  • In this captivating episode, we dive deep with Alan Pierce, co-author of Coma and Near-Death Experience, to explore the mysterious world of comas and altered states of consciousness. Alan shares his groundbreaking research on the misuse of comas during the COVID-19 pandemic, revealing shocking insights into the long-term physical and cognitive damage many patients endure. What really happens when someone is in a coma? And how does it alter their perception of reality? Alan’s discoveries challenge conventional medical wisdom and shine a light on the often overlooked, vivid experiences of those who have hovered between life and death.

    We also tackle the age-old question of consciousness: Is it just a product of our brain, or could it exist beyond the physical? Alan takes us on a journey through the physiological changes in comatose patients and the mind-bending parallels between near-death experiences and mystical states induced by substances like DMT. Could these experiences be more than just the brain’s last hurrah? Tune in to hear Alan’s thoughts on the afterlife, the impact of prolonged sedation, and why he believes his book, Coma and Near-Death Experience, is a vital piece of work in understanding the human mind.

  • In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with CJ, a resilient soul who has journeyed through the highs and lows of life to find his true calling. Nearly fifty years ago, a traumatizing experience with a Carnegie Mellon art teacher led CJ to abandon his artistic talents. Simultaneously, coming to terms with his sexuality in his late teens resulted in him walking away from the Catholic Church and his faith. This double blow of rejection from both his artistic and spiritual worlds set CJ on a long path of healing and self-discovery. Years later, through the power of creativity, CJ found his way back to art and a belief in a Greater Power. His book, "The Spiritual Artist," serves as a testament to this journey, reminding readers to reconnect with Spirit through creative practice.

    In our conversation, CJ shares how creating art allows him to align fully with Spirit, discovering new facets of his unique Creative DNA. Drawing from his book, he delves into the elusive "zone" or "flow" state that many artists attribute to a Higher Power or Divine Guidance, and how you can tap into this state at will. Miller, an accomplished artist, speaker, and educator, offers innovative ideas and personal wisdom in each chapter, awakening your imagination and unlocking your potential. Whether you're raising children, starting a business, or working in the art studio, his motivational guidance and exercises promise personal development and spiritual growth. Join us as CJ's story reaffirms the power of healing, creativity, and the pursuit of one's Greater Purpose, and rediscover your innate creative power.

    About CJ Miller:

    Christopher John Miller (CJ) considers himself a lifelong Spiritual learner. After being raised Catholic, he left that faith and sought a more personal connection to a Greater Power (God). Chris has formulated a personal relationship with this Great Power based on the premise that God is in everything, and it's each person's task to seek God within and without through the Creative Process. He's written the book, "The Spiritual Artist," which guides readers into a more precise state of connection and produces a podcast by the same name in which he interviews artists and spiritual thought leaders. In addition, CJ holds yearly Spiritual Art Retreats where consciousness and art-making combine.
