FLASHBACK FRIDAYS: REVEALED: Secret ANCIENT Teachings Shown to CHANGE LIVES! with Brad Warner

FLASHBACK FRIDAYS: REVEALED: Secret ANCIENT Teachings Shown to CHANGE LIVES! with Brad Warner

In the realm of spirituality and Zen Buddhism, today's guest offers a unique blend of insight and experience. We welcome Brad Warner, a Zen Buddhist teacher and author of the profound book, "The Other Side of Nothing." Brad Warner has traversed a fascinating journey from the material world of entertainment to the deep, contemplative practices of Zen, bringing a fresh and accessible perspective to these ancient teachings.Brad's spiritual path began in an unlikely place—Africa. As a child, he was captivated by the vibrant religious iconography of the Indian population in Nairobi. This early exposure led him to explore Eastern religions, culminating in his study of Zen Buddhism at Kent State University. It was there that he encountered the transformative words of the Heart Sutra: "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form." This revelation marked the beginning of his deep dive into Zen practice.

SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
  1. The Essence of Meditation: Meditation stands at the core of Zen Buddhism, a practice that Brad insists is indispensable. "Meditation was the easiest way," he explains, drawing on his teacher's wisdom. This daily practice is not about achieving bliss but about engaging fully with the present moment, free from the constant pull of future desires.
  2. Understanding Non-Duality: Zen teaches the concept of non-duality, the idea that there is no true separation between the self and the universe. Brad likens individuals to puzzle pieces, each one essential to completing the whole picture. This view fosters a sense of interconnectedness and shared existence.
  3. Letting Go of Desires: A significant part of Zen practice is learning to let go of desires. Brad shares how meditation helps in this process, allowing practitioners to release each desire as it arises, making way for a more peaceful and centered life. "The best way to get any of those benefits is to forget about trying to get them," he advises.
Brad's exploration of Zen is deeply rooted in the teachings of Zen masters who emphasize the practice as "good for nothing." This phrase, which may initially seem off-putting, encourages practitioners to engage in meditation without the expectation of future rewards, thereby embracing the present fully.Throughout our conversation, Brad sheds light on complex concepts like karma and reincarnation. He describes karma as action and reaction, a principle that highlights the interconnectedness of our actions and their consequences. Reincarnation, he explains, is less about individual continuity and more about the flow of life, similar to the lighting of one candle from another.Brad's unexpected journey from a career in the entertainment industry to becoming a Zen teacher underscores the unpredictable nature of spiritual paths. Initially resistant to teaching, he ultimately embraced it as his calling, recognizing it as his contribution to the world. "It seems to be what the universe wants from me," he reflects.In this profound conversation, Brad Warner offers practical insights while inviting us to explore the deeper mysteries of existence. His teachings remind us that the ultimate purpose of life may simply be to engage fully in each moment, responding to the needs of the present with awareness and compassion.

Please enjoy my conversation with Brad Warner.

BONUS MONDAYS: Woman Dies, Has the MOST PROFOUND Near Death Experience We EVER Heard! (NDE) with Sara Jayne

BONUS MONDAYS: Woman Dies, Has the MOST PROFOUND Near Death Experience We EVER Heard! (NDE) with Sara Jayne

In the tapestry of our lives, we sometimes encounter moments that reshape our very essence. On today’s episode, we welcome the remarkable Sara Jayne, a woman whose journey through near-death experiences (NDEs) has profoundly changed her understanding of life, death, and everything in between. Sara’s tale begins with a stark reality that many of us might find unsettling, yet it is in this unease that we often find the seeds of our greatest enlightenment.Sara Jayne’s first near-death experience occurred after the birth of her second child. As she hovered above her own body in the operating room, she observed the medical team’s frantic efforts to save her. This detachment from her physical form brought a strange sense of neutrality. “I was not distressed, I wasn't attached to the outcome. It was more of an observation,” she recalls. This initial brush with death did not immediately alter her life's course, but it planted a seed of curiosity that would bloom many years later during her second NDE.Fast forward to 2018, after enduring years of a debilitating autoimmune disease, Sara found herself on the brink of death once more. This time, the experience was even more profound. She describes an ethereal journey where she left her body through her feet, ascending towards a realm of unimaginable love and light. Here, she encountered a presence she identified as the source of all existence, a being of pure, unconditional love. “It was like coming home,” she says, reflecting the comfort and familiarity of this divine encounter.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.Take your spiritual journey to the next level with Next Level Soul TV — our dedicated streaming home for conscious storytelling and soulful transformation.Experience exclusive programs, original series, movies, tv shows, workshops, audiobooks, meditations, and a growing library of inspiring content created to elevate, heal, and awaken.

