Oxford scholar Tobias Churton has written the first book to trace humanity's ideas of heaven across every culture and era — and the conversation goes places you won't expect. Why does hell begin as a fear of restless ancestors? Did atheism require civilization to exist? Is "Imagine" actually the most depressing song ever written? Churton is erudite, funny, and surprisingly candid about what he himself believes. Wide-ranging, thought-provoking, and genuinely hard to stop listening to.

What happens when a five-time degree holder, aerospace engineer, and lifelong student of the Mystery Schools sits across from you and tells you that magic and science are the same thing? You lean in — because he can prove it. Phil Catalano, known simply as "The Wizard," brings one of the most fascinating dual perspectives I've encountered through the Veil. With degrees spanning parapsychology, psychology, anthropology, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering — and a career that took him from NASA to JPL — Phil has spent over 60 years with a foot firmly planted in both the material world and the esoteric one. His father steered him into engineering to earn a living. Sister Helen, back in Catholic school, pointed him toward miracles. He never let go of either. In this conversation, we explore how quantum entanglement is just the scientific world finally catching up to what the metaphysical world has always called bonding, why plasma — the fourth state of matter — may be the long-sought bridge between the physical and the etheric, and how everything, truly everything, is connected through a vast matrix of threads we are only just beginning to follow. Phil shares his deep study of the Mystery Schools — the Golden Dawn, OTO, Rosicrucians, Freemasons, BOTA — alongside his work with ancient wisdom traditions, including the thousands-of-years-documented Taoist understanding of natural energies that Western science is only now beginning to quantify. We also go deep into the big questions: Who is managing this planet, and why? Are ETs the good guys, the bad guys, or both? Why have we lost so much ancient knowledge — and was it taken from us deliberately? What does it mean that cliff drawings clearly show ETs living among us as part of society? And what happens when we die — is there even such a thing? Phil is a teacher, craftsman, engineer, and shaman drum-maker who has helped over 500 people build their own ceremonial drums. He is generous with what he knows, passionate about what he is still discovering, and absolutely certain of one thing: we always have been able to move forward. We always do. PHIL CATALANO, THE WIZARD Phil Catalano's background is remarkably interdisciplinary. He holds five Bachelor of Science degrees from the University of Massachusetts and other universities in multidisciplinary fields, including Parapsychology, Anthropology, Psychology, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. An Aerospace Engineer by profession, Phil has worked with NASA/JPL, Lockheed Martin, Ball Aerospace, Boeing, Raytheon, and other major aerospace organizations. Alongside his scientific career, he has spent more than 60 years studying metaphysical and paranormal subjects, including work with Mystery Schools, Alchemy, Ancient Wisdom traditions, Occult Sciences, and ET/UFO research and investigations. Phil's unique integration of science, engineering, and esoteric studies offers a rare and compelling perspective on how all things are interconnected.

What if ancient Egypt held the roadmap for exactly what we're living through right now? Fotoula Adrimi, Greek spiritual teacher, healer, and author of Sacred Mysticism of Egypt, joins me to explore the golden age of Egypt — a time when humanity was clairvoyant, connected to the cosmos, and building monuments aligned with the stars. We talk past lives, the prophecy of Zep Tepi, the myth of Horus and Set as a mirror for today's chaos, and the three signs the ancients said would mark humanity's return to the light. Spoiler: two have arrived. We're still waiting on the third. This one will stay with you. Fotoula Adrimi Fotoula Adrimi, BA(Hons), MSc, is a director of the ISIS School of Holistic Health, an international school of healing arts, spiritual development, and inner transformation through vibrational energy work, enlightened teachings, shamanism, and meditation. She is part of the global network of Shamanic Teachers under Sandra Ingerman and part of Shaman's Directory.

