SPEAKER_00 0:16

Welcome everyone. Thank you for tuning in again to Two Time with Angels. This is the official podcast of the Peaceful Rain Temple. If you're a curious mind, you're in the right place, as we aren't afraid to dig into the deep mysteries of life and try to make sense of the strange things. I'm your host, Trojay Bacon. I'm a minister of angel healing and a master level in three Reiki traditions. I'm the founder of Peaceful Run Temple of Empowerment, which is a non-dogmatic spiritual fellowship dedicated to assisting those who are on the spiritual path to embody their higher self, their divine self, throughout the rest of their days in a mortal body. I'm currently working on the planning and uh soon setup and construction of the first physical temple. I will update with plans of that as that moves forward. Today, on Tea Time with Angels, we are joined with my guest again, John Laden, and he is the author of The Synchronicity of Love, a book called Something True Circles. And his third one is sort of our future, as he is a fellow precognitive, which means that he often gazes into the future, sees visions of future events, moments before they happen. So today, our main topic that we'll be focusing on and shedding some clarity on, um, mostly from our experiences, is Kundalini Awakening and the effects of it. Both especially positive, but possibly some I don't want to say negative, but um challenging aspects of it and how that may affect your life too as you experience this. Welcome, John.

SPEAKER_01 2:18

Thank you so much, Troy. Appreciate the invitation and uh super happy to be here chatting with you. Likewise, it's always a joy speaking with you. Yeah, I um I I love your list of topics and sound like fun ones today.

SPEAKER_00 2:33

Yeah, yeah, it's always fun. Um my experience with Kundami Awakening in general, I'll say briefly, is um especially if you're a divine masculine type, which I'll say more about, is um it really just like is described in ancient texts and by so many people, it's like a a fire igniting you. And in my experience, having um Mars and Aries in both of my astrology charts, as well as um yeah, some other areas and fire and cardinal signs, that just creates and sustains multiple channels of passions, interests, um, projects, callings in life. And yeah, it's it can be a lot, but it's spirit is always um reminding me to work on just simplifying and making it easier to do all this.

SPEAKER_01 3:31

Yeah, well, I I echo what you say as somebody whose astrology chart is literally over 50% fire, um, and who's got an Aries moon, I uh I know what you're talking about. And uh Kundalini ignites a lot of things, and uh it's not sh it's not surprising to me if they call it a kundalini fire.

SPEAKER_00 3:50

Yeah. I was just thinking about sort of sort of a metaphor for kundalini that once you reach especially age 30, sometimes it can ignite earlier in life, but right around the age of 29 to 31 is typically when people go to their Saturn return. Um if you want to learn more about Saturn Return, I highly recommend the book Um Astrology and the Rising of Kundalini by Barbara Hand Cloh. And nobody's paying me to promote that, but I just find that to be a fantastic, helpful book to understand. Such a transit as um Saturn Return, which then it's also important to understand how that continues to affect you through your 30s into the age of 40, around the age of 40 when um Uranus reaches an opposition and beyond. Anyway, yeah, Kundalini is having Kundalini awakened is similar to either a tide, a rising tide that doesn't have discrimination of really where it goes. The water just rises and flows and floods where it can, where it needs to, usually up to a certain mark on the land each month or however that goes. Um but yeah, it's a it's a rising tide that can really affect a lot of areas of your life. Or if you want to use more of a fire analogy, it could be um I think it's called a lahara flow of magma lava that just spreads, it spreads. You don't want to touch it, it's super hot, but it creates um new land masses that then can become fertile and later populated at some point.

SPEAKER_01 5:45

Oh, that's really well said. I would add in, it sounds funny, but um some of my experiences with Kulini would be with what I would call air or wind. And I remember um there was you know early in the early days when it happened to me, um, I found the energy to be so stimulating that it kept me awake all night, and I sometimes would be really sleepy the next day because I didn't get much sleep. And um and sometimes I would come home from work early before my kids got off the school bus and try and take a little nap. And I remember taking a little nap one time, and a goddess was sitting on my tailbone, and she was blowing wind up my perineum and through my whole body. And it's hard to really describe, but I mean, in my mind's eye, what I could see was all the hair on my arms and my body whipping in the wind. Like it was like she just blew wind and blew everything out of my body. And so, yeah, there's been the fire, yeah. A lot of I had tons of dreams about floods and water and rising tides and tidal waves and oceans. But there were experiences where she was blowing what felt like wind through my body. And then afterwards, I remember another experience where, and again, this was just my experience, but it's not unusual to have a lot of what I would call goddess energy with criminal in the awakenings. There was another one where this goddess had me wrapped up, she was swooping me from behind, and she had a very subtle, like a radio dial on my belly, and she was adjusting it to the most fine and subtle station you could ever imagine. And when she hit that subtle station, my whole body would just erupt in pure bliss. And then she'd lose the station and have to adjust the station again in some ways. I feel like that's been my journey ever since is finding that very subtle station of just pure bliss.

