The Conscious Bro Show

*** New Conscious Bro Show today on 91.9 FM WDRT!*** Replay Below! In todays show we explore the deep “underwater” realms of our inner life… Have you ever spent time just sitting still…and looking/feeling within? What are you actually feeling in this moment?….Where is it?…And what are the qualities of that sensation? What is actually true about you in this moment in your immediate experience?...body, mind, emotion, and spirit.... With what detail and nuance can you describe this experience? What imagery, pictures, and/or scenes come to mind? And what are the practical uses of having this level of awareness? Can it help use work through previously unresolved emotions and/or issues in our life? There is an entire world of experience hidden within that many are not aware of….with a multitude of pearls and gems covering the landscape…waiting for discovery.... To help show how we can permeate these worlds with more of our conscious being I have brought on Dayne McGuire. She has been studying The Diamond Approach for over 5 years now a leads a local group here in town through these explorations and processes of inquiry. “The Diamond Approach is a modern-day spiritual path. It brings forth a unique understanding of ancient spiritual wisdom and modern psychology to help students uncover their true potential. The Diamond Approach invites us to discover our inner love of truth solely for its own sake—you simply need a sincere desire to know what is true about yourself. The teachings, practices, and community are a path for self-exploration that support greater self-awareness and a more fulfilling life. Individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves and true nature.” To find out more Listen In to our latest show.... Conscious Bro Out! 

This weeks broadcast is a fascinating journey into the epic story of the human being… Our origins as a spiritual being…what trials, tribulations, and traumas we’ve dealt with along the way….what soul growth challenges we face together now as a species….and our ultimate destiny moving forward as one collective human race. And why is healing addiction a crucial factor in all of this? How is addiction and ascension related?  To help me map out this grand tail of descension into matter and then rising back into the spirit through the ages….I brought on Yiana Belcher Yiana is an author, a clinical counsellor, an anthroposophist, and teacher with a captivating perspective on this matter… Listen in today to find out more about why we are here and what our great task is in the years ahead… Conscious Bro Out!!

In this months episode I assembled a panel of Anthroposophists (Verna Kragnes, Roberta Nelson, and Mason Berube) on a biodynamic farm just outside of Fargo, ND in Felton, MN. Anthroposophy is the philosophy developed by Rudolf Steiner based on his own spiritual scientific research. Each guest had much to say about what this way of perceiving the world means to them and how it has changed there lives for the better… Each one gets deep into their own personal initiatives…from farming to addiction counseling….from ecology to psychology…and how this spiritual science has enhanced each of their fields greatly from a practical stand point. Listen to this podcast to learn more about how to bring clarity to complex spiritual concepts through anthroposophy and tangibly put your spirituality into action in a precise way for the good of humanity. Blending fundamental spirituality with your daily work in the world in just about every field imaginable. And learn why this is the necessary…even crucial task of our time… Conscious Bro Out!

I had a world renown Eurythmist staying at my house last week for a conference and performance in town so I took the opportunity to bring her on the show to find out more of what this amazing movement art is all about!  Jan Ranck is well known globally for her mastery of Eurythmy and travels around the world putting on shows and classes… Our conversation was absolutely fascinating as we delved into the many mysteries and benefits to be gained by this sacred practice…. So what exactly is Eurythmy? What can you gain from integrating this beautiful form of movement into your life?  What are the health benefits? Can it increase vitality? How does this form of spiritual movement differ from others such as Tai Chi or Chi Gong? How can it help you develop and access different forms of spiritual perception? And how is sound involved? What do sound and form have in common? What are formative forces and how do you define and understand the etheric world?… And finally, how can Eurythmy help you strengthen your etheric body and perceive the etheric world? How can it help you tap into greater states of love, forgiveness, and compassion? We will explore the answers to all these questions and much more on this podcast. Conscious Bro Out!  P.S. Stay tuned til the end as our discussion takes an interesting turn and delves into matters that may surprise you toward the last third of our discussion :)

