Psychic Predicts the Future of USA and Europe with Craig Hamilton-Parker

Craig Hamilton-Parker 0:00
Got to see the system turned upside down. And I think if it happens, then is going to be is. Ultimately it has to be for the good, I think, just be the changes you want to see in the world. And if enough people do that, we can get a tipping point, first and foremost, Seek first the kingdom of heaven and all else will be added on to it as another way of looking at it. Because if we can put at the top of the agenda, our spiritual awakening, but beyond, it compels us to want to help others. And by compelling us we want to help others, then we can also have to have our influence upon society.

Alex Ferrari 0:46
I'd like to welcome to the show Craig Hamilton-Parker. How you doing, Craig?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 0:49
Hi! Hi, Alex. I'm doing fine. Thanks. Yeah, it's nice to see you.

Alex Ferrari 0:53
Thank you so much. I'm so I'm so excited to talk to you, my friend your work is, is pretty remarkable. And you know, the stuff I've seen on YouTube and what you're doing in the world? And you've been at this for a few minutes.

Craig Hamilton-Parker 1:06
Yeah, yeah. Which is goes into centuries, nearly I think that feels like Yeah, but a long time. Yeah!

Alex Ferrari 1:14
You were you were doing you were doing the work that you're doing in a time where it wasn't very cool, or accepted to do the kind of work that you were doing. Is that fair to say?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 1:24
Absolutely. Yeah, to keep quiet about it actually completely. Got because my early work as a medium, which is like a person that communicates with the spirit world, particularly here in the UK was sort of seen upon as being a little bit audible, you know, and I was working at that time and had my own sort of advertising type of organization sort of thing. And I thought, Well, my God, I dare not let customers know what's going on with this, because they know that this sort of thing, you know, that throw me out the boardroom, you know, so I had people live two lives with it, really. And I was also a single parent and and all that sort of thing could be thrown against she was witchcraft and things. Because in those days, you know, if you're a medium, you were, this was necromancy, I mean on the BBC would always treat anything to do with mediumship. As necromancy is still under those rules, actually, even to this day, I believe, which is a hot fire different from the way we tried to help people and get proof of life after death and things. So I used to, you know, Eastern, I lived in the South of England, place to drive all the way to London to do my readings and things all the time I kept well away from home. So, you know, it, I'm glad things have changed. But only a few of us would be the mediums in those days, because other people had similar things, you know, it could affect your career. It could affect your standing in the world, you know, it was a was a negative in many respects.

Alex Ferrari 2:52
Absolutely. Absolutely. So what was your life like before you decided to come out of the psychic closet? Before your ability started to come into into play? When did you first start about when did they first come into play?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 3:06
Well, I kind of had it since I was a child, really, because I used to see things. And I got I was a single parent, like I said, you know, so it was quite a difficult period for me when I was sort of, on my own, working hard trying to run a business and everything like that. And I met a medium called Doris Stokes, who was a very famous medium here in the UK. In return, she became big name in Australia. Not so big in America, really. But um, she, she I went to a private reading with her and she saw this happening with me becoming a medium. So I suppose I was in my early 20s 21 sort of time 22 and for me, it seemed absolutely preposterous because I was getting on in the world doing all these materialistic things, I suppose. But I've always had a real interest in the spiritual life used to find I was very telepathic and things just been a read people's minds. I used to go into meetings and things and I know exactly what they had in mind for the job they were gonna give me or not, you know, and things like that. So it was kind of handy in that respect. Never really never really understood the idea of mediumship and Doris Stokes communicated with the spirit for me and told me incredible things, names and addresses of people. My daughter at that time as a baby had been taken from the nanny and disappeared someone she gave me the address where to go and I could send the police there and everything and it all worked out. mind boggling stuff and that kind of flipped me really I thought I'm gonna I'm getting interested in this i This is just too important thing to get. It was just so interesting. And strangely enough within within within a few weeks of having seen her and add to this kind of life changing experience for me, because you know, we see or hear about it now. It's completely new to people then you didn't know about spiritualism and all these things. things. But within weeks, I went to see another medium who'd been an ex Police Officer Peter close, he actually went over to America and became quite well known in some parts of California, lovely man. But he was a police sergeant. And he said, when these authoritive way, this is the only this is the second reading knew I'd had, and he goes, I want you to sit in my circle and being told by spirit, you got to do this work, you're gonna give up everything you're doing, and you're going to do this work. And he was bang on, right? Because I gave it all up and became a medium. And while it's a long story, because, you know, also, when this happened, I mean, when I was went to see Doris Stokes, she told me about my future wife and who she'd be. And she gave the name. She said, your future wife's name will be Jane Wallace. She said to me, she well, I sat in the circle and develop my mediumship, you know, but years later, nine years later, because she said, you'll meet Jane Wallace, and it will be the ninth of March that you'll meet her. Well, nine years later, on the ninth of March, I'm in the spiritualist church, given a demonstration of mediumship. I come to the lady in the back. I've got someone here. I've got the name Wallace with me, right. I've got the spirit person connecting with me called Ethel Wallace, which was, and that was her grandmother. I said, Ethel Wallace is connecting with you. And then she turned it out, basically. But it was exactly what was predicted. It was the sixth of March, I didn't forgotten it by then. I checked it up on the tapes later. And her name was Jane Willis. But my grandmother, who I was communicating with on the spirit side was Wallace. So it was like, we were matchmade I feel from the spirit world. And when those sort of things happen, and I'm Jane, I thought, well, I'm going to give up advertise and I don't care about the money anymore. I just don't, you know, we got enough to make a start. And I went from, you know, meeting the executives at big banks and airline companies and, and all sorts of stuff I talked throw away. Next thing, I'm doing tarot readings. We got enough money to make a pint of milk. And we scraped by, I mean, it was quite as flipping one's life. You know?

Alex Ferrari 7:17
It was, it's a calling it is a calling to do

Craig Hamilton-Parker 7:20
It is!

Alex Ferrari 7:21
It's a calling and that's, I always love people, you know, because people always ask me because I speak to, you know, psychic mediums and channels and, and people that do this kind of work. And people always ask me Tico Do you think this is all real? Or? I mean, I've always been scammed. But I think they are a scam, or this or that. And I go, Listen, there's easier hustles out there, man. I mean, like I've said before, like if you're a psychic medium, and you're working at a carnival, and nobody knows who you are, and you're kind of like a gypsy esque person who just goes from town to town, there's potential there to be taken advantage of. But someone like yourself, who's writing books, put yourself out there, you're publicly, like, for years doing it at a time that it was even much, much harder than it was now. There's got to be something going on there. That makes sense.

Craig Hamilton-Parker 8:13
Yeah, I think I think you're right. It's an absolute, it's a Holy Holy Office, actually. Because I think when when you get, you know, for me, I just felt I got to do this. It's just too important. I mean, to be able to help, when you start seeing how it can flip people's lives around completely, how it can save someone's life. Sometimes if they're on the verge of suicide, or if somebody's lost a child or, or been through something that is just inexplicably bad, we'd know most people couldn't understand in few seconds, sometimes you can do, you can do years of positive work that might take them the years psychiatric study. And not only that, it's also the, you start to want to learn more about it, you want to understand what is my purpose here? What is the meaning of my life? Why have I been put on this planet? And is this the end of it? Because I think when you get that kind of bigger perspective, and you see, the big picture is that when you look at the world as being, you know, it's not just when we die, you know, because a lot of people think, Oh, I'll be dead when that happens, you know, blow everybody out. So I'm dead, I'm dead, they can put up with the consequence of the bad things I've done in life, you start to get a much more naturally moralistic view of life, you want to sort of think, well, I want to do something that's going to leave happiness behind me. And I want to do something that's going to help me to progress in life as well as help others you know, because it's all part of the spiritual journey. It's the next level soul, I mean, we have to go on to we have to find the meaning and purpose of our existence. And few people think about that, but I think when you do when you do have the when you do have the absolute certain absolute knowledge that life continues, the personality continues after death. It changes something can you fundamentally absolutely am I ask anybody that's had a near death experience, you know, ask anybody that's really had seen a known spirit with absolute proof. And you think, Well, you know, it's not a question of what I believe now. It's what I know. You know, and I think that's, that's for many of us that take this path.

