Gateways to Awakening is a gateway for your own spiritual journey.
Today, people are suffering from stress and anxiety like no other time in history. Mental illness is on the rise, and people are either self-medicating or numbing out with a variety of distractions.

How can we become more connected to ourselves and bring greater awareness to our lives? How can we connect with our own voice and intuition and be on the highest life path possible? Is there a greater intelligence, a primordial, intuitive intelligence, beyond just what we can access through our five senses today?

Today’s episode is with Sean Webb who wrote a book about hacking happiness.
Figuring out how to explain how the human mind works has had some interesting side effects. It turns out that the same model Sean uses to explain the human mind to MHH students also has some amazing applications in the world of Artificial Emotional Intelligence. Using his understanding of mind and deep mind, Sean has developed the first ever Algorithms of Human Emotion that are not reliant on biosensors.
These will soon to be used to not only create simulated Turing test passing emotional responses in artificial personalities (think; C-3PO), but they will also be used to help create functional empathy and compassion in computer logic and their applications. This will not only make computers more user friendly and emotionally intelligent, it may also just save us from a rogue artificial general intelligence from accidentally or intentionally bringing an end to the human race. Either way, if Sean knows the human mind well enough to help computers understand how our minds work, he can certainly help you learn how to hack yours to your greatest personal benefit.
We talk about the following and so much more:
✅What inspired him to write a book about mind hacking and happiness?
✅His personal journey and motivations?

Today’s episode is with Dr. Laurie Scolari who has held several positions in the field of education.
She has always struggled to adjust to a field steeped in a dominant culture that has never felt right. She tried to code-switch into what she thought was expected of her. When she first entered the field, she never wore her hoop earrings to work, thinking they were unprofessional, yet they represented her and where she grew up. Today the world has adjusted a bit, and hoops are commonplace.
Meanwhile, she still convinces herself it’s ok to be just her true self at work, now with her hoops on. This internal struggle inspired the name of her YouTube channel: Hoop Earrings Conversations.
Though she still works as a full-time professional in education, her channel is dedicated to the real her, the real us. It creates a space for the homies to chat about how to survive and maybe even thrive in dominant culture spaces that were not designed with us in mind. Her work focuses on living authentically, personal development, and self-empowerment.
We talk about the following and so much more:
✅ What it means to create your life and your own reality

On today’s episode, I speak with Caroline Cory - futurist, a visionary author and the founder of the OMnium Method™. Even though Caroline completed graduate studies in Psychology with a minor in Philosophy, most of her knowledge and deeper awareness came about through direct experience, which she talks about in her books and courses.
Caroline's encounter with the worlds of Consciousness, Energy Medicine and Spirituality started at the early age of 5 when she spontaneously began to perceive various forms of subtle energy.
She could experience and understand more deeply the cosmic roadmap and the structure of consciousness, the multi-dimensional configuration of the human body and mind as well as the construct of earthly reality.
In healing, this method raises the cells’ vibration through resonance, which in turn allows the cellular DNA reprogramming and the healing to occur organically.

Today, we are talking about Jiddu Krishnamurti and his teachings. For those of you who dont know of him or his work, Krishnamurti was a great philosopher of the 20th century. Khalil Gibran considered him the manifestation of “the God of Love”. George Bernard Shaw said, “He is the most beautiful person I have ever met.”
Today’s episode is with Michael Korhnen, who was born in Germany at the end of World War 2. Growing up in post-war Germany disillusioned him in regard to social, collective efforts. He studied world religions, like Taoism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and more.
In 1975, through the recommendation of some friends from Ojai, he assumed the position of chef at the school there - the newly founded Oak Grove School, even though he had never cooked before. Part of his duty as school cook turned out to be preparing luncheons for JK and his guests during the three-month period that JK stayed in Ojai, California. Thus, he got to know JK in a personal, casual setting, and they became good friends.
After JK's passing in February 1986, he started composing a memoir, based on his times with the philosopher. It was a labor of love and was published in 1995 under the title "The Kitchen Chronicles - 1,001 Lunches with J. Krishnamurti".
Michael has continued working for the KFA (Krishnamurti Foundation of America) in various capacities. For the past twenty years he has been the Librarian at the Krishnamurti Library in Ojai, which is where we met.
We talk about the following and so much more:
✅ Who Krishnamurti is and why his work is important
✅ What Theosophy is and how Madame Lavasky’s work influence the journey of Krishnamurti’s life
✅ What brought JK to Ojai, and what he thinks his greatest legacy has been on humanity
✅ How he came to meet Krishnamurti and what his experience was like after spending so much time with him
✅ Why JK urges listeners not to accept what he tells people at face value and why he was so different than other philosophers and mystics

Today’s episode is a little different as it's a mix of conversation and an experience.
On this episode, we’ll be featuring our guest, Shirin Hedayat, and we discuss how to meditate before we dive into a 30-minute meditation so please DO NOT listen to this episode while driving.
Shirin was actually my Teaching Assistant at the Academy of Intuition Medicine, and I thought it would be special to have her on the show since so many people have been told - “Just meditate”, without really understanding how to meditate. I confess that I myself also had difficulty meditating for a very long time because until I was trained, I found it very difficult. And that's especially so if you live in a very analytical world which I’m sure many of you do.
Shirin has different modalities, but as the practice of meditation began to profoundly transform her life, she decided to devote her time to leading groups and individuals in mindfulness practices. Shirin also holds an M.S. in Finance/Investments and worked as a Financial Advisor and a Registered Principal for 15 years with a focus on managing assets of small to medium size companies.
In 2014, she received a Master Certifications from the Academy of Intuition Medicine in Sausalito where she continues to be a TA and Tutor for new students.
We talk about:
-
How to meditate, for those new to meditation
-
Best practices for meditating and how to be inspired to meditate
-
Transformational stories from those who meditate
-
If you are an expert meditator, and you want to dive into the meditation, it starts @minute 19:26
