Destiny: Program Highlights from 2024

wellness developed as they evolved. And when I say wellness, I'm talking about meditative practices, consciousness raising practices, body exercises that triggered hormonal releases, were benefits like yoga, like taichi, like stretching, and Destiny came out of Earth Ancients. Need

to discuss those without making them Earth Ancients topics. So although we cross over and get into a lot of consciousness, a lot of wellness topics, and everything in between, it really is a standalone web podcast, it's a standalone podcast on a lot of levels. And because of that, in twenty twenty five early I'm hoping in the verse month or two, we're releasing a website for Destiny. It's all things Destiny. It'll be the podcast itself and a way

to listen to the older programs. It'll be a resource of content, products, services, references, consultations that you can go to. And they'll also be a whole section on the books as well as comments, articles and so forth and so on. So it's going to be a full service website that

you would never see on the Earth ancients. So rather than letting Destiny kind of follow the back drop, a lot of you have been asking for more material, more resources, more content outside of just the podcast, and so our job, my team and myself, our job is to present the content in the form of an audio, and we will also have a YouTube channel where you can actually see and hear the that we have each week and get

that sense of who they are as well as the audio. Now, the website again, we're going to be launching it probably at the end of January, if not sooner, and giving

you a chance to comment on it. And that means that it's a whole social media aspect as well, which means it's gonna there's gonna be a Facebook page, there's going to be a probably an X page you formerly Twitter, and an Instagram page, because there's a lot of information that can be presented in the form of products, in the form of services, and a lot of you don't have access to this in your in your city or

your state. Uh, there's certain certain parts of the country are more active in the wellness and the personal growth the conscious area than others, and so there should be access to everything that we have on this podcast Destiny. So if you if you don't find it on the website, you'll find it on Instagram, or you'll find it on Facebook, or you'll find it on X and so forth and

so on. So we want to make as much available as possible and give you access to whoever's on the program, and that's you know, it's a big list of individuals. We have a once a week show every Wednesday, and it makes sense to have a website, and so I'm really excited about it. Mark Foster, who's in London, is

working on it. We have the we have the basic lookdown, very very easy to navigate and of course resources and that takes a little more time, but the basic platform website will be up i'd say within thirty days and I'll make the announce when it does go up. So there you go. Twenty twenty five, we are recognizing Destiny as a important part of the First Ancients network. I always say Destiny is are our little sister, but it's

really standalone. I mean, we have the best of the best on many of those programs, including all the topics we touch with. We touch on. So today's program is a taste of wellness, consciousness, paranormal, and we even threw a little bit of artificial intelligence in there, so just kind of sweeten it up. But I want to also mention that twenty twenty four is or was an important

contributor to our ability to move beyond the mundane. And the mundane is what we're doing in the physical body, and the techniques are offered on Destiny should be a consideration of yours. If you are sedentary and you don't get up and move enough, think about yoga, think about taking a basic course. I don't go to a class anywhere after COVID because basically COVID shut all the group

participation down because you couldn't really mingle. I continued on with my yoga practice, and I practice yoga maybe three or four times a week in the morning. If you don't have a stretching program. It is critical to staying well, to stay in mobile. I mean, as you get older, it's tougher to stretch, it's tougher to bend over. And when you sit half the day, you gain weight and you're less active and the body is like what are you doing? You got to get up and move. So

I really urge you to think think about yoga. And it doesn't matter how old you are. If you're in your eighties and nineties and you're not that mobile, you can stretch in your chair. There's stretching exercises where you've been forward, you've been to the left, you've been to the right, you've been back. That can be enough for real, real wellness. And of course if you can stand, if you can walk, going beyond sitting and being immobile is critical.

It's really important now. If yoga is not your thing, tai Chi is another excellent exercise. And of course we had recently somebody on the show talking about walking and walking is huge. It is huge. So make twenty twenty five. You know, if you're into the resolutions for the new year, make movement one of those, because it's really going to help you in the long run, stay young, stay active mentally, physically and spiritually, and help you move forward into the

new year. So with that being said, our program today is with a number of different authors. I think it was one, two, three, four, five, six different programs that we took highlights from and they are what I thought a good crossover of highlights. So today's program is Program Highlights for twenty twenty four and the guests are a variety of people that we've had, mostly authors, but there's

some specialists as well, and Happy New Year. So in presenting Program Highlights from twenty twenty four, we're looking at impactful interviews that really highlight the human condition. And what does that mean. Human condition is we're physical beings. That's the number one thing we recognize that most of us are getting up. We want to make sure we're well.

We don't want to be sick, and we are working, we're interacting, we're having relationships, we're having personal and professional success and problems, and so we want to highlight the programs the interviews that bring this all together. So we're talking physical, we're talking mental, spiritual, and beyond. And so this series of interviews were highlights that bring together everything that we present on destiny from different avenues, be it consciousness.

