What if you could awaken to a deeper relationship with God?
Dimitri Moraitis answers that very question - After an extraordinary awakening, he shares his journey of deep transition from learning, to becoming a master teacher, to serve others in their own spiritual growth.
"In pursuing the spiritual path, you are both a scientist in the detail and attention you need to succeed and an artist in your creative expression of unfolding your soul’s potential..."
As co-founder of The Spiritual Arts Center with clairvoyant Barbara Y. Martin, Dimitri shares his passion for truth, bringing Eastern and Western Philosophies together, and the cycles of reincarnation, that brought us to where we are today.
This is an enlightening episode for the God Seeker in you.
About Dimitri Moraitis:
Co-founder and co-spiritual director of Spiritual Arts Institute, Dimitri has been instrumental in bringing Spiritual Arts Institute to the place it is today as a premier metaphysical school.
With Barbara, he is co-author of the international bestseller Change Your Aura, Change Your Life, Communing with the Divine, Karma and Reincarnation, The Healing Power of Your Aura and their newest book Heaven and Your Spiritual Evolution (release date, October 2021). He is an eloquent speaker on a wide variety of spiritual topics, has lectured across the country, appeared on numerous radio shows and leads the workshops and training classes offered at the Institute with Barbara.
Years later, Barbara and Dimitri broke new ground with the publication of Change Your Aura Change Your Life, first in a series of mystical writings. This led to their founding Spiritual Arts Institute and Dimitri becoming a spiritual teacher. At first supporting the encyclopedic wisdom of Barbara, now through his own spiritual connection, Dimitri is an illumined teacher contributing new inspiration to the spiritual wisdom in books, workshops and course materials.
Originally trained in motion pictures and television, Dimitri was pursuing a promising career in directing and producing, having received an Academy Award nomination for his film short Don’t Let It Bother You.
When he was twenty-five, Dimitri had a profound spiritual awakening that changed his life. About a year later, he met Barbara at a dinner party and knew that night Barbara was the spiritual teacher he had to study with.
Barbara trained Dimitri in metaphysics as well as getting him involved in her spiritual mission. Following the mystery school lineage tradition, Barbara saw in him the person who was meant to help her bring the Kingdom of Light Teachings to the world and lead the spiritual mission beyond her tenure. Dimitri realized this was his spiritual purpose and redirected his life’s work to pursue the path of metaphysics.

Faced with challenges such as Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Amaurosis, and colitis, John turned adversity into opportunity, discovering that his unique perspective could be a source of inspiration for himself and those around him.

How can men find their way in a world that rejects traditional male role models as "toxic?"
Leadership Development Coach and host of the True Freedom podcast, Bodhi Aldridge joins me on Awakened Nation to help men of all ages get in touch with true masculinity.
Author of Visionary Male Leaders, Bodhi has dedicated his life to deeper meaning, helping CEOs, men in their 40, 50s and 60s, get unstuck, to live far more meaningful lives.
"Men want to fee freedom, while women want to feel connection...it's why men root for their favorite football team, or look for that one man to look up to."
A Visionary Male Leader himself, Bodhi brings us a much needed conversation to Awakened Nation. We talk about the difference between Andrew Tate versus Jordan Peterson, modern masculinity and traditional archetypes.
www.freedomminicourse.com
https://bodhialdridge.com/
About Bodhi Aldridge:
Bodhi Aldridge is passionate about guiding male business owners and leaders around the globe to become more present, magnetic and self-aware leaders, husbands and fathers.
His journey as a father, a grandfather, a lawyer, a coach and facilitator has taken him across the world diving deep into traditional teachings and contemporary leadership development.
"What I know is… all men long for freedom. The problem is, none of us really understand what true freedom means. We think it’s something external - more money, more time or an endless summer…"
But true freedom comes from within.
Having worked with thousands of male business leaders and owners around the world for over 20 years, there are three main problems they want a solution to (even if they don’t know it yet):
1. Their Distracted Mind
2. Their Resistance to Life
3. Their Sense of Overwhelm
"The men I work with are basically me, 25 years ago. I had a loving marriage, 4 great kids, a thriving legal practice and a beautiful home. But in my efforts to build my business and family, I had lost touch with myself."
At 60, Bodhi has found a path to true freedom within. His obsession is to share this knowledge with as many men as possible and guide them to create a life of Freedom, Flow, Abundance, Impact and Joy... whilst more skillfully navigating the ups and downs of professional and personal life.
Bodhi spends time with his wife of 40 years and they live by the beach near Byron Bay, Australia; with 4 children and 10 grandchildren who keep them tapping into the pure joy and innocence that life can offer... traveling around the globe and his daily practices of surfing, yoga and music.

