Ep 168 - Dale Holmes | Deciphering the Nature of Reality
Dale is an Australian speaker and co-host of the Sky to Earth Conference that has been driven to make his voice public after years of studying the global cult and their agenda.
Dale worked as a teacher in both Australia and abroad, specialising in working with disadvantaged and disengaged youth. This role guided his passion towards advocating for children and exposing the systems, people and dark forces that have failed them. His motivation to speak publicly was based on Natural Lore principles and honouring the missing component 'Action.’ What knowledge we obtain and wisdom we have, we must share. Dale has focused on understanding evil and wanting to know the core genesis of this evil. The pursuit of understanding evil has led Dale to the polarity of love through asking the big questions. Who are we? What are we doing here? What is this reality? Where are we going?
Topics Discussed in this podcast include: Synthetic vs Organic Reality, AI, Behaviour Predictability and the Transhumanist Agenda, Energy Harvesting, Simulation Theory, Dark and Light Energy, Human Potential and more.
