Send us a text Weather Modification - Is it real or a conspiracy? Off the top, we need to address the elephant in the room. Is weather modification real or is it a grand conspiracy? Well, the following article will help us discern the truth. The article titled, 'Despite past failures, weather modification endures,' from American Association for the Advancement of Science states; " For centuries there have been attempts to manipulate the weather, from ancient rituals designed to bring rain, to mo...

Send us a text I'm fresh off the heels of a magical visit with my eldest. Did our love and joy open up a rainbow portal? Not sure. What I know is I come away from our meaty conversations a better person. They brought up something I'd never known the term for, but feels more important than ever to revitalize NOW. I'll explain, I promise. Let's get into it. Show Sources and Materials Definition and History of Third Places, Wikipedia The unfortunate, ongoing disappearance of 'third places,' The Wee...

Send us a text This entire episode comes with a trigger warning. It is not for the faint of heart. Be warned. For those that are still with me, have you ever heard of spontaneous human combustion? I'd argue one of the most mysterious ways to die, if true, then why does this phenomenon stop and start over the course of a century and a half and then...just...disappear? Let's get into it.

Send us a text Have you watched any of the Missing 411 movies? Former police officer, David Paulides, is the guy behind them. He has been collecting records for countless strange missing persons cases across the United States for years, then compiling the ones that have the same fact patterns into books and movies. I've learned much from Paulides, and the disappearances, from staying safe outdoors to always telling someone where you are going, and where you expect to return, as well as place nam...

Send us a text Do you believe in ghosts? Have you ever seen one? Known someone who has? Would you like to? I'll have tips at the end of this episode that might increase your odds of seeing a ghost. The telling of a ghost story around a campfire or a candlelit room wakes a primal strand of our DNA. It transforms a power outage into a lifelong memory, and might lead us to snuggle closer to our partner. As the leaves quiver in the wind, and nightfall bleeds into daytime hours, the timing is right t...

Not just the ones that get caught in your teeth after eating berries, or those you spit out while noshing on a wedge of watermelon, ALL seeds. What they are, how they disperse, the special vault of world seeds, and more. I hope as you sow seeds into your local pea patch or garden that you look at those little bits with a tad more reverence after the episode. Let’s get into it.

Send us a text When pondering, debating, writing or planning our focus tends fall to the extremes; this or that, which means we ignore the stuff in-between. It probably traces back to some survival mechanism our ancestors developed to determine what foods were safe to eat, what passages were too risky to travel, where we might be safe to sleep at night, and what hours of the day to do which behaviors. But like the ego, which we've discussed in past episodes, maybe it's time for a human upgrade. ...

With the run up to the November election in full swing - saddled between the RNC and DNC national conventions, I thought it was a great moment in history to check our collective guts.

I've read all I can on the group online and I have to say, they seem like people that want to uplift humanity and heal the Earth.

I've had to cut them, then RECUT them after they grew back starter roots. Again and again, this happened. It can be exhausting AND invigorating. I've confessed my old psychic vampire ways to you on a prior episode – which is why my daily routine NOW includes checking for voids and then reenforcing my vessel.

I reject offers from political figures to appear. This is not my focus. But, I feel a hand on my shoulder to share something with you.

When I woke up and journaled the dream in its entirety, I texted my daughters, because both had been in the dream. They're used to weird, trippy texts from me, and my desire to pass along any messages intended for them. My eldest said that the cow might've been a message for me. And that's how I got to this place, where I am teaching ...

Send us a text Episode Intro Last week I shared stories of my recent trip to Japan. There's one story, though, that's taken on a life of its own since being stateside once again. It all began with a visit to Tokyo National Museum in Uedo Park, seeing objects that have become icons in the UFO/UAP communities. If that wasn't enough, those odd clay figures led me to seek out some of the burial pyramids where they were found. And because I can't let sleeping dogs lie, I dug into the theories about t...

And though I did not pack my podcaster hat, I couldn't help but immerse myself in the country, the culture, and sought off the beaten trail places where ancient history was kept alive right next to mega-modern skyscrapers. I had to share some of my favorite stories, and moments, with you, and am doing a deep dive into the clay figurines I saw first hand at the Tokyo Nationa...

No. I was researching ghost stories around Halloween and stumbled on the true account of a cursed tree in Oregon.

Zoological information? We know every species, every adaptation, every nuance. Science? Yes, these are theories, but they have been tested and true. Scientists STILL wear the word, 'theory' like a itchy wool coat. It's beyond uncomfortable. But as I grew up and kept looking for knowledge, I saw previously...

It had great information, an interesting story and a powerful message but was buried in a tangle of crossed wires. You see, the provenance of the Emerald Tablet is complicated.
