When you tune into humanity right now, what do you see first or feel?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 0:04
Despite the darkness, there's brightness ahead. I think what we're going through at the moment is, I would call it birth pangs. They're uncomfortable, and never before in human history have been so connected on one level and so disconnected on another level. The war that's happening in the Middle East is the start of something bigger. You never thought anybody could have done those sort of things. The rules have been completely overturned at the moment, me and they've told us to look forward to a better world. It will be a better world. That is, this is not the end of things. Somehow we're going to have to rethink things, because the system we've got at the moment, doesn't really work very well.

Alex Ferrari 0:42
What kind of global power shifts do you see over the next decade?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 0:46
Is that they try to give us a remedy, and they keep saying over and over again that the remedy is for people to..

Alex Ferrari 1:04
I like to welcome back to the show returning champion Craig Hamilton-Parker, how you doing, Craig?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 1:09
Oh, very well. Thanks. Good to be back. Nice to see you again.

Alex Ferrari 1:12
Thank you so much for coming back, my friend. Our last conversation was there was a lot of predictions in there, and unfortunately, a lot of those predictions came true.

Craig Hamilton-Parker 1:24
Sadly, yes,

Alex Ferrari 1:26
Sadly, a lot of those, a lot of those predictions that you, you laid out in that first interview, have come true. And the the world is a bit upside down now. But so my first question is, when you tune into humanity right now, what do you see first or feel first?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 1:44
Right! Well, division, I think, is, is the key word, isn't it? And I think I would also say unconsciousness, in many ways, because sometimes division is caused when people fall into a sort of a mass unconsciousness. I mean, it happened. It happened before the beginning of the Second World War. I remember Carl Jung talking about how a mass unconsciousness kind of takes over a nation, and people fall. And, and people kind of fall, they're looking outside for answers when they should be looking inside for answers, really. And and you sort of think what I'm mixed up in myself, I've got to find something I can belong in. So it could be this extreme or that extreme. This is where politics and religion. So that's my first thought. But behind it, Alex, I think there's something better too. I think something good is going to come out of all this.

Alex Ferrari 2:39
Tell me. Tell me. What do you think it's going to come out of all of this?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 2:42
Well, it's going to take a time. And I've been exploring all sorts of things to try to work out what the agenda is ahead of us. Now, obviously I've been using clairvoyance for some of this, of course. So that's what my whole channel is all about, doing clairvoyance and seeing next, next week's news today. But I also explore India, and I know you've had on your show, Dr Q, who's a close friend of mine, and look at the nadi oracles. And I know many Nadi readers, and I've been looking at the ancient oracles of India and seeing what they can say. And lots and lots has been revealed at the moment. So I think we got a very tough time ahead up until about 2030 and then things start to change. And I'm a great and I know many other psychic people and spiritual people and astrologers all kind of had the same gut feeling and have done through the centuries, really, that we are still, despite the darkness, there's brightness ahead. I think what we're going through at the moment is, I would call it birth pangs. They're uncomfortable. I don't have them myself, of course, but I mean, from what you see, they're uncomfortable, they're painful, it's but there's something beautiful at the end of it. And and I think this is what we're going we're going through a birth Pang to a better age, a new age. And that would take some explaining. It's not all, not all champagne and rubber plants and cocktails and holidays. It's something much deeper than that. But so yes, we got to go through this at the moment. And I think actually it's a really important time to be living, I think with some of the luckiest individuals on Earth to be living at this time, actually, because I think we're at the time of a turning point where our significance as people, as people, is very important, and also the opportunities for us to find spiritual advancement in these times is probably greater than any other time in human history.

Alex Ferrari 4:41
It's interesting that I love the analogy of the birth pains, because it's exactly it's a great analogy of what we're going through right now. But if you go through history, if you just look through history, we've gone through many of these. It just seems now. I mean different world wars, different issues. Issues. I mean, volcanoes exploding over throughout history, earthquakes, massive shifts in humanity. Obviously, there's that flood thing that happened a few 1000 years ago, 10,000 or so years ago, and all of these things. So it seems like humanity keeps going through all of this, I think. But right now, it seems, or feels, so much more amplified because of technology and the connection we all have, and we're able to see things instantly as they're, you know, as they're happening. Where before in World War Two, there was the news reels. That's the only way we would get information about what was going on in World War Two is, we go to a movie theater, we sit down, and there would be a quick two or three minute news reel. Now you just pick up your phone and you're ready. You're watching the bombs being dropped, or you're watching this political thing. Are you watching this? It's, it's just, do you agree with that? Do you think that's just because we're so amplified, feel so amplified?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 6:02
Absolutely. I mean, never before in human history have been so connected on one level and so disconnected on another level, you know, because that, I mean, they, they talk about, you know, join this community and that community. They're not communities. Communities are where you actually meet people face to face, and you have to have your normal human interactions without hiding behind usernames and things like this, you know. And I think it's we've had a boost in artificial intelligence and a dumbing down of human intelligence as well. I think people have lost the ability to communicate with one another. And of course, now we're in a situation where we got all this so called news, but we don't know what's real and what's not, and and that makes it even worse, because normally here in the UK, you know, people would, most of the discussions would be down the pub. You know, people have a chat over a pint of beer, and they'd all, they'd all shout off about this and that and come away. And nobody's changed their minds at all, but everybody's spoken their thoughts nowadays, you don't know what's real and what's not. And I think this is where, where we have so much fear, because we don't trust our politicians. Often we can't trust our spiritual leaders, too, with some of the horrible things that we see coming out of that we where do we look? Where do we look? And every time we look outside, we find all the time we find delusions and people mixed up, and people who think they've got enlightenment and spouting off about all sorts of craziness. There's no common sense. And I think all the time. I think what we got to come back to all this is we got to, first and foremost, say, who am I? Who am I if I chucked all this rubbish out, if there wasn't all this internet, if there wasn't all these people, if there wasn't all these opinions being put on me by left or by right, and it was just me, what would I think? You know, and that's why I think people go wrong sometimes, because they're always kind of wanting to associate with this, wanting to be part of this, you know, wanting to feel part of the group consciousness. And I think that's where it's going wrong. We've got to get back to our individual consciousness. And although, you know, the internet and everything can advertising, particularly is telling you how unique you are and how this is your choices and things like that, and they use all that jargon to market and advertise things. The fact is, we've lost that sense of self identity. We've lost that ability to stand on our own feet, and we lost the courage to stand up and be wrong sometimes. And I think that is what's critical at the moment in the human How can we say that the spirit of our age at the moment, it's like we've lost our sense of courage to be ourselves and to courage to say something wrong, and the courage to to think, say the Emperor's got no clothes. Yeah, and I think this is a fundamental problem that I feel when I sort of, you know, because a lot of what I do is obviously talking to people all around the world. When you're doing things like mediumistic and psychic readings, it's amazing how you talk. I can be talking to someone in China one day, Taiwan. I can be talking to someone in India, in America, UK, you know, all over, all over and everybody's got the same worries, the same concerns, the same fears. It's universal, and we're going wrong. We're going wrong somewhere, and I think, I think I know what we're missing. I think we're identifying we're looking at the wrong place for the answers to happiness. We've got to find the happiness in ourselves, not be trying to seek it elsewhere, and that's a slippery slope when we do that.

