This is the most unusual podcast I have recorded in India, and one of the most challenging conversations of the entire trip. What begins as a discussion about the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna, Arjuna, dharma, karma, Maya, and consciousness gradually shifts into a far more intense exchange.

We compare Krishna and Jesus, explore ancient Indian philosophy, examine tantra and ritual symbolism, and look at the meaning of devotion. As the dialogue unfolds, the tone changes.

At one point, the guest claims he can control a person through their left eye.

Later, he introduces topics related to sacrifice, blood rituals, and dark practices. I use questioning to understand what he means.

This episode presents cultural, historical, and philosophical perspectives through the lens of one individual.

Everything here is for educational and documentary purposes only.

The guest speaks for himself, and discernment is encouraged.

This conversation is part of the deeper exploration behind my docu-series “What If with Nick Zei,” where we examine how different cultures understand God, the soul, karma, reincarnation, and unseen forces that influence human behavior.

They told you the body was just biology… but the ancients knew better.

In this episode, we dive into the Taoist view of the body as an interface.
Not just organs and flesh... but energy, emotion, and intelligence.
A full system. Wired to the field.

Here’s what we break down:

• The real meaning behind the Five Elements (not the watered-down version)

• Why each organ holds a specific emotion, and how that shapes your reality

• How Taoist view maps to frequency, energy fields, and the human physiology

• What it really means to live in harmony with the cosmos

This isn’t wellness fluff.. We call out that false light loop.
This is the original blueprint for how your body connects to everything.

In this episode, Nick Zei breaks down what The Human Game really is-and why most people are trapped in loops without even knowing it.

If you've ever felt like reality was off, like something deeper was going on beneath the surface... you're not crazy. You're waking up.

We explore:

• Why your reality feels manipulated (and who benefits)

• Ancient cultures & the conscious field theory

• The illusion of “free will” in a distracted world

• Psychological tactics used to keep Players asleep

• How to break loops and shift your timeline

This episode connects the dots between Plato’s Cave, the false light, and ancient truths hidden on purpose. It’s the starter wake-up call for anyone ready to exit the matrix.
