He DIED & Was Disillusioned With Life On Earth Afterwards - Near Death Experience

[Music] and now from beyond our Dimension this is the Jeff Mara podcast here's Jeff my guest is Luke Cohen a man who had a near-death experience due to Denay fever which we'll learn about and more Luke thanks for joining me and welcome happy to be here hey everybody let's start on the day this terrible thing happened to you and go from there well it was two weeks Uh into 2020 uh we all remember that year and I thought that I had something else but it turned out to be den and um you know I'm really

into health and healing and and so sometimes when I don't feel well I'll fast which is the last thing you should do with Den you actually need to eat because your platelets can go down and uh and so I was fasting thinking I just had a regular fever and this new thing that's going around and then sure enough I went To go to the bathroom and then left came back on a golden DMT light Bridge it's the only way that I could describe it and came back in my body to my exp partner at the

time pounding on my chest and crying and when I came back I was fully aware that I was back I was fully aware that I I had left and I was fully aware that there was no more fear in my body I was completely just present and I felt this kind of golden Christlike energy pouring into my Nervous system um and I just looked at her I said call an ambulance I'm fine everything's going to be okay and just let's go to the hospital um but I was completely calm and tranquil and then I proceeded

to have this full kind of shamanic fever journey in the hospital as the whole you know planet was being swept by this very different thing happening to humanity and was very I could like almost see the patterns of it being rolled out in the consciousness of The collective and I was kind of in between uh I would say timelines like like see like I would wake up and I'm in a castle in Scotland dying of a mortal stab wound with my wife and child and there's like a fire then I could fall back to sleep

and I wake up and I'm like a child in in like a Kolkata slum I fall back asleep and wake up so I like kind of cycled through all these like death by fever lifetimes during it and was also kind of witnessing the collective Consciousness from a almost like an eagles perspective on what was happening at in early 2020 um and so when I got back from the hospital and I had fully moved through that whole experience and I I was good enough to leave uh they they keep you on IVs and they do all

this you know kind of fever medication I don't know take a lot or I don't normally take medication ever but I had to with this um and then yeah when I was back I was quite Disillusioned it was like you know I've had three NDS in in my life and it was just like I was gone and then I was back but the feeling of coming back was really wild like this kind of descending like I said this this DNT light light bridge and um and it was you know any kind of big peak spiritual

experience has its integration process right no matter what it is whether it's from psychoactive substances or nde um there's an integration period and so I Ed my integration period when I got back and it was really challenging for me because I was like there was a part of my personality like what's the point you're just we could just be gone you know like where was My Life review where was my you know my special moment from the angels and like you know what happened you know and then I was so I was in kind of

this disillusionment of like what's the point of being here this is this is like you know I had this Meaning that I've found in life and other you know deep spiritual experiences throughout my 20-year journey and there was kind of like a a simp almost a Simplicity to it that was uh eerily un fascinating like it was like this Simplicity and so my nervous system was actually being calibrated to a new orientation of Simplicity which my Identity didn't like at the time so I went through this like uh and then I I I took a

scooter ride I was living in Bali in scooter life over there so I kind of rode around my neighborhood took a just get out of the house I've been like in bed a lot and I was thinking of I thought of a friend who uh is like a fellow kind of high priest uh healer energy worker and we've seen each other through a lot of initiations and just thinking of him my heart opened in Gratitude and I was asking this question why what's the point why are we here what's the point why are we here

what's the point why that was like my inquiry and then I got really loud we're here for for each other and my heart just exploded in gratitude and I could feel all the other light workers that I'm connected to and all the other light workers on the planet all around the planet in that moment and how we're here to kind of hold a grid of Consciousness On the planet right now and I'm just one noal point of that wave of connection it was quite relieving to feel almost like a burden had been lifted like I

didn't have as much that I needed to like I have a higher cheever background and really good at pushing myself and my my B phase was was about I almost call it my Mystic sabatical where I like stopped being a high achiever and just detoxed and meditated and rested and had these kinds of experiences but There was something really phenomenal about feeling that level of connection with the whole of this grid of souls that are that are meant to be holding a point of Consciousness at this particular time on earth and the next wave of

integration was um yeah it was it was about identity personally uh I was I was in a rebirth and if the veils were very thin for me previously from all the other work that I've done in you know North and South American Shamanism and uh the other lineages that I study that deal with the Unseen the invisible um that was like you know you unplug the Wi-Fi for a minute and a half and you plug it in the signals even stronger so that's what it felt like it was like my connection was stronger than it

had ever been and the veils were gone like if they were thin before and I could sense things it was just like there was no more Veil and so my my guides came to me after that next Integration they said your mystical sabatical is over it's time to start working with leaders and healers again with your work like you need to come out of out of your incubation Hiatus and so because I had taken off a year and a half uh from my healing practice and doing you know doing any kind of public facing work