We even have highlights from fasting, which is a big one for me, how to raise your frequency, spiritual experience, breathing, and so forth. So these are all this is kind of a s mortgageborg of some of the better presentations for the year twenty twenty four. We've had some fantastic guests who are speaking on spirituality religion, how the two intertwine, how a spiritual life may be different than a religious

spiritual life, and what's the difference of the two. In this interview, we hear from Jonathan eller B and the information he provides in his book The Seven Gateways to Spiritual Experience. And I was very impressed in this description of what it means to be spiritual, how it integrates with current Western philosophy, as well as what I'm interested in, which is Eastern philosophy, Eastern religion if you want to call it, religion, and the spiritual practice that separates organized

religion and Eastern religion. I think it's a great revelation for you to say this started at this young age, because you have accumulated up until now a lifetime of discovery where you're explaining, and you're exploring, and you're able to vocalize as a teacher and also as a minister this sacred life. And I'm curious talk a little bit about the different avenues of spirituality. And when I use the word avenues, we're more than a physical being. You've

described that and we understand that. But is there a guidance through the unseeing side? Is there what they call spiritual helpers angels? Now we talk a lot on this program about the Akashak records, is that something we tap into. Talk a little a little bit about where this experience comes from, because it's not just you're tripping over and all of a sudden the sky opens in booming voices. Hello, this is Lord Jesus Christ or whoever. You know. Some

people do have that too. But about the array, Yeah.

where does it come from? And the reason why I identify both these things is because unless you're naturally prone to spiritual experience on the guidance that you're talking about, you're gonna need to get in a vehicle to go. So, so to use the metaphor, it's like some people can just walk and they travel the territory, they're just there, Yeah, But most of us have to get on a horse or get in a car or a boat or a

plane and then explore the landscape. And I encourage people to think about it like that because in terms of vehicles, I recommend that people consider teachers, practices, philosophies, and experiences. These four things ultimately comprise your spiritual path. If you

want to make a path. Okay, so that's you have some teacher, like an individual or small group of individuals that you learn from practices that would be things like yoga, meditation, a Bible study, sweat lodge, right philosophy, the body of knowledge that comes out of those teachers and practices, and

then your lived experience can't all just be handed to you. Now, if you don't have a religious tradition or a spiritual tradition, and they usually have all these tied up in a bow for you, then I say, for anyone listening to your shelf, you don't know where to begin, or you just kind of do this part of me, You just do this shit on your own. You really need to pick at least one of these three teacher practice philosophy and commit to it for a period of time, or

you're never gonna get up the mountain. Right if you don't pick a teacher and stick with them, pick a practice and stick with it, pick a philosophy and stick with it. It would kind of be like you go to a parking lot of a beautiful hike that leads up the summit of a low mountain, and there's several trails to get to the top, and you walk up one, and then twenty minutes later you're like, I like this trail,

I'm going back to the parking lot. I'm gonna check the map and pick a different one, and then you go ten minutes up the next one you're like, that's too steep, and then you go back down and the day's over. And you've gone nowhere. You spend a lot of time in the parking lot. So that's most people on the spiritual journey today. But there is something up. So we've just talked about the vehicles, but then there's

the territory. And to the other side of your question, I absolutely believe, for lack of a better word, there's something out there that is not us. It is not psychological, it is not a projection, it is not neurological. Although when we interact with this other dimension or these other dimensions of our reality, it registers neurologically. It impacts us psychologically, and we see in the modern medical and scientific community a lot of struggle trying to understand which is the

tale and which is the dog. And interesting if you look at the work, for example, of Andrew Neuberg, acclaimed neuroscientist. Even he you know, rigorous education, high Ivy League associations, even he is quick to say, no, we cannot prove that this is all generated in the brain. When we measure the brain. When someone is seeing a spirit, it actually registers the same way as when someone sees their

friend arrive or a dog walk by. It doesn't look like we're creating this the imagination center is not engaged. Frontal lobes shutdown. It is like literally the same as meeting a person. So, yes, there is another dimension out there, and we can be guided by it. We should be guided by it. It must inform our spiritual journey or otherwise we are doing nothing other than living in relationship to humans and human teachings.

that's a bunch of garbage. I think there's all kinds of people that are quote spiritual, that are full of it and are self deceiving and egocentric and making shit up as they go. And I think there's all kinds of religious people that are profoundly connected and incredibly wise and loving and the opposite, right, all kinds of horrific. I mean, I don't even know if I can talk about this on your show. I don't want to be

too controversial. I mean, Donald Trump is coming out with a Bible that he's endorsing because it's got, you know, documents in it that support his agenda. I mean, give me a break. Like, there's all kinds of people that manipulate and waste the power of religion. Of course, people have abused religion forever, and the same is true of spirituality. And yes, spirituality is also powerful. It's essential to healing. It's a part of who we are. So my answer to your question is that it has to do with

the placement of spiritual experience. I think in the religious life, what we see is that the teachers, the practices, and the philosophies. As I talked about earlier, they come first, and if you have an experience, well good for you. We hope you feel something in church. We hope you feel something in synagogue. We hope you feel something at the mosque. Now, don't try to run the place. Don't go telling everyone about it. You're not in charge, right.

