Wakened Earth

In this episode of **Awakened Earth**, we delve into profound questions about life and death, guided by Ty Kenworthy’s extraordinary near-death experience. Ty's journey through spirituality and his encounter with what lies beyond have transformed his perspective on existence.

## Discovering Spirituality

Ty shares that before his near-death experience, his background was somewhat typical; he was a single parent trying to navigate life without a strong religious foundation. He recounts his exploration of faith through the Methodist and Pentecostal communities, but it wasn't until the passing of his grandmother in 2008 that he truly began to seek answers. This loss led him to Camp Chesterfield, where he discovered spiritualism.

## The Near-Death Experience

In 2019, Ty faced a health crisis that led to a near-death experience. During a hospital stay exacerbated by a severe case of mono, he found himself at a crossroads between life and death. He reflects on a moment of clarity during his illness:

> "I was given an option to either stay or go. I had met God. I decided I wasn't ready to leave my family behind."

Ty vividly recalls that pivotal moment, where he felt a presence that he identifies as God, who reassured him that he had fulfilled his earthly contract but still had more to learn and accomplish.

## Transformation and Insights

After deciding to return, Ty experienced an inexplicable recovery. He describes walking out of the hospital just thirty minutes later, astonished by the sudden shift in his condition:

> "There’s no other explanation but an intervention that made that occur."

This experience radically changed Ty’s understanding of death and consciousness. He expresses a newfound freedom from the fear of death, stating:

> "When the time comes, I'm good. I'm ready."

His perspective on life has also shifted, leading him to engage more deeply with his spiritual work and mediumship.

## A New Outlook on Life and Death

Ty's journey has not only changed his view on his own mortality but has also influenced how he raises his children. He emphasizes the importance of discussing death openly with them, ensuring they understand it as a natural part of life.

Through his experiences, Ty encourages listeners to explore their own beliefs about life, death, and what may lie beyond. It’s a conversation that can reshape our understanding of existence itself.

As Ty continues to navigate his spiritual path, he invites others to reflect on their own experiences and questions surrounding death. The journey doesn't end; it expands into deeper understanding and connection.

To hear more about Ty's journey and the insights he shares, be sure to listen to the full episode on Sunday.

Ancient Egypt may hold the missing key to consciousness, death, and awakening. Normandi Ellis reveals why the Egyptian mysteries still feel startlingly alive today - and why the wisdom of Osiris, Isis, and sacred language may be exactly what modern spirituality has forgotten. Author, spiritual teacher, clairvoyant, and spiritualist minister Norma D. Ellis joins Joseph Paul for a wide-ranging conversation that moves from childhood signs of the divine in nature to the deeper meanings hidden in the Book of the Dead, the story of Osiris, and the role of Isis as the spark that awakens the divine within. If you've ever wondered whether spirituality is about escaping the body or embodying it more fully, this episode will challenge that assumption. You’ll discover:

• Why the phrase "God is my name" lies at the heart of ancient Egyptian consciousness
• How Osiris becomes a map for death, rebirth, and the reintegration of the self
• Why Isis is not just a goddess, but the force that activates awakening
• What ancient Egyptian ideas about sacred words, vibration, and resonance have in common with quantum physics
• Why modern spiritual seekers may be rediscovering what the Egyptians understood thousands of years ago

Norma also opens up about her early intuitive experiences, the spiritualist influences in her family, and the moment she realized her gifts were not unusual at all - just underdeveloped. Along the way, she shares stories from Camp Chesterfield, reflections on clairvoyance and mediumship, and the surprising ways Christianity, Egyptian mysticism, and the divine feminine overlap. This is a conversation about more than ancient myths. It’s about how to live awake, how to trust what you sense, and how to remember that you are already part of a living, godded world. Perfect for listeners drawn to spirituality, esoteric wisdom, Egyptian mysticism, consciousness studies, reincarnation, and the deeper meaning of what it means to be human.

Normandi Ellis is an author, spiritual teacher, clairvoyant, and spiritualist minister known for her work with the Egyptian Book of the Dead and her book Awakening Osiris. Her teachings explore ancient Egyptian spirituality, sacred language, and the soul's journey through life, death, and rebirth.

