In this episode of Let’s Get Metaphysical, Sam nerds out about ancient technology with Sean Callahan, CEO of USA MedBed and Healthy Life Technology, a pioneer in energetically-enhanced wellness. Their conversation bridges ancient wisdom and futuristic healing — from pyramid power grids to plasma fields, because as Sean says, we're "just catching up" in our connection to Universal wisdom.Together, they explore:🧠 How ancient civilizations used advanced energy technology — from plasma fields to seed germination — to sustain the Earth and its people.🌌 Why modern science is only rediscovering what the ancients already knew about energy, consciousness, and healing.💎 The difference between living longer and living better — and how fulfillment, gratitude, and presence reverse biological aging.⚡ What plasma technology really is, and how it connects mind, body, and spirit.💜 How laughter, kindness, and creativity literally regenerate stem cells and raise the body’s frequency.🌍 The importance of spiritual maturity in a technologically advanced world — and what happens when we evolve our energy as well as our science.☀️ Daily practices for alignment, presence, and living intentionally in harmony with the planet.Sean reminds us that the ancients weren’t primitive — they were masters of energy. Their technology worked with nature, not against it. And perhaps the true frontier of healing isn’t about living forever, but about living consciously — in harmony with the energy that sustains all life.🌟 FOLLOW UP! 🌟Sean's website: USA Med BedSam's Website: Crosssam.comTikTok | Instagram | Substack

***THE LION'S GATE PORTAL IS NOW OPEN.*** Find out how to work with the most potent energy of the year. In this episode, we're connecting ancient Egyptian star wisdom with modern soul alignment. You'll find out how to work with this annual influx of energy to super-charge your manifestation power.In this episode, I break down:What exactly the Lion’s Gate Portal is — an alignment of Sirius, the Sun in Leo, Orion, and Earth.Its roots in Ancient Egypt, where Sirius’s rising signaled the Nile flood, fertility, rebirth, and the New Year under goddess Sopdet / Isis.The numerology of 8/8: infinite potential, cosmic balance, and alignment of material and spiritual realities.The modern astrological significance: Leo energy (courage, creation, self-expression) amplified through Sirius, aligning with themes of manifestation and expanded consciousness .How the ancient Egyptians aligned the pyramids and Sphinx with Orion, acting as energetic stargates or conduits for higher frequency energy.Practical rituals: how to harness this energy via meditation, intention setting, shadow integration, and heart-centered practices.Why this portal is about both personal transformation and collective shift, encouraging alignment, courage, and creative expression.THANKS FOR GETTING METAPHYSICAL! 🔮✨Sam Cross is a mystic, spiritual guide, artist, and illustrator.

What if mental health isn’t something to fix, but something to practice?In this episode, I talk about how burnout, breakdowns, and labels often just symptoms of energetic misalignment. I share personal stories from my corporate past, what ADHD coaching taught me about perspective, how I reconnected with my inner artist, and the moment a Moonlight Scorpio song (“Mental Health”) helped rewire my beliefs during a psychedelic trip.I unpack why most of us are primed for mental health struggles from childhood—because we’re taught to chase roles, not listen to our souls. I share how practicing daily rituals like breathwork, movement, and creative expression helped me shift from burnout to spiritual alignment, and why consistency is key, even when life feels “good.”I also talk about:​The root chakra and why it’s foundational to stabilityHow movement can be both exercise and exorcismWhy perspective is everything—and how most of ours is warped by Western conditioningThe role of creativity and the inner child in mental wellnessHow I moved from calling myself a “burnout coach” to owning my path as a spiritual mentor This episode is full of gold if you’ve ever wondered whether there’s more to mental health than the frameworks we’ve been given.✨ For meditations I’ve recorded, search Sam Cross on Insight Timer. You deserve time with your own energy.

