Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 24: Diving Deeper Into Critical Thinking and Logic

In this second conversation with my good friend Jordan Grant (link to our first conversation below), we cover a few more logical fallacies and then dive into a conversation about the difference between ‘scientific realism’ and ‘instrumentalism’. But this is no dry philosophical discussion. As ‘big picture’ people, Jordan and I are both keen to help people understand the importance of getting to the root of the question/situation and of asking pertinent questions, especially in the field of health, in which our decisions can have consequences for our whole lives. As Jordan has said “We have to have a standard for evaluating claims”. Join us for another fascinating conversation about how we can know what we think we know and more… Dawn 🌹 Our previous conversation, RESOURCES Dr Jordan Grant’s website: https://www.granthormone.com/ [https://www.granthormone.com/] Thank you for your support. 🙏 Podcast music: Unique track composed by Alex Michael, aka Conspiracy Music Guru [https://www.conspiracymusicguru.com] Video Intro: Unique creation by Steve Falconer of Spacebusters [https://www.youtube.com/@spacebusters3933] Dawn’s Writings is a reader-supported publication.

Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 22: Tuning into Coherence

In this wide-ranging conversation, Eileen explains why an understanding of the biofield is so important, especially for our health. We also discuss a couple of her recent posts, one of which is about learning to respond rather than react from the perspective of charge. In addition, we covered the energy of food, that ‘Digestion is electrical fermentation’, how we need to actually feel our feelings, and much much more…. (Please note: We seem to have been visited by the internet gremlins that gave us a couple of glitches in the early part of this conversation, so apologies for that and for the volume on my mic) Eileen Day McKusick is a researcher, writer, inventor, practitioner, educator, and speaker in the fields of therapeutic sound, the human biofield and electric health. She has been studying the effects of sound on the human body and its electrical system since 1996.

My guest today is my friend Jad Atik, the director and founder of FACT (Future Academy of Critical Thinking).

Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 20: Natural Meditation

My guest today is Matthew Zoltan, creator of the Undo meditation app. Many of us are looking for new ways to heal ourselves. The most effective methods of healing require us to first understand our experience in our physical form, and re-connect with our own body, which is often where we hold the blocks, wounds and traumas. Join us for a fascinating insight into how Matthew discovered his meditation method. Do stay tuned to the end of the episode when Matthew leads us in a 20 minute meditation. Here’s a short overview of some of the information you can find on Matthew’s website: “Matthew’s unique insights stem from decades of hands-on exploration, successfully helping professionals and clients to overcome the whole spectrum of mental and physical health issues and trauma. His approach is tailored for people seeking to balance a busy lifestyle with personal wellbeing, addressing the specific challenges of stress and burnout that come with living in our digital world. Through years of personal enquiry, Matthew has come to understand the correct and optimal function of the human organism. He has discovered and proven that everything in life (beyond the purely mechanical) is primarily understood through the senses and felt sensations in the body – how we physically feel, moment to moment. And that it is here, in the physical feeling and sensations in the body, that all trauma, distress and illness is resolved.” Dawn 🌹 RESOURCES Website: https://mattzoltan.com/ [https://mattzoltan.com/] Undo App: https://undoapp.com/ [https://undoapp.com/] N.B.