Alex Ferrari 9:47
But Craig, isn't it? What you were saying that the you know, everyone's trying to go into different kind of camps or sides or tribes, but this is a very primal i. Thing as a human. Humans want we are, we're, we're community based beings. You know, animals, we need community because that's the only way we survive. We're not really, truly built for this planet. Really well, we don't have fur that covers us from the sun. If we stay on the sun, we burn. You know, we're not particularly stronger than most of the other mammals or animals out there. The only thing we got going for us is these guys right here, these thumbs and and our brains. That's the only thing so our community is what, what primarily we always kind of instinctually go to to find which is, which is fine and but by doing that, you kind of give your power away, to the tribe, to the community, to the organization. And that could be religious, government, economic, spiritual, whatever that thing is. But, but to find what you're saying, to find yourself to look for the answers inside. Take someone who is strong and someone who is willing to do the work to go inward, because there's a lot of baggage, there's shadow work, there's other things like that that you kind of have to go through to start answering these questions, or meditation deep, going in, deep within yourself. So I think a lot of people are, you know, that's in a best case scenario when people are scared, which is what's happening now. Then you then I got to join someone. I got to join something to survive. That's on a subconscious level. Does that any of that make sense to you?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 11:35
Yeah, I agree with you. I mean, meditation and spirituality shouldn't be a disengagement with the world. It's got to be the complete opposite to that. Ultimately, we've got to see the world as the meditation as it all. But I think a way, I think is a good way to try to address these things is, yes, we've got to always be focused on ourselves. We've got to be balanced on ourselves. We can't if we can't stand firm ourselves. We haven't got the courage to stand in our life. We're not much good to the world, but we can find a lot of support, particularly, I feel with the people close to us first of all. And I think the way to reach the world, because we've got it's all got diluted so much you spoke about, you know, associating with the tribe and things we don't. Can't even associate with our nation at the moment, we always feel, even our nation feels wrong to us, you know. But so what I think the way to start is, really, I think it's one of the values we've lost, is the family. Because if we can, if we can, have a love for the family, and it's easy to have love for those close by to us, not always. I know people in the family can be worse than anybody, but generally we love our children. Generally. We love the people around us. So that love that's in the family is a starting point. That's where our happiness in life can be. And I think a lot of people have become so selfish, they forget about that. That's that's an important thing. But if we can get that strong in our life, then we can extend out into the community, then we can send out into the nation, then we can extend out to the world, but it has to have its roots in something that is close to us and has emotional meaning to us as well as spiritual meaning. And I think this is where we've gone wrong with a lot of it, of because it's all about Me first, me first, my job, my income, my work, my, you know, my holiday, everything, everything's got to be about what I'm getting, not what can you give me? What can I put in? Should be our thoughts, you know. And I think this is perhaps one of the fundamentals, where I feel people are so unhappy. Because, you know, people come to me for readings and things, and they when will I meet my soul mate, you know, and things like this, and it's like, Well, look, you've got to be your soul mate first. Otherwise you all you're going to do is throw yourself away on someone else, and then you've lost your footing straight away, and you might meet some control freak that's going to mess your head in so you've got to be strong first in yourself. We've got to be our own person. We've got to be kind of a maverick in many ways, and not a non conformist. Each of us should be like that. Then I think if we're strong within ourselves, you find that all the people that are meant to be with you in life will come to you, and the connections come automatically, because, you know we're talking here about a world that's very material, but my understanding of the world is there's nothing material at all about it. It's all consciousness, and all the events that happen are just like Shakespeare said. It's like a play. It's like a game. It's like something that's just happening. And miraculous things can happen to us sometimes when we get our head in the right place, and if we're going to change our own personal world. I'm a great believer, if we get ourselves in the right values within ourselves. And I'm not talking about this abundance greed sort of thinking. That's a lot of people there. You think greedy all the time, and things will come to now, when we get ourselves into harmony with, like the Ching would have said, with the with the DAO, when we're in harmony with things, and things will come back. Back into our lives quite automatically, and happiness will flow into our lives automatically on a human level, and the same as on the world too. We've got to see it all, not just as things happening on the news. We've got to see it as the flow of existence. This is the mind of God. This is the opening of the consciousness of the universe. And when we think positive thoughts, positive things start to happen in our lives, and positive things happen in the world. So I say, you know, because I make so many predictions, the newspapers often call me the prophet of doom, but I like to hopefully be a prophet of hope, because I think we can overcome all that, and we can create a better world, and it has to come from within. Because if there's going to be a golden age, if there's going to be happy age ahead, that will be when we found absolute peace and certainty within ourselves, when we're at one with the idea that there's absolute peace, there's absolute bliss in the universe, that all is consciousness, that all is fluid, that there's need to be no fear whatsoever in our lives. Because we've understood that the spirit, as it were, is far, far greater than than anything else that could be thrown at, thrown at as the lower vibration is what we call the material world

Alex Ferrari 16:22
That's beautiful. Beautifully said, that's, that's absolutely beautifully said, you and you were, obviously, you're, you do a lot of predictions, and like the prophet of doom, that's interesting, but, but speaking of prophets, the most famous of the prophets, prophets, not in the religious sense, but in a predicting of what was going to come in. It's Nostradamus, one of the most famous ones. And he was mentioning, I mean, I've been hearing about the Middle East being the core of a New World War forever. And then, you know, Iraq and Kuwait and, you know, and it's been, we've been teasing it for years, Afghanistan, obviously, all this stuff. But Iran now is a whole other. This is a whole other. In my lifetime, I've not seen this. This is a completely different energy from the leadership that we have here in the states to what's going on now in Iran, and there is negative, obviously, a lot of negative behind it, but I've heard people from Iran who are very happy about the regime. You know that they're they're trying to knock down the regime, because there's such so so many horrific things that that regime is doing to its own people. So it's really interesting. What is your impression of what I what Iran represents where we're going, and how is this situation going to continue to unfold? Because there's two players right now who are still being very quiet. Russia and China are being very, very quiet, and they are two gorillas in the room that we have to kind of

