation.John’s reflections invite us to shed the weight of inherited dogmas and walk with courage into the vast, interconnected mystery of existence. With each shared memory and insight, he reminds us that the true message of Jesus is not about separation, but unity. "Ye are gods," as Jesus once said, urging us to awaken to our own divinity.

  • NLS 534: Top UK Psychic Nicky Alan REVEALS WHY She TRAGICALLY LOST Her SOULMATE; SAW His SOUL LEAVE Earth!

    NLS 534: Top UK Psychic Nicky Alan REVEALS WHY She TRAGICALLY LOST Her SOULMATE; SAW His SOUL LEAVE Earth!
    Dec 14 2024
    The echoes of love lost and found reverberated in today's profound conversation with Nicky Alan, an internationally renowned psychic medium who shared her heart-wrenching yet soul-lifting journey of losing her soulmate, Darren. Nicky Alan, a former police detective, has walked through the fires of grief, only to emerge with lessons about the eternal nature of love, the resilience of the human spirit, and the enduring bond between souls.Loss, as Nicky poignantly puts it, "is the biggest, profound silence that you will ever face." Her recounting of Darren’s sudden passing—a tragic event filled with mystical encounters and divine messages—invites us into a world where the veil between the physical and spiritual realms feels thin and fleeting. In the moment of his departure, Nicky experienced what she described as a shared death experience, witnessing the spiritual transition of her beloved while anchored in her own mortal existence.This journey wasn’t without its trials. Darren’s passing brought not just grief but an avalanche of challenges from his estranged family. The material squabbles and toxic behaviors forced Nicky to navigate both the depths of personal loss and the murky waters of human greed. However, amidst the darkness, she found herself supported by an invisible army of angelic forces and her devoted community."Why are you drinking poison, hoping they will die from it?" This wisdom, attributed to Buddha, became a turning point for Nicky. She realized the futility of anger and resentment, choosing instead to channel her pain into a higher purpose: to heal, to serve, and to illuminate the path for others navigating their own storms of loss. Her message is one of empowerment, reminding us that even in the most harrowing of circumstances, we have a choice—between succumbing to despair or rising towards light and love.

    SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
    1. The Eternal Bond Between Souls
      Love transcends the physical realm. Even after their transition, loved ones find ways to communicate and connect with us, leaving behind signs and synchronicities that remind us of their enduring presence.
    2. The Power of Choice in Grief
      Grief is a natural response to loss, but we have the power to decide how we navigate it. As Nicky reminds us, we can choose to rise above pain, transforming suffering into a source of strength and service.
    3. The Collective Energy of Support
      Healing is amplified through community. Whether through spiritual guides, synchronicities, or the compassion of others, the collective power of love and light offers profound support in our darkest times.
    In the end, Nicky’s journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Her openness, vulnerability, and willingness to share her story serve as a guiding light for those walking their own paths of loss and rediscovery. For Nicky, the profound silence of Darren’s absence has been filled with an unwavering connection to his soul and an unshakable purpose to carry forward the love they shared.