We got the teachers, we got the teaching, we got the practices, and hopefully you'll feel something in there. In spirituality, I believe it's flipped, so we are driven by experience, we're driven by the personal call. Typically people who say they live a spiritual life are referring to something that is intimate, that is personal, that is active and meaningful, and it may have expression in a religious community and

it may not. But whether a person is religious or not spiritual as their focus or not, I think what drives the difference is the personal journey, the idea that the religion just serves the journey, versus the religious life where the religion is the journey. And that's of course where it gets all messed up.

And for some reason, this is a challenge even today for Orthodoxy and religious Orthodoxy because in some ways I think that they feel that you are being empowered to a degree where you're a god like and that's blasphemy.

So as a minister, although it's in your inner faith, and I don't know that entailed, but talk a little bit about using these Eastern philosophies that are ancient, tens of thousands of years old, and how they open us and should be used today to experience what you call the sacred.

if it challenges them. And I think there's a few basic things going on that I love to name for people so they can understand what they see. The first is a phenom a sociological phenomena through you know, anthropology and sociology we've studied and we know happens all over the world and has happened throughout time, which is when a new movement emerges, such as a spiritual movement. Let's

just use Christianity as an example. It is profoundly common, like almost universal, not universal, but it's pretty common for the human animal to vilify or demonize whatever movement we are moving away from. So it's not enough to say we found the gospel. There's an incredible teacher on the planet named Jesus, or or the spirit of Jesus came back, and we're living a new way. I mean, that's miraculous to me. I think that's wonderful. I have no problem

with that. But see what humans do with it is then, and we do this with cars and music and politics. Then, instead of being okay with just saying this is what I believe, now, we make what I used to believe, or what's around me, or what my neighbors do, we make that bad or dangerous. Don't talk to them, don't be near them, They're gonna damn you forever. Right. That sets the stage for all kinds of human atrocities. I'll

just leave it at that. The next dimension of why I think we see this phenomena of why the religious are fearful of change or outside influence or spiritual experience, is another human frailty, which is control an egoism, which is everywhere again. Car dealers are like that, chefs are like that, parents are like that, And that is simply to say we want to keep people in our seats and we don't want them going to other seats. We want people to be a part of our crew, not

another crew. But here's the last thing, and I think you touched on it. It sets the stage for talking about Eastern tradition. I think that in recent generations we've seen a political co opting of this consciousness, which is to say that we want the minds of people. And I don't know that it's explicit. I don't believe that this is a conspiracy. Personally, I think it's happened unconsciously. But we like people complacent, we like people predictable. We

like to focus on normalization and standards. We don't want to be running people through schools where you know, and it's starting to happen anyway. We don't want to run schools where diversity is celebrated and where kids are tripping out and where people understand that reality is negotiable. What kind of a society would that be?

different people. The Eastern traditions in particular, now going specifically to that.

And through meditation and other similar practices, we can not only glimpse that, but we can even ultimately, in the case of enlightenment or Satori or somebodi, we can even merge with it. And when we return to our lives, we are empowered because we understand the power of mind, the power of present moment, and interestingly, and maybe I'll just stop there, because there's a lot to say to say about the gifts of different traditions, including the West.

But interestingly, in my years of study and work, some of the most influential wise impactful Christian leaders that I've known, and Jewish leaders that I've known for that matter, have been open to Eastern traditions.

our interactions with others. His book is You Were Not Born to Suffer. And here's an excerpt from that interview that leads me to my next topic, which is self esteem. Yeah, and you have a chapter called Healing Guilt, shame, and Insecurity,

which leads to self esteem. And I'd like you to talk a little bit about how we nurture our self esteem and of course your book provides excellent affirmations and tools for nurturing self esteem, but I'd like for you to talk to the listeners about some of the technique perhaps that you've found are the best and most beneficial.

yourself and how do I do that practically? And so if someone's listening and they feel like they struggle with their sense of self esteem and self worth, the most important thing to understan stand is that we got here because early on we never learned to feel and believe that we were worthy and that we mattered, okay, And practically, how that shows up is because basically we repeat our habits every day and that's how we get to where

we are. And so the habit that leads to bad self esteem and poor self worth is saying to yourself, I don't matter or I'm not worthy. And how that plays out is when you say my feelings don't matter, my needs don't matter, my preferences, or my calling doesn't matter.

And so a lot of times, in relationships and throughout our life, a lot of us are living on a day to day basis where we internalize, repress, reject our feelings, We internalize, repress, reject our needs, We internalize, repress, reject our calling or our desires, either because we're just not aware of them right we're on auto pirate, or we're afraid to talk about him, or we have never learned the tools to talk about them effectively and we don't

want to make a mess. You know, we're self conscious about even beginning the conversation. And so when you feel something and you don't express it, you're betraying yourself. When you need something and you don't express it, you're betraying yourself. When you feel called or passionate about something, but you're always stopping yourself out of fear, you're betraying yourself, which

means you're hurting yourself with all these habits. Okay, and then the other thing that comes in the same theme is that when you don't train your mind and your mind is running all over the place every day, you're betraying yourself. You are hurting yourself because you're allowing your mind and your thoughts to just do whatever, and you're the victim of those unhealthy thoughts. So you know, Cliff, if I was your brother and I betrayed you and hurt you on a daily basis, would you trust me?

