BONUS EPISODE: GROUNDING-BREAKING: Yale Doctor DISCOVERS the Spiritual Science Behind the Universe with Dr. Anna Yusim

What if I told you that death is not an end, but an exquisite unfolding—an elegant, natural transition, much like birth? We arrive in this world gasping for breath, and when it is time to leave, we do so with a final sigh, a great exhale into the unknown. In today’s episode, we welcome Julie McFadden, a hospice nurse whose experiences on the front lines of death have given her an intimate understanding of the great departure. Her journey has taken her from the high-intensity world of ICU nursing, where medicine fights tooth and nail to preserve life, to the quiet wisdom of hospice care, where she has learned that letting go is often more profound than holding on.One of the great paradoxes of our time is how we treat death as an adversary rather than a companion. Julie McFadden shared how, as an ICU nurse, she was surrounded by a culture that viewed death as failure. Machines beeping, frantic attempts at resuscitation, and families holding on to every last shred of hope—even when the body itself was pleading to let go. It wasn’t until she stepped into hospice care that she realized something miraculous: the body knows how to die. It prepares itself for the journey. Hunger and thirst fade, energy dims, and a natural peace takes hold. “Dying itself is not painful,” she explained. “It’s the diseases that cause pain, but the process of dying is something the body knows how to do. If we just allow it, it can be peaceful.”But there is more to death than biology. There is something unspoken, something mysterious at play. One of the most profound experiences Julie McFadden has had is what is known as a shared death experience. She recalled a beloved patient, a man who had lived with anxiety and isolation for most of his life, but in his final months found peace through hospice care.The day he passed, as she sat in her car, she suddenly felt an overwhelming surge of joy and liberation. She could hear his voice, see his beaming smile, and sense his astonishment. “Oh my gosh, Julie. If I only would have known!” he kept repeating. The feeling was one of weightlessness, as if he were soaring into a vast and loving expanse. Moments later, her phone buzzed. The message confirmed what she already knew: he had just passed away.These moments, unexplainable by science yet deeply felt by those who witness them, are common in hospice care. Patients report seeing deceased loved ones weeks before they die, often expressing excitement rather than fear. “They don’t come to scare us,” she said. “They come to let us know we’re not alone in this.” These visions are not hallucinations from medication or oxygen deprivation—this phenomenon happens too frequently, too consistently, to be dismissed. Perhaps, then, what we call ‘death’ is simply a return to the home we have long forgotten.And what of those who fear death? Julie McFadden believes that much of our dread comes from the unknown, but the more we talk about it, the less power it has over us. Planning for death, embracing its certainty, does not hasten it—it simply makes it more graceful. “We plan everything—vacations, weddings, careers—but we refuse to plan for death. Why?” she asked. The answer, of course, is fear. But just as birth is a passage into form, death is a passage out of it. Nothing more, nothing less.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSDeath is not the enemy. It is a process as natural as breathing, and when we embrace it rather than resist it, it can be a peaceful transition.Love is the only thing that matters. In the end, it’s not achievements or wealth that hold meaning, but the presence of loved ones, the quiet moments of care, and the tenderness of human connection.We are never truly alone. Shared death experiences, visions of loved ones, and near-death encounters all point to the same reality: there is something beyond, something awaiting us with open arms.So perhaps, instead of fearing death, we should sit with it, invite it in for tea, and ask it what it has to teach us. After all, the great cosmic joke is that death was never an ending—it was always a beginning.Please enjoy my conversation with Julie McFadden.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

Humanity stands on the precipice of an unprecedented transformation. The world as we know it is unraveling, and a new paradigm is being woven into existence. On today's episode, we welcome Gregg Braden, a scientist and visionary, who has spent decades decoding the deep mysteries of our past to illuminate the crossroads of our future. As civilizations rise and fall, as technology accelerates beyond the scope of human comprehension, we are left with a single question—what does it mean to be truly human?In this profound conversation, Gregg Braden unravels the deeper layers of a world hurtling toward 2030.He warns of a silent war—one not fought with weapons but with ideology, with the very fabric of human biology. We are witnessing an era where the boundaries between human and machine blur, where artificial intelligence, genetic modification, and digital surveillance seek to redefine the human experience. But at what cost?He speaks of a parallel world emerging, one where a faction of humanity blindly surrenders itself to technological integration, eager to be plugged into an artificial consciousness. And yet, another group resists, striving to retain the raw, unquantifiable essence of what it means to be alive. This division, he explains, is not just societal—it is spiritual. "The goal of the struggle between good and evil is to deny us our humanness," he says. If humanity forgets its own divinity, what remains but programmable flesh?This is not speculation; it is happening now. Governments and corporations are openly designing a world where biology is rewritten, where emotions, intuition, and even the capacity to love are seen as inefficiencies in need of an upgrade. But Braden reminds us: we are the technology.The human body is an intricate, self-regulating