Mind the Shift

Arabella Thaïs is a philosopher in the renaissance person style. Her research spans quantum mechanics, cosmology, chaos theory, literature, aesthetics, higher-dimensional mathematics, ontology, and metaphysics. She runs The Temple of Truth, a school of consciousness and self-realization. When we throw ourselves into our conversation, it quickly takes off in all conceivable directions. Beauty Arabella emphasizes the importance of beauty, in a profound sense of the word. Beauty and love are not the same, but they are intimately intertwined. She cites Dante Alighieri, who said beauty will save the world. “It’s about moral beauty. Beauty is related to truth and the good.” Beauty is also related to the experience of this life. Nonhuman intelligence A few years ago, Arabella had several direct interactions with nonhuman intelligence. She saw lights and orbs appearing and disappearing, and she saw and communicated with shape shifting entities. “That changed my life forever.” “They’re here to support us. They help us remember what we already know.” Free will We are born with a divine blueprint, Arabella thinks. What about free will, then? “It’s a paradoxical both-and”, she says. The script is already written, but it is when we align with the path we chose before we were born here that we truly exert our free will. “And when you truly believe this, you’re not worried, because you know that everything will work out for you. It’s all perfect.” The latter assertion raises morally tricky questions. Everything being perfect doesn’t mean that everything is as it should be, Arabella points out. “None of the evil stuff is okay. It needs to be resolved and eliminated. But the journey of experience and then transcendence is perfect.”  A dream world There are different terms for what the Hindu tradition calls maya, the material illusion we live in. Arabella prefers ‘dream’ before ‘simulation’. The fact that we all live in this dream means that if we all shared a vision of an ideal reality, we would realize it almost instantly. “Like in a lucid dream. When you become lucid you can create anything.” This is also where astrology comes in. Astrological principles, by which every point in spacetime has its particular qualities, are a part of the dream construct. A new society How might we reorganize this world? How might we transcend the detrimental hierarchical structures and live according to our true essence? Arabella makes a case for anarchy, which she means is a misconstrued concept. It doesn't mean chaos, it means organizing organically, without hierarchical leader figures. “Democracy kind of works, but it’s actually not ideal. We need to move beyond that.” “The new paradigm necessitates a higher level of consciousness to create a society that is safe, abundant and beautiful.” Awakening Arabella had a spontaneous spiritual awakening when she was 27. “For many years, I was wandering this earth in a state of absolut despair, confused and perturbed. Only through the spontaneous awakening I knew my path. I just remembered everything, who I was and the nature of the universe.” And what will precipitate humanity’s great awakening? “It’s multi-faceted.” Our connection with nonhuman intelligence will be part of it, Arabella thinks. But we will likely also experience systems collapsing faster than ever before, leading to civil unrest. This will force people to realize ‘we can’t go on like this’. We will probably see spontaneous awakenings as well, when people will start remembering. “And the old materialist paradigm will collapse.” Arabella’s website [⁠arabellathais.com⁠] Cosmic Codex podcast [https://open.spotify.com/show/0ZiHsFVsygckskvdZVW9ML⁠] Temple of Truth [⁠https://www.arabellathais.com/templeoftruth⁠]

Kirsty Tait describes herself as an entrepreneur turned “soulpreneur”.“You can’t really be an entrepreneur if you’re not connected to your soul”, she says.The last few years she has been following signs in life, which has led her to shuttle back and forth between continents, with a special focus on the Central American nation of Panama. We’ll get back to why.Kirsty accidentally entered entrepreneurship, she says, and years later she also accidentally entered spirituality. She tells a fascinating, uplifting, beautiful and also funny story about how a failure to properly microdose psilocybin changed her life.“I had my whole world shift. It was the ultimate awakening. I went into pure consciousness. I went into past lives. I understood there's no such thing as good and evil. I understood energy, death, birth and rebirth.”The meaning of life?“To be here now and experience whatever it is that you are experiencing.”Kirsty realized that all this new understanding was in fact not new but past memories (including around a hundred past lives). After the psychedelic experience she tried other modalities to achieve a similar inner elevation, particularly breathwork and deep meditation. One day, on the sofa, she plunged into a three hour out-of-body experience.“Breath is the most powerful technique we have. Just sitting in silence and working with the breath is an amazing medicine for your body.”We actually get sneak peeks into the “other side” on a daily basis, Kirsty points out, for example when we sleep and dream.“Consciousness is limitless. The brain limits us because we are told that it limits us.”Are we living in crucial times?“We couldn’t live in any other time than this one. Everything happening now is perfect. it cannot not be perfect. If everything in the world wasn’t happening right now in perfect synchronicity with the existence of the tapestry of life, you would not be here. So, crucial times don’t really exist.”Time is a notoriously elusive concept. But, to be practical about it, what about the historic human integration of our time? Doesn’t that affect us in unique ways?Kirsty isn’t sure. Today we interconnect via technology, but maybe ancient cultures were interconnected spiritually, she thinks. Maybe cultures in different continents that supposedly didn’t have any concept of each other (as far as we know) were in contact in other, natural ways.Kirsty Tait sees a perhaps surprising link between spirituality, authenticity and entrepreneurship.“I honestly don’t think there can be a difference”, she says.“If you’re truly showing up as your authentic self, you are spiritual, regardless of whether you believe in spirituality or not.”“‘Who am I’ and ‘how do I want to show up in the world’. Those are the only two questions we need to ask ourselves.”“When you feel what is true for you, and it really lands, you feel it in your whole body. Your nervous system will calm down. There will be no fight or flight reactions.”Many people perceive the world right now as messy. How to handle that? “Mother Theresa would always go to a peace rally, never to an anti-war rally. Why? The energy in the peace rally promotes peace, and the energy in the anti-war rally promotes war.”Where attention goes, energy flows, as it were.And what about Panama? Kirsty is passionately involved in a project called “The Conscious Island” on a peninsula in Bocas del Toro on the Caribbean coast in western Panama. The idea is to create a conscious community, including an event space and a wellness space, by amalgamating with the traditions of an indigenous community still living on the peninsula.