have a lot of value. But also I don't trust myself, and a lot of self esteem has to do with trusting yourself and valuing yourself. So then the question is okay, well, I see I don't value myself because I keep letting myself be mistreated. I'm abusing myself, I'm rechecking my true self. So how do I change this? While the key is to learn how to start being your own best friend, being good to yourself, being loving to yourself in the

present as a practice, just like transcendental meditation. Right, it's like twenty minutes a day, twice a day.

to the moment you go to bed. And every time you express what you're really feeling, every time you express what you need, every time you act in integrity with your inner calling, your instinct, your intuition, what's really going on inside of you, you start to trust yourself again and you're telling yourself just a little bit more that day that you are worthy, you matter, you're valuable, and

over time you rebuild trust in yourself. It's just like let's say you've been married to someone for twenty years and you have kids and you have this life together, and one of you really fucks up and betrays the

other one. Right, there are a lot of certain situations where in that marriage they will work to come back together and try and trust each other again because they have built so much together that they don't want to lose it all right, Yeah, and that's kind of like our relationship to ourself is like you have been with yourself for decades.

actually do that? And so, for example, taking care of your mind is one of those secrets, because if you don't take care of your mind and train it, you'll never trust yourself fully. How can you have full self esteem and self confidence if your mind is all over a place and you don't trust your thinking and you don't trust your reactions, and you don't trust your perception

on reality, you can't have strong self esteem, right. So that's the key is to learn how to take really good care of yourself in the present, and then you're rebuilding trust on a daily basis.

for an affirmation for self esteem? Okay, beautiful, I think it'd be great. Give us you know how we proceed, how we would use an affirmation to begin building self esteem. Absolutely so.

And then the other thing we do a lot is we have a lot of fear or so we also wary a lot, right, And we all realize that worry plays out on thoughts. And there's a saying, I'm sure you've heard that I love, which is that you know, worrying is like praying for what you don't want, right, So affirmations help you pray for what you want. Affirmations help you pray for how you want to feel right

and how you want to be. And then the other thing is is that when you wake up in the morning, your brain starts to fire off thoughts, right, and those thoughts are typically based on your conditioning. And we wake up and a lot of us start thinking like, oh man, what I got to do today. I'm so stressed, I'm

so anxious. I got a zillion things to do, And so that's causing parts of your brain to fire that are tied to fear and to stress, and when that happens, your body starts producing unhealthy chemicals like birds.

Just saying that thought to yourself turns on a part of your brain that has been off, and that part of your brain starts to release serotonin and dopamine.

her book, unlocking your life purpose. And this is a segment of that interview where Francesca is highlighting how she clears her blockages and her life purpose and opens to and it opens to more access and opens more access to her life purpose through these breathwork techniques. In your experience, what would you say is the percentage of people who are doing what their life purpose is versus those who are stuck in a job or in a lifestyle that

is manufactured. Perhaps the parents suggested it and they went through life following their parents' guidance. I think a lot of people do this, by the way, Yes I'll go to school. Yes, mom and dad, I'll be a doctor. Yes, mom and dad, I'll get this kind of job. And they're miserable. Yeah, but talk a bit about in your experience now, since you've launched Mastery, people who are in the right place.

lost time, because that's not true either. Whatever job you've chosen right now has given you a set of skills, has given you relationships, has given you a network, has given you experience, and a lot of that is going to be transferable, and a lot of that also has clues into the next level or the next path that you're meant to pursue. I had a long career in advertising and marketing, and none of that has been wasted. I used all of that knowledge to build my personal brand.

I've used all of that to build the brand for Mastery, and all of those colleagues, a lot of them have started my breathwork journey with me, coming to my community classes. A lot of those people have become investors in my company. So nothing is wasted where you are now, but there's just an opportunity for you to find more fulfillment in what you do next.

You go into your subconscious, and your subconscious is the storehouse. That's where all of your memories, everything that's inspired you, your beliefs, your values, your emotions, everything lives in your subconscious. So breath takes you to this more expansive place where you have more options, you have more possibilities, you have more visions, you have more downloads. And the interesting thing that starts to happen is when we play the right

music and when we say the right cues. You know, if I said to you Cliff in a song for you know, I want you to see the highest version of your life. I want you to see your dream home. I want you to see the travel, I want you to see your family. You will all of a sudden get these pictures. And the really cool thing is, I feel like there's a really beautiful distinction between visualization and

visioning because visualization we sort of curate that image. And again, when you're breathing and you're visualizing, the defenses and the doubt and what you can create are down and then you have this opportunity to see something bigger. But when you're visioning, that's a download from the universe. That's just like this picture that gets dropped down and you're like, oh, whoa, I didn't know that was the north Star and now

I had this clarity of where I'm going. I can give you a specific example to help paint that picture. You know, when I started breathwork coaching, I've always been pretty ambitious, So I was like, all right, if I'm going to become a breathwork coach, I'm going to be on Goop. I'm going to do sessions for Gwyneth Paltrow,