SPEAKER_00 7:31

An offering for starseeds is the god's full embodiment. If you happen to be a starseed who feels that you're somewhat sick or distressed by some of the dense energies on earth right now, as well as you have trouble finding and embodying and implementing your soul's purpose for being here with passion, with clarity, with practicality, with courage, and with might, then the God's full embodiment course is right for you. It is a seven-day long energy healing intensive that the archangels gave me, and it is entirely designed and um implemented by the archangels too. They're part of it. I walk you through my signature meditation and energy healing process with the soul star, integrate your soul and your body, heal all of your rough and unclear emotional energy body and karmic and unhealed pain body, heal ancestral wounds, recover the ignored parts of your inner child that you've forgotten, and you may not be aware of this day-to-day, but that will clear up, that will come up to the surface, will integrate your inner child and your soul into your body so that you feel not only empowered, clear, inspired, most of all, as a starseed, as a cosmic soul. You can book a heart call with me to learn more about the God's full embodiment course and how it will benefit you. Um, you can book that call at peacefulrain.com. The link to peacefulrain.com will be in the description of this podcast and or YouTube video, depending on which platform you're watching it on. I love the way you describe that, that there's like that very fine, blissful, um kind of like it it feels like divine frequency that you tap into. Usually for me it takes some time and I always tap into that um or is kind of like sink into that, I'd say, um, enter into that state. What if I'm doing Reiki sessions, especially angelic or Orion Dragon Reiki, um, but really just spending some time breathing and channeling healing energy into a person, that is one of the ways. Um it takes some time to really like yeah, steep into that, but yeah, finding that that fine-tuned station, um, that's a valuable and really precious moment, something that I live for. Um otherwise, this outside physical, earthly and human world that we live in that's the literal definition of a matrix compared to that that moment that like like you said, dimension station of truth of eternity. Anyway, we could talk about that more. Um I wanted to ask you what do you do if you found um helpful tips or helpful techniques to ground, to relax, to uh perhaps ease into sleep or ease into relax late at night when Kundalini starts to rise and you find yourself wanting to work on other projects when you're supposed to be sleeping.

SPEAKER_01 11:24

Um, well, see, um, as far as relaxation for me, because I didn't even know what was happening to me at the very beginning, the first beginning of relaxation is trust. And so to trust that what's happening is meant to happen, it's not anything to be afraid of. It took me a while to realize this was something that people actually were looking for and uh and desired in their life. And so, number one, total trust. Number two, uh, I felt like I had more autonomy than I probably thought I did at the beginning. And there were times I could just tell the energy, like, hey, I need to sleep. Tonight is a night, I need to go to bed early and I need to sleep, and I need to turn off the energy. And then I would get a good night's sleep, I feel energized. The next day I'd be like, okay, bring it on. And so, and then for me, grounding. Uh oh, if I had to pick the two ways that uh are the most grounding for me, one I would say swimming in cold water. Uh, swimming in cold water feels really uh blissful to me and it's very grounding. The other is sometimes eating a heavy meal, like with red meat in it. Um, even a heavy meal is very grounding. Um, so those are probably the three things I would do is just you know, trust the process, realize I have a little say in allowing the energy in or telling it when to back off because I need to sleep, and uh and swimming in cold water, and sometimes just eating a heavy meal.

SPEAKER_00 12:43

Yeah. Um yeah, all those can work. For me, I I prefer not to eat a heavy meal before bedtime because that just activates digestion and then my body wants to stay active for a while. Um so for me, I I prefer kind of a regimented daily routine of um doing my my yoga or workout and morning practices after I wake up. Um I also like to have some minutes of standing barefoot on the earth with sun exposure after I wake up to turn on my nervous system. Um yeah, the the morning, earlier hours in the morning are typically fire energy and Ayurveda. Um so that's good to be active and then tell your kunalini to to wake up then. Um yeah, for me I like to try to have my dinner um at like 7 or 8, preferably not after 9 p.m. Um give my digestive system time to rest or time to digest and then rest. Um and then more grounding, earthly, earthing grounding, um, other grounding practices before bed, reading, getting off of computers. Um but for me, um just like I was saying, I'm a divine masculine type I've learned. Um and what that means is uh I just even late at night when the energy of the earth is um typically cooling down into like water and fire element energy energy, and um it's best to wind down and do your your more calming um exercises and routine later in the day and evening and stop doing your intensive working. Um even divine masculines will stay up late at night sometimes just wanting to work on projects and projects and get things done. But following the the structured lifestyle I prefer um and uh embracing the practicality of uh soothing and turning down my nervous system at night. I one of the practices I do is I tend to um like open a document or create a new document or create a little um thing perhaps on my computer or um set something up um for the project I'm inspired to work on that night, but know that I need to start winding down to get ready for sleep. Um so I just set it up, open something, um, maybe put a few words or a little bit of content in a project. So it's ready to go in the morning when I'm activating it, but not then dive into it late at night and spend hours working on it because then that just throws off my secretion rhythm.

SPEAKER_01 15:45

I totally, I totally hear you, Troy. I uh that's exactly how I work. I I literally sometimes probably around dinner time, I've already penciled out everything I'm gonna do tomorrow, uh, and all, like you said, all little ideas, things I want to work on, so I don't forget. You know, you mentioned Ayurveda and fire, and uh, you know, there are what they call pitta cycles, and um most fire divine masculine tend to you know wake up early, go, go, go. Um, and there's um it's good actually for fire people to go to bed fairly early because that pitta fire cycle will wake up again typically around 10 p.m. And that's exactly been my experience. If I'm asleep by 10, it's great. If I'm still awake, I got a second wind of energy and I'll be up past midnight. And so I try to be, like you said, pretty structured. I try to um eat my dinner probably three or four hours before I go to bed. Uh Wednesday night, my wife, uh, we got in a practice, which is an Ayurvedic practice of walking after dinner, which aids digestion. And we kind of keep it pretty chill in the evenings. And if I come up with inspired ideas, I just write them down for tomorrow instead of diving into them. Otherwise, I'll be up all night. But you know, it's different for everybody. I, you know, uh my friend Tom Kenyon, the uh spiritual teacher, sound healer, channel, um, he does all his best work literally in the middle of the night when he says there's the least amount of psychic noise, which is he said literally at 3 a.m. And I totally understand that too. So I try to compromise and go to bed early and wake up early.

