What happens when someone's spiritual experiences don't fit neatly inside a single belief system?

In this episode of Beyond 80%, Ryan sits down with D. Paul—a Navy veteran, Native American holy man, author, and spiritual investigator—to explore a lifetime of experiences that challenged conventional ideas about faith, consciousness, and the unseen world.

D. Paul shares stories of childhood encounters, out-of-body experiences, spiritual warfare, house clearings, and his journey navigating both Native American traditions and Christianity. Along the way, he explains how he views the spirit world, the concept of being a "hollow bone," the relationship between darkness and personal growth, and why he believes spiritual development is ultimately about protecting and strengthening the soul.

Rather than asking listeners to accept his beliefs as fact, the conversation invites a deeper question: how do we make sense of experiences that exist outside our current understanding of reality?