Reese Witherspoon, Jenea on a stand. I'm gonna go to This is like going to be my clients hell and I would do breathwork and it was like, no, You're going on a book tour and I was like, whoa, I'm an author. So that was a vision that I got from breathwork before I really started writing or I even had plans to put a book out into the world. That vision came through, and then I knew exactly where I was going that I wasn't meant to be the

you know, the celebrity breathwork coach. I was actually meant to write a book.

personal story with you, Cliff. You know, I came off a week of a grind on this book launch. You know, I was in like seven cities in two weeks. I was extremely exhausted by the time I got home, and I was convinced that my partner was not being supportive enough, and I was so mad at him. I was like, can't you have more patience with me? Couldn't you just have like dinner ready? Like don't you know I need sleep? Like oh, my god, what couldn't he be so not

understanding of my schedule? Like, what is his problem? I was one hundred percent sure that he was the problem. I went into breathwork the next morning and I saw and I was bawling because this reflection and revelation was so enlightening to me. But I was like, I'm the problem. I have completely deprioritized my relationship because of this book launch. I have put him on the back burner. I have not showed up, and now I'm expecting more from him, but I'm giving less. And I was like, holy shit,

I'm in the wrong. And I couldn't believe it, Cliff, I couldn't believe I was the one in the flock. That's what breath does is it gets to the truth. It gets to your most authentic truth, and you can never escape the real emotion that's really residing in your body. So that's one thing that I just really love about it.

And that's why I also think that you have to do it consistently, because even somebody who's been breathing every day for five years, I'm still coming up against areas where I'm wrong and my conscious mind is, you know, disconnected to my subconscious motivations. So while you can definitely have cathartic releases that are life changing in one session, which I've had several of those, and they've changed a behavior pattern from one trigger being dissolved or one revelation

being just completely exposed from the route. I have to do this consistently, which is why I built the app, because I know we all need to do this consistently because there's been too much conditioning, there's been too many stories or expectations from our parents or society or brainwashing that we have to do this work every single morning, every single day, take action from that place in order for the results to really last.

and so on. And in this interview with Selina Matrea, who is the author of Raise Your Frequency, Transform Your Life, she discusses her own transformation after a auto accident which left her brain somewhat numb, and how she came out of it and how she began sensing energy. I've been practicing energy work when I was very young. I became a reiki dealer. And I don't do it that I do it on myself or my girlfriend, but that's energy

and it's an ancient energy understanding. But you're asking us to look at the energy of the body and how we distribute it. So how do we recognize that, because that's.

get attention. So this concept of responding to difficulty with more of the same is so ingrained in us, and then we're conditioned by the families we grow up and by society to do the same thing. We're also taught that our brain is the most important part of our body. What were you thinking, my mother used to say to me, or somebody who's interested in what's going on in your brain? Local what are you thinking?

difficult happens. They dive deeper. They start creating stories. They tell the stories to other people, and suddenly they're keeping these stories alive longer than they need to be. Because we're trained to use our brain and our emotions, we're not trained to use our energy fields. We're not even introduced to them. We're told that they don't even exist.

So what we're doing here, which I'm so excited about and on a mission to share with as many people as possible, is that our energy fields were always meant to be our daily GPS. And so as we recognize, as we move through the day, we have the opportunity to use to answer your question, we have the opportunity

to use the emotional body. So I go through my day and it's like, you know, I wake up in the morning and I live on a pond, and I had this gorgeous view, and I wake up in the morning, and I'm like so excited because I've had a good sleep and I'm full of what's going to happen today, and so I'm ready to get started. And so I'm at high frequency. So I recognize, ooh, I'm at high frequency.

Or if I've had a night where spirits keeping me up and they do this a lot, and they take me on these journeys and they keep me up for three or four hours, I don't get any sleep. I wake up the next day and I'm like, you know, I really am not feeling all that great. So I get to recognize that. And when I recognize I'm not all that great, I immediately shift my attention and I go into a meditation to clear out the energy from the night, and I wake up and I'm feeling so

much better. So that the structure here is to be aware, through our emotions and our thoughts what's happening, and to use the practices that are given in the book very easy to use to shift to become aware and to access the vibrational system. So understandable. You would say, I don't even know, Like I've done reiki and I know what that feels like, but how do I experience that on my own and that so the book teaches you.

It teaches you how to acknowledge, how to access and how to actualize the high frequency energy at any moment of the day, even in the middle of trauma. So it's a process and it comes. The first step comes with awareness of our state and then the willingness to learn how to choose our states. So it's like anything else.

