Midnight, On Earth

In this episode, I talk with life, leadership, and spiritual coach Christopher Sansone to explore his powerful book, Longing: A Pilgrimage to Your Quiet Power Within.Together, we examine the deeper nature of the Self, the soul’s purpose across lifetimes, and the inner wisdom that exists beyond our conditioning, personality, and everyday identity. Chris shares his perspective on reincarnation, karma, past-life healing, somatic channeling, and the work of “polishing the inner diamond” we each carry within us.At the heart of our conversation is the idea of soul wisdom—the understanding we gain when we fully move through life’s challenges rather than simply avoiding or surviving them. Chris explains how grief, trauma, loss, and upheaval can become what he calls sacred calamities, creating opportunities to develop deeper awareness, resilience, compassion, and connection with the soul. Over time, that accumulated wisdom can become a form of soul genius, helping us navigate life with greater clarity and purpose.We also discuss free will, pre-life planning, the importance of trusted allies during our darkest moments, and how adversity can become part of a much larger spiritual journey. This is a deeply thoughtful exploration of how we transform our experiences into wisdom; and how listening to the quiet power within can guide us back toward who we truly are.www.livelifesoul.comChris Sansone Bio:Christopher Sansone, PhD, is a seasoned life, leadership, and spiritual teacher and coach with over 25 years of experience, holding a PhD in Human Development from Fielding Graduate Institute and integrating human development theory, transpersonal psychology, and post-traumatic growth into an evidence-based, holistic practice. A certified practitioner of past-life regression therapy and former teacher of the Hoffman Quadrinity Process, he has empowered hundreds of clients through his training at the Co-Active Training Institute to lead with purpose, integrity, and self-awareness.

In this episode, we dive into another rare lecture and sit with the timeless wisdom of Ram Dass... With his unmistakable warmth, humor, and honesty, Ram Dass explores what it means to grow older within a culture that often fears aging and avoids the reality of death. Through deeply personal stories and reflections, he invites us to look beyond the changing body, the roles we play, and the identities we have accumulated—and to recognize the part of ourselves that remains present, aware, and untouched by time.This lecture is not simply about aging or dying. It is about learning how to live more authentically while we are here. Ram Dass challenges us to examine the “suit” we have been given in this lifetime without confusing it for who we truly are. He reminds us that beneath our fears, expectations, and attachments exists a deeper awareness rooted in love, compassion, humor, and presence.As we listen together, we consider our own relationship with impermanence, identity, and the inevitable transformations of life. What does it mean to age consciously? How can the awareness of death help us become more fully alive? And what becomes possible when we stop resisting change and simply allow ourselves to be who we are now? This lecture was recorded at the Omega Institute in 1995.www.ramdass.orgRam Dass Bio:Ram Dass was an American spiritual teacher, psychologist, and author who helped introduce Eastern philosophy and meditation to a wide Western audience. Born Richard Alpert, he was a Harvard professor before traveling to India in the 1960s, where he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, and received the name Ram Dass, meaning “servant of God.” His landmark book Be Here Now became a cornerstone of the modern spiritual movement, blending Hindu teachings, mindfulness, devotion, and personal transformation. Through his books, lectures, and humanitarian work, Ram Dass spent his life encouraging people to move beyond ego, live in the present moment, and approach life with compassion, humor, and love.

In this episode, I welcome back Sara Artemisia for a beautiful and expansive conversation about plant consciousness, nature-based healing, and the living intelligence of the Earth. Together, we explore how plants communicate, how nature reflects our own inner wholeness, and how the plant kingdom can help us reconnect with our deeper wisdom, purpose, and coherence. Sara shares her perspective on plants as conscious beings and multidimensional healers, offering us guidance, regulation, and remembrance in a world that often pulls us into fragmentation. We reflect on the evolutionary synthesis that plants and humans have together as living spirits.We also talk about Sara’s current work as a mental health therapist for intuitives, empaths, old souls, and healers. This part of the conversation looks at how those who are called to support others can also tend to their own emotional and energetic well-being, while staying grounded in their path and purpose.From there, the conversation opens into bigger questions about Gaia, ancestral healing, spiritual evolution, and the possibility that humanity and the plant kingdom are evolving together. Sara offers a deeply grounded yet mystical perspective on how connecting with nature can help us clear old patterns, regulate our nervous systems, and remember our place within the greater web of life...