“You see bald-headed people who have been treated for cancer. ‘You're trying to kill cancer cells, why the hell are you going bald?’ ”The provocative rhetorical question is asked by professor Thomas Seyfried, whose research at Boston College will revolutionize our understanding of cancer and other chronic diseases. “Metabolic therapy kills cancer cells and keeps your hair”, he says. “People are being brutalized by the system. They’re being treated by people who don’t know the biology and biochemistry behind the disease.” “Cancer is not a genetic disease, it’s a metabolic problem. The reason everybody says it’s a genetic disease is confirmation bias. It’s been hammered into everybody’s brain”, Seyfried says. We can see that conventional oncology is not addressing the right problem, because the death rates aren't dropping the way they should, he points out. "The promise of the gene theory has not come to fruition, nor will it ever do. Meanwhile, thousands of people are dying every day. It’s the greatest tragedy in the history of medicine." Thomas Seyfried does not dismiss conventional methods like radiation and chemo, but the problem is that those are being employed first, when they should be employed last. Seyfried contends that cancer is “a remarkably simple disorder” when you understand the biology. But we have made it complicated and mysterious by focusing on downstream phenomena instead of the actual cause, metabolic dysfunction. “You really have to work hard to get your body to get cancer”, he says. “Our paleolithic ancestors and those who live according to traditional ways rarely have cancer. Animals in nature rarely have cancer.” “Before antibiotics and orthopedic surgeons we died from injuries and infections. What’s killing us now, whether it’s dementia, cancer, cardiovascular disease or diabetes, is civilization itself.” Which means: Not exercising, being under stress, having poor sleep and eating ultra-processed food (sometimes food-like substances). Our bodies become less and less capable of using oxygen to generate energy. Cells resort to fermentation, like cells in primitive life forms once did. This is the crux of the matter. When cells switch from oxygen to glucose (a sugar) and glutamine (an amino acid) to generate energy, they become cancer cells. The solution? Starving the tumor. German doctor Otto Warburg discovered the metabolic mechanism behind dysregulated cell growth already a century ago. But other theories outmaneuvered his findings. Before rediscovering Warburg’s theory and improving it, Thomas Seyfried was “just as indoctrinated as everybody else”, he says. Seyfried and his colleagues developed a diet-drug combination to destroy tumors by doing away with the detrimental fuels glucose and glutamine. A low-carb, high fat diet plus fasting targets glucose (healthy cells can burn fatty acids and ketone bodies, cancer cells cannot), and a “press-pulse” method including certain repurposed anti-parasite drugs targets glutamine. Add exercise. Patients can keep track of the levels of glucose and ketones in their blood with a simple device. “We’re getting longer and longer survivors for the so-called terminal cancers.” One big obstacle to getting established medicine to rethink is that there is no money in metabolic therapy. There’s no pill or shot for Big Pharma to sell. But Seyfried is optimistic: “When you educate people in certain ways and make certain products that will keep the entire body healthy, this will be a new industry. It’s coming.” Seyfried's research at Boston College [https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/schools/morrissey/departments/biology/people/faculty-directory/thomas-seyfried.html] IHMC Lecture [https://youtu.be/SEE-oU8_NSU?si=8zii25Yw-BNoMPcX] by Seyfried

