COVID Vaccines: A Spiritual Perspective You Haven’t Heard About | Thomas Mayer

Spirit Gym with Paul Chek 2025-09-16 | Paul has spoken at length about his daily health regimen that has prevented him from missing a day of work for more than 40 years. That is, until one day six months ago when he became sicker and weaker than he ever has in his entire working life…

Immediately, Paul recognized some of his symptoms were ones attributed to COVID, but others came in attacks from spiritual entities, including one that penetrated his body for the very first time.

Paul shares his spiritual experiences with author, researcher and Anthroposophy expert Thomas Mayer as they examine the COVID pandemic through the lens of spiritual science this week on Spirit Gym.

Learn more about Thomas and his work in Anthroposophical meditation at his website at https://www.anthroposophische-meditation.de/english

Listen to Paul's conversation with Thomas Mayer, find links to his books and check out the show notes page on our Spirit Gym website at paulchek.com/blog/podcast-episodes/363-covid-vaccines-a-spiritual-perspective-you-havent-heard-about-with-thomas-mayer

0:00 Intro
2:27 Paul’s battle with COVID in the form of a spiritual attack.
27:54 Questions one must ask from a spiritual perspective in relation to COVID vaccines.
37:57 It took Paul eight days of intense cleaning and working with God and his soul to clear out the entities from his body.
41:45 The effect of COVID and vaccines must be examined on your physical and spiritual body.
47:34 Who are the members of your spiritual team?
54:16 Rudolf Steiner recognized how transhumanist materialism would take over the world more than a century ago.
1:00:27 The goal of a materialistic world religion.
1:11:16 “COVID is a black magic story.”
1:23:27 Are entities behind every cell phone tower and inside mobile phones?
1:32:04 Know the difference between worthy and unnecessary fears and learn how to deal with them.
1:50:08 Thomas recalls an experience he had never had with a client until…
1:58:37 The steps you must take to examine why you took a COVID vaccine in the first place, then make changes to heal.
2:05:41 “If you have the intention, you can do something…”
2:19:02 Paul’s bout with COVID lasted about 15 days.
2:23:14 What happens to your soul after you die post-COVID when taking drugs like vaccines or ones to hasten suicide?
2:36:37 How do we prepare for a second COVID?

What Chickens Taught Me About Healing | Daniel Firth Griffith

Spirit Gym with Paul Chek 2025-09-09 | What do you do in a health crisis when all of the allopathic experts you’ve seen have no clue how to heal you?

When faced with extreme health problems and no answers, philosopher, farmer and award-winning author Daniel Firth Griffith took his Mom’s advice — chickens — and became a living example of the many benefits active, holistic approaches provide.

Daniel describes how his wellness transformation went hand-in-hand with a love for farming and storytelling and explains why, in its truest form, myth is a silence with legs, this week on Spirit Gym.

Learn more about Daniel’s work as a storyteller and horse-drawn woodwright at his website at danielfirthgriffith.com , Substack at danielfirthgriffith.substack.com and on social media via Instagram at instagram.com/daniel.firth.griffith .

Check out his growing number of books and writings on his writing/books page at danielfirthgriffith.com/collections/books or on Amazon.

Listen to his Unshod podcast on Apple Podcasts at podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unshod-with-d-firth-griffith/id1641181893 or wherever you get them.

0:00 Intro
8:15 Could chickens be an effective treatment for degenerative bone disease?
12:35 Have you really tasted a potato?
20:45 Humans are constantly trying to be rooted not unlike a carrot or potato.
31:06 Myth as defined by Daniel.
48:33 The concept of Creator extends far beyond Native American cultures.
55:13 Myth emerges from our bodies.
1:14:20 Sacred harvests with blood and oxygen.
1:22:30 “How do we keep that oral living ecotone alive in a bastardized medium known as the written word?”
1:29:30 The divine feminine.
1:41:21 “Myth provides us a silence with legs.”
1:47:34 Are you connected or disconnected from the world?
1:55:56 A living myth of foraging.
2:05:51 The differences between world sense and world view.
2:14:49 An uncomfortable, paradoxical connection.
2:23:31 The chemical makeup of an animal that doesn’t give you its consent to eat it changes radically and for the worse.
2:27:35 “Mythology presents a paradox of being, because it says be here, but the here is nowhere… it's everywhere.”
2:38:31 Are you a non-consensus human?
2:46:11 Be fearless, not courageous.
2:50:18 “Remembering is the greatest act of rebellion, but we’re so poor at remembering...”
2:57:22 “Our lives are so unpracticed in the act of living that we have to practice living to have life again.”
3:01:36 The foundation of myth.

