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

Most people think their pets just want food, walks, or belly rubs. Alicia Sweezer says they’re doing far more than that; they’re guiding your spiritual awakening.  In this eye-opening conversation with intuitive guide and professional animal communicator Alicia Sweezer, we uncover how deeply our animals understand us, mirror us, and even help us evolve emotionally, energetically, and spiritually. If you’ve ever wondered whether your pet takes on your emotions, reacts to your stress, senses your awakening, or sends you intuitive messages… this episode will confirm far more than you expect. Alicia breaks down how pets communicate across dimensions, how they stay connected to universal consciousness, and how their behavior often reveals what’s unresolved in us...from emotional regulation to intuition development to resisting our soul purpose.  Animals don’t lose their connection to 5D consciousness. We do. And according to Alicia… they’re trying to help us get it back.IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN: 🐾 How Animals Mirror Your Energy & Emotional State Why your pet’s anxiety, reactivity, or odd behaviors often reflect hidden emotional or spiritual misalignment within you.  🐾 Are Pets Empaths? Do They Absorb Your Illness or Stress? Alicia explains why pets sometimes take on their human’s energetic “stuff”, and how to stop it before it becomes physical.  🐾 Soul Purpose, Soul Contracts & What Your Pet Chose Before Incarnating Yes, your animals choose you, and choose how long they stay. Their “assignment” may surprise you.  🐾 The Truth About Animal Intuition & Spiritual Intelligence Animals never disconnect from universal energy. Humans do. Alicia explains the bridge between the two.  🐾 How to Tell When Your Pet Is Sending You Messages What signs to look for, how to interpret them, and how to avoid confusing imagination with real intuitive communication.  🐾 How to Start Communicating with Your Pets (Even if You Think You Can’t) Alicia shares the foundational skill every person needs for intuitive communication, and how to discover your strongest “clair.”  🐾 What Happens After Pets Cross Over (and How They Visit You) From subtle signs to unmistakable “calls,” Alicia breaks down how animals communicate from beyond.  🐾 Why Your Pet Might Be Giving You Spiritual Homework No, really. And it might be exactly what your journey needs next. KEY THEMESThis episode dives into:• Spiritual Awakening through the lens of animal consciousness• Animal intuition & intuition development• Pets mirroring human energy healing needs• Animal experiences of life after death• What pets know about consciousness• Soul contracts, reincarnation, and soul purpose• How animals guide our spiritual growth• Pets as unexpected spirit guides• A modern, grounded approach to modern spiritualityWHY THIS EPISODE MATTERS If you’re on a spiritual awakening journey, you’re probably searching for clarity, guidance, and support from teachers, books, or meditation practices. What if one of your greatest spiritual teachers has been sitting on your couch this whole time?

For years, we were told that the secret to spiritual awakening was simple: stay positive, think high-vibe thoughts, avoid negativity, and manifest harder. But what if that entire framework is backwards? What if the real catalyst for consciousness expansion isn’t escaping low vibration...but using it? In this solo episode, Will cracks open the myth of “high vibes only” and exposes why so many seekers feel stuck, frustrated, or inconsistent in their manifestation progress. Drawing from a raw, paradigm-shifting conversation with spiritual teacher David Strickel, this episode reframes low vibration—not as failure, but as the entry point to real transformation. If you’ve been trying to “stay positive” your way out of discomfort, suppress your shadow, or force your way into alignment, what you’ll hear today may just save you years of spiritual wheel-spinning.What You’ll Learn in This Episode • Why ‘High Vibes Only’ Actually Blocks Spiritual Growth Will breaks down how bypassing your shadow stalls true spiritual awakening and stops manifestation at the root. • The Spiral, Not the Ladder Your awakening doesn’t ascend in a straight line. It winds up, down, and inward. Understanding this model can instantly remove years of self-judgment. • The Hidden Beliefs That Sabotage Manifestation Most people don’t manifest because they’re sending a signal of need, not alignment. Will exposes how fear masquerades as desire, and shuts the door on abundance. • Detuning vs Letting Go David Strickel’s groundbreaking concept of detuning shows you how to dissolve emotional charge without bypassing, sugarcoating, or faking forgiveness. • Why Low Vibration Is Not a Problem—It’s a Message Fear, grief, anger, anxiety...these aren’t spiritual