If I want to consciousness is a muscle, right, and if I want to get bigger biceps, which I do at sixty nine, I have some freeways that sit across the room, and if they sit across the room, cliff they do nothing. But when I pick them up and use them, my muscle gets really well developed. Why because I put my attention on it, and I I took the instrument that's needed to grow the muscle. Consciousness is

the same. So for most people who don't know they have this muscle, who don't know how to access it, that's what the book does. It teaches them how to access it and then how to use it. And that's why it's a workbook because I wanted not to just do teaching. I've gone to lots of workshops I've read tons of books, and I've been so grateful to the many teachers that are out there, but I have left more workshops going wow, how wonderful was that? But what

do I do now? I've read so many books that were like, what a great book, But what do I do now? I'm overwhelmed. So the book was meant to be a workbook, and it's structured as a regular book, but in each chapter it's written sequentially. I didn't think about this. Spirit gave it to me this way. They told me exactly what practices to put in, and then I pulled stories from my student that illustrated. So each chapter has a theme to it, and the book grows so you're able to take it in one chapter at

a time. And each chapter has a theme and then practices related to that and then a story from a student that speaks to that theme.

Talk a little bit about the energetics of the heart and it's important in sensing energy.

in the heart. When I think somebody somewhere decided that the heart was a really beautiful instrument and that maybe this is where our energy lies, it's kind of like somebody decided one day that yawning meant that you were bored, So everybody thinks when you're yawning, you're bored. And I don't know where that came from. So I'm not disputing that we have an energy system. We do, but I can't really speak to the heart as that because for me, it's a system that runs through our entire being, and

I don't know that it has any central location. I just know that there is the ability for us to we have to take ourselves out of this because this is all so distracting to experience the interior of who we are. So when we close our eyes, when we go to quiet, there is a practice, very easy, unbelievable. One of the reason I got the book, and this is indeed the book, Raise your Frequency, Transform your Life.

The acquisitions editor at in Our Traditions said that it was the breath of life practice that sold him on the book because he was a Buddhist for thirty years and couldn't stop his monkey mind and picked up the practice and it was gone. So the breath of life is a practice that takes us to have the experience of the soul level of our body.

good recap for twenty twenty four. I almost preach at the problems with allopathic medicine what we term corporate medicine, your HMOs and so forth, because they don't really deal with health, they deal with with the disease. And so you're getting drugs, you're getting unnecessary surgery, you're getting in radiation,

you're getting all this crap that is a problem. I invited a specialist, Alan Goldhammer, who wrote a book on Fasting to Destiny, to talk a little bit about some of the techniques behind fasting and what a revolution it is for healing and wellness. Inflammation has come around to be well studied, and when you have an inflammated brain, apparently this is the beginning of dementia and other problems. But you have a section in your book where you

describe fasting to balance metabolism. Why is that important? I understand why it is, but talk a little bit for our listeners.

It's the only difference was they gave half of the rats a wheel, and the rats with the wheel would run on the wheel and they wouldn't develop Alzheimer's disease. And people said, what the heck, how is it that exercises preventing Alzheimer's disease? And they analyze the rats and they realized that what was happening is the exercise induced b DNF brain drive neutrophic factor, which is a chemical that prevents Alzheimer's disease by neutralizing the effect of inflammation in the brain.

biomarker changes. In fact, if you look at all the biomarker changes that occur with exercise, almost all of them also improve with fasting. And that's weird when you think about it. It's not intuitively obvious because an exercise, you're vigorous and active. In fasting, you're resting. Why would both of these completely unrelated activities avoid and cause the same biochemical improvements. And I think the reason is that both of these things have one thing in common. They both

undo the consequence of dietary access. They both get rid of the fat and the visceral fat that produces the inflammation that causes all these diseases. These are not unrelated conditions. These are all common conditions but manifesting in different ways. And that's why these different conditions respond to fast whether it's high blood pressure. If you look at high blood pressure,

the believing contribute cause of death and disability. We have the largest effects that they've ever been shown in treating high blood pressure. We took one hundred and seventy four consecutive patients with high blood pressure and one hundred and seventy four people normalize the pressure enough to eliminate the need for medication.

One required half dosing at six We follow up. Then we followed those patients for one year and we said what percentage of those people would have maintained their weight loss and what percentage of them would still be off drugs and have normal blood pressure. Seventy six percent of those patients on follow up had maintained their weight loss and the majority had normal blood pressure without medication even

a year later. So what it shows you was highly motivated people that are willing to do dangerous and radical things like eat well and exercise and go to beban on and maybe do some fasting can not only overcome this disease, but maintain it long term. And this is a disease that almost every doctor in the country will tell you you'll be on the drugs for the rest of your life because they don't see people get well.

say they were delicious. But anyway, that afterwards, one of the doctors came up to me and he said, you know, I've been treating diabags for twenty five years. I've never seen one get well. He says, maybe I should try this diet stuff myself. And I'm thinking, you know, if I've been treating somebody for twenty five years and nobody ever get well, I'd start thinking maybe it's me.

term follow up. It's hard to objectify. We tend to focus on the low hanging fruit, the people that are doomed success that have faculous results and make us look good because we're still doing something that's considered very controversial. I don't know that we're still up there being equated with Jim Jones or something. But you know, fasting long term still seems kind of radical. I mean, most people think if they got on a plane in New York, and they flew all the way to California. They'd die

over Colorado if they didn't eat those pretzels. You know, I'm pretty sure the pretzels saved their life.