I have been hearing whispers that there is potential for the Nuclear Power plant in Genoa, WI to start back up again in the future….and certain moves are being made now that suggest this … So I had Spark Burmaster on to unravel the details here and discuss all things nuclear power and EMFs Spark has been a clean energy activist for 40 years and he teaches people how to do environmental inspections and how to protect themselves from electromagnetic exposure… We get into a lot info about nuclear power itself and certain decisions being made in the power industry locally that could effect us all And then he breaks down the nuances of energy and frequencies out there that are causing us harm. And what we can do about it!  Listen in to find out what you can do to help protect yourselves, your families, and the community! Conscious Bro Out! P.S. Look in the comments for an 11 page pdf created by Spark for more info on the power plant in Genoa, WI. 

On this show we explore society at large… What is it going to take for everyone to be heard? How can we prioritize amazing ideals such as Freedom, Equality, and Solidarity all together in one system? How can the Structure of society be set up to reflect the natural layout of the human being and nature around us from a physical and spiritual point of view?…. Is it possible for the right and the left to both feel honored and appreciated by leadership simultaneously?  To answer some of these questions I had my friend, writer, teacher, and activist Seth Jordan come speak about Social Threefolding….a field he’s been studying and working with closely for over 16 years.  Social Threefolding is a philosophy pioneered by Rudolf Steiner that is designed to heal the Social Organism and, in my opinion, solve many of the issues we are still fighting over today…. So what is exactly? How does it work?  How can it change the way we live together and treat each other for the better? And how do we implement it! Find out the answers to all these questions and more on todays podcast... Conscious Bro Out!  P.S.

In circles I hang out in and books I’ve read I’ve heard whispers of an inventor in the late 1800s with all sorts of incredible inventions that have the power to blow the mind and challenge our world view of what is actually possible.  Among many other things he discovered a new form of energy to animate machines powered by harmonic vibration and scalar forces (aka mind forces) that were the source of much wonder, awe, and controversy in his time. This mans name was John Keely.  The likes of Rudolf Steiner even was very encouraged by Keely’s work and what it could mean for the evolution of humanity.  But what happened to his inventions? Why haven’t most people heard of John Keely? It turns out that there are people still alive today working to replicate the genius of Keely so I contacted one to have him on the show. “Dale Pond is a renaissance man with a diversified yet general background in chemistry, physics, mechanical engineering, machinist, metal working and tool making, computers, mathematics, acoustics, hydrodynamics, geometry, music, and common law (and some other stuff too!). His experience includes technical writing, farming, lecturing, corporate training, business, metal and wood working, manufacturing, publishing and authoring scientific and philosophical journals and books. Maker of Musical Dynaspheres Atlin, Symael, Altea, Alcea, Alya.” So what did John Keely actually invent? And how can this change the world? What is “moral technology”? How can it help the human race evolve? What is Sympathetic Vibratory Physics? Can the concepts such as “sympathy” and dare I say “love” be understood and explained through science? Can this this frequency be harnessed? Can it heal? Can it animate objects? And how does music play into all of this!?  How is Dale demonstrating the principles that Keely brought forth in his own inventions today? Find out the answers to all these questions and much more on today's podcast... Conscious Bro Out! P.S.

A world renowned economist was in Viroqua this week so we had him pop by the studio and hear what he had to say. Christopher Houghton Budd has met with many central bankers, advised government officials, created a financial class for the EU, and is the author of around 40 books internationally. He is also one of the leading authorities in the world on Associative Economics which is Rudolf Steiner’s contribution to the field. I left this interview feeling very inspired and encouraged about the possibilities of the future. Solutions exist that could help heal our economy. They are out there if we we take a step back and look at things differently… What if I told you that land technically doesn’t have value? What if we invested in people (especially young people) rather than real estate?  What are Youth Bonds? Why do so many people lack access to the necessary capital they need to create their vision?  And what can be done about that? How does economics originate in the metaphysical realm? Why is knowing basic bookkeeping a must for everyone?  Why is Equity technically a liability on the balance sheet? And what can we do to help heal the economy? We will explore the answers to all of these questions and much more in today's podcast... Conscious Bro Out!  P.S.