In this episode, I talk with psychologist, mystic, breathwork facilitator and author Dr. Colleen Quinn to explore her powerful new book, Essence Merging.Through her deeply personal story, Colleen takes us on an extraordinary journey through trauma, healing, near-death experiences, spiritual awakening and the rediscovery of joy. Blending psychological insight with mystical experience, she shares how surrendering to a higher intelligence helped her unravel deeply rooted pain and reconnect with the sacred essence beneath the surface of everyday life.A major part of our conversation centers around conscious breathwork and its ability to bring us out of the analytical mind and back into the wisdom of the body. Colleen explains how the breath can become a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds, allowing stored emotions to surface, the nervous system to soften and expanded states of consciousness to emerge. We also discuss embodiment, divine connection, synchronicity, devotion and what it means to stop merely surviving life and begin fully merging with it.At its heart, Essence Merging is more than a memoir. It is a multidimensional love story and an invitation to awaken to the deeper intelligence moving through our lives. This was a beautiful and expansive conversation about healing, presence and the possibility that our longing for something more may actually be the voice of the soul calling us home. Drop in!www.essencemerging.comColleen Quinn Bio:Dr. Colleen Quinn is a transpersonal psychologist, child specialist, breathwork practitioner, researcher, and author of Essence Merging.Rooted in the original meaning of psychology as “the study of the soul,” Colleen’s work explores healing as a return to direct relationship with the deeper self. Through decades of teaching, research, and private practice, she has integrated Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, and conscious breathwork to help people access and heal stored trauma in the body.After her second near-death experience in 2018, Colleen uttered the prayer, “Let me be love in every moment,” which became the catalyst for her spiritual awakening. Essence Merging chronicles that raw and intimate transformation, weaving psychology, mystical synchronicity, ancient wisdom, breathwork, shame shedding, and an unconventional love story into an invitation to return home to the sacred self.

In this episode, I talk with author and translator Chris Berryman to talk about his fascinating book, The N-1 Sessions: Seasonal Reflections from the Outer Dimensions of Light, a channeled work credited to The Orion Contingent and transmitted through a being known as N-1.The book centers around a series of channeled transmissions that Chris says he received from N-1, a multidimensional intelligence connected to a larger collective known as The Orion Contingent. In our conversation, Chris explains how these sessions unfolded, what the process of receiving and translating the material was like, and why the messages were organized around seasonal reflections. We explore the core ideas presented in the book, including humanity’s spiritual amnesia, the influence of higher-dimensional beings, the relationship between consciousness and planetary evolution, and the call for human beings to reconnect with their own inner guidance during a time of increasing confusion, technological acceleration, and energetic intensity.Together, we talk about the deeper messages within The N-1 Sessions, including humanity’s disconnection from soul, the distractions of politics, technology, fear, and control, and the possibility that we are living through a profound transformation of consciousness on Earth. An incredible episode...