SPEAKER_00 17:12

I'm hosting the first annual Cosmic Congress this August 7th or 11th, 2026, at Dragonsgate Gardens, which is just outside of Trinidad, Washington. And that is a gathering of starseeds, old souls, cosmic souls, especially starseeds, and it will be a caucus with the Galactic Federation. And this is my assignment that the Galactic Federation has given me, and they trained me in for the last 10 years, through many, many um frequent actually visits, I could call it, on their ships after the previous um or prior 20 years of of my frequent visits with my grand mantis family. Cosmo Congress is an annual gathering where starseeds gather and we commune with representatives from the Galactic Federation, representatives from star councils, from around our cosmos, around our galaxy, so with other galaxies perhaps, Andromeda included. And we practice communing with them, telepathic communication, communing with each other. We will have at least half a dozen guest speakers for the 2026 Um Cosmic Congress. You can view more about them, what they're offering, their very unique expertise and services in energy body alignment, energy healing, um, channeling of unicorns, um, dragons, Sasquatch, other beings, um, deep hypnosis and Reiki and other forms of healing, transhealing. Um we'll have Wayne Stapleton, a very close friend of the late Tom Contrantrell, and of course, he was a renowned um Sasquatch experiencer, friend of the Sasquatch people, and researcher who wrote, I believe, over at least six books. We'll be talking about Sasquatch, spiritual awakening, and his life with um with the Sasquatch at Cosmic Congress and other amazing local individuals, as well as my friend Derek Ivine, who is a very gifted um quantum healer who learned the quantum healing hypnosis technique from Dolores Cannon, and he employs that knowledge as well as um Ricky knowledge and much more in his um his bioenergetic and healing sessions in Colorado, as well as online. Learn more about Cosmic Congress at cosmiccongress.org and buy your tickets too. There's a limited number of tickets, so please get your tickets now before August, so that you can get into the August 7th through 11th gathering during the Lionsgate portal. This will be uh a rare type of gathering. Um Valiant Thor and the Galactic Federation has told me it will literally be a full-fledged caucus, uh, a gathering, meetings with uh Galactic Federation, Light Council representatives, including the Orion Council of Light, Pleiadian Council of Light, our Lyran Council of Elders, other Star Council beings and other enlightened star beings, the purpose of Cosmic Congress being for not only deeper healing of ourselves and communion with star beings, but the reconciliation of the remaining echoes of the Orion wars that exist and have existed within our memories and ourselves. And that is essential so that we can heal more deeply and collectively as a human race, so that we can start to deconstruct the the remainder of the darker polluted energy grid that the Draco have imposed on this planet and the Archons are maintaining. And yeah, that needs to happen before we can even lay the effective groundwork, the foundations of the Golden Age to come in later generations. So Cosmic Congress is the beginning of a larger integration process with enlightened star people and star councils. And I look forward to seeing you there. Yeah. I totally agree with that. Like I've always been a night owl growing up, but as I've gotten older into adulthood, I've learned the practicality and um it it also helps with um business work and perhaps starting in the morning and just having hours structured in the day to work on business as well as passion projects. Um yeah, I go to bed before 10 or even 9 if if I get things winding down early enough in the evening. And yeah, that's ideal. Otherwise, it is so easy just to stay up late and then until 12 or 1 or 2. Yeah, you're totally right about that. Um yeah, definitely an evening walk is always so soothing, like around sunset or even after um in twilight, um walk around the block or neighborhood or park. Just not have to do anything. And um another point of like a tip that I find helpful um with kundalini management, especially when it's so active with fire and air and divine masculine types. Instead of like with kundalini rising, something to understand is um the way that Ayurveda I know describes the the anatomy of the energy body, is that Kundalini activates especially in the root chakra, rises up the back of the spine or the spine, and then reaches the crown chakra. And I can talk more about how that happens not just in energy rising, which is really constant all the time, but especially more intense during sexual and sacred sex energy. Um when you get into that, but then what Ayurveda really teaches um when you get into more kundalini work is the importance of grounding your kundalini and returning it, completing the cycle. This is also in Chinese qigong, but um from the crown and above you, bringing heavenly energy down the front of your kundalini uh circuit to return to the root chakra and down to the earth too. Oh, that's really good.

SPEAKER_01 24:26

I know, um, you know, so my kundalini awakening began in August of 2004, and it went for a number of years. And I can't honestly say, Troy, but I felt it moving its way up through the chakras. Um, that said, I know it was happening because there was a point about five years into it, where um for a week or two I could see in my mind's eye uh the crown of my head wide open and a bunch of light above my head peering down, like through the top of my head, all the way down to my root chakra. And it was almost like it was looking like not quite ready, almost ready, almost ready. And um, and then came the meditation where I remember I had in my meditation, there was a woman standing next to me, and she goes, Oh, this is gonna be great. And all this light from above pours my head, my head opens like this giant you know, funnel, and all this light from above goes all the way down into what felt like my root chakra. And you know, I had this funny um, let's see, right before the Kundalini awakened, I had done a meditation before. I was on a business trip and I'm in a hotel in Philadelphia, I did a light meditation, and in my meditation, I'd never seen this before, in my mind's eye, I saw what looked like light from above plunging all the way down to my root shot, and going up and down like this plunger, up and down, up and down. And then a few hours later, it all began. They didn't know what was happening, all this unbelievably pleasurable energy. And I remember reading somewhere that people that had witnessed this said, yeah, this is what it happens. Like the light from above reaches down and awakens the kundalini. And so then it rises up and up and up. And but I felt like for me, my experience was uh the kundalini was essentially remodeling my body. And whether you call it your physical body, your subtle bodies, whatever, I literally felt like my entire body was going for a remodel. And then it was done. Here comes more spiritual light from above, descending down into my body. And I sometimes wonder if that process just continues. Yeah, like there's a like I remember trying to tune into Kundalini, and and in my mind's eye, she appeared as this jet black woman who feverishly was trying to look like she was trying to remodel my body. And so I still kind of sometimes wonder if this process just continues, where the body is being uh reconstructed to hold more spiritual light, which has a certain vibration and resonance. And um, and then I I sometimes wonder if that might happen again at some point down the road. So I I I have experienced what I would call the ascension uh and the descension of light into my body. It's really an extraordinarily beautiful thing to witness.

