If consciousness is moving forward, are you moving with it or resisting the invitation?

In this episode, I sit down with Edmund Knighton for a grounded, uncompromising conversation on The Law of One, consciousness evolution, and why love isn’t a feeling you wait for, it’s something you practice.

This discussion moves through the nature of density of consciousness, the accelerating forces of polarization, and why service to self vs service to others isn’t a moral debate, but an evolutionary sorting process. Conflict, suffering, and global instability aren’t framed as failures of the system here, they’re revealed as catalysts for awakening, testing whether we respond with fear or clarity.

We also address why spiritual bypassing keeps people stuck, how vulnerability functions as a stabilizing force rather than a weakness, and why embodiment — not dissociation — is required for real spiritual maturity.

If you’ve felt unsure how to stay grounded, this episode offers clarity.