The Shocking Truth About Nutrient Loss in Food | Dr. Autumn Smith

Spirit Gym with Paul Chek 2025-08-26 | No matter how many resources of great scientific information that are available to us, how little you don’t know about the foods you eat can be the difference between living the good life and one full of sickness.

Dr. Autumn Smith, co-founder of Paleovalley and Wild Pastures, knows this all too well as a once very sick person who healed herself via nutrition (with help from Paul via CD) many years ago.

Autumn shares her life’s continuing food as medicine mission, her recent Ph.D. studies on nutrient densities of meat and her concerns about efficiency over ecology in the food industry this week on Spirit Gym.

Learn more about Autumn’s inspiring journey on YouTube at youtu.be/eQhrFHWbX24?si=sYCHD2tUN8HEaP-Z and watch her eight-part ReThink Meat series at youtube.com/playlist?list=PLabGT_eoaDQim1TD868KyUDpIbSLxYQO6 .

Why Your Heart — Not Your Brain — is the Real Master | Rollin McCraty

Spirit Gym with Paul Chek 2025-08-19 | There have been countless arguments throughout millennia among great thinkers and scholars debating what organ in our body really runs the show. Is it the brain that stores our thoughts and information that drives our human spirit or our hearts that not only pump blood throughout our bodies but guide our feelings and emotions?

Rollin McCraty, executive VP and director of research for the HeartMath Institute, describes how our energetic hearts allow us to connect to our deeper selves and the world via a consciousness upgrade this week on Spirit Gym.

Learn more about Rollin’s work at the HeartMath Institute website at heartmath.org and on social media via Facebook at facebook.com/HeartMathInstitute and facebook.com/GlobalCoherenceInitiative , YouTube at youtube.com/user/HeartMathInstitute and Instagram at instagram.com/heartmathinstitute .

11:00 A curious Rollin asks questions his college professors couldn’t be bothered to answer.
18:20 HeartMath founder Doc Lew Childre meets Rollin for the first time.

52:03 Have you changed your world paradigms lately?
1:07:01 How do you describe coherence?
1:12:05 Heart rate variability: The most reflective measurement of a person’s emotional state.
1:17:52 The vagus nerve connection.
1:28:04 Love as the organizing intelligence that informs our physical reality.
1:31:07 Love as a spectrum of frequencies.
1:42:47 How the heart informs our emotional experiences.
1:46:20 What separates us from our pets.
1:52:33 Water, electromagnetic fields and the human heartbeat.
2:01:48 “The two primary magnetic rhythms of Earth overlap our physiology — our heart and brain — exactly and it’s not close.”
2:12:24 The baseline frequency for our planet is love, yet humanity has been out of phase of that baseline for a long time.
2:25:58 The AI problem.

Channeling is a Skill Anyone Can Learn | Cynthia Rivard

Spirit Gym with Paul Chek 2025-08-12 | Despite what you may have assumed about channeling, it’s not a superpower that a minuscule few can tap into. The ability to channel is a gift you can master any time in your life, but only if you’re willing to do the work.

Cynthia Rivard shares her journey from executive boardrooms and raising four children to following the breadcrumbs to the spiritual space via channeling this week on Spirit Gym.

