Why do people have metaphysical and mystical experiences? This new series sets out to answer that question. Welcome to the introductory episode. We’re inviting you to be an active part of this exploration as we delve into the purpose of these experiences and what they tell us about humanity’s future and potential. We seek answers to this question from ancient wisdom traditions as well as modern science. Listen in as we focus on the role and meaning of metaphysical and mystical experiences from varying perspectives, across a broad range of human experience and ways of knowing.

Many modern-day mystics have been in the closet. It’s easy to understand why scientists have chosen not to talk openly about spiritual experiences, but what about spiritual leaders? Pastors? And what about the everyday folks on main street or sitting in the pews of those churches? Where do we go to navigate this fascinating terrain, share transpersonal, metaphysical, and mystical experiences to better understand the evolution of consciousness? Join Drs. Julie Krull and Paul Mills as they set out to “normalize the non-ordinary” and open the closet door.

Have you ever wondered, “Who am I? Why am I here? Where did I come from? Where am I going when I leave and how do I get there?” Our guest today, an internationally recognized authority on human spiritual potential, transformation, and ascension, says the quest to answer these questions triggers our natural spiritual abilities for transformation and evolution, both as individuals and as a species. Transformation leads to a sense of wholeness, holiness, and completion that changes our bodies, raises us beyond human, and enables us to “walk with the angels” in the sacred realms. This is ascension. Join us for this riveting conversation.

We’ve all had them . . . those mystical glimpses into the consciousness beyond our five senses. In a sacred moment, a flash of truth or taste of grace moves through us. Our world expands and something is revealed, illuminated, felt. We go back to our daily lives, yet something essential has changed. Transcendent experiences like these are becoming so increasingly common that it makes sense to finally claim and honor the next level of consciousness we’re expanding into. Sharing grounded wisdom and our intimate encounters with this greater reality, the Common Sentience book series open hearts, affirms our innate essence, and transforms our world. Rev. Ariel Patricia joins us to talk about our sacred stories and why it’s important that we share them now.

“By attuning our hearts to love, we can connect to our Higher Self, open to our angels, and awaken as evolving citizens of the universe,” says Tricia McCannon, author of Angels. What does that mean, really? Join us for a fascinating conversation where we explore the spiritual wisdom and scientific insights around angels with Tricia and subtle energy researcher, Tiffany Jean Barsotti, Ph.D.. We’ll explore how to access this real human potential and what angels can teach us about the true nature of reality and our place in it?

Mystical, transpersonal, and metaphysical experiences are often described as beautiful, magical, life-changing events that enhance our lives in positive ways. But sometimes a spiritual experience can turn into a spiritual emergency or worse, a psychotic break. As a young adult, our guest, Patricia Muehsam, M.D., found herself locked in a psychiatric ward after talking about her own spiritual experiences. Now, a pioneer in the synthesis of science, holistic health, and contemporary spirituality, Dr. Muehsam has a groundbreaking book, Beyond Medicine: A Physician’s Revolutionary Prescription for Achieving Absolute Health and Finding Inner Peace.

Imagine if we all knew for certain there was something more than this world and this single lifetime, and that God exists, and that we are loved beyond measure by God.” What would our world be like if we all had transpersonal, metaphysical, and mystical experiences? And what if we could share these Spiritually Transformative Experiences with others. Would it create a global spiritual revolution? What would it tell us about humanity’s potential and future? Join Drs. Julie Krull and Paul J. Mills with their guest, author John Audette, as they explore whether mystical experiences can catalyze a spiritual revolution.

As a physical embodiment of life force energy, nature can serve as a tangible representation with which we can connect to those unseen, interdimensional, high-vibrational allies for insight, wisdom, healing, guidance, inspiration, protection, and more. Open to the sentient world you are part of and connect more deeply with your divine nature through nature itself. Join two fascinating experts, Ana Maria Vasquez and Dr. Rajnish Khanna, as we explore the ancient wisdom of nature.

DESCRIPTION: Did you know there are real and cumulative spiritual benefits of meditation? Mystical experiences, different states of consciousness, heightened awareness, guidance, inspiration, and awakening experiences are just a few. Sometimes meditation induces the profound and unimaginable, and sometimes a prolonged practice fundamentally changes you. Sister Dr. Jenna, author of Meditation, says: “This is what happens when you consistently meditate. You are inspired to become increasingly kind, generous, loving, and less dictated by the ego. It happens subtly over time, like a rose blooming inside you, eventually sharing its fragrance with anyone who comes in contact with you.” In this episode of Mainstreet Mystics, we explore meditation and ask two experts the bigger questions: what insights do we have from ancient wisdom traditions, modern science, and lived experience, and why do people have transpersonal, metaphysical and mystical experiences as a result of meditation?

Signs. What are they? How do they show up? And what do they teach us about humanity’s future and potential? Award-winning author, Simran, is gifted at reading signs and symbols, revealing how repetitions, coincidences, and synchronicities are part of our personal conversation with the Universe. Esteemed scientist, Dr. Cassandra Vieten, has spent decades researching such phenomenon. Together, in this riveting episode of Mainstreet Mystics, our guests take us on a fascinating journey exploring signs and our ongoing, personal relationship with the Universe.

When you think about “healing,” what do you imagine? Does something leap in your heart or stir in your soul? For many healers, the most profound cases are when the veils between heaven and earth dissolve and the designing intelligence of the universe steps in. During healing, sometimes the physical and spiritual worlds unexpectantly come together and transcended all rational knowing and expectations. With our guests, Oscar Miro-Quesada Solevo and Dr. Shamini Jain, we explore today’s shaman, who leaves new footprints on paths of psychic awareness and spiritual wisdom that are more than 70,000 years old. Shamanism is a tradition of healing, power, and wisdom that sees all life as interconnected and sacred. The process of shamanic awakening is as vast as the universe itself. Physical and spiritual worlds blend with one another, and the shaman’s path lies in attaining a life of harmony with both.