I was just a nobody I started wearing these kind of hats for the first time in my life where I was be more you know uh spiritual Garb and just Like being a nobody basically and so I spent that year and a half being a nobody and they were like yeah you're needed your work's needed now time to get back to work and I was like okay and they were like by the way you're a Bard I'm like what's a Bard and so I go on this inquiry in this path of of study of of

a Bard and I'm like I think I know what a Bard is like I remember a story of like you know they were like medieval storytellers you know And I so I so I start start there and I start to get this sort of understanding of what this archetype is and aard in medieval times would get like partitioned by like a famous house you know they were like here's a bag of coins sing a good song about our generosity and our our you know the the exquisiteness of our house and they would go and they

would sing their one obligatory song when they would go to other places and also sing About their you know mystical experiences and like their near death experiences of like almost being robbed in a in a forest by a group of bsts but then like Serena them and they they like put their knives away and sit down and like have a good cry and then like they're let free you know so uh you know uh Robin Hood is the merry band like they were all kind of like like medieval bars they were like a jolly group

of of people and so in that time The Bard was Like a really big deal for people when when they would come to town because it was like they brought the good news from other parts of the world because back then you couldn't leave your kingdom you were in this like isolated Castle cuz you can get robbed in the forest you know where your food and grain is you have your people and it's actually really scary to leave the confines of the castle W and I thought this was this is deeply symbolic this is interesting

We have these these castles of of familiarity we don't leave our familiar zones and then you get this person that comes and kind of interrupts your reality for a moment I kind of like this archetype all right I can get with this and then I start going deeper and deeper and so yeah so they used to bring the good news from Kingdom to Kingdom and then I went deeper into the mythology and I found that The Bard actually comes from Druid Celtic tradition ancient and That they had to go through 20 years of initiation before

they were allowed and permitted to give a transmission to the tribe and to the people through Sound song and poetry so music poetry or storytelling so essentially a mystical Storyteller and I was like okay well this is really resonant now and it's been literally 20 years of initiations and so I started to Rebrand from my previous identity as a Loc Nando which was the you know Sanskrit name That I received in India in 2007 and my whole community in New York knew me as a Loca and I was I had a mystery School online and

did very much more traditionally spiritual things and all of a sudden it's like okay time to be a Storyteller to humanity and I went back to my birth name from alokananda and I Rebrand as Cohen Return Of The Bard and I continue to get inspiration and Clarity Around The Bard I went to Ireland last year you know I have Irish Sent as well and so there was something about something coming online in my own DNA as well as my soul's journey through those mystery schools that was like okay this is because I've always had a

very transpersonal identity you know I've always been very like what is this Dimension you know and like how do we fit in this world you know as as a spiritual being and as a sensitive creative type and it was like it gave me Permission to come even more into my Human Experience so that near-death experience was really about completely pattern interrupting my old identity gave me an infusion of really powerful spiritual energy in a very scary time on the planet where literally I didn't have fear in my body for about two months and then I'm

I'm downloaded all this information around the next sequence of my Incarnation I want to go back and ask you a few questions about your Experience you left your body you were in the restroom and then you just left your body right where did you go and what did you see just nothingness so you went maybe to like the black void or something yeah I could you know I've had experience meeting that place in meditation uh in India in 2007 I I received Daron from a very powerful Mystic woman and I went to that no thing

place before and the mind just your mind just stops and your just existence but It's more of a a void black kind of empty womb like potentiality it's a little bit has like almost a colder feeling and I've also gone into that more of that sat Anand place that they talk about is this pure godhead Divine knowing Divine Bliss Divine awareness and it's a white light it's almost like the yin and yang so you have this both spaces the mind doesn't exist both spaces there's no identity but awareness and a version of You that's in

Awareness so I've had both of these experiences really early on in my spiritual seeking sort of initiatic like where it kicked off I had both those experiences in the same year this was different because it was almost like like I said you unplugg the Wi-Fi so the Wi-Fi gets unplugged I'm just gone no sense of self no sense of where I am the next thing I'm I'm just traveling back on this from this void like the even the felt sense of the Void Wasn't there was no linear sense of being there I was just gone

and then I was traveling back but you were conscious while you were there when I was gone I was not conscious and so this is the this is brings us to the the next sequence of the story so I I I go to this Channeler who I trust and she channels that in the moment that I was gone I spent 500 years worth of Earth time doing other work off planet to get codes I needed and Information and experience to then come back into for the next part of my life and that's why they wiped

my memory right before I came back oh okay interesting okay well you said you came back on a DMT light bridge and I've never heard that before what do you mean by that so uh there's geometry in into the whole nature of the universe um this this is a tral field right this is a geometry right uh our energy Fields have a have a toal if it's functioning Correctly other times you get wobbly shapes um so every you know they say if God was a existed that he's a mathematician right there's these geometric P patterns

um I had the experience of 5mo uh in 20 15 and so I was introduced to that I only did it once I never need to do it again so I've experienced that experience and I've also had breath work where I've experienced it and I was also deep in the worlds of iasa and poot and Uh traditional plant medicine for a long time so you know I I believe that actually the nature of the Soul itself is psychedelic and all these things do just is just thin the veils right we're multi-dimensional beings our souls are

multi-dimensional and so we think of psychedelics as psychedelic but actually we psychedelic beings right and so I was acquainted with that that feeling and awareness and and frequency of what DMT feels like which is if you if you look At the science of it it's it's secreted at Birth and Death so I got a flood dose of DMT because I died and I was like oh this is DMT like as I was traveling and I became conscious again and I was like coming from wherever I was coming from and I was traveling back I was