Craig Hamilton-Parker 18:04
Absolutely keep an eye out for. Yeah, yeah. And this is what I've been talking about a lot in my predictions. And also, interestingly, what's been coming up from these oracles in India. I briefly, shortly explain the Oracles in India are 1000s of years old. They're individual Nadi leaves that are written for individual people, and it tells you about your future, and it tells you things in there, like your name of your mother, the name of your father, who you are, and the time of your birth, and things like that, impossible to know things. And they give people's futures, but occasionally in them, they'll tell you something also about what's happening in the world around you. And we've been looking at multiple readings that have come through people, and asking people to bring them together and say, Is there anything in your readings that suggests anything about the future? And we've also get an opportunity sometimes, to ask some of these oracles, which there's a blank leaf called a jeevanade, which you which the words appear on the leaf. Okay, this is a weird stuff. Look at your other videos on your channel. But when we've been getting more and more, and we've had six or more and some we've had, we put a few people in touch with these ancient oracles who have quite high politicians in the USA. I'm not going to say who's who, but we they wanted to find out you can find your political chapter, as it were, and they wanted to know if they're going to be elected or not, basically, but some pretty scary stuff has been coming up, to be honest, because it says that the war that's happening in the Middle East is the start of something bigger, and It's going to take a good two years before we can get out of this stage of things we've got already happening. They talking about April. Time coming up, our next month is going to be quite hard time. We're going to have another hard time in August, when it bursts into flame again, as it were. But the problem is, is that it talks about also countries that we've identified. The old name of Japan has been in there, for example, and it said there might be some big geological problem around Japan, which we're interpreting as some form of Earth movement that happens around 2028, time of the American elections. Similarly, at the same time Russia and China get involved, and from this they turn against the USA in 2028 November, 2028 so it's out there. This is going to be a very, very difficult period when we maybe it's going to be when we start to get the big crisis over Taiwan, and we start to see things worse. And it is telling us to warn the world. It's telling us to say, and I don't like to be the prophet of doom, but the thing is also saying in there, because what these oracles say to us is that they try to give us a remedy, and they keep saying over and over again that the remedy is for people to basically meditate, to pray, to open their thoughts, to see in a brighter, beautiful world ahead, to keep the focus on the fact that this is a time when it's a turning point. It's a birth, it's not a destruction of the world. It's a time when we can get to a very, very beautiful time in our lifetimes, in which they're talking about the return of higher consciousness, the return of they're talking about the Rishis will return. And that can be many it could be, I see you're into Yogananda, for example, with the awake thing in the background there. It could be the return of people of his caliber and more, not just one, not some big revelation of some great one guru or another. Say, many will return, and it will change human awareness. It will change human consciousness. It will awaken us to the idea that we are more than just a material being so it, but it has to come out of this difficult period, they say. And when this turns it would be for the better. So to keep our eyes on the light at the end of the tunnel and forget about the darkness, because we will have some hard times, I feel ahead. They will be tough going, particularly with the and I've also personally said that at the time of the Taiwan crisis, which will come up next, there will also be an internal revolution within China where they turn against their own leader, and eventually China will break up into multiple countries, not as one country, and even Russia itself will change in much, Much, much further ahead, and we'll even have a female leader Russia in due course. Seems impossible stuff, but you would have thought, you know, I mean, these are sound like impossible things, but we were talking about this some time ago. And look at the impossible, you know, invasion of Greenland. Who would have ever thought that sort of thing could have ever been on the table, the the things that happened in Venezuela, you know, I mean, what was all that about? You never thought anybody could have done those sort of things. The rules have been completely overturned at the moment. And, you know, perhaps it's been necessary on on one level, because there's some very corrupt people in the world on all sides. You know, in our own countries, as well as abroad, and something's got to be shaken up. We can't just leave it to fester and fester and fester. A lot of the problems we have is because we've been too scared to poke the fire. But it's got to be sorted out. Otherwise, you imagine what it would have been like if Iran had a nuclear capacity and was throwing bombs around the Middle East the way it's throwing missiles around at the moment, just to disrupt the world economy. You know, it's horrifying on one level, but necessary. It's like the birth. It's necessary. The pain is necessary to get us to another spot, yeah, and that's where I feel things are kind of going.

Alex Ferrari 24:05
So let me ask you, because I'm of Cuban descent, and now Cuba is going through absolute hell no more power. I mean, the entire country is without electricity. That's how fragile their system was. And now people are starting to revolt. And because once you pull electricity away from them, then really, what's, what's the point? Like, they're just like, Well, I'm just going to start burning things. And that's exactly what's happening in the government is can't keep control of anything, and it's and, and the states are, are talking about going in and, you know, taking over and kind of what they did in Venezuela. What is your Do you have any insight on what's going to happen in Cuba? Out of pure morbid curiosity, on my point, my part, right?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 24:57
Yeah, well, that was one of the things I was saying that at the beginning of the year, I usually make a set of predictions. And one of the things I said is, would be absolute disorder in Cuba over Cuba. I remember the Cuban missile crisis at school, and we were all terrified about that, because we didn't quite know what was going on, and our mums and dads were terrified. Obviously Cuba's, you know, I mean, I lost my internet the other day for three days, and I couldn't cope. Where am I going to what am I going to do without internet? You know, particularly I'm a YouTuber, what am I going to do? That's just the act. But you imagine what it's like when you pull the plug on everything and the lights go out. I feel that Cuba will go through an upheaval. And same way I feel that China is going to go through an upheaval, it's often when you take the when people are uncomfortable, when the food's taken away, usually when food prices go up. That's when the Arab Spring blew up, when there was a shortage of foods. And with shortage of any commodity that is essential for life, is obviously a trigger. But my feeling is that I feel that Cuba will will come out of this, well, a massive place for I mean, I can, I can sense the gambling halls and the holiday companies or invest in it.

Alex Ferrari 26:17
For decades, we've been, they've been waiting like the US. It was supposed to be Vegas before, before Vegas was in Las in Las Vegas in Nevada, it was supposed the mob was going to go to Cuba and build out Vegas until, until that Castro.

