What if the ultimate truth of the crucifixion wasn't the end of a life, but the beginning of the most meticulously suppressed esoteric bloodline in human history? In the highly anticipated finale of our Shroud of Turin series, Jay and Krista strip away two millennia of institutional dogma to examine the immediate aftermath of the tomb and the radical shifting of global power. We dive deep into how Saul of Tarsus, a fiercely intellectual Roman citizen and Pharisee , experienced a radical esoteric ego death on the Road to Damascus , fundamentally transforming the localized teachings of Jesus into the global corporate infrastructure of modern Christianity. We explore the profound physics of the resurrection—how a fully awakened master generated intense, micro-second bursts of healing energy similar to Vacuum Ultraviolet Radiation. This energetic X-ray encoded a flawless 3D topological map into a 14-foot linen cloth.But physical survival was only the beginning. We break down the linguistic ciphers of the Middle Ages to uncover the true nature of the Holy Grail, shifting the space from San Greal to Sang Réal—the Royal Bloodline. Did Jesus and Mary Magdalene escape to seed the Merovingian dynasty in France , or did he return to the Buddhist and Vedic masters via the Silk Road to live out his days at the Roza Bal shrine in Kashmir? Finally, we analyze the rigorous modern science debunking the 1988 Carbon-14 test through the discovery of medieval "invisible reweaving" , and detail the 2022 Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering (WAXS) test that firmly places the Shroud's flax cellulose degradation at 2,000 years old. This is the hidden history of the esoteric Christ.

What if the crucifixion wasn't a tragedy of defeat, but a highly calculated, public dismantling of an Empire's ultimate weapon of terror? In this episode of Awakened Exchanges, Jay and Krista drop beneath traditional religious dogma to analyze the final 24 hours of Jesus of Nazareth through a unique synthesis of 1st-century geopolitics, modern forensic pathology, and esoteric Eastern philosophy. By cross-examining ancient historical data with modern science, we explore how a fully awakened master executed a precise, conscious transition from a teacher to an active demonstrator of reality, proving definitively that consciousness survives the physical body to shatter the ultimate control mechanism of fear.This isn't an episode about blind belief or external compliance; it's an exploration of an empty vessel leaving a ladder behind for the rest of humanity to drop the illusion of separation and cross the bridge to informed inquiry.

We are taking a quick pause from our Speculative History of Jesus Christ series this week for a very special interlude! Before we dive into the resurrection and the physical anomalies of the Shroud of Turin in our next episode, I wanted to take an hour to shine the spotlight on my amazing co-host and partner in crime, Krista. If you've been enjoying her insightful questions and dynamic energy on the podcast, this is your chance to learn the story behind the voice. In "Growing Up Krista," we pull back the curtain on her personal background and her professional path. We're discussing her journey from her small-town upbringing, through competitive volleyball and the world of massage therapy, as well as the shared passions that drive us.Take a breath, get to know Krista, and join us for a fun, personal, and grounded conversation. And don't worry—Part 3 of our Jesus & The Shroud of Turin series will be back right here next week! 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications so you don't miss next week's episode, where we officially return to the Jesus timeline to explore the resurrection, the true origins of the institutional church, and get closer to the mysteries of the Shroud itself. #AwakenedExchanges #GetToKnowUs #PodcastHost #KristaRadetich #TheRadRichSanctuary #TinyHomeBuild #MassageTherapy #PodcastCommunity #BehindTheMic

Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges Evolution 2.0! Jay and Krista are back at the mic to continue their massive deep-dive series: A Speculative History of Jesus Christ as Evidenced by the Shroud of Turin. In Part 2, we tackle a massive historical hurdle: How did a mystic trained in the Himalayas translate the esoteric concepts of the East for a rigid, 1st-century Judean audience? We follow the speculative timeline to Alexandria, Egypt, exploring how the Greek concept of the Logos, the advanced medical knowledge of the Therapeutae, and the ancient Egyptian science of Heka (spoken word) formed the ultimate linguistic and energetic bridge. Discover how Jesus studied the Osiris Blueprint to prepare his consciousness for the agonizing reality of the cross, before finally walking back into the crosshairs of the Roman Empire. We also break down his return to Judea, the psychological warfare of his 40-day desert fast, his strategic brilliance in choosing "empty cups" for his disciples, and the radical, economy-threatening miracle that officially put a target on his back. In this episode, we cover: 0:00 - Welcome Back & Krista’s Big Question 6:40 - The Egypt Detour: Finding the Linguistic Key in Alexandria 10:55 - The Logos & The Therapeutae’s Medical Secrets 14:55 - Heka (The Magic of Spoken Word) & The Osiris Blueprint 23:15 - Hijacking John the Baptist's Apocalyptic Movement 27:45 - The 40-Day Fast: Starving the Biological and Spiritual Ego 36:50 - The "Empty Cup" Strategy: Why He Chose Fishermen 39:15 - The Scandal of Matthew the Tax Collector 41:05 - Parables as Zen Koans 42:30 - Healing the Paralyzed Man & Threatening the Temple Economy 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications so you don't miss Part 3, where we enter the final 24 hours: the psychological terror of Gethsemane, the illegal trial, the agonizing physiology of the crucifixion, and the creation of the Shroud of Turin! #AwakenedExchanges #HistoricalJesus #EsotericHistory #ShroudOfTurin #EgyptianMysticism #TheLostYears #PodcastEvolution #Spirituality