In this episode, I talk with mystic and channel Mars, exploring:The rise of the Divine Feminine and collective consciousnessWhy many women unconsciously embody “little girl” energy for safetyFeminine frequency as the rhythm of life—creative, intuitive, and powerfulSacred rage, grief, and the dark feminine as catalysts for spiritual awakeningThe witch wound, inner child healing, and the return to self-sovereigntyAstrology as a mirror for energetic lineage and soul purposeMisunderstandings around the mother archetype—becoming Mother vs. seeking MotherHow poetic truth holds a deeper frequency than literal explanationThe role of storytelling, laughter, and sensitivity in spiritual expressionFOLLOW MARS ON TIKTOK: @mars_xvLISTEN TO HER PODCAST: Mother & Mirror

Dear Straight People: it's Pride month. Most people who live under the ever-expanding LGBTQ umbrella know what that means to them. But what does it mean to you? What if Pride is an invitation to a deeper level of humanity? What if it means something to all of us?This is an invitation to listen to stories this Pride month, and to tell your story, too. Every single human has been "othered" in some way. Our portal to compassion (for ourselves, and for each other) is through the medium of storytelling, and COMEDY.In this epsiode, I talk about:My own story: coming out as a lesbian in the flaming cultural dumpster of the early 2000sHow representation shapes our sense of possibility, and why that's life-changingThe heteronormative pressure on women to be mothers as the path to "love," observing and navigating that as a childfree-by-choice lesbianThe quiet ways patriarchy conditions all of us to feel othered, including men (but we're not supposed to notice)Why storytelling is the key to both personal and collective healing, ESPECIALLY COMEDY!!!Check out these BRILLIANT comedians:Jerrod Carmichael ("Don't Be Gay")Fortune Feimster ("Crushing It")Hannah Gadsby ("Nanette")Sam Jay, Sabrina JaleesMike Birbiglia, Will Ferrell ("Will & Harper")HAVE A WONDERFUL, COLOURFUL, VERY GAY MONTH! 🏳‍🌈

This is a deep episode about reparenting: Quantum Healing is about addressing all that's hurt us, at every point in time. The energetic ripple effect is complete, and affects *all versions of ourselves at every point in time* both forwards and backwards.Quantum Healing is an advanced psychospiritual approach to healing, led by the inner child. It's a powerful technique for ONE-TIME healing of what Tim calls "formative events."On this episode, we discuss:The first steps to Quantum Healing (knowing you're "the light," not the lighthouse);How to let your inner child lead;How the FEMININE FREQUENCY is the gateway to Quantum Healing, and surrender is the key;How Tim connects to his inner child, and how the inner child often tests us with deeper and deeper emotions.FOLLOW TIM ON TIKTOK: @mystic_timothy.***Please rate / review + follow / subscribe to this podcast to support my mission: to help seekers trust the Universe.Thank you for your support! ♥Subscribe to my Substack: ⁠Cosmic Playground⁠Follow me on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@crosssam⁠⁠⁠Follow me on Tiktok:⁠⁠ ⁠@cross.sam⁠⁠⁠***Sam Cross is a spiritual guide and creative.

CONTINUED from Ep. 34! Tim + I continue to deep-dive on the ROOT CAUSE of what we commonly refer to as "mental health" issues. (Tim is on TikTok: @mystic_timothy).We discuss:The "mental health" system deals with soul sicknessThe cycle of dependency created by The System, which is a business that doesn't understand energetics (and relies on "repeat customers" to keep the business running)Tim's NDE (or STE, "Spiritually Transformative Experience") and how the experience of witnessing his own death helped him learn to liveThe "halfway house" of religion, and how it also creates a cycle of "almost" feeling betterTim's journey to accept and love himself as gay (and Sam's perspective, worrying about people, not God)Ultimately, "coming to consciousness" is about accepting duality; letting things shift; not "being right"***Please rate / review + follow / subscribe to this podcast to support my mission: to help seekers trust the Universe.Thank you for your support! ♥Subscribe to my Substack: ⁠Cosmic Playground⁠Follow me on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@crosssam⁠⁠⁠Follow me on Tiktok:⁠⁠ ⁠@cross.sam⁠⁠⁠***Sam Cross is a spiritual guide and creative.

