David Strickel | The Stream

After nine years, David is retiring from channeling and bringing the podcast to a close. In this last conversation, Matt joins David for an unhurried look back — on creation, the Tya Practice, and the long arc of channeling and coaching that carried the work from the first episode to this one. 

No agenda, just two friends closing the loop. 

Thank you for listening.

In this expansive episode of The Tya Academy Podcast, Matt Gardan joins David for a deep conversation inspired by a recent Transmission Live session discussing consciousness, reincarnation, manifestation, AI, the future of humanity, and the evolving nature of reality itself.

Together, they unpack one of the most profound concepts shared by The Stream: the “eternal stack” of consciousness — the idea that every lifetime and energetic experience exists simultaneously while continuously evolving into more sophisticated versions of itself.

The discussion explores:

•  Consciousness beyond physical death 
•  Reincarnation vs. eternal existence 
•  The meaning of déjà vu 
•  Manifestation through omniappreciation 
•  AI, robotics, and the future of human society 
•  Why humanity may be moving beyond labor-based systems 
•  The energetic nature of money and exchange 
•  How appreciation transforms your experience of reality 
•  The role of contrast in expansion 
•  Conscious creation during times of massive change 

David and Matt also dive into the energetic shifts occurring globally, the disruption of traditional systems, and why this period in human history may be one of the most transformational eras humanity has ever experienced.

This episode blends spirituality, philosophy, consciousness studies, manifestation, technology, and practical energetic wisdom into a conversation designed to expand perspective and inspire deeper awareness.

If you’ve ever questioned reality, consciousness, manifestation, or where humanity is headed next, this episode is for you.

In this powerful and deeply honest episode of The Tya Podcast, David sits down with Ajit, a recent graduate of High Stakes Change, for a real-time exploration of transformation, awareness, and personal power.

Ajit shares what it actually looks like to live the Tya teachings in the real world—not from theory, but in the middle of a current health challenge, emotional triggers, and old patterns resurfacing. What unfolds is one of the most relatable conversations on the gap between knowing and applying spiritual truth.

They dive into:

•  Why simple truths feel so hard to live in real life 
•  The concept of DTS (Down the Spiral) and how to move out of it faster 
•  The “seductive pull” of negativity—and why we choose it even when we know better 
•  A breakthrough idea: there is a real cost to being upset—and most people don’t see it
•  The untapped healing power available to all of us (that almost no one uses) 
•  How fear, judgment, and even mainstream narratives condition us to give away our power
•  Why appreciation isn’t just a mindset—but a mechanism for transformation

Ajit also shares how his perception of joy, success, and even everyday life has shifted—from chasing outcomes to finding deep fulfillment in the smallest moments.

This episode isn’t about being perfect.
 It’s about becoming aware. 

And once you see it—you can’t unsee it.

Tya Intention Coach Matt Gardan returns to unpack the latest Stream transmission—what was offered, how it landed, and what it means to actually allow what you want to manifest rather than chase it. 

Matt opens the episode with a live intention session before the conversation begins. One of the most practical episodes we’ve recorded.

Celebrating Janet Young, our final coaching program graduate.

Janet was a wonderful student to close out my coaching era. Chill, fun, and fearless.  You’ll love her story and the time we spent laughing in this episode.

The old systems are cracking. Religion, government, currency, employment — none of it is holding the way it used to. And for a lot of people, the response is either blind loyalty to a collapsing structure or free-falling into a philosophical wilderness with nothing underneath them.

This episode is about neither of those options.

David explores what’s actually happening as the matrix contracts — why polarity is intensifying, why AI and robotics are accelerating a shift unlike anything in recorded history, and why the people who built their lives on external structures are the most exposed right now.

More importantly, he talks about what holds. Not as a comfort. As a framework.

Your belief system is your operating system. If you inherited it from religion, government, or the culture you were born into and never rebuilt it from the ground up — this is the moment that gets exposed.

The Stream has been addressing this directly in the live transmissions. That’s where the real navigation work happens. This episode is the entry point.

Andrea Saint Amand returns to share the release of her book Ghost Light: A Rogue’s Guide on How to Break the Rules and Follow Your Inner Knowing, including a recent creative writing award and what the process taught her about writing for her people instead of writing for approval.

We talk deadlines, emotional impact, burnout and recovery, and how a practice matures when you stop trying to make it palatable to the Matrix. We also explore boundaries, live events, and what it looks like to keep your output clean, coherent, and sustainable over time.

This episode marks a return.

After a nearly year-long pause, David resumes Trance channeling Source and steps fully away from coaching, persuasion, and performance-based spirituality.

What’s shared here is not teaching, motivation, or a method.
It’s a clear articulation of what channeling is, why it was set aside, and why it has now become central again.

You’ll hear:
 • Why imperfection is not a flaw but a requirement of creation
 • Why stress is a feature of consciousness, not something to transcend
 • Why most spirituality collapses under the pressure of needing to persuade
 • And why clarity only returns when explanation is no longer required

This is not an introduction and not an invitation.
It’s an orientation.

If you’ve felt the exhaustion of fixing, striving, or signaling insight, this conversation will resonate.

The world feels louder, more polarized, and more volatile than ever.

Fear, outrage, and judgment are no longer side effects of modern life. They are the fuel.

In this episode, David Strickel explores why chaos isn’t new, why polarization is profitable, and how attention has quietly become the most valuable currency in the world.

Rather than taking sides, collapsing into cynicism, or pretending nothing is happening, this conversation points to a different option: understanding without reaction.

This is not about fixing the world.

It’s not about optimism or denial.

And it’s not about withdrawing from reality.

It’s about seeing clearly how the Matrix operates, why it feeds on emotional reactivity, and how sovereignty begins the moment you stop supplying energy to what you don’t want more of.

Tya is not a belief system.

It’s an operating system for clarity, emotional mastery, and internal stability inside an increasingly reactive world.

Attention is the most valuable currency of our time, and most people are spending it without realizing the cost.

In this episode of The Tya Podcast, David explores what sovereignty actually requires in an attention economy engineered to pull you away from yourself. 

From chaos in the world to the constant pressure on your focus, identity, and nervous system, this conversation cuts through surface-level commentary and points directly to what it means to remain internally self-governed.

This is not about escaping the world.

It’s about operating consciously within it.

If you’ve felt scattered, reactive, or overwhelmed by the current environment, this episode offers a grounded reorientation back to sovereignty.