Welcome to Awakened Exchanges Evolution 2.0! In this highly anticipated reboot, Jay welcomes his wife, Krista, to the mic as his official co-host. To kick off this new chapter—and celebrating their 41st "3rd-iversary"—they are diving into their most ambitious project to date: A Speculative History of Jesus Christ as Evidenced by the Shroud of Turin. In Part 1 of this deep-dive series, we lay the ultimate foundation. Approaching the topic from a Buddhist perspective, Jay and Krista strip away centuries of theology to look at the undeniable historical footprint of Jesus of Nazareth, examining the "hostile" evidence left behind by Roman historians and early Rabbinic texts. Then, we journey into one of the greatest mysteries of history: "The Lost Years." Where was Jesus between the ages of 12 and 30? We explore the speculative, fascinating theory that a young Jesus traveled the Silk Road. Join us as we trace his potential path through the Parthian Empire and the Indus Valley, examining how Zoroastrianism, the Vedic traditions, and Mahayana Buddhism may have profoundly shaped his teachings. Discover how the mastery of Eastern esoteric concepts like Prana, Maya, and the Siddhis could provide a grounded explanation for the miracles he later performed, culminating in his ultimate choice to take the Bodhisattva vow and return to Judea. In this episode, we cover: 0:00 • Introducing Evolution 2.0 and our new co-host, Krista! (Plus a warning about our feline production team 🐈) 11:30 • The non-biblical, historical proof that Jesus existed (Tacitus, Josephus, and the Talmud). 21:01 • The mystery of "The Lost Years" and the cosmopolitan influence of Sepphoris. 34:50 • The "Issa Legend" and the Silk Road. 38:05 • How Zoroastrianism and Vedic Hinduism could have influenced his theology and his rebellion against hierarchy. 44:05 • The Himalayan Monasteries: Learning Sunyata (emptiness) and Ahimsa (non-violence). 47:25 • The esoteric science of miracles: Siddhis, Laghima, and Samadhi. 51:45 • The Bodhisattva Vow: Choosing to return to the West. 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications so you don't miss Part 2, where we follow his return to Judea, the esoteric trials in Egypt, and the harrowing reality of the crucifixion! #AwakenedExchanges #HistoricalJesus #TheLostYears #EsotericHistory #ShroudOfTurin #Buddhism #PodcastEvolution #Easter #GoodFriday #Resurrection

A big welcome back to all of you joining me on the first episode of the exchange in more than a year! It’s been a very long year filled with lots of change and this episode will be an update on the state of Awakened Exchanges, myself, and the A.R.C.; not to mention most everything you’ve missed out on in the last year. I know that this has been a long absence, but there’s even more to catch you up on than you’d expect. I managed to keep it to a single episode, and despite keeping things a bit abbreviated, I hope that you enjoy this first of more regular episodes again!

This week I’ll be speaking with Sheila Seppi, an author and self-proclaimed “walk-in,” with a fascinating story. What’s a walk-in? I should let her tell you more about soul-exchanges. We’ll also be discussing her upcoming appearance at the April 2023 Portal to Ascension Conference! Sheila Seppi The Galactic Alliance Conscious Awakening Network 2023 Conference Information ----- Intro - 00:15 There are NO MORE Ads - Please visit Awakened Vapes and our own Patreon page to help support this podcast! Interview - 4:35 -----   Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges! I’m your host Jay Rich and I want to thank you all for joining us today.