In society, we commonly (mis)understand "mental health" issues physically. We consider symptoms to come from disorders - for example, we think anxiety is generated by a disorder labeled "anxiety," and depression is generated by "depression."In truth, these are symptoms of a disturbance in the metaphysical. Soul disconnect causes anxiety and depression. "Mental health" issues are a manifestation of metaphysical disconnect in the soul or emotional / energetic body.Tim and I discuss this common misunderstanding, and:The common foundation for "mental health" issues (living inauthentically; masking; the energy drain of repression and resisting a spiritual transofmration);The "institutional path" (traditional schooling) and why it never felt like school "made sense" to us;Seeking validation as a symptom of missing internal validation;The societal "cure" for feelings (to run away and distract), and how they make spiritual disconnect worse;The true "cure" of surrender, feeling, and duality of emotion - there's a purpose to pain, and going through it is what will bring us back home to our authentic selves.Let's Get Metaphysical episodes will now come out biweekly! Part 2 of this conversation with Tim will air on May 16, 2025. ***Please rate / review + follow / subscribe to this podcast to support my mission: to help people understand the connection between human and spirit to truly come alive.Thank you for your support! ♥Subscribe to my Substack: ⁠Cosmic Playground⁠Follow me on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@crosssam⁠⁠⁠Follow me on Tiktok:⁠⁠ ⁠@cross.sam⁠⁠⁠***Sam Cross is a spiritual guide and creative.

Life will treat you as you treat yourself.The fabric of reality literally shifts in response to your relationship with yourself (and your energy). "Lucky" people aren't random: they share a core of self-respect.When you know that we incarnate in the middle of patterns, you can choose to heal those patterns. Then, you escape the Karmic Circus (or "default life") and join the Cosmic Playground (of conscious, intentional living). The choice is always yours.In this episode, we'll talk about all of this, and more.How living METAphysically will literally shift your realityHow you broadcast a vibrational signal that communicates to life what you want to receiveHow "personal power" isn't just a FEELING of empowerment or confidence, but a state of BEING How the knowledge that "everything is energy" can actually be applied to living your best life***Please rate / review + follow / subscribe to this podcast to support my mission: to help seekers trust the Universe.Thank you for your support! ♥Subscribe to my Substack: ⁠Cosmic Playground⁠Follow me on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@crosssam⁠⁠⁠Follow me on Tiktok:⁠⁠ ⁠@cross.sam⁠⁠⁠***Sam Cross is a spiritual guide and creative.

Humans are "the thinking species," which is why we're in such bad shape.For centuries, we've been trained to THINK and DO, when we were designed to BE, like any other species. (Bears don't have an ego about "being a bear" - they're just bears. We're learning this, slowly.)The "healing journey" is one of self-compassion, where you balance out your "thinking" with "being." It's a journey we're all making, both individually, and as a collective. This is a great thing: we're just still catching up.In this episode, we'll discuss:- The gongshow of human history (and how recent this "history" is)- The OG historical event that separated us from ourselves (and each other) 5000 years ago- How blaming your parents is the same thing as being obsessed with world disasters / tragedies- HOW TO BE HUMAN: 3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to ease your mind and embrace your being.#HigherConsciousness #HealingJourney #SpiritualAwakening***Please rate / review + follow / subscribe to this podcast to support my mission: to help seekers trust the Universe.Thank you for your support! ♥Subscribe to my Substack: ⁠Cosmic Playground⁠Follow me on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@crosssam⁠⁠⁠Follow me on Tiktok:⁠⁠ ⁠@cross.sam⁠⁠⁠***Sam Cross is a spiritual guide and creative.

Mathew Vetten is the hilarious, innovative, energetic visionary force behind Mad House, a BC-based non-profit community that does a little bit of everything. Branches of the Mad House tree include Mad House Builders (a home-building and renovation service), Mad House Gut Hut (meal delivery), and Mad House Events.Every Mad House initiative feeds its central cause: supporting artists-in-residence to realize their creative visions, giving creators the time and space to pursue their life's work.I sat down with Mathew to discuss:How the Mad House vision was born (from Mathew's initial idea ten years ago, to the Universe's timing);How trusting the Universe, synchronicity, and other people has been the key to bringing Mad House to life;How resources (people, places, and things) are the real currency, and how exchange economy works;Mathew's spiritual journey from church-based, to believing in self, the Universe, and the collective;The synchronicity that brought Mad House together: "It sounds like a made-up story: I met a man in the woods. But actually."How Mad House is representative of a movement that's emerging in humanity: less money worship, more trust in ourselves and each other.Follow Mathew on TikTok : @mr.vettenFor more about Mad House: mad-house.org***Please rate / review + follow / subscribe to this podcast to support my mission: to help seekers trust the Universe.Thank you for your support! ♥Subscribe to my Substack: ⁠Cosmic Playground⁠Follow me on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@crosssam⁠⁠⁠Follow me on Tiktok:⁠⁠ ⁠@cross.sam⁠⁠⁠***Sam Cross is a spiritual guide and creative.

