Thank you Laura for connecting me with Renata Maniaci.  Renata lives in Costa Rica but grew up in Door County Wisconsin.  Door County is in the northeast part of Wisconsin, many describe as a pristine part of the state that is surround by the beauty of nature.  I live in Upper Michigan and as the crow flies the tip of the county is about 20 miles away.  Many who live here, or there, are drawn to nature and have realized that it is an incredible way to stay grounded and connected to Gaia.  We talk about that and many other things, but what I like about Renata is how centered she is and how she delivers her message.  She chooses her words carefully and gently.  I always see that as a sign of a higher evolved state, we can speak abruptly or we can speak words that come from love.  In this show we talk about connecting with our Higher Self, the 5th Dimension and other topics.  I've always wondered how so many have come to believe we are ascending to the 5th dimension, where did that come from?  Renata explains how it came to her, something we all can tap into.  From my perspective, and use your own discretion, she is the real deal.  There are so many out there saying so many things and we can easily be misled.  We need discernment with anything we look at.  I have come to think I can spot a higher truth when I see it, but I can be wrong also.  I have a really good feeling talking to Ren, for whatever that's worth.

In 2020, Ren founded Up Up & Awaken Productions which creates transformational content designed to assist humanity through the awakening process. Ren also founded Hana Healing Arts LLC, a spiritual healing practice that uses energy medicine and angelic helpers to serve in one’s awakening. Most of this work is now done in group sessions, or through courses on Patreon.  Ren also hosts the "Let's Get Metaphysical" podcast.  After listening to a couple shows I knew I wanted to hear more of what she had to say.  You can check out her podcast and Up Up And Awaken site on the links below.

It's easy to get riled up with all that's go on.  I know I  have been.  Again we seem to be stuck choosing one side or the other, why not both?  Why not see both sides and not get emotionally involved?  How can you do that, are you heartless?  No.  I just found my centered space, my inner Switzerland, somewhere near Zurich I think.  It allowed me to let go, to detach.  In doing so I can look at all sides and not feel emotional when someone says something that I may not agree with.  We can learn in all of this detachment from ego and our opinions, letting go of what may or may not be the truth, how do we truly know?  Returning to love and realizing that maybe some things that go on here are trying to keep us from being in that state.  Giving up our power by allowing others words to influence us.  When someone disagrees with you, what's your first reaction?  Anger?  Sadness?  Instead, from a detached position it can be... okay, thanks for your input.  It's a chance to grow as far as I'm concerned so that we realize we have a choice on how we react.  We can choose love which to me is always what we're being shown.  I think of the two men involved in this event, I believe they chose this to wake others up.  If that's true, then maybe we shouldn't judge and be thankful for the opportunity to learn.  "But I'm frustrated and worried for the world, how can I help bring about change?"  By putting more love in your heart and staying detached.  Then again, what do I know?  Has confronting others worked for you?  If the answer is no then maybe this is a great opportunity to learn or remember what we already know.

Larry Costa from Florida joins me this week and talks about his many ghost experiences, not what most of us would typically have.  He also talks about a picture he took of a ufo which has led him to od further investigation.