like oh I'm on DMT oh wait and then I was back in my body and so the light Bridge was like this Golden coiled almost like DNA strandy kind of psychedelic tunnel and I was just back in my body yeah you said that you woke up with your partner pounding on your chest does that mean that you were dead and she was trying to resuscitate you yeah I mean that's that's how she recalls it she was like you were gone you were completely it was like almost two minutes that I was gone and she just

prayed and cried and banged on my heart with all of her will to try To bring me back do you think it's possible that you pre-planned this nde pre-birth you know that's a really profound question and I've never fully considered that um I think that there's moments on our journey that our high self our soul or whatever they say that we review everything before we come into this Incarnation and it gets into the whole Free Will Destiny you know thing I don't know and I'm okay not knowing but it When you said it and you

asked me I'm like that is very possible that that was a destiny appointment that maybe I didn't need to manifest it at that level like something else could have brought me there but I had to get on where I am now and so whatever means that I you know that's the that's the kind of like cross sort of Free Will and fate is like I think some choices we make matter and can have impact on the timeline and can rip like everything we do and choose has Impact it's it's there's there's cause and effect but

C Destiny threads or destiny points in our Soul's Journey are inevitable and we cannot avoid them but they could be either more graceful or more difficult depending on the choices we've made up to that point so it's possible that I could have made things a lot easier for myself and not needed to manifest an NDA to get that pattern Interruption if I was making you know maybe some different choices previously But uh I think that there was an inevitability to some of the awareness that came from that from what you've been saying it appears that

you had to prepare to be a Bard but is it possible that you were one once before in a previous life definitely so as I went deeper into the mythology I found out that I mean I'm getting chills um that in the time of the Roman Empire um when they were Conquering the tranic Tribes of Europe and they were waging their War campaign and basically trying to conquer as much as as they could they came among they came amongst The Druids and The Druids were in all over like people think of Druids just being in

Ireland they were in Scotland they were in the British islands like all the way through there were Portugal like that the Druid civilization was is post Atlantean civilization it's it's uh we were one of the the root mystery schools Of the 13 mystery schools that fled Atlantis and I actually with the same partner that brought me back um I went when we went through a breakup I access the memory of when Atlantis was collapsing and actually fleeing on a boat and with to help found the Druid mystery School itself among with like all these other

people and there was a moment where my partner and I were together in a Landis and we we got into this argument and she was like you need To stay and fight and I was like that's not the way like this is going to get really bad we need to go and she refused to go and I left and it was like heartbreaking and it was like there was an there was an echo of that that dynamic in our in our dynamic as I left and the the kind of choices and different values that I

discovered in our relationship and so I had a full recol of that and I also had another friend because Bali is a very mystical Place and the people that were all there during the the great pause we're a very interesting soul group we were all working through something and he remembers this as well and he went off to do a different mystery school he ended up transitioning out of his body completely last year and he was one of the most high Jedi people that I know and he came to me and after he left body

and was downloading me over three nights in like almost a full ceremony around This phase of the Ascension right now but to come back to what you're saying um yeah so the when the Romans came up against the the the The Druids and the Kelts in Ireland they came up against the fiercest Army that theyve ever they have ever faced ever and they noticed that there was a group of beings on the back line uh and when they would they would sing these songs and it would give the front line almost the strength of 10

men It was like the ancestral power was was ining them the first thing they did was wage an assassination campaign on the bars and when I read that story I sobbed and I remembered and I saw what happened and I had access to very old past life or genetic me memory it's hard to say with Celtic mythology it's very interesting because there's like linear history and then it starts to bleed into myth it starts to ble bleed into the fall of Atlantis this actually in some Of their mythology there was this other great land mass

that fell into the sea and then the Teo D came which were like elf beings you know they were a higher dimensional when the when the Iron Age came with uh then then the te down and went into the underworld like this crazy interesting mythological alternative historical perspectives that that you know linearity like you couldn't pinpoint it it's so it's become mythology and we can actually track some Of the history from like a linear place and some of it it's just it's just shrouded in mystery in this literally mythology like any indigenous culture you have

uh where it gets blurry between history and mythology this is a little off topic but you were talking about that you didn't want to fight while you were on Atlantis and something happened can you share with us what this fight was all about in Atlantis there was some kind of infiltration of the Magi and the Different Council like I the way that I remember and and I've pieced together parts from different meditations and Journeys and channelings and all the different like the way that I get information from different sources from you know for those of

you that follow human design I'm a 51 and the one just wants to get to truth it wants to invest we're the investigator and Informer so I investigate find and then I distribute the information as best I can through my Live experience and what I discover and hold it all lightly like I don't hold to anything as a fixed view on reality it's a very high potential or this resonated for me right and so for me um as was investigating it it was like there was a golden age moment and then there was some kind

of off-planet or Fallen Angelic influence that started to introduce a type of hierarchal power structure and it started to infiltrate the like what like in Atlantis we had Councils we operated as in in in the for in like groups of 12 13 or 20 like we had these configurations of how we made decisions as a council and it was meditative and it was high high frequency energy where you're like literally there's not one leader it's distributed and so there was like this infiltration that happened that started to so Division and it was a it became