In this episode, I talk with author and researcher Judith Dillon to explore her latest book, Futhark Rune Mysteries: Origins of Magic and Divination in the Primal Alphabet. Judith brings more than 40 years of study into the relationship between early alphabets, Mystery Traditions, language, and sacred symbolism.Together, we explore the hidden lineage of the runes, tracing their possible journey from Egyptian hieroglyphs through Phoenician and Semitic writing systems into northern Europe. Judith reveals the runes not just as letters carved into stone or wood, but as magical symbols, spiritual portals, and initiatory tools connected to divination, myth, transformation, and the deeper architecture of reality.We also dive into Norse sagas, runic poems, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, and the ancient understanding of passage through life, death, and the afterlife. At the heart of this conversation is the mystery of language itself: the idea that alphabets may have been far more than practical systems of communication, carrying encoded wisdom, ritual power, and secret knowledge about the soul’s journey and its return to the light.This conversation opens a doorway into the living power of symbols and the ancient belief that language itself could shape reality. It is a journey through history, mythology, magic, and the sacred codes hidden within humanity’s earliest alphabets. An incredible episode...

In this episode, I sit down with Marcie Dean to explore sound as a bridge between worlds, and the possibility that music can carry more than emotion. Through her work with LovEvolve Music, Marcie approaches sound as a living frequency field — one that can hold messages, memory, healing, consciousness, and connection to the unseen.At the heart of Marcie’s story is her late partner, Jon, who passed away heroically while saving his son from a rip current. Before his death, Jon had promised that if anything ever happened to him, he would communicate with her through music — and after his passing, Marcie says that promise began unfolding in ways she could have never imagined.Together, we dive into her process of working with frequencies beyond normal human hearing and bringing them into the audible range, where she describes hearing voices and messages from the other side. This opens up a deeper conversation about Electronic Voice Phenomena, spirit communication, intuitive creation, and the idea that sound may be one of the most direct ways consciousness speaks through the veil.We also explore music as medicine: how certain frequencies can help regulate the nervous system, move grief through the body, activate deeper awareness, and reconnect us with the parts of ourselves buried beneath survival mode. This is a conversation about sound as spiritual technology, love beyond death, grief as initiation, and the possibility that the unseen world may not be silent at all.www.eletricblueunited.com , www.lovevolvemusic.comMarcie Dean Bio:Marcie Dean is a sound channel, intuitive creator, and founder of Electric Blue Communications and LovEvolve Music. After a series of life-altering losses, including the death of her partner Jon, who passed heroically while saving his son from a rip current, Marcie began receiving music and messages in a way that transformed her grief into a divine mission.Guided by love, spirit, and her continued connection with Jon, Marcie has developed a unique method of bringing frequencies once outside normal human hearing into the audible range, allowing what she describes as voices from the other side to come through her music. Through this process, she has created more than 400 genre-bending soundscapes that she calls “medicine,” designed to activate consciousness, support healing, and help listeners access deeper layers of awareness.Her work through LovEvolve Music has become what she describes as an “inter-dimensional band,” a collaboration between herself, Jon, and the light beings she feels moving through the music. After leaving behind a 20-year corporate career and investing everything into this vision, Marcie now shares her story as one of grief, surrender, spiritual communication, and the power of sound as a bridge between worlds. Her mission is to help others remember that love continues, consciousness expands, and music can become a doorway to the unseen.

In this episode, I welcome back prolific author, scholar, and returning guest Tobias Churton to discuss his latest book, Celestial Realms: A History of Heaven since before the Dawn of Time. Together, we explore one of the oldest and most universal questions humanity has ever asked: what is Heaven? Is it a place we go after death, a reward for spiritual virtue, the realm of the gods, a dimension of consciousness, or something already present within us? Drawing from Tobias’s vast historical and esoteric research, we travel through the heavenly visions of ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, the Abrahamic traditions, Eastern mysticism, Indigenous cultures, Polynesian and Aboriginal cosmologies, Renaissance alchemy, spiritualism, psychedelics, art, music, and modern philosophy.This conversation moves far beyond the simple idea of Heaven as a distant paradise. We look at Heaven as a living symbol, a spiritual need, a map of the soul, and perhaps even a state of being that humanity has been trying to remember since the beginning of time. Tobias brings his signature depth, humor, and poetic scholarship to a subject that touches every culture, every religion, and every person who has ever wondered what lies beyond this life; or what might be waiting within it.
