Gifted with innate abilities including clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, and mediumship, Dr. Vest diligently cultivated these talents through rigorous training under the guidance of various mentors, both in traditional and formal educational settings.

Sleep and Mysticism: Philip Carr-Gomm and Dawson Church in Conversation

The book called The Life of The Buddha
The concept of the spiritual quest
Philip’s background
The phases of sleep

Jonathan has been investing for over four decades and meditating for 25 years.

Here he and Dawson share their passion for making money part of your spiritual journey:
Jonathan’s background
The meaning of life
Meditation
How money and spirituality are vital parts of life
Done correctly, money isn’t about piles of wealth, it’s about love
What money can do for our children, our communities, our later lives
The definition of mindfulness
Investing
All investments fall into two categories: investment or renting
Inflation is the real problem, the constant decline in our units of value
Equities protect against inflation
Dividends increase at 2 - 3 times the rate of inflation
Cash and bonds aren’t safer in the long run
Keep your investment plans ultra simple
Start with global equity portfolio
Asking about the size of returns is the wrong question because we don't know the future
Studies show that the more time you spend picking stocks, the less likely you are to be a successful investor

The Existential Dilemmas Behind Chronic Illness: Jerry Kantor and Dawson Church in Conversation
Jerry Kantor is a faculty member of the Ontario College of Homeopathic Medicine and owner of Vital Force Health Care LLC, a Boston-area homeopathy and acupuncture practice. The first acupuncturist to receive an academic appointment at Harvard Medical School’s Department of Anesthesiology, Kantor is the author of The Emotional Roots of Chronic Illness, and The Toxic Relationship Cure.
Here Jerry shares his insights with Dawson on:
Homeopathy: uses the law of similars, using like to treat like
Homeopathy isn’t diagnosis driven
Homeopathy trains you to convert what people tell you into a rubric of meaning
Medicine is fragmented, and the psychological roots are not considered
During Lincoln’s time the government was full of homeopaths
There are 5 existential quandaries at the root of our existence
Existential questions don’t have a yes or no answer
Homeopathy releases the charge underlying the five quandaries
Often one dose is enough, and the vital force responds over 4 or 5 weeks
Remedies trick the system into treating a chronic problem into an acute problem