a power struggle and so the spiritual technology and the technology and all The things that made Atlantis great started to become more about power over and it started to become a a a about control versus um alignment and I see The Echoes of it today in the kind of spiritual communities entrepreneurial communities people that are very deeply seeking power for these old reasons or seeking fame or seeking something there's like oh I can taste the frequency of I'm like Oh that's that's unresolved in my team Karma or I've even you know like have held space

for Founders meetings and like done some mitigation and I'm like y'all have some really unresolved Atlantean Karma here that's what this is and we'll clear the templates and then they'll be like oh let's create a new contract and they do you know they they create a different relationship once that karma is cleared so um but yeah you know a lot of people Don't realize that like Atlantis and Loria actually existed at the same time at one point and Atlantis actually conquered lamoria and then that was when it got dark when it was you know at

the end of that Saga that's when the whole system collapsed and when we were the those of us in the different councils that were still like committed to serving the light and we're we're seeing the the the tip of power we we were divinely guided to to leave that Landmass and go and that's where we went and seated these other mystery schools that were tied to atlis but atlis goes back to Sirus L goes to all these other off-planet um higher civilizational sort of teachings why do you think we reincarnate over and over again what's

the point to all this this is Earth School this is to evolve as a soul you know and Earth is a living library of creation so uh everything that exists in this particular section of the universe Is seated here all the animals all the plant light everything was seated as a living library that represents the the multi-dimensional nature of all these other planetary systems even our chakra system is uh is has a star seed Essence like the plans gave the six uh gave the heart chakra the syrians gave the sixth chakra the octarians third chakra

the Orion the first chakra so it's a big multi-dimensional experiment in Consciousness and you know there's Theories that it's like a Prison Planet and you know we just were like being trapped in these incarnations of of you know cycles and um I don't I I mean I'm sure there's a layer of that that may have truth to it you know and why some of these you know piscine teachings from the yogic age were like all about getting out of the cycle of death and rebirth and you know being like what it takes to actually become

a Divine human being again to step out of the the loop Of it um I had my my one of like it wasn't a full new experience but I was taken out of my body by my guides in 2011 uh I went through a really really intense breakup and it absolutely broke my heart and I just started working with a new spiritual teacher and this is the first time I started channeling uh I was doing it through written I wasn't speaking I was just all through writing at the time and I was pretty deep in

my medicine work at the time but I wasn't On anything when this happened and I was my guides they came I was meditating and I would just wake up I would just wake up crying every day just sit up and like breathe and like bring myself together and one day they came they took me out of my body and they took me up and they said and they took me to a point where they're like this place in space and time they're like this is this is the juncture point or like the platform in Which

you chose to enter the SpaceTime experience on Earth and like attuned me to the feeling as a soul of like when I chose to enter to the SpaceTime experience and then they showed me all of my Incarnation simultaneously like a topic graphic map of energy it's the only way I could describe it and I would be aware of like one series of incarnations just like just in Japan and all the samurai Karma and all the lessons and all the feelings And all the the shame and the rage and the the the the vows and the

ethos and all like I could and I would like zoom over here and I would see North America and like it was absolutely overwhelming and they were like all those incarnations are for this one all of that is for this and you're going to be calling back to you the things that still serve and you're going to be clearing the karma that doesn't serve and you're going to go back and you're Going to clean up all of these incarnations in your lifetime so that you can achieve what you came here to do and so it

completely reoriented everything and that when I came back I like Shook and laughed and cried for like 30 minutes like a full kind of Kundalini type experience and then after that I could perceive the akashic records and I could perceive Karma and karmic challenges in Souls so I could literally look at a soul and be like oh This is like what you're working on in this lifetime or how old of a soul they were or where they come from and like and that was really over com too I didn't like ask for that I wasn't

like I want to see people's you know was like here it is and uh and then also it was disorienting for me because my timelines would bleed over and I'd be like walking down New York like a New York City street and see a group of people and I would reach for my Katana and there Would be no Katana and then like at the time I was doing this pilgrimage and and I remember like waking up in the morning getting up and I'd be like where's my orange robes why do I have all this these

belongings like like disoriented you know so I was and and and yeah so like those other incarnational experiences were kind of bleeding into me and that took about a year to stabilize where I would I wouldn't like blip into another timeline Simultaneously and I had to heal some very specific karmic stuff that was actually very rooted in spiritual lineage but was no longer serving me in this age like P like very yogic renunciate stuff like I needed to like learn how to make money and participate in society and not just be like a a sadu

and so I had to look at all these like Indian incarnations where I like left the World Behind and became a monk and all these incarnations where I would just literally go between being a monk and being a warrior being a monk and then a warrior Monk and then a monk and War like the like crazy battle energy and the Deep Stillness of the Asam or the cave or the monastery and then back on the battlefield and so a lot of that year after that experience was about cleaning up a lot of that stuff do

you think that you're coming back next time and if not where would you go uh um so in 2014 I was shown that I could come back and enjoy the fruits of my labor and like be born in one of these Eco Villages like a kid like consciously conceived and like come and enjoy the fruits of my labor in this Dimension or I could or it could be my last one that I'll have that option time now you also had an nde when you were like four years old can you briefly share that with us

yeah that I mean that was really really really really intense Um so I had some a fever and they put me on an antibiotic that I was allergic to and I went into anilic shock so I just remember watching TV in my parents room like shaking and shivering from the fever and feeling really really really really really really unsafe in my body and disoriented and then next thing I know I was like my breathing was shutting down and then I like I was gone and um it's kind of like I I met my overso But

