Host Karen welcomes historian and researcher Jim Windisch, owner of Heroic Moments Sports Memorabilia and a lifelong explorer of ancient history. Jim’s fascination with the mysteries of the past began in childhood after reading Chariots of the Gods and visiting excavation sites in Illinois, including Nauvoo and Dickson Mounds. These early experiences sparked a lifelong quest that has taken him across the Americas in search of evidence for lost civilizations. Jim shares his journeys to sacred sites—from North America’s indigenous mound complexes to the precisely carved stone walls of Peru—where the energy and craftsmanship suggest a reality beyond conventional history. Influenced by works such as Fingerprints of the Gods and deeply inspired by Edgar Cayce’s readings on Lemuria, Jim believes this ancient spiritual civilization left lasting imprints on humanity. He encourages seekers to explore both Cayce’s writings and James Churchward’s research for deeper insights into our collective past. In this conversation, Jim reflects on how these mysteries have shaped his spiritual growth, why he believes Lemuria truly existed, and what its enduring influence reveals about the evolution of the soul. Jim will also be a featured presenter at the Unveil the Truth: Ancient Mysteries and Cosmic Connections conference, taking place October 2–5, 2025.
