   Number 1: You're Already Awake. You Just Forgot.

   Karen and Will sit down with Richard Walter, founder of I Am Day, a global awakening movement rooted in one deceptively simple idea. Richard traces the movement's origin back to a hundred-year-old book, a string of strange numerical coincidences connecting Florence Scovel Shinn, Louise Hay, and Wayne Dyer, and a personal wake-up-call practice he calls Awakening Currents. Along the way, Karen opens up about her cancer diagnosis and the shift in mindset that changed her relationship with her own body. The conversation closes with Richard's simplest teaching yet: three breaths is all it takes to come back to yourself.What You'll Hear[00:07:00] Richard joins the show and explains what I Am Day is, using Will's "photograph" metaphor. September 23rd is the snapshot, but the awakening it points to is daily.[00:09:00] The origin story. Richard finds The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn on his own bookshelf, a year after buying it, and reads it in one sitting.[00:13:00] The numbers get strange. Florence's book turns 100 the same year I Am Day launches. Louise Hay is born in 1926, the year the book was published, and her own breakthrough book lands exactly 50 years before this year's I Am Day. Wayne Dyer is born the year Florence dies.[00:15:00] Karen shares her cancer diagnosis and surgery, and how she came to see her body as something to love unconditionally rather than resent.[00:17:00] Richard connects Florence's "treatments" to Louise Hay's "Loving Treatment," and what it means to remember who you already are.[00:18:00] What "IAM" actually stands for: the International Awakening Movement, and the debate over capital vs. lowercase "I."[00:24:00] What actually happens on I Am Day: a full day of live teachers and contributors starting at 5 a.m. Pacific, hosted on Substack, closing with Will and Karen talking conscious media and New Reality TV at 6 p.m. Eastern.[00:27:00] The "pebble in the pond" metaphor for why a single person showing up quietly still matters.[00:31:00] Richard reads a live Awakening Current, his daily short-form writing practice, on air.[00:37:00] How to register, what you get access to, and where the recordings live after the event.[00:38:00] Richard's closing teaching: three breaths, eyes closed (unless you're driving), and the layers start to fall away.Books & Resources Mentioned (We may get an affiliate commission on some of these links)The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn (1925)You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay (1976)You've Got to Read This Book by Jack Canfield and Gay HendricksThe Body We Carry Forward by Richard WalterRichard's daily Substack, I Am Awake (Awakening Currents)LinksRegister for I Am Day, September 23rd: iamday.orgNew Reality TV, free on Roku, Fire TV, iOS, Android, and web: newrealitytv.comSend us a voicemail or leave a review: skepticmetaphysician.comQuote of the Episode "What we're trying to do is remember who we are, 'cause we are already awake.

   Number 2: What Actually Happens After You Die — And Why It Matters Right Now

   What actually happens after we die? Not the comforting version. Not the tunnel and the light and the everything-is-fine. The specific, structured, verifiable version…mapped in detail by someone who has spent more than 20 years studying the invisible architecture of the soul. In this episode Will and Karen sit down with internationally recognized intuitive healer and bestselling author Inna Segal to explore one of the most profound and underexplored questions in all of spirituality: what the soul experiences between death and rebirth, and why understanding that journey might be the most important thing you can do while you are still alive. Inna draws from her own direct experiences, including witnessing her grandmother's passing in real time and observing the etheric body leave the physical form, and from more than two decades of deep study in the work of Rudolf Steiner and the Anthroposophical tradition. The result is one of the most rigorously structured conversations about the afterlife, soul evolution, and spiritual discernment you will find anywhere in the podcast space. What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat the soul actually moves through in the period immediately following physical deathThe three-day separation process and the role of the etheric body in holding the physical form togetherWhy Rudolf Steiner's framework of subtle bodies — physical, etheric, astral, and ego — offers one of the most precise maps of human consciousness ever developedWhat the seven-year communication window is, and why departed souls gradually shift from verbal to gestural contact with the livingHow unresolved ancestral patterns, karma, and soul contracts shape both the life we live and the journey we take after it endsWhy the soul of someone who dies by suicide enters a fundamentally different state than one who transitions naturally — and what loved ones can do to helpHow Inna's clairvoyant grandmother survived the Holocaust by trusting her own perception, and how that gift passed through the family lineThe angelic encounter that predicted Inna's career in precise, testable detail — and the phone call that arrived the same evening to confirm itWhy Inna believes the new age industry has dangerously oversimplified the spiritual journey, and what a more honest framework looks likeHow Rudolf Steiner's predictions, made over 100 years ago, have been verified by modern discoveries in medicine, farming, and human developmentFind Inna:Website: innasegal.comInstagram: @innasegalauthorFacebook: InnaSegalAuthorYouTube: @InnaSegalauthorKey Topics & Timestamps[00:00] Pre-open teaser: The soul's journey between death and rebirth[01:00] Will and Karen intro: The show where the woo meets the "wait, really though?"[02:00] Inna's guest introduction and her million-copy bestselling background[03:00] The stillbirth at 22: Inna's first angelic encounter and the promise of two children[07:00] Healing her own body at 20: direct communication with her physical form and the discovery of her clairvoyant ability[11:00] The second angelic encounter at 25: a career prediction that made no logical sense[15:00] The phone call from Woman's Day magazine that arrived the same evening[19:00] The years of traveling, teaching, and writing The Secret Language of Your Body[21:00] Hitting the spiritual ceiling: why established new age teachings started to feel stale[25:00] Discovering Rudolf Steiner: the German lady who said "everything you think you know is wrong"[27:00] How much of Steiner does Inna take literally?

