Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 24: Diving Deeper Into Critical Thinking and Logic 10.12.2025

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 th...

Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 23: Understanding Ourselves Through Astrology - Whilst Embracing the Mystery 04.12.2025

Today my guest is my friend Emily Trinkaus who says she fell in love with astrology at age 13, thanks to Linda Goodman’s Sun Signs, and has been a passionate student of the cosmic science ever since. She has practiced professionally since 1999, and offers online classes and personal readings to people around the world.   Emily’s gift is to translate the complex language of astrology into accessibl...

Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 22: Tuning into Coherence 22.11.2025

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...

Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 21: The Future of Critical Thinking 10.11.2025

My guest today is my friend Jad Atik, the director and founder of FACT (Future Academy of Critical Thinking). Jad created FACT 2 years ago as a response to his view that children need to be taught to think for themselves, something they are not encouraged to do within the traditional school systems around the world. “Located in Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic, the Future Academy of Critical Think...

Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 20: Natural Meditation 31.10.2025

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 meditati...

Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 19: Male Female Dynamics & How We Can Restore Harmony 25.10.2025

My guest today is my friend, Christopher Gardner, also known as Topher. As he says on his website: “TopherHq is the clearing house for all the curiosities and experiments that Chris’Topher’ Gardner has given his attention to. Philosophy and innovation are the primary drivers that populate this site’s content. Having over 20 years of professional experience with massage, coaching, construction, arc...

Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 18: Decentralising Power & Returning To Our Spiritual Selves 10.10.2025

My guest today is my good friend, Mike Winner, who is a partner and technical director for Alfa Vedic, an off grid farm and wellness co-op focused on innovative solutions for a new era of self-mastery, health independence and personal sovereignty. Mike and Dr. Barre Lando host a weekly podcast called Alfacast that delves into a vast range of topics related to the new cutting-edge terrain of health...

Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 17: Homeopathy: A Deeper Dive & Some Exciting News! 29.09.2025

In this episode, we begin by discussing some of the criticisms levelled against homeopathy and Lisa explains why those criticisms are misleading. We also cover a few other potential misunderstandings relating to homeopathy, including terms used to describe conditions people experience. Our conversation then veers into miasms, childhood illnesses, the energetic nature of homeopathic remedies and ho...

Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 16: Healing in Community 02.09.2025

Today I’m joined by returning guest and friend, Jaya Simrit Kaur, an international spiritual healer and teacher, kundalini yoga and meditation instructor, sound healer, spiritual constellator, oracle, mentor, and mystic. Our topic today is Healing in Community. We’ve all come to learn that we carry unhealed wounds. We know that our healing is our responsibility, but that does not mean we have to g...

Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 15: Conscious Music Creation 28.08.2025

Alex Michael, a multi instrumentalist and music producer, is the mastermind behind the Conspiracy Music Guru and is as passionate about truth as he is about music. As Conspiracy Music Guru, Alex exposes the world’s greatest deceptions with lyrics that inform and teach, and, together with an understanding of the power of 432Hz , his music delivers a natural vibration which has had a profound impact...

Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 14: The Answers are in the Blood 22.08.2025

Adam & Josh Bigelsen are two of the key voices in the effort to raise awareness of the fact that ‘terrain’ is not a theory, but a paradigm that has been proven over time by real results in the real world. In this wide-ranging conversation, we discuss: the real role of parasites, fungi and bacteria; how regenerative farmers understand the importance of a healthy microbiome for a healthy soil; how w...

Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 13: The Eternal Avatar 19.08.2025

Today I’m joined by Philip Kinsella and Chris John Mayes to discuss their recently published book, The Eternal Avatar: Discovering Who & What You Really Are Beyond The Material Realm. I connected with Philip and Chris through our mutual friend Brandon Thomas, the creator of Ridiginal Publishing, who published their book. In our conversation, Philip and Chris talk about the many similarities they s...

Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 12: Asking the Eternal Questions 12.08.2025

My guest today is my good friend Steve Falconer, a touring musician and music teacher. He's also a filmmaker, best known for his work on the Spacebusters video channels. His topics of interest are wide and varied: ranging from esoteric biochemistry, the Bible as allegory, and cell-salts - to exploring life after death, reincarnation, and magnetic light - to delving into cosmic secrets, Antarctica,...

Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 11: Creating Healthy Homes 07.08.2025

My guest today is Lauren Riddei, who I met earlier this year at Confluence. We realised after just a few minutes of talking that we had much in common, especially with respect to our research into and concerns about the environmental factors that play a role in our health. Lauren’s journey has taken her to understand that our home is more than just where we live; it has a huge impact on our health...

Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 10: Healing with Homeopathy 23.07.2025

My guest today is my very dear friend Lisa Strbac, a certified Homeopath (LCHE, BSc Hons), international bestselling author, and Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. She describes herself as being deeply passionate about empowering individuals to take charge of their health with the understanding that true health begins from within. On her website, under the heading - Why Homeopathy? - she says, “T...

Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 9: Conscious Spell-Casting - Part 1 17.07.2025

In Part 1 of this conversation with my good friend Dani Katz, we discuss her background in journalism and how language is being used to manipulate us. It’s important to remember that language is not merely a communication tool, it is also a highly creative one. Although ‘positive thinking’ can be useful, it is only one part of the process of creating through language. It therefore behooves us to b...

Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 8: Alchemy: The Original Science 08.07.2025

In this episode, my good friend Dr Steven A Young PhD explains why his academic qualifications put him in exactly the right position to expose the problems with many of the current scientific theories, and how they give us a false model of reality. In addition, we discuss his love of music and his journey through the world of music, from performing as a DJ to producing his own music. We also touch...

Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 7: Spiritual Healing. 02.07.2025

My guest today is a new friend, Jaya Simrit Kaur, an international spiritual healer and teacher, kundalini yoga and meditation instructor, sound healer, spiritual constellator, oracle, mentor, and mystic. As we begin to learn more about our true nature - that we are more than just our ‘physical body’ - we will invariably lean towards ‘spirituality’. Although we can easily find a great deal of info...

Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 6: Turning Everything The Right Side Up. 24.06.2025

Today’s conversation is with my good friend Mark Gober. We discuss the common themes of his 7-book series that seeks to end our upside down view of various aspects of life. These themes involve challenges to the mainstream view of materialism and determinism and especially the view that consciousness arises from the brain; in other words, that the physical manifests the non-physical. But this idea...

Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 5: Critical Thinking & Logic. 12.06.2025

I was delighted to have another conversation with my good friend Jordan Grant, although it’s the first one for my own podcast, to discuss knowledge, logical fallacies, and critical thinking. Discovering that so much of what we believed to be true is actually not true, whether partially or completely, raises the question: How can we know anything is true? It’s clear that those who have created most...

Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 4: What If Germs Are Not Our Enemy? 07.06.2025

I was delighted to have a conversation with my good friend Dr Marizelle Arce, who I first met in 2023 when we both appeared as speakers on an episode of The End of Covid; the topic of that episode was ‘The Role of Bacteria’. What we’ve all experienced since 2020 has encouraged many people to revise their approach to health, including how they perceive diseases that are claimed to be caused by so-c...

Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 3: Divide & Conquer 01.06.2025

One of the reasons for starting a podcast here on Substack was to provide audio versions of some of my articles. I’ve chosen ‘Divide and Conquer’ as the first article to be recorded in audio form, because it is a topic that is just as relevant today as when I first wrote about it in September 2022, and then in November 2024 when I updated the article, which is the version of this podcast episode....

Dawn of Discernment - Ep. 2: New Biology 22.05.2025

I was fortunate to sit down with Asher Cowan (Dr Tom Cowan’s son) at Confluence to talk about the New Biology Clinic . This conversation was the inspiration that led me to create my podcast. If you’re familiar with my work, you’ll be aware of my research in which I’ve shown that the mainstream medical system does not operate from a true understanding of how the body functions; which means their ‘s...

Dawn of Discernment - Ep 1: Introduction 20.05.2025

After much contemplation, and admittedly some persuasion, I’ve finally decided to launch a podcast. The final straw that helped me make the decision came about from a meeting I had at Confluence - the result of which forms the second episode of this podcast - so stay tuned! I’ve been aware for some time that many people like to listen while they drive/travel/work/play and often don’t have much tim...
