soul unique podcast EPISODEs 1-5 and their resources for your path

with Judy Kitt, President of the Foundation for Mind-Being Research

In the inaugural episode of the Soul Unique Podcast, host Anu Peter Brandt speaks with Judy Kitt, President of the Foundation for Mind-Being Research. They discuss the importance of forging a unique spiritual path, Judy’s experiences transitioning from Catholicism to Shamanism, and the significance of maintaining a connection with the divine. Judy shares profound insights into her spiritual journey, impactful books, and remarkable experiences with FMBR. In this episode, she also offers practical advice for those seeking a deeper spiritual connection and navigating their own unique paths.

NOTES

The Foundation for Mind-Being Research (FMBR) was founded by Bill Gough and Virginia Cates. 

Judy received initiation rites (and, as a result, is a “Mesa Carrier”) from elders of the Q’ero Nation and studied shamanism practices through the Four Winds Society (thefourwinds.com) with Alberto Villoldo. The Q'ero Nation refers to a Quechua-speaking indigenous community living in the Peruvian Andes mountains, often considered to be the last direct descendants of the Inca people, and known for preserving their ancient traditions and their deep connection to nature.  

Judy mentions at the very beginning of our conversation that she is currently studying The Bhagavad Gita. The Bhagavad Gita  is a Hindu scripture, dated to the second or first century BCE, which forms part of the epic poem Mahabharata. It is a synthesis of various strands of Indian religious thought (from Wikipedia).

METHODOLOGIES & CONCEPTS MENTIONED

• Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP) - After our conversation, Judy did some searching and found that the person who did the impressive presentation at FMBR on EVP (he calls it “Instrumental Transcommunication”) is Mark Macy (macyafterlife.com). 

• Barbara Marx Hubbard’s concept of conscious evolution and that the crises of the world are part of the birth process of a new humanity. Check out Barbara Marx Hubbard’s Foundation for Conscious Evolution.

• The Buddhist principle of “no harm.” Non-harming is the Buddhist principle of “ahimsa,” a central principle in Buddhist ethics.  

• Pronoia is a state of mind where one believes that the world is conspiring to help them. It's the opposite of paranoia, where someone believes others (and/or the world) are conspiring against them.  

• “Every bit of it worth it, every bit of it worth it, every bit of it worth it” is from the teachings of Abraham-Hicks.

• Shadow Work, developed by psychoanalyst, Carl Jung, is a process of exploring and accepting the parts of yourself that you've repressed or ignored. It can help you understand yourself better, improve relationships, and learn healthy coping mechanisms.   

PLEASE NOTE 

After our conversation, Judy told me she wanted to make it clearer that her experiences with Catholicism were and are, of course, her own. She told me she knows a lot of people who have had beautiful, nurturing experiences growing up in the church. Of course, as we discussed, that was not her experience and she acknowledges that many people share her challenging experiences but she also recognizes that others do not. She wanted to be sure that came through.

In this mind-expanding episode, host Anu Peter Brandt sits down with Sarah Amne, the CEO of visionary physicist Nassim Haramein’s International Space Federation (ISF). Together, they dive deep into the cutting edge of science and spirit—exploring the real-world potential of zero-point energy and quantum vacuum fluctuations to transform the future of global energy. But this conversation goes far beyond physics. Sarah opens up about her personal journey through spiritual awakening, the role of deep inner work and self-inquiry in her life and how it paved the way for her to take on a high-profile leadership role in the arena she is passionate about. Sarah also shares how ISF is bridging the realms of technology and consciousness to unlock humanity’s highest potential. 

The International Space Federation (ISF) (spacefed.com) is dedicated to advancing scientific understanding and technological progress in energy and gravity, focusing on quantum vacuum research. Through integrating diverse scientific disciplines, it aims to develop sustainable energy solutions and contribute to solving ecological challenges. ISF’s commitment extends to fostering global academic collaboration and promoting education in these critical scientific areas.

METHODOLOGIES, CONCEPTS, & PEOPLE MENTIONED

• Quantum Vacuum Fluctuation - In quantum physics, a vacuum fluctuation is the temporary, random change in the amount of energy in a point in space (from Wikipedia).

• Zero-Point Energy - The lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical system  may have (from Wikipedia). 

• Unified Field Theory - In physics, a unified field theory is a type of field theory that allows all fundamental forces and elementary particles to be written in terms of a single type of field (from Wikipedia).