   Number 3: What Is Love? It's Not What You Think — Scotte Burns on Love, Consciousness, and the Fabric of Reality

   What if everything you have ever been told about love is wrong? Not slightly off. Not oversimplified. Fundamentally, scientifically, philosophically wrong. That is the starting point for today's conversation with Scotte Burns, a writer, speaker, and researcher who spent over a decade and more than 100,000 miles riding across America with his wife Toni, asking one question: What is love?He interviewed quantum physicists, Buddhist monks, Lakota elders, neuroscientists, jazz musicians, and people on death row. He recorded nearly five terabytes of interviews across 48 states. And the answer he came back with is not what anyone expected. Love, Scotte argues, is not a feeling. It's not a choice. It's not a chemical reaction or an evolutionary adaptation. It's the creative and purposeful aspect of universal consciousness itself. And the brain? It doesn't produce consciousness. It receives it, like an antenna tuned to a signal that was always already there.In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, we cover:Why no two people in thousands of recorded interviews have ever defined love the same way, and what that tells us about love's true natureThe critical difference between lust, attraction, attachment, and love, and why science keeps confusing themWhy grief is one of the strongest pieces of evidence that love is not biologicalThe concept of aeroplasticity: why love persists beyond its objects and what that reveals about consciousnessWhy materialist researchers may be permanently locked out of finding the answer they are looking forThis is one of those conversations that will quietly rearrange something in the way you see the world. Part 2 drops Tuesday, and it goes somewhere we genuinely did not see coming.Connect with Scotte Burns:🌐 scotteburns.com📖 The Cartographer's Log on Substack: scotteburns.substack.comIf your community, event, conference, or campus is ready for a different conversation about love, invite Scotte to speak.

   Number 4: Can You Actually Boost Your Neighborhood's Consciousness? The Science of Energy Work

   What if the thing designed to make your life better was also quietly surfacing everything you've been avoiding? That's exactly what Clayten Stedmann and Jeffrey Stegman... co-founders of Focused Life-Force Energy.... came back to TSM to explore.If you caught their first episode, you already know the origin story. This is not that conversation. In this return visit, we go considerably deeper into what FLFE actually is at its core... a high-consciousness field they call the Love Zone... and how it works using the Scale of Consciousness as its calibration framework.Clayten walks us through what it actually takes to do a consciousness calibration. and corrects the record live on air; it's not five million calibrations... it's eleven million. And counting.We cover:What the Love Zone actually is... and why the level of 550 on the scale represents unconditional loveHow muscle testing really works as a tool for measuring consciousness, including why only about 15% of people can do it reliably and how hydration, bias, and the precision of your statement all affect your resultsThe "UI" moment; when Will and Karen reframe kinesiology as prompting the original AI; Universal Intelligence... and why that might be the most accurate description of what's actually happeningThe manufacturing company story; Jeffrey describes activating FLFE in his business without telling anyone... and watching gossip drop to almost nothing while team coordination improved dramaticallyThe Two Brothers story; one of the most remarkable subscriber testimonials you'll ever hear, involving two young boys, a very quiet house, and a moment their mother called the biggest miracle of her lifeThe WWII concentration camp project; FLFE's early service work clearing geopathic stress and trauma from the land at Holocaust sites in Poland and GermanyWhat 11 million calibrations taught Clayten about humans... and what he does with 20,000 of them every single month just to maintain the serviceThe consent question; what happens to the people in your field who never opted in, and why Jeffrey says free will is always primaryThe nutritional piece; what your body actually needs to keep rising in a high-consciousness environment, including why copper, magnesium, and essential fatty acids matter more than you might thinkNeighborhoods; how one subscriber's FLFE field can ripple out to the people next door. and why low-consciousness neighbors tend to either move out or start hosting potlucksWhether you felt something during their first episode or you're brand new to Focused Life-Force Energy, this conversation is going to surprise you.

   Number 5: How Do You Know a Feeling Isn't Yours? - Spirit Fest VB

   Live from Spirit Fest at the Virginia Beach Convention Center, Will and Karen sit down with medical intuitive Picasso Roberts. She explains how she reads the body's "dis-ease" through a mental-emotional lens, why she never diagnoses or prescribes, and the three words she tells every client to remember when a feeling that surfaces isn't actually theirs to carry. Picasso also opens up about her path into the work at 40, her connection to Edgar Cayce's legacy in Virginia Beach, and what it really costs energetically to tune into another person's frequency for a living.The Skeptic Metaphysicians is a spiritual awakening podcast for open-minded thinkers who refuse to check their critical thinking at the door.