So like in fasting, inflammation actually goes up, but then it resolves the problem and comes down dramatically. So it's not that the inflammation is the problem, it's just the medical management is seeing inflammations pump so that they give you drugs the suppression inflammation, and the problem is at first, it's like if you treat reumatron arthritis and you get

pregndice on it. First it's like a dream because the pain goes away, but then it becomes a nightmare because it turns out the way it works is turning off the immune system if you need your immune system, and so long term it's a nightmare. It's like these new drugs they're using for a weight loss, so zepic ANDJLP inhibitors. People are eating ultra processed foods. They can't regulate the quantity, so they get fat. You give these drugs to people, they get sick enough that they eat less of that

highly processed food. They lose some of their appetite, and so they get a little bit less fat. On the long run, it's a complete nightmare because you know, all you're doing is giving people the ability to keep doing the thing that causes the problem, but making them sick enough that they don't eat as much of it.

is to stop drinking. You want to lose weight, stop eating the sugar, oil and salt that full your sotiety mechanisms, and you will lose weight.

But my attitude's very different. I went around and thanked them for their support.

you'll continue to lose weight. And that's exactly what our patients do. So and if you're a male, you can expect an average of three pounds a week, a female about two pounds a week. And that's with moderate activity. That's not being an Olympic athlete. It's not doing anything you know, outrageous, and so you will see these transformations.

More importantly, we've got lots of people that are be able to lose that fifty one hundred pounds, but years later they've kept it off and so even though we know the chance of a male ever doing that is one in one hundred and eighty in the United States. You know our numbers are completely different, but it's because we're getting people who fundamentally change their diet and lifestyle. You have to change what you put in your mouth

and if you want it to be effective. It also helps to get enough sleep and do enough exercise.

talk about Elon Musk for a minute. I was waiting to bring him up because he hasn't done a good job with ex which used to be Twitter. That's a nightmare. SpaceX is still doing very well and according to Tesla, the car is his sweet spot. He's eating up. But why would he take on AI to the level that you're suggesting where he is spending literally billions of dollars to make a super AI computer. Is he trying to corner the market? Does he have a gall in mind?

Has he written a thesis on his ideas behind this work, because that's a for serious investment.

in artificial intelligence? Well, all those Tesla cars have artificial intelligence in there and different different forms of AI and there learning how the real world works and how to navigate the real world. And so basically he's had all these cars out there that are basically creating the footprint for robots to be able to navigate the real world.

So there's what the So we don't know his paradise plan, but we do know that Elon is standing up to the New World Order because they're trying to impose a narrative that I certainly agree with is wrong. For humanity, and he's really about competing with the guys that want to invent machine gods. He's publicly declared that he's all about humanity thriving, which is great on Earth and in the cosmos. New will link troubles me deeply, but I

think he may have done it. The chips that go in the brain that they fitted the first one, Cliff, it was for a diver that had an accident that could only move. I think it was his head upwards, and he's now been able to communicate with computers. This is a good thing, but what we don't want is a worldwide adoptional enforcement of AI chips in the brain for us to join a so called ball continuum and we can talk it.

intelligent design, and they want to invade the organic. They want to into twine AI with the organic body, and they want to seek salvation in the machine. They're looking for love effectively, but they're outsourcing God to the machine, which I think is really silly, because we have God within us. And then the second stage, which I think is really exciting, which is a new era of enlightenment.

And this is where the organic body starts to uncover new abilities, new metaphysical capabilities, and so that's where artificial intelligence is a partner, not an invader, to support us in that new era of evolution into what I call Homo lucidus, the enlightened human, the human that has greater capability and consciousness the metaphysical human, and those are the two kind of evolutionary steps that humanity will take. A descent into madness of the mind and the outsourcingto the

machine gods, or an ascent into really enlightenment. And what Aristotles spoke about, which is the superhuman.

where the metaphysical paper has come alive. If we and so in that artificial intelligence isn't integrated with biology, it may be replacing your your your watch right with kind of an AI companion. We may not have mobile phones anymore because artificial intelligence is kind of around us and is able to communicate with us through voice or other types of imagery. But we're taken away from the mobile phone. And Jan LaQuan, the chief AI sign is that Meta agrees with me on this is that I think the

mobile phone will dissipate. I think we're going to end up into different types of more relaxed interfaces like the voice or the eyes or the ears at where we no longer being focused on the screen. And that will help a lot of people because we have this dopamine addiction through social media, right we do. That's really writing the brains of the young generation. Hey, I'm addicted to TikTok. I've just started on titter. But you know, at the end of the day is that we don't want artifish

intelligence to become an invader. Now, if we look at the transhumanist movement right, So their view is very simple. Now, let me be clear, Cliff on a couple of things. Not all transhumanism is bad. So people have pacemakers, that's technology in our bodies. People have cochlear implants, that's technology in our bodies. If someone loses a limb and has a robotic prosthetic, that makes really good sense. But that's

