#22 | Meditation to reconnect with our Child-Like Innocence & Intuition - An Empowered State of Awe & Wonder
This meditation has the intention to reconnect with our child-like essence & intuition - a very empowered state of awe and wonder!! It's our connection to all there is throughout time & space. A place without judgement or the need to make sense. Depending on where you are on the spectrum towards fully unleashed intuition & creativity, we recommend to (re-)listen to this meditation as often as you like, to 'train' that muscle further.
This is one of our strategic 'tools' to dive out of the sea of perception - making limited sense based on our past, beliefs & conditioning - to see what's really going on, what we really want and to then create exactly that!
Hemispheric Brain Synchronisation - Left vs. Right Brain:
The newest part of the brain - the Neocortex - enables higher order thinking and differentiates us from animals. While the Left Hemisphere of the Neocortex is responsible for abilities such as Logic, Analytical Thought, Science & Math, the Right Hemisphere of the Neocortex is tied e.g. to Creativity, Empathy, Holistic Thought and Compassion. We are living in a society, where most are either in a Right Brain Dominance or in a Left Brain Dominance, however only hemispheric synchronisation (= both hemispheres in balance) enable an accurate perception of reality, operating on all cylinders and True Intelligence = Intellect ('Intelli') + Creativity ('gence' = generare = create).
This meditation is one (of many) tools to reconnect with our right brain, our inherent intuition & creativity. Enjoy & let us know your thoughts!

A Freedom Fighter, Creator, Social Activist and Change Maker, Evelien is determined to end sexual exploitation of children. She is the Co-founder and CEO of ‘Free a Girl’. An international organization dedicated to free underage girls from prostitution. Since 2008 Free a Girl has rescued almost 4700 children from sexual exploitation. And in 2017 Free a Girl founded the ‘School for Justice’ in India & Nepal to not only fight the impunity of offenders to change society, but also to give former victims a future, by training them to become legal prosecutors. So far she raised over 20M EUR to end sexual exploitation of children, and initiated multiple campaigns gaining support from human rights activists such as the Iraqi Nobel Prize laureate Nadia Murad. For her work Evelien has received several awards, such as the Mother Teresa Memorial Award for Social Justice.

#20 | From Subsistence Farming in Rural Africa to Studying Western & Eastern Wisdom Traditions - The Relevance of Hermetic Teachings and Natural Law - The African Spirit of Ubuntu | Mpilo Nkambule
Today I speak to Mpilo Nkambule. Born in Swaziland, he grew up in 2 worlds: rural subsistence farming and urban. Professionally, he studied law and became an attorney - to first practice law in Africa and now in Salt Lake City, US. Years ago, he got inspired to go beyond the laws of man to study spiritual laws - the laws that govern our reality. Deeply passionate about enlightenment he also studied different wisdom traditions and now shares his voice, wisdom & love for service to mankind through his podcast ‘Blossom of Thought’ with the world.
Mpilos Ubuntu Spirit touched my heart!!
In this thoughtful and philosophical conversation Mpilo shares:
His experience growing up in a rural environment close to nature, not tempered yet by capitalism
Why he only realized later on how good that was (after achieving a western lifestyle)
How he stumbled upon wisdom literature in a public library, which changed his life
The African spirit of Ubuntu
How his spiritual awakening initiated his spiritual journey and love for wisdom
Why he studied Western & Eastern wisdom traditions and how it changed his perspective on life
How he discovered life is governed by principles and law - not by luck
How reading and literature develops perception and is empowerment
His favourite writers, thinkers and sages, and what he learned from them
Why pure teaching is ‘sharing from the heart’ and is not about selling
Why we should strive for high morality
How Hermetic Teachings and Natural Law helped him shape his world view and understanding of the world
Why the greatest battles are fought within our hearts
Why an unexplored life is not worthy of living
The differences between Western & Eastern philosophy

#17 | From Navy SEAL in combat to Fighting Human Sex Trafficking - Be(com)ing Fearless - Finding Truth & Purpose - Making Sense of the World & Covid - Real Science vs. MSM | Dave Lopez
I am thrilled to have Dave Lopez as my guest today. He served as a U.S. Navy SEAL and is a Subject Matter Expert (SME) on Tactical Operations, Classified Global Counter-Terrorism Operations, Protection, Security and Close Quarter Combat tactics. Since leaving the U.S. Navy, Dave has trained over 20 SWAT teams around the U.S. and also instructed numerous Special Response Teams of the Department of Homeland Security. Dave has conducted multiple rescue missions formerly with Operation Underground Railroad and now Covenant Rescue Group, organizations that fight sex traffickers around the world, which directly led to the rescue of over 200 children and the arrest of over 50 traffickers. He is currently the COO of Watersmark, a luxury development company.
He shares his incredible journey, and talks about:
Why he joined the Navy SEALs
What differentiates those who make it through the extremely challenging SEALs training from those who dont
Why the Hollywood version of war is an illusion and it's business
Why not fighting can be as equally wrong as fighting
Why he left the military after being deployed for combat
Human sex trafficking as a global multi billion $ industry
Why pedophilia is a global problem but protected & utilized by institutions
How ministries & non profits are set up to 'facilitate' children
How they facilitate their undercover rescue missions
The leadership principles he lives by and why a moral code is fundamental
How to deal with fear going into combat or a dangerous rescue mission
The strategy you can apply to be fearless in any situation
How to find truth by using our own thinking and conscience
How to make sense of the current situation in the world & lockdown specifically
How to see through the mainstream nonsense and inform yourself
Why you find yourself in the service of others
Why it’s all about 'how' to live and do the right thing and NOT about how long you live
Why he is not afraid of death anymore
Why life is about purpose, truth and bring justice
How funding biases science and why MSM is not objective
Why freedom needs uncertainty