Danny Sheehan is an acclaimed civil rights attorney. He is at the forefront of the movement advocating for UAP disclosure and transparency, but he has a history of being at the center of a number of famous big cases. This episode has two parts. 1 The UFO/UAP part In the 1970s, Danny Sheehan got to see the classified portions of a long-running UFO program called Project Blue Book. “There they were, the photographs of a crash retrieval. There wasn’t any doubt about what they were. It was a classic UFO.” Today, he is deeply engaged in the process of shedding light on the UFO cover-up. Whistleblowers have testified before the US Congress, under oath, that nonhuman craft have been retrieved by secret programs for many decades. Danny wants to see a gradual and responsible disclosure. That’s why he founded the New Paradigm Institute, whose purpose is to push for precisely that, on the political level and in society at large. And it’s getting closer. “The cat is out of the bag now. It’s running around.” Before he became an attorney, Danny wanted to be an astronaut, to be able to get into close contact with the extraterrestrial beings he knew were there. “Many planets in the Universe are billions of years older than ours. Those civilizations have had a lot more time to explore the fundamental questions, like the origin of the universe and the relationship between consciousness and the material realm.” ET spacecraft seem to operate telepathically, for example. We also have capabilities like that, but they have been suppressed, Danny contends. “Institutional religions have kept the secret.” This means that disclosure is required not only on the part of the government. “It requires disclosure also on the part of the major religious institutions, which have withheld this information. ”Danny is critical of the nation state and its institutions: “People need to understand that there is a structure in place that is fundamentally unjust. I discovered this when I came into the world of law.” “When we encounter an ET civilization that is billions of years in advance of us, we need to reorganize the structures of our planet towards fairness, and to relieve us of the danger of self-imposed thermonuclear destruction.” 2 The JFK part (which also features as a separate video on Youtube [https://youtu.be/SFK63MQbcsc?si=rcGKCH2QBBejo57Z]) Danny Sheehan was one of the people who began scouring the JFK files as soon as they were released in mid-March of 2025. In fact, he had been doing that only minutes before this interview. The JFK assassination connects the dots between several huge political, economic and military crises and events, and it even has a connection to the UFO phenomenon, according to Danny. It's complicated, but Danny’s explanation makes sense. And if true, it forces us to rewrite history.

Exploring the idea of Atlantis is irresistible within the sphere of alternative archaeology. Most independent researchers find irrefutable evidence of a civilization-ending cataclysm some millennia before the ‘official’ start of civilization. But what areas were affected? Does ‘Atlantis’ refer to sunken lands in the Atlantic, a wiped-out culture in North Africa or a lost global empire? Or something else? And exactly when did it happen? Was it really in the Younger Dryas period? Independent researcher Ronnie Gallagher offers a few unusual angles to the concept of a lost ancient civilization. He agrees with others that something extremely dramatic happened to the planet, and that the main part of this catastrophe was a huge flood. But he differs from most in terms of timing, places and cause: The flood happened some 10,000 years ago, a couple of thousand years later than the Younger Dryas. The disastrously affected high culture area that the Egyptians (and Plato) refer to was in the Caucasus region. The cataclysmic flood was most likely caused by a temporary tilting of the Earth, in turn caused by massive solar outbursts tugging on our planet’s magnetic fields. On the latter point, Ronnie is in some agreement with geophysicist Robert Schoch. The ‘smoking guns’ are primarily geological and geophysical, such as high strandlines and giant sand waves. “I’ve kept on being pleasantly surprised by the things I’ve been looking into, getting corroborating evidence”, Ronnie says. But he has also found cultural similarities between ancient Egypt and the area around the Caspian sea and the Black sea, not least in Azerbaijan. He points out what Plato’s two Atlantis dialogues actually say: “Atlantis was never an island, it was an isthmus.” And he refers to the famous 19th century Egyptologist Flinders Petrie: “Petrie concluded that the early Egyptians had ancestry in the Caucasus.” The long-term elevated sea level was 100 to 200 meters above today's level, according to Ronnie Gallagher, but it seems that there were short-term tsunamis of over 700 meters. It was one of those that buried the much debated archaeological site of Göbekli Tepe, he believes. The standard story is that the site was intentionally covered. “I don't believe that for a moment. The earth around the structures is in evenly distributed layers. It wouldn't have looked like that if people had ritually buried the site.” Ronnie’s research papers at Researchgate [⁠https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Ronnie-Gallagher] Ronnie’s research papers at Academia [⁠https://independent.academia.edu/RonnieGallagher⁠] Episode with Jack Kelly [https://youtu.be/U6GcVT3CrZE?si=MuI9dT1rSxzzqnMX](referenced Atlantis theory) 🎗️ Support Mind the Shift🔷 Patreon [ https://www.patreon.com/user?u=46828009]🔷 Paypal [https://paypal.me/andersbolling?country.x=SE&locale.x=sv_SE]🔷 Host's website [www.andersbolling.com]
