In this episode, Crystal Cassidy and I listen to a rare lecture from the legendary Alan Watts titled, - 'Why Nothing Is More Powerful Than Something'. In this talk, Watts explores the paradox at the heart of Eastern philosophy: that what appears to be “nothing” is not mere absence, but the generative space from which all form, awareness, and experience arise. Drawing on Zen and Taoist insights, he reframes emptiness as pure potential, the silent condition that makes sound, movement, and existence itself possible.

Crystal Cassidy, host of the Soulpod podcast and creator of the Soulpod app, joins me as co-host, bringing a grounded perspective shaped by her work in emotional awareness and practical spiritual integration. We listen to the lecture in real time, taking notes as Watts unfolds his reflections on emptiness, identity, and the deeper rhythm between being and non-being.

After the lecture, we discuss how Watts presents nothingness not as indiffrence, but as the fertile field that allows creativity, perception, and consciousness to emerge. His insights challenge our attachment to fixed identity, constant doing, and the impulse to fill every space with meaning or activity. We reflect on how embracing spaciousness can dissolve rigid self-concepts, how creative potential arises from openness, and how learning to trust the void can shift the way we relate to fear, control, and the unfolding of life. The episode becomes a contemplative dialogue on presence, paradox, and the quiet power hidden within what first appears to be nothing at all.

Alan Watts Bio:

Alan Watts was an incredible philosopher and speaker who had a unique way of exploring Eastern philosophy and spirituality. His captivating lectures and books have inspired countless people around the world.

Alan Watts was born in England in 1915 and developed a deep interest in Eastern philosophy from a young age. He studied Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism, and became a renowned interpreter of these philosophies for Western audiences. His ability to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western thought made him a popular figure in the counterculture movement of the 1960s.

One of the central themes in Watts' teachings was the concept of "the self." He explored the idea that our sense of self is an illusion, and that we are all interconnected with the universe. He encouraged people to embrace the present moment and find joy in the simple act of being alive.

Watts had a way of delivering profound insights with a sense of humor and playfulness. He believed that life should be approached with a sense of wonder and curiosity, and that we should not take ourselves too seriously. His lectures often included anecdotes, stories, and metaphors that helped illustrate his points in an engaging and relatable way.

In addition to his lectures, Watts wrote numerous books on topics such as Zen Buddhism, Taoism, and the nature of consciousness. Some of his most well-known works include "The Wisdom of Insecurity," "The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are," and "The Way of Zen."

Alan Watts passed away in 1973, but his teachings continue to resonate with people today. His ability to distill complex philosophical concepts into accessible and relatable ideas has made him a beloved figure in the world of spirituality and philosophy.

Drawing from the core teachings of her bestselling book The Secret Language of Your Body: The Essential Guide to Health and Wellness, Inna reveals how our physical symptoms often carry hidden emotional, mental, and energetic messages - and how learning to “listen” to the body can unlock profound healing and transformation.

From there, the conversation opens into the deeper terrain of spiritual ancestry and how inherited energetic patterns can influence physical health across generations. We discuss how trauma shapes the body’s language, why symptoms can act as signposts for unresolved emotional states, and how communicating directly with body consciousness can become a powerful tool for self-healing.

Inna shares her perspective on the extraordinary role perception and mental focus play in shaping physical reality, pointing to the profound relationship between thought, belief, and biological expression. The dialogue evolves into a broader exploration of spiritual and life evolution, including what she understands as Christ Consciousness and the subtle yet constant presence of angelic guidance in everyday life.

We also venture into more esoteric territory, touching on the influence of Rudolf Steiner’s philosophy on her worldview, the concept of archons, and the larger energetic dynamics that may be at play behind human experience.

In this episode, I’m joined once again by Dr. Amy Albright, founder of the Holon Experience, for a deep dive into the frontiers of human consciousness, neuroscience, and what it really means to evolve as a species.

We explore how human experience exists in a neurological space that is both pre-biochemical and post-biochemical- how our perceptions, reactions, and sense of self aren’t just chemical events, but emerge from deeper informational and energetic processes within the brain and nervous system. Amy shares how the Holon Experience is pushing the edge of modern neuroscience by engaging the brain beyond traditional stimulus-response models, opening doorways into states of awareness that science has struggled to map using purely physical language.

Our conversation moves into the long-standing challenge science faces when trying to understand the human brain through the lens of the nonphysical - consciousness, meaning, intuition, and inner experience. We talk about the difference between mind and body consciousness, and how integrating these layers isn’t just theoretical, but profoundly transformational.

Amy also shares updates on the latest advancements in Holon Experience technology, and how understanding how our brains actually function, not just anatomically, but experientially, can unlock higher levels of creativity, coherence, healing, and human potential. When we stop treating the brain as a machine and begin relating to it as a dynamic, responsive field, everything changes.

We also talk about the realization that we are not isolated minds in separate bodies, but holographically connected expressions of a much larger whole. Each of us carrying the pattern of the all within us, reflected through our nervous systems, our awareness, and our capacity to remember who we truly are.

This is one of those conversations that doesn’t just give you ideas - it gives you a felt sense of what’s possible. Drop in!