ABOUT JEREMY AYRES:
Co-Author of The Red Pill Revolution and a lifelong pursuer of truth in all aspects of the human experience, there are few conspiratory rabbit holes that Jeremy hasn't explored. This well-rounded perspective has provide him a rare and unique take on life and how we live it.
Jeremy sees clearly, the deception and manipulation found everywhere in modern life. Especially in the Medical Industrial Complex and their partners in the Pharmaceutical & Food industries.A trained Health Practitioner in the UK, Jeremy has helped thousands of people heal naturally from a variety of serious diagnoses, including his own wife Natalie who was terminally ill with cancer when they first met.
No subject is off-limits.
BACKGROUND:
International Natural Health Educator Jeremy Ayres was awarded Senior Practitioner of Physical Medicine (SBRCP) for his outstanding work. Originally trained as an Osteopath (DO).Jeremy later coined the new title NaturoPractic Consultant (NC), after realizing that his successful healing protocols combined the best of Chiropractic, Osteopathy & Naturopathy.
His life goal has been to bring forward the knowledge and wisdom of our elders, particularly the Eastern practices and traditional ways with Western scientific proof and collaborations, and return to a cohesive philosophy of healing for a very sick world.
He began training at The British School of Osteopathy in 1990, before moving to the Northern Counties School of Osteopathy, where he trained under Harry Hawes, the nationally esteemed osteopath. Harry was a healing genius who understood the classical philosophies and techniques.
After graduating in 1994, Jeremy studied naturopathy at The College of Natural Nutrition in Devon, under the genius, Barbara Wren. He moved to be mentored by Barbara, learning and gaining valuable insight into taking case histories and seeing dis-ease in all its manifestations and at all levels. He lectured in anatomy and physiology at The College of Natural Nutrition for two years.
Jeremy’s abilities and proven methods were eventually recognized and in 2013 he was given the title of Senior Practitioner of Physical Medicine by The British Register of Complimentary Practitioners (BRCPS ), now the International Register.
His knowledge allowed him to help heal his wife, Natalie, who was terminally ill when they met in 2013, and who had endured all the horrific rigors that modern oncology can offer.

An NHS Pharmacist in the UK (England), Graham Atkinson was tasked with the unwelcome responsibility of establishing and running a NHS COVID Vaccination Center that served his local population in 2020.
He watched as thousands walked through his door believing that they were receiving their ticket to freedom...when there was nothing further from the truth.
"I wasn't allowed to say anything to warn them of the possible side effects."
No longer capable of withholding information, Graham walked away. His story is one of extreme bravery and conviction for what is right and truthful.
With a high-ranking position and the education to be a credible witness to this global ruse, this is no conspiracy theory. This episode covers the culture of lies over the past 4 years, along with the profits and deceit that is driving our medical system leadership to a breaking point.This is Part 2 in this 3 Part Series.
ABOUT GRAHAM ATKINSON:In early 2020 Graham Atkinson was managing a large NHS General Practice in Northern England when the COVID pandemic halted everything and everyone in their tracks. It was from that capacity and perspective that he soon realized the deception and lies coming from our national leaders.
Graham Atkinson hates liars.
With over 30 years NHS experience behind him, he knew how the whole NHS system worked. He knew how the pharmaceutical industry worked. He could source and understand complex clinical research papers and understood hospital activity data.
Having served as a Clinical Pharmacist and a Board-Level Director in local, regional and national roles, he had the confidence to challenge the mainstream narrative with the actual facts. And it was not difficult to blow large holes in the mainstream corporate virus and vaccine narratives. It was very obvious to any neutral observer that the vast majority of patients were being disadvantaged and many harmed by the rationing of core NHS services in the pursuit of “zero COVID.”
Individually, Graham could easily find colleagues that would share their concerns and agree with his conclusions. But in groups, their views remained unspoken. In his profession, he was becoming an isolated voice and was asked to keep his views to himself. His health began to suffer. Then came the very unwelcome responsibility of establishing and running a NHS COVID Vaccination Center that served his local population. He watched as thousands walked through the door believing that they were receiving their ticket to freedom.
It was that experience that pushed Graham to the point where he was no longer willing to participate in what was being done in his name. He had tried his best to change things from the inside.
So he stopped participating and walked away.
“I know that some patients will have suffered and some will have been harmed due to the actions of the NHS in 2020 and 2021. I wish to apologize to the people of my community for any suffering and harm that has happened in my name.”
Graham’s passion and focus now is to help to build the future healthcare system that we all deserve. A system built on truth. One that allows all disciplines, knowledge and individuals that can deliver real and true healing to the communities they serve.
“I am delighted and humbled to be joining The Red Pill Revolution team in this quest at this critical time for all of us.”
Graham’s goal now is to be a magnet and inspiration for other professionals to contact and share their experiences and clear their consciences. These “Statements of Conscience” will published en masse on this very website, thus creating a worldwide collective that may very well serve to become future legal affidavits.
We will build back better. But we will build back better… without “them.”

When his wife came down with MS, John Gusty set out on a quest to learn the truth about health...a journey that awakened him to the distortion and lies that are pushed to assure that patients become indentured servants to the medical industry here in America.
What became even more apparent is this is a global issue.
"The first thing we did was eliminate sugars in our diet...especially invisible sugars." John goes onto explain the clues that lead him to the truth, and an even scarier conclusion.
John Gusty is the co-author of The Red Pill Revolution, and worked with doctors, pharmacists and other medical experts around the world to expose the medical fraud that has taken place over the past 3 years.

Part 3: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0qQCialxBbZltbh19TWV1E
About John Gusty:
Growing up, John Gusty saw the rest of his life as a rock star, playing out on stage with a guitar wrapped around his neck and an audience beckoning him to fame.
After 30 years of working in the music industry and seeing his peers rise to the top of big name acts like R.E.M, Nine Inch Nails, Gin Blossoms and U2, John realized his true calling lay behind the curtains.
John’s attention turned to alternative health when his wife’s diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis came with zero answers. Using his behind-the-scenes experience in media, he now works to address the most pervasive lies plaguing the health industry and modern media.
Today we are going to talk about the culture of lies, profit and deceit that is driving our medical system leadership to a breaking point.
Between the feelings of uneasiness we have scrolling through the news and the unbearable confusion we face when making important everyday decisions like what to eat or how to treat sickness, it is clear something is very wrong. John’s solution is to make the modern individual sovereign and capable of pursuing rational decisions within a chaotic world where people have unknowingly never been exposed to real food, water, and a truly natural environment.