Alex Ferrari 10:16
Yeah, you know what, I'll tell you something that I want to completely agree with you. And you know, when I was before I got into the work that I'm doing, and before I had experiences that I've had in my spiritual experiences, that have drawn me into the path that I'm on right now, because just like you, this was not an easy choice to kind of leave my entire filmmaking career behind leave to other very popular podcasts that were putting food on the table, to jump into a spiritual podcast, where I interview, psychic mediums, channels, quantum physicists and things like that. It didn't wasn't an easy path. It wasn't an easy path for me. And I actually pulled back a lot of times, because it was scary. It was scary. I thought, same as you. I thought people were like, Oh, this guy's lost his mind. He's got crazy, all this kind of stuff. But once you understand that, it's not a, I believe that there's another that life goes on. I personally, completely dealt with that. I've had experiences in my own life that didn't die in combat. But I've had experiences in my own life, where it's proven been proven to me multiple times again and again, that there is something else. What that is exactly, I have a general idea from talking to people like yourself in near death experiences and all that. The exact thing, I don't know how it works, exactly. I have broad strokes. But there is something. And there's a level of comfort in that. That is under It's unexplainable. And I think that's what you were talking about. It's just unexplainable. It changes your perspective on life. It changes how you look at things, if you're not walking around with fear of like, Oh, if I die tomorrow, well, if I die tomorrow, obviously, that was the time I had to go. You know, it's I kind of like, let that go. Right? And I'm like, No, I have a lot of work to do. I think I'll be okay.

Craig Hamilton-Parker 11:59
Yeah, I think it brings you a greater deal of acceptance of life, doesn't it? And absolutely, you know, because half the problem that people have is resistance. Your people are resisting what happens to them, everything isn't as it should be. For me, everything is really, you know, everything's bad around me. Everybody's against me, they think all sorts of stuff. But really, the more I, the mobile, I travel, the spiritual path, I realize all this business about life after death. This is wonderful this is but it's not the whole answer, either. Because it's not about tea and biscuits in heaven and heaven, you know, grand heaven, and all this. It's, it's about, also what we do in this life, and how this life is also something that is, in a way, a way of burning our karma as well, which is vital. But it's also part of our spiritual progress, which has to come through, partly through service, because I think that's important about me, but every action we do in the world is as a reaction. So we have to do good deeds in the way I think we have to do. Christianity kind of teaches that, that you compassionate acts that you do, but also compassionate thoughts make a huge difference. And, and also, understanding that everything that exists in this world, is exactly the same as the afterlife, it's all an illusion. It's all what not even that it's all Brahma is all God is all consciousness. And then you then you suddenly think, actually, it's all me. And that becomes quite an interesting thing. Because actually what I'm taking with me, you know, I'm not moving through the world, the world is moving through me. And when we start to flow with it, and understand that, you know, it don't really matter, you know, nothing can actually harm me, it's all just flowing through me like a, like a river. And if we can learn to be not so attached to wanting success, or wanting money, or wanting love or wanting whatever we want, and we just let it all unfold, we realize that that actually is the greatest happiness that can ever possibly be. And to find that is, it's easy, because it's just a matter of letting go of all those things that we think it should be, that we accept the world as it is, and how many people can accept it as it is just accept all the pain that's been in one's life, as it is, let it be all the things that may come in the future, just accept it as the unfolding of karma, let it be as it is. And that that level of acceptance, I think, is I think it's the secret sauce, you know, I think it's the way through to, to, to handle suffering. And to see that suffering is just part of the unfolding. And not to run from suffering, not to try to escape this world or not to but just acceptance. And that's completely opposite to everything I learned in advertising and school and everything like that, where you do the complete opposite, you know, the men they have to sit back and be lazy all the time. And just tell us all gonna happen. We still have to have action we still have their free will. But You know, when if we take the right attitude to it, we, we both go, we float down the river, and we also steer the ship. And I think that's the spiritual path that we have to learn.

Alex Ferrari 15:10
And most of us are walking

Craig Hamilton-Parker 15:11
Going on too much sorry. I shoot all these raps.

Alex Ferrari 15:17
I love and love is great. And the thing is that most of us are walking up stream against the current in life. And that's why it's so difficult. I learned that when I learned that in my 20s, I was like, if you keep walking up the stream, you're gonna get tired, you're gonna get weaker, and you're going to eventually fall and the stream is going to take you where it's going to take you anyway.

Craig Hamilton-Parker 15:40
Anyway. Yeah.

Alex Ferrari 15:42
So why don't just skip all of that. Sit down, relax, and then just go where the stream goes, but you're driving it. It is a it is a force pushing you down a certain way. It's like I always tell people, I'm like, you know, you and I are not going to play NBA basketball. We weren't built for that. You know, we're not, you know, 710 with athletic abilities. Maybe you did another life, I'm assuming for you, sir. i Please, I apologize for being a sumptuous.

Craig Hamilton-Parker 16:12
Basketball is

Alex Ferrari 16:14
Exactly. You and I, you and I have a choice that we wanted to go down that road, you know what, you're not free choice to start. Okay, you know what, I think I'm gonna work out. I want to start going doing that. But it's not the path we're going. So that's going against that river going against that current. But when you like, no, let's just sit down and see where what unfolds in front of us. What opportunities are full of what people you meet, and not be afraid of it all. That's when things start to really, really open up like I truly when this show started. No, I had no attachment to outcome. I was like, I'm just going to do the work. And I'm just going to effort like you were saying you got to do the

Craig Hamilton-Parker 16:53
Effortless effortless effort effort with effortless combined and also important to be wide awake too because this is the other thing because most people live in a complete sleep. And they deliberately tried to push themselves into a sort of a scandalous sort of state they're sleepwalking through life. But the more you the more you consciously try to wake up. And the more you consciously do sedan or or you might do yoga, or meditation, or I work a lot with lots of stuff, loads of stuff in India, that's been massive for me in my life even bigger, it's both in the spirit of this type of stuff. But when you consciously do your dharma, all the problems are the words kind of start to drop away, because I get the feeling that suffering comes into your life to sort of say, Come on, wake up, you know, if you don't do something about this, we'll throw something nasty out, you know, so if you it's all about waking up and what it is that waking up, it's actually becoming it's allowing love to flourish in yourself is actually the flower because that's all it is. At the end of the day. Everything I say it's all Brahma, it's all love. It's all truth and love. It's a bliss. It's all it is. And but the problem is fall asleep all the time. We think it's something else. We think it's some, but we think it's this I'm going to be happy when I meet Mr. Right? or Mrs. Right? I'm going to be happy when I got the money. I'm going to be happy over there not over here. You know? So it's it's been here now, isn't it? Again, it's the idea of being one with it and, and loving it and enjoying it. And then if we just follow that path, it will work. So is it that's all it is? That's that's the absolute answer. There's no goal. It's it's here already. We are awakened beings.

