42. Study The Past To Decode The Future with Robert Edward Grant

Remember that major cliff-hanger in Part 1 of Why Isn’t Everyone Reconnecting with Nature? Well, get ready. Because here is Part 2 of the very special episode with Dr. Zach Bush.

Zach is a physician, thought-leader and founded *Seraphic Group and the nonprofit Farmer’s Footprint to develop root-cause solutions for human and ecological health.

In this episode, Zach shares how the Gospel Mary became a massive revolution in this life. Not only did it give him a deep understanding of how we are reaching outside of ourselves to experience love, but when he found her energy field on his pilgrimage, he experienced such intense grief, that it almost tore him apart.

Zach's experience as a doctor has shown him that there is infinite awareness of our own beauty in the eyes of not only a newborn baby, but also in the eyes of someone who passed death and came back. He explains how the whole human journey is split by the ego, because we are simply afraid to allow the masculine and feminine to combine within ourselves.

Our favorite takeaway of this episode?
"I am the masculine feminine. I am the expression of every intelligence on this planet within the Universe. And if I will just surrender to that for a second and stop reaching outside of myself and come back inside myself. That's an orgasmic state of living". 

We recommend listening until the very end as Zach shares a prayer for humanity and the planet that will have you weeping with hope and possibility.

If you loved these two episodes, be sure to share them with your friends and family, so more people can unlock the keys and codes to free their souls.