Before you had words, before you had memory, your soul arrived with a purpose. And in the same breath, the forgetting began. Deep within each of us churns a restless, aching longing — powered by a higher intelligence, speaking a language older than thought. It isn't a problem to be solved. It is your soul, calling you home. Yet from our very first breath, we begin absorbing the world's conditions — unspoken, generational, relentless — quietly teaching us to trade our true nature for belonging, survival, and love. Left unchallenged, those inherited wounds don't just shape us. They become us. Dr. Chris Sansone — PhD, trauma coach, and past life regression therapist — joins Barb Crowley to illuminate the sacred intelligence hidden inside your deepest pain. Together they explore the wound of birth, inherited lovelessness, the tyranny of shame, and why the ego was never meant to run the show. Because your soul has never forgotten who you truly are. It has never stopped whispering. The only question is — are you finally ready to listen?  DR. CHRIS SANSONE Chris Sansone is a life, leadership, and spiritual coach—and a certified past life regression guide—with 28 years of experience supporting people through life-defining challenges and seasons of change. His work invites individuals, couples, and groups to listen beneath the noise of daily life, uncover what the soul is truly longing for, and gently heal the old patterns that keep them small. With a PhD in Human Development, coaching certification through the Co-Active Training Institute (CTI), training in trauma response, and certification in past life regression therapy, Chris blends grounded developmental insight with spiritual practice to create meaningful, transformative experiences.  He is the author of Longing: A Pilgrimage to Your Quiet Power Within. www.livelifesoul.com

In this fascinating and far-reaching conversation, astrologer and author Carmen Turner-Sehott joins me to explore the profound astrological shifts shaping our world in 2025 and 2026. Carmen explains how Pluto's movement into Aquarius marks a monumental generational change that will impact humanity for the next twenty years, bringing cataclysmic transformation to our relationship with technology, government structures, and hidden truths. We dive deep into the outer planets and their slow-moving influence on global events, discussing how Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus are creating unprecedented cosmic alignments that astrologers have never witnessed before. Carmen shares her insights on the rare Saturn-Neptune conjunction at zero degrees Aries happening in February, a configuration that promises to end one era and begin another in ways we cannot yet predict. Our conversation takes intriguing turns as we explore the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern technology, from the explosion of artificial intelligence and its environmental impact to the possibility of extraterrestrial disclosure. Carmen connects astrological patterns to historical events, showing how Uranus in Gemini has coincided with major wars throughout history, and what that might mean for our current period extending through 2032. We also touch on the mysterious connections between ancient civilizations and their advanced technology, the significance of different blood types in relation to extraterrestrial contact, and why certain people seem destined to be here during these transformative times. Carmen offers practical advice for navigating the chaos ahead while sharing her optimism that these disruptions are ultimately leading us toward a profound awakening about what truly matters in life.

Your eyes hold the deepest wounds and patterns of your soul. In this episode, I explore Enlightened Iridology with Alec Uitti, a spiritual teacher who reads the iris not for physical ailments, but for emotional traumas and subconscious patterns stored in your body. Unlike traditional iridology, Alec's approach translates what he sees in the eyes into consciousness work. Childhood experiences, unexpressed emotions, family burdens, and even ancestral patterns show up as specific signals in the fibers and colors of the iris. He explains the difference between the left eye (mother's influence, feminine side) and right eye (father's influence, masculine side), and shares compelling client stories including a woman who avoided a liver transplant by reclaiming her personal authority, and another who discovered her lifelong pattern of protection and dishonesty. Discover what your eyes are trying to tell you about your soul's journey. You'll also learn about Body Electronics, Alec's intensive week-long retreat using sustained acupressure to release stuck energies, and why changing one simple word—from "work" to "play"—can transform your entire healing journey. ALEC UITTI Alec Uitti is a trained artist and designer with a technology career for 25+ years.  He turned spiritual teacher and iridologist in 2016 and left the corporate world last year to dedicate his life to raising people up through conscious spirituality.

