We felt this conversation was so important and ahead of it’s time, we didn’t want you to miss it. This information is pertinent to what we may be facing in the very near future. Enjoy this rebroadcast of Episode 299 with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. RFK is campaigning for the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election. Learn more at https://www.kennedy24.com. – – Robert F. Kennedy Jr. needs no introduction, but you might not know just how much he is doing to improve the world. He serves as President of Waterkeeper Alliance and the Founder, Chairman of the Board, and Chief Legal Counsel for Children's Health Defense. He was named one of Time magazine’s Heroes for the Planet for his success helping Riverkeeper lead the fight to restore the Hudson. And on top of that, he was instrumental in the landmark victory against Monsanto in 2018, as well as in the DuPont Case that inspired the movie "Dark Waters.”  It’s really meaningful getting the chance to talk to one of the activists who I most admire, someone who is standing up against huge corporations and corruption to protect regular people and the environment, and he’s someone we really need to hear from during the current health crisis. I know this is a confusing and distressing time for a lot of people who are just trying to keep their families safe from both any possible diseases and the damaging effects of government overreach, but this episode only deals in cold hard facts. 09:45 — Why Kennedy Jr. was motivated to make a career out of legally protecting the environment, especially water, and people from corruption and negligence Growing up in the water every day Working with a group of fisherman whose livelihoods were being destroyed by pollution How a law from the 1800s that had never been enforced helped create Riverkeeper and protect American waterways 18:15 — Why he supports vacc!ne awareness and safety testing How long Kennedy Jr. has been censored online The relationship between mercury and vacc!nes Being forced to confront the difference between what regulatory agencies and pharmaceutical agencies said about safety and what the peer-reviewed science said about safety What happened when Kennedy Jr. started asking questions Getting the runaround about “good mercury” What changed in 1989 Autism Hiding science from the American people His first experience with censorship Social media’s draconian censorship How the search engines are rigged Bias in the fact checking 49:40 — The shocking breakdown of Big Pharma’s vacc!ne revenue and corruption Weaponizing the “anti-vaxxer” label “You cannot make a vacc!ne safely:” Big Pharma’s admission that led to legislation protecting them An explosion of chronic diseases The absurd surge in Big Pharma profits Hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths 01:12:55 — Why Kennedy Jr’s vacc!ne work with President Trump fizzled out When Kennedy Jr. was called to meet with the Trump admin How Big Pharma put an end to the initiative Good science will kill the industry “I’ve been fighting for 40 years to get mercury out of fish — nobody calls me anti-fish.” 01:26:05 — If flu vacc!nes are not effective, how could a COV!D-19 vacc!ne possibly be? The “pathogenic priming” phenomenon What you’ll start hearing from Fauci and Big Pharma as a vacc!ne gets closer The ridiculously small number of injuries related to vacc!nes that are reported Being raised to be skeptical of the powerful More about this episode.

Today, I'm thrilled to introduce you to a guest whose wisdom and insights are truly unparalleled: Naba Iritah Shenmira. From the esteemed Dogon lineage of the Gulmu region in Africa, Naba Iritah is a healer who embodies a lineage that's deeply connected to ancestral knowledge and traditions.  After his father’s passing, Naba Iritah dedicated his life to claiming the initiatic heritage and healing knowledge of his bloodline in order to carry on the mission of his Ancestors, doing full health consultations and Bayuali Earth Energy Readings through Ankhkasta Natural Healing.  We discuss what it genuinely means to learn from indigenous cultures and the delicate balance between individualism and community that shapes cultures across the globe, touching upon the essence of humility and self-respect as non-negotiables when interacting with other cultures, the role of ego in spiritual processes, and the risks we face when commodifying cultural and spiritual practices. Dive with us into the stories that shaped our modern world, and we venture to understand the collaborative nature and origin of the profound energies resonating from the pyramids and temples of the Nile Valley.  DISCLAIMER: This podcast is presented for educational and exploratory purposes only.