SPEAKER_00 27:11

Yeah, it really is um a beautiful process and yeah, things to witness in Kunalini Awakening. Also on Peaceful Rain, I am offering the Drama to Divine Union course, which is specifically for twin flames, given to me this the framework of it, of the 18 sessions of Drama to Divine Union was given to me by the archangels. And so this walks you through even deeper healing than the God's full embodiment, which is already phenomenal, beyond phenomenal, according to the clients have worked with God's full embodiment. But the Drama to Divine Union course for twin flames is designed to result in the cultivation, full achievement of your kingdom spouse status. Kingdom spouse is the final highest achievement of twin flame souls, as twin flames you're the same soul in two different bodies, and you come together and unite, and that's not easy being the same soul and uniting because there's such intensity often, um, which creates turbulence. And if there are any unhealed parts of you, unhealed parts of your ancestral trauma and ancestral baggage, unhealed parts of your soul and soul's karma with either of you and both of you, that creates chaos, that creates separation. If you're in the separation stage as twin flames, the drama to divine union course will benefit you to not only unite, reunite, and come back together as beautiful twin flames, but clear out and heal and resolve everything that has created the separation, maintained it, even if you've been in separation for weeks, months, or years, which is quite common for twin flames. I invite you to book a heart call with me, which is a free call, to learn more about the Drama to Divine Union course, and if it will be right for you at this time, that is available at peacefulrain.com. Thank you so much, and I really, really am honored to be able to work with Twin Flames and work with you. This is such a a divine and become one, become a divine um kingdom spouse manifestation, and then create your own bloodline, your your whole new divine bloodline that and legacy for your spiritually awakened child of the spiritually awakened and purified energy from the two of you. Um a few things I want to say about that. I've experienced the same thing with um spirit guides or angels. They they do seem to kind of just like stand around, sit around in 5D, and just sort of like spectators in a sports stadium, they just sort of watch you and they get so it seems like entertained, but in an unhelpful way to us. Um watching you like, oh, he'll be okay. Doesn't matter what happens, he'll be okay. And oh, this is a really good show to watch. Um, yeah, it's something like that. That they they'll respond when you really call on them and need help in life, but otherwise, quite often your angels and spirit guides I I've heard them and seen them just watching when things are happening or when things are about to happen, and they know that this is gonna be really juicy to watch, that this is like the best part in the the episode today. Um I'm like, oh my god, thank you for help, guys. And yeah, then I just threw it, but yeah, but otherwise, what's important to know is that they are still there. Um and they will help, they will step in when you truly call on them and express your your need for assistance and guidance. But yeah, um that can happen with spirit guides. Yeah, sometimes it is with Kundalini Awakening. Actually, always this does happen eventually, especially this is why it's important to allow this. Barbara Hen Klo also teaches in her book and others that it's so important to allow the process of Kundalini awakening through your your 30s to 40s or even late 20s. Just allow it to happen. Resisting it actually causes often major diseases and body syndromes. Um, one of the more painful that I've heard of, I haven't experienced, is when people block and resist their kundalini rising or kundalini activity. Sometimes their teeth can actually crack. Oh, jeez. Um, like things that happen with your teeth and gums, depending on exactly where it is, even, or other specific tissues and parts of the body. Um, this has been mapped by many people. And this is something that I love about um body syndrome healing, is um very specific points on the body, in the mouth, in the feet, correspond to very specific emotional and behavioral patterns. And so, yeah, you can actually decode um healers who know this can decode very precisely what a person is going through, what they're resisting, what kind of life drama they're experiencing that they're feeling pain in, based on what's happening in their body. The body is not a random animal that evolved. The body is a very precisely, intelligently designed creation, and the the least that can be said about it is that it is a very um intelligent, perfect, beautiful map of what we're doing and what we're yeah, what we're doing is spirits and energy, and it really responds to our our emotions and spirit more than the body tells the spirit or emotions what to do. So that's how we can master that. A couple other things I wanted to share um about my both from yoga teachers and my journey with Kundalini Awakening. Suppose um Kabbalah teaches pretty much the same thing that yoga teaches that um, for example, returning to the the basic practices of sacred sex magic and sacred sex energy, um one of the Kabbala teachers I follow, David Guillaume, what the he says the sages teach or yeah, say about especially during sex and intercourse activity, that if your mind is just wandering, thinking about your plans, thinking about things that have happened, but especially just wandering places outside of your body, that means that your soul is literally a large part of your soul is outside of your body wandering, and then it's not in the body, which is why for so many people having a wandering mind during it's like during sex and intercourse activity that it's just they get distracted, it's not fully pleasurable for them, it's um yeah various other symptoms, but yeah, it's important not only during sex and intercourse activity, but also um throughout the day, just like standing on the earth with your bare feet, grounding activities, to breathe your soul into your body constantly over and over again. This should be a meditation throughout your whole day at different periods. Um even outside it, I would recommend, outside of just focused meditation periods. But um yeah, one qigong technique that I do and that I love. Also, my first Reiki teacher reminded me of this. It's called the Hui Yin connection, and that's spelled it H-U-I or Y-I-N in English phonetic translation, but it's um really the basic knowledge that there's this circuit of kundalini or energy throughout the up and down the spine and down the frontal pathway. Um but what helps the what helps your energy to return down from your crown and mind and above, and then f um pass complete its circuit down the the frontal pathway is by pressing the tip of your tongue up against the roof of your mouth, then straightening your spine, inhaling through your nose, and simultaneous to inhaling through your nose, pull your perineum up, tighten it and pull it up, and then hold your breath and feel you you want to try to get to the point where you actually feel the complete circuit of kundalini up and up your spine and down your front, and then gradually release your breath through your mouth. Yeah, that's an effective technology technique of completing the kundalini circuit and grounding that energy back into the body if you feel it wandering.

