#113 The Ancient Wisdom of The Tarot with Marv Machura
In episode #113 our guest is Marn Machura, he is a musician, a practicing psychic and author of The Five Card Pentagram Tarot. In this episode, ww talk about how he views The Tarot as the book of ancient wisdom of our humanity and as a guide to our future. What we observed: The Tarot can be seen as a book of ancient wisdom hidden in plain sight The regular card deck is a child of the full-blown tarot deck This ancient wisdom is written in symbols and presented in numbers that are part of sacred writings in code as we can still see in the Kaballah Many musicians are more psychic than the average person because they are more attuned (especially songwriters) to the metaphysical vibrations that are expressed in music energy. How a Tarot reading is conducted He reads the card according to what he sees psychically and what the card represents metaphysically Playing with Tarot cards is not recommended for recreational use The difference between  Tarot card and mediumship readings There are 22 cards in the spiritual journey that start with the joker and go all the way up to the universe There are different layouts for different questions, including past lives the present, and far future The secret societies existed to withhold information from people who would use it for the wrong purpose For more info  :https://universe-pyschic.com/  More episodes on www.closertovenus.com

What we observed: One of her early memories was of astral projection when she was a child During  a  horseback therapy program with disabled kids she “heard”  a nonverbal child speak  Everyone has psychic abilities, they are not gifts Her original goal was to do animal communication How she believes when people die, all of their negativity gets shed off and left behind in the earthly realm when people die, all of their negativity gets shed off and left behind in the earthly realm Negative energy or the residual energy that is left behind apparently causes hauntings The negative messages that come through during her readings come from spirit guides What things mediums can misinterpret She never gets messages from angels Why she calls her spirit guides ‘eye rollers” A theory of how we are connected to our guides, our higher self, and to the other side When people are reactive to something they hear or see, they often get triggered because of a past life issue How she” has coffee “every day with her mom- who passed 4 years ago. How she  sees Jesus as a master healer, not “our lord and savior” Examples of evidential information from the deceased in her readings Terri appears in the Peacock series "Paul T Goldman" For more info: https://terrijay.com/ More episodes on www.closertovenus.com

#100 Who Are The Elders with Robyn Locke
  In episode#100, our guest is Robyn Locke, an energy-intuitive, author and international speaker. Today we are going to talk about her latest book” The Greater Purpose”, the bridge between the physical and non-physical world, and The Elders. What we can learn: The majority of  Elders are those that have not  embodied and have a 360 view of life without the constraints of the ego and mind The Elders apparently came here on a mission to help us remember when they heard about spiritual essence being trapped in human form  The remembering within humanity was especially important for those who  had been incarnating for quite a long time Spritual Essence apparently learned that there are things you could understand on Earth that you could not understand while in spiritual form The rounds of reincarnation will supposedly continue until we satisfy the agreement that we entered into to incarnate here The Elders have shared we had a higher evolution that has devolved  and now is evolving in a higher way now, but not  anywhere near the higher evolution that we once were These beings apparently do not recognize time Your belief system travels with you to that in between transitory time according to the Elders If we accept karma as atonement for past indiscretions, we will be reincarnating for a very long time For more info: www. advancedenergetics.org.

#99 Explore Your Inner World with Plant Medicine
In episode #99, our guest is Jonathan de Potter, the Founder of Behold Retreats, which facilitates life-changing plant medicine journeys to explore your inner world, discover your truth, and live to your full potential. What we discuss: Plant medicines can help us reconnect with ourselves by amplifying our sensitivity.  How an Ayahuasca plant medicine retreat proved to be a transformational experience This experience caused a shift from being a devout atheist to “blowing the door off the hinges into the spiritual world” Behold Retreats has  people who are medicine facilitators as well as people who  would be described as shamans, energy healers, and lightworkers There's actually not much of an overlap between those who have developed their own energetic capacities in the metaphysical realm and those who actually work with plant medicine Plant medicine is a tool that can accelerate the Ascension process Common misconceptions about Plant Medicine, especially the myth that Plant medicine will solve your problems Vipassana Meditation Retreats For More Info: wwww.behold-retreats.com More episodes on www.closertovenus.com