Craig Hamilton-Parker 26:35
Yeah, I knew some people that manufactured slot machines. And I remember years back, they thought something might happen with Cuba, and they were, they were really rampant, ramping up manufacturing. To do that, I talked to all sorts of people with live work, either work mafia, I don't think, but, but, you know, but I so it's a massive place for investment. It's a potentially, I mean, to beautiful countries. I've not been there, but what a lovely, spoilt, really? I mean, wonderful. But I think I felt the Cuba have come out all right, in the end, I think there will be, I think we're going to see internal strife within all countries of the world. I mean, Cuba's ripe for a revolution. When we look at the UK, there's ripe for a revolution. In many ways, there's some big divisions here, France, Germany, Sweden, all but there's so much social division, particularly with the huge influx that Europe has had, for example, with people from other countries. We've got sometimes, like London, for example, it's got 60% people from abroad now, and very big, strong conflicts between Islam and and the rest too. I mean, these are things that we, we don't like to talk about, because we like to think of the unity of all religions and things. But there's some, there's some very, very bad thinking going on with with these things at the moment. So I think we're going to see worldwide, a lot of upheavals and revolutions. When the whole world starts to sort of shake, where we start running out of oil, we start running out of food shortages coming soon, I feel, because this Straits of Hormuz is not just about oil. It's about manufactured goods. It's also about getting food from one side of the world to the other. And we've here in the in Europe, we've had massive floods recently, with the extensive rain, constant, constant concept of the crops are in a bad way. Food runs out, things like that. You know, you get a lot of public unrest. And I feel that this will happen around the world. But maybe we need it again. Maybe this is another birth Pang, because everybody is so we just can't trust any we don't trust the big businesses. We don't trust the global companies. We don't trust our politicians, and we're voting for them with our votes and with our money all the time, and they run off into their tax havens, and none of the money comes back here in the UK, our roads are just a mass of potholes. You know what's happened to the basics in our world? So the world is at a state of major, major change, not just on the Middle East crisis that we spoke about, but if you look at it all around the world, every country in the world is going through an absolute earthquake at the moment, and sadly, I also feel that on top of this, we're going to see a number of major global disasters of some sort that may be related. I mean, Casey talked about the shift of the Earth's poles, for example, where we already are seeing in the last 10 years and more of a change in the Earth's magnetic field than ever before in the recorded history of those things, there's been some quite big shifts he might have been picking up that that was what was going to happen at this time. We're definitely at a shifting, changing point, but something good will come. I'm out of it. I am absolutely convinced, and so are many of the astrologers, and so are many of the other psychic people and the spiritual people, and the people I've met in India, for example, I mean, Yogananda obviously comes to mind, but he spoke to Babaji and people like that, and and I've spoken to some of the Siddha yogis in there, people that live in caves and covered in ash and things like this, and translators with me, and they've told us to look forward to a better world. It will be a better world. That is, this is not the end of things. This is just the beginning of things. And I feel like I say this is a good time to be born in, but we've just got to keep our nerve and keep moving there in the end.

Alex Ferrari 30:45
The thing is, the one thing that every empire, every company, every sports team that's had any sort of success, the only common denominator is they all eventually fall. It changes. All of it, Rome, 1000 years hanging around for Egypt. How many 1000s of years was the Egyptian empire running it all goes and when you're in it, though, you could be like, ah, that'll never happen. I'm sure when the UK was it was in when England was the world dominating power to be like, ah, we'll be this. We'll be here forever. I mean, and, and obviously that's not the case anymore. But the US is in a similar state, like, oh, the US is us. Like, you know, there's nowhere. And it's written that we're going to go on as a global superpower forever, you know. And we can just look at France, we could look at England, we could look at Spain, all of them had a turn as a global superpower. And the same thing with companies. We've seen it with companies. I mean, for God's sakes here Sears, 120 years or something like that. Sears was going around, and it's gone. It's gone, you know, because things change. So it's, it's a thing for people to understand that we that there's nothing. The only thing that's really that's deterrent, that is written in the stars is change, always Earth. Change everything. I wanted to ask you, you mentioned about the pole shifts, what would actually happen to the earth if the Poles did? I mean, I'm assuming, like, tomorrow morning, we're going to wake up and now the North Pole is in China. Like, I know that's not going to happen, but I hope it doesn't. But what would actually happen to the planet if all that happens? Obviously, Antarctica would melt and and all that stuff would come up. I mean, what? What would happen?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 32:37
But that's the magnetic pole rather than the the axis pole, okay, so, yeah, okay, that's, that's the that's the thing. And I'm no scientist, so I couldn't really answer that question fully, to be honest, but I'm sure it would be quite a disruption, certainly to our satellite systems and anything that requires a magnetic north. I mean, most of the electronic systems require some adjustments. For example, satellite navigation require, has to adjust itself all the time for the movement of the the pole shifts, you know, and so if it's sudden, shifts and throw everything right out of balance. So that's, yeah, that's so that's just one other potential thing, one other guy wrong something,

Alex Ferrari 33:22
I mean, in the last, in the last, you know, 20 odd years, things that we thought would never, we'd never see, have happened again and again and again and again in every aspect of our lives. So let's turn our attention now to the economy, the world economy, specifically, because I've been saying this for years, I'm I'm no, I'm no economic, economics. I can't say the word, but you know what I mean, economist, I'm no economist, but the we're due. We're so due, we're overdue for a major correction, or a major shift, or something happening in the economic world, it seems like there's cracks are starting to form. You know, we got gold up to like, 5400 5500 US dollars. That's insane. It's come down since then. But there's things that are happening. You can start seeing the tea leaves, if you will, that there's something going on with the economy. What is your take on? I mean, obviously the US economy is one of those driving factors. US economy goes down. The entire world goes down. But in general, I think the economic future, where do you see? Where do you see that?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 34:38
Well, my feeling is, for a long time is that somehow we're going to have to rethink things, because the system we've got at the moment.

Alex Ferrari 34:46
Hey guys, I really hope you're enjoying this conversation, and the one thing I've noticed recently is that most of you are not subscribed to our YouTube channel. It's free, and it really helps us out a lot. So if you haven't subscribed, please subscribe. Like and share this content so we can continue to help elevate the consciousness of the planet. Thank you so much. And let's get back to the conversation.

Craig Hamilton-Parker 35:07
Doesn't really work very well. I mean, when I look at cryptocurrencies, it's almost like a Ponzi scheme. They work. The more people keep pouring money in, the more it keeps generating money to give out. But sooner or later we run out and it's, it's kind of all. It strikes me. It's all like this. It's all seems to me to be, where do we put our our faith in, in our security? And my feeling is that that will pop eventually, because if we have, if I'm right about what I say about China, for example, and supposing the Chinese economic system collapsed, that could equally bring down the dollar and everything else as well. Absolutely, because we're all so interconnected at the moment. And again, when I turn back to what the oracles are telling us, they're saying, invest in land, invest in farming, invest in having some and Yogananda said this too, actually, in some of his talks with people, not in his book so much, but when some of the discussions he had with people he spoke about that, we'll get to a point where people would need to think about returning back to more of a land based economy, where, because I think the problem is, large is dangerous, I think small is better. If we have small everything depends on, you know, I buy my strawberries, and they've been flowing into South America, you know. And that seems madness to me, and yet, I live in a strawberry growing area here in the UK. So we are sort of, I think, wasting ourselves on throwing away into a system that is an illusion, really, because it's I promise to bear pay the bearer, it says on the UK, but they can't. We haven't got the gold. We don't even know if Fort Knox has got any gold in it. It's never been counted for years and years and years so and God knows what. They must have spent it all in the UK a long time ago. We're even worse than you guys, you know, and so we've been living beyond our means for a long time. And I feel that will grant it. Will pop. I think we will get a very serious situation with but again, we were told in when I was talking to some of the Indian series that not to fear for this again, because it won't go sudden. We won't get like a 1930s crash. Is a gradual decline, and there's a gradual decline. I think, you know, I think, for example, AI is overvalued. And just like we had so much money pouring into the.com boom, my feeling is, you know, AI, boom. Everybody thinks AI has solved everything. It can only send me a tool. It can't do it all, and it's the most incredible tool we've had since the industrial revolution. But it's still, it's still fallible. It's not the answer to everything. It's not going to make everybody money, because everybody's got it, you know. So it's so, I think there are going to be a lot of adjustments, and I feel that over the next three years again, because I think the next three years ahead of critical times, particularly up to the time of the 2028 around that time, we're going to see bouncing, you know, bouncing stock markets and everything. So you can't put your money into gold and think it's safe, or into silver and think it's safe, or into anything really, I feel get if you're going to put your money in anywhere, don't think about how much money I can invest and make. I would say, What would last if everything collapsed? You know, I've got a home usually safe, you know, except in war, usually. But property prices are going down at the moment, probably a good time to buy something much more sensible. I feel something that actually has some solid value to it, because ultimately money represents something else. It represents gold, or it represents property, or it represents something that we can own, but we can't own these ephemeral things. And I know that's how the system works. But ultimately, I think, on a personal level, my attitude is, I put my money into things. I don't invest in other things. I keep into things around me that I've got, that I need, you know,