SPEAKER_01 37:19

That's really good. I don't really have much experience with that. I know there's a meditation called the microcosmic orbit that I think is similar to that, where it's kind of as you know, goes like this, and um, and I know there's some practices that I've been uh about keeping the tongue uh essentially stimulating the worth of the mouth as a way to connect the heart and the mind. Uh, there's whole practices around that. But I to be honest, I'm not really familiar with that.

SPEAKER_00 37:48

Yeah. So that's important to at least understand. That's what I recommend.

unknown 37:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 37:53

If you really want to start working with kundalini and feeling more present throughout your day, throughout each activity that you do, and empowering all of your energy and mind with everything you do, with your soul. Um that's the starting point of that. So, John, I want to ask you um how Kunleaning Awakening has benefited your life and how it has enriched your life.

SPEAKER_01 38:26

That's a hard one to say. Um, well, starting at the very beginning, um, how it enriched my life. Uh it sounds funny at the very beginning, I think it was the beginning of just trusting in the divine, trusting divine timing, trusting the wisdom of the body. Um before that, I had no understanding or experience at all. And it's kind of unusual to have something completely autonomous that's happening to you, and to your body, into your consciousness. And uh and it doesn't feel like there's any volitional control. And so the beginning, I would say it it was the beginning of trust with a capital T. Um, two, um, I have great respect for getting out of the way and letting things happen. Um, I think I told you one of the best things that happened to me was uh finding out that whatever was happening to me was it was okay, it was nothing to fear, and uh to just let it happen. And so um it also awakened a visionary capacity in me, which was extraordinary. Um, it probably was starting uh right about the time it began, but it just was like dreams and visions and guidance on overdrive. During the Crundellini period of time, I especially I could ask any question on any subject whatsoever, and the answers would come. They would usually come in the form of visuals, not in an auditory way, um, sometimes downloads. Um but like I said, I almost felt like it never really ended because as it faded, then came all the descent of light. And I feel like for the last who knows how many years, that light went all the way down into my root chakra and has been remodeling my root chakra. And I have been watching progress on the remodel my root chakra go on for years. And my root chakra used to look like this big dark basement with a red carpet. Now it looks like this gigantic, beautiful, well-lit room, and there's a man playing a piano down there now. And it's hard to really describe. And um and so I can't really define the end of the kundalini and the beginning of the descent of light. It just feels like it's one continuous process. And so I can't really pick out one thing, although I can say from an experience or experiential standpoint, the the years when the kundalini was most active were the most exciting and intense in my entire life uh by a long shot. And in some ways, I kind of missed those uh the wild roller coaster ride. But I I think it's just at its core, uh, it's developed a sense of trust, trust in timing, no matter what's going on, trust that it's all working out for the good.

SPEAKER_00 41:09

But in what ways, um, like you described the your kundalini awakening process, um, gradually remodeling your root chakra, did you also notice either visualization or feeling um the rest of your chakras energy body being remodeled and improved?

SPEAKER_01 41:30

Um I actually can't tell you that I did. Now, for me, it felt like it was all first and second chakra, but I also understand from reading other books and talking to others, that's where things are felt the most intensely. And so as you move up the chakra thing system, things become increasingly subtle. And so um I had shared with you, I think, in the past, that uh while most of the effort seemed to be in the first chakra, the sexual energy was so over the top, it was crazy. Like I was sex crazed. And and at night there was so much sexual energy pouring through me that even if I followed through on the sex energy and was, you know, picking a new partner to spend the night with every night, I don't think I would have had the actual energy to be able to do anything. And yet I was sex crazed. I don't even know how else to put it. And um, and funny, I cracked up this uh Swami Mukananda wrote a book called Play of Consciousness, and he was an avowed celibate. And he went through his Kundalini awakening, and he went through a period of time, and I don't remember the time, you know, six months or a year, where every time he was meditating meditate, this beautiful goddess framed in fire would show up and you'd get this huge erection. And he was just sure he was doing something wrong because he was an avowed celibate. So he went and talked to the local master in town, and uh, the master just laughed and just said, just let it do its thing, just go through it, don't fight it, just let it do its thing. It has a it has an intent behind it. And that's what it felt like for me. It had an intent. Uh, can I tell you exactly what the intent is? I don't know. Um, but I also know that the crown and the root are connected, and the second and the sixth chakra are connected. And so all this energy in the second chakra also seemed to awaken um my third eye, like in a really profound way. And at the very, very beginning, I was working with the heart anyway. Like the only practice I had at that point in my life was heart-centered meditation. And so it wasn't really wasn't a moving its way up step by step, and I could feel every step of the way. I will tell you, um, like we talked about at the beginning, uh, the movement was into greater and greater subtlety. So I'm assuming it was moving up because I would have vision after vision after vision of teaching me and telling me with as many different visions and metaphors as I could be shown that my movement is into greater and greater subtlety. I remember I used to love the fish all the time, and I remember having a dream where God took my big stout fishing rod and replaced it with a long, really fine, sensitive fishing rod. And I felt like when I was fishing, I could almost sense the fish looking at my flies, you know, and um, and then another one where she was teaching me a new kind of basketball. Instead of playing basketball with a heavy leather ball, now it's played with a little ping pong ball. And so over and over and over again, the metaphor was moving into greater, greater subtlety. And so it started out with the most gross, and I don't mean that in a bad way, but the most extreme. And the journey was in the finer and finer realms and greater, greater subtlety.