On this show we ask the question why do so many of us feel helpless to create change in our own communities? Why is it so hard to shift the “status quo” in business and government? Why can’t our laws and social structures just simply be a reflection of what we all truly want and need? What is stopping us? It just so happens that a national leader in the community rights movement, Paul Cienfuegos, was in Viroqua this week…so we had him stop by to answer some of these questions… Paul has been leading workshops across the US since 1995 (at least 3 of them in Viroqua). He is the director of Community Right US. And just released his new book… “How Dare We? Courageous Practices to Reclaim Our Power as Citizens” According to Paul, one business vehicle in particular is standing in the way of our pathway to creating a better world….and has essentially been turned against us over time through court rulings and legal precedents. Corporations. Corporations in and of themselves aren’t “bad”….it’s just that their definitions and purposes have, in runaway train fashion, gotten out of control to the detriment of all life on this planet…. So Paul takes us through the intricate legal history of how this happened…and let me tell you….it is mind blowing. Are corporations today more powerful than governments? What constitutional rights do they have? Civil rights? Can you legally discriminate against a corporate entity? What if I told you that some corporations legally have the right to harm you? And what can we do about this? How do we fix this gigantic issue? How do we recognize our own sovereign authority and take our power back!? We will answer all these questions and much more on this podcast… Conscious Bro Out!

On this show, we will be considering the inner/hidden principles that underlie the oft considered ‘dry’ field of economics.  To do that, I have invited local resident Kim Chotzen who has been studying associative economics for many years and she will describe what she means by it - from big-picture concepts to very practical steps one can take to change the modern economic landscape one entrepreneur and transaction at a time.  Did you know that the basic accounting structure used today was invented by a monk in the 15th century?  Did you know that, objectively speaking, equity is a liability on the balance sheet? And what does that mean exactly?  What about collateralized lending and charging interest?  What are some practical things we can do in our own lives to address today’s economic circumstances?  What does 'entrepreneurship as an initiation' really mean?  We will explore all of these questions and much more in todays podcast...

Did you know that Viroqua has received a grant for $6 million for local affordable housing!? Big news! How is this money gonna be spent? What new exciting housing development project can we expect to see in our future? To answer these questions my co-host Tony Macasaet and I brought on local architect, urban designer, and former city council member Gregory Splinter. Some quick facts we uncovered were… -The city is currently pursuing low-income apartment rental buildings with an out-of-town developer to be built across Main Street from the Viroqua Food Co-op -In this model, the developer would receive the entire $6 million grant -The developer would own the land and buildings -The developer would collect all the rent from the tenants for the next 30 years Concerned about the implications of these decisions and the broader impact to Viroqua/Vernon County Gregory then presented to us another potential model of his own design… What if there was a way to keep the value, ownership, and equity within our community? Rather than flowing to an outside entity? What if the $6 million grant actually went to local residents rather than an out-of-town developer? What if there was a project based on homeownership? Creating cheap and affordable housing that local residents could actually own!? What kind of advantage would that give local residents as opposed to renting? What if this site could be developed by local companies, local architects, and local contractors? What if the site could have a mix of affordable and market rate housing for ownership rather than primarily low-income apartment rentals? What if we could build a state-of-the-art pocket neighborhood in the heart of Viroqua that we all could be proud of? What if you could buy a brand new home in the heart of Viroqua for 40% off?? Would you have to pay property tax on this land for the next 20 years? What can we do to help the city of Viroqua slow down and reconsider their options? We will answer all these questions and much more in this show Conscious Bro Out! P.S. If you want to see Gregory Splinter’s model become a reality here in Viroqua or if you simply think that the City Council should step back from their commitment with the current developer and have both options compared side-by-side with due diligence in one or more public forums before moving forward click the link below and sign the petition! https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/afford-viroqua

