In this powerful conversation with Ray Crist, founder of the Jaguar Path School of Modern Shamanism, you will hear his incredible journey of healing and transformation. After an unexpected cancer diagnosis in 2003 and a prognosis of only 90 days, Ray was forced to re-evaluate everything he knew about life, death, and purpose. Leaving behind a successful career as a high-profile photographer, he embarked on a soul-searching pilgrimage across Mexico, Peru, and ultimately to the United States—seeking wisdom from indigenous healers and Quero elders. Ray shares how shamanic practices and modern medicine guided him through profound healing, how close brushes with death changed his life perspective, and how every moment since has been a gift. He discusses the physiology of the healing process and opens up about the power of listening within, letting go of material pursuits, and embracing a purposeful new path. Ray’s story is a transformative lesson for anyone questioning their purpose or feeling trapped by the weight of daily life.

Ray Crist is a world-renowned visionary and master teacher devoted to sharing the transformative healing wisdom of shamanic traditions through The Jaguar Path School of Modern Shamanism and the Science of Healing. For over 30 years, he has dedicated himself to sharing the powerful practices he discovered, guiding others on paths of healing, balance, and spiritual growth. Through The Jaguar Path, Ray and his wife, Nina, lead a comprehensive 9-month Shamanic Certification Training, empowering participants to harness the science and soul of healing to enrich their own lives and help others with insights to yoga, tai chi, Ayurveda and Chinese medicine. In addition to the annual training, they offer virtual classes in yoga, tai chi, healing sessions, and more. Before relocating to Greece in 2022, Ray taught thousands at world-renowned wellness centers, including Kripalu, NY Open Center, and Yoga Journal Conferences. Ray’s teaching is a testament to his commitment to helping others access ancient practices that transformed his own journey, inspiring a life of profound purpose and service.

Explore the concept of Whole Planet Spirituality, where unity transcends human differences and embraces all living beings. We have been conditioned to see ourselves as superior, separate and dominant. Currently entrenched in a war-based paradigm, we see nearly everything through that lens. To create a new world based on love, respect and interconnectivity, we need to raise our consciousness! Learn about the creative process through a metaphysical lens, inspired by the 7 days of creation in Genesis, and how faith, imagination, understanding, will and discernment can shape a world that works for everyone—including the animals, trees, and entire planet. This is a condensed version of Rev. Carol's presentation at the recent annual Whole Planet Spirituality Forum & Retreat that she led at Unity Village, Missouri.

When Douglas Hodgson retired as a law professor, he shifted his focus from secular law to Divine Law, comparative world religions and the world of near-death experiences. A researcher of over 500 Near Death Experience (NDE) testimonies, Douglas shares his insights from his trilogy on transcendental spirituality, divine virtues, and the common messages found across world religions and NDEs. In this episode, we explore the fascinating parallels between messages shared by NDEers and sacred scriptures, which uncover truths about life, death, and the afterlife. Whether you are curious about sacred wisdom, Divine Law, or the purpose of life, this episode offers a unique perspective on the nature of God and the interconnectedness of all that is. Douglas is a return guest. You can learn more from Spiritual Revelations from Beyond the Veil – EP 246.  

Bio - Douglas Hodgson is a dual citizen of Canada and Australia, currently residing in Perth, Western Australia. During his 35-year career in university education spanning four countries, he published numerous books and journal articles on human rights law and causation law. His latest publications include "Transcendental Spirituality, Wisdom and Virtue", "Spiritual Revelations from Beyond the Veil: What Humanity Can Learn from the Near Death Experience" and "Near Death Experiences and Sacred Scripture: The Parallel Messaging".

About Douglas' book : My first book entitled "Transcendental Spirituality, Wisdom and Virtue" identified 36 Divine Virtues which unite the world's mainstream religions, firmly anchoring a higher spirituality within a religious context. My second book entitled "Spiritual Revelations from Beyond the Veil: What Humanity Can Learn from the Near Death Experience" revealed a higher spirituality based exclusively on what was imparted to near death experiencers which is completely decoupled from a religious context. The third and final book in this trilogy entitled "Near Death Experiences and Sacred Scripture: The Parallel Messaging" essentially closes the loop by amalgamating the two types of spirituality into an integrated whole.
