How We Met Seth and Discovered the Deepest Teachings on Reality Ever Written
The Truth About Your Multidimensional Self
What if you’re not just one self, living one life? This episode dives into Seth’s model of the multidimensional self—simultaneous reincarnational, probable, and counterpart selves—and explores how understanding these other aspects of your being can expand your identity, shift your perspective, and open up new sources of guidance, healing, and growth.
Consciousness, Death, and the Safe Universe
Seth teaches that death is not an end, but a continuation of consciousness. In this episode, David and Mikhaila explore what really happens after death, how to heal grief and guilt from a multidimensional perspective, and how a deeper understanding of the “safe universe” principle can transform the way we live and love now.
The Purpose of Physical Reality and the Human Experience
Why are we here? According to Seth, physical reality is a powerful arena for learning to use consciousness creatively. This episode explores the purpose of life, the meaning of value fulfillment, and how the challenges of the human experience are not punishments—but opportunities for expansion, contribution, and joy.
Reframing God, Good, and Evil
Seth redefines the divine as “All That Is”—a source that is not outside of us, but within and expressed through us. In this episode, the hosts discuss Seth’s view of good and evil, personal responsibility, and the evolutionary impulse of consciousness. It’s a new paradigm for thinking about God, morality, and our role in the cosmos.
Episode 6 — This Is When You Change Everything
The True Nature of Time and the Power of the Present Moment
Time is not what we think it is. Seth’s concept of the “spacious present” shows that past, present, and future all exist simultaneously—and that our true point of power is always in the now. This episode explores how to use this understanding to free yourself from the past, change limiting beliefs, shift timelines, and access the full support of your inner being.
Episode 7 — Beyond Sleep
The Truth About the Dream State as the Creative Source Behind Physical Reality
Dreams aren’t just random brain static—they’re a vital part of how we create our physical lives. David and Mikhaila explore the dream state as a creative workshop for the waking world. They share practices for dream recall, incubation, and interpretation that can help you receive guidance, solve problems, and deepen your connection with your multidimensional self.
Episode 8 — Your Ego Is Not the Problem
Challenging Your Ideas About the Ego and the “Sinful Self”
Forget what you’ve been told about the ego and original sin (or its Eastern cousin, “bad karma”). Seth teaches that the ego is not bad, it’s just misunderstood. In this episode, the hosts explore how the ego can become a flexible, creative partner to the inner self, and how cultural beliefs in inherent sinfulness or unworthiness have distorted our sense of identity and potential.
Episode 9 — Your Programming Is Showing
Busting the Common Myths and Distorted Beliefs About Reality
From karma to fate to free will, this episode takes on the most common spiritual and cultural myths we’ve inherited—and unpacks what Seth actually says about them. David and Mikhaila explore how beliefs shape reality at every level, and how questioning inherited assumptions can unlock profound freedom and creative power.
Episode 10 — Why You’re Not Getting What You Want
The Common Blocks to Manifestation and Healing
If you know you create your own reality, but you’re still stuck in certain areas—this episode is for you. The hosts explore the most common blocks to manifestation, including conflicting beliefs, shame, unworthiness, and inner division. They share practical ways to uncover and transform these blocks so you can experience deeper healing, abundance, and alignment.
