Guest host Rich Berra (email) welcomed Elizabeth April who traced her extrasensory awakening—from past-life regressions to remote viewing—arguing time is non-linear and anyone can access higher dimensions through focused practice. April revealed she was born with extrasensory abilities, such as seeing energies, spirits, and auras from a very young age. While her parents did not know how to handle it, she quickly realized that most other children did not share these experiences. Feeling isolated and bullied, April admitted she chose to shut down her gifts around the age of ten and immerse herself in sports and the physical world. She admitted this shift helped her fit in socially, but it also left her with lingering feelings of anxiety and disconnection.
At sixteen, April underwent a past-life regression led by her father, an engineer and devout Catholic who had once taken a course on the subject. The session revealed multiple lifetimes and convinced her of the reality of reincarnation, as well as the illusory nature of time. According to April, these experiences sparked her lifelong mission to uncover truth and share what she learned. She found herself drawn to being a conduit of information across lifetimes, emphasizing that while her insights come from her personal experiences, others should test and explore for themselves rather than take her word as absolute truth.
As she matured into her role as a spiritual teacher, April explored advanced practices like remote viewing and astral projection, describing time as layered rather than linear, noting the past, present, and future exist simultaneously and can be accessed with focus. She explained that these abilities are not unique to her but available to anyone willing to quiet the five senses, practice trust, and direct intention. April also touched on themes like collective timelines, the coexistence of positive and negative extraterrestrials, and the role of technology and AI, encouraging open-minded skepticism while highlighting that our beliefs and focus shape the timelines we move into.

In the latter half of the program, Bret Lueder described how his book "Agents of Ascension: UFO PR" grew from an early assignment for UFO Magazine at Mount Shasta, where he interviewed Diane Robbins, who claimed to channel beings from Telos, a legendary underground city. He explained the lore of Telos as a civilization descended from Lemuria, guided by Ascended Masters such as Saint Germain. Lueder outlined how these teachings connect to broader traditions of ascension: raising one's vibration, shedding negativity, and advancing spiritually. He emphasized Mount Shasta's role as a hub of mysterious phenomena, from UFOs to Bigfoot encounters, and recounted personal experiences and stories of unusual people he met there.
Lueder discussed how Mount Shasta is widely believed to be an energetic center, with competing theories linking it to ley lines, vortices, and even the chakras of the Earth. As a journalist, he noted that contradictory accounts are common, but nearly all agree that the mountain holds unusual spiritual or energetic significance, as reflected in Indigenous traditions and modern mystical claims. This led him to a broader realization: stories of hidden civilizations, whether Telos, Shambala, Agartha, or others, share recurring themes like giants, UFOs, immortality, and advanced technologies. According to Lueder, this allowed him to see these as part of a global, timeless campaign to awaken humanity to higher truths and its purpose of ascension.
He argued that these repeating myths function like a coordinated public relations (PR) effort. Just as propaganda and staged events have been used historically by governments and powers to shape belief, he suggested that hidden forces—whether benevolent or deceptive—use symbols, rituals, and stories to guide humanity's consciousness. He tied PR to occult traditions of magic, defining magic as the act of manifesting desired outcomes through intention, symbols, and rituals. PR is the modern pinnacle of these techniques, used both to manipulate society and, in the case of inner-earth traditions, perhaps to awaken it, he said, concluding that understanding these mechanisms helps reveal the deeper struggle over human free will and spiritual growth.
