"The trail is my teacher. My path is clear when I am out there" - Rebecca Rusch



When I saw Rebecca Rusch's Emmy-winning film, Blood Road, -about her trip to be the first person to ride the entire 1,200-mile length of the Ho Chi Minh Trail - I instantly felt connected to her, because of my time spend living in Vietnam and Laos, and because of the full spectrum of emotions she goes through on this trip, which is a quest to find the place her father's plane was shot down in the Vietnam war. This interview will go deep in to that journey and many of the other experiences that have made Rebecca an adventure and cycling hall of famer.



Rebecca Rusch is the “Queen of Pain” with a heart of gold. Whether she is on a cycling expedition in a remote part of the world or teaching others at her namesake gravel bike academy in Idaho, she inspires people to be their best with energy, positivity and passion. 



A 7x-world champion and celebrity in the ultra adventure/endurance realm for nearly 3 decades, elected to the prestigious international Mountain Bike Hall Of Fame, her status as a fierce competitor and inclusive influencer motivates millions. Recognized by Outside Magazine among the Top 40 Women Who’ve Made the Biggest Impact, and by Men’s Journal with the 25 Most Adventurous Women, she’s a maverick characterized by her grit, determination, and perseverance. 



Known for seeking the toughest challenges imaginable, pushing herself into unknown territory has yielded Rebecca a first female ascent on Yosemite’s 3000-ft. El Capitan Bermuda Dunes route, a first descent river boarding 300 miles of the entire Grand Canyon in 18 winter days.



On two wheels, she is the only female competitor to win the iconic Leadville 100 four times and has won the renowned Unbound gravel grinder in 6 of 7 attempts (including the notoriously demanding 350-mile XL). She is a two time, first female finisher at the Iditarod Trail Invitational, pedaling 350 self-supported miles through the Alaskan wilderness.  Most recently she completed a previously unattempted North to South route traversing Iceland in winter by fatback alongside Chris Burkard and Angus Morton.  



Even with all of these accolades under her belt, her inimitable brand and redoubtable resumé continue to expand. Combining ongoing athletic pursuits with entrepreneurial endeavors as CEO of Rusch Ventures, she oversees an impactful network of events, products, and experiences designed to elevate possibilities for people and their bikes.  



Whether through print like in her best-selling autobiography Rusch to Glory, or on the trail, via her popular digital platforms or even as a highly requested keynote speaker, Rebecca inspires and emboldens countless fans. Her marquee event, Rebecca's Private Idaho, is ranked a top 5 gravel event by Global Cycling Network, and one of the top 25 rides in the world by Outside magazine. Her Rusch Academy full-spectrum cycling retreats boost skills, confidence and performance and her MTB Lao adventure travel excursions expresses Rebecca’s desir...

"Existence is relationships. You become you through your relationships"- Charles Eisenstein



Charles Eisenstein articulates more clearly than anyone - what is possible for humanity. He is the author of many books, including The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible and Sacred Economics. I first saw home speak when I was living in Bali, and so many people we trilled to see him in person - because he has this knack for verbalizing all the subtle thoughts running through people's minds: What is wrong with the world? How can we make it better?



This is world that is in transition between the old story of Separation and the new story of Interbeing. and our systems and structures are in flux. This conversation takes us through many of the ways that we have to navigate our changing world - as entrepreneurs, parents, spiritual beings, in relationship, as biological beings, and more.

"Love is the Quantum Entanglement that allows telepathy" - Aaron Abke



Aaron Abke is a YouTuber, Spiritual Teacher and Conscious Influencer. In this interview we discuss how he left his christian church for Jesus, and how an experience of enlightenment led him to eventually become a spiritual teacher and YouTuber. In this interview, ask him about the nature of consciousness, telepathy, the role of the physical body in spiritual growth, and he shares brand new concept of Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) with us



Aaron Abke was born and raised as a Pastor’s Son in the Silicon Valley of California. He desired to work in Church Ministry like his father and went to college at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa Oklahoma, graduating with a Bachelors Degree in Music and Theology. He spent one year working as a full time worship pastor at a church in San Jose until eventually, at 23, he felt called to leave his religion and pursue a deeper and more authentic spirituality.



At 27 years old, Aaron had a dramatic spiritual awakening that changed the course of his life. He was working as a signed Fitness Model in San Francisco and competing at the National level in men’s bodybuilding at the time, and completely walked out of his former life to dedicate his life to seeking how to return to that state of Self-Realization permanently.