failures. They’re invitations to examine the subconscious patterns shaping your reality.The Three-Step Framework for Real Integration A grounded, practical method to use immediately...no woo-only fluff, no 90-day shadow-bootcamps necessary:Recognize When You’re “Down the Spiral” Stop mislabeling discomfort as failure; start seeing it as a signal.Go Into the Basement Your subconscious has boxes you’ve never opened. Will guides you through how to begin...safely, intentionally, and without overwhelm.Detune Through Appreciation Not toxic positivity. Not forced affirmations. Appreciation is the only emotional state that dissolves resistance without repression.Why This Episode Matters Right Now Spiritual seekers are burned out on polished, performative modern spirituality that denies half the human experience. This episode offers a grounded alternative, one rooted in intuition development, emotional honesty, and the true mechanics behind manifestation. If you’ve ever wondered:Why does my shadow keep resurfacing?Why does manifestation work one week and collapse the next?Why do positive thoughts feel like a band-aid instead of transformation?Why do I feel worse the more I try to “stay high vibe”?…then what Will shares here will land like a breakthrough.Perfect For Listeners Interested In:Spiritual AwakeningManifestation (minus the clichés)Intuition DevelopmentEnergy Healing & Emotional RegulationShadow Work that Actually WorksSoul Purpose & Consciousness ExplorationModern Spirituality Without BypassingLife After Death Concepts & Higher Perspective ThinkingNear-Death Experience-inspired frameworksSpirit Guides & Inner Dialogue with the ShadowsIf This Episode Hit Hard… Share it with someone who’s tired of performative positivity and ready for real transformation.

What if the very emotions you’ve been trying to escape are the key to your spiritual awakening, your manifestation power, and your deepest soul purpose? Today’s episode challenges the entire “high-vibe only” culture in modern spirituality. Our guest, David Strickel, creator of the Tya Practice (Trust Your Abundance), says we’ve been trying to skip the most transformative part of consciousness work: the shadow, the grief, the anger, the frustration...those “low-vibe” frequencies we love to avoid. Instead of bypassing them, he teaches us how to leverage low vibration as fuel, how to turn trauma into clarity, and how to raise our default frequency by wrestling the dragon instead of pretending it’s not there.Inside This Brave Conversation You’ll learn: Why avoiding “low-vibration emotions” prevents true spiritual growthHow manifestation fails when you activate the vibration of need instead of creationThe difference between acceptance, surrender, and authentic appreciationHow trauma and adversity expand consciousness instead of limiting itWhy abundance starts in early childhood belief systemsThe real reason “positive thinking” stops working And yes, we talk about how to stop bypassing, how to dismantle victimhood without shame, and how to do the work without losing yourself.Most Mind-Bending Takeaways:💡 Low vibration is not the enemy. It’s the teacher. It’s the doorway into sovereignty. When we avoid it, we stay stuck. When we explore it, we evolve. 💡 Manifestation doesn’t respond to desperation. You must shift into the frequency of “Wouldn’t it be nice…” instead of “I need this to happen.” 💡 Your early subconscious programming IS your life. The blocks that shape your success, money, health, or relationships can ALWAYS be traced back to your foundational belief system. If you don’t detune it, you’ll repeat it. 💡 Appreciation heals more than acceptance. Acceptance says, “I’ll tolerate this.” Appreciation says, “This experience expanded me.” That tiny shift changes everything. A Moment You Won’t Forget David worked with a mother whose son was murdered. The work helped her find true, authentic appreciation for the experience...not joy, not denial, but a liberated perspective that freed her from lifelong suffering. This is transformation without spiritual fluff; raw, uncomfortable, and radically empowering.Who Should Listen? This episode is for anyone who has: ✔ Tried “positive thinking” and failed✔ Been blocked in their manifestation despite doing all the things✔ Experienced trauma and wants liberation—not denial✔ Felt disconnected from mainstream spiritual teachers✔ Wanted practical and grounded spiritual awakening, not fairy dustAbout Today’s Guest David Strickel is a spiritual teacher, channel, and founder of the Tya Practice, a belief system based on channeled Source consciousness known as the Stream. He teaches high-performing seekers how to exit the matrix by detuning subconscious blocks, transforming polarity, and cultivating authentic liberation, not perfection. Website: TYAAcademy.comListen to David’s Podcast: The Tya PodcastLike What You Heard?