Alex Ferrari 18:31
Yes. Without question, do you there is an interesting phenomenon that happens when you are starting to see it in yourself. When you get to a certain level in your life. You Can I at least I can start seeing it in other people's journeys, where they come to me, they're they're in my path or friends. And they're going through the exact same thing I went through and I can see it so clearly. I'm like, oh, that oh, I'm really tired of my job. Well, why don't you start your new business? Oh, well, this or that. I'm having excuses. I'm like, I'm telling you and I and I warned them a year earlier. You really love doing this, and you're afraid of doing it. And if you don't do this, the universe is gonna keep making things tougher and tougher and tougher and tougher to you're forced to do this because this is the path you're supposed to be walking. And I can literally see a friend of mine is going through it right now. And I've been pushing her and pushing her and pushing her to do like, I need to start my business and like, every day, every time I see her how's it going? How's it going? And then I literally start seeing what's happening at her job her job started to twist and starting to tweak the pressure and Torker to put in like she's starting to get more and more uncomfortable. And it's fascinating to watch and now she's actually moving a little bit more but the universe literally is tweaking that new supervisor shows up that doesn't work with you or this new job situation or it just keeps pushing you in the direction that you have to go and I think that works in all aspects of our lives but it's fascinating to be able to recognize it finally because I was yeah person for such A lot of times.

Craig Hamilton-Parker 20:00
Yeah, but the thing is, what happens is you see those like loops and we get stuck in these karmic loops. Yes. So yes, often people go through the same issues again and again and again. So it's it's like a spiral, we're back, but slightly higher up. But we're in the same position that we were at before it sort of thing, you know. And one of the problems people have and all of this happen, one of the things we have to address is how to break those loops. Because some of those loops are also caused by karma. And this is where you say, I know you had on the show, one of my friends, Dr. Q, who was also into flight, I am in the 90s, right. And I started to get go to India, I sat with some of the sitar Yogi's was some of the sort of there was one yo he could sleep in the fire, for example, that I, I went there with and had an incredible clairvoyance and things. And I think start thinking about she's India's Got all this as well, but it's in a different form. I mean, in India, they say, they've fascinated with me, because I can talk to the dead. But I'm fascinated with them, because Siddhi Powers as it were. And I investigated and looked into the nardis, which is the the this is going right back before the days of the internet, I started to look into this. And they, as you would have seen on your other show, I'm sure you put a link to it. But there was all the incredibly told you the history of your life, it tells you what will happen to you, it gives you a mother's name, your father's name, and I started being very, very deeply involved in that too. And so I kind of combined in my life, the idea of using mediumship and communication for the spirit world, but also a kind of in a way in communication with those in the past, because I've got so linked into this and spent so many years tied into this idea that these guys that conquered time that we're able to know exactly what's going to happen to each person that ever thinks about them almost. These are superhuman levels of clairvoyance as well. So what we actually most people are doing with the their clairvoyance. Mediumship is on a quite a low level, really, what we really got to do is go to these levels that they had in the earlier years, as they call it the earlier ages. And they left the trails for us, they left the seeds so that we as we come out of this age of darkness, we can each of us, all of us as individuals connect to these incredible little clues that they've left for us to help us to awaken and become I think all of us ultimately, will have these powers all of us will awaken to this idea of being capable of all sorts of things, I think, as we evolved will be capable of things like materialization will be capable of easy telepathy will be capable of being able to be aware of this world and the next and the other planes of existence. And the other levels where other beings live on other planets. It all works through this connection with this energy, this universal mind that we're all living in all the time, but we've forgotten. We've just fallen asleep.

Alex Ferrari 23:04
You know, you mentioned you mentioned, you know, galactic scene galactic scenario in regards to, you know, creatures on other planets or beings on other planets. And I found that that as I went deeper down the the Eastern philosophies, the Eastern teachings, like Yogananda, Baba Ji, that whole that whole lineage and you start going down those worlds that's kind of known and has been known for 1000s of years. I mean, the Bhagavad Gita, if that's not, you know, our other worldly blue, you know, Avatar people that decided to show up Yeah, it's really it's really interesting. It's part of their culture, the, you know, the beings from another planet or beings from another part of the universe. It's kind of just been a thing, where we in the West, I think, honestly, starting to open up the idea a lot more with the UAS now. And the government kind of coming out here in the States, Hey, man, there's something going on. We know there's something going on these people, we don't know what these things are, kind of thing. But I'd love to hear your your point of view on that from a spiritual place, you know, and how would you think that's going to impact humanity's consciousness as we get closer and closer to that awareness?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 24:21
Yeah, because I really do believe that we're going through tough times. I mean, anything anybody would look at the politics and the wars in the world. We're coming out of the darker age. But as we come out of the darker age, we enter into a new form of consciousness. And this is where there's hope. As we come out of that darker age of and into an age of greater understanding and awakening. We start to realize I think, first of all, that our thoughts are not limited to our own heads as it were. This is something I think that you learn first and foremost as a medium and when you feed telepathy thoughts have wings, they go out and they can connect with people, but also also thoughts can influence the whole world around us. It can influence events that happen to us, it can influence the karma that's in our life. And good thoughts can open up wonderful things in our life. But also those thoughts can also connect with other people's thoughts. We're in an internet. It's a spiritual internet, we're in a mycelium, it all connects throughout the whole universe. And beings in different worlds can connect with this one, I know we can connect at the moment to the spirit world, I don't believe a lot of what comes through for people who say they're already in contact with people from other planets, a lot of that I think is a bit suspect, I've got to say a fill some of it I worry about. But I think in theory we can, is certainly written in our surface, I'm very interested in the nadi leaves. And some of these people have their reading sometimes. And we quite often find in the leaves, references to other planets. So these were leaves that were written 1000s of years ago, these were these were Oracle's written 1000s of years ago. And it's all there. It's all mentioned, talk, they talk about the world of the snake people, they talk about the Naga, this is something I just recently did a video on, actually. But so it's on the mind. But we talk about the there was a war between the Earth and the Nagas. They kind of were our helpers. Originally, they were they used they gave us knowledge. But then we meet, we abused that knowledge, and we destroyed them with the knowledge they gave us. So we were we were the we were the ones that goes to the problem. There's lots of stories about this and you find it also use find little references to it. In the Bible, in Sumerian texts in alchemy, and in all types of things. There's references to it, so it's definitely there. But the danger is these things, you can also get so carried away with fantasy. And that's where the danger starts to come. I met some real wacky people doing it, you know, I, when they I remember, I was really put off as girl that was in contact with aliens, and she gets speaking in a high squeaky voice like these. Oh, my God, I have to go. So we got to keep ourselves common sense with that as well. And try to remain grounded with these things as well. Because it's such a messed up field where people have got running off in different directions with things. You know, I think one day we will know but I always say to people, don't ever trust somebody else's experience. Only trust your own experience, even if it's a holy man or a Jesus or anybody, only trust your experience, always go direct to the boss is you got to go to God not or whatever that might be actually, that's a difficult word, but you've got it, you've got to realize it for yourself. Not listen to don't mimic other people. And don't base your opinions on other people. You've got to do your own thing. You've got to be your own person. And you know, that's the way we can get direct communication. I feel but direct.

Alex Ferrari 27:54
But Craig, that's scary. That takes a tremendous amount of personal responsibility to, you know, to do that, where it's a lot easier to give our power away to somebody else. And for whatever reason, there's always somebody else willing to take that power away from you. They're like, Oh, I'm gonna give it to me. I'll take it. I'll take it. Yeah.

Craig Hamilton-Parker 28:14
Absolutely. I mean, why is crazy, really, when people are frightened, everybody wants to sort of control their environment in their world around us. And there's all sorts of because they're terrified out there. Because it's coming from fear. And that's why, as part of the spiritual path, you must have fearlessness. I feel, you know, that and where does that fearlessness come from? It has to come from acceptance, ultimately, you know, you've got to already be dead. As it were, you know, you've got to be like the Spartan that's that, that felt that they had already that their predictions have been that they will die in such a point. So therefore I can be whatever I want until that point. So the fearless because I had no fear of death, is because we have fear of death, that we're frightened to live. And, and this is one of I think, the great illness of the of the times that we live in, because everything is trying to keep you away from death. But actually death is your greatest friend, because if you can understand it, everything in this material world is temporary. We then have to see what is real. What are we? And can anything stuck out my consciousness can anything ultimately stuck out my, my, my sense of personality, from everything that I've seen, nothing does it continues after death. So we can live without fear. So if we can live without fear, then why do we have to go down all these crazy paths of denial, we'll have to believe in things. We just have to be it and understand it and let it unfold in ourselves. And you know, just be just enjoy this world.