SPEAKER_00 44:29

What stories do you have in your books that if you're like sharing about cleaning reckoning and um the benefit as well as the challenges of it?

SPEAKER_01 44:40

Um, well, let's see. Um it's it's benefits, it's so hard to quantify. Like, who is it that decides this is better or this is not better? It was exciting and it opened me up in countless ways. So being open and learning greater trust in the divine is a good thing, that was good. The challenges I mentioned earlier, um, that not all, but most of my Kungalini energy took place after 10 p.m. Could be 20 minutes after I went to sleep, could be an hour, but sure enough, somewhere around 10 or 11, here it would come. And for the most part, it would hang around as long as I let it. Usually at some point I would say, Oh my god, I have to go to work tomorrow. I got kids, I gotta get up and feed for school, you know, and um, and then it would go away. But anyway, I would say one to three hours every night, and typically every other night, every second or third night, here it would come. And um, but there was one really, and if you don't mind, I'd like to read a little segment of my book. There was one really, really like the topper of all toppers, where it just felt like I don't even know how to put it, like everything was open all at once, and I was so profoundly moved. I'd like to read it if it's okay. Yes, please do that. So um so this was probably a week or two into the opening, and um and I wrote this down at 3 26 a.m. on August 8th, 2004, and I said, I am cracked wide open. I fearlessly take notes to try and capture it all. Kundalini takes spammer ride through time, pattern, space, texture, light, and liquid, beauty and power in 3D like nothing I've ever seen. It's the night of a thousand paintings, all in such majesty, hour upon hour of explosions in my root, quivering twitches in my entire body. Visions of ancient sages all in hyper vivid 3D, very old and very powerful. I see an old Asian man with a single lens covering his eye and the middle of his forehead. There are glittering rainbow diamonds in three D set against a gorgeous black night sky. There are textures, fabrics, and liquid pouring and manifesting and materializing, materializing into things of incredible beauty. Then I wrote, your life will never be the same. I am showing the creator working through me. I see an art gallery of light, light that melts hard hearts and makes them cry tears of joy. Dimensions, no end, no beginning, no left or right, top or bottom, right or wrong, infinite. Diamonds made of rainbows and set in black, infinite space and great 3D depth, reflecting all that is inside and containing the full spectrum of light. Water pouring forth and manifesting into an infinite number of life forms, textures, fabrics, patterns, the love of the universe, we are all woven together. Ancient sages, wisdom, gray, carrying a burden of the secrets of existence. And darkness, the light looks so glorious next to it. Electricity, movement, change. I saw people with their auras, and I could see people have auras and that hooks in that auras can hook into each other. And I wrote, lie still, the images surge with energy and life, electric. The body and mind allow for seeing and feeling the images. What a gift. Clouds appear in early morning, a rapid fire staccato of a thousand shades of dawn, tears of awe and appreciation. Thank you, God, for my being alive. Help me to trust you and to love life, to be happy and just trust, to feel that giddy sense of life again. Go slow, be patient with me. My fabric is stained, my crown is old, my mask is crumbling. I am on my knees. What grace. Wow. Yeah, that was a wow. Yeah. It was humbling too, but in all the best ways. You know, so it was, I hadn't really until I read that, it was unbelievably humbling, but in all in all the best ways.

SPEAKER_00 48:24

Yeah, um I feel that that whole passage does a great job of poetically summarizing what Kundalini Awakening can be like, sort of does for a person. Yeah. Yeah, it's more than just the rising of Kundalini, which so many people talk about, but like I said, there's the circuitry, but it's not just that. That's just like the circuitry is a good way to describe it like a computer or um electrical circuit. But really, that's just the the more physical, uh, measurable and um feeling like experiential aspect of it. But then um what I've also noticed working with the dragons and dragon Ricky, but this happens, I think, with all other systems, ancient systems of healing and cultivation too. Um, there's just this multidimensional, interconnected quality when these things start moving, that things on all other levels start to synchronize and move and coincide for you. Um, I want to comment, um you were mentioning or was mentioned in that passage, was um gods and goddesses and sages showing up for you and kind of like being a part of this these healing processes, these awakening processes. And that's what I've found is that every time I I make another step forward or leap forward, that some sort of god or goddess, um, or also when I'm ready for the next step, the next challenge that they're ready to be initiated through in life, they show up, usually a god or goddess, but um sometimes other beings, um both from or from the Vedic traditions, um, Buddhist traditions, um, sometimes the ancient Chinese gods and goddesses, um, Celtic and pagan, all over, sometimes African too. Um yeah, so that's my experience, my observation that Kundini Awakening is a lot more than just the actual kundalini that is described in the Vedic tradition, but yeah, it is this huge, sometimes beyond words poetic thing. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 50:54