The big myth that men "aren't intuitive" comes from the fact that most people don't know how intuition actually works.Neil is one of the most intuitive men I know. On this episode, he explains that intuition is like "broadband." The stronger your connection, the better you can receive information (the answers to all of your questions, big and small) that can ONLY be delivered through your intuition.The thing is: "receiving" is a FEMININE frequency. So, to use intuition (as Neil does), you'll need to learn a few things.We talk about:The power of listening (and how IMPROV has been a key tool for Neil);How Neil taps into intuition at work (and what happens when he doesn't);What happens when you IGNORE your intuition (hint: it's not good);The power of CURIOSITY (how trying new things inspires Neil, where it scares most people);Neil's metaphysical connection to his mental health (how his body sends signals that a wave of depression is coming so he can prepare).***Please rate / review + follow / subscribe to this podcast to support my mission: to help seekers trust the Universe.Thank you for your support! ♥Subscribe to my Substack: ⁠Cosmic Playground⁠Follow me on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@crosssam⁠⁠⁠Follow me on Tiktok:⁠⁠ ⁠@cross.sam⁠⁠⁠***Sam Cross is a spiritual guide and creative.

Once you can identify your ego (Level 1, personal healing) and society's ego (Level 2, collective healing) you can now become aware of the collective / Cosmic consciousness.This is Level 3, which is awareness that we're all connected at the Cosmic level, and humanity as a species is experiencing a re-integration.What?! Let me explain. There are 3 elements to this:1. We're all connected. I'm talking the Circle of Life. We've been trained to think we're born, and then we die, but that's not true: we are energy that cycles in and out, over and over. Every time we cycle, we rise in consciousness.2. We are one consciousness. Think of humanity like one giant brain. Some people represent the Ego; others represent the Higher Self. As we cycle through time, our collective consciousness increases. We evolve, and we're now experiencing a period of RAPID conscious expansion. (What looks like physical chaos is metaphysical progress.)3. We are connected to the Cosmos. Observing the movement of planets wasn't just for "the Ancients": they knew something profound that we've been disconnected from. When you synchronize your life to the movement of the planets (Astrology), you experience an upleveling like no other. This is how we're designed to work -- in connection with the stars.***Please rate / review + follow / subscribe to this podcast to support my mission: to help seekers trust the Universe.Thank you for your support! ♥Subscribe to my Substack: ⁠Cosmic Playground⁠Follow me on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@crosssam⁠⁠⁠Follow me on Tiktok:⁠⁠ ⁠@cross.sam⁠⁠⁠***Sam Cross is a spiritual guide and creative.

2023 was the year of my rebirth. I felt like a Rubik's cube, being rearranged and reshuffled BY the Universe... while learning what the Universe WAS.My main spiritual teacher at the time (Master Sri Akarshana) kept repeating: "everything that shows up for you, is FOR YOU." Because so much showed up all at once... I started to believe it.In this episode:The life transformation that taught me how the Universe works (removing old energy in order to birth the new)Opportunity portals: how they work, and how crucial SELF-WORTH is to go through themHow every answer you seek SHOWS UP when you awaken your energyHow SACRIFICE keeps us stuck in cycles of GUILTThe 3 lessons I learned: about guilt, allowing others' life to be their teacher, and how the initial pain of change is WORTH the value of transformation.***Please rate / review + follow / subscribe to this podcast to support my mission: to help seekers trust the Universe.Thank you for your support! ♥Subscribe to my Substack:⁠Cosmic Playground⁠Follow me on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@crosssam⁠⁠⁠Follow me on Tiktok:⁠⁠ ⁠@cross.sam⁠⁠⁠***Sam Cross is a spiritual guide and creative.
