In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, Micah Ellars and Dagmar Stansova join me to unpack the many layers of the Netflix series The OA.If you've seen it, you already know this isn't a show that easily leaves you.There are stories within stories, symbols within symbols, and characters whose meaning seems to shift depending on which layer you're looking through.Both Micah and Dagmar bring professional experience in film, writing, and acting to this conversation, which gives us another fascinating lens for looking at how a story like The OA is constructed—and what it may be communicating underneath the storyline itself.We'll explore the multiple layers of meaning embedded in the characters and plot, and go into the symbolism of angels, particularly fallen angels, and what they may represent within the world of The OA.We'll also venture into darker territory and ask questions about the relationship between media, trauma, and the human psyche.How is film and television be used for trauma-based mind control? What happens when an audience is repeatedly exposed to disturbing, emotionally charged, or highly symbolic imagery? What kinds of impressions can a story leave behind in us long after we've stopped watching?And then there are the uncanny overlaps with some of the territory we've been exploring lately on BoFA.We'll look at themes that echo Gurdjieff's work, the Toltec teachings, shifting perception, alternate realities, death and rebirth, captivity and freedom, movements of the body, and the possibility that reality contains far more than our ordinary state of consciousness allows us to perceive.There is a LOT to unpack here.And with three different sets of eyes looking into it, I suspect we'll find a few things none of us saw on our own.Join Micah, Dagmar, and me as we pull apart the threads and see where they lead.***Sign up to watch the recording of the Journey Code Open House:Why Saying No Isn't Enough -- The Architecture of Human Behaviour ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on...

My calling has truly been a life-or-death matter. After a decade as a corporate VP in my family’s firm, eight transformative trips to India, and a three-year battle with cancer nearly 25 years ago, I turned to archetypes and deep deprogramming work to save my life.Despite doing everything wrong based on limited health knowledge, I accessed the hidden inner roots of what was keeping me sick, stuck, and unconscious.

In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, I'm hosting Lisa Marie Redl, a woman who has paid the price for speaking out and learned a thing or two about navigating noise, attention, and discernment along the way.Our conversation is called Focus, and we're talking about ADHD.Lisa Marie was diagnosed with ADHD, and I want to hear what that experience has actually been like for her. How did she get diagnosed? What did the diagnosis mean for her? What has she discovered since? And most importantly, what has she actually done that has worked to create greater focus in her life?Of course, she's also raising four young children, so ADHD might be somewhat built into the experience. 😄I want to poke some holes in the way we think about ADHD itself.We live in a world that is almost perfectly designed to fracture attention. Screens, notifications, social media, endless information, chronic stimulation, stress, noise, and a culture that continually asks us to shift our attention from one thing to another.How much of what we call an attention disorder is also part of the modern human condition?And what if focus is something we have to work for and earn?We don't expect physical strength without using our muscles. We train, practice, challenge ourselves, and gradually become stronger.Why would attention be any different?Focus is a capacity. It can be practiced. It can be strengthened. And in a world competing relentlessly for our attention, developing it may be more important than ever.I also want this conversation to bring greater insight into the lives of people who were branded with an ADHD diagnosis, medicated, and then left at the mercy of conventional medicine and psychiatry.What has helped? What hasn't? What questions weren't asked? And what becomes possible when someone begins experimenting with their own capacity for attention and discovers what actually works for them?About Lisa Marie RedlA self-proclaimed De-Influencer, Lisa Marie is a former TV/radio news reporter and host turned mom of four who now encourages people to not watch the news, while still practicing their own discernment when navigating the noise that is the truth movement.She learned that lesson the hard way! ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on...

In this second Beth of Fresh Air on recapitulation, I have the pleasure of hosting Joel Schafer—wolf pack leader, Toltec teacher, and adventurer in the uncharted territory within.After our recent Luminous Beings experience together in the Redwoods, Joel and I are going to continue following the threads that emerged there and see where they lead us.We'll explore how the Toltec teachings—and the ways they're being taught—have changed and evolved since Carlos Castaneda worked with Don Juan. We'll look at some of the fascinating paradoxes embedded within the teachings themselves.We'll get into the mysterious territory of the "flyers"—why Joel believes we need to be aware of them while resisting the temptation to fear them.We'll also explore the Magical Passes and how these movements work to transform consciousness. What are they actually doing? Do they shift the assemblage point? And what does the assemblage point tell us about the reality we're capable of perceiving?Then we'll go bigger.What is the purpose of being in this obstacle course we call Earth?What are these practices ultimately preparing us for?And what is it like to lead other people into this territory, with all the beauty and terror that responsibility can bring?We'll even venture into The OA, the Netflix series that some say expresses Toltec principles in surprising ways.And, of course, we'll recapitulate some of what we experienced together during Luminous Beings in the Redwoods and let spirit guide us toward whatever deeper truths are available to us now.I have a feeling this one is going places neither of us can predict.Find out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-courseDiscover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-application ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on...

Fresh back from a three-day workshop in the Redwoods with Joel Schafer and the Wolf Pack, this week's Beth of Fresh Air is a recapitulation of the journey. Wonnita MacDonald, meditation teacher and gorgeous soul who shared the adventure with our wolf pack of 9, will be joining me!!Recapitulation is more than remembering.It's a way of gathering experience, seeing what was revealed, reclaiming energy, and allowing the deeper meaning of an event to emerge.I'll share some of the adventures of the trip, the unexpected moments, and the insights that continue to unfold now that I'm home.What We'll ExploreWhere deprogramming and recapitulation meetMy current understanding of the assemblage pointAdventures in traveling and what they revealedWhat happens when profound work attracts "flyers"The lone wolf and the Wolf PackImpressions and how they shape our experienceThe beauty of connection through shared work and revelationEvery meaningful journey changes us.Sometimes the transformation happens in the moment.Sometimes it unfolds as we revisit the experience and discover what we couldn't yet see.That's the spirit of recapitulation.I hope you'll join us for this conversation and bring your own reflections as well.Find out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-courseDiscover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-application ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on...

