What if the beliefs you left behind… are still running you? And what if guilt, obedience, and self-denial aren’t virtues, but inherited scripts designed to keep you small? Stay tuned in this episode we show you a new way of thinking that could rewrite your souls code.

The prevailing inquiry of this discourse centers on the unsettling notion that the beliefs we have purportedly abandoned continue to exert influence over our lives. In this compelling conversation, I have an in-depth discussion with Reginald Martin, a spiritual architect and the visionary behind Kametaphysics™, a transformative methodology aimed at empowering individuals to rewire the subconscious frameworks governing their identities. This ideology and practice is based upon a contemporary spiritual framework drawing heavily from ancient Egyptian wisdom, including elements of the Kemetic Tree of Life, Ma'at, and Osiris' teachings on reincarnation

Reginald's journey transcends mere disaffection with Christianity; it embodies a profound departure from a paradigm that equates suffering with value and obedience with sanctity. Through a synthesis of ancient Kemetic wisdom and contemporary psychological insights, he articulates a pathway not merely for deconstruction of old beliefs but for a true resurrection of the self.

This dialogue serves as a poignant reminder that the scripts inherited from our past do not define our essence; rather, we possess the innate capacity to reclaim and redefine our soul’s original code.

Takeaways:

• The beliefs we abandon may continue to influence our lives subconsciously, limiting our potential.
• Guilt and obedience are often misconstrued as virtues, yet they may serve as constraints on our true selves.
• Kametaphysics™ offers a framework for rewriting one's soul code and fostering personal liberation.
• Understanding the difference between obedience and alignment can transform how we lead and create authentically.
• True spiritual freedom requires recognizing inherited scripts that keep us in a state of self-denial and guilt.
• The journey of identity resurrection entails embracing our inherent divinity rather than viewing ourselves through the lens of sin.

What if your near-death experience at age seven wasn’t the end—but the beginning of a lifelong mission?

In this electrifying episode of One More Thing Before You Go, host Michael sits down with Peter Gunn—U.S. Air Force veteran, bodybuilder, coffee connoisseur, and poet—whose life reads like an epic. But Peter isn’t just living a hero’s journey. He’s rewriting it.

From surviving childhood obesity and a profound near-death experience, to serving 20 years in the military, Peter’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and revelation. When he became a father, he saw a glaring omission in the classic epics: the absence of the feminine. So he created The Amazons—a lyrical saga that places women at the center of myth, not the margins.

In this conversation, we explore:

• The power of storytelling to reshape identity and legacy
• How Peter’s near-death experience sparked a lifelong creative fire
• Why the Amazonion's challenge the traditional hero’s arc
• What it means to honor both masculine and feminine forces in myth
• How poetry can be a weapon of peace, truth, and transformation

This episode is a cinematic journey into myth, meaning, and the stories that shape us. Don’t miss it.

What if success wasn’t wealth, but human connection? And what if the systems we live by: education, healthcare, justice aren’t broken… but functioning exactly as designed? Success, as we explore in this discourse, may not be epitomized by wealth but rather by the depth of human connection.

In our conversation with Alex Kain, a distinguished entrepreneur and systems thinker, we delve into the provocative inquiry of whether our societal systems—education, healthcare, and justice—are indeed broken or merely functioning as they were designed. Kain presents a compelling manifesto that challenges the conventional paradigms of success, urging us to reconsider the fundamental definitions of value and impact in our lives. Drawing inspiration from notable works such as Doughnut Economics and Utopia for Realists, he offers a blueprint for cultivating a more equitable, interconnected, and purpose-driven society. This dialogue transcends mere critique of existing structures; it serves as a clarion call for a collective reclamation of what is sacred in our human experience.

Takeaways:

• This episode challenges the conventional notion of success, proposing that true success stems from meaningful human connections rather than mere accumulation of wealth.
• Alex Kain advocates for a radical rethinking of societal systems such as education and healthcare, suggesting they are functioning as intended rather than being fundamentally broken.
• The philosophy encourages individuals to reflect on their personal definitions of success and to prioritize contribution and fulfillment over material gain.
• A transformative education system that instills values of empathy and respect is essential for nurturing a more humane society, according to Alex Kain.
• The conversation emphasizes the importance of community and grassroots connections as a means to foster social change and collective responsibility.
• Ultimately, the episode serves as a call to action for listeners to question inherited societal norms and to envision a new framework for success that prioritizes human connection.