Sound is a fascinating thing. It can change our mood, heal our bodies, lower and raise our blood pressure, and induce altered states of consciousness. It can even heal the planet and birth life into form. We are so honored to have sound experts, Drs. J.J. and Desiree Hurtak, with us in this episode to explore our profound experiences with sound, vibration, and frequencies.

Spirit animals appear in our lives in a variety of ways from real life encounters, to dreams and mystical experiences. Our guests today will explain how these profound encounters affirm our intimacy with the animal world and the realm of Spirit. Are you open to receive gifts of wisdom, guidance, protection, comfort, support, power, and even healing? We’re going to learn how to experience the magic of Spirit Animals and hopefully you will even marvel at physics and consciousness and what these kinds of stories can teach us in everyday life.

Professional credibility. Have you ever had your credibility challenged, particularly by sharing the truth of your real-life lived experience? Many scientists and academics have been forced to live very separate personal and professional lives, for fear of their professional credibility being challenged and even losing their jobs and reputation, or worse. Hopefully, all of that is beginning to change. The Universe may be up to something! Two books about the spiritual lives of scientists were published just three months apart. Neither award-winning author knew the other or that they were writing their books. Join co-host, Dr. Paul J. Mills, author of Science, Being and Becoming: The Spiritual Lives of Scientists, and guest, Dr. Marjorie Woollcott, author of Spiritual Awakenings: Scientists and Academics Describe Their Experiences, as we explore this important topic!

In these times of transition—”the dawning of a new sun”—the ancestors are here working hard to maintain balance and harmony in the world. Ancestors mean more than simply generations of ancestors who have come before us. Humanity is the youngest of all our ancestors. What does this mean? Author, Mindahi Bastida, explains, “We are not alone, and we have never been alone. Our ancestors are speaking to us, watching us, and guiding us. When you go to a place where you really feel that connection, you need to follow your feelings and let that connection unfold. You can then receive what is meant to be received by your body, your soul, and your spirit.” Join us with Bastida, and integrative family physician, Dr. Joe Tafur, and we explore Ancestors, and what they teach us about humanity, our future, and our potential.

Marilyn Alauria says that our guides have purposes that are big, limitless, infinite, and constantly growing. They know what our soul is here to do and have wisdom that we don’t have access to yet. Guides help us access the wisdom within ourselves—to grow, learn, open to possibilities, and live in alignment with and reflect the truth of our souls. But guides may be more than you imagine. Join our guests, author Marilyn Alauria, and Tibetan medical doctor, Tawni Tidwell, in this riveting conversation about our personal guidance.

Season Two Mainstreet Mystics

In Season Two we go deeper, wider and farther into the evolution of consciousness during these revolutionary times to explore the new structures, abilities, understandings, and ways of being. We ask:

  • What are the emerging innate and evolutionary capacities?
  • How do we navigate during this evolutionary time of transition?
  • And, how do we transcend to the next level of functioning and find the courage to do so?

What does the Universe want us to know and what are we capable of knowing? These questions are the crux of this first conversation in a series of three with author Chris Bache. He writes, “When the shell of the private mind dissolves, experience opens to a landscape so vast it’s hard to find the right words to describe it—the Mind of the Universe, the Cosmic Mind, the Great Expanse. One falls into it, explodes into it, melts into it, sometimes cataclysmically, sometimes so gently it feels like the most natural thing in the world.” In this episode we explore all things “future human” as we seek to understand the mind of the Universe.

Chris Bache takes us on a journey exploring what he calls the Diamond Light and the Diamond Soul. He writes, “Light has always been recognized as a signature of the Divine. It is a universal constant in our spiritual traditions—a vast radiance fusing all knowledge, love, and power. Mystics attest to it; those who have nearly died attest to it.” When his journey took him deeper into an exquisite, seamless Field of Light, he explained how the light completely saturated his life: “The Light penetrated every cell of my being and all the earthly forms around me. We all breathed this Light. We are this Light. All our experience is seamless Light.” Join us in this riveting conversation and learn about the Diamond Soul.

What if a much larger cosmic perspective could point us to our emerging evolutionary capacities? In our first conversation with Chris Bache, we talked about the future human. In the second, we explored the mind of the universe. Now, in this third conversation we focus on the integration of Chris’ experience and learnings, and harvest what it can teach us about our breakdowns and breakthroughs during this historical time of transformation on the planet. His unique experience and perspective can teach us to be co-evolutionary partners with life.

In this episode, Dr. Christina Donnell guides us on a journey that reminds us of our true connection to All That Is. A mystic she is, yet her real-life stories are blood and bone, wind, and soil! Her true story of profound awakening to intelligent creative consciousness, is also a great adventure story with profound meaning. Language not only represents worldly phenomena but also deepens our sense of connection to the whole of creation. Join us as we surrender into the power of words.

Neale Donald Walsch, author of GodTalk, writes, “what if God is communicating with all of us all the time, even when we’re not actively seeking such a conversation?” In this episode of Mainstreet Mystics, we explore this idea and what our conversations tell us about our dormant, emerging, and evolutionary capacities. What do our conversations with God teach us about being co-evolutionary partners with Life? And, what does God say about the new structures, abilities, understandings, and ways of being on the planet right now? Join us for this revelatory and uplifting dialog.
