Hey everyone! It's been a while. Well, we're back, with a great one.

In this episode of The Light Diet podcast I interview my good friend and founder of Sauna Space, Brian Richards.

This was a particularly interesting conversation because we both have a very deep knowledge and understanding of light to complement each other quite well. I'm interviewing Brian here and I definitely make sure to get his specific take on certain subjects where he has greater expertise than myself.

We start with how Brian got to making SaunaSpace products, which ends up spurring an entire conversation in itself.

We touch on many of the important benefits of natural incandescent light, especially as opposed to LED and fluorescent light sources.

I was reminded of many great ideas, and also learned many new things on this fantastic interview with Brian.

Be sure to tune in! Enjoy.

Matt Maruca faced health challenges as a kid and after all traditional strategies failed, took it upon himself to understand how the body works, and heal. He came to understand that light is the primary driving force in all of life, and contrary to what is believed in most of the health world, our modern, indoor, technology-based lifestyle, and not just our food, is the primary driver of the modern chronic disease epidemic. He founded Ra Optics, named after Ra, The Egyptian god of sunlight, medicine, and healing, to create products to make people’s lives better using light, starting with Blue Light Blocking Glasses. He also distilled down everything he learned into a protocol called “The Light Diet” that anyone can use to heal and thrive with light.

His research on light revealed that there is, in fact, a solid scientific foundation for many of the teachings of the Ancient East, and inspired him onto a deeper spiritual quest of how to be the best that we can be in this existence.

On this podcast, he shares insights from his research and travels on subjects such as light, wellness, spirituality, humanity, and running an online business while traveling the world.

In this Quantum Field Report I just started filming because I felt like sharing and I decided to see where my talking would lead.

I got into the discussion of what it means to live a good life and that this has been my general pursuit for several years now; more specifically, to live the best life that I possibly can.

Of course, to do so requires defining what a good life is as a whole. What does this mean? Is it subjective, a matter of opinion, or objective, a matter of fact? Many people will have different opinions about this, but I believe that living a good life is more objectively related to keeping our energy and awareness in our higher energy centers and aware of ourselves as the detached observer, based on everything I've been learning recently about spirituality.

So, in a sense, a good life could manifest in many different forms of course, but I'm coming to believe that it is possible to find formula at a base level for creating the circumstances for a "good life”. If it was all a matter of opinion and not scientific, then achieving a good life would be just like a wild rabbit chase. I don't believe this is true, I do believe there is a path that we can walk down that many people have walked down before, which is the basis for what we would call a "good life” or, better, an “enlightened” or “realized” life.

In this episode I share my thinking and background thoughts and experiences that led me to these ideas and conclusions, including the fact that building a business as I have has given me virtually unlimited freedom, which really has led me to realize that life is a completely blank slate from which we can create anything, and it's forced me to ask the question: “what the heck are we doing here?”, as well as “who are we?”, “who am I?”, "What is the nature of this experience?”

In this episode, I share something that I have been looking into a lot recently which is bitcoin. At first I didn't understand bitcoin, but as I put the pieces together with all of my thinking about money and business over the last many years, I came to understand that bitcoin is far more than just a catchy name and get rich quick scheme as some people think. Digital currency is the future of all money. Just as the Internet has taken over, it is bound to as well. Money is a physical representation of value that is central to our lives because it is a place where people store their life force energy in order to obtain their physical sustenance in this world. The problem is that the system is rigged against us because we are forced to store all of this energy and value from our life force in a pot that is completely controlled by governments with malicious intent. They use this energy for imperialism, war, profiting and racketeering, and things that undermine basic humanity and human rights around the globe every day. By transferring a significant portion of the world's currency into digital currency or "hard money", the rug will be swept out from under the nation states that are responsible for perpetrating most of the evils in the world today, and bring power back to the collective of humanity.

