I created this podcast to explore interesting views,
share novel ideas, sample fringe thoughts ... Everything from
forbidden power locked within yourself to taboo discussion that
shakes the foundations of human establishment and reality!!

Nothing is ever 'off-limits' here.
And there's only one agenda: 'Enlightenment'!


I
want to
help our world!
I have lessons to share.
I want every one of you to heal.
I want to see every human soul grow.
I want to see our global humanity 'grow-up'.
To that end, this podcast is meant to challenge you.
(ZOMG 'LUMINATI!)
...And that's ok, because...

 

 

Take-on enough challenges, face enough fears,
drop enough false-stories and you'll find yourself
transformed into something better, stronger, completely new.



You just had to do the leg-work of 'becoming'.
You had to wiggle out of the limiting shell called EGO,
which had become like a cage around the truth-of-you.







"But what does that mean?"

"What is this core truth of 'me'?"

"Where does this all end?!"

 

There are no hard-answers here, fellow-human, only ideas.
This podcast isn't about 'ends' but 'beginnings'.

Thanks for visiting, and as always...