Alex Ferrari 39:11
Yeah, and the thing is that money is an illusion. It has been since the beginning of time. I mean, the only thing that we've kind of all agree upon is that this rock called Gold has value to it in one way, shape or form. And same thing for silver as, like hard, but they're just metal. They're, you know, they're just an element. It's illusion. So we and then now, since we got pulled off the gold standard by Nixon back in the day, then our dollar is not connected to anything before, at least it was connected to this rock that we all kind of agreed had some sort of value to it, and now it's ethereal. Like you said, it's all based on what we all just agree. It's a contract. It's a nonverbal. Contract that this little piece of paper in my pocket, or these ones and zeros that we see on a computer screen are things that we could buy goods and services with.

Craig Hamilton-Parker 40:11
But it is the same with every single thing we have in life, though, isn't it, even the people around us and everything, everything is ephemeral, everything is subject to change, and money always will come and go. And I think it's important in life to let money flow through your life, rather than hold on to it. Because I feel when you do that, if you think of think about the universe in a different way. Think of a bit. It's all consciousness, it's all the mind of God, it's all an illusion. All of it, not just the money, but we need to let things flow through our lives. I think Gandhi, when he died, he only had a few dollars in his bank account because he'd always let it go through and gave it away again. And I think that money should be there and shared really, I think in the hands of the right person, it's a real boon. But if it's if it's in the hands of someone that wants to hold on to it, I've always seen people that are get very, very selfish with money, usually end up with pretty miserable lives, with not much to show for it. I know, cry all the way to the bank, they say, but no, but I think generally, in a person's life, if you just allow money to flow through your life, it usually comes. It usually comes. And if you've got the faith in in just letting it happen, we'll always have enough. We'll always have enough to get by so but the thing that does last is our personal virtue, who we are, what we've developed, this is what we will take into our next life and into the worlds beyond. Because if you believe in the next life, then we're going to take something with us. What can we take? A shroud has no pockets. My hand used to say to me, but we can take who we are, our memories, the good experiences we've had, who and who we've developed to become in this life. That's where our treasure is. And so when people worry all the time about what's going to happen to the economy, what's going to happen to money, I think that's a secondary thing. Think about who you are, what you're doing in life, and what you're becoming. And I don't feel that the universe will ever desert you. If you, if you, if you get on that spiritual wavelength with things, it will. It's the universe is here to support consciousness, ultimately, and all these things that are happening in the world are secondary. What is important is what's happening to you as a person inside. Are you becoming a greater, more conscious being? Are you becoming a better, valuable person? If you develop kindness in this lifetime, have you divide develop compassion and love in this lifetime? Those are your treasures, and those are things you'll take with you. And when we lay on our deathbeds, we don't think to ourselves, I wish I'd made more money, because you can't take it with you, you'll be thinking yourself, I wish I had all the love people I love with me who come with me into the next step. And that's will happen. So yeah, get our values right. I say, I think we delude ourselves, and we got to remind ourselves that, you know, the that is the mayor, that is the illusion, and the truth is so wonderful, really. And that's what the new age will be. That's what the golden age will be, when we realize that the power of what's within us is far more powerful than everything that's outside. That's what the awakening is. And we don't have to wait for some bloke to come along and give us that awakening. We have to do it ourselves and start now, because the awakening is when everybody starts to wake up. It's like many, many candles, many, many stars in the sky until it becomes bright as you could look at, because the glory will come from each individual, not from some Messiah or avatar or whatever. They're all there to teach us to wake up to realize that, you know, sometimes we can see, oh, that person is God or God conscious. But that was saying is, You are God conscious. You've got to become God conscious. And when that happens, well, who cares whether the dollars dropped or not? It don't matter,

Alex Ferrari 43:51
Right, right!

Craig Hamilton-Parker 43:52
Very idealistic, but I think that is the way to look at things, if we, if we can.

Alex Ferrari 43:58
So with Craig, you mentioned a little earlier, and we kind of, you, kind of touched upon it now, with the avatars and God consciousness and these kind of souls that come in the world, there has been recently, a lot of spiritual leaders who are starting to fall and we're starting to see who they truly are. As a human behind the scenes, I've gone on a rant. I've gone on of like this binge of watching documentary series on fallen spiritual leaders and just trying to study what the common, the common things are. And I it's so clear. I mean, you see the it's a pattern, it's a blueprint, how they do it. I mean, every cult, every you know, spiritual organization, a lot of times, or spiritual leaders who it's fascinating to see. But a big one that just obviously came out was Oprah, and what happened in the in the list that was released, and that kind of really took me the. I was shocked by that, and when I mentioned it to people, because he was such a big deal in the West. I mean, he brought a lot of Eastern ideas. So he did a lot of good in the world, did a lot of good in the world, but yet he was a very flawed as a very flawed man, and despicable in many things that he has done and said, and so on. But then you start looking back at all of these different spiritual leaders from, you know, from I just saw a documentary about Kundalini yoga, and that, that leader, that yogi, and osha, and new things are coming out about him and John of God, and so on. And that's on the spiritual standpoint. Let's not even talk about the Catholic Church. And other major religions around the world who have been, you know, things have been bastardized by their leaders and so on. What does this all mean for us right now? Because there was a time and I always use the Catholic Church as a recovering Catholic myself, that I use the Catholic Church as a as an as an example, because as I was growing up, and prior to me even being on this planet, the Catholic Church was infallible. It was a part. It was just this monument to God and and they could do no wrong. But obviously, in the last 50 years, we've realized that there's been a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes, and more and more is unraveling in that organization, but it's going across all spiritual paths. So why is this happening? What is this supposed to do for us, as as souls, as seekers, trying to find their way, hopefully, back to themselves, back to home?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 46:37
I was just as shocked as you, with chakra, because I knew him quite well, and gave him readings and things like that. Sometimes I found him quite a nice man, actually. But you know, when you read about what happened in the and you start thinking, Well, what do we know? And I've, I've met other spiritual leaders, just like you've spoken about, I'd love to see that series you're talking about.