I had no context for it it was just like I was safe I was home I knew myself as a as a soul and not a like child or a human being or any like there was and you're four you're not even fully developed cognitively yet like you don't have an identity so I was like oh even less of an yeah so but it was also very disorienting so I came back and then I remember you know being rushed to the hospital and then pumped with with with Uh steroids and you know my I remember

empath my mother's shame guilt confusion grief my dad's you know how they were interact I was just like it was almost like when I came back I became more hypervigilant with my surroundings um and I just remember being really disoriented for like a while as a as a four-year-old of like and I would I would kind of wake up each day like what am I doing here like just kind of like where am I who am I what am I doing here and then I would kind of oh I just went through that thing and

but the but there was a continuity of like that unsafety in my body that I experienced of like the sickness and like what happened to my physical vessel from being in an analectic shock um yeah and then you know at five your cognitive brain turns on and you start to like have your first wave of like more Individuation and I think I just kind of brush it onto the rug I was just like I'm just not going to think about that anymore and then I went into a different set of challenges as a 5-year-old but

that's my memory is as best I could access it yeah so do you feel pretty good about taking on this barred archetype at this point in your life and if so where are you going with it I love it I love it I mean I love mythology I Love Culture I want um I can Only do so many sessions one-on-one with people in like group Retreats but with music and storytelling I can touch I can touch a lot of people I can plant seeds of Consciousness and awareness I can people can relate to my journey

you know there's elements of my human Journey that if I were to just even share a human like not like I'm talking about this stuff because I'm assuming that this audience is very open to Mystical phenomena and psychic things and you Know uh you know this is wouldn't be a conversation I would have on a different podcast right and if I were to just relate to other human beings from just my Human Experience of like you know relationship or you know uh health challenges or whatever the things that I like there's I can relate to

anybody you know part of it's growing up in New York City part of it's like just all the crazy Stuff that's happened to me throughout my life I'm extremely resilient and I've overcome a lot and so I find that a lot of people we find our threat of connection and they can really relate to me based on the thread of connection that we have and as a barard that's a really important thing to have to be to be able to take story mythology cultural Frameworks of reality and sew sew those realities into the morphogenetic field

because we're given some really crappy Narratives about what's happening and what's going to happen and and and the most important thing we can do as beings right now in this particular Junction of time especially over the next two years is reorient our narrative towards the world that we know is possible and not the one that's being defined for us and not having our imagination our Attention our energy be siphoned towards you know towards one of those narratives but the narratives that are That come from our multi-dimensional nature that come from deep within our soul and

and as a Bard I have the the great fortune and honor to do that more playfully to find a masterful way of doing that to translate to the masses and to just actually give myself permission for probably in the first time of my life of the last few years to be in more joy and like to actually have fun with my creative process and doing that instead of being so stoic as I had Been previously to my NDA which was very serious spiritual person very stoic you know I worked with a lot of native Elders

who were just like you just close your mouth and you sit up and you pray and this is how spirituality works and you know martial art ages where you don't you know so for me like being a Bart is fun now like I have enough confidence and Clarity of who I am that I can just it feels really satisfying to Inspire people I'm assuming you were raised Jewish I was actually uh raised Roman Catholic oh okay see I was my mother 's Irish Italian and Scottish and my dad's Ukrainian ashkanazi Jew so it's it's a

healthy assumption but I mean Cohen is a very very Jewish last name it's like a high priest class so um my grandfather was actually adopted and I reclaimed the Cohen name I was raised with a Jewish different Jewish last name and I was Like the one you know Jewish kid in a Roman Catholic you know uh uh what's the word uh or like a S I forget the Catholic word for it um Parish that was we were the Jewish Family in the in the Catholic parish and then I was like one of two white kids

on the basketball team so I've always like been like an odity wherever I am um I don't feel super connected to my Judaism I never have but I I understand the trauma the trauma really well like all The victimization and all that and you know I've done a lot of work to heal myself from from my uh from some of the more challenging sides of the Jewish Heritage well what was the transition like moving from being Roman Catholic or at least you know growing up with that type of teaching to where you are now I

had a I mean I was obsessed with Egypt starting from seven years old when I was 8 years old I told my parents hey I'm 8 years old you need to send me to The shallon temple they're like what are you talking about I'm like yeah eight Shon Temple and they're like did you watch a movie I was like no I'm eight let's go so there's some kind of innate Soul memory so my dad put me into a YMC karate and I came back and I was like this will not do and then he found

me like a legit Aikido Dojo so I was always like really drawn to the Asian martial arts to Chinese Gung Fu culture and um and then when I had my healing crisis at 22 so I lost my brother-in-law on 911 and that was part of where my my real spiritual initiation started um I was also reading costan and eating mushrooms at 14 so I had a lot of pattern interruptions from conventional thinking pretty early on and my parents were Old Hippie so my dad had like yeah he had cated books lying around he had um

one of my favorite books by Vernon uh something this was like the Mystic path of cosmic power and that that book like Completely changed my life and then um I think I read like a book one of drum drum students when I was like a junior in college was all about like Rebirth of breathing in baby and then so I have this like healing crisis when I'm 22 my body shuts down I go from being this agile martial artist and competitive athlete to basically walking with a cane overnight and a lot of it was the