Is Earth literally waking up? Not in a poetic, mystical sense, but in a real, scientific, and possibly terrifying way. In this mind-bending episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, we dive into one of the most provocative conversations we’ve ever hosted: the possibility that the Earth is evolving into a planetary superconsciousness, powered by artificial intelligence, fiber-optic nerve systems, and global institutions acting as synapses in a technological brain. Our guest, Topher McDougal, is not your typical spiritual thinker. He’s a Professor of Economic Development & Peacebuilding at the University of San Diego’s Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies and the author of the forthcoming book Gaia Wakes: Earth’s Emergent Consciousness in an Age of Environmental Devastation (May 2025). McDougal introduces the Gaiacephalos Hypothesis, a theory that makes the Gaia Hypothesis look tame by comparison. He argues that the Earth isn’t just a self-regulating system, it’s on track to become literally conscious, thanks to the explosive growth of AI, global infrastructure, and what he calls the technosphere. In This Episode:What is the Gaiacephalos Hypothesis, and how does it extend the Gaia theory?How AI, machine learning, and planetary infrastructure are forming a neural network across the globeThe connection between environmental collapse and evolutionary upgradesCould the Earth eventually think, feel, or even act as an entity?Are we building a planetary cybernetic organism, and if so, who’s in control?The parallels between biological evolution, planetary systems, and emergent intelligenceWhat we can learn from Black Mirror, cybernetics, and quantum consciousnessThe role of humanity: are we creators, neurons… or expendable?This episode is not science fiction. It’s a serious, fascinating exploration of what happens when AI, energy systems, and environmental pressure converge on a planetary scale. Whether you’re into mysticism, metaphysical science, spiritual awakening, or consciousness expansion, this is a conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about the future of Earth, and our place within it.Guest Info: Topher McDougal Website: TopherMcDougal.comBook (pre-order): Gaia Wakes – Columbia University Press (May 2025)Subscribe, Rate & Review!

Most people think they know what the Hare Krishna movement is, until they actually speak with a monk living the lifestyle. In this eye-opening conversation recorded at Spirit Fest USA, we sit down with Jadardana Krishna Das, a modern monk who breaks down the truth behind one of the world’s most misunderstood spiritual traditions. If you’ve ever wondered what the robes mean, why monks shave their heads, what Krishna Consciousness actually teaches, or whether the Bhagavad Gita has anything to offer someone who isn’t Hindu…this episode will challenge your assumptions and force you to see spiritual awakening in a completely different light. This isn’t dogma. This isn’t recruitment. This is practical mind-training, ancient consciousness science, and a path toward inner clarity that anyone, any faith, any background, can explore. What You’ll Learn in This Episode:✔ What the Hare Krishna movement really teaches Not the stereotypes. Not the assumptions. The actual mission: raising consciousness, reconnecting with the soul, and empowering people from any background to develop a spiritual foundation. ✔ The surprising truth about the Bhagavad Gita It’s not a “Hindu book.” It predates Hinduism and Buddhism and offers universal teachings on the mind, the self, and the battlefield within.  ✔ Why monks shave their heads & wear orange robes Purification, simplicity, detachment, spiritual focus, and yes, hygiene. The symbolic meaning goes far deeper than most people realize.  ✔ What the forehead markings really represent Not decoration...purification, protection, and identity within a specific philosophical lineage.  ✔ Are Hare Krishnas trying to convert people? Short answer: no. Long answer: this episode explains why the movement focuses on knowledge, not recruitment.  ✔ How chanting really works Why anyone, child or adult, any religion or none, can chant Hare Krishna and experience its effects anytime, anywhere.  ✔ The monk’s personal journey From sports, movies, and a secular upbringing…to a life-changing realization in college that led him to choose a life of spiritual training. Why This Conversation Matters:This isn’t a fringe movement. This is one of the oldest consciousness-expansion systems on Earth. And it speaks directly to the problems modern seekers face:mental overwhelmlack of meaningdisconnection from selfthe inner “battlefield” the Gita describes so wellthe pressure of material lifethe desire for spiritual grounding without dogmaJadardana shows how these teachings are not about escaping life...they’re about engaging with it from a higher state of awareness.Resources Mentioned:• Bhagavad Gita As It Is The recommended version with Sanskrit, translation, and commentary used in the Hare Krishna tradition. Available online, in libraries, and in print.  • Local Hare Krishna Temples & Centers Found in most major cities.