Please remember that if you have any suggestions for topics or guests, I do listen to the listeners, and I look forward to hearing from you, either from our website or you can also contact me on twitter @AwakenExchanges. Three episodes in a week?!?! What in the world is going on?!?! Ok, don’t get used to this. Like I said in the last two, it’s been a crazy busy year, but I still wanted to get these out before the Portal to Ascension conference this weekend. Speaking of which, if you’re in or around San Diego, you should join us there! It’s going to be an awesome time with a bit of something for everyone. This episode was also supposed to air a couple of months ago with the Portal to Ascension run-up series, but at least we got it out before the conference, right? Just like when I recorded with Joan, Sheila and I recorded right as I was in the beginning stages of my second round of Covid, so I hope my voice isn’t too off. Our conversation was one of the more unexpected ones for me, especially as this was not long after I was introduced to the term “Walk-in” and I still don’t know what to make of the term. Sheila, however, seemed genuine and mostly open, so I hope you enjoy hearing her story and that you take it in with an open mind. Short enough of an intro for ya’? The length of these will change as I feel fit, but I just hope you guys all enjoy the episodes either way.

This week I’ll be speaking with Joan of Angels, a healer and channeler of angelic energies. She has a Doctor of Chiropractic, with a master’s in counseling. And for over 40 years she has guided, counseled, and uplifted people around the world. We’ll also be discussing her upcoming appearance at the April 2023 Portal to Ascension Conference!

You may have noticed that this is the second episode this week! Like I said in the last one, it’s been a crazy busy year, but I still wanted to get this out before the Portal to Ascension conference this weekend. Speaking of which, if you’re in or around San Diego, you should join us there! It’s going to be an awesome time with a bit of something for everyone. This episode was also supposed to air a couple of months ago, but it wasn’t even originally scheduled for this round. I met Joan during my interview with Alan Steinfeld, which was released just ahead of this one, and she just seemed so nice that I wanted to talk with her. Turns out that we recorded right as I was in the beginning stages of my second round of Covid, but hopefully my voice isn’t too off. At least I had the correct audio file this time, it could sound like the last one. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Joan of Angels as much as I did! There are few people that share as genuinely as she does when she shares her experiences and journey toward self-awakening.  I told you these intros were going to be short, but before we get to today’s episode, I hope you remember that you are still the reason I’m making these episodes. I want to thank each of you personally for your support. Just listening and sharing this podcast with your friends gives me a reason to keep providing the best content that I can.

This week I’ll be speaking with author and consciousness explorer extraordinaire Alan Steinfeld! His book Making Contact was so well-received that it led to a five-part series featuring some of the most well-known names in UFOlogy, including Linda Moulton-Howe, Whitley Strieber, and Caroline Cory among many others. We’ll also be discussing his upcoming appearance at the April 2023 Portal to Ascension Conference!

I love seeing that so many of the regulars are still tuning in and sharing this podcast with others, even as I’m just posting so sporadically right now. Thank you so much for the energetic support, it is truly appreciated. For those of you that are joining us for the first time this week, I want to give you a very warm welcome to the exchange.

Please remember that if you have any suggestions for topics or guests, I do listen to the listeners, and I look forward to hearing from you on our website or on twitter @AwakenExchanges. This episode was supposed to air a couple of months ago now, but my year has been crazy. The busy streak at my day job came to an end last week as our 4/20 orders have all been filled and we’re now just playing stock-up for a while. I still expect to have some long weeks, but maybe I’ll get back to a 4-day week somehow and start recording more regularly again. I do know that I’ll have some time off next week, starting when I join this week’s guest, Alan Steinfeld, at the Portal to Ascension Conference in San Diego. I’m really looking forward to the conference and the break from the day job. My girl and I will be taking our first vacation together and I’m looking forward to having a few days without work occupying so much of my thought space. Ok, I know I’d stopped rambling as much at the beginning of these, and while I’m going to keep that as the standard practice, I’m going to be a bit more relaxed with it as there seem to be interesting things happening lately that I’d like to share with you. The first of those interesting things has been getting to meet up with a longtime gaming friend of mine, Justin. We’ve known each other for nearly 5 years now, having met playing some online gaming together. That said, despite phone calls, texts and even some video chats, this weekend was the first time that we actually got to hang out and share a couple of beers together. It was obvious from the first drink why we’re friends and we got to share a few days of friendship in real life for a change. Hell, he even showed me up and took first place at my last poker night at this house! I just wanted to give him a shout out and let him know how grateful I am for our friendship. It’s awesome to have good people in my life, even from afar. Alright, alright, enough of that sap. But speaking of that being the last game at this house, it looks like I’ll be renting it out here in the next month or so. Moving in with my girl allows this house to start earning passive income for us and to take off that expense while we look for land. The A.R.C. is still the goal, but it appears to be changing shape, at least to start. The Rad-Rich River Retreat will be how we start the community process I’ve been envisioning with the A.R.C. We’ll be hosting yoga, meditation, and wellness retreats, building community through living by example and helping people with whole-being wellness; mind, body and spirit. I hope to see some of you there as we get opened.

