Next Level Soul Podcast with Alex Ferrari

On today’s episode, we welcome the extraordinary Darius J. Wright, an explorer of realms beyond our physical grasp and a seeker of ancient truths. Darius’ journey is a profound dive into out-of-body experiences (OBEs) and an intricate understanding of our spiritual reality. His wisdom offers a roadmap to understanding the limitations we place on ourselves and the immense potential we have to transcend them.Darius explains that the out-of-body experience is a gateway to another dimension, akin to a near-death experience but available to anyone with the courage to overcome fear. As he describes, “Fear is the number one way to control your soul. When you step beyond it, you step into your true nature as an untouchable soul.” This state, according to Darius, offers access to celestial knowledge, including memories of the past and glimpses of future potential. By lowering the body’s magnetic field during sleep paralysis, he claims one can freely venture into these higher dimensions, encountering realms of light, love, and pure consciousness.Our conversation takes us into the history of ancient civilizations and their understanding of reality. According to Darius J. Wright, the ancients knew of humanity’s divine blueprint and the multi-dimensional nature of reality. They built monuments aligning with celestial cycles and understood how to use frequency to access portals between realms. This ancient wisdom, Darius suggests, was encoded in sacred sites around the world, from Egypt to Australia, and even the Americas, as reminders of our forgotten heritage.Darius believes that humanity’s path is leading us toward a period of revealing and remembering—a time when the illusion of separation fades and we recognize our interconnectedness. In his journeys, Darius has seen constructs dissolve, exposing our unity with creation. He speaks of accessing “universal records” and encountering higher beings who affirm humanity’s innate power to create, connect, and heal. This transformation, he says, is happening now, as more people open to these insights.We delved into the concept of raising one’s frequency, where Darius J. Wright shares that the highest vibrations—unconditional love, integrity, and authenticity—are our spiritual core. “You must step into a state of unconditional love for yourself. It’s the gateway to remembering who you truly are,” he insists. With this remembrance, he suggests, comes a natural healing of both body and soul, reconnecting us to the source.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS

1. Overcoming Fear as a Gateway: Fear holds us back from spiritual liberation. By facing and releasing fear, we open the door to realms where the soul’s true essence can be experienced.
2. Raising Our Frequency: Embracing unconditional love, authenticity, and integrity as daily practices brings us closer to our divine nature, promoting spiritual healing and deeper connections.
3. Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times: The ancients understood our connection to the cosmos, creating structures and practices to reflect this. Reclaiming this knowledge allows us to reconnect with our spiritual heritage.

As our conversation with Darius J. Wright draws to a close, we are left with the understanding that life is a journey of remembering, of peeling back the layers to reveal the timeless wisdom within. As he says, “We are all children of the divine, here to experience, to learn, and to remember.” This episode is an invitation to explore our deepest potential, to transcend the limitations of fear, and to awaken to the truth of our eternal nature.

In today's episode, we welcome Jennifer Shaffer, a gifted intuitive whose life's journey has taken her from a challenging childhood marked by extraordinary experiences to becoming a world-renowned psychic medium and investigator. Her story is a testament to the incredible ways the human spirit can evolve when faced with the extraordinary and the unexplainable.From a young age, Jennifer Shaffer began sensing and seeing things others couldn't. Raised in a deeply religious Mormon household, she encountered profound spiritual phenomena that left her feeling isolated and misunderstood. Yet, these early struggles planted the seeds for a life path that would later flourish into a career dedicated to helping others navigate the mysteries of existence. Jennifer describes her abilities as something everyone possesses but often overlooks. "Everyone's connected, and if they could remember that, they'd see the magic in their own lives," she shared during our conversation.As Jennifer matured, her intuitive gifts became undeniable. Initially a stockbroker managing vast sums of wealth, her spiritual gifts began to emerge in subtle ways, guiding her decisions and connecting her more deeply to her clients. Eventually, the pull to embrace her abilities fully led her to leave the corporate world and explore the spiritual realms more intentionally. This path took her into crime investigations, where her abilities have assisted law enforcement in solving countless cases, providing closure to grieving families.Jennifer's work is rooted in compassion and integrity, ensuring that her insights are used for healing and empowerment. She often reminds her clients that spiritual guidance is about shining a light on what they already know but may struggle to accept. “No one from the other side has ever told me they regret love, laughter, or joy,” she reflected. Her work is a poignant reminder to live fully and unapologetically, without holding back from life's simple pleasures.During our talk, Jennifer touched on the nature of human challenges, the collective consciousness, and the fascinating connections between quantum physics and spiritual insight. She views our interconnectedness as a bridge to understanding not only ourselves but also the vast mysteries of the universe. For those grappling with fear, Jennifer offers this wisdom from the other side: "Fall deeply in love with yourself. From that place of love, everything else transforms."
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS

1. Oneness is Key: Jennifer emphasizes that we are always connected—to each other, to the universe, and to our higher selves. Recognizing this connection can transform how we see and experience life.
2. Challenges as Growth Opportunities: Whether personal or collective, challenges are not roadblocks but opportunities to evolve. Jennifer believes that humanity is moving towards greater awareness and collaboration despite the tumult.
3. Living in the Present: The drama of life often disconnects us from our inner peace. Meditation, laughter, and mindful practices are tools that raise our vibration and anchor us in the now.

In closing, Jennifer left us with a heartfelt message: “Stay on your path, wherever it may lead. The journey is the reward, and every step matters.”