What happens when your entire relationship with money, worthiness, and abundance is built on stories you absorbed before you were old enough to understand them? And what if those stories are the very things keeping you stuck, small, and spiritually exhausted? In this powerful, hilarious, and deeply human conversation, we sit down with Sarah Walton... speaker, teacher, money mentor, and creator of The Abundance Academy...to dismantle the myths that keep so many of us living on emotional and financial crumbs. Sarah’s journey begins in a grocery store in Utah, where teenage Sarah realizes she must choose between her family’s survival and her own dreams. That moment shapes decades of decisions, right up until she’s a high-powered corporate executive with a corner office, a ficus tree, two kids she barely sees… and a constant sense that something is deeply off. Her story is raw, relatable, and a wake-up call for anyone who has ever believed “I can’t have both,” “there’s not enough,” or “wanting more makes me selfish.” In This Episode, We Explore: 1. The Three Money Myths Holding You Back Borrowed from Lynn Twist’s The Soul of Money, and expanded through Sarah’s teaching:Myth #1: There’s Not Enough — The scarcity mindset that keeps us hoarding, shrinking, and apologizing for wanting more.Myth #2: More Is Better — The endless treadmill of “just one more digit,” and why it never creates fulfillment.Myth #3: That’s Just the Way It Is — The resignation that kills change before it starts… and repeats the same life over and over.2. Sarah’s Grocery Store Origin Story How a moment in high school shaped her entire belief system, and how she ultimately broke free after realizing her life was being run by a terrified 16-year-old. 3. The Corporate Career Wake-Up Call The ficus tree. The Jimmy Choos. The constant nausea. The toddler calling her at work. The ticking clock she couldn’t un-hear. And the moment she quit her job that same day. 4. How to Stop Living on Crumbs Sarah explains how to recognize when you’re accepting far less than you deserve... emotionally, energetically, financially — and how to shift into true agency and abundance. 5. The Exercises That Rewire Your Brain Accessible, free, science-backed practices that change your inner chemistry and create real momentum toward your goals. 6. A Baymax-Shaped Money Spiritual Guide?? Yes. And honestly… it’s perfect. Sarah shares how she personifies money as a loving, warm, always-present protector inspired by Big Hero 6, and why that exercise changed her life. 7. Curveball Questions — Sarah Walton Edition You know we had to. Sarah reveals:The one push notification she’d send to every phone on EarthThe sassiest loving advice she’d whisper to the worldAnd who money would be as a movie character...complete with monologueKey TakeawaysMost people’s money fears come from childhood, but adulthood offers the chance to rewrite the script.Wanting more doesn’t make you greedy; it makes you honest.You don’t need millions of followers, you just need the right “small but mighty” group who values your work.Awareness is the first step to freedom, especially when it comes to money.It is dangerous, spiritually, emotionally, financially, to believe “this is just the way things are.”Tools, Links & Resources Mentioned Sarah Walton’s Website https://sarahwalton.com Includes her free Freedom Calculator - a PDF that helps you determine your personal financial freedom number and start moving toward it with clarity and purpose. Game On Girlfriend Podcast - Sarah’s show YouTube Channel - More teachings, stories, and money-myth busting. 🔥 Final Thought This episode is a call to stop negotiating with scarcity, stop apologizing for wanting more, and stop accepting crumbs when you were born to own the bakery.Subscribe, Rate & Review!