Alex Ferrari 29:42
Absolutely. Now, we were talking a little bit about fear. And that is I think one of the biggest, you know, afflictions of humanity is fear. Fear of the unknown, and I think we're pre programmed on a physical physical level, to be aware of the Tiger around the corner. are, you know, you're always afraid of the unknown and you're always afraid of when you have a little bit more connection to spirit. And like we've been talking about, I have a, not a belief, but a knowing of what is going on on the other side and what our purpose is here and why we're supposed to walk, the path that will walk in, fear seems to dissipate. I'm not nearly as afraid, as I used to be. When I was a younger man. I was terrified about everything. When I was really young, I was absolutely terrified about everything. But now I'm much more mellow about what comes at me, and not as fearful. But there are a lot of people out there who are afraid about a lot of things going on in the world right now. And I wanted to ask your perspective on a few of these things, specifically that right now, I found out that 50% 50% of the world's countries are going to have an election this year, are having election are having lunch, which is a great shift in not only leadership but energy around the world. And that could definitely have repercussions, especially in some of the larger, more powerful countries. I'm here in the States. There's one coming up here. I don't know if you've heard or not. It's one coming up. I can hear about it. Yeah, heard about it. Right. Yeah. But in Europe as well, there's a lot of key elections going oh, yeah,

Craig Hamilton-Parker 31:22
We got an election here in the UK right now. Yeah,

Alex Ferrari 31:25
Yeah, exactly. So there's a lot of big things happening. What do you foresee in these in these elections of 2024? And how is it going to affect where society is going to be going? At least for the next couple years? Because, listen, the last election we had in the US was, there was a couple things that happened over here on January 6. And there was there was definitely some rumbling. And people aren't people are afraid on either side. No one's going to be happy on either side here in the States, and I'm assuming in your, in your elections as well. If one gets one gets elected, the other side is going to be all it's it's constant throughout the world. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it, my friend.

Craig Hamilton-Parker 32:06
Okay, well, I've made a lot of predictions with my work. This is probably where I've got no, and mostly, although I don't always see it as the main thrust of what I do. But it's very popular, of course. And I feel, but there's the problems we're having in the world as divisions. I mean, we've come in a very big steps out of a time when nobody communicated with each other into a time when communication is everything. And a time when, you know, artificial intelligence is coming onto the scene to which is going to completely distort everything we know about ourselves in the world. And this is all but the changing of the years as it were, but the divisions are coming. And the problem is we're gonna we got we got far left far right over here in the UK and the same Democrat and Republican extremism really, basically. And the way I see it happening, part of it has come because of complacency. There's been so much corruption in the governments around the world, so much hidden influence from places like China, in particular, I feel things like COVID, for example, there's a hidden agenda behind all those things through I think most people think that and feel that. And we're not everything has been corrupted everything big companies have behind things all the time. So what will people are hoping for and looking for is a voice they want a voice so somebody like Trump, I feel is going to become the next president of America. I see it I saw it before I predicted Trump would become president even before he was up for election.

Craig Hamilton-Parker 34:15
I made a prediction about that that was picked up a lot by the press around the world. And it was on the unexplained on that program, the unexplained. And he came into power. And I feel that I feel that he was deliberately pulled out of power. And I think he'll come back again. Even though you know he's not perhaps always seem to be the most highest mark moral person but at the same time, you know, we've got those conflicts are here in the UK, we've got exactly the same problems. We got politicians that are managers rather than leaders. And that means that leaders can come to the fore. This is the danger in the world because there's been so much complacency, so much division So much lack of cultural identity. You know, I mean, people are losing, like, I've got a spiritual center, for example that we're trying to open in Italy. And in Italy, there's been huge shifts to the right wing over there, you know. And it's a reaction against a lot of immigration coming into countries, huge amounts that so that people can't integrate. So you get multiple societies within the societies, you start to get kind of like ghettos again. So I think the big question that we're all going to have for the future is how can we find unity within diversity. Because whatever the case, we have peat, new peoples in our countries, we have divisions of thought, between countries, there's going to be these divisions. And it's really important that we find some way of finding unity and diversity. And that's where we got to start looking for our commonalities. That's why we've got to start to looking for what is it that makes us all human, that we're going to start thinking with spirits in body and that's it, we're all spirit, we're all the same. So the answer has to come from a spiritual standpoint, the only way we can bridge these things is through spirituality. And that's why I feel that something's going to happen, there's going to be something huge in the world that's going to happen on a spiritual level. I feel that this is I don't think of it as like a second coming type of thing. But I see it as like multiple people incarnating on the word simultaneously, who are the awakened beings, again, awakened beings are going to start to reincarnate. And that will change everything will happen in my lifetime, I believe. So it's on its way, it might even be here already. But I have a very, very strong feeling about this. And this will bridge the this will bridge the the terrible crisis, we are in that moment of crisis of not knowing who we are a crisis of weakness that comes through endless looking at screens. And internet's a weakness of a loss of our sense of personal identity or loss of sense of national identities. And undermining by so many negative forces. I see China as a negative undermining force. I think there's many undermining force in corporate business. And we got to pull ourselves out of it. But all the great flowerings in history, when there's been a spiritual awakening, I've often been at times like this have often been at times when there's been a sense of something's not quite right. And Buddhism came when Hinduism was in a terrible state, and there was conflict within India, Jesus came at the same time, there was all the conflicts in the beginning of the fall of the Roman Empire, if you look at any great flowering of awakening, and it always comes at a time of great difficulty. So this, I think, is the darkness before the dawn of this time is going to come something very, very special, and it's going to be a superb time to live in.

Alex Ferrari 37:57
Do you see, I mean, I look at the the, the what's going on in our elections here, and I'm down the middle, I don't have I don't have a fight on either either side. But what I do see is a representation of the old systems that are not serving the people anymore, on both sides. And literally, the candidates are the two oldest candidates of all time, they were the two oldest candidates, five years, as well. So it seems almost insane, that I'm like, You need to tell me there's nobody else on either side, that can you know, some sort of fresh blood, some sort of fresh anything. So it seems like these old systems and I use them as an example, but you could see it throughout every other part of the world. As far as companies are concerned, religion is concerned, of healthcare is concerned, economy is concerned. They're holding on to these old systems, that you're seeing the cracks. I mean, we all see what's happening. We all see the cracks happening. Do you what's your what's your take? What's your thoughts on these old systems that are trying to hold on to power? While we obviously know there's they're not working for us anymore?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 39:05
Yeah, we're shifting into a new age. And that means we've got to break from the old weak, the, the snake has got to shed its skin. I mean, you have Trump there in America. I think he's he has shaken up the complacency. You know, he's talking earlier on. We fall into complacency and that's when danger happens. So you need it shaken that we have Nigel Farage, who was also spoke at the Trump meetings very much over here. Talking possibility this guy might even one day become prime minister. He's the West and trap. UK, Trump. So there's a lot of forces happening in the world because it's got to be shaken up. And I like I say, I predicted that I fairly will become president. And even though many people will really hate him and last bit a lot of people that follow your channel won't like me saying this, but I think he will be somebody that will actually be better for America in the end of the day, because you got to shake the system. He does what He said He is He does what it says on the tin. He goes, if he says I'm going to drain the swamp, that's what he's going to do. But to use the legal system to stop him, because it's self evident from everybody seeing it from overseas, we see and he said, this is this is all stitch ups. This is stitch up. And the more you tried to stitch someone up, the more you'll get people on your side, actually it backfires. So I think we got to see, got to see the system turned upside down. And I think if it happens, then it's going to be it's ultimately it has to be for the good, I think, because it depends on a lot of swings. If it goes that way, it'll swing back the other way again. But the problem is we have too much levels of division at the moment, and the bubbles got to burst. And it'll be uncomfortable, it'd be unpleasant, it will cause lots of people distress. But I think ultimately, it's something that's has to happen around the world. And the fear is, of course, we've seen it happen before in history, and it can go to terrible extremes. So let's hope that we can somehow find a middle way. And that's why I think our necks are all saved by spiritual awakening. I mean, what can we do about it? We all feel Bill feel helpless. When it comes to voting, we will feel as if our vote never counts. We don't know if it's even been counted sometimes. So what can we do? Well, Ghandi asked us to say be the changes you want to see in the world. And that's always I think, is a good way of looking at it. Forget about politics, forget about left and right. And Democrats and the rest of it, forget about what's what just be the changes you want to see in the world and have enough people do that. We can get a tipping point, you know, you've got people like in the background or see in your background that you've got Yogananda and Baba Ji and people like that in the back. I mean, they they knew what was going on there. They transcended the normal world. And they would say the same thing to us, wouldn't they be be what you are, be who you are, focus on that. And the more of us that do that I think we will ultimately shift the nature of me because at the end of the day, all these material things, they don't matter at all. They're all there. They don't secondary news has become entertainment news has been something that's forcing us 24 hours a day, we don't need, we forget that we're here for a different purpose of that. We're here because we're here to awaken. We're here to become spiritual beings, we're here to understand the nature of our existence, to clear our karma, and awaken to the wonderful truth and love of what we truly are. And if we focus on that, I don't think the world can touch us.