In this episode, I talk with Daniel Bourke, author of Telepathic Tales: Precognition and Clairvoyance in Legend, Lyric, and Lore, about the deep and often overlooked thread of extrasensory perception that runs through human history. Our conversation moves across cultures, myths, and lived experience, revealing how telepathy, precognition, and clairvoyance aren’t fringe anomalies but recurring features of the human story. From ancient legends and Indigenous traditions to poets, mystics, and modern thinkers, we explore why these experiences are woven into the fabric of reality in an almost archetypal way..

We dive into the phenomenon of crisis apparitions and how moments of shock, danger, or emotional intensity can open unexpected channels of perception. Daniel shares insight into how we may be connected as inherently telepathic beings, linked not just psychologically but through an unseen relational field that extends beyond the body. We talk about how ESP shows up in every major religion, often reframed as prophecy, revelation, divine guidance, or mystical knowing, and why these experiences were once honored rather than dismissed.

Our discussion also moves into dreaming and the future-facing nature of consciousness. We explore why people so often dream events before they happen, how many cultures understood dreams as a form of guidance or intelligence, and the idea that each of us may have a companion spirit or extended version of ourselves operating in an outer field of awareness. Daniel explains how Indigenous cultures used sophisticated dream practices to make communal decisions, navigate danger, and stay aligned with the living world. We also talk about how DMT, when released during sleep, might be the catalyst for inter dimensional communication.

Throughout the conversation, we return again and again to the idea that telepathic and psychic experiences are not rare at all, but quietly woven into everyday life, myth, memory, and intuition. An incredible episode! Drop In!

In this episode, I talk with Lisa Campion, a professional psychic, energy healer, and teacher with over 40 years of experience and more than 15,000 client sessions. Lisa has spent decades helping people understand their intuitive abilities in a practical, embodied way, and our conversation moves deep into what it actually takes to work with energy consciously while staying grounded in everyday life.

We explore how developing psychic abilities is closely tied to learning how to shift brainwave states at will; moving between focused awareness and expanded perception without losing balance or clarity. Lisa explains why grounding and clearing practices are foundational for anyone doing intuitive or energy work, especially empaths, and how learning to manage your energetic field helps you stay present rather than overwhelmed. We also talk about recognizing and navigating energy vampires, and how healthy energetic boundaries are an act of self-respect rather than withdrawal.

Lisa shares insights from her decades of hands-on experience, including her work with what she calls Quantum Lightwave Healing Technology; a method that works with light, frequency, and consciousness to help release deeply held energetic patterns. We talk about how healing through energy work can unfold when people reconnect with their intuition, clear old imprints, and allow their nervous system and energy body to reorganize naturally.

Toward the end of the conversation, we widen the lens into galactic consciousness, collective awakening, and the idea of the new earth as a frequency of love amplified; a shift in how humans relate to each other, to the planet, and to consciousness itself. An incredible episode.. Drop In!

In this episode, I’m joined by Debbi Dachinger, award-winning host of the Dare to Dream podcast, shamanic practitioner, healer, author, and so much more. Debbi’s path has woven together journalism, indigenous shamanic traditions, energy medicine, and direct inquiry into humanity’s relationship with non-human intelligence, making her a uniquely grounded voice in conversations about the unseen and the cosmic.

We begin with Debbi’s personal life story and the experiences that shaped her path, including how she was chosen and trained within shamanic lineages and how those initiations opened her awareness to multidimensional realities. She shares how her calling unfolded organically through service, healing work, and a deep remembering of who she is beyond this lifetime. From there, our conversation expands into what it means to connect with your galactic family as an embodied remembrance that many people are quietly awakening to right now.

A theme of our discussion is the idea that before incarnating, many of us entered into agreements — conscious soul contracts — to be here at this time as lightworkers, wayshowers, and catalysts for planetary transformation. Debbi offers insight into how these agreements reveal themselves through intuition, synchronicity, and a persistent sense of mission. We explore how shamanic wisdom intersects with galactic consciousness, how ancient Earth traditions have always understood humanity as part of a much larger cosmic family, and why so many people feel a growing urgency to remember why they came here.

We also dive deeply into the meaning of the starseed mission itself — what it actually represents beyond labels, why some souls feel out of place in this world yet deeply committed to helping it evolve, and how remembering that mission can realign your life with purpose, compassion, and clarity.

In this episode, Brynn Anderson and I listen together to a rare lecture from the legend Manly P. Hall, recorded on December 22, 1985, before a live audience in Los Angeles, as a way of consciously opening a new year. In this lecture, Hall uses the turning of the season as a metaphor for the rebirth of light and life within each of us, emphasizing that every new year presents the same quiet invitation: to realign. He speaks of happiness not as something to pursue, but as a natural byproduct of alignment; when thought, action, and inner purpose come into harmony with universal law. Rather than urging external change, Hall points toward inner maturity as the true foundation for renewal.

A central theme of the talk is light itself. Hall describes the sun as both a macrocosmic source of life and a microcosmic symbol of the illumination each person carries within. To "act as the light within" he suggests, is to live in a way that naturally expresses clarity, balance, and understanding. Over the course of his lifetime, Hall returned again and again to this idea: that personal growth and inner responsibility are not only spiritual ideals, but the real solution to our collective challenges.

As we listen, Brynn and I take notes, and we reconven after to reflect on what we have learned.. This episode offers a different kind of New Year opening - one grounded in awareness rather than urgency, and rooted in the understanding that lasting change begins with alignment, as we step forward carrying the light we’ve cultivated within.