system capable of feats beyond our comprehension. Every breath, every thought, every intention activates a hidden intelligence embedded within us, far superior to anything silicon could replicate.But there is more at play. Ancient prophecies, spiritual teachings, and modern science converge upon the year 2030 as a fulcrum—a moment when humanity either ascends to its highest potential or succumbs to an engineered reality. From the Mayan calendar to the Kali Yuga, from biblical scripture to the ominous strategies of global institutions, the signs are all around us. The world is being remade, but who is writing the blueprint?The key, Gregg Braden insists, is consciousness. This is not a time for fear, but for awareness. By reclaiming our ability to think critically, to love deeply, and to choose with intention, we preserve what is sacred. This is the true battle—not against external forces, but within ourselves. The choice is simple yet profound: do we relinquish our sovereignty to a system designed to suppress, or do we awaken the divine potential that has always been within us?SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSTechnology vs. Consciousness – We must be vigilant in ensuring that technology serves us, rather than enslaving us. Human potential is not meant to be replaced, but awakened.The Power of Awareness – Understanding the agendas at play gives us the ability to make informed choices. Fear paralyzes, but awareness liberates.Living as a Sovereign Being – Our divinity is not something given or taken away—it is inherent. To preserve our humanness is to honor the sacred within ourselves and others.As we stand at the threshold of a new era, we must ask ourselves: what will we become? The world is shifting, but we are not merely observers—we are the creators of the reality that will unfold. And so, the invitation remains: awaken, remember, and reclaim what is yours by divine right.Please enjoy my conversation with Gregg Braden.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 the remarkable Connie H. Deutsch, a business consultant, personal advisor, counselor, and author of 13 books. Known for her deep insights and transformative advice, Connie shares her journey into counseling and consulting, revealing the wisdom she has gathered over years of helping others find clarity and purpose in their lives.Connie's entry into the world of counseling and consulting was serendipitous. "I think it was probably by accident," she says, reflecting on how she found her calling. One pivotal moment involved a conversation with a CEO concerned about overpopulation. Without hesitation, she predicted a significant population decrease, a prediction that eerily came true with the pandemic. This moment, among others, cemented her reputation as someone with profound foresight and a unique ability to see beyond the immediate.Throughout our conversation, Connie emphasizes the importance of focusing on what truly matters in life. She recounts how she woke up one day feeling a void, questioning if this was all there was to life. This introspection led her to simplify her life, shedding unnecessary material possessions and superficial relationships. "I learned how to say no," she explains, highlighting the importance of setting boundaries and focusing on meaningful pursuits.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSThe Power of Visualization: Connie’s journey illustrates the transformative power of visualization. From creating a birthmark through sheer focus as a child to successfully predicting future events, her experiences show how intense focus and belief can shape reality. "You have to have that determination. You have to have that perseverance," she says, emphasizing the need for unwavering focus to bring about change.Living a Spiritual Life: For Connie, living a spiritual life means more than just following religious doctrines. It involves deep self-reflection, forgiveness, and unconditional love. "If you don't like your life, change it. If you don't like your karma, change it," she quotes Yogananda, highlighting the possibility of transforming one's destiny through conscious effort and spiritual practice.Service to Humanity: A recurring theme in Connie's philosophy is the importance of helping others. She believes that true fulfillment comes from being of service to others. "My measure of success is, have I made a difference in anyone’s life?" she asks, urging us to focus on contributions that uplift and support others.Connie's story is also a testament to the importance of authenticity in spiritual practice. She coined the term "phony holies" to describe people who talk about spirituality without living it. This realization led her to follow Yogananda's teachings, which resonated deeply with her. His book, "Autobiography of a Yogi," provided her with a framework for spiritual growth that was both practical and profound.Meditation plays a crucial role in Connie’s life, helping her connect with the creative force of the universe. She started with extensive meditation sessions, which helped her focus and achieve a deeper understanding of her purpose. "I started out with seven or eight hours of meditation a day," she recalls, emphasizing the importance of sustained practice in achieving spiritual clarity.Connie also discusses the concept of karma and how it can be changed through living a spiritual life.By forgiving herself and others, and by living with love and compassion, she believes it is possible to transform negative karma. "You have to have that faith because doubt and fear cannot coexist with faith," she explains, urging us to choose faith over fear.As our conversation draws to a close, Connie shares her concerns about the future of humanity, emphasizing the need for a global awakening to address the challenges we face. Despite these concerns, she expresses confidence in the transformative power of individuals who are dedicated to making a difference, highlighting the potential for profound change through collective effort and spiritual growth.Please enjoy my conversation with Connie H.