Learn more about Cynthia and her work and free training resources on her website at cynthiarivard.com and social media via Facebook at facebook.com/cj.rivard , Instagram at instagram.com/cjrivard and YouTube at youtube.com/channel/UCsYrmWerhZDgMIebkwwpWog

3:20 You can never be too old to wake up, stay open to possibilities and follow the breadcrumbs from Source.
12:35 “All of us have divinity within us.”
20:30 World religions and new age culture have created too many walls between us and the divine.
31:19 Most of our struggles originate from human choices and toxic emotions that are stuck inside us that we must work on.
43:55 Wisdom comes from your connection to Spirit regardless how old or young you are.
54:06 Could you be using technology to hide from the world?
1:01:46 People are afraid to dream because they fear change.
1:16:31 Spiritual marketing and corporate religion.
1:21:29 This kinesiology tool helped Cynthia connect with Spirit and her clairsentience.
1:26:31 Improve your frequency by doing these things.
1:37:55 “Sharing what we know with others is the best way to make an impact.”
1:47:41 Change is coming…

Uncomfortable Truths No One Tells You About Meditation | Michael Holt

Spirit Gym with Paul Chek 2025-08-05 | The practice of meditation is a safe and gentle way to liberate you from the noise and rebuild your inner peace and calm.

Yet, it takes a lot of work to master it, and what you may learn about yourself once you get there — depending on how much you’ve stuffed down into your unconscious mind — may be painful…

CHEK Practitioner Michael Holt describes some of the uncomfortable truths about meditation that no one will tell you unless/until you do the work this week on Spirit Gym.

How Storytelling Became the Most Dangerous Weapon On Earth | Ben Stewart

Spirit Gym with Paul Chek 2025-07-01 | Did you ever consider the movies, TV shows and YouTube videos you watch may be bending your mind, will and health in harmful ways?

Staring at screens for many hours each day (in addition to the time you spend in front of a computer monitor each work day) is quietly training your brain and shaping your worldview for good and bad.

Not to mention, all of this staring fills you up with other people’s myths and stories at the expense of creating your own and living a fuller, richer life.

Filmmaker Ben Stewart ( paulchek.com/blog/podcast-episodes/episode-13-ben-stewart-beyond-the-veil-of-deception ) describes the tactics mass media uses to bend your mind to their will and how you can turn the tables by living your own myths and stories and embracing the badassery of being human by learning how to use the tools the fat cats use for good, this week on Spirit Gym.

Learn more about Ben’s work on his website at benjosephstewart.com and social media via Instagram at instagram.com/benjosephstewart . Watch his series Psychedelica at gaia.com/series/psychedelica and Limitless at gaia.com/series/limitless on Gaia.

Think You Understand Bitcoin? You Probably Don’t! | Joe Bryan

Spirit Gym with Paul Chek 2025-06-10 | Remember the beginnings of the Internet in the consumer world more than 30 years ago?

Times have changed exponentially from the early days when you could only connect to the World Wide Web on a very bulky home computer via telephone land lines, “surfing” speeds were a crawl and Amazon wasn’t the fastest or cheapest way to buy a book! Whether you interact with the Internet daily or not, you can’t deny that it’s changed your life.

Some believe we’re living in a similar inflection point today with the rise of Bitcoin, a decentralized form of cryptocurrency separated from the control of people, business entities and even banks, due to the continued corruption of the world’s financial system.

Former Oxford-trained physicist and Wall Street trader turned entrepreneur Joe Bryan reveals how our current financial system really works and who it actually serves (not us!), and why Bitcoin could transform the world — If you fix the money, you fix the world… — this week on Spirit Gym.

During their conversation, Paul and Joe recommend watching the video What’s the Problem? that connects the dots about the world’s financial problems, its root causes and how Bitcoin may solve them. Watch it on YouTube at youtu.be/YtFOxNbmD38?si=wNJJhxMSCAr9L2bn or Joe’s SatsVsFiat website at satsvsfiat.com

1:44:00 Bitcoin is a more valuable asset than silver.
1:51:53 The mining aspect behind Bitcoin.
2:01:20 Your odds of winning a lottery are better than winning a block on Bitcoin.
2:10:41 The mainstream environmental untruth about Bitcoin.
2:21:19 Bitcoin functions like the infinite game described in the work of the late James Carse.