Are our fingerprints simply biological accidents, or could they be divine signatures revealing who we truly are across lifetimes? In this episode, Christopher Jones takes us into a 21st-century vision of palmistry, the fingerprints, that weave together spirituality, psychology, and science. He reveals how the spirals, loops, and whorls etched into our skin may actually be portals of consciousness, tiny vortexes of energy where the physical body meets the spiritual field. Drawing on modern dermatoglyphic research showing that fingerprints form in the womb alongside the brain and don't change throughout your life, Christopher explores the provocative possibility that these patterns mirror the very structure of our consciousness itself: karma, past lives, ancestorial blueprints, personality traits, life plans, talents, our medical and psychological future. He explains how each hand serves as a hologram of the whole self but also the energetic blueprint of the human spirit through ancient elemental archetypes of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water.  Christopher uses the fingerprints of John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, and Malcome X as examples of how their fingerprints declared who they were and what they would achieve from birth! This is palmistry reimagined as a metaphysical map, a bridge between the measurable and the mystical, offering compelling evidence that spirit and matter are far more intertwined than we ever imagined. Christopher's book 'The Palmistry of Fingerprints' is being published by O Books (UK) and is coming out on 27th January 2026.  Pre-order everywhere, including Amazon, to reserve a copy for you and as a gift. Christopher Jones A chance encounter with a yoga teacher in 1983 led him to study handreading under the auspices of the UK Cheirological Society. Christopher was the first student to complete all the Advanced courses of study and came to run the Cheirological Society from 1989-1999 and was authorised to teach the esoteric approach to handreading from 1984. As Secretary, he corresponded with the major figures in the world of handreading and was responsible for writing, editing and producing the Society's quarterly 'Journal of Studies'. His undergraduate studies in Sociology and Psychology inform much of his approach to handreading as does his study of astrology and esoteric Buddhism. He completed his academic studies at Oxford University with a Masters degree in Philosophy and Theology. An active researcher, Christopher conducted many original and pioneering studies into the significance of different features of the hands and wrote over fifteen study texts and training manuals for students of the Society. Many of his students have become well-known internationally and have had books published based on the approach to handreading that Christopher was teaching in the 1990's, including Johnny Fincham (UK), Talma Brill (Israel), Jenni Hirsch (RSA) and Birgitta Birath (Sweden). Many of his students have had successful careers as professional handreaders after graduating from his courses, some for over 35 years. He is the pre-eminent palmistry teacher of his generation. In 2019, he established the International Hand Reading Association (IHRA) together with Lynn Seal and Felicity Booth as a professional association for handreaders who wish to practice an ethical approach to palmistry and chirology. The IHRA organises two conferences a year to foster cooperation between handreaders from all around the world and to pursue the aim of promoting hand reading as a serious subject worthy of the finest minds, free from charlatanry, fortune telling and 'prediction'. If you are serious about studying handreading, then you need to contact the Master Handreader.

What happens when strange visions during lockdown turn into communication with beings from another dimension? Chris Berryman, author of The N-1 Sessions and Flying Saucer Visions, joins us to share his journey from theater artist to channeler for N-1, a consciousness from the Orion region. During the pandemic, Chris began experiencing closed-eye visions of geometric shapes, machinery, and eventually beings that frightened him at first. After consulting with a teacher, he learned to communicate with what became known as N-1 and the Orion collective. What followed were channeling sessions that formed the basis of his new book, covering everything from Earth's protective quarantine by benevolent ETs to the hidden particles these beings hope to study near places like Stonehenge and the pyramids. In this conversation, we discuss why Earth has been quarantined from certain extraterrestrial groups, how that quarantine is gradually being lifted, and what N-1 calls the Masquerade—the way negative entities feed on human conflict and division. Chris shares information about the 73% of UFO sightings that may be genuine ET encounters, why initial contact might happen through dreams rather than physical meetings, and how our bodies can serve as portals for interdimensional experiences. We also talk about the challenges ahead, from nuclear threats to government secrecy, and N-1's message that cooperation and what they call radical simplicity may be key to humanity's evolution. Chris explains the exercises in his book designed to help people safely explore these connections, discusses why the Orion beings apologized for not intervening sooner, and addresses practical questions about protection when working with these energies. Whether you're familiar with channeling and ET contact or new to these topics, this episode offers insight into a phenomenon that more people are experiencing as the veil between dimensions grows thinner. The N-1 Sessions is available for pre-order now with a February 1st, 2026 release date. Chris Berryman Chris Berryman is an extradimensional experiencer and author of The N-1 Sessions and Flying Saucer Visions: A Travelogue. He is also the founder of Detroit Theatre Collective (a multimedia performance ensemble) and a writer of screenplays. He lives in Michigan. https://berrymanbooks.com/