Alex Ferrari 42:33
And I agree with you, and the more that we're able to do that. We inspire others around us to do it, and so on, and so on, and so on almost kind of infecting them with love and awakening, to be able to do that. Because once you when you meet someone like that, and you're not at that, let's say place in your life, you get inspired. And if you're able to go down the road of finding it within yourself, then the people around you, it's like, Oh, what happened to Jane? Jane looks? What's the one she seems happy? Well, what is she doing? Oh, and then boom, boo, boo, that's the only way change will happen. When a change within yourself is the key.

Craig Hamilton-Parker 43:09
It rubs off. And it rubs off. I mean, and, and so that's the best the most we can do. Really, obviously we tried. They say, you know, evil triumphs when good men do nothing. That's awesome. So we must do our work in the world. We must have our hands in society, but I headed in the forest as it were, you know, so if we can, if we can live that way, then we're living. But ultimately, the head in the forest is the most important part. Because that's where our consciousness scale, how can the hands work with the head. So first and foremost, Seek first the kingdom of heaven, and all else will be added on to it that as another way of looking at it. Because if we can put at the top of the agenda, our spiritual awakening, but beyond, it compels us to want to help others. And by compelling us to want to help others, then we can also have to have our influence upon society. And we've got to get it just as simple, really, but we've got to get it round the right way like that. The problem is we're all focused on what's in it for me, what's in it for me, you know, how many of us think what's best for all of us? You know, like money, I will seek monies for sharing people that are mad, because they think, Oh, you want everyone to take your money, Greg, but it's there for sharing. I want to share it with other people. It's energy, if more of us have that attitude. Yeah. Yeah. And then it carries karma, too. So the more you give them all you get, and it always works.

Alex Ferrari 44:33
I cannot agree with you more. Now, one thing I have heard about this next, within the rest of this year, and going into the next couple of years is that there's going to be an event something either be the natural event at economic event, possibly, you know, some sort of, you know, battle or a war or something like that. There's going to be something that's going to cross the line or that's going to galvanize us to go, Ah, we're not going to go down this road again. And that's going to be something that's going to be the thing that pushes us into this new area that this new era that we're walking into. But there has to be something, you know, I joke around, it's like, yeah, it's Independence Day, it's when the aliens Park, right in front of the White House lawn. And everyone goes, Wait a minute, if we all join, like we're all humans, but there we have to we have an a common foe, it's going to be something similar, but it's going to be a point where we all choose like, we've been down this road again, we're not doing it. Is that Is that something you see?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 45:33
Well, I in my nadis again, because the nadis Like I say that the leaves that predict your future, and

Alex Ferrari 45:40
And let me stop you there for a second. The nadis for people who don't understand are the Indian palm readings like and if you just do a search for Dr. Q. We did a whole episode on this, these amazing ancient Oracle, palm radio, palm readings on it. I just wanted to clarify that.

Craig Hamilton-Parker 45:59
Yeah. So me and Dr. Q have, you could go to my site to they go via to Dr. Q at same time or whatever. Oh, boy bring. But yeah, it said in mind when I first looked at these years ago, like I say, and it said, it told me so many things. But it said that you would warn the world about a gas cloud. Now I feel that something and I've been, I've just been recently doing some work in Japan. And I, I sense that something is going to happen, I think it's going to be with Japan, I think there's going to be a big Earth movement of some sort that is going to be world changing, it will also affect the whole Pacific plate. Now, I'm not quite sure when it's coming. But it said in my 90s, that would come in my running age of 71. So I'm 70 now, so I'm in the running age of 71. Because they have it running. So I feel something's happening like that, I feel that there's going to be some earth shift, it's completely unexpected, it will be completely out of embedded, it will give make us really, really think it will mean, we'll have to stop what we're doing, stop what we're doing. And it could affect the world economies, it could affect everything. And that will be it will be a good thing. Because I remember also, when I was first starting out on this path, my teacher used to go into trance, and I used to speak to his guide through that. And he said to me, I asked asked about the prophecies of Nostradamus and things and and this sort of thing. And so would there be a third world war? No, that wouldn't. But he said at that time, and this is 1980. He was saying this, he was saying, but there will be a war between Iran and Iraq, that will be a major war. And it'll be the small countries like North Korea, that will be the problem at a time that was completely impossible for that to be taken seriously, those things happened. But the message behind it was, no matter how bad it gets, we'll get through it. So I think there will be some bad stuff ahead. And it will be something like an earth shift of something. Some of the 90s also predicts a meteorite. But that goes between the between the Moon and the Earth. But I think some of that could be questionable, but I'm not sure it wasn't in mind. But then we'll have some dramatic thing, I think, perhaps some dramatic Earth event like that, that will make us all sit up and take notice and start to think you know, and the answer in the trance was that the only way we can solve the big problems as the world is when we work together. And by having these big problems. The reason they're there is to make us work together. It's like individually, if you get complacent, something could come along and give you a kick. If as a world, we get complacent something or come along and give us a kick. And the reason we're given a kick, it's a compassionate kick, because it's a kick to get us back on the path to awakening again, because that's why we're here in the first place.