Since the holidays are coming up…I wanted to get into acts of selfless service…spreading love and lifting up others.. To help me with that I have invited on Elle Erickson aka The Booth Fairy! Elle is doing something quite remarkable and inspiring that I think more people need to know about. Stationed out of Ashville, NC she heads The Booth Fairy Project. This project puts on a variety of activities from “Bliss Mobs”, trash clean up, and uplifting events in senior living facilities to spreading positive signs across your city, meaningful billboards with no ads, “loving heckling” on the street, and thrift store events with costumes, bubbles, DJs, comedy, tarot readers and much more! I stumbled upon one of her events in Ashville a year and a half ago and was blown away by the intense wave of positive energy. She slapped a “hello, my name is Viking” name tag on my chest while I picked “shitty advice” off of the menu, and then I ordered the “slow clap”….. and she had me step up on a platform while the entire venue proceeded to give me a slow clap standing ovation! I was quite surprised at how much better I felt after receiving the slow clap…it was exhilarating and completely changed my mood. There is also “staring contest”, “thumb wrestling”, “free compliments”, “gluten free hugs”, and plenty more on the menu… In this show Elle goes in to depth about all of the beautiful gifts she offers to communities sharing many transformational stories of people touched by this work along the way. And she tells us how she started doing this outstanding work for communities all across the county… How does she do it? Where did this unique idea come from? Where does her well-spring of good energy come from? Can human kindness replace coffee as your daily source of energy? What kind of difference can a little human connection have in your work day? For your community? How can you sponsor the booth fairy to come to a city near you or create a chapter yourself? Listen in to Find out the answers to all these questions and more  Conscious Bro Out!

I’ve been noticing that people today are becoming increasingly fed up with the political climate of the left and the right… Do you have a hard time relating to either party like I do? As time goes on are you starting to notice that your values are aligning less and less with your traditional party of choice? If so I wanted to spend this show introducing you to a third party option that I’ve been exploring this year…It’s currently the third biggest in the country and it’s gaining momentum fast. The Libertarian Party. To help me break this down I brought on Region 6th representive (of 10 states), board member of National Libertarian Party, and Founder/Chair of Libertarians of Southwest Wisconsin Joseph Ecklund Here we get into the nuts and bolts of what it actually means to be a Libertarian. In a sentence…Don’t harm people. And don’t take their stuff! We talk party planks and many other exciting developments that are currently underway within the party. Like….ending the federal reserve…ending the IRS…ending the CIA and many other alphabet agencies ….Did I say ending the war on drugs?? We also get into the current long term strategies of the Libertarian Party to be involved at the local level…to influence the left and right to honor liberty… and to make the world a better place that I think you will like… How can a libertarian philosophy protect the environment? What is the Federal Reserve and how is it effecting us today? What is the war in Yemen? And Why are Libertarians currently the only ones addressing these concerns? Do you have Libertarian values but think that a libertarian candidate doesn’t stand a chance? Then listen up! :) All these answers will be addressed and much more in this podcast... Conscious Bro Out!

In todays show I delve into the fascinating field of Social Threefolding originated by Rudolf Steiner. Rudolf Steiner was a scientist, mystic, clairvoyant, and well known spiritual teacher that lived in Europe during the late 1800s/early 1900s. After witnessing the devastation caused by WWI he concentrated his genius on how to solve the immense social problems of the day. He believed that human beings have a threefold nature…body, soul, and spirit…and thus the greater community made up of human beings also has a threefold nature as well… Consisting of an economic realm (body), a political realm (soul), and a cultural realm (spirit) Each three aspects of our social nature must be cared for in unique ways to bring about the health of the social organism as a whole… Social threefold is like tending to and caring for the soil of society…giving the ground the nutrients it needs and creating space for the healthy solutions to rise up out of the Earth organically. To help me in laying this complex field out I asked my friend, teacher, writer, and anthroposhical scholar Robert Karbelnikoff to come on. How can we create a healthy culture, government, and economy? How can we resolve hyper polarity? Can freedom, equality, and cooperation all find a natural place in a healthy society? What exactly is culture? What actions can we take locally to bring these concepts to life. We will discuss all these topic and more in this podcast. Conscious Bro Out.