Aaron’s passion is teaching Unity Consciousness and Spiritual Awakening with the world, and he does so today via YouTube, Social Media, MasterClasses and Workshops, primarily teaching through texts such as "A Course In Miracles" and "The Law of One". Aaron believes that Unity Consciousness and freedom from the Ego is the next evolutionary leap for mankind and is available for anyone who truly desires it.



What you'll learn in this episode:



* What are the 7 densities of consciousness* How long people live at each density* The role of the physical body in spirituality* What is mastery* The Dawkins scale of consciousness* What is unity consciousness* What is Mystical Christianity* What is the Law of One/RA ma



Quotes



"The body is a teaching device - its here for our learning" - Aaron Abke



"More than 90% of intelligent life in the universe is telepathic"- Aaron Abke



"A healthy spiritual body is of great value for spiritual seeking"- Aaron Abke



"When I left Christianity, I became even more passionate about Jesus"- Aaron Abke

"Material Reality is a Byproduct of Consciousness" - Derek Loudermilk

What You Will Learn in This Episode



Here are 13 fundamental principles that I have distilled down from my 57+ metaphysical experiments:



* When you are trying to do something like telepathy, telekinesis, meditation, you have to stop trying  - this was validated by my brainwave training. This works with manifesting as well. When you are applying force, it cuts off the flow.* In order to innerstand something you have to stop thinking - thinking is limiting, accessing higher knowledge is what will expand your awareness* Its all surprisingly simple* So many different healing methods work. Healing methods are not bound by space and time. The first time I encountered this was from a Cristian scientist who saw a group of people unbreak a horse's leg in the wilderness, and heal her blisters while running a marathon* All is self. * The progress of spiritual training can seem slow day to day and frustrating, but builds and builds and never goes away. A process of remembering.* Dream time is one of my favorite times* Things will fall away like drinking alcohol or watching too much tv or doing bad habits as it becomes more valuable to have pure energy etc.* There is tremendous power in just being without doing and your being ness can have a greater impact than doing* You have to let life-force flow through you - when healing, you can't try to push it out, or it will drain you.* Intention matters - in working with crystals and healing. When you want to manifest something - learn to harness the most powerful emotion positive outcome.* Think of 3D reality as a byproduct of  consciousness. As thoughts become more dense, they become solid enough for you to interact with* The brain is a filter or reducing valve for consciousness

"Memories are not stored in the brain" - Eben Alexander



Dr. Eben Alexander spent over 25 years as an academic neurosurgeon, including 15 years at the Brigham & Women’s Hospital, the Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston.  Over those years he personally dealt with hundreds of patients suffering from severe alterations in their level of consciousness.



In the predawn hours of November 10, 2008, he was driven into coma by a rare and mysterious bacterial meningo-encephalitis of unknown cause. He spent a week in coma on a ventilator, his prospects for survival diminishing rapidly. On the seventh day, to the surprise of everyone, he started to awaken. Memories of his life had been completely deleted inside of the coma, yet he awoke with memories of a fantastic odyssey deep into another realm – more real than this earthly one!



Since then, Eben has been on the leading edge of NDE and consciousness research. He has written three NYT bestselling books about his experience and research: Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Near-Death Experience and Journey into the Afterlife, The Map of Heaven: How Science, Religion, and Ordinary People Are Proving the Afterlife, and Living in a Mindful Universe: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Heart of Consciousness



Since Proof of Heaven  was released in 2012, he has been a guest on The Dr. Oz Show, Super Soul Sunday with Oprah Winfrey, ABC-TV’s 20-20 and Good Morning America, FOX-TV’s FOX & Friends, and his story has been featured on the Discovery Channel and the Biography Channel. He has been interviewed for over 400 national and international radio and internet programs and podcasts.  His books are available in over 40 countries worldwide, and have been translated into over 30 languages.



What you'll learn in this episode:



* What happens after we die* What we have learned from the science of NDEs* The function of the brain and the mind* Where memories are stores* The filter theory of the brain and consciousness* the trap of materialism and separation



Quotes



"I had the feeling during my NDE that I was taken around being shown everything"- Eben Alexander



"The ego would rather see the host dead than the ego dead" - Eben Alexander



"Memories are not stored in the brain" - Eben Alexander



"The brain is a filter or reducing valve for consciousness"- Eben Alexander



"We now have tens of millions of people who have been to the other side and lived to tell the tale"- Eben Alexander



Our modern world is experiencing a collective gift of desperation"- Eben Alexander