Alex Ferrari 48:43
Beautiful, beautiful, beautifully said. So let me ask you about another area that people are really concerned about is these conflicts that are around the world. There's two major ones going on right now with Israel and Palestine, and also in the Ukraine and Russia. And they've been going on for a minute now, both of them. They've been going on for what two years now think Ukraine, and over a year now with with Israel and Palestine as of this recording, and they again seem like such old and I've said this so many times, they seem like old arguments that have been brought back up. I'm like, really is still happening? Where do you see those finishing? Like, I hope that they're going to finish off soon. And we don't have like another 30 year year 30 year war like we did in Afghanistan in the US, which is about 27 years that we were there till we left. But what do you see for those those conflicts? And are there any is there going to have to be another any other conflicts coming for us to wake the hell up?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 49:42
Well, unfortunately I see them both grinding on in particular I've made a lot of predictions about this and videos and things but I feel that Israel will ultimately strike Iran. So that's gonna that's gonna escalate and I feel that Israel will also win Have into Lebanon, and maybe further. So I feel that that's going to extend Ukraine, I don't think that's going to come to an easy end, that won't come to an end to the death of Putin, who will be followed by ultimately by a female leader of Russia. And we've got another one that's going to be coming up, which is going to be Taiwan, because I was talking about that. Right? Way, way back, when I first started my channel, I'm saying that I felt there was going to be a big conflict between Taiwan because we had an amazing sort of connection here, because some, there's a, there's a ancient old leader of China called Sun Yat Sen, some of the family came and had a reading with my wife here. So we've always kind of felt connected with the family of Sun Yat Sen spiritually because he came through in the readings, and I feel that China will ultimately break up into smaller countries and, and from it will come a great democracy, great democracies, that are becoming like a group of countries like Europe, and ultimately, also India will rise but will revive, rise and guide the world, but the teachings of India will be very significant, because it will take a new spiritual view of things. So all of these things, I think, ultimately, this is much, much longer term. But um, all of these things I think, ultimately are hopeful, you know, will ultimately we will sort out ultimately Ukraine, I don't think that will go into anything where, where there will be a nuclear conflict. This is always the theory that because Putin is always retinas, sabers with that he won't dare do that. will ultimately it'll grind to a halt, unfortunately, it will grind to a halt, and a final agreement made, and I think Russia will keep some of the territories, and they'll have to be a compromise is like any compromise, some everybody goes away unhappy. And if everybody goes away, unhappy, that's usually means you've got a proper compromise. I think Israel will grind off, go on for a lot longer, I feel extra so angry, they'll keep going as far as they can until they're stopped. But anyway, we'll have to wait and see. But again, thoughts of things, the way we think about these things, also is important because it's like world karma, you know, we got to start thinking more in terms of humanity. And if there is a renaissance, again, renascence of consciousness, and renascence of the arts, which often comes with the renascence in consciousness, I feel that many of these problems will be easily solved, because we're stuck. And more and more people will, will be thinking in a different way. When you know.

Alex Ferrari 52:34
I appreciate that. There's one thing that has that a thought that has come into my mind, in recent months, any action within recent years, something that I never thought would ever be possible. In my lifetime, it just didn't even come I couldn't even fathom the idea. But I'd love to hear your thoughts of, you know, the US as an empire has been around for about 300 years and change. You know, really, you know, ever since we got rid of we got rid of those those those British folk, but that problem problematic. I mean, you couldn't shake the Irish though. I know we could, we could not know. But as an empire, it's been around for a very short amount of time. I mean, in the, in the grand scheme of, of our history, even our written history that we know of. I always was born here, you think, oh, it's gonna go on forever. I'm assuming the Romans thought the same thing. I'm sure I'm assuming the British thought that same thing. I thought I'm assuming the French that the same thing and everything. Do you see the us doing the same thing that you just said China was going to do? Break up into different territories countries way still working together? But just breaking up for ideology? for other reasons. I'd love to hear your thoughts on that.

Craig Hamilton-Parker 53:58
Yeah. Well, it's obviously the fear is that because I mean, the divisions in America in there so north, south, east and west, I mean, every direction you look in America, there's some there's there's problems with this. I think what's the problem has been is that too many of the leaders of both America and Europe and around the world have been managing they've been just managing things managing decline. They've got no inspiration they got no drive they got you know, most things Brink but usually it's wars that bring people together but fortunately we haven't had any wars. But we have but not global conflicts in the same level that we would have had in the First and Second World Wars. But the so I think there's a lot lack of direction and a lack of national identity and i That's why I think you do need somebody albeit somebody that's a bit you know, suspect. I think you also could say with Trump, you need someone that gets people focused again we need the same in Europe's got exactly the same problem UK is got you All around the world, all around the world, we got exactly the same problems with people having these loss of faith in oneself and it happening to individuals as well, we losing faith in ourselves, you know, we, so, so I think we it will pull together again, I don't think America is going to fall into decline. America was founded on spiritual values, really. I mean, yeah, America was was cool. I live. I was born in Southampton. And the Mayflower is set up for from Southampton to Plymouth and then to America and actually one fight relatives back then was on the boat on the Speedwell. And they have a spiritual people go on as the Pilgrim Fathers and the rest go into America to set up a new spiritual country. And I think that foundation actually are the seeds are in that. And I feel that the seeds of America will be spiritual again. And I think America has just lost its soul at the moment. It's lost its way it's lost its sense of purpose. It because it got lost in materialism. Like the rest of the world, we all got lost in this plastic world, we've created this lazy world, we recreated now with AI and things as well, where we human intelligence becomes less important. We got to get back to basics. I think, for example, Yogananda who, obviously you're interested in as well had it right, I think when he said that what will happen to America in the future is it will become decentralized, it will become smaller homesteads, that the cities will become less important that people will start to kind of get back to the land, again, a bit sort of hippie ish, man. But there's some good thoughts in that. Because we perhaps have got to centralize with everything. And we don't necessarily need to be so and we can still be a country, we can still be a unified country, but in a different way. Reid has taken control of all our nation's and if when I think when we get a spiritual awakening again, you know, places like America will come back into harmony, it won't be like this forever, but it won't break up into multiple, multiple places or ball with one and our other potentially, and a weaker force. No, I think it will in China, because it was was different nations years, centuries ago. But I think in America, it will remain as one. And America will continue to guide the world and be one of the policemen of the world and will be the leading democratic country of the world. And it will do it hand in hand, I believe with India, which will have a marked effect on on America in the long distance future.

Alex Ferrari 57:29
Where do you see where do you see the economic the economies of the world going the global economies because, again, people are terrified of that and what's going on. And as you were talking about greed, Mike God, the markets around the world, the I mean, the corporate interest, all this stuff, it has to crack, there has to be a moment that something happens. I've been saying this from anyone who listened to me, I'm like, we are way overdue for another 2008 way overdue. There has to be something they've been propping up the whole system. And not just here in America around the world. And whatever happens in America affects the world. Whatever happens in Europe affects the world. You know, you if you go down, America is not going to just be like Ebola. It's all going we're all connected. We're all connected. What do you see for the the economic, the economic future of where we're at, at least in the next few years?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 58:23
Well, I think there will ultimately be a sort of an economic collapse, particularly with cryptocurrencies. I felt for a long time that these are illusionary things. I mean, people don't study history nowadays. And you only need to look at history. And right back to the Victorian times here in the UK, we had the safe seat bubble, where everybody invested in the safety companies, but there was nothing there, they were just pieces of paper. We got exactly the same problems. Now we've got people investing in electronic chips. I think mostly, I think we're gonna get a pop at some point. But I also feel that I think in the longer term, we're going to rethink money in a different way now, because we ought to rethink work as well. You know, I mean, this idea of you work Monday to Friday and have Saturdays and Sundays off that came from Victorian factories from England originally, then everybody worked, and then you had the dough, and now we're supposed to have machinery that's gonna take, they're gonna do the work for us. We're suppose eBay is going to do the intellectual work for us. And yet, we're still working Monday to Friday. There's something kind of wrong there. Why are we working like that? We're kind of working for the other guys. You know, a few people get greedy and want to take the lot most of the world's wealth is in the hands of a few people. So I think there will be a readjustment of some sort. And I think Will there be a readjustment of how we look at money and how we look at work? This is kind of a bit more utopian in life, thoughts about these things, but the way money works at the moment, ultimately is bound for failure. Because it can't work. You can't have it continue expansion. There's back in the 60s we were talking about the limits of growth. We We're talking about that it can only grow so far, we're expected at all by now to have collapse is remarkable. It's gone on as long as it has. But sooner or later, it has to topple. And I think there will be a topple with the world's markets. And, you know, make sure you've got your money and things that you can see property and see something that would probably the resilient food might be useful during those times. And I think it will have to rethink, and there will be, and it could be in the next, within the next 10 years, that we see this, this big reversal of things, and a scramble to get things right again, but I think it these things often can bring something better out of them. Or sometimes, you know, we bring, we have to kind of go through rebirths all the time. And I always say to people, when people say, Oh, we're not going to make it, we're not going to make it. But I think, well, you know, we've survived ice ages, we've survived, we survived the dinosaurs, we've survived with a long we've been here longer than, you know, we've evolved more of the most creatures on earth. So somehow we've managed to do it in the past. And I'm sure we're doing it again. And I think once consciousness is this is something special about consciousness is not something held in the body, this whole universe is here for this evolving of consciousness, consciousness is what it's all about. That's what the most important single thing in the universe, and consciousness is not going to be wiped out. So humanity or some form of consciousness will continue. And I think once you get conscious beings on a planet, ultimately, that planet will always survive, if consciousness will survive. And that's what it's all about to create a being that can house consciousness. So it can't go wrong. We can't fail ultimately.