Alex Ferrari 46:59
It's on, it's on HBO. It's called a breath of fire, okay, Kundalini Yoga, it's pretty Yeah, oh,

Craig Hamilton-Parker 47:08
There are some very dark gurus around, and I've met a number of them in my time. And I've met people who really taken advantage of people. And the Kundalini Yoga stuff has often been absolutely I Oh, Divine Light mission. I remember getting interested in at one point somewhere along the line. I thought, wow, God, this looks great. And then you sort of think, actually, I'm not so sure. And with Rajneesh and Osho, like you said, so many and it was predicted. Actually, Nostradamus spoke about it. The Revelation speaks about it. The Puranas talk about it, which is the Indian texts, predictive text, saying that at the time of the coming of the awakening, many negative leaders will force gurus would be out there. And I say to people, you mustn't believe in the teachers. If I say, if you're listening to me, don't take what I say for it, take what you know. You know. You've got to stand on what your knowledge, what is your experience. People always want easy answers. And I think that's where we go wrong, and where these people start to take advantage. They want easy answer. All I've got to do is do this special technique, and I'll be enlightened, you know. Or all I've got to do is follow you, and I've got to worship you and give you all my money, and then I'll be enlightened and everything. You'll look after me, right? Well, I think some very high spiritual gurus can look after you, but they don't want what they really want you to do is for you to develop your own self will. And I was brought up in spiritualism, really. That's where I learned my mediumship. And one of the Seven Principles of spiritualism in the UK is personal responsibility. And I think that is what you've got as put as one of your key spiritual values, to take personal responsibilities. If thing has gone wrong in my life, your first thing I can say, well, it's my karma. I've done it. I've must have done something somewhere along line to bring this on myself. Even if it wasn't, I still accept it as my fate, or I've got to do it. Nobody else can think it for me, nobody and nobody else can become enlightened for me. Can they or they can be awake for me? Nobody. It's this is when we wake up. But it's so easy. Everybody wants to follow and be followers. They're not prepared to stand up and be criticized or and so often worse than ever nowadays. So you run off to follow some politician, or you run off to into some job or identify of being this or that, or you run off into some religious organization and and hide there. You're hiding from yourself. You've got to be your own person in this life. Otherwise, these Mavericks will always pop up. And I think perhaps as the lights coming into the world, maybe there's a there's a flashing out of these things at the moment, but the answer is always the same, take personal responsibility for your spiritual development. If somebody's in your way, if Jesus is in your path, push him out the way. You put us in your past, push him out the way, go to the boss, go to the light, go to what you know is the ultimate awakening. And if we follow other people, you'll always be a follower. I come into this life as a follower. I want to go out as a teacher. And I think each of us should think like that. You know, we've got to become we've got to become it. It's no good thinking, Oh, some somebody else is going to solve all my problems. We have got to become the awakened beings. This is too easy to fall into those traps, as you said.

Alex Ferrari 50:32
Yeah. The thing is that I think the biggest failure or trap that we that people fall into, is that when there's a spiritual teacher who comes in, they point you, a good spiritual teacher points you or guides you in the direction that you should be looking at, should be investigating, should be guiding down the road. That because they might just be down the road a bit farther than you, they might be down the road a lot farther than you, you know, but they're pointing towards the direction you should be going. The problem is, people start worshiping the pointer. You know, it's like, and that's the thing, it's going to a doctor. You don't worship a doctor because he told you, listen, stop smoking. What's wrong with you? You know, stop doing drugs, withdraw. That doesn't happen there and but it happens in the spiritual space so much more. And that's the biggest, I think, trap that we we fall into. And when you give your power away to somebody else,

Craig Hamilton-Parker 51:32
Yeah, like in Zen, they say that you mustn't confuse the moon with the finger that points at the moon. You've got to, you've got to look to the moon, not the not the teacher, as it were, and that is absolutely, I think that is absolutely, absolutely critical. And probably the biggest lesson we can learn of person is personal responsibility. I think it's one of the most important things. I think when you do take personal responsibility as well, you develop a certain fearlessness too, because, and I think you, in order to develop that fearlessness, I think you've got to also accept that you've got to look death in the eye. I feel in many ways in your spiritual thinking. Because if you think I'm only going to be here a short time, I'm going to be dead, and this body is going to be just full ash or rotting or whatever, and that's when you start to think, well, then, if that is the case, what is beyond? And that's when I began my quest to mediumship in my life and proving life after death. But then, if you know that life goes on, you don't become so dependent on this world, and you can actually become fearless and because but a lot of what happens people run are hiding because it's under behind it all. There's a fear of death. There's a fear of that uncertainty of death. But if we face the worst, and we know death, unlike many people who've had near death experiences, but I'm sure been on your show and things like that, they develop a certain fearlessness. And I think even if we haven't had those sort of experiences ourselves, that's what I think we can that non attachment, that transience, is our way to, to overcome all the troubles and turmoils of the world. You know, it's about attachment in many ways. And yeah, don't go hiding in other people, or run into other people, or thinking that saints and and the rest. Can do it. You've got to do it for yourself. You've got to be your own person. Don't trust anyone else. Trust yourself. Trust your own experience, and think for yourself. That's important.

Alex Ferrari 53:29
Beautifully said. Beautifully said. Now you kind of talked a little bit about what's going to happen in China and in Russia. What kind of global power shifts Do you see over the next decade?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 53:43
Well, strangely enough, I think over the I'm I kind of come back to India again, because I feel that India is going to come, it's going to rise and rise and rise and rise over the over the coming century. And for a start, they've got a huge young population that the rest of us haven't got. They've got an intelligent people who value education. There's a hell of a lot wrong with its infrastructure, and it's it's government, society, it's got a democracy, nonetheless. So it's got the potential there, and I feel India will become a country that will come to greater power, and I think it will become a light for the world as well. Because I'm perhaps a bit over, over enthusiastic with India, because I've been there so much, and I've explored so much with the teachings of the Indian mysticism and Veda and the rest of it. But my feeling is that India will come to the rise and will kind of be a light for the world and be the next, the next big player in the world. I don't think it will be China. I think China is going to going to slip. I don't think it will be Europe, and I don't think America will fall away and collapse, but America will soften in. The years ahead and become less of the policeman of the world, just as Britain and England was the policeman of the world in the past, you know. And I think we're, I think our systems will change radically, you know, we live now. We're still living in what was the remnants of what was the Industrial Revolution, where we have Saturdays and Sundays off. That was so the workers had two days. I mean, a completely unrealistic way of living, really, in the way we live nowadays, we still use money as a form of exchange. Could we not find new ways of doing that? We seem to think that work is still a nine to five job, still and met for many people. You know, does that really necessarily need to be that? Do we still need to work for other people, or could we not just all be self employed? Could there not be new ways of doing things? And I think we will develop new ways of thinking in the future too, which will give us a greater sense of freedom, and perhaps that will be one of the great things that you know, for so many people, they're trapped in jobs that they hate, or they even if they're high up in a job, or they are as the chief slave driver, you know, and I think that's a great deal of unhappiness in that, because there's no human freedom in that. So I think the world as a better world, will be one where we have less dependence on the normal, strict routines of life that are determined by work, and we will start seeing work in a different way. And I think we'll start seeing money in a different way. And we, and really, we also have to start looking at, do we really need quite so much as well? Do we really need both partners in a marriage working full on and the children being farmed out somewhere? Do can we get back to those family values again, like I spoke about at the beginning. And do we really need to have quite so much? Can we not share a bit more? Because if the world shared, I'm sure there'd be plenty to go around and more. So we need to rethink, and I think that might sometimes it takes a big shock to do something like that. The Second World War was a big shock that made people rethink. Out of it comes things like the league of nations and the United Nations, and the idea of the importance of NATO and protecting things and the European Union, even whether it's good or bad, all those things were sort of coming out of a shock period, and maybe at this coming period of difficulty, in shock, maybe we'll rethink on a big scale. It needs some big thinking, not just tweaking around the edges.