The Essential Alchemy of Man and Woman | Julie Dean Richards

Spirit Gym with Paul Chek 2025-05-27 | As modern culture claims it strives for equality between the sexes, why does our society feel more unequal than ever, especially for women?

This inequality many of us feel stems from the existing patriarchal stranglehold on society that often leaves women competing with men for the very same things, yet feeling unfulfilled emotionally, mentally, spiritually and sexually. How can we begin to change the dynamic between the sexes that celebrates what makes women and men so unique?

Julie Dean Richards weighs in on the work it will take for women to embrace being their best and truest selves and how archetypes and alchemy play major roles in accomplishing it this week on Spirit Gym. (Listen to her previous Spirit Gym conversation with Paul at paulchek.com/blog/podcast-episodes/episode-301-julie-richards-the-crunchy-legal-lady-facing-reality-together )

1:52:44 Julie’s alchemical journey with sex.

The Law of One | Aaron Abke

Spirit Gym with Paul Chek 2025-04-22 | Why do people call religion organized?

Depending on where you go, a spiritual leader will lead you to feel something — it could be fire and brimstone fear or insincere feelings of piety — all the while avoiding the hard questions and truths that gnaw on your soul.

As an evangelical pastor’s son, Aaron Abke knew that organized world all too well and tried to live that prescribed life for a very short time as a pastor of his own church, until he left it all behind at the ripe old age of 23 because he stopped believing in what he was preaching.

Aaron shares a spiritual journey that took him from the fundamentalist pulpit to Ra and the Law of One and all the answers he was looking for this week on Spirit Gym.

Learn more about Aaron and his work on his website at aaronabke.com and 4D University at 4duniversity.com . Find him on social media via Instagram at instagram.com/aaronabke and YouTube at youtube.com/aaronabke .

2:04:29 A part of Aaron always knew the Law of One, yet didn’t know it.
2:16:21 More basics for understanding Ra’s teachings.
2:27:21 A perfect metaphysical explanation for trauma.
2:44:48 “I think the time of man being able to sequester itself and religion is just long gone on our planet.”

Vision and Holism | Dr. Jacob Liberman

Spirit Gym with Paul Chek 2025-04-08 | Is it possible to correct your vision to a perfect state merely after meditating?

Just the possibility of it sounds fantastic but very true, as Dr. Jacob Israel Liberman shares how a single session of meditation led to 20/20 vision and a far greater awareness of being able to see what’s invisible to most people due to their conditioning this week on Spirit Gym.

Learn more about Jacob’s work and consulting services on his website at jacobliberman.org . Find Jacob on social media via Facebook at facebook.com/DrJacobLiberman , Instagram at instagram.com/drjacobliberman and YouTube at youtube.com/@jacobliberman3207/videos .

0:00 Intro
5:57 “Awareness is curative.”
18:21 Despite machines telling Jacob that he had visual impairments, he could see without glasses.
26:13 Thoughts, beliefs and ideas we identify as ours are reflected in our biology.
29:44 Mindfulness or mindlessness?
39:42 “Depth perception is about seeing deeply and that’s what my life’s work is all about.”
48:53 People don’t understand that belief means the opposite of truth.
58:03 Humans are designed to see the invisible, yet the way we are conditioned blocks our sight.
1:07:17 Can you hear well after taking your glasses off?
1:20:00 “Knowing is different than thinking.”
1:30:43 When the field of vision begins to collapse.
1:35:22 “The answers come by themselves.”
1:41:17 The power of experiencing something rather than reading about it.
1:49:01 In an enlightened state, often, two is becoming one.
2:03:39 Jacob’s next book: A memoir.
2:11:15 Desperation is the absence of inspiration.
2:27:57 “What if our life is a prayer?”
2:38:00 People can be affected very differently by the same color.
2:46:02 A human homeopathic remedy.
2:56:36 Regaining our common sense.
