Today's topic is all about guardian angels - who are they, what's their role, and do they actually protect us from harm? I'll share my take on some common guardian angel beliefs I often see floating around. We'll also talk spirit guides versus angels and how to better tune into their guidance. Through open, thoughtful discussion, my goal is to offer a grounded perspective to help you shape your own beliefs. I aim to move us from rigid assumptions into greater self-responsibility and continuous improvement. In this talk, you'll discover: 

- Why your passed loved ones likely don't become your "guardian angels" - How spiritual time and evolution to an angel differs vastly from human ideas 

- How full protection from angels would counteract life lessons and purpose 

- The role of spirit guides in steering you toward better choices 

- Tips for listening, building trust, and following through with guidance.

 I'd love to hear your experiences with spirit guides, intuition, or even near-miss incidents. Do you feel unseen help or divine intervention has ever protected you? Let me know in the comments! And if you find value in these talks, please like and subscribe. Just trying to reach and help as many open-minded spiritual seekers as possible. Now, onto the show! Be good, don't do anything too crazy, and I'll catch you in the next one!

In this episode, you will be able to:

-Discover how guardian angels play a vital role in guiding and protecting us in our daily lives.

-Uncover the profound insights on spiritual time and the transformation into becoming an angel.

-Explore the profound life lessons that reveal the purpose and fulfillment of our existence.

-Differentiate between spirit guides and guardian angels to deepen your understanding of spiritual support.

-Learn how to effectively listen, trust, and act on spiritual guidance to enhance your life's journey.

You know the ones that say they are an "expert" in their metaphysical field...how did they get that authority? What is their end-game goal? How can you tell the difference between charlatans and the real deal?

Dr. Simeon Hein examines critical, new scientific findings in coherent energy-matter and how these ideas help explain seemingly paranormal phenomena, like space-time anomalies and orbs, seen around creatures such as bigfoot and other mysterious cryptids. 

Dr. Simeon Hein is a former university professor in statistics and research methods. He came across the idea of remote viewing in 1996 and took a class as a skeptic. The results of the training were surprisingly positive and convinced Dr. Hein that there is a large area of scientific knowledge that is being withheld from public discussion. Subsequently, he established the non-profit Institute for Resonance and began teaching remote viewing classes in Boulder, Colorado and continues to teach online. He also became interested in the topics of crop circles, unexplained aerial phenomena, and extraterrestrials.

In this episode, Preston talks about his new book, "Humanoids and High Strangeness" in which he presents twenty all new, original, and unpublished accounts of people who have had face-to-face contact with a variety of humanoids. The diversity of entities is mind-boggling: grays, human-looking ETs, mantids, reptilians, strange humanoids, angels, nature spirits, ghosts, poltergeists, demons, bigfoot, and supernatural entities of all kinds.

This book (an Amazon UFO bestseller) contains accounts of sightings, landings, and onboard UFO encounters. Many of the cases provide remarkable physical evidence: electromagnetic effects, physiological reactions (both injuries and healings,) landing traces and more. Most of the witnesses describe all kinds of paranormal and psychic events.

Several of his books have been Amazon UFO bestsellers. His articles have appeared in numerous magazines including Fate, Atlantis Rising, MUFON UFO Journal, Nexus, Paranormal Magazine, UFO Magazine, Phenomena Magazine, Mysteries Magazine, Ufologist and others. His writing has been translated into several different languages including German, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Icelandic.

You wake up to a pitch-black bedroom. You cannot move. A nefarious, black shadow begins to walk slowly, ominously toward your bed. You try to scream, but nothing comes out. Has this ever happened to you? If it has, you are not alone. Online statistic estimate anywhere from 17-50% of the population has reported experiencing sleep paralysis at least once in their lifetime. Most people describe the experience as terrifying and attribute it to some sort of paranormal or demonic experience. But what most sufferers of sleep paralysis really want to know is: What is it, really? Why are these entities targeting me? And how can I stop it?

Vicki Joy Anderson will share her research and belief as she attempts to answer these questions.

Vicki Joy Anderson graduated from University of Northwestern in St. Paul, MN majoring in Bible and English with a writing emphasis. After many years in corporate management, Vicki Joy stepped out in faith to become a full-time author and speaker in 2019.

Terje G. Simonsen is a Norwegian Historian of Ideas and non-fiction author, specializing in the esoteric and occult. He is educated at the University of Oslo, where he also has taught introductory courses on philosophical and literary works. His dissertation on the anthroposophical journal Janus received much acclaim and was released as a book in 2001. In the prestigious series The Cultural Library and The World’s Holy Scriptures, Simonsen has published essays on I and Thou, the mystically inspired main work by the dialogue philosopher Martin Buber, and The First Book of Enoch, an esoteric text from antiquity. Simonsen has received several grants, and is a full member of ESSWE, the European Society for the Study of Western Esotericism.

In addition, Simonsen is educated in gestalt therapy and psychosynthesis, and his varied career has also included stints in psychiatry, kindergarten, museums, security, catering etc. Today he works as a freelance writer. Simonsen is also a café aficionado, salsa dancer, amateur pianist and chess player.

Since childhood Simonsen has been fascinated by ‘magical’ phenomena as telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and healing—an interest based on some peculiar experiences of his own as well as strange stories told by friends and family. Later, this fascination led to extensive forays into esoteric and occult traditions, where such phenomena are not seen as chimera but as part of an expanded consciousness, and also into the science about such phenomena, i.e. parapsychology. The result is the present book, an entertaining, colorful and multifaceted good read, endorsed by several of the world’s foremost experts in the field – Dean Radin, Stanley Krippner, Jeffrey Mishlove, Jeffrey Kripal etc. - as well as a number of other authors and critics, as e.g. the Pulitzer-prize winner Teresa Carpenter and the New York Times bestselling fantasy-author Herbie Brennan.