#16 | Flaws of the World’s Financial System + silent Wealth Destruction & why measuring Wealth in USD is a Delusion + Preserving Wealth from Hyperinflation & the next Crash | Egon von Greyerz
'Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes the laws.' - Mayer Amsel Rothschild’s (1744-1812). This quote will make far more sense after you listened to this Episode!
I have the true honour to speak today with Egon von Greyerz. After a successful banking and corporate career, Egon founded Matterhorn Asset Management in 1999. Matterhorn Asset Management is based on wealth preservation principles and is now the World’s leading company for physical gold and silver outside the banking system, directly owned by the investor. Their four vaults include the biggest and safest gold vault in the world, located in the Swiss Alps. Clients are High Net Worth Individuals, Family Offices, Pension Funds, Investment Funds and Trusts in over 75 countries. With 50+ years experience as an investor, Egon makes regular media appearances and speaks at investment conferences around the world. He also publishes articles on precious metals, the world economy and wealth preservation.
He goes into depth about the flaws of the current financial system, hyperinflation, insane debt levels, wealth destruction and the foreseeable crisis to be coming. He talks about how to preserve wealth. We cover:
Why history tells us everything about the future
Why the current financial system is inherently flawed and leads to maldistribution of wealth, conflict of interest, hyperinflation and wealth destruction
Why privately owned central banks are at the root of the problem
Why educational levels are decreasing with every generation - we are dumbing down
Why published US GDP figures are fake
Why anyone who measures his wealth in dollars is deluding himself
Why Gold is the only real measure for purchasing power
Why only in this century the dollar has lost 85% in real terms
Why for every debt rise there is an equal and opposite debt fall
Why life is all about helping & the most wonderful thing is giving
Why most ‘financial journalists’ studied marketing rather than markets and are hardly reliable ‘warning bells’
Why you need to own physical Gold and not ETFs
Why your counterparty risk matters and you always have at least one counterparty
Why the banking industry will not survive

#15 | Building Bridges after Death Threat as Activist & 4y Asylum Seeking, Finding Go(o)d in any Moment, Why Nobody owns You Anything & Power of Heart in Art beyond Esthetic | Natalia Sierra Poveda
Today I speak with Natalia Sierra Poveda. Born in Colombia, she is an artist, activist, filmmaker & social entrepreneur. In 2016,her life took a dramatic turn. Because of her family’s human rights legal support to displaced families in Colombia, they were threatened by death. And had to flee Colombia. After 4 years of intense experience as asylum seekers in Switzerland, she & her family finally got recognized as political refugees this Nov. She is currently doing her Master's degree in Art & Society at the Zurich University of the Arts and is the founder of ‘Power to the People’, a social enterprise organizing city walks led by refugees. As artist Art Basel commissioned her art work “MY LAST TREASURE” about ‘the strength of women forced to flee’ exhibited in Basel & Geneva. Natalia is dedicated to making systemic changes in society and bringing justice towards marginalized people and to inspire people to live and fulfill their god-given destiny!!
In this incredible conversation Natalia shares her Journey:
Why her family was persecuted and death threatened
Her documentary ‘Sembrados en cemento’
Why they left everything behind seeking political asylum in Switzerland
How she dealt with fear, frustration, abandonment and hunger for justice
Her experience being trapped in a horrific refugee shelter with 100s of other refugees
How she studied in spite of her migratory status restricting her to work and travel and 30k CHF study cost
Why you have to embrace your journey at any time point & why you can never give up!
Why hardship prepares you for a larger purpose
Why no one owes you anything & you are not entitled to anything!
How she builds bridges & crossed mutual judgements and prejudices between refugees and natives
Why people feel if you do something with your heart!
Why art can be so powerful beyond esthetics!

#13 | Thriving after being Kidnapped & Hostage for 2 Years! Standing up for Yourself facing Death! Dealing with extreme Uncertainty! How to increase Freedom within imposed Frameworks! | Arjan Erkel
I have the true honour to speak with Arjan Erkel today. Born in the Netherlands, he studied Cultural Anthropology to then join Doctors Without Borders as humanitarian aid worker in conflict areas. He first worked in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Sierra Leone and then Russia, where his life dramatically changed. In 2002 he was kidnapped by Islamic rebels in Dagestan and kept hostage for almost 2 years. Since then - as an author, motivational speaker, coach and entrepreneur - Arjan inspired thousands of people with his message about freedom and taking ownership of one's own life. Arjan is also the Co-Founder of ‘Free a Girl’. A foundation that is dedicated to freeing young girls from forced prostitution. Since 2008 'Free a Girl' has freed more than 4,750 girls globally!
We talk about his abduction, an extremely confusing period, in which he often feared for his life, e.g. when they started digging holes in the ground, drove him around in car trunks and left him alone for days without food or water. For 607 days he was locked up in dark cellars, heavily secured bedrooms and finally 15 months in a dark underground hutch of 1.5x2m with only the company of insects and mice not seeing any faces during all this time. He was thrown back and forth mentally between hope and despair. Next to losing his freedom, he also had to depend on others to get him out. In the worst moments he felt not only lonely but also forgotten.
In our conversation he shares:
- How he kept control and his autonomy & free choice, even though he was incarcerated in a 2x1.5m dark underground hutch for 15 months
- How he stood up for himself during life threatening situations and built respect
- How you can connect and built relationships with anyone, even with your kidnapper
- How he dealt with the insecurity of not knowing if he will survive, be forgotten or killed
- How he battled against loneliness and lack of confidence, security and comfort
- Why being authentic and vulnerable is powerful
- How to get new perspectives on the possibilities you have in your life, your own responsibility in it and how you can create a new reality
- Why he co-founded Free a Girl to safe girls from child prostitution
- How do you increase your freedom within imposed frameworks