There’s something profoundly liberating about peeling back the layers of history and finding the raw, untamed wisdom beneath. On today’s episode, we welcome Neil Douglas Klotz, a scholar and mystic whose journey into the Aramaic roots of Jesus’s teachings unveils a radically different understanding of the man, his message, and the world he lived in.The Jesus many of us have encountered is a product of centuries of translation, political maneuvering, and cultural adaptation. The blue-eyed, English-speaking figure who stands at the center of Western Christianity is a far cry from the Aramaic-speaking mystic who roamed the hills of ancient Palestine. Neil Douglas Klotz takes us back to the beginning, to the words that Jesus actually spoke, words that vibrate with an entirely different rhythm than those found in the King James Bible. “If you read ‘spirit’ in the New Testament,” he says, “just put ‘breath’ over that word, because that’s what the Aramaic also means.”It is in this forgotten wisdom that we find a Jesus who wasn’t simply demanding belief but rather inviting participation.One of the most profound mistranslations, according to Klotz, is the oft-quoted phrase “believe in me.” In Aramaic, the more accurate translation is “believe like me.” This shifts the message entirely—Jesus wasn’t asking for blind devotion but instead urging people to embody faith in the way he did, to step into the divine flow as he had.The Aramaic worldview, Klotz explains, did not divide existence into rigid dualities. There was no separation between body and soul, breath and spirit, heaven and earth. The kingdom of heaven, Jesus said, is not some far-off celestial domain but something “within and among” us. The words for “within” and “among” are the same in Aramaic—suggesting that the divine is not a place to go but a way to be, something alive in the interconnected web of existence.And what of hell? Another grand misunderstanding, says Klotz. Jesus never spoke of a fiery pit of eternal torment but rather referred to Gehenna, a literal burning trash heap outside of Jerusalem. The idea of an eternal damnation was a much later addition, a political tool used to control through fear. The Jesus of Aramaic tradition wasn’t threatening souls with punishment—he was urging people to purify their burdens, to release what weighs them down, to transform their suffering rather than be consumed by it.Even the crucifixion, Klotz suggests, is layered in mystery and translation errors. The idea of Jesus returning, he argues, is not about a second coming in the clouds but rather about a recognition of Christ’s presence in one another. “We will see Jesus in each other and in nature,” he says. “That’s the Second Coming.” Perhaps the greatest tragedy of organized religion has been its insistence on externalizing the divine, when all along Jesus was saying: It’s here, now, inside you.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSBreath is Spirit – In Aramaic, the word for spirit and breath are the same. Every inhale and exhale connects us to something greater, a reminder that we are not separate from the divine but are continuously part of its unfolding.Faith is Participation, Not Belief – Jesus didn’t ask people to believe in him; he asked them to embody faith as he did. It’s about stepping into a way of being rather than subscribing to a doctrine.Heaven is Within and Among Us – The kingdom of heaven is not a distant place but a lived experience, something we create through our relationships, actions, and awareness.It’s a wild thing, to realize how much has been hidden in plain sight. The Aramaic Jesus is not a figure of power and punishment, but a guide toward deep presence, compassion, and awakening. It is in the breath, in the heart, in the connection between beings that his true teachings still whisper through time.Please enjoy my conversation with Neil Douglas Klotz.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

What if heaven isn’t a place but a frequency? What if everything you’ve ever known about life, death, and the great beyond was only a fragment of a much larger, incomprehensible whole? These are the questions we step into today as we welcome Cheryl Page, a former Dartmouth scientist turned medium, whose life has been a winding road of discovery, skepticism, and revelation. Having spent over two decades in the rigor of medical research, Cheryl Page never expected to find herself standing on the threshold between worlds, let alone speaking to those who have crossed it.Her story begins not with a gentle awakening, but with grief. A loss so profound it demanded answers beyond what science could provide. She calls it her "Galileo moment"—the realization that the universe was not as fixed and certain as she once believed. What if, she asked herself, the soul doesn’t disappear but simply shifts octaves? That question became the wedge that pried open the door between dimensions, allowing Cheryl to not just believe, but to know.And then the signs began.Not the vague, wishful thinking of a grieving heart, but undeniable, synchronistic events—messages that could not be ignored. A bridge spoken of in private, appearing in a text from a stranger. An eagle soaring above, sent to her phone at the exact moment she mentioned it. A hitchhiker named Scott, speaking of her beloved Froggy, unaware of the cosmic joke the universe had just played. If the world was merely random, what were the odds?It was through these experiences that Cheryl came to redefine communication with the beyond. Mediumship, she realized, wasn’t a passive reception of messages from the dead. It was a two-way street, a conversation—a vibrationship, as she calls it. "We are not meant to move on from those we love," she says, "but to move forward with them." That shift in understanding changed everything. The signs weren’t gifts tossed from a distant