Alex Ferrari 57:29
I want to get your take on media. Hollywood is is cracking and falling in many ways. It's definitely shifting from where the old system and now the world is starting to come up, there's different being someone who's lived in Hollywood for so long, they had this experience, they had this ego about them is like, well, it's Hollywood. Everything has to be made. Here. We are the gateway to all entertainment, which was the case for decades and decades and decades, but that's not the case anymore, and they have and they're so slow to catch up that the rest of the world is like England has obviously taken a huge jump in Australia, New Zealand, overseas, Abu Dhabi, Dubai. There's so many different places. Where do you see the media landscape changing? Because it is such a huge part of our our experience here on Earth, media in general, social media, you know, news organizations, movies, TV shows, all of that. Just YouTube content creators like you and me, who are basically our own, our own media empires in our own small way. Where do you see this all changing over the next decade or two?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 58:53
I think the biggest shift, I mean, when you think about it, after the Second World War, just looking at history again, Hollywood is what made America great, because when everything else collapsed, everybody looked at Hollywood and saw all the glamor on the screen and wanted to buy American goods, and it was the driving force of a country. And it can be and was the same here in the UK, we had a strong film industry that kept, kept your economies going. So it's a powerful force to lose when you lose something like that. And I think Hollywood is has become, from what I again, I see people from all over the world readings with me, and some of the people I speak to from from from the film industry, they're in absolute despair at the moment. They don't know what's what they are absolutely falling to bits. And of course, what was once an easy place to go and find work, they don't know where to look now. And it's big all sorts of and of course, what's going to change it all is AI. You know, we could, we could develop AI bots of ourselves nowadays that. And you could just type in stuff. So Hollywood as an industry, I think will completely collapse over the coming period. I think it will spread up again. I think people will find new places to do it. It may be in Florida and maybe in Texas and places like that. New centers may be spread out a little bit more around the world, because we don't all have to be in the same place, because we've got new forms of communication. The same things happen in the writing industry, really. I mean, you can get, you can get AI to write you a book in seconds nowadays, and produce these, what they call slot books, but there is that you wouldn't know the difference between that and a book that's been written by a real person. And so we're going to we're going to see a complete shift. I don't think we're going to have a big center of it. In fact, my fit, my feeling, is that the Middle East, again, will be one of those areas that will pick up a lot of the practical parts, because you've got big landscapes. There big areas where there's no restriction about how big a place you can build for sets and things like this. So the Dubai's of this world and the Middle East, I think, will, after this crisis is finished, will become one of those areas which will become a major media area, but Hollywood itself, you know, don't you think, really that in many ways, because of these huge arrogance that has been in that place, isn't it about time it took a fall, you know, sad to lose it. I mean, I and what you see coming out, I'm a great film lover, but when I go out with my wife and I say to ourselves, there's nothing we can go and see. There's nothing that hasn't got some crazy political message behind it or a woke sort of message behind it that basically puts you off. So I think Hollywood's had its day. Frankly, I see it, it's had its day. Or what is the universe?

Alex Ferrari 1:01:51
Or what is God want humanity? What is being asked of humanity to learn right now, through all of this,

Craig Hamilton-Parker 1:01:58
You said, What is God? I mean? I when you say God after or say, Well, you know, it depends what you mean by that. You know, God universe, the will behind the universe, telling us what we've got to be or what we've got to do. Sure, it's a bit like evolution. I mean, it's happening and we don't we. Maybe there is no end to the universe, so we don't know where it's all going to end up. I mean, it's beyond our comprehension to know that there's an end, or if there could even be such a thing as a beginning and an end. But I think from the humanities point of view at the moment, I do feel it's we're trying. I think we we've got to get back to basics again. In many respects, it's a bit like the the arrogant hero that falls foot victim to his own ego and crashes because, you know, we start to think that we're the great person. And nations have been doing this. Industries have been doing this, like we said, with Hollywood and things like that. And really, we got to get back to the simple things again. We've all got lost in social media, and we all kind of watch YouTubes all the time. People crossing the road looking at their phones, completely glued and never in their own little box. And artificial realities will make this even worse when we start wearing the headsets and things like this. Really we want to get back to what makes us really happy, and it's sometimes, it's the simpler things, where we're with people, where we can be, where we're not constantly engaged in constant attention grabbing stuff. What we've lost is the power of our attention, and that's what we've got to regain, and that requires quietude. Sometimes it requires sitting quietly, doing nothing, and just allowing ourselves to watch the thoughts, for example, simple forms of meditation. Because if we don't have that, we're completely the victim of everything that comes into us. Our attention is drawn to the point that we're no longer happy, because we're we're always just being drawn from one thing to another. We're completely lost in the illusion. And we've got to step back from that. And the only way you can step back from that is a complete re think of the way we think, instead of we've got to focus on the inside, because we get chasing everything on the outside all the time and and, but really, if we focus on the instead of going out here, we sometimes got to go in and not all the time, and not to escape from things. But we do need to we. We do need to be back in touch with the undiscovered self of its work, that part of ourselves that is falling into unconsciousness. We need to wake up and and we need to go in sometimes and be comfortable just sitting, just being ourselves and not constantly being entertained or playing with games or or talk chatting on bots and things like that. That's where I think we need to go. And I think that's where we might start to we might start to learn more. What we probably need is the Internet to go down worldwide, put us all out of business.

Yes, right, but, but 2020, had a little bit of that when everything stopped. You know, it was, it was the first kind of inclination of all of that. Has there been anything that you've seen in your, in your visions, or in your ability to see what's going to come that surprised you that you were like, geez, holy crap.

