He reflects on the true meaning of 'spiritual millionaire' and how we can heal our relationship to money and manifest effortlessly.

Inspirational speaker and author Kute Blackson lays the blueprint for learning how to surrender to life and in turn manifest your true purpose. He shares the power of surrender and how our childhood conditioning causes us to be divorced from our intuition and trust with life. He explains the different stages of surrender: from questioning, to accepting, to grieving; and provides actionable steps for going through this process yourself. Through the lens of his own personal experience, he shares the times that surrendering the vision he had for his career opened him up to something far greater than he could have ever imagined. With this in mind, he provides a clear lens on how to trust life's intelligence, face the facts when things aren't working out, and maintain a state of faith within the world's great tragedies.

Annaka Harris dives deep into some of the most profound and perplexing questions about the nature of consciousness, perception, free will, AI, and the underlying meaning of love and existence. Annaka begins by defining consciousness and exploring the "hard problem". She discusses neuroscientific insights into how the brain processes conscious experiences, and how our intuitions about the nature of the self and decision-making can often mislead us. The conversation then ventures into the realms of plant consciousness, the criteria for discerning whether something is truly conscious and capable of suffering, and the idea that consciousness may be a fundamental feature of the universe. She shares her personal experience with using meditation to transcend the illusory nature of the self.

Emerging from what he calls ‘a field of limitless light’ that lasted 3 days and 3 nights, Richard was entrusted with a sacred teaching – the wisdom of the Gene Keys. A born explorer, Richard has studied with great teachers in the East, traveled through the Himalayas, the Pacific, the Americas and the Arctic. Earning a Master’s Degree in metaphysics and literature from Edinburgh University, he went on to work in the film industry in Australia, trained as a teacher of Chi Kung in Thailand and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean on a small yacht. During this time he lived in Manhattan, Oregon and Hawaii before finally returning to the UK in 1998, where he met Marian his wife. Over the following years they had three children and moved to Devon in southern England. Throughout his adventures Richard has explored his love of writing and in 2006 he won the FISH international poetry award in Ireland. All Richard’s travels and studies coalesced into a synthesis in 2002 when he began to write and conceive the Gene Keys. It took seven years to write the book and understand its teachings and applications. Today Richard continues to expand the wisdom that he was gifted, remaining always a student of the Gene Keys while teaching all around the world. In 2019, Richard was named on the Watkins list of The 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People.

Richard Rudd, Founder of the Gene Keys, explains the guidance within them, and how to apply it to your every day life. The Gene Keys are a grand synthesis of practical wisdom to help guide you to a deeper understanding of yourself and your true potential. Your profile reveals to you an opportunity for inner transformation, through understanding your strengths and limitations.

Emerging from what he calls ‘a field of limitless light’ that lasted 3 days and 3 nights, Richard was entrusted with a sacred teaching – the wisdom of the Gene Keys.   A born explorer, Richard has studied with great teachers in the East, traveled through the Himalayas, the Pacific, the Americas and the Arctic. Earning a Master’s Degree in metaphysics and literature from Edinburgh University, he went on to work in the film industry in Australia, trained as a teacher of Chi Kung in Thailand and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean on a small yacht. During this time he lived in Manhattan, Oregon and Hawaii before finally returning to the UK in 1998, where he met Marian his wife. Over the following years they had three children and moved to Devon in southern England. Throughout his adventures Richard has explored his love of writing and in 2006 he won the FISH international poetry award in Ireland.   All Richard’s travels and studies coalesced into a synthesis in 2002 when he began to write and conceive the Gene Keys. It took seven years to write the book and understand its teachings and applications. Today Richard continues to expand the wisdom that he was gifted, remaining always a student of the Gene Keys while teaching all around the world.   In 2019, Richard was named on the Watkins list of The 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People.   Website: https://genekeys.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/genekeys/ ___________   Know Thyself Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/ Website: https://www.knowthyself.one Clips Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ4wglCWTJeWQC0exBalgKg   Listen to all episode on Audio:  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4FSiemtvZrWesGtO2MqTZ4?si=d389c8dee8fa4026 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/know-thyself/id1633725927   André Duqum Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/   Meraki Media https://merakimedia.com https://www.instagram.com/merakimedia/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sadhguru is a mystic, yogi, visionary & NY Times best-selling author. He started one of the largest volunteer run non-profit organizations in the world called The Isha Foundation. Sadhguru's teachings have drastically improved my life for the better and I wish for his wisdom to impact the lives of as many people as possible. I find that his explanations on various life’s topics are not only refreshing but revealing. You can feel the resonance of his words to be describing reality the way it is - not just by his opinion or belief. What does true liberation and self-realization feel like? How do we escape the cycle of Samsara & realize our true nature - therefore ending suffering?

In the modern age, we have access to unlimited information at our fingertips. However if we do not take advantage of this gift, it will become our curse. We can harness the potential of all of this available knowledge to wake up to our own light or let the darkness of ignorance continue to run the show. Most people are sleepwalking through life, chained to their perceived limitations and inevitably miss the bliss of what it means to be human.   The Know Thyself Podcast is a place to dive into the perennial questions of life, and in doing so, reveal ancient wisdom applicable for these modern times. Each week the host André Duqum connects with various teachers, spiritual leaders, doctors, heart-led creators and storytellers on topics such as the true nature of ‘Self’, consciousness, philosophy, health optimization, and personal growth.   These conversations are aimed at supporting individuals on their awakening journey, how to reduce human suffering and providing actionable tips for experiencing a truly liberated and fulfilling life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
