Ep 112Episode 112 - Animal Communication, Signs & What Happens After Death with Olivia LaBarre
In this episode I sit down with Olivia LaBarre, an animal communicator, Reiki practitioner, and pet loss bereavement specialist, to explore one of the most personal questions many of us carry: can we still connect with animals after they've gone? Olivia explains how she receives information from both living and deceased animals, tuning in through intention and attention rather than spoken language. She walks me through how that connection feels from the inside, how she distinguishes genuine communication from her own imagination, and why she believes this is a skill anyone can learn rather than a rare gift. We discuss some remarkable evidential readings, including a case involving circus tents that Olivia almost didn't dare mention, and a recurring pattern of candles extinguishing at the precise moment of an animal's passing from a location miles away. The conversation then moves into bigger territory: what animals have shown Olivia about consciousness after physical death, how their descriptions compare with near-death experience accounts, and whether those we've lost are, in some meaningful sense, still reachable.

Ep 111Episode 111 - Is Your Imagination Shaping Your Reality? Neville, Coué & Consciousness with Tim Grimes
In this episode of Seeking I, I sit down with Tim Grimes, author, coach, and one of the people responsible for reigniting modern interest in the work of Neville Goddard. Tim has spent nearly 30 years exploring consciousness, imagination, and what these teachings actually mean when you strip away the hype. We dig into whether imagination genuinely influences physical reality or whether the effect is purely psychological. We discuss Neville Goddard and the very real danger of misinterpreting his work, Emile Coué and his largely forgotten but documented record of helping tens of thousands of people heal, and Maxwell Maltz's Psycho-Cybernetics as perhaps the most practical bridge between all of it. Tim brings a rare combination, genuine depth with genuine scepticism, and he pulls no punches about where these teachings over-promise and under-deliver. I also share something personal in this episode, a significant financial loss from my own crypto investments that raises a question I think anyone who has explored these ideas will recognise. I was living with complete conviction that things were set. And then they weren't. So what does that mean? This is one of the more honest and grounded conversations I've had on Seeking I, and I think it will resonate with anyone who is drawn to these ideas but refuses to take them entirely on faith.

S1 Ep 110Episode 110 - What Depression Taught Me About the Nature of Experience
In this solo episode of the Seeking I podcast, I share a personal reflection on my experience with depression and how it changed the way I understand experience itself. Rather than approaching depression purely from a self-help or clinical perspective, this episode explores something slightly different: what the condition reveals about how our internal experience is constructed. How much of our emotional life reflects the external world, and how much is generated internally by the brain and mind? Through personal reflection and careful observation, this discussion examines how shifts in mood can dramatically change how reality appears, and what that might tell us about consciousness more broadly. This is not presented as medical advice, but as an honest exploration of experience and what it may reveal about the nature of mind.

S1 Ep 109Episode 109 – Children, Ontology & Extraordinary Experience with Dr Donna Thomas
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Donna Thomas, whose research explores children’s extraordinary and so-called “extrasensory” experiences. We discuss: The unexamined materialist assumptions embedded in social science What we mean by “self,” “identity,” and “subjectivity” Children’s reports of unusual experiences Whether physicalist models have sufficient explanatory power Why certain forms of experience are dismissed before being examined This is not a conversation about belief. It’s a discussion about explanatory frameworks and intellectual honesty.

Video: https://youtu.be/gFigVsdgIxM ABOUT BETTY Betty Guadagno’s journey began in a world of hardship and trauma, navigating drug addiction, prostitution, and the tragic loss of both her parents to suicide. Her life took a profound turn in March 2019, following a near-death-like experience from a drug overdose.During this experience, she went through a detailed life review, reconnected with loved ones who had passed, and was shown her divine mission. She was even taken through the intricacies of her pre-birth plan, realizing that she wasn’t merely a victim of circumstance but an active co-creator of her life. Initially, she thought the experience was merely drug-induced psychosis, but months later, she experienced a spontaneous healing from heroin withdrawal, confirming for her that something far greater had occurred.Based in Brooklyn, NY, Betty lives a life dedicated to service. She works as a transformation coach, podcast host, and serves as the IANDS (International Association of Near Death Studies) NYC local group leader, helping others discover that transformation is possible no matter their past .** SEEKING I **Links: https://linktr.ee/seekingi
Ep 86Episode 86 - Impressions of Near-Death Experiences with Bob Coppes
Video: https://youtu.be/LlRAEOB0jFw Bob's Website: https://www.bobcoppes.com/ ABOUT BOB In 1978, when Bob read the first book on Near-death Experiences (by Raymond Moody), he knew for sure that it was right. He felt that with every fibre of his being. Especially when he read that there is no-one who judges us after our death. There was a shock through his body, because he knew it was correct. This was contrary to what he had learned as a Roman Catholic, and is why he wanted to compare the essences of NDEs with the essences of the five world religions. Although he wanted to know that out of interest, his study ran so much out of hand that he decided to write and publish his findings in his book: ‘The Essence of Religions’. In the meantime, Bob met more and more NDErs, and decided to describe their extraordinary stories and views in a book, ‘Messages from The Light’, was translated into three languages. His newest work is 'Impressions of Near-Death Experiences', a collection of hundreds of quotes from NDErs, thoughtfully categorized under a broad spectrum of major headings. Bob considers this his best book on NDEs, due to the wealth of quotes from experiencers - in his opinion the best tutors in life. ** SEEKING I ** Links: https://linktr.ee/seekingi

Ep 82Episode 82 - Finding Wisdom in Silence and Common Sense with John Butler
** SEEKING I ** Subscribe to the Seeking I YouTube channel In this episode, I talk to spiritual teacher John Butler on the subjects of life after death, nature, meditation and how we can use silence common sense to learn about life and the world around us. ABOUT JOHN Subscribe to John's YouTube Channel At first sight, John Butler is not one to make much of an impression. Quiet, soft-spoken and usually alone, he became known – in the 1970’s – as one of the first organic farmers.Having, throughout his life also practiced meditation, 8 years ago, at the age of 79, he was recommended to ConsciousTV, a Youtube channel, focusing on those with experience of higher consciousness. Unwilling at first to face publicity, he was later persuaded to be interviewed. This has since become the most popular item on the channel with 3.9m views. Soon after his debut on ConsciousTV, Phil Shankland found one of John’s books in a charity book sale in Sheffield, was interested, came to see him, and then decided to move and live nearby. Encouraged by success on Conscious TV, they decided to make some videos themselves. This developed into the Youtube Spiritual Unfoldment Channel, which presently has over 230,000 subscribers and 24 million views, besides substantial followings on Facebook, Instagram, with the ASMR community and, most recently, Spotify.