accumulated grief of losing my brother-in-law some of it was my Lifestyle I was I was definitely abusing substances to cope with uh a ton of trauma that I didn't even know I had plus the most recent trauma with 911 and my body gave out I manifested like a spinal injury and a bunch of other things and so one day I was drinking tea uh and I entered the living Stillness for the first time of the universe had a memory of being a DST hermit in past life and like that part of my soul woke up

saw where my soul had been the Background my whole life up until that point so that's really where I'd say my Incarnation really started in Soul awareness and I came back with what the yogis call Moka which is like a burning desire for enlightenment and that experience trumped every psychedelic experience every Flow State through basketball and martial arts it was absolute time presence and as a neurod Divergent I was like it's really phenomenal when your Mind turns off as a neurode Divergent time when you're always thinking and identifying with your thoughts and I was just

like whoa this is what I've been looking for my whole life a week later I'm given a copy of autobiography of a yogi and I'm like oh my God it's the same boba in this other book I read when I was like you know a junior and I'm like synchronicity and I I just I just completely get activated by that book and I I graduate college and I go right To India and I never look back and that was that was 20 years ago so what did you do in India I studied yoga and I

went on a temple Bender with two German friends I met in my yoga teacher training my first first half of the trip I met that these Mystics I received SAS I met so when I was reading autobiography of a yogi I didn't know anyone else one else that was living that lifestyle so when you talk about like how was that transition out of like Roman Catholicism and like conventional thinking you know most people graduate college and they try to get a job or an internship I went on two job interviews and I was like I'm

going to India this is this is BS um and so um yeah so when I was out there when I was reading autobiography of Yogi being introduced to this whole framework of reality and this whole you know spiritual lineage I didn't know anyone living this way I didn't know anyone who was even Meditator and except for the my childhood babysitter my mom's best friend daughter uh joala she was literally in a hamalian cave under the tutelage of her Guru why I'm reading this book so sure enough like my family tells their family like he's going

to India Julie's there you should connect them and so I get to varasi which is like this very ancient city with the the ganji on it where there's tons of you know just thousands of years of History It's been renamed B binaris all these different names I go to email her at a at a internet cafe she sitting behind me going to email me and so we reunite for the first time as two adults he hasn't seen me since I'm maybe like 11 or 12 or something and now I'm like 20 22 or something or

23 20 yeah 22 uh yeah 22 and um and we have this phenomenal you know synchronicity and then I meet her Guru and he gives me a name after two days And like dude he never gives anybody names you have to sit with him for a year and he just gave me a name on the second day and that's that name I I said i' like go when I went back to Luke that I carried for 12 years so I was just I was fully seeker and so this is a cool story because I discovered

all these amazing books like Jesus lived in India and the Lost Years of Jesus like there was all these like cool Yogi Jesus books and obviously he's mentioned a lot in Autobiography of a yogi and so I start looking into that and I get obsessed with Jesus was a yogi like oh my God you know like oh my God that I grew up on is a yogi and so I come back and I go to church with my mom and I'm looking and I'm like oh my God there's all the there he's in like all

these buddhic Buddhist yogic teaching mudas and I'm like it's real I'm like it's real mind you I come back with a Jesus beard look like Jesus And I'm eating with my hands to the horror of everyone in my family and like all my friends think I lost my mind so I I was there for like a year you know just studying with as many Master beings as I could possibly be graced enough to find it's fascinating that the pictures and the paintings of Jesus is portraying him in these mudra these mudra poses yeah yeah I

mean that was like it's real it's real that was like my confirmation that it was real when I Saw that like in the actual Roman Catholic context and looking at them so part of part of my work is uh I go to Sacred sites either with groups or just with a close friend but I get guided to go to Sacred sites I've been doing it for the last since 201 I started being literally assigned to go to these sites and last year I went to the bz like the most ancient Byzantine sites in Italy where

the East Roman uh church was and and there was Some mystical stuff out there um and I didn't know this that that kind of Rome split into East and West and the West was kind of like Atlantis went power over and was using religion and Catholicism to like control their population and the East was like deep in the Mysteries and the christic Angelic and like I went into this church and there was merkabas all over ceiling like full on maos and my buddy that I was traveling with had a full Past life recollection of who

he was as like an East Roman Bishop in the Byzantine like right in that Tipping Point and so he went to the place that he built in that past life and it was like kind of holding space for his you know reconciliation uh because I he's like hasn't had a lot of that phenomena and he knows that I have had a lot of like integrating past life experience he's like I want you to come on you know I'll pay for your trip just let's go to The I'm like sounds great cuz I want I was

on an ancestral program AG already and uh my Italian ancestors come from the Po River Valley so I was like I need to go to North Italy so it lined up perfectly and I got to visit domond her and which I always wanted to go to and yeah it was it was a pretty pretty wild to discover like oh yeah even in Rome like not everyone was bad like just like we're in an echo of Rome right now in the US like there's Mystics there people That were trying to preserve the Mysteries amidst the power

over structures and like it just kind of gave me a nice contrast of like oh yeah this is like this is the echo of how timelines repeat themselves and we feel the reverberations of it and it was a cool reminder that just because we're inside of a Roman Empire right now doesn't mean that we can't be Mystics preserving the Mysteries with all your travels and all The things that you've experienced what advice can you give us to lead happier and healthier lives get support to to do the trauma work you know like Mystic pH PHA

and spirituality is beautiful and we can have countless mystical experiences um the juice is in meeing our fundamental shared humanity and that is in in the trauma and it wasn't until I had that breakup in that sort of out of body experience that I got to really Like have to reconcile with the reality of how much trauma I had I was very you know I thought I was a spiritual teacher then and I don't even self-identify with that anymore but there was like a lot of masks that prevented me from being in touch with my