Alex Ferrari 1:01:47
Yeah,

Craig Hamilton-Parker 1:01:47
It's very optimistic.

Alex Ferrari 1:01:49
But I feel you, I feel you as well, because I feel that I'm very optimistic as well. It's not saying that the road to that optimism is not going to be a little bit bumpy, we know, we're going to have to go through some bumps. And that's what people are afraid of. But it's the conversation we had earlier today. It's like, everyone's so terrified of the negative in the pattern and like, Oh my God, and fearful fearful, if you let things unfold, and just do the best you can, along the way, you'll be okay. It always works out. Generally speaking, it always works out. And I think in the long term, we're not going to some, you know, dystopian, you know, Mad Max world, or do you know Terminator world or matrix world, we are not going there. We are more optimistic. But it's not saying that's going to be peaches, you know, and rainbows and unicorns along the way. It's it's going to be, it's going to be struggle.

Craig Hamilton-Parker 1:02:38
And it's how we approach it isn't it is how we live it, we, I think a big mistake we made, we've got to live from the inside out, not the outside in, are all living our lives is that's where it is it's out there. What are my happiness is out there, my love is out there, my people, I want that everything's out there. But that's where we fallen victim. If we can live from the inside, we balanced within ourselves, we're centered within ourselves, we're at peace within ourselves, when we're happy and content within ourselves, then all the things in the outside aren't going to draw us quite so much, we're not going to fall the victim of the illusion all the time. So we've got to live from the inside. And that if each person can do that, then you'll walk this life, you'll walk through this life safely. Because we're not here for long. You know, we're here at the twinkling of an eye, when you think of the great vastness of time that this universe has been here, we're only here for a fraction of time. So make the best of it, walk through this world valiantly, without fear, and, and with love. And, and I think you're always protected, because we're going to slip out of this world, sooner or later death will come to every single one of us. So why fear just walk with it, and enjoy the being here. I think I think that's also part of it, we must love life, we must enjoy life. And we can get too distracted by all the things that are happening in the news and all the worries that are out there. You know, and so what are we doing, we're forcing our attention onto all those things, keep the attention on yourself, on the spirit, on the inner self, on the goodness within you on the love that you can give to the world and think what you can do for it. More of us become focused like that, you know, you don't need many changes, it changes the balance of everything I feel. And that's why things like what you're doing with this podcast. And the rest of it, you know, these are so important because it's bringing together like minded people, people who want to do some good in the world, people who are thinking about the meaning and purpose of their life and this bucket and that the sum is greater than the than its parts, you know, it becomes a very powerful thing. It becomes like a healing energy to the world. So thank goodness for YouTube and the rest because this is a way I think that we can start to bring about a change of human consciousness on a bigger scale than it's ever been.

Alex Ferrari 1:04:50
Absolutely, absolutely. The one thing since you were saying about media, essentially what we're doing and how it's affecting the world. There is an old system that I used to work in I'm called Hollywood. And I heard that you've heard about that system. I heard about it. Yeah. So that old system of Hollywood, it seems, you know, from my point of view seems to be struggling badly. It seems the cracks are starting to come down. The old systems are there start trying to hold on to the old systems, it seems like it's eating itself alive. I'd love to see it, I'd love to hear your point of view on what you see, for that old system of media. And that also includes television, news outlets, that whole thing, you know, mainstream media, which we just use the word Hollywood for? What is going to what's happening to it now? And how is it going to have a place in the future? Or is it going to just fade away and some some new form of the next level, the next level, if you will, shows or media will come out to help help us during this new transition?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 1:05:55
Well, big things are happening in technology, as you I'm sure, be aware. But I mean, some of the things, I'm friends with a number of sort of film directors, and they've been showing me some of the stuff that can be done in artificial environments, where you can put the whole thing in AI in incredible ways. So it's going to mean that we do not have to have the same kind of focus of having everybody all gathered together in LA to make a movie. So this artificial intelligence, and this way that we can work with these new simulated environments is going to make the actual process of making movies much easier. Who would have thought that people like us can produce a YouTube channel, edit it all, have all special effects, bring in clips of different bits and pieces and draw it all together and do it all from a single room, you know, it's changed completely. So I think we're going to see an ending of the a lot of the stuff that goes with big stars, for example, artificial intelligence, we're going to be able to map onto people's faces, our favorite star, and we can watch Marilyn Monroe forever, in every sort of movie, if they allow the copyright free of that sort of thing. So we're gonna see all sorts of strange ways of interacting with things like that. So I think the days of Hollywood as we knew it, are definitely on the Fade. And I'm seeing a big rush, I see a big shift going to other places, but I've got the money, particularly some of the Arab states, I feel that the some of the big movies are going to start to be produced and made in places like, you know, Dubai, and all those type of Arab sort of growing. Arab Tiger states, I suppose, don't know what they're called Camel states, that those sorts of places are going to start to escalate. And I think generally, the trend actually will be want to get back to more realistic filming, because the whole thing has been so affected by woke, that you can't actually watch anything without having political messages put into history and history changed. I find that I think that's wrong. I think we should value history as it was not tried to turn it into something what it wasn't the American universities, because they won the Second World War. In every movie, you see, something is a brick. There's too many political. There's too many political messages put into programs, and they're kind of stupid message, I want to see more thoughtful movies, and I think people will start to hanker for this. I mean, we don't see, you know, if you watch any of the programs on on television, or on Netflix, and the rest of them, they they're they're also dribbly. And they're just the repeat, almost like George Orwell's novel writing machines, you know, they're just the same stuff, regurgitate it, and you can get AI to say, right, redo me, you know, write me this book again, right? That's a novel again, there's only a certain number of stories and they can churn them out. And gentlemen, I think we'll get back to a bit more thoughtful movies will start to come. But the the big Hollywood blockbusters and things like that we don't need that anymore, we can all be done by AI. And although we'll have all that, I think we're going to see kind of the movie making side of it as becoming a much more crafted thing in the future, and probably going back to older styles of filming sometimes. So get away from the endless AI. And of course, mainstream media. I mean, none of this is what's happening. But one of the main problems with politics in the world is none of us can trust mainstream media in any country. If you look at the comments that come into, when I do my videos, the number of comments that come in about people, oh, you've been watching mainstream media. That's not right. In fact, it's become completely lost in the algorithms that's pushing to me all the time, what it wants me to see if I watch a program on one thing have thrown me more and more and more, and if I wasn't more thoughtful, I think that's the way the world is. So the danger is the algorithm. And I think what we're going to have to see in the future with media is going Trouble of the algorithm that the algorithm we have to keep locally and not have someone else have our data and have our watching patterns, and be able to serve us up stuff until we say we can do it. Otherwise, all of us are going to just be constantly the victims of ourselves. Because we watch say, say we say we've got some involved in something like Nazism, and we watched a movie about Nazism, then another program and another one comes up another one, cuz Don't you think that's not what the world is all about? We think everybody is into that. So we get lost and pulled down into a trap of limited thinking. And that's the algorithm doing back we see it on the search engines, we see it on YouTube, we see it on all social media. And we'll see it on adverts soon, with adverts targeted to us specifically with, you know, people that would appeal to me to buy it with our see people or with my age group or something like that, you know, very, very dangerous. And I think that's the thing that's really messing up the media is this algorithm that is telling us what we should be seeing next, you know, and that's because it's not what you it's not what you watch is what you click on what you're showing, you will only see what you're showing. So that's where I think the danger, I think there's going to be lots of changes in that. And there will have to be in the world, particularly with the advent of AI that's going to track every single thing we're doing every single place we go. And every place we take our phone, the danger is that the algorithm that could become so specific to the individual, that we can lose complete track of reality because of it. So it's already happening. That's already it's happening. And this is this is gonna escalate to the point that there has to be global laws to stop this. Otherwise, we're going to be enslaved to the point that, you know, we don't know what's real and what's not at all, at all. And that's a very, very dangerous position, because we were not not even able to make a judgment, because the judgment has been why traumas. You know, it's the