Chaos feels hard and upsetting and seems to be all around us, but what if chaos isn't the problem but the opportunity?  How do we survive it, and thrive? Fashion designer turned hypnotist, Angel Millar, discusses his book 'Transcend the Chaos' and shares a surprising framework for navigating our unpredictable world: the six C's—connection, creativity, craft, culture, character, and consciousness. We talk about why American creativity has been declining since the 1990s and what that means for our future. Millar shares stories from studying fashion at London's most prestigious design school, practicing martial arts, and using hypnosis techniques that everyone from Salvador Dalí to modern CEOs have employed to access deeper states of thinking. The conversation wanders through fascinating territory: why immigrants and risk-takers develop advantages others don't, what happens when communities break down, how AI is forcing us to rethink what makes us human, and why rational thinking alone won't cut it anymore. As practical tasks get automated and chaos becomes constant, Millar believes we will be freed up to redevelop the whole person—body, mind, and consciousness.  It's a thought-provoking look at where we're headed and how to prepare for a future that's already arriving. Our lives follow our thoughts Doubts, fears, and uncertainty can get in the way. Criticism and compliments can mold our decisions. Good or bad, we conform to what's expected of us. And we forget who we are, deep down. Take back control Now's the time to dig deep into yourself. Prepare your mind for the success you really want. Affect real and lasting change.   ANGEL MILLAR Born and raised in England, where he studied fine art and fashion, Angel is a qualified consulting hypnotist, martial artist, and lecturer on personal growth, archetypal patterns of behavior, and spirituality. Angel Millar is the author of  "Transcend the Chaos:  Proven Integral Techniques for Emotional Control, Confidence, and Creativity" and "The Path of the Warrior-Mystic," among other books. angelmillar.com

What if tarot isn't just a deck of cards, but an entire language for communicating with higher consciousness? In this episode, we sit down with Kelly O'Hearn who discovered tarot during a personal crisis and spent three years in secret learning to speak its language—not through books, but through direct dialogue with guides and her higher self. Kelly shares her conviction that tarot is fundamentally a communication system, one that allowed her to receive messages about her past lives, who she is now and what life dynamics are currently playing out in her present world.  Using what she has learned and who she has been before coming into this life, these channeled insights became the foundation for her novel Arcanum series.  With two books published (In the Temple Shadows and Whispers in the Forest) and a third in progress, Kelly discusses how learning tarot's language opened creative and spiritual pathways she never anticipated. For anyone curious about tarot as a communication tool, the intersection of channeled wisdom and creative writing, or how spiritual practice can transform into art, this conversation offers a unique perspective on speaking the language of the cards. KELLY O'HEARN When Kelly O'Hearn first stepped off the train in the city of Florence, Italy, as a 20-year-old, she had the overwhelming instinct that she had been there before. In a place famous for its maze of medieval streets, O'Hearn navigated the city as if she had lived there for a lifetime. Born in New York City, O'Hearn first put her intuitive skills to work as a professional wine taster, instructor, and sommelier in the elite institutions of New York, Portugal, and Aspen. After raising her two children and enduring a personal health crisis, in 2012, she was drawn to begin reading the tarot cards, an ancient practice which does not presume to "predict the future" but offers a collection of stories, perspectives, and self-reflections that can guide one to become one's most authentic self. While most people were baking sourdough or riding their Pelotons during the Covid pandemic, O'Hearn used the tarot cards to channel her own past lives. Weeks of readings, all captured on video, yielded six storylines of herself as several powerful women over the millennia and around the globe: the same one soul, over time, persevering against all odds in the quest for happiness and the love of a soul mate. This time-bending saga inspired O'Hearn to conceive of a series of novels titled Arcanum.  O'Hearn is in high demand for her readings, with clients on every continent but Antartica.  https://www.arcanumtheseries.com