Join me for a live King Hero interview with one of the original voices in the truth community who helped shape my own path of inquiry.I first discovered Bernhard Guenther in 2015, when I finally allowed myself to go down the rabbit hole and take an honest look at the state of humanity at this point in history.While many voices focused on exposing problems, Bernhard consistently returned to the same essential place:The work begins within.If you've followed me for any length of time, you'll know I'm a bit of a broken record on that point as well.In this conversation, we'll explore the relationship between our inner world and the larger forces unfolding around us.We'll talk about personal purification, the possibility of planetary or even cosmological purification, and what it means to engage in conscious inner work during a time of profound change.Inside this episode, we'll explore:psycho-spiritual work and the path of inner transformationthe relationship between personal consciousness and collective eventsG.I. Gurdjieff's cosmology and its relevance todayhumanity's inner chaos and its reflection in the outer worlddiscernment in times of confusion and uncertaintythe influences that have shaped Bernhard's workwhat he sees unfolding in society todaywhat is being asked of those who are ready for "the Work"For those who feel called to look beyond surface events, this conversation offers an opportunity to explore the deeper forces shaping both the individual and humanity as a whole.Join us live.About Bernhard GuentherBernhard Guenther is a psycho-spiritual researcher, teacher, and guide whose work explores the deeper architecture of reality and the evolutionary challenges humanity faces during this Time of Transition.Drawing on more than two decades of study, practice, and inner work, he integrates esoteric wisdom, depth psychology, trauma healing, shadow integration, and the study of the spiritual and hyperdimensional influences on human consciousness.He is the founder of Piercing the Veil of Reality and co-host of The Cosmic Matrix podcast with his wife, Laura Matsue Guenther. Through articles, podcasts, online courses, mentoring, and retreats, he helps sincere seekers cultivate discernment, embody their true nature, and align with a deeper purpose during times of profound change.Website: https://veilofreality.com***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and business coach.

Red.You can love it, you can hate it, but you can’t ignore it.In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, I'm joined by returning guests Dagmar Stansova and Marisa Love for a conversation about the many faces of red.Red carries a remarkable range of meanings and emotional responses. It can evoke passion, love, vitality, danger, rage, urgency, courage, sacrifice, and life itself.We'll explore how red is used to manipulate, lure, frighten, intensify emotion, and redirect our thoughts, feelings, and actions. How did its sacredness in rituals and grounding ceremonies drift into the scarlet letter of the harlot and forbidden fruit?We'll also look at the primal first chakra, so often associated with the colour red, and its connection to survival, life and death, blood, and bloodlines.What happens when we see red as an archetype in its own right?What role does it play in the Hero's Journey?Why are some people irresistibly drawn to red while others instinctively avoid it?I'll even share why I almost never wear red.And of course, we can't leave out nature, where red attracts, warns, protects, and sometimes poisons.Join us as we follow this fascinating thread through psychology, symbolism, archetypes, nature, and the human experience.Who knew one colour could have so much to say?Find out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-courseDiscover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-application ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on...

In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, I'm joined by cell and molecular biologist and Nutrition Detective practitioner Kelsey Kenny for another deep dive into the nickel rabbit hole.Kelsey was instrumental in uncovering evidence from the scientific literature that suggests nickel toxicity has been hiding in plain sight for decades, often labelled as an allergy instead of being recognized for its broader effects on human health.Together we'll explore how this discovery came about and why so many people in the Love Your Liver community have taken on the formidable process of detoxing nickel.What We'll ExploreHow nickel came to be viewed as an allergy instead of a hidden toxic burdenThe molecular action of nickel in the bodyWhy nickel stores in tissuesWhy the body seems eager to eliminate nickel once exposure is reducedWhy something as simple as changing from stainless steel cookware can trigger a rapid nickel dumpPractical ways to support the nickel detox processWhere Kelsey believes this unprecedented community experiment is leadingWhat questions still remain to be answeredWith Special Guest: Kelsey KennyKelsey brings her background in cell and molecular biology together with years of research and practical investigation into nutrition and toxicity. In the Love Your Liver community she's known as the "Queen of Chemistry".Her ability to connect the scientific literature with real-world observations has helped many people better understand what may be happening in their own bodies.If you've been following the Get De-Nickeled series, this conversation takes us another step deeper into the science behind the process.Find out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-courseDiscover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-application***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on...

In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, we're enacting a flippening.After joining me as a guest a few episodes ago, Marisa Love is returning with a twist—she'll be interviewing me on my own show.I love asking the questions. Guiding a conversation, discovering something I hadn't seen before, and seeing life through another person's eyes is one of my greatest joys.I also love being on the receiving end of thoughtful questions.Questions are fertile ground. They create the conditions for insight, revelation, and the kind of alchemy that brings something beautiful into the world.Getting to know Marisa through our podcast conversation and the private chats that followed has been such a gift. My intuition was right. Amid the flowers, beauty, love, and deep sensitivity of her soul is someone with tremendous fire and authenticity. She's a bad ass like me.I'm genuinely excited to change places, see what questions emerge, and discover where the conversation wants to take us.I hope you'll join us for this flippening.Find out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-courseDiscover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-application***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on...