I'm thrilled to present to you an incredible episode delving deep into the often uncharted topic of death, our fears surrounding it, and the realm of palliative care with the wise and insightful Stephen Jenkinson. As the author of profound books such as "Die Wise" and "Come of Age," Stephen has transformed our understanding of mortality and the societal roles of elders. We discuss the chances he took in institutional hospital settings and how our western culture has diverted from age-old practices surrounding death. Through our conversation, you'll realize the importance of reconnecting with our roots and gaining a more profound respect for the natural cycle of life. We also delve into some unsettling trends seen in today’s society, such as our tendency to remove ourselves from ancestral traditions to form an identity while disconnecting from our heritage. We discuss the concept of elderhood, its vital cultural function, and the loss it has suffered in our modern culture. Stephen also sheds light on the fears of aging and dying and how understanding life's limitations can lead us to better self-improvement. Swimming to the deep end, this episode ventures into the controversial topic of euthanasia's legalization in Canada, examines the impacts of a death-phobic culture, and contemplates suffering and pain as essential parts of our life and death narratives.  DISCLAIMER: This podcast is presented for educational and exploratory purposes only.

Prepare for a profound episode, where we journey into the process of shedding old selves and embracing authenticity. In this AMA episode with my right-hand woman, Bailey, I share what I’ve learned in my quest to become the most real and authentic version of myself. We begin with my personal transformation, starting from the influences of my childhood on my self-worth, to my life-changing move to LA and subsequent struggle with addiction. I recount how letting go of my old identities as a rock star or cool guy, embracing the Vedic teachings that had been sprinkled throughout my childhood, and starting over in rehab led to the most significant moment of clarity in my life.  We then delve into how to end the habit of dishonesty with ourselves and others, reflect on performative behaviors and roles we subscribe to, silence a negative mind and so much more.  Ultimately, we discuss the ways in which I’ve been able to create awareness around my negative habits and behaviors over time in order to peel back the layers and find my true self. If you're ready to let go of your old identities and step into authenticity, you won't want to miss this one! DISCLAIMER: This podcast is presented for educational and exploratory purposes only.

Dr. Madera's dedication to pushing the boundaries of conventional medicine to offer less invasive procedures with better results is nothing short of awe-inspiring. I want to thank Dr. Marcella for being a medical professional that had the courage to step outside the box and to think about ways that she could help people in a more holistic and comprehensive fashion, truly bringing the mind, body, spirit element into her practice.

In today's trippy installment, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the man who calls himself the Laughing Dragon. He has turned the exploration of consciousness into a life path with the goal of uniting people through unconditional love. His disciplined lifestyle has the goal of holding the highest state of unconditional love possible. Prepare to be taken on a journey as Laughing Dragon shares his lessons from exploring the multiverse, sitting in ceremony with ayahuasca, and the transformative experiences available to expand our consciousness when partnering with plant medicine and psychedelics.  The episode begins with Laughing Dragon opening up about his personal struggles early in life, including a challenging upbringing and overcoming insomnia and PTSD with the help of plant medicine and psychedelics. We dive deep into Laughing Dragon's captivating story, exploring how he stumbled upon the world of amanita muscaria mushrooms and what led him to embrace a path of shamanism.  From there, we unravel the mysterious goals of the amanita muscaria experience and uncover the active ingredients responsible for its unique effects. Oh, and get ready for some mind-boggling folklore origins that connect Santa Claus himself to these magical mushrooms. Laughing Dragon also warns of the risks involved in microdosing amanita and imparts valuable lessons he's learned about consciousness from his daily ayahuasca use. If you're curious about foraging amanita muscaria in the United States or seeking microdosing recommendations, we've got you covered. And stay tuned to discover the intriguing story behind how Laughing Dragon earned his name. If you’re curious about who psychedelics could help, how to use it, and ways to open a portal to other timelines, you’re really going to dig this conversation. It's a wild ride, my friends.