In this conversation, I sit down with wealth mentor Debbie Dobbins to explore how our relationship with money is really about our relationship with ourselves. Debbie shares her journey from teaching traditional manifestation for 30 years to discovering a different approach after facing cancer and financial devastation. We talk about how our bodies hold stored emotions and memories around money - those "I'm not enough" stories that keep playing out in our lives. Debbie explains the difference between masculine manifestation energy and what she calls feminine frequency work, and why she believes women especially struggle with feeling worthy of abundance. The conversation covers practical techniques like future journaling, the role of gratitude as more than just list-making, and her concept of the "bus stop conversation" - the idea that we chose our life experiences, including the difficult ones, before arriving here. Whether you're curious about energy work around money or just tired of repeating the same financial patterns, this episode offers a different perspective on prosperity consciousness. Debbie's approach focuses less on willing things into existence and more on shifting the frequency we're transmitting from within. www.thedebbiedobbins.com DEBBIE DOBBINS Debbie Dobbins is not your typical wealth mentor. She's a rebel with a cause: helping conscious entrepreneurs rewrite their stories about money, power, and purpose. After building successful businesses, making millions, and teaching abundance for decades, Debbie found herself face-to-face with a cancer diagnosis, broke and on food stamps. That experience didn't break her—it activated her. Through feminine energy, intuition, and radical reinvention, she not only healed her body and rebuilt her wealth, she reimagined what true success means. Today, Debbie is the author of Your Inner Billionaire—a potent blend of prosperity principles, spiritual truth, and nononsense real talk. Her work blends Universal Laws, quantum consciousness, and grounded strategy to help these conscious entrepreneurs claim their abundance—not just in the bank, but in their bodies, businesses, and belief systems. She calls herself "The Queen of Magic" for a reason: her mission is to help others remember that they, too, hold the wand. Debbie leads global retreats, teaches transformational courses, and runs a high-impact mastermind called the Inner Billionaire Circle. She's helped thousands of women reignite their wealth from the inside out—many of them in their "second act" of life. Her teaching is grounded in joy, soul connection, and the belief that abundance isn't reserved for the few—it's the birthright of all. When she's not coaching clients or hosting sound baths on the beach, Debbie is dancing under the stars,

My guest today, Nigel Watson has investigated UFOlogy, mostly in Northern England but we discussed the whole world, for 55 years, from the 60s & 70s on.  He took some time off in the early 90s but came back to it by late 90s. Instead of wrestling with theories and speculation, Nigel has spoken directly with 'ordinary' people in the United Kingdom who have reported seeing or communicating with UFOs and alien entities and a wide range of other startling associated phenomena, all of which is usually considered to be too far-fetched or 'crazy' to be investigated. Nigel's decades-long research shows how a simple sighting of a light in the sky can escalate to sightings of alien entities, robots, men in black and angelic beings. UFO witnesses and experiencers can also be plagued by a life-changing poltergeist or other ghostly experiences, telepathic messages, alien communications, strange coincidences, visions of the future, and abductions but are there other explanations? It was good to hear another view. I often hear, and talk to people who completely believe in UFOs and give very good information for believing this way, but is it true?  Have we taken on the archetypes that are in humans through history and objectified and called them 'Aliens', per Nigel Watson and Carl Jung. Nigel is a skeptic. In the end I asked, after 55 years, does he believe in UFOs?  Aliens?  He does not although he wishes he did.  He says he would be happier to be able to believe in a simpler explanation and belief in UFOs, but he does not. Thank you, Nigel, for bringing me the skeptic's view to consider.   NIGEL WATSON Nigel Watson has researched and investigated historical and contemporary reports of UFO sightings since the 1970s. He writes a regular monthly column 'Saucers of the Damned' about UFOs for Fortean Times magazine. He has regularly contributed to Magonia, All About Space, Outer Limits Magazine, Fate, Flying Saucer Review and UFO Magazine, and is the author of 'UFOs of the First War,' the 'UFO Investigations Manual' and 'Captured by Aliens? A History and Analysis of American Abduction Claims' which is dedicated to the memory of Peter Rogerson and has a foreword by him. With Jenny Randles he has contributed to and provided commentary to a selection of Fortean Times articles in The UFO Files. https://www.facebook.com/UFOInvestigationsManual https://www.facebook.com/UFOScares BOOKS: Paranormal Perspectives:  Portraits of Alien Encounters Revisited Portraits of Alien Encounters, VALIS Books, London, 1990.
