Tim + I continue to deep-dive on the ROOT CAUSE of what we commonly refer to as "mental health" issues. (Tim is on TikTok: @mystic_timothy). We discuss: The "mental health" system deals with soul sickness The cycle of dependency created by The System, which is a business that doesn't understand energetics (and relies on "repeat customers" to keep the business running) Tim's NDE (or STE, "Spiritually Transformative Experience") and how the experience of witnessing his own death helped him learn to live The "halfway house" of religion, and how it also creates a cycle of "almost" feeling better Tim's journey to accept and love himself as gay (and Sam's perspective, worrying about people, not God) Ultimately, "coming to consciousness" is about accepting duality; letting things shift; not "being right" *** Please rate / review + follow / subscribe to this podcast to support my mission: to help seekers trust the Universe.
