FLASHBACK FRIDAYS: Dr. Pebbles Predicts MANKIND'S Great CHANGE in 2024! Prepare Yourself NOW! with Summer Bacon

The word gratitude has been floating around my head lately. I recently made some significant shifts in my personal life. The support and opportunity to have accomplished such leaves me with so much gratitude.So, I wanted to talk about giving and gratitude and their power in people's lives. The will to carry a consciously positive mindset through life, especially after these last unusual years, is everything. Becoming an optimist does not require a supernatural faculty. It all begins in your mind.Anthony DeNino is just the guy for this conversation.Anthony is known as 'The SMART (Success Means Acquiring Right Thoughts) Guy.' He's a motivational speaker, facilitator, consultant, founder, and president of CORE (Creating Our Reality, Inc.).Through Creating Our Reality, Anthony gets to work with non-profit organizations and companies to assist individuals in creating their reality by focusing on the power of their minds. In so doing, one allows themselves to adjust to a more optimistic mentality through their actions. In 2020, he published his first book, The Power of Giving and Gratitude!: A Path to Creating your Reality.This book expands your mind and layout plans to help you live a more meaningful, more powerful, more impactful life. In the process of living this enhanced life, you will also help others do the same.This book promises to help you have a closer relationship with your body, mind, and soul while bringing into your life a more meaningful relationship with God. You've heard the old proverb "It takes a village," right? Well, know that all it takes to have a lasting impact on the world is one person: you!It is no secret that many people in the world love to take and sometimes, to the detriment of the giver. We made sure to delve into the dark side of giving- the need for balance and protecting oneself from users. This chat was divine alignment for me, and I hope it serves a greater purpose in your life and your mindset change. We need more good and positivity in this world, and that's not only the world at large but our tribes, families, and circles.It was a pleasure speaking to Anthony.

I recently saw the documentary, Aware: Glimpses of Consciousness, and I felt that it would be a perfect conversation for the show because of how it digs into multiple layers of consciousness and asks a lot of big questions and answers, a couple of questions. But you're also left with questions at the end of films, which is always a good sign to keep the conversation going.Frauke Sandig and Eric Black have done a number of other projects together on a common theme of social, environmental, and psychological consciousness. Set to be theatrically released in the US and Germany in September 2021, Aware confronts the "Big Questions", cutting a window into a realm previously held tight by philosophy and religion: AWARE follows six brilliant researchers, approaching the greatest of all mysteries from radically different perspectives, from within and without: through high-tech brain research and Eastern meditation, by scientifically exploring inner space through psychedelic substances and by investigating the consciousness of plants. Scientists are arriving at new insights - some have been integral to Indigenous knowledge for millennia.AWARE opens as a science film but emerges well beyond the explicable, ultimately leading one on a voyage upon the ocean of consciousness, a contemplative, sensual, cinematographic meditation. The networks of consciousness are reflected in 'grand' imagery revealing the vast interconnectedness of Nature - from the smallest organisms to the world of plants and animals and on to the cosmos.We explore the depths and crevasses of the topic of consciousness and how we are impacted by it inwardly and outwardly through meditating, psychedelic research, etc.The duo has done exceptional work highlighting stories or topics that challenge our subjective experience and implore the viewers to look harder, think deeper, and act better. It was a pleasure speaking with Frauke and Eric. Enjoy!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

I saw the trailer for the, Meeting The Beatles in India documentary by Paul Saltzman and I instantly know that I wanted to have him on the show.His unique experience meeting the Beatles in 1968 at the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram in India changed his life forever and this cosmic aligning story is one that reinstalls faith in finding purpose in the strangest of places. Director Paul Saltzman returns to India as he reminiscences his time with the Beatles while they were on a spiritual retreat under the mentorship of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in 1968.It's honestly a remarkable once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of timing and positioning.‘If you really want to look at yourself more carefully, you might want to get away from the environment you grew up in.’ Paul received this soul message at age 23, after having the realization that his life was lacking the substance of the soul and he was set to find answers. The cosmic gods led him to India where, even though it cost him a lot financially and in his personal life, he was being pulled towards the existential resolve that that is healing through Transcendental Meditation. On this pilgrim, it just so happened that Paul ended up seeking help to mend his broken heart through meditation at the same ashram as THE BEATLES and their loved ones. Integrating into the ashram community brought in the opportunity to photograph the Beatles during the duration of his stay. He details this very shockingly positive-life-altering opportunity in his 2018 book, The Beatles in India, and in his 2020 documentary, Meeting The Beatles in India. In 1968, the Beatles went to Rishikesh, India, studied transcendental meditation, and wrote music. These intimate photos are the only record of their time in this sacred retreat. This new edition of The Beatles in India brings intimate images of the group, taken at an ashram in Rishikesh, India, to a wider audience than ever before. No photographers or press were allowed at Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s ashram in the foothills of the Himalayas, but the Beatles had no objection to fellow visitor Paul Saltzman freely snapping pictures during their time there. This unprecedented access resulted in an extensive collection of intimate photos of the world’s most beloved rock band during one of their most serene and productive periods, only two years before the official dissolution of the group.Containing a wide-ranging narrative by Saltzman—about everything from the story of how “Dear Prudence” came to be to George Harrison’s description of the first time he picked up a sitar—this unique and exclusive exploration of one of the Beatles’ most tender and bittersweet periods is a must-have for all fans of the legendary rock group.It was a pleasure speaking to Paul.

Finding one’s inner mission and connecting with your spiritual self is a recurring theme on this show. There comes a time in life that compels you to be stale --- to hear the voice within and find divine balance and connectivity. I’m basically talking about self-attunement and mindfulness. For many years Catherine Ann Jones has championed others to find their Dharma. She also willingly surrender to her spiritual path and continues to help others on their journeys through workshops, consulting, writing, and other spiritual interventions. Catherine is an award-winning playwright, screenwriter, actor, and author. She’s written six books, and countless plays and scripts for Broadway, film, and TV.Following her parallel passions for truth-seeking and dramatic self-expression helped her take a spiritual visit to India in her 20s in search of answers to her life questions.  It is my feeling that some stories already exist in the ether, and my job is simply to bring them down to the gross level.  The best times are when I seem to disappear altogether and the story writes itself.  It passes through me, but is not really mine — a kind of visitation if you will.” - Catherine Ann JonesIn 2013, Catherine's latest book, Heal Your Self With Writing was published.The book is also about self-healing, grief, and trauma --- a theme she expertly illustrates in the book along with anecdotes, from my own journey.Our lives may be determined less by past events than by the way we remember them. How do we learn to listen more to the stories that heal? How do we put together the pieces of our past? How can we rewrite our life story so that pain becomes meaningful and actually promotes growth and transformation? Heal Your Self with Writing offers a step-by-step journey of discovery and re-visioning through focused journaling, a practice that can enable healing and empowerment. In this way, each reader is able to make meaning out of memory and put the past where it belongs — behind them.Catherine also developed exercises and writing workshops inspired by the 'Heal Your Self With Writing' book to assist, what she calls, the coming home exercise.There are definitely forces of things (good or bad) that occur in your life that leave you bewildered. But evidently, you come to understand that it is part of a  process to discover yourself. Which are the summary of Catherine’s life and impact.This was truly an affirming conversation and a pleasure speaking to Catherine.