their choice. But if there's an enforcement, a global enforcement that the human body is not divinely created and that we're going to become gods and put the machines inside you to actually enforce a world view of what the future of human evolution is. Now, that is a coercion and that is not divine, And so what we'll start to see things like genetic manipulation of babies so they never have diseases. That could be a good thing, but then we may lose characteristics. We may become a common

platform with no individuality. We need to think about these things, right. We need to think about these things right. We'll start to see technology replace part of the brain function, maybe the way the eyes work, which is a third of our brain capacity. Now, if we start to replace our eyes to be able to see, maybe broader spectrum, Cliff, you know, we can start seeing for red, we can start see we can start seeing all different spectrums beyond

what we can see at the moment. What happens is is the brain is a muscle, and if we're not using that muscle for a certain capability, the muscle actually dissipates and disappears. So if people start to use technology to replace brain function, then now have smaller brains. So congratulations, if you're in a transhumanist movement, you will have a

smaller brain. But for those that follow the enlightened ath and the enlightened wakening into these metaphysical capabilities, will have greater brains, will become more creative as artificial intelligence is an assistant and a companion to invent new technologies, new medicines, new systems, new spacecraft, be able to be cyborgs and actually go out into space and meet other alien civilizations

on our behalf, you know, will become more creative. And so the universe is based on the laws of creation expansion. It's what we call personal growth or personal development in the human form. And so the next stage I think of personal development is greater creativity in the brain and greater capacity in the metaphysical human.

have greater memory. So in terms of having hard drives, maybe what to store memories so we don't lose them, or to store experiences so we don't lose them. Well, if we understand how the brain works, and we're still working it out and how to access and where that information stored, then I can see people trying to want to be able to download those memories from the brain, But we need to have new mathematics to actually understand

to interpret how the brain's storing that to. You know, there will be no smells, right because an experience has smells normally. There will be no feeling because it's a hard drive, it has no feeling for goodness sake, So you know, I think that people will probably do these types of if you like hard drives to record memories, and that sounds interesting, But at the same time, it's like, well, why are you doing that? Why are you storing memories

on a hard drive? Are you going to use that data to bring someone that's dead alive again or pretending to be alive. You know, it's a dangerous slippery slope, but I do sense that people will try and do this cliff. They'll try and actually start to use the brains as store of as a place of accessing experience and memories and trying to understand how do you create senses fealing smells, you know, and things like that.

doing a we're launching a new website. I believe it's at the end of January, it might be sooner, but we'll give people highlights and updates on what that's all about. That's going to really be a powerful addition to this podcast because there's so much that has offered that people cannot always collect and now references books, material products, so forth, so on, and actual therapy of course, and rather than just having to go back and replay the podcast, you

can go to the Destiny podcast dot com. That's the actual url the web page, the Destiny podcast dot com. We're building it and it'll be out I hope by I'm hoping by the middle of January, but it's probably going to be tell the end. It's just a lot going on. We want to make it as multi use

as possible and not just have the interviews available. We want to have products, we want to have service, We want to have articles that highlight being the best you can and making sure that your destiny is one that it's well, has health, has spiritual growth, has progression, that you're on a positive evolutionary path and that's really important. So look for that again. The website for Destiny is the Destiny Podcast dot com. So and again we'll announce

it when it comes out. Hey, I just announced a new tour that's coming up with the Grand Turkey Tour number two. It's going to be June twenty second to July second. We're only taking about twenty maybe a little more than twenty, maybe a little more. We're already have full. If you want more information, send me an email say hey, I'd like to join that tour. Go to Earth Ancients the number four of the letter you at gmail dot com. I'll get it to you. We're working on the itinerary.

We just ocated. We just got it confirmed and this includes Carahan Teppee, Go Beckley Tepee Istanbul with some of the world most amazing, world class museums you'll ever see. And each of the sites that we go to has its own museum. Go Beckley Teppe's museum. Again, it's just world class. They really are great with their museums and the artifacts are simply out standing. We'll go also and

see Roomy's home. We'll see a number of major mosques in Istanbul and around some of these other areas, and we'll also be doing some stops at some of these markets that the spices in Istanbul are out of this world. We went to a date store that has all these classical dates these I guess dates of fruit and my god, sky's a limit. Also they have wonderful wine. We do a wine tasting as well. So for all the details. If you want to know more, the information will be

up shortly. If you want to join us again, we're about half full, send me an email. Go to Earth Ancients the number four of the letter you at Gmail and send me an email. We have a We still have one spot left on our Easter Island tour, which is March fifteenth to the twenty third. If you're interested in that, send me an email. And then we're going to close out the year with a trip to Guatemala to join the Day of the Dead in October week celebration.

And with that we'll be visiting Ticar Copon and some other sites that are Mayan cities of great size and dimension, and that includes all the local areas as well. So any questions about any of our tours go to Earth Ancients for you at gmail dot com and I promise to get back to you. Happy New Year. I hope that the year starts off well, and thank you for

listening to Destiny. As always the I want to thank all my guests today on this highlights from twenty twenty four as always, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart, Gail Tour, Mark Foster and everyone who makes Destiny happen. You guys rock all right, take care of me well and we will talk to you again in twenty twenty five.