heaven; they were real-time conversations with those who had merely stepped into another room.And then came the visitors—John F. Kennedy, Nikola Tesla, Helen Keller—each with wisdom to share. Not just words, but gifts. A Swiss Army knife from Yogananda, with every tool needed for the path ahead. A crystal stand from Gandhi, reminding that even warriors need a place to lay their burdens. A broom from Walt Disney, because sometimes the magic isn’t just in the sweeping, but in the flying.This isn’t a conversation about belief; it’s about experience. Cheryl Page doesn’t ask you to take her word for it. She invites you to explore your own connection, to test the waters of the unseen. "What if?" is the only question worth asking, she insists, because it pries open the rigid structures of certainty and makes room for something greater. And isn’t that the real goal of life—to keep our eyes, our hearts, our very souls, just open enough for the miraculous to slip in?SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSYou are not separate from those who have passed. Instead of "moving on," consider moving forward with them. The veil is not outside of you; it is within, and it can be thinned.Imagination is not just fantasy; it is the mechanism by which Spirit communicates. The same mind that creates dreams is the one that receives divine wisdom—do not discount it.There is wisdom in everything. Whether it’s the signs from a loved one or the symbolic gifts from the great minds of history, the universe is speaking in ways we have yet to fully understand.So, the question remains—what if you could reach across the veil? What if the signs you’ve been dismissing were messages meant just for you? What if heaven is closer than you think?Please enjoy my conversation with Cheryl Page.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 Dan Millman, a revered author whose works have touched the lives of countless individuals seeking personal growth and spiritual enlightenment. Known for his seminal book Way of the Peaceful Warrior, Dan's insights blend the practical with the profound, offering a unique perspective on how to navigate the complexities of life with a peaceful heart and a warrior spirit.Dan Millman begins by sharing the origins of Way of the Peaceful Warrior. Initially a course he taught at Oberlin College, the concept evolved into a book that combines elements of autobiography and fiction. The journey of this book's publication is a testament to perseverance and the unpredictable nature of success.After an initial struggle to find its place in bookstores, the book eventually gained traction through word of mouth, leading to its current status as a cornerstone in the personal growth genre.Dan emphasizes the balance between a peaceful heart and a warrior spirit. This duality is central to his philosophy, encouraging us to cultivate serenity amidst life's chaos while also embodying the resilience and determination of a warrior. "We all seek to live with a more peaceful heart, a sense of serenity, equanimity in the chaos of everyday life," Dan explains. This approach is not just about achieving inner peace but also about rolling up our sleeves and facing life's challenges head-on.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSEmbrace the Present Moment: Dan's experiences in gymnastics and martial arts have taught him the importance of being fully present. Whether it's in the midst of a complex maneuver or the simple act of taking off a sweatshirt, every moment is an opportunity to practice mindfulness. "There are no ordinary moments," Dan reminds us, highlighting the value of appreciating each instant as it comes.Acceptance and Surrender: The law of acceptance, or surrender, is a cornerstone of Dan's teachings. Accepting what is, rather than resisting, allows us to flow with life's events rather than fighting against them. This mindset reduces stress and increases our ability to adapt to changing circumstances. "Life happens as it will. Stress happens when the mind resists what is," Dan says, urging us to embrace whatever comes our way.Overcoming Fear: Fear is a natural part of life, but how we respond to it makes all the difference. Dan suggests acknowledging our fears without letting them control our actions. "Heroes and cowards feel exactly the same fear; they just respond differently," he notes, emphasizing the importance of action over emotion.Dan also discusses the three primary approaches to spiritual life, corresponding to the stages of human development: childhood, adolescence, and maturity. In the childhood stage, we seek guidance from authoritative figures, much like children look up to their parents. As we grow into adolescence, we begin to question and reject these figures, seeking our own path. Finally, in maturity, we recognize wisdom wherever it may appear and integrate it into our lives. This progression reflects our journey toward spiritual maturity and the deepening of our understanding.A profound insight from Dan is the idea that life is a divine school for souls.Our daily experiences, challenges, and relationships are all part of our curriculum. By viewing life through this lens, we can find meaning and growth in every situation, no matter how difficult it may seem. This perspective encourages us to learn from our experiences and evolve spiritually.In conclusion, Dan Millman's teachings remind us that life's journey is as much about the inner path as it is about external achievements. By embracing the present moment, accepting what is, and responding to fear with courage, we can navigate our lives with a sense of peace and purpose. Dan's wisdom offers a roadmap for living a balanced and fulfilling life, rooted in the principles of a peaceful heart and a warrior spirit.Please enjoy my conversation with Dan Millman.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.
