What if you're never actually off your path? At six, Arthur Fretwell saw a man standing behind his substitute teacher with a message for her. She told him to stop, so he asked his guide to take the seeing away. For thirteen years, he didn't see them. He only heard them. Years later, his mother died, his business collapsed, and he filed for bankruptcy, all within a matter of months. Looking for grief support, Arthur walked into a metaphysical shop, traded computer repair for classes, and repeatedly heard the same thing from his teachers: you could be teaching this. That was 25 years ago. In this episode of Make Your Own World, I sit down with my longtime teacher and friend Arthur, a psychic medium and spiritual teacher, to talk about spirit guides, the soul's blueprint, manifestation, relationships, parallel realities, and where human consciousness may be headed. Arthur explains how he experiences communication with guides and loved ones who have passed, why he believes we enter life with a kind of outline, and how free will moves within the path we came here to walk. We explore: • How to tell guidance from your own thoughts • Whether we choose certain experiences before birth • Whether you can ever truly get off your life path • Why difficult relationships can become catalysts for growth • The role of intention, surrender, and manifestation • Déjà vu, past-life memories, and parallel realities • UAPs and changing human consciousness • Where Arthur believes humanity is headed next Arthur's central message may be the simplest one: pay attention. Pay attention to your motivations, your choices, what you are asking for, and the place within you those desires come from. One question to carry with you: If you made the plan, what is it asking of you now?

Actor, voice artist, and playwright Lance Lewman spent years fighting his stage fright, until the night he stood backstage waiting for his nerves to show up and realized they were the engine all along. Lance grew up in Maryland believing Pete the Pirate lived in his basement. The pirate was his father, Baltimore TV personality Lary Lewman. In this conversation, Lance talks about the drama teacher who cast him on a hunch, sending 150 resumes to New York casting offices and hearing nothing, the advice his father gave him when he wondered if he was good enough, and a voiceover career that includes more than 500 National Geographic programs. We also talk about Brilliance, Lance's musical about actress Frances Farmer, which began as a song he and Kristan King wrote in 1983 and kept in an envelope marked "musical" for more than thirty years. We get into Farmer's involuntary commitment, why her mother shouldn't be played as a monster, Lance's next musical about Florence Mills, and what a voice is for once you've learned to trust it. One question to carry: What have you put in the envelope, and what would it take to open it again?

Cory Jacob moved to Los Angeles from a Wisconsin town of 3,000 people to honor his brother, who took his own life at 20. Two decades later you have seen him on NCIS, American Housewife, and Jimmy Kimmel Live, and in more national commercials than he can count. He is a standup comedian, a father of twins he raised on his own for ten years, and the owner of Yes Baby! Vintage, a Burbank shop he runs as a third space for artists and anyone who needs somewhere to belong. We talk about the drive to theater rehearsal that changed the direction of his life, and the choice he made instead. From there: comedy as an art you live in real time, midlife at 45, taking inventory of your friendships, the ripple effect of making one person's day better, and why the more you are yourself, the stronger your signal is. This conversation includes discussion of suicide loss and past drug use. If you are struggling, you are not alone. In the US, call or text 988.

Jordan Start is a clinical therapist and a demonologist, a pairing you almost never hear spoken about out loud. A registered social worker with a master's in the field, she has spent years in the trenches of trauma and abuse before spirit called her into demonology and spirit rescue. She said no for a long time before she said yes. In this episode, Jordan and James, both therapists, explore where clinical work and the spirit world meet, and how often they turn out to be describing the same thing. How darker energies find us through our unhealed wounds. Why fear amplifies them. And the one instruction her spiritual team never changed: do your inner work. You are a divine soul, you have the right to say no, and your healing is the strongest protection you will ever have.

What if nothing that ever happened to you was a punishment? Jamye Price has spent two decades teaching people to live from that question. An internationally known channeler and the creator of Crystalline Soul Healing and Opening to Light Language, she works with the Lyran Council and a being she calls Arion to move energy that the mind alone cannot reach. In this conversation, Jamye and James sit with what it means to stop reading life as reward and punishment. They talk about trauma as stored energy rather than verdict, the subtle realm and how it actually speaks, light language as a tool for the parts of us that words cannot find, and what love asks of a person who is finally ready to heal. The whole episode moves out from a single line: we are never being punished by life.

Some instruments are played. Others play you. Benjamin Symes is one of the world's most visible practitioners of the Pyradym, a chakra-aligned analog sound and light instrument with fewer than sixty in existence. He came to it from an unlikely place: the New York underground house scene, where his ear was already attuned to low frequency and its effect on the body. What he found in the Pyradym, and what found him, became the work of his life. In this conversation we get into: • How a DJ from NYC nightlife became a sound practitioner  • What the Pyradym actually is, and why so few exist in the world  • Sothis, Sirian contact, and the channeled message that redirected his path  • Sound as a carrier of information, not just vibration  • What it asks of a person to surrender to an instrument that carries its own intelligence This is episode one of Make Your Own World, the rebranded continuation of the Journey Mindfulness Podcast. Same host. Broader frame. We're going where the work has always pointed.

Casey Claar is a Consciousness Explorer, visual and vocal channel, and founder of consciousnessexploration.com, known online as the Galactic Travel Channel. In 2009, at age forty-four, a four-year Kundalini awakening began that brought nightly out-of-body experiences and a slow rebuilding of her central nervous system to hold what was coming through. In this conversation, Casey shares her framework for OBEs as conscious state-shifts, why she says disclosure does not happen in 3D, and the work she does with a single quartz crystal that has brought more than four hundred beings through as faces and forms. Underneath all of it sits one quiet question that runs through her teaching: is this a reason to love, or a reason to fear. You are the reality you are experiencing. You lock and unlock your own doors.

Zohar Bahir spent decades flying Boeing 767s across the globe. She also spent those years quietly deepening a spiritual practice that eventually led her to the jungles of Peru, a shamanic initiation with the Shipibo, and a 28-year channeling relationship with Sothis, a collective of light beings connected to the star system Sirius. In this episode, Zohar shares her journey from cockpit to channel, and Sothis comes through live with a transmission on reality creation, working with spirit allies, and why this is a pivotal lifetime for those on the path of awakening.

What happens when a clinician with a doctorate in psychology starts channeling Arcturian star beings? Dr. Dorie LeSieur, PsyD, is a psycho-spiritual therapist and creator of Galactic Akashic Family Constellations — a healing modality that works across timelines, dimensions, and generations. In this conversation, we explore why talk therapy alone can't reach where real healing happens, how unresolved galactic and ancestral trauma blocks manifestation, and what it looks like when science and cosmic intelligence meet in one practice. We go deep into shadow work as the missing key to manifestation, how family constellations reveal hidden energetic entanglements keeping you stuck, the Arcturian mission on Earth, spiritual hygiene for healers and empaths, and working with the Adult Self, Inner Child, and Higher Self at the same time. This episode includes a guided HeartMath heart coherence meditation and a live Arcturian heart chakra activation with light language. Whether you're a clinician, a healer, or someone who's done all the work and still feels something unnamed missing — this one is for you. 🔗 CONNECT WITH DR.