Alex Ferrari 1:11:56
It's happening now, though, Craig, I mean, I mean, yeah. Last, I think the last 10 to 15 years with the, I'd say the last 10 years for sure. With social media like Facebook and these kinds of things. That this algorithm you go into this bubble? And if you like, you watch one thing about the all of a sudden you just I think that's where the division has really been created, is because they just keep your you like, that guy's bad. That guy's bad. That guy's bad. That guy's bad. The Democrats are horrible, the Republicans or the Democrats or Republicans, and it just keeps going, going, going going, and you just keep, you're like, Well, yeah, every Don't you understand everybody feels this way. No, no, it doesn't it.

Craig Hamilton-Parker 1:12:34
That's the problem. Whatever side of the divide, you are, like, I might watch Joe Biden falling down the steps of an aeroplane right? And next year, get go Joe Biden gaps here, this gap gap gap brand used to hold screens full of them chock a block shorts, as well as the main videos. Well, what about the other side of support? So you know, so the depends what you watch, they just be more of it so immediately pushes you into an extremist viewpoint, because everybody that's watching is pushed into their own personal extremist viewpoint. So you might be leaning towards one way or the other, but it's pushed far, far further than it should be. And again, this is where we got to really think about things I think, in the future, this AI is, is obviously going to be massive, we're beginning to realize that now. But it could also it could, it could wipe out human choice, it could, it could wipe out democracy, because we're not able to know who we choose, we could be so manipulated, that we don't know what's truth and what's not. And again, one more reason to come back to the idea. Only trust your own experience. Don't trust the experience of what other people tell you, you got to go from your own standpoint. And be aware that all around you you're being manipulated one way or the other.

Alex Ferrari 1:13:48
Craig I appreciate everything you've said in this conversation so far, I'm going to ask a few questions. Ask all my guests, my friend. What is your definition of living a fulfilled life?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 1:13:58
But I suppose you feel fulfilled if you feel happy. You know, happiness is what we consider as being that's what arises, if we feel fulfilled. And I think happiness is often connected just with I think being content, learning to be content, not not being lazy, but having inspiration and wanting to do things in the world, but also being content with what you achieve. And I think happiness comes if you always do your best in life, my granddad used to say to me, Craig, whatever goes wrong in life, or as long as you've done your best to win or lose, you've done your best you'll always be happy. And I thought that was a good motto and it's stuck with me on the life. So that's what I feel that's where it comes from to do your best. That will always bring

Alex Ferrari 1:14:41
Now if you had a chance to go back in time and talk to a little Craig. What advice would you give him?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 1:14:46
Don't do any clairvoyance.

Alex Ferrari 1:14:49
Get a real job

Craig Hamilton-Parker 1:14:51
Real job man

Alex Ferrari 1:14:52
It's a rough hustle it's a rough hustle.

Craig Hamilton-Parker 1:14:56
I suppose one would would say something to the effect of You know, have no fear, you know, just go through loads. Because I think I would say to myself in the past that all the things you worry about never happen. Because they don't, the things we worry about don't usually happen. That's the thing is the thing is just deal with things, and instead of worrying about what will happen, and I think that would have saved an awful lot of energy, and I think you give yourself another 50 years of life, I think,

Alex Ferrari 1:15:25
Fair enough. How do you define God or Source energy?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 1:15:28
Well, that's, that's the worst word in the universe, because it means so much to so many people. And when people say, Do you believe in God? So I have to first define what God is because I can't I can't tell you what God is. Certainly God is not a man in this in a chair in the sky type of thing. I don't know whether God is it has individual, awake awareness? I don't think so. So I think of God is the universe becoming conscious, and I was becoming conscious of being part of God. So it's the flowering of consciousness. That's, as I understand God, the universe becoming conscious, though it might already be conscious. But it's the process and the result at the same time. What is love? Well, love is God. Love is truth. Love is bliss, they ultimately love. There's two types of love. In many respects, there's the love that we have between individuals, which is like the affections between peoples, the love of a mother to a daughter, or a child, or love of two people towards each other. That is one level of love, love, but there's also a love that's beyond that. That I think is the compassionate love, the selfless love, which is the love of being. And I think, when everything in the universe dissolves, when everything is taken away, what remains is pure love, and it's beyond human description. It is that really love is divine consciousness,

Alex Ferrari 1:16:51
And what is the ultimate purpose of life?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 1:16:53
That's a false question, in some ways, because it assumes there's a beginning, middle and an end. But the I think the ultimate purpose is life is to be ultimately, because ultimately, we always live in the timeframe that I start this life or go to this. And I tried to find meaning and do this and that and that. But ultimately, it's just being. So I don't think we can answer that question. Because There'll always be another one beyond it. But this is a question that relates to relative being as it were. And so it has a purpose, but it has no purpose simultaneously. So there is no ultimate purpose to life. We can never possibly comprehend that, I feel. But if we have a sense of meaning, then we're kind of on the right track.

Alex Ferrari 1:17:38
And where can people find out more about you and the amazing work you're doing in the world?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 1:17:42
Oh, wow. Just look my name up, Craig Hamilton-Parker on YouTube, I'm sure I'll have some links in the description, hopefully. And you can look up my work on YouTube, I also got my website, at psychics.co.uk. And if people want to book readings with me there, they're very limited, because I can only do so many, but I do workshops and things that people find interesting. And also, most importantly, with my work at the moment, really is I'm setting up a charitable trust, charitable foundation in which we tried to help the world and we're trying to build a spiritual center. So anybody does look me up, I would grateful if you have a look at that, and see what you think about what we're trying to do to on that that level, as well.

Alex Ferrari 1:18:23
And do you have any parting messages for the audience?

Craig Hamilton-Parker 1:18:26
I think I've ever spoke spoken too much. You know, I think I think finally, I mean, from what we've been talking about today, I didn't quite know how direction was gonna we're gonna be talking about the afterlife, and medium and things like that. We kind of spoken on a spiritual level. And I think what we kind of kind of come out between the two of us when we chat in here is I think, the idea of fearlessness. Isn't it a bit that we shouldn't keep worrying about things we shouldn't keep thinking about that the world's going to fall apart around us. And and I think just be happy with the world be happy, best final message. Be happy.

Alex Ferrari 1:18:59
Craig it has been such a pleasure and honor speaking to you, my friend. I look forward to our next conversation. And I appreciate you and everything you're doing to awaken the planet. So I appreciate you my friend.

Craig Hamilton-Parker 1:19:09
Yeah, thank you very much indeed. It's real pleasure to talk to intelligent person, open minded person and someone I hopefully on that we're all on the same vibe. So yeah. Thanks. Thanks for having me on.