What if your most ordinary gifts could become a spiritual practice? Amanda Dawn Jane, known as Manduh, turns Reiki, mediumship, baking, and retreat work into a single mission: helping people heal, trust their intuition, and find meaning in everyday life. Raised without much religion or spiritual structure, Manduh’s path was anything but straightforward. A breaking-point retreat in 2019 opened the door to spirit, leading her into Camp Chesterfield, a deeper spiritualist community, and eventually into the Reiki practice that changed how she understood energy, guidance, and healing. Along the way, she began noticing that intuition feels different from ego, that grief can become a doorway to connection, and that spirit has a way of showing up when you least expect it. You’ll discover:

• how Manduh first recognized her spiritual awakening
• what spiritualism means to someone who found it later in life
• how Reiki, spiritual healing, and mediumship differ
• why she believes intuition arrives as a whisper, not a shove
• how she infuses intention and energy into cakes, cupcakes, and pastries
• what happened when she gave readings in the Temple of Sekhmet in the Nevada desert

Amanda also shares how her retreats create space for transformation, why grief can deepen empathy instead of harden it, and how the right community can change everything. If you’ve ever felt drawn to spirituality but didn’t know where to start, or if you’re curious about mediumship, energy work, or turning your gifts into a life path, this conversation offers both grounding and wonder. Essential listening if you’re searching for spiritual clarity, healing, or proof that life can become much more magical when you start paying attention to the signs.

What does it really mean to be a medium? Is mediumship about having special abilities—or is it about learning to step aside and allow Spirit to work through you?

In this powerful conversation with Bryan Peters, we explore mediumship, spirituality, intuition, Spirit, spiritual awakening, and the experience of allowing something greater than ourselves to guide the moment. We also question what it means to be a medium in a room and how we can become more open to spiritual connection.

This conversation is part of Wakened Earth with Joseph Paul, where we explore spirituality, consciousness, healing, psychology, awakening, and what it means to live a more conscious human experience.

What happens when a Pentecostal upbringing, Native American heritage, and years of mediumship training collide? Lexy Hovis shares the path that took her from being the odd one out in church to becoming a registered medium, ordained Egyptian priestess, and host of Soul and Spirit. Lexy and Joseph Paul unpack the spiritual awakening that started in childhood, when she realized rigid religion didn’t fit the way she experienced spirit, nature, and truth. From Camp Chesterfield to IU to a life shaped by guides, auras, and metaphysics, Lexy reveals how she stopped trying to force spirit into a box and learned to trust what actually works. You’ll discover:

• Why Lexy says nature became her first church
• How Camp Chesterfield shaped her mediumship and healing work
• The moment she met a guide who changed everything
• What the Hermetic principles mean in real life, not just in theory
• Why “as above, so below” and “all is mind” can completely change how you think about manifestation
• How she uses intention, energy, and ancestral traditions to stay grounded

Lexy also opens up about the limits of manifestation, the difference between rigid religion and evolving faith, and why ancient traditions like Egyptian spirituality still feel so alive today. If you’ve ever questioned what you were taught, wondered whether there’s more out there, or felt called to build a spiritual path that actually fits you, this conversation will speak directly to you. Essential listening if you’re curious about mediumship, Hermetic philosophy, manifestation, ancestral wisdom, or the courage to trust your own spiritual experience over someone else’s rules.

Joseph Paul talks with Raven Sager, the Pittsburgh-area cauldron leader, entertainer, and teacher, about a life shaped by foster care, adoption, rebellion, prison, and spiritual searching. Raven shares how he moved from strict church upbringing to Satanism, then into broader occult study, Islam, and a more inclusive, open-ended practice centered on learning and community. We discuss how identity, anger, discipline, and curiosity shaped Raven’s path, and why he now focuses on uniting people rather than boxing them into labels. This conversation is part personal testimony, part spiritual reflection, and part reminder that growth often comes through hard consequences and constant self-examination.