Humanity I was very like in the etheric and in the multi-dimensional and I wasn't really here and here is where the juice is and here is where you're needed and so whatever is preventing you from being Here fully fully in relationship with other beings fully living your purpose the one of the most effective ways to do that is to commit to Healing your trauma and we're not meant to do that in a vacuum we're meant to do it in connection we're meant to do it with support and as we heal heal our trauma we unlock

our DNA that's the interesting reality is that when you heal your trauma you get more of your superpowers you get more of your Soul's energy back You create space in your body for your soul to Incarnate and everything that's being pumped out in the world right now a lot of the Technologies and a lot of the sort of grids that are being set up are meant to impact negatively our DNA and a lot of it's about manipulating trauma and suppressing it and controlling people through their trauma so the more that you free up your trauma

the less controllable you are the less you can be infiltrated in this sort of Spiritual evolutionary moment in time this is like some of the most important work we can do earlier you're mentioning the different planetary systems that provided us with chakras you know like the pleadians and the Orion Etc have you had any UFO or contacts with non-human intelligences yeah from from very early on I mean the first UFO sting I was in uh we were in New Hampshire on on vacation and like everyone just like green full ship uh flew over um most

of The phenomena I I've experienced um and this is a really important distinction that there are higher dimensional beings which can get access to us if our vibration is high enough or we're in a receptive enough State um and it's you know throughout history you've had oracles you've had you know kind like like we could spend a whole episode talking about Egypt and the haor and you know how much interplanetary like we we once Participated in the the galactic civilizational reality like where all these pyramids come from like all of our history has been distorted

and Rewritten so um we've been interfacing with multi-dimensional beings and Intergalactic beings since the dawn of time um so I want to minimize the phenomena of it in the sense of that the less I think awe is beautiful but to not let it be Shocking um is important to reorient as a collective because a lot of the fear being projected out like there are the ones that come physically are often mevolent because they're in like in order to enter third density in form like you have your vibration can and a lot of those beings that

are me that want to assist us they don't intervene at the way that the denser off-planet beings are intervening right Now there's big agendas for planet Earth that are trying to be thwarted right now and so all the higher dimensional beings will Empower you to be more empowered they want you to be the best version of yourself and so they give information they'll give Transmissions of frequency it's more spiritual it's not physical the one or two phenomena I had with higher dimensional beings that were physical was I was taken up into an octarian Light ship

when I was going through a really big initiation once and it was one of the most soothing comfortable supportive experience that I've had of that phenomena where I was aware of my bed being in my bed in my physical body but in my astral body I was getting calibrated up on the ship and it was like I've achieved this through yogic breathing a few times where almost like the blend of the inhale and the exhale start to bleed into the third phase Where we actually go through a third phase that where the breath transitions into

the other breath and it was like I was in that limal space and I was being filled with so much prano so much life or so much chi in my light body that it was like one of the most amazing Sensations I've ever had in this life around the breath like the feeling of being breathed by the universe kind of feeling but concentrated into my like light body so That was one experience I had with the octarians and then the other one was um I was with a friend so like you can't be like oh

you're crazy because I was with another being and we were going to Sedona and a full light ship fractal like showed itself to us like over like this red white red light like on the way down from black stop it was just like and we both like grabbed each other like what like it just like it was like there and then it was gone like full cloaking Device kind of thing and that so those are like the two I think most benevolent versions I have had a lot of malevolent ones when I was younger my

mother was bip bipolar and Border personality and I think there's there's actually being that that came through her her trauma body at times when I was very young um because a lot of people if they're if you know are compromising these kind of off Planet things can come through their energy field just like if you talk about Like certain subjects in forums or in groups and they're not open to those ideas they can kind of Click over to like an agent Smith and be like what are you talking about it's not like this it's like

that you know like just the way that like we can other people that have certain trauma and if they work with a lot of medicine and they're not grounded they can be open channels for other things to come through and that's a phenomenon a lot of people don't track And then also thing to be be very aware of and I will say to this community some of the conspirator videos are intentionally imbued with etheric implants that will hook into your field and start to bring you into a lower vibration so that you start to create

those timelines with your etheric body and your energy and your attention so if a video or a transmission or a teaching makes to feel lighter inspired tapped in turned on it's probably correct if you Start to go down in vibration even if it appears very spiritual even if it appears very informed notice how you feel and it's the same thing with all phenomena in in the ET realm if you feel you know aligned and you're getting this love frequency and you're hearing that me like trust the message like let let the Resonance of the vibration