Craig Hamilton-Parker 1:05:24
Yeah. Because quite often the things that you see are the least expected things, really, and those are the things that are usually right. Because obviously, if you're, if you're, if you're trying to see the future, you got to be very careful you don't get your own thoughts muddled up with it. The same with mediumship. You know, you've got to make sure that that is a clear channel, and that is what you're getting, and not letting your own thoughts get in the way. It's the same with any of these things, yeah, and occasionally things do pop into one's head that are unexpected, and I don't know. I think for me, it's mainly personal things, things that happen, and people that come into your life that you kind of sense in advance, to say for the world at large, it's always an unexpected really. It's always the unexpected things the Donald Trump business. I mean, I jumped on and said about that early on, way back before he even came he became president. I said, Donald Trump's going to become the president, and the press jumped onto that. So that was probably the most unexpected thing. And one of the things, actually, I think, with him, is another thing I said before was I said that Trump would become a very religious figure later on, and we're kind of almost seeing that happening with him, in a way. I'm not saying whether it's good or bad his religious figure, but I feel that when he has finished his presidency, he'll start taking almost a religious attitude to the world, and that is a bizarre thing to think about. And it's the weirdest stuff that is often the strangest. And when those things happen, you start thinking, I wish I didn't see these things sometimes. Well, that's another thing that could happen. That was a weird one. I thought,

Alex Ferrari 1:07:06
With that, it's another thing, how do you handle this psychologically? I mean, because you're starting, you're seeing this stuff, and you've seen it come true, and you've been doing this long enough for this to happen, but on a psychological standpoint, when you see like, Oh my God, that's gonna happen. Like, it has to weigh on you. How do you deal with it?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 1:07:25
Well, I think with most psychic work, it's important. It's a time when you're in the zone, as it were, and you're switched on to it, and the rest of the time when you switched it off, and it's just me, nothing, no clairvoyance, no telepathy, no nothing. And sometimes when I see things coming up on the news and things like that, it's as if another person's made that from my point of view, I'm always feel like I'm two people. There's the me that does the clairvoyance and does the readings and things like that. Then there's me, the ordinary me that doesn't get involved in those things and is switched off from that. And it's just living an ordinary life. And I think that's you have to do it that way. But I think also anybody that, and a lot of people that have spiritually minded watch this show, I know, and I think anybody that's on the spiritual path of doing spiritual work really does also need to do the spiritual practice. And in particular, I mean, I've done yoga all my life, since I was 14 years old, and that's not just bendy, stretchy yoga. You got to do the inner yoga. You got to do the pranayama, particularly as a physical exercise, the Kundalini, but not necessarily in the sort of the extreme versions that you were talking about.

Alex Ferrari 1:08:34
Yeah. But with can I just ask you? Because I haven't asked anybody this yet, Kundalini is not a yoga. It's not one of the original yogas. In the Vedic text, the term Kundalini is a thing, obviously, Kundalini energy, Kundalini rising, all of these things. But it was never a yoga as like a kriya yoga or a karma yoga or any of that kind of stuff, right? Am I? Am I wrong in that?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 1:08:59
Well, it would have been part of, I mean, pattajani didn't even mention any, anything of the physical exercises with within his teaching, the Yoga is the union with the with the Godhead is the joining. So all of these things come out of different sources, some of them from different different traditions and so forth. But the spine is the we've got a brain, which is where I think thinking is, but the spine is also part of the extension of the brain, really. Of course, the spine is also all the without using yogic terms, it's kind of the memories of past lives, kind of forgotten memories, where the energy of that memory is still there. So when what's happening with the spinal work is that one is actually using a kind of you can use spinal breathing, for example, to cleanse that. It's like putting the prana, the life force, the life trans through up and down the spine. It cleanses it. And kundalini awakening, I don't always feel it's not like a sudden Powell, like it's someone's Hit, hit the thing, and the in the in the with the hammer to make carnival. Yeah, it's carnival. You know? It's a gradual opening. And the awakening that comes with the opening of the chakras, for example, is a gradual opening. It doesn't need to be some sudden, out of control thing. Those sort of techniques which can be used as well are being down that path are bad. They will not be good for go the wrong direction if the person is not ready, gentleness, let it happen automatically, naturally, and that those things can be very positive that way, and can increase your life force, can increase your energy in life, create a lifespan, and increase your self healing and particularly when the higher chakras, particularly the crown of the head, opens, connects you with the with the spirit world as well. But in each person's life, you've got to let it happen in its own way. There's no good forcing it. But the spiritual work is ultimately not just about these physical things that we we do within ourselves. It's about who we can become. You know, who am I? All we need to do is to simple stuff, sit in the silence. That's enough, and that will give us much more knowledge and understanding than all the techniques in the world.

Alex Ferrari 1:11:18
Beautifully said my friend Craig, where can people find out more about you and the amazing work you're doing in the world?

Alex Ferrari 1:11:54
And and finally, for someone feeling fear about this conversation and aspects of it, or of the future in general. What would you say to help them stay grounded and empowered?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 1:12:06
Well, everything comes and goes in life, isn't it? All the worst things always go in the end, don't they? I mean, when they give readings to people, I will say, My teacher used to say to me, if you see clouds in a person's life, look a bit further, because there's bound to be some sunshine further along the line. And I think that's, that's, I think the way to look at life. Really good things come, bad things come, and don't grab hold of any of it. Just go with it. Let yourself flow through the world, if you can. And of course, we're always going to have things that frighten us sometimes. But I think if we're, if we, if we look at the world like I say, from what the perspective is, I am just the Spirit living in a human body. I am just traveling across a bridge. And as Buddha said, bridges are the bridge is over a sea of sorrows, but just pass over it. Don't build on it. And I think that's the thing in life. Fear will come, worries will come. They'll always be troubles. And you'll think, how on earth I'm ever going to get out of this? But you do, you find a way in the end and just go with it. I think it's important to try this be in your life. Just be fearless. Don't let fear hold you back. It's just a misuse of energy, you know. Ultimately, we'll all, we all end up in a spirit world, you know, and maybe come back here again sometimes too, but it's just an endless flow. And why should we fear when there's such glorious things around us, and what glorious divine knowledge that we can all find in this life? And that's what we've got to see. It's not about collecting things, it's not about worrying about politics, worrying about what's going to happen. There's always going to be troubles in the world, but there's also always going to be this behind it, all this wonderful sense of peace that you can find when you you realize that you are a divine spirit passing through this and nothing, nothing can touch you.

Alex Ferrari 1:13:58
Craig, on that beautiful note. Thank you so much for being here, my friend, thank you for the the both sides of that coin that we've talked about here, the good and the bad, the clouds and the sunlight, my friend, I think, I think at the end, hopefully this conversation is hopeful, and hopefully we will see the sunshine beyond the clouds that we're going through. So I appreciate you, my friend, and everything you're doing to help awaken this planet.

Craig Hamilton-Parker 1:14:23
So yeah, thank you, Alex, too, and thank you for what you're doing as well, because you know, you're reaching out to people, and you know, so there's a another side to things. We're spiritual people and the Next Level Soul. Yeah, that's what we got to find in them.