Yeah, I was gonna tag on to that too. Um luckily, like I said, early on, I began to trust the process. But like you alluded to, I there's another spiritual teacher I like named Adyashante. He he doesn't use the word kundalini, but he says if you're in the spiritual journey, at some point, probably, you're gonna experience energy. And you know, it may or may not be kundalini, but there's gonna be some sort of energy taking place in or around the body. And during that process, for me, it was definitely the ascending and it was definitely the descending of late later. Um, but along the way, there was the strangest things. Like I would get what felt like lightning bolts of energy in my kneecaps that would hurt terribly. Um, I had all sorts of visions that sometimes I could feel of um like holding my hands up to the ocean and lightning bolts from the ocean coming up and entering my palms. And this was all a very visceral feeling thing. Um, and then I would sometimes experience what felt like heart paddles, you know, being put on my chest and the other body just kind of oh, just almost grimacing in pain, and walking into rooms where I have no idea this was again visual, but it was also very experiential. Walking into a room and just being crushed by the energy, like like the room had a thousand times more than normal air pressure, and it felt like I was just being crushed, and they would grimace, and I wake up sweating like crazy. And um, but luckily early on, I was like, I don't know what the hell this is and how this is helpful, but I began to trust the process. So for me, the energy was all over the body. In fact, the very first night, um, it began with me. Not only did I feel the energy of my root kind of like softly rising upwards, but I was laying on my back, sort of spread eagle, and I felt what felt like little tissues, uh like a little kleenex going into my palm and traveling across my arm and coming out my other hand. And you know, and I think without knowing it, I think I was clearing out the channels so I could be a hands-on healer. And so, but I had to run these cloths through my arms and hands first, and then like a week later, suddenly I got energy running out my palms and and uh yeah, and so it it was an all-encompassing thing, and I love how you said, and yet it wasn't involving just John, there's sort of an awareness of how I'm woven into everything else and how it's all connected.

SPEAKER_00 53:24

I love the way you described it, energy moving in one hand through you and out the other. Yep. Is um I'm I'm sure that's an ancient um mechanism and movement too, but that's of course depicted in Avatar the Last Airbender when um I channels lightning from one hand through his gut and then out the other hand. Um yeah, that's that's really awesome that that happened. So, John, um, what is the next mentor circle and um where is that happening?

SPEAKER_01 53:58

Yeah, so uh next one is July 19th, um, and it's at my home here in Redmond, Washington. So if any of you listening are in the greater Seattle area, I'd love for you to come. Um it's called the Great Age of Transition Mentor Circle. And in a nutshell, um, about 30 to 40 people come to every gathering, and they're just an awesome mix of people, including Troy Bacon. And uh and we get together and talk about uh what's going on with us, about the world, where humanity is headed, and try and mentor each other so that we might also mentor others out of the world.

SPEAKER_00 54:33

Awesome. Yeah, I'm excited for that gathering. And what are the titles of your three books and where can everyone find them?

SPEAKER_01 54:42

Yeah, my first book is called The Synchronicity of Love, and that's where I talk most about uh the Kundalini process that kind of kick-started everything in my life. Um, and second book is called Something True Circles. It's about creating a sacred space uh you know centered in unconditional love and teaching people how to speak authentically and to listen with full-body presence. Uh, anybody out there that wants to form some kind of a sacred circle, it's a good roadmap for creating a structure for the circle. Um and the third book is called Stories from Our Future. Um, as you alluded to earlier, I sometimes have precognitive dreams. Uh, there might be things that are going to happen in three days. It might be something that's happening in 10 years. Um they're random and they're unpredictable, but I began to notice a pattern where not only were my dreams precognitive, but I could see where they were continually nudging me to let go of one thing and to step into another. And I realized, in some manner of speaking, you know, I've heard people say the world is dreamed into existence. And I realized that was actually entirely true for me. Almost all of the significant changes that have happened to me or that I've made in my own life began with a dream. It was sort of, and something was simple things like, uh, stop getting your panties in a lot about Donald Trump. Let him go. Can you bring unconditional love to Donald Trump? And uh, that's the path. That's your true north. And um, and I'd be grumbling, I guess okay, if I have to. And so that's really the theme of that book. And all three of those books you can find on Amazon.

SPEAKER_00 56:09

Thank you so much, John. Um, yeah, I relate to the the thing about reality being dreamed into existence. I didn't fully understand that sort of thing, and the way also, for example, the Aborigines of Australia described the dreaming and um how that relates to really, I guess, listening to the universe. And um I think it's the same way that they'd they see it or similar that they spend time every day just gazing into into whatever it is, the fabric of reality, as we could call it, um, into the future, if that's the right word. But yeah, I um tuning into what's happening, what what um they're being told. But I experience the same thing pretty much, especially in my dreams, but also just in my waking life. Um it's pretty it's a pretty regular fact of my life that I get deja vu moments in just in various moments in my life. And some of those, I whenever I get strong deja vu moments, sometimes they just feel really strong, sometimes they're a little more subtle, but I just know that I've done a very particular thing. Usually it's not super exciting or significant moments, but these very specific moments of doing something, I also recognize like a place that I'm at that I haven't been before. But I I know whenever I get those that I've been in that moment before in a dream. And so, yeah, for me it's the same that I have these precognitive dreams, but I don't usually remember them until my physical body and life catches up to that.

