NLS 188: Council of 8 Speaks! Channeled Message That Will Change Your Life with Michelle Carpenter

Life, as we know it, is a canvas draped in the unknown, and within that uncertainty lies the secret beauty of our human journey. On today's episode, we welcome Bree Melanson, a gifted channeler who invites us to step into the fullness of who we truly are. With her unique ability to connect with higher consciousness, Bree guides us through the very fabric of existence—a dance between the seen and unseen, the tangible and the divine.Bree’s story begins in the most relatable way—a quiet knowing buried beneath years of conditioned doubt. She shares how, as a child, her intuition was alive, vivid, and undeniable, yet it was tucked away when the world failed to affirm it. “Every challenge is an opportunity for you to step forth into who you truly are,” Bree Melanson reminds us, inviting us to embrace life’s struggles as sacred teachers. Her spiritual reawakening came when life nudged her through hardship—her mother’s illness and the deep existential questions it stirred. This path, she reflects, is often paved not with ease, but with a series of whispers asking, Are you ready to return to yourself?What makes Bree’s wisdom extraordinary is her ability to bridge the ethereal with the earthly. As a channel, she becomes a vessel through which higher beings and universal truths flow—truths that remind us of our interconnectedness with all creation. “Have you not been living in the unknown all along?” she asks, shattering our fear of uncertainty. For Bree, the unknown is not a void to dread, but the very space where magic is birthed—where love, creation, and transformation arise.Throughout the conversation, Bree offers an elegant reframe of life’s challenges. Whether we call them energetic blockages or unresolved wounds, they are merely signposts guiding us back to alignment. She teaches us that emotions are not obstacles to overcome, but messengers inviting us to release illusion and embody our most authentic selves. By asking, Is this thought or belief true? we loosen the grip of the ego and reclaim the quiet, boundless wisdom of the soul.Bree also shares practical ways to reconnect with intuition, urging us to follow what lights us up. Intuition, she explains, is not a voice outside of us but the language of our own soul. When we align with what brings joy, harmony, and presence, we naturally attune to our higher selves. “You are never fully out of control,” she reassures us, emphasizing that surrender is not about losing power, but about rediscovering it in partnership with the divine flow.In a profound channeling session, Bree allows higher consciousness to flow through her, delivering messages of hope and remembrance. Humanity, she shares, is on the brink of an awakening—a great restructuring where the old, limiting ways of being fall away. It is a time to turn inward, to nurture the light within, and to recognize that every perceived challenge is an invitation to embody our inherent power. The future, she reminds us, is not something to fear, but something we create through the resonance of our own truth.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSChallenges are sacred opportunities. Every struggle reveals where we are disconnected from our true selves and offers us a path back to wholeness.Intuition is the soul’s language. Follow the things that light you up—they are guiding you toward your most aligned and expansive self.Presence quiets the ego. When we fully inhabit the present moment, suffering dissolves, and our connection to source becomes clear and undeniable.As Bree so eloquently conveys, our journey on this Earth is not about escaping the unknown but about embracing it. The unseen realms are not separate from us; they are waiting to meet us as we expand our awareness and step into the fullness of our being. In this unfolding, we remember who we are: creators, light-bearers, and reflections of the infinite.Please enjoy my conversation with Bree Melanson.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

In today's enlightening episode, we welcome Jonathan Goldman, a pioneer in the field of sound healing. Jonathan's journey into the world of sound began in the late 1970s, playing rock and roll in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. An epiphany struck him as he observed the negative atmosphere his music contributed to in a club. This realization led him to explore the potential of sound not just to create moods but to heal. Jonathan shares, "The power of the music has to do not only with the frequencies and the sounds but also the energy that is encoded in it. Music and Sound is a carrier of our consciousness." Throughout our conversation, Jonathan delves into the profound connection between sound, frequency, and healing. He introduces us to the concept that everything in the universe is vibration, a notion shared by ancient mystics and modern quantum physicists alike. This understanding forms the foundation of sound healing, which Jonathan has spent decades mastering. Jonathan recounts his early days of sound healing, highlighting the importance of intention. "Frequency plus intent equals healing," he explains. This principle, he discovered, is essential in creating the desired therapeutic effects through sound. He emphasizes that the intention behind the sound is just as critical as the sound itself, a belief reinforced by his extensive research and practice. One of the most intriguing aspects of our discussion is Jonathan's explanation of psychoacoustics and vibroacoustics. While psychoacoustics involves sound affecting the brain and nervous system through the ears, vibroacoustics entails sound penetrating the body at a cellular level, affecting everything from molecules to DNA. This dual approach to sound therapy illustrates the extensive reach of sound's healing potential. We also explore the role of silence in sound healing. "Silence is golden," Jonathan asserts, describing it as the yin to sound's yang. In silence, true shifts and changes occur, allowing the body and mind to integrate and resonate with the healing frequencies. In our conversation, Jonathan Goldman reminds us of the ancient wisdom embedded in sound, urging us to harness this knowledge for healing ourselves and the planet. His insights into the therapeutic power of the hum, a simple yet profound practice, provide a tangible tool for anyone seeking to reduce stress and enhance well-being.Please enjoy my conversation with Jonathan Goldman.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

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 TAKEAWAYSThe Himalayas as a Mirror: The mountains reflect our innermost fears and desires. To ascend them is to confront the self, raw and unadorned.The Power of Letting Go: True freedom lies in releasing control and embracing the unpredictability of life.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.Please enjoy my conversation with Adam Schomer.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

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 TAKEAWAYSForgiveness as Liberation: True forgiveness involves recognizing that no harm was ever done in the ultimate reality. This shifts our perception from grievance to gratitude.Vulnerability as Strength: By shedding our protective layers, we create space for healing and authentic connection with Spirit.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.Please enjoy my conversation with David Hoffmeister.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

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.

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 TAKEAWAYSReincarnation 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.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.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.Please enjoy my conversation with John Davis.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.