This week I’ll be speaking with Geraldine Orozco, mostly known as a contactee, she is also the founder of Bay Area Meditation among numerous other descriptors. We talk about her experiences as well as ideas around genetic memory and DNA reprogramming. We’ll also be discussing her upcoming appearance at the April 2023 Portal to Ascension Conference!

It’s been a rough couple of months with the universe seemingly challenging me along every path. My work with Tasty’s edibles is still going well, but it’s busy and chaotic. My personal life is going well, but is also a big adjustment in a short time. Then just last week we got over 8 inches of snow and I was involved in a minor accident when my rear-wheel drive Mustang locked up on me around a curve. I was able to mostly control it into the ditch, but even minor damage ended up costing me $2000, right after I got done spending $1000+ on my new laptop. The broken laptop, which is a whole nother story in and of itself, is why you haven’t heard from me for a few weeks at this point. Even after I got my replacement, it’s been hard to get back into the swing of things. That said, the land for the A.R.C. is looking closer than ever and priorities are getting set straight as I finish paying for whatever karma I had incurred in this lifetime. I appreciate you all bearing with me though and it’s good to be back with all of you. Let’s get to today’s episode though. I don’t know that I’ve ever interviewed anyone quite like Geraldine Orozco. I know that I’m not necessarily a hard questions kind of guy, though I do try to confront things I know are patently false. And while parts of her life story may seem hard to believe, I never once doubted her genuineness in relating the story. I’m also inclined to give reasonable doubt when describing someone’s own experiences, as my own psychedelic experiences have taught me that a lot of life is illusory. As for Geraldine, I was completely fascinated by her and the interview as it transpired; I’m very grateful that we crossed paths. In our discussion, we’ll touch on a wide-range of topics including holographic universe theory, genetic memory, DNA reprogramming and her experience as a contactee, among other fascinating side-topics. I think you’re going to enjoy it.

This week I’ll be speaking with Ra of Earth, formerly a crossfit standout before his self-transformation into a teacher of humanology with a focus on full-spectrum living. He teaches on all things fitness, movement, and yoga, as well as ancient occult practices, all in order to  optimize the human experience. We’ll also be discussing his upcoming appearance at the April 2023 Portal to Ascension Conference!

I know I’m a little late, but it is the first episode of 2023, so I think it still counts. For those that are just joining us this week, I want to give you a very warm welcome to the exchange and I hope you enjoy this episode as we continue down into our Portal to Ascension series!  As I said, I know I’m a little late, but this was supposed to be the New Year’s episode. I have mentioned that life has been fairly good lately, well that’s turned into insanely busy as well. As I take on new responsibilities in R&D at Tasy’s and we work on expanding into multiple new states, my day job has gotten significantly more complicated and time consuming. Add to that multiple health issues in my family and I’ve been spread pretty thin. Oh, and did I mention that I finally manifested something into my personal life as well? I’m pretty sure the universe is seeing how much I’m really willing to handle, but I’ll get my balance back. Enough of that though, everyone has complications in their life, but I thank you in advance for your understanding that I’ll be releasing the next few episodes as I can. As for today’s episode, when Neil first gave me the list of people he wanted me to interview for this Portal to Ascension series, I didn’t know anything about Ra of Earth. In fact, the name alone made me pause and question…and then I got to speak with him. Wow, what an interesting individual! We get a lot into his history, how he got his name, and what some of his philosophy entails, but our off camera conversations were equally fascinating. Thank you again for your time and energy Ra, it was a pleasure to share this exchange.

Happy Holidays Awakened Exchangers! This week I’ll be speaking with Neil Gaur, the founder of Portal to Ascension, which organizes and produces content on consciousness raising topics ranging from True World History, UFO Disclosure, Ancient Structures, Alien Life, Sound Work, Breathwork, and Quantum reality. The Portal guests have included researchers, spiritualists, archeologists, quantum physicists, futurists, and yogis including Billy Carson, Bruce Lipton, Laura Eisenhower, and Gregg Braden. Today we’ll also be discussing the April 2023 Portal to Ascension Conference!