SPEAKER_01 58:01

That is really well said, and that's literally how I perceive reality. I'm like, John is always playing catch-up. John, whatever that is, is always playing catch-up.

SPEAKER_00 58:13

Yeah. Yeah, and that's um that's one of the I think profound truths, interesting, profound truths to observe and think about. Um these these ways that we're playing ketchup, like you said, is a good way to put it. Um, or the importance of, especially if you're a divine masculine, um, or find yourself just busy, your mind and energy is so busy, lit up, creating, planning things, wanting to create things, um listening to these callings from the from the creator, the universe, to do these, to do so many projects every day, um, or to do certain things that sometimes are monumentous, but yeah, playing ketchup. Um I think one of the truths of reality to pay attention to in this journey is um and I've experienced this over and over again in my my regular meditation practice, that whenever I tune into a more clear, calm state of mind in meditation, that what I become aware of is my calm clarity and peace, but then it feels like what's surrounding me, not only around me, but in the kind of in the future too, or in the quantum astral realm is lots of not only abundance and outcomes that I've been asking for, or that I'm ready for, or that are ready for me. Um but yeah, lots of lots of outcomes, um things planned and prepared for me. And so then one of the truths that I keep having to remind myself of is to meditate regularly every day so that I can step out of my own way. And this is so important for everyone, I believe, um, step out of your own way to then just allow more of what life has prepared for for you, also coming through from others, because the one of the larger truths, just like you said, John, just like we're touching on, is that there's so much more than the eye that the eye of me and you, of Troy and John. Um, those are just the names, the masks that our souls are living in. But the truth of the soul is really the soul, is I think an accurate term. Uh our what I call the over soul. It at some level beyond just a personal soul, is feels like kind of like a personal soul family that you chose us connected to, but then there's more than that. We're just so connected as one soul, living these different lives, these different movements. Yeah, it's so big, but then it's so much different than what school teachers would have us believe. And that's one reason that these days I'm saying that I have chosen to, or like I totally have disregarded and now just believe 90% of what all school teachers had told me.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:42

I actually love that. You know, um, speaking of dreams and kind of teaching and guiding, I had a dream where I was back in college and and I had a backpack with all my stuff in it, you know, my computer, my books, pens, pencils, all that kind of stuff. And this Indian man stole my backpack. And so I bummed I, you know, lost everything. So I'm back in the whatever the student store buying more books and pens and pencils and stuff, but my heart's not in it. And um, and there was a big clock tower kind of looming over the campus, and it was dark and gloomy, and the hands on the clock were going backwards. And and in the dream, I just said, I don't want to be here anymore. I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to study and be in school anymore. And so I left. And and when I walked across campus, the sun came out, the flowers were booming, the hands on the clock turned into angel wings, and we're moving forward really quickly. And uh, and then and my dream ended with me blessing that little Indian man for stealing my backpack. And I have nothing against formal education, uh, but I also believe there's a time to just trust to move forward, and I literally think that's where that's my opinion, based on a dream I had years ago, where humanity is headed. I think we're not going to depend on formal education in the way we have in the past. And so I I don't know if I shared with you, I had this precognitive dream a long time ago that said the years 2020 through 2060 were going to be beyond Oz. And you know, in the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy and Tin Man and the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion, they're all seeking out the great and powerful Oz. There's just an old man hiding behind a projection because he's got all the answers. And but it turned out he didn't have all the answers. And he was very humble in saying, you know, the answers are inside you. We can give you a certificate to say you've got courage or a medal or something like that, but you're not going to get it from me. And that's what I think the dream was trying to say is as humanity wakes up and moves into this higher vibration and that greater awareness, how we're all interconnected. I think the need for formal education, I'm not saying it's going to go away completely, but I don't think it's going to be the way it was. And I I loved having that dream. And I anyway, I and I dropped out of college. And I'm one of those people that I'm so glad I I I never went back.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:06

That's awesome, John. Yeah. Yeah, I had a similar dream, but I'll just say quickly that that's really the essence of what my dragons have taught me. And um it it's hard to put into words, but they they've reminded me or like sort of stirred up within me and then reawakened the my inner essence. Uh, and this is true for everyone, this can be done for everyone. The inner essence that nobody can give you your validation, nobody can give you your authority. You already have that, and that's what children are born with. Um, it life takes life requires some exploration, but also learning discipline and responsibility and learning your truth, and then learning how to implement that in practical and prosperous ways and ways that help others. But yeah, it's um the the lesson of the dragon, the teachings of them, as well as so many other traditions, and I think the creator is this truth of innate authority. If you go to schools, if you take specialty certifications and trainings, um, trade schools, those are those are nice skills that um for those who feel they're right for, they can help you like get a nice job and make money, and those are kind of practical human skills, but those aren't your innate authority of who you are. And you you never gained authority by having that trade skill certification or anything like that. Um yeah, so I'll leave it at that. Thank you for joining us on Tea Time with Angels, John. This has really been uh another exciting and fun and it's a juicy um conversation exploring the the benefits and effects of Kundalini Awakening.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:15

Uh thank you so much for the invitation, Troy. Always a pleasure to chat with you and grateful we have a chance to hang out with the angels, have tea with the angels here.

SPEAKER_00 1:06:25

Yes, thank you, John, and I look forward to the mentors' circle. And I wish everyone to be blessed. Thank you for tuning in again.