I met a fascinating man at the Rainbow Gathering in Colorado last month… David Alexander English is an author, documentary film maker, artist, musician, researcher, archeological discoverer, and a scientist all wrapped up in one. Over the proceeding 3 hours he shared with me an exciting development happening within the energetic grid of planet Earth right now that has never been witnessed before. This planet has much more to it than what meets the eye… All through out there are numerous invisible lines of energy, called Ley lines, that circle the globe. Some come from the Earth….others come from much greater cosmic bodies whose frequencies get picked up by and reflected out by the Earth. A few GRANDLY significant new Ley lines have been discovered  recently….and 2 of them are going directly across the US. And they are growing in size!…fast…. Where are they? Why is this happening? What do does this mean for the planet? What does this mean for all of us? Do this new energy have positive….even healing benefits?? Tune in today to find out! Conscious Bro Out!

This week Tony Macasaet and I dive into the world of intentional communities. So many people want to start them but why do so few actually work out? What can this new way of living provide for the greater overall culture? And what does it take to get them off of the ground? To help us with these questions we brought on my friend Ali Schaffer who is currently in the process of creating her own. Ali is a Naturopathic Doctor, an ordained minister, a Shamanic Priestess, a teacher, and a community space holder and builder. In this show Ali takes us through her grand and inspiring vision sharing her intention, the overall layout, as well as the challenges, set backs, and obstacles that have come up in the process. Her Mission? “Villages in Sanctuary; transforming the culture of education, healing, spirituality and community in the Midwest. Here in the heart of our nation, at the Crossroads of America, veins like roads pulse from our center to every major highway in the entire country. As we partner with more Souls to do these transformational works, it'll continue to beat across the United States to help shift outdated systems and to elevate consciousness on this continent and with a ripple, to the planet.” Her Vision? “We are a group of free-thinking leaders creating the world we want to see. As a Non-Profit we are building living communities of people committed to aiding the shift to thriving paradigms through education, empowerment, connection, collaboration, & transformation. We will help elevate our world. This Vision is expansive, and no one gets left behind. Once we've established this village, we will be traveling with the blueprints to help others build community, healing centers, and free-thinking schools while joining the Land Back Movement.” Values? “Our values are to collaborate and build trust within the Conscious community through authenticity and honesty, without harmful parts of our Ego or judgement. To be independent from systems that don't serve the collective and steward land and Earth in a sustainable way. To enable others to move through hardships and create an atmosphere of love, respect, & awareness. To commit to service from infant to the elderly and in life through death. “ If you have ever dreamed of starting an intentional community this show is for you! Conscious Bro Out! P.S.

This episode we are focusing on the dynamics of the unseen vibrations…and energy all around us….and how it effects our life on the daily To help me break down this vast topic I turned to none other than Shivani Arjuna who has great knowledge and many years of experience in such matters. We go into many things such as dosing, pendulums, Agnihotra, energy grids, harmful electronic frequencies and much more! I even use my currently swollen knee as an example while she describes how she could diagnosis it with a Vibrational Radiesthesia approach. Why is it important to detect the subtle energy lines around us? Could they play a part in our overall health and well-being? Why is it important to protect ourselves from the harmful emissions of electronics, wifi, and cell phones? What can we do to stay away from detrimental energy lines on the earth and detrimental technology or if we can’t do that how can we harmonize these vibrations? How can we heal ourselves with vibration? Conscious Bro Out! P.S. Shivani will be a putting on a “Practical Introduction to The Science Of Vibrational Radiesthesia” Sunday, May 22nd in Viroqua, 2-4 PM. If you are interested in attending either call her directly at 608-634-4082 or email her at sarjuna@aol.com.