Most people crumble the second someone hurls an insult their way. You, me, everyone. But this short episode throws a Zen-sized wrench into that reaction with one of the simplest, hardest truths in spiritual awakening: You only suffer when you accept the insult that was handed to you. Will reads “The Gift of Insults,” a powerful parable from The Monk and the Butterfly that reveals why your peace isn’t actually as fragile as you think...it’s just mismanaged. And then he goes off-script into a raw, honest reflection on triggers, the pain-body, energy dynamics, and why letting people “take your peace” is a decision… not an inevitability. This is one of those deceptively small episodes that lands like a tuning fork in your chest. What You’ll LearnWhy insults are “gifts”, and how not accepting them changes everythingHow your pain-body hijacks your reactions (thanks, Eckhart Tolle)Why people try to steal your energy, and how offering it freely disarms themA practical approach to staying grounded when someone comes at you sidewaysHow triggers point to deeper inner work you’ve been avoidingWhy protecting your peace is a skill… and one you probably haven’t mastered yeWill digs into:How this same lesson plays out with his daughterWhen “not accepting the gift” becomes spiritual bypassingWhy understanding the energetics behind conflict changes how you handle itHow to stop giving away your power without becoming cold, detached, or numbWhy This Matters If you’re on a spiritual path, you’re going to be challenged, often by the exact people who know how to push your buttons. This episode gives you the framework to stop getting dragged around by other people’s emotional chaos. It’s not about perfection. It’s about awareness. Control. Choice. Perfect For You If:You’re tired of absorbing other people’s crapYou react too quickly and regret itYou’re working on boundaries or emotional intelligenceYou’re ready to level up your spiritual resilienceWant to Support the Show?

What if the voices guiding you toward your highest good have been there all along...you just needed to learn how to listen? In this transformative conversation, channeling expert Stephanie Banks reveals how she communicates with spirit guides, Mother Earth, beloved pets, and even the souls of the living to access profound wisdom that transcends the everyday noise of modern life.Stephanie's journey into channeling began when dementia prevented traditional communication with her mother, leading her to connect soul to soul instead. What started as personal necessity evolved into a profound practice of translating messages from trees, animals, the entire planet, and human souls, both living and passed.This episode offers a masterclass in spiritual awakening through the art of receptivity and demonstrates that everyone possesses channeling abilities waiting to be developed.Discover how consciousness expands when we quiet the mental chatter and create space for divine communication. Stephanie explains that channeling isn't reserved for those born with special gifts, it's a learnable skill that requires curiosity, openness, and the willingness to "get out of your own way."Through stories of communicating with neglected plants that suddenly thrived when acknowledged, cardinals carrying messages from departed loved ones, and the urgent whispers from Gaia herself, this conversation illuminates how deeply interconnected we are with all living beings.The discussion explores practical pathways to intuition development, including meditation practices, dream channeling techniques, and the art of "earthing"; standing barefoot on the ground to release heavy energy and draw in universal love. Stephanie addresses the modern challenges of maintaining spiritual connection amid constant digital distraction, offering actionable strategies for reclaiming presence and accessing the guidance that surrounds us.In a powerful live demonstration, Stephanie channels Karen's spirit guides of health and Will's daughter's soul, delivering messages filled with specific insights, humor, and profound wisdom. These channeled communications reveal how souls speak only from places of unconditional love, offering guidance that helps us become better partners, parents, and versions of ourselves.The episode concludes with accessible steps for anyone ready to begin their own channeling journey, reminding us that the most profound spiritual growth often happens in our most challenging relationships.Key Topics Covered:How Stephanie discovered her channeling abilities through soul-to-soul communication with her mother