• Subtle Energy - Subtle energy, also referred to as "bioenergy," is a term used to describe a non-physical, active principle that permeates the universe and is considered to be the source of life and vitality. It's often associated with concepts like prana, qi, mana, or life force energy, and is believed to influence physiological processes and overall health. 

• 5G Energy in Space - 5G technology is being explored and utilized in space to enhance communication, connectivity, and remote operations.

• Planck Level - The Planck level refers to a fundamental energy scale in physics where quantum gravity effects become significant and our current understanding of quantum field theory breaks down. At this scale, space and time may not be continuous, and virtual black holes could be present.

• E=mc2 - In this equation, E stands for energy, m stands for an object's mass, and c2 represents the speed of light (186,000 miles per second) multiplied by itself. Think of mass as simply the quantity of matter present. Energy is a tougher concept, but it is okay to think of it as a property of heat or light.

• Max Planck - Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck was a German theoretical physicist whose discovery of energy quanta won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918.

• Kp Index - The geomagnetic three-hourly Kp index was introduced by Julius Bartels in 1949 to measure solar particle radiation by its magnetic effects. This index tells scientists how disturbed the Earth’s magnetic field is on a 9-point scale called the Kp scale.

• Z-pinch - The Z-pinch (zeta pinch) is a type of plasma confinement system that uses an electric current in the plasma to generate a magnetic field that compresses it (from Wikipedia).

• Laser Fusion - Laser fusion, also known as inertial confinement fusion, is a method of initiating nuclear fusion reactions by using powerful lasers to heat and compress tiny fuel pellets. These pellets, typically containing deuterium and tritium isotopes of hydrogen, are compressed to extremely high densities and temperatures, triggering a thermonuclear explosion and releasing enormous amounts of energy. 

• Tokamak - The tokamak is one of several types of magnetic confinement devices being developed to produce controlled thermonuclear fusion power (from Wikipedia).

• Faraday Cage - A Faraday cage is a conductive enclosure that shields its interior from external electromagnetic fields, preventing interference and protecting sensitive equipment. It does this by causing charges within the cage to redistribute, canceling out the external electric field. 

• Epigenetics - In biology, epigenetics is the study of changes in gene expression that happen without changes to the DNA sequence. The Greek prefix epi- in epigenetics implies features that are "on top of" or "in addition to" the traditional genetic mechanism of inheritance.

• UAPs - UAPs, or Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, are objects detected in the air, sea, and space that cannot be immediately explained and are not attributable to known actors. Essentially, they are a catch-all term for unexplained phenomena that were previously referred to as Unidentified Flying Objects UFOs). 

• Roger Penrose - Sir Roger Penrose is an English mathematician, mathematical physicist, philosopher of science and Nobel Laureate in Physics.

• Stuart Hameroff - An American anesthesiologist and professor at the University of Arizona known for his studies of consciousness and his controversial proposal that consciousness originates from quantum states in neural microtubules. He is the lead organizer of the Science of Consciousness conference.

• Federico Faggin - A physicist, inventor, and entrepreneur. Born, raised, and educated in Italy, he immigrated to the US in 1968. He is credited with designing the world's first commercial microprocessor, the Intel 4004 in 1971, and he went on to invent dozens of other integrated circuits. In his book, Irreducible, he elaborates on an idealist model of reality, produced after years of careful thought and direct experience, according to which nature's most fundamental level is that of consciousness as a quantum phenomenon, while the classical physical world consists merely of evocative symbols of a deeper reality.  [Book link generates commission to help support the Soul Unique Podcast.]

• Oliver Heaviside (18 May 1850 – 3 February 1925) was an English mathematician and physicist who invented a new technique for solving differential equations, independently developed vector calculus, and rewrote Maxwell’s equations in the form commonly used today.

• Muscle Testing - Muscle testing, also known as applied kinesiology (AK), is a diagnostic tool used to assess the body's health by examining muscle strength and responsiveness. It's based on the idea that the body's muscles are connected to specific organs and systems, and imbalances or stressors can manifest as weakness in certain muscles. 

• The Flower of Life - A a geometric symbol consisting of a series of overlapping circles arranged in a symmetrical pattern, often associated with sacred geometry. It's seen as representing the cycle of creation, life, and the interconnectedness of all things. 

• The Gene Keys - Described as "a grand synthesis of practical wisdom to help guide you to a deeper understanding of yourself and your true potential." (https://home.genekeys.com/)

• Tarot Cards - Tarot cards are a deck of 78 cards used for divination and self-discovery.