This month I invited my good friend Juliee de la Terre to speak in preparation for the Earth Day Celebration this Thursday April 21st at the Commons from 5 to 8 PM. In this show we briefly touch on some of what she will be sharing in this talk And from there dive into all matters planet Earth! Why do we continue to destroy our beautiful planet? What is the most important planetary sustaining factors to address at the moment? What actions can we take? How are corporations taking advantage of our environmental concerns? What can we learn from our indigenous elders? How can we foster love and compassion for the place that we live? Why is taking care of our planet WAY more complex than just reducing our carbon output? What can plant and animal diversity to for our ecosystems? Is the Earth a living being? Do ecosystems and bodies of water and land have God given rights like us humans do? All these questions and much more will be addressed in this months show :) Because to me this planet, like our very own lives, is a gift from our creator. We are a part of it. And it is a part of us. If we aren’t honoring it then we aren’t honoring any of the countless other beings that inhabit it…including ourselves. And we CERTAINLY aren’t honoring God. Conscious Bro Out!

I am currently at site @ The People’s Convoy in Hagerstown, MD The American Trucker Convoy that launched off from Adelanto, CA on February 23rd en route to Washington D.C. to protest Federal Mandates and help bring an end to the National Emergency Declaration. It has been an amazingly transformational experience. One of the biggest surprises for me here has been the spiritual undercurrent of this movement. There are many people here walking PROFOUND Christian paths in ways I haven’t really seen before. Actually walking the talk. Dialed in Spiritual warriors for Christ. In this show I’ve assembled a panel of 3 individuals in order to give you not just a look inside of the convoy…but also a glimpse of the immense spiritual power that is fueling it. It is absolutely profound and life changing. My guests William Owens, Kevin Guinn, and Justin McAllister will take you on a deep dive of what is burning within them, why they have been called to be here, and what it means to confront darkness in life even when the odds are stacked against you. Regardless of what you believe about mandates and/or religion please suspend all judgement for an hour at least and come get a taste of the SPIRIT behind The People’s Convoy. You will be glad you did :) Conscious Bro Out!

I recently connected with the founder of my favorite media organization on the planet, Joe Martino, creator of “The Pulse”…(formerly known as “Collective Evolution”) to find out what actually happened in Ottawa during the Canadian Trucker Freedom Convoy. They are based out of Canada and had a team stationed in Ottawa for almost the entire protest. The information he shared had me in goosebumps for about half of the show! He shared an inspiring on the ground prospective that couldn’t be any different from the one popularly shared on the mainstream media. I love these guys because they are so well sourced in their articles. They successfully hold a neutral stance in everything that they report. They are balanced and aren’t afraid to call you out regardless what political party you belong to. They are very nuanced in their reporting…and spend a lot of time piecing apart very complex issue with much detail. They look under the surface of our modern systems, call out corruption, and question the status quo… They are 100% crowd funded by their listeners… And finally, they bring a consciousness…meditational element to their reporting. In this show we first dive deep into their “Conscious Media”
 approach… And find out how you can have a transformational experience with your media. Why it’s important to question current structures of power. How personal trauma interacts with our daily media experience…and how this is dividing the world. Why is important to slow down….breathe…and set your pulse before you consume media Why it’s crucial to stay neutral when reporting… And much much more. Then we dissect the Tucker Freedom Convoy piece by piece and uncover an inspiring, infuriating, scary, and uplifting tale unlike anything you’ve heard anywhere else! So if you want the low down on what REALLY happened in  Ottawa over the last month from someone that was ACTUALLY there then join us Sunday @ 1 PM CST on Radio Free Space 91.9 FM WDRT for a refreshing blast of Truth.