of love and frequency be your you're deterent or you know yeah anyway that's that feels Really for whatever reason that came through that was important to sh I think that's good advice what do you think's going to be going on with our planet in the near future what lens do you want whatever you want to share the one that's most exciting for me right now so again I've been around a lot of native peoples for a long time they have a lot of prophecies for this time and those prophecies intersect with other cultures like the

end of the kuga The Aquarian age the the Hy Prophecies of entering the fifth Sun so I think there's going to be a simultaneous sort of bifurcation if you will where there's going to be these hubs of what I call regena culture which is regenerative culture and an artistic Renaissance combined so like the businesses that we're doing the art that we're making all of it is is fully life affirming it's no longer in this Anti-life Paradigm we're actually learning how to cooperate cooperate collaborate uh effectively we move through enough of our base level ancestral trauma

that we can actually have healthy arguments that we can work through and not just Splinter apart right so there's a whole section of the culture and the society and the world that is will be working with more free energy type things uh frequency devices like tons of cool technology that's very Um symbiotic with our with our biology uh simultaneously you'll you'll see the old world even like like a fever getting worse I mean we see it right now we have evidence for everything being worse but I've seen both I I I go to the places

and I see the regenerative projects and I see the technology I've seen the disruptors I've seen people heal I've seen the other phenomena and it's coming and so both worlds are kind of simultaneous right now now what's Happening in the prophecies right now is considered the purification stage so a lot of people in the regener movements a lot of people in the Consciousness movements um they're already projecting that we're entering the renewal phase and that's not quite here yet the renewal phase is where we get to implement all those kinds of Technologies in Mass we're

not quite there right now it's a purification page the purification stage is where you know We're going to see more you know uh climate crisis we're going to see more uh you know quote unquote bad things happening that um you know could evidence to something really negative but it's kind of like a fever you gota you gotta kind of you kind of let the body run its course a little bit right so it's really important to not create too much negative association or negative meaning to what's happening and to hold true to that to the

higher Vision of what we know is possible and to like really stay to feed that particular timeline because there's a golden timeline where we get on board where our future ancestors selves have already seated the the ancestral memory in our in our souls to follow that synchronicity to bring us into that timeline where these things are preserved um but the bifurcation of that is the next two years we enter What's called the the rise of the sleeping Phoenix in human design which is a a genetic mutation in the collective and this genetic mutation according to

Raw means that all the children born after 2027 are going to have a lot more of their centers defin they're going to have a new center in their in their Aura the type of children and there'll be no more manifestors on the planet so the particular beings that created the old Industrial Age and the colonial age World a lot of Them were manifestors and then generators came so he kind of spells out the different kind of profile types or energy types that shape the world and there's a new energy type coming and for the collective

it's the shift from external authority to Inner Authority is the is the is the collective process so in human design I have a a particular Channel that's called the mother of all ways that tracks individual tribal and Collective themes emotionally Energetically spiritually and so the collective theme is going to show up differently and I'm very fascinated and and very uh passionate about where our individual Journey affects our tribe and then where our tribal Journey affects the collective and vice versa right like where's that interplay and so basically in 2027 we see a breakdown of systems

that will pattern interrupt our Reliance on external author Authority and be forced to go Inward and claim our own Inner Authority so that's the good news because if more people are living according to their inner Authority then we can start to actually get in alignment uh and unfortunately the purification period is about disillusioning that the savior is outside that these government governing bodies you know uh are not not mommy and daddy and mommy and daddy's inside Soul God you know uh so yeah a lot of disillusionment for a lot of folks but um but necessary

purification after watching this podcast people may want to reach out to you and ask you more questions are you up for that absolutely yeah I have a free community where I give two Transmissions a month uh I do healing work with people I want to remain accessible like even if I get you know get bigger I I I still will always have a free community so that people Can't afford to work with me oneon-one or join Retreats or anything like there will always be a version of me accessible Instagram and I have music I'm really

to laugh in these crazy times before we wrap it up can you give us one More positive message yeah thank you thank you thank you for your your just your Delight in these conversations I see why you do this and I really appreciate your platform and and this interview with you I really felt the spaciousness to share the truth and the my authentic experience that I've had you know um and then to all the open-minded listeners out there that are open to these kinds of phenomena um yeah the positive thing that I could say Around

this is that you know when we when we get into the the healing work and we take self- responsibility it's it's super empowering and when it's amazing what can change in our reality when we change the belief when we heal something that has been in the background that we haven't known has been pulling on our energy or pulling us down it's like our view of the world can can completely change and I think that a lot of what's out there in social media A lot of what's out there in news a lot of what's out

there in media it's designed to bring us down and so you know the good news is the more that you start to commit to that work the more you'll attract epic people into your life epic opportunities and you'll start to have the confirmation bias that it's going to go the right direction as opposed to all going to there's a lot of evidence that's going to go to as I said and so yeah follow the spiritual Synchronistic breadcrumbs as I like to say and uh I'll I'll end with a quote from sh rasar because we talked

about Yogananda and the yog he said um you know uh commit to your spiritual path and everything else is coming from that everything else fully commit and everything else will come Luke thank you for your message and thank you for being my guest an honor yeah really grateful thanks for watching the Jeff Mara podcast I really appreciate you Another way to show support is through YouTube memberships and if you do there are loyalty Badges and other perks depending on your level of membership all you need to do is click the join button underneath the video