No matter what you celebrate, or if you don’t celebrate at all, I appreciate each and every one of you for joining us today. For those that are just joining us this week, I want to give you a very warm welcome to the exchange and I hope you enjoy this episode as we start our Portal to Ascension series! I truly value all of your new thoughts and energy and hope you continue to join us with each new episode! Please remember that if you have any suggestions for topics or guests, I do listen to the listeners, and I look forward to hearing from you, either from our website or you can also contact me on twitter @AwakenExchanges. I hope you’re as excited to be here as I am to be back with you! The first time I tried to record this episode, way back in January, Neil Gaur and I recorded an amazingly fun exchange only to have the audio lost to a failed SD card. That failed recording turned out to be the last time I recorded an episode of Awakened Exchanges for over 8 months. Neil and I stayed in contact and when he wanted to start promoting the upcoming Portal to Ascension Conference in San Diego, I knew it was time to get the exchange up and running again. Since we were planning a long series, I wanted to get a few recorded before we got running, which led to some of our last episodes getting released earlier, giving Nick Hinton and I some divine timing for recording a special 50th episode, which slid ever so nicely to sharing this holiday gift with all of you! I think you’ll find Neil fascinating and I can’t stress enough how pleasantly surprised I was with each and every single one of the interviews with his guest speakers. I truly hope you give them all a listen as they come out. That said, this episode lost video for a minute or so to start the podcast, but we got on track quickly. Back to Neil though, he’s the founder of the Portal to Ascension, which organizes and produces content on consciousness raising topics ranging from True World History, UFO Disclosure, Ancient Structures, Alien Life, Sound Work, Breathwork, and Quantum reality.

For a very special 50th episode, we’re welcoming back the conspiracy theory guru himself, Nick Hinton! We last spoke to him when he released the Aquarian Singularity and he’s been having a very interesting couple of years since. He’s just released another book, The New World Disorder, so that he could lay the foundation for his next book Stairway to Sirius.

Please remember that if you have any suggestions for topics or guests, I do listen to the listeners, and I look forward to hearing from you on twitter @AwakenExchanges.  There are some video issues for those of you watching on YouTube or Spotify. Apparently ZenCastr wouldn’t work with mobile browsers and, as some of you know, I’ve never made it through a recording on Zoom that didn’t have issues. That said, Nick is using a still image anyway, so you shouldn’t notice much on his video, but some of mine will have our logo superimposed over it as a stopgap solution. I appreciate you bearing with me, I do hope to prioritize a new laptop and better camera in the future, assuming that’s the problem and not the software, but I digress.  That said, I hope you’re as excited to be here for this incredible episode as I was to record it! Today we welcome back one of my favorite guests, the Conspiracy Guru himself, Nick Hinton! Nick first joined us back in December of 2020 on a holiday episode and we finally got our timing aligned again, just in time to record a special 50th Episode! We talk about the literal journey that he’s taken back and forth across America, as well as his metaphorical journeys into conspiracy theories, including a look into his newest books and a couple of off-the-wall new conspiracy theories I’d never even heard of. It’s a fun ride and I think you’ll all enjoy it!  One quick thing, there are a lot of overlapping holidays right now, as well as a huge portion of people that don’t believe in them at all. No matter your preferences or beliefs, I want to truly wish you a time of peace and goodwill towards all. If we all focused on that even ½ as much as whatever political turmoil or civil unrest we individually choose to obsess over, then maybe the world would start looking a little less like we’re headed towards a dystopia and more like that vision Gene Roddenberry had in Star Trek. Nick even talks a little about how he might’ve been influenced by the “Counsel of 9” channelings by Phyllis Schlemmer. Either way, moving towards a society that is more about cooperation and understanding seems like the way to go to me. I’ll continue to wish that dharma for all of you out there.

This week I have the privilege of speaking with Ivan “Funkboy” Bodley! Ivan is a bass player and has been a long-time music director for the stars.  He has performed with 52 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees as well as in 13 Broadway Shows, with many more accomplishments to come I’m sure!

This week I’ll be speaking with world-renowned astrologer Jeff Harman. Jeff uses a unique blend of Classical, Vedic, Naadi and Kabbalistic Astrology to get a comprehensive view of an individual’s astrological makeup. With that information, he can then look at the transitions and progressions coming up and compare them to your unique profile, illuminating personal challenges or positive energies that will be crossing your path.

Jeff uses a unique blend of Classical, Vedic, Naadi and Kabbalistic Astrology to get a comprehensive view of an individual’s astrological makeup, we’re not talking about a “what’s your sign?” kind of astrology. When you listen to him explain about the planets and the stars, you can’t help but be curious about how much we don’t really know. I’m thinking that this will be the first of two episodes with Jeff, as I’m going to go ahead a book a personal reading for myself and share some of it with all of you so that you can get a glimpse of what you’re in for and an idea as to my personal reactions during his revelations. As for today, I hope you enjoy learning about the different kinds of astrology he uses and how they work. Oh, and just a fun little side note, I decided to bump up the release of this episode so that it would be a numerologically significant episode number for me. Why? Why not?