FLASHBACK FRIDAYS: VATICAN COVER-UP: KNIGHTS TEMPLAR and the Secret HOLY BLOODLINE of Jesus! with Templar Timothy Hogan

FLASHBACK FRIDAYS: VATICAN COVER-UP: KNIGHTS TEMPLAR and the Secret HOLY BLOODLINE of Jesus! with Templar Timothy Hogan

On today's episode, we welcome Timothy Hogan, a Grand Master of the Knights Templar, who brings to light centuries-old mysteries, including the Vatican's secrets and the Holy Bloodline of Jesus. In our fascinating conversation, Hogan reveals deep connections between ancient orders, suppressed knowledge, and the role of the Templars in preserving sacred truths. Our exploration moves beyond historical timelines and into realms of spiritual wisdom that continue to resonate today. Timothy Hogan opens by explaining the origin of Friday the 13th as unlucky, a date tied to the infamous rounding up of the Knights Templar in 1307 by the Roman Church. As Hogan notes, the Templar Order, rich in spiritual wisdom and guardians of sacred treasures like the Holy Grail, had long been perceived as a threat by the powers that sought to control religious narratives.They were not only warriors but also custodians of profound spiritual truths, including Gnostic and alchemical knowledge, which set them apart from the mainstream religious structures of the time. He shares that the Templars viewed Christ as more than a religious figure confined to the Roman Church’s teachings. To the Templars, Jesus embodied universal consciousness—an idea closely linked to the wisdom of Eastern traditions, such as the teachings of Krishna and Buddha. Hogan highlights how the Templars understood the "Christos" as a cosmic principle that transcended physicality, merging esoteric Christian teachings with philosophies from ancient Egypt and India. One of the most mind-opening parts of our dialogue was Hogan’s revelation of the Templars' connection to the Holy Grail.As he explains, the Grail is not merely a physical cup but a symbol for something much more profound: the connection between individual consciousness and the universal divine mind. “The Grail represents that mystical union between the personal and the cosmic, the finite and the infinite,” says Hogan. The Templars understood this spiritual alchemy, embodying the idea that we are all walking temples, capable of connecting directly to the divine.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.Take your spiritual journey to the next level with Next Level Soul TV — our dedicated streaming home for conscious storytelling and soulful transformation.Experience exclusive programs, original series, movies, tv shows, workshops, audiobooks, meditations, and a growing library of inspiring content created to elevate, heal, and awaken.

FLASHBACK FRIDAYS: TOP Psychic REVEALS the SECRET ENERGETIC BATTLE for HUMANITY'S SOUL! with Carol Collins

FLASHBACK FRIDAYS: TOP Psychic REVEALS the SECRET ENERGETIC BATTLE for HUMANITY'S SOUL! with Carol Collins

On today's episode, we welcome the remarkable Carol Collins, a dynamic and insightful channeler and medium. Carol, often referred to as America's Medium, bridges the gap between the physical and non-physical realms, bringing through teachings from a collective of non-physical beings known as "The Teachers." Her journey from a structured, logical career in IT and the military to the fluid, intuitive world of channeling is nothing short of extraordinary. Carol's early life was deeply rooted in structure and discipline. As a former Marine and a professional in the Department of Defense, she thrived in environments that valued precision and order. However, a significant personal upheaval in her mid-forties led her to explore deeper, more esoteric realms of existence. "I had what everybody had at some point—a mid-life crisis," she recalls. It was during this period of introspection and isolation that Carol's intuitive abilities began to surface, leading her down an unexpected path. Carol's first profound spiritual encounter came through a serendipitous experience with a video of Esther Hicks channeling Abraham. "Within that 15 minutes, the whole front of my chest became warm, and it was like this vibration," she shares. This experience ignited a curiosity and a deep sense of connection that guided her towards a daily practice of meditation. Over the next nine months, her intuitive abilities blossomed, eventually leading to her first channeled messages. In her role as a channeler, Carol brings forth teachings that cover a wide array of spiritual topics. These teachings are organized into what she refers to as the "Four Pillars of Learning": conscious life and the purpose of physical existence, the law of attraction and thought creation, using source frequency to heal, and intuitive development. These pillars form the foundation of her work, offering a comprehensive roadmap for spiritual growth and self-healing.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.Take your spiritual journey to the next level with Next Level Soul TV — our dedicated streaming home for conscious storytelling and soulful transformation.Experience exclusive programs, original series, movies, tv shows, workshops, audiobooks, meditations, and a growing library of inspiring content created to elevate, heal, and awaken.