This one was something else. I was inspired by something I was reading and decided to just open up my phone to share about it. Little did I know I would end up speaking for over an hour about all the things that I've been experiencing lately, and the things I've been learning. I'm very glad I did, because I think it will be of tremendous value to you. I discuss my trip to Russia and some of the things I experienced there, going to a weeklong advanced meditation retreat with Dr. Joe Dispenza in Turkey, I discussed the thing that initially inspired me to start recording, which is the etymology of the word "to teach". Here I go through a brief history of European and Proto-Indo-European languages and how they relate to tribal migration throughout Europe. At the end I dive into some deep spiritual concepts.

On today's quantum field report I get into a subject that I have been considering for a long time now.

This is a subject that is very important to consider for anyone who is interested in healing.

Typically when we feel uncomfortable or some unpleasant emotion, we point our fingers outside and say that it's because of something outside of us. In reality, all of the world is occurring within our head, so there is some lack of something within us that this external perception is activating.

Trying to change the world outside of us to project our limitations onto the world will never solve the true problem, which is the internal limitation. In fact, the world outside will shift to reflect that limitation, but because we cannot change everything by forcing it, the limitation still exists and we will still feel the exact same feeling we felt, and try to find more people or circumstances to project that limitation onto.

In fact, when I first started my business, this is exactly what I was doing; I grew up with circumstances that caused me to feel a lot of fear and discomfort around finances and money, and I actually perpetuated that with my business in my own life. Just like everything else, business is something external that takes whatever meaning we give it: it can be the greatest opportunity eve, or it can feel like a massive stressful burden, and in my case for a long time it was more of the latter. Thankfully, because of the lessons that I'm sharing in this quantum field report, it changed to be more of the former over the past year.

I don't claim to have all the answers; I'm just sharing what I have learned from my experiences. I also don't claim to be right about anything.

I actually observe fear from my ego about being attacked by people who are inclined to think a certain way for sharing this message, but, as I'm sharing here, by giving that belief any power, I'm actually setting the stage for it to occur, because rather than realizing that we are brothers and sisters and feeling love and compassion for these people and the tremendous pain that they feel and where they're coming from, even if I disagree with their methods, I'm just creating separation between “me” and “them”.

So, give it a listen, and I would love your thoughts. Send me a message on Instagram.

One more thing: do you like the information that I'm sharing here and anywhere else? Well, thank you. I want you to know that it's all made possible because of Ra Optics, the business that I started to provide you with the actual tools that you need to implement this ancient wisdom into your life. We make the worlds only premium Screen and Sleep Lenses, and the best by far. The science behind our lenses is unmatched, as is the quality and style of our frames.

My mission is to help people realize their dreams, starting by improving their sleep.

So grab a pair of Sleep Lenses and experience the power of a new life. If you happen to work in an office, attend a school, or are on a screen a lot, grab a pair of Screen Lenses as well. They’ll boost your mood when you're indoors, naturally calm you down and reduce your stress levels, prevent headaches, increase your focus and productivity, and especially protect your eyes from getting damaged over time.

So, since everything is energy, by choosing to support yourself on something that actually matters and works, you're also supporting my research to continue bringing you newer and better information, ideas, and tools. You wouldn't believe what's coming down the road.

In this Quantum Field Report I detail my experience with learning about Ayurvedic medicine and a specific protocol that I tried out and continue to utilize. Interestingly enough, as life would have it, a friend who I met surfing in the water in Bali happens to be a leading Indian (Ayurvedic) medicine doctor, and although at first I was not prepared to understand a lot of what he teaches, over time I started to realize that it is actually the next level of what I call "The Light Diet”. People have been practicing "The Light Diet" for thousands of years, and optimizing it over and over and over again. I've said before that The Light Diet is nothing new, and I did not come up with it; it is just a modern way to understand something ancient, something that has survived the tests of hundreds of generations of humans. Want to find out the scoop? Well, listen in. One more thing: do you like the information that I'm sharing here and anywhere else? Well, thank you.
