The Skeptic Metaphysicians | A Pragmatic Guide to Spiritual Awakening, Metaphysics & Consciousness

At Spirit Fest in Virginia Beach, Will and Karen sit down with Clint Greenlee of IESA Healing Arts and Soundworks to talk about Ormus — sometimes called "the philosopher's stone" — and the ancient mineral wisdom his Heal the World Project is built around.
 
Clint breaks down why even a "perfect" diet may only get you 70% of the way to real health, how copper deficiency quietly blocks your body from absorbing magnesium and iron, and why he believes healing should be radically simple: just a few single-ingredient tonics rather than a cabinet full of supplements. The conversation moves from Ormus tinctures and topical applications to Shilajit, castor oil, and the body's own capacity to detox, rebalance, and regulate the nervous system — including a live moment where Clint offers Will a hands-on remedy for his neck-related migraines.
 
It's a conversation about going back to basics: minerals from the ocean and volcanic ash, the wisdom of ancient healing traditions, and what it actually takes to let the body heal itself.

What if everything you've been doing in the name of spiritual growth is actually just... marketing? The meditation apps, the retreats, the affirmations. What if the real thing looks nothing like any of that?

That's the question Shaman Abhay Oyun walked into our studio with. He's a Siberian shamanic elder with 35 years of practice, 40 countries, and a lineage stretching back 40,000 years. He predicted the Ukraine invasion before it happened. He performed ceremonies for 2,500 people at the base of Mount Fuji. And he doesn't speak a word of English. This conversation happened through an interpreter.

Don't let that throw you. What came through was worth every pause.

In this episode, Will and Karen sit down with Shaman Abhay Oyun to explore:
Why he calls most modern spirituality "awakening marketing," and what real awakening actually requires
The Sixth Race. what it means to become an angel while still living on Earth, and why he believes this evolution is already happening
How shamanism actually works, no Bible, no doctrine, just direct contact with the powers that have the answers
Why your energy is draining and what to do about it tonight
The one thing a 40,000-year-old tradition says modern people are completely missing
Two sisters on heavy medication whose eyes literally changed after 25 sessions of simply sitting and breathing good vibration
How a Siberian shaman from his lineage once protected an entire village from a wildfire while everything around it burned to the ground
Why humor might be the most underrated energy practice on the planet
Plus: Abhay explains the difference between Siberian shamanism and every other tradition using a duck in Paris, a duck in Ukraine, and a duck in America. And he nearly drives to Norfolk on the spot.

This one got us. We think it'll get you too.

Ever been absolutely certain about something; a movie line, a cartoon character's outfit, a historical event, only to find out the whole world remembers it differently? That unsettling feeling has a name. It's called the Mandela effect, and it might be more than a memory glitch. 

Will opens with his own real-time reality shift. A boarding pass seat number that changed right in front of his eyes mid-flight, no explanation, no logical fix. Then he and Karen bring in Cynthia Sue Larson, a UC Berkeley-trained physicist, bestselling author of "Reality Shifts" and "Quantum Jumps," and founder of RealityShifters, to make sense of it.
 
Cynthia walks through where the term Mandela effect actually came from, Nelson Mandela's death that never happened, Art Bell's flooded phone lines on Coast to Coast AM, and why she pushed back on naming the phenomenon after him. From there, the conversation goes deep into quantum physics theories, including QBism and "Wigner bubbles," each offering a different explanation for why groups of people can swear they remember the same event happening two different ways.
 
It's a conversation that walks the line between hard science and mind-bending possibility, exactly the kind of topic that makes a skeptic start questioning what "real" even means.

What if dying is actually a skill? And what if most of us are completely unprepared for the one experience that is absolutely guaranteed to happen?
 
This week we sit down with Darnella Ford, award-winning author, trauma facilitator, and restorative guide, whose twenty-year journey into the non-physical began not with a spiritual calling, but with a breakup, a depression she couldn't shake, and a night of breathwork that sent her flying through a black void at incalculable speed.
 
What followed changed everything she thought she knew about life, death, consciousness, and what is waiting on the other side of that final breath.
 
In this episode we explore:
Why dying requires a specific kind of surrender, and why practicing it while you're still alive might be the most important thing you ever do
What actually happens to your consciousness the moment you leave your body
Whether your deceased loved ones are still around, still aware, and what they are doing right now
Why the death experience is completely customized to your own belief system
How the life review works, and why it dissolves the illusion of separation once and for all
Why the question isn't how to get out of the body, but how to actually be in it
The one thing Darnella wants you to do tomorrow morning before you reach for your phone
Plus, Darnella shares the devastating personal loss that became the beating heart of her latest book, and the question she spent four years answering because of it.

RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Darnella Ford
Website and private sessions: https://www.journeytoworthy.org/

Darnella's Book
The Next Breath: Life After Loss and Journeys Into the Hereafter
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FKWRNFKH

Books Referenced in the Conversation
Life After Life by Raymond Moody
The landmark book that introduced near-death experiences to mainstream awareness. Still the starting point for anyone new to the subject.

Journeys Out of the Body by Robert Monroe
Monroe's firsthand account of his out-of-body experiences, and the book that helped Darnella make sense of what was happening to her in 2006.

Adventures Beyond the Body by William Buhlman
Another foundational text Darnella turned to early in her journey, covering practical methods and experiences of out-of-body travel.
 
Practices and Modalities Mentioned
Holotropic Breathwork. The breathwork practice developed by Dr. Stanislav Grof that Darnella credits with opening the door to her first out-of-body experience. Practiced twice daily over several months before her initial experience.
 
Biomagnetic Healing. A remote energy healing modality Darnella uses in her private client sessions.

Ayahuasca. Darnella shared her experience with twenty ceremonies in the Amazon rainforest over seven years, working with a traditional shaman in Peru. She was transparent that this came thirteen years after her out-of-body experiences began, and has never produced an out-of-body experience for her personally.
 
Where to Study
Ramtha's School of Enlightenment (RSE), Yelm, Washington. Where Darnella studied Quantum Theory and Neuroscience from 2006 to 2009, and where her first out-of-body experience occurred. https://www.ramtha.com/
 
The Monroe Institute. Founded by Robert Monroe, this is one of the most established research and training centers for out-of-body exploration and consciousness studies. https://www.monroeinstitute.org/

Will and Karen sit down with licensed hypnotherapist Cat Cazimi, co-host of Hippie Chicks Live, for a deep dive into what hypnosis really is, and whether it can fast-track you to spiritual awakening.
 
Cat breaks down the biggest myth about hypnosis: the idea that it's a sleep-like state where you lose control. In reality, she explains, hypnosis is a hyper-focused state of receptivity, not unconsciousness, and you can never be made to do or say anything you don't want to. She walks through the difference between a light trance (think scrolling your phone or watching a movie) and the deeper theta state used in therapeutic work, and shares how she works with the most resistant clients, from analytical "monkey minds" who overthink their way out of relaxing, to people who drift too far into sleep.
 
Karen and Will also revisit their own hypnosis sessions with Cat, including a moment that helped Karen finally get consistent sleep, and a lighter memory involving an impromptu "world-class pianist" suggestion.
 
The conversation turns philosophical when Will asks Cat directly: is hypnotherapy a shortcut to enlightenment? Her answer redraws the line entirely, arguing that hypnotherapy ends and self-enlightenment begins the moment you're finally willing to meet yourself.
 
Also in this episode: a listener voicemail from Toronto on the healing power of screaming into the void (walk-in freezers and airport parking lots included), a five-star review from a listener in Portugal, and a live audience Q&A covering who can and can't be hypnotized.