who had dementiaThe difference between making something up and accessing genuine channeled information through imaginationPractical techniques for connecting with Gaia, trees, animals, and other nature beingsWhy souls communicate only from places of unconditional love and fifth-dimensional consciousnessThe phenomenon of receiving messages through cardinals and other animals as conduits to departed loved onesHow to begin channeling during sleep through ancestor communication and dream guidanceStrategies for overcoming digital addiction and creating space for spiritual receptivityThe importance of "earthing" for releasing dense energy and connecting with planetary frequencyLive channeling demonstrations with specific guidance from spirit guides and living soulsUnderstanding that everyone is already channeling, we just need to recognize and develop itWhat You'll Learn:Why channeling requires getting into your imagination rather than avoiding itThe three-part checklist spirit guides offer for maintaining optimal physical health and presenceHow announcing intentions to loved ones creates powerful accountability for spiritual practiceThe specific ways to communicate with plants as empathic beings with needs and messagesWhy meditation doesn't need to be perfect to support clear channeling abilitiesHow to set vibrational boundaries that only allow high-frequency entities throughThe role of curiosity and openness versus innate talent in developing channeling skillsPractical methods for identifying when messages come from authentic spiritual sourcesHow children's souls communicate differently than their everyday personalitiesWays to incorporate wonder and awe into daily life as forms of spiritual connectionConnect with Stephanie Banks:Website: SoulInsight.comFacebook: @stephanieintuitivechannelInstagram: @stephanieIntuitivechannelYouTube: @SoulInsight-StephanieBanksIf this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who might benefit from learning they already possess the ability to access divine guidance.

Ever wonder what happens when the next generation wakes up before we do? At Spirit Fest USA, we sat down with Kris Owsley, founder of Lightworkers United Training Academy, to talk about how she’s helping kids...and adults...embrace their gifts, manage energetic overload, and step fully into their purpose as healers in a world that desperately needs them. This one hit home for us in a big way. Our own 14-year-old joined us off-camera during the interview, and what unfolded was a powerful, real-time teaching moment about how kids today are feeling everything; the energy, the emotions, the collective chaos, and don’t always know what to do with it. Kris broke it all down in a way that’s both practical and profound: How to help kids recognize when the “bad vibes” they’re feeling aren’t theirs.Why our words literally program our reality (and how to stop accidentally affirming what we don’t want).How to protect your energy from “poison darts” being thrown by others.The quick “reset” technique that instantly raises your vibration.And why two simple words—“I AM”—might just be the key to reconnecting with Source itself.This conversation goes from parenting to planetary healing, from teenage angst to ascension, and it might just reframe the way you think about energy hygiene forever. As Kris puts it, “Everyone’s gifts are awakening globally. Our job now is to teach the young ones how to use them.” Episode HighlightsWhat happens when kids come in already tuned into higher frequenciesHow lower vibrational environments affect emotional healthWhy gratitude is the fastest “vibe shifter” there isThe truth about mindset and the energy behind the words “I am…”How Kris is building an international academy to train future healers (with multilingual video translations!)Why healing others starts with mastering your own vibrationConnect with Kris Owsley Follow Kris (Kristen Terrell Owsley) everywhere: Instagram(https://www.instagram.com/kristenterrellowsley), Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/kristenterrellowsley1111), or join her global community One Tribe Noname' I Am, a space for lightworkers to unite, learn, and grow together. Website: https://kristenterrellowsley.com/This episode is equal parts heart, humor, and healing. Whether you’re raising an empathic teen, learning to protect your own energy, or just trying to figure out why you feel drained after being around certain people, this one’s for you. Trust me… after this conversation, you’ll never use the words “I am” the same way again. Subscribe, Rate & Review!
