Governments have spent millions researching what Darius J Wright can do: consciously leave his body and access verifiable non-physical realities.

In this episode, Darius explains how out-of-body experiences work, what he’s seen beyond death, and how we can all tap into this innate ability.

We explore true freedom, soul awareness, and shocking truths buried for centuries...

Align Podcast Episode #579

OUR GUEST

Governments have spent millions in classified programs researching what Darius can do on command: full, conscious separation of the soul from the body, with real-time, verifiable observation of non-physical reality.

This isn’t theory, belief, or remote viewing. It’s a repeatable, teachable experience of what most of the world has only speculated about.

It is accessing where we go after we die, the "other side"—and from there, witnessing the truth of "this" reality.

However, Out-of-Body Experience (OBE) is just the beginning.

What Darius brings goes far beyond altered states. He holds the core knowledge humanity has forgotten: who we are, where we come from, why we are here, why the world appears broken, and how we are restoring it and ourselves.

In a world addicted to diagnosis, Darius is holding the solutions.

Over the last few years, he’s taught thousands how to reach these states, document their experiences, and reconnect to the part of themselves that institutions—religious, scientific, military, and governmental—have worked to suppress.

Ido Portal joins Aaron for a raw, unconventional interview you won’t hear anywhere else.

Together, they’ll explore how tension, ego, and identity live within the body, and how movement can be a powerful path for inner transformation. He and Aaron talk about postural patterns, personality masks, emotional awareness, and how quieting internal "noise" can help reconnect with truth. They also cover breathwork, stillness, and redefining strength through practice, not performance.

OUR GUEST

Ido Portal is a practitioner, teacher, educator, and consultant, working with a transformation and evolution-based approach through the medium of Movement in its various forms—physical, emotional, and mental. Ido is responsible for creating and promoting the worldwide phenomenon called Movement Culture, a modern paradigm shift in how humans perceive physical practices. This approach allows for a potent transfer of knowledge, tools, and methods across disciplines and expands the perception of movement beyond isolated terms like 'Athlete,' 'Dancer,' 'Fighter,' and 'Sports Person.'

Ido's primary focus remains is his own practice, with secondary emphasis on spreading his teachings to an ever-growing community of practitioners worldwide. Over the years, Ido has collaborated with professional athletes from the MLB, NFL, European Champions League soccer teams, as well as actors, dancers, musicians, Olympians, UFC fighters, corporate giants, the film industry, and government bodies.
