Dream Chasers and Eccentrics
Dreams can't be caught unless they are chased, and eccentricity is but a symptom of brilliance. I interview extraordinary people who forge their own path, make their own rules, and live outside the norms of society. Together, we can learn from each other. Remember, foolish people keep making the same mistakes, smart people learn from their mistakes and successes, and extraordinary people learn from the mistakes and successes of both themselves and of others. That is what Dream Chasers and Eccentrics is all about!

Love, Truth, and Fulfillment, Eli Jaxon-Bear

Love, Truth, and Fulfillment, Eli Jaxon-Bear
A life long search for freedom took Eli Jaxon-Bear around the world and into many spiritual traditions from a Zen monastery in Japan to a Sufi circle in Marrakesh, among others. His search ended when he was drawn to India (1990) where he met his final teacher, Sri H.W.L Poonja, lovingly known as Papaji; a direct disciple of the renowned Indian Sage Ramana Maharshi. Confirming Eli’s realization, his teacher sent him back into the world to share his unique psychological insights into the nature of egoic suffering in support of self-realization. Eli infuses his teaching with his teacher’s living transmission of silence and peace. He presents a unique map of egoic identification as a vehicle for ruthless self-inquiry and final realization of true freedom. His life is dedicated to passing on the transmission of his teacher. We talk about resisting the Vietnam war, going underground, living in a commune, growing marijuana, living in a shadow play, LSD, waking up and seeing the truth, psilocybin, facing his own death in an LSD trip, surrendering the ego, searching in India and finding a teacher, realization vs learning, theraputical use of psychadelics, meditation, hypnosis, seeking fulfillment, meeting an enlightened sufi, finding everything you really need, his books, and a lot more. links are on the support the show through

Karma and Frequency, Tina Erwin
After the previous episode with Scott Wells and Tina Erwin, I realized Tina and I had a lot more to talk about. The subject of Karma and Frequency came up and I was intrigued. After learning that she had written a book on this, titled "Karma and Frequency," I scheduled another interview with her, got the book, and read it. One could argue that nothing in life is more important than managing our karma, since it determines our "luck," how much we enjoy life, where we go after we die, and what happens after we die. Tina and I talk about Christianity and Buddhism and how there is no religion in the afterlife, universal truths, the Dalai Lama, Martin Luther, how every person can be their own personal connection to God without intermediaries, the importance of living without the guilt imposed upon followers of some religions, the Urantia Book, predescessor energy, karma, reincarnation, why we shouldn't fear judgement, signs, past lives, the power of thoughts, how to deal with horrible people, surrounding yourself with angels, why angels are standing by waiting for us to ask for their help (they earn karma for helping us), the danger of alcohol and how addiction drops your frequency, how we can improve our karma and raise our frequency, prayer, our ultimate mission here on Earth, and more.

Portals, Ghosts, and the Fourth Dimension, Tina Erwin and Scott Wells
You might remember Tina Erwin from the episode Ghost Helper Tina Erwin April 2024. She is a retired Commander in the US Navy who has had psychic abilities since she was a child. She is now know for helping ghosts, who she explains are souls trapped on Earth, pass on to Heaven. After last week’s interview with Scott Wells where we discussed his Ouija Board experience and his book "Marked by the Ouija," I thought I should have them on together to gain some more insight into ghosts, Ouija boards, and Scott’s experience. What follows is a discussion between the three of us, and it’s mostly Tina and Scott discussing what happened (in the story he told in the previous episode) and why and who the ghost might have been, and the dangers of Ouija Boards and Tarot cards and other portals. It is truly a fascinating conversation, so open your mind and prepare to take in some knowledge from another side of reality. We talk about Ouija Boards and what they are, Scott's story from last week's episode, who Peter (the ghost in Scott's story) might have been, how ghosts gain influence over people, how the Ouija Board represents a portal to the dark side, how to properly destroy a Ouija Board or Tarot Cards, the Crossing Over Prayer, who the perpetrator might have been, how time works on the other side, sage, frequency, string theory, how to raise our frequency, karma, the importance of service to others and relieving suffering, and more.

A Terrifying Ouija Board Experience, Scott Wells, Marked by the Ouija
Scott grew up in a small town in Idaho. When he was 16 years old, he bought a Ouija board. His friends got to it before he did, and while he was at work, they had an experience so terifying that they burned the board. This is just the beginning of a story so enthralling and scary that I got goosebumps several times during the interview. The book, "Marked by the Ouija," is based on this experience. I also scheduled another interview with Scott in conjunction with Tina Erwin, the "ghost helper," who I interviewed on this podcast 4/18/2024 (), which will be on the show next week (if all goes as planned). I'm expecting that Tina will have some valuable insights into Scott's experience with the Ouija board and the ghost he and his friends interacted with. This is a fascinating and eye-opening interview, however, it's a bit scary and might be unnerving. Scott stressed that the Ouija board is real and it's not a toy. He has developed a set of rules or protocol for safe use of the board. Using the Ouija contrary to the protocol, he says, leads to a negative experience which can include a spirit atttaching itself to your life. Scott also invites anyone who has had a Ouija Board experience Enjoy! Links are on the Support the show through
