Brandon reads Chapter 9 of "Oneness" which contains an interesting allegory: life as a buffet that we visit with our clean plates, over and over again, looking to sample any of the delicious offerings we call contrast—and how we can content ourselves with simply "being" in between servings of this endless buffet.
Omar Makram was first featured on ep. #224 and returns to talk about his new book, Transcending the Maya Matrix. He gives Brandon some background on the book, which references both the famous sci-fi movie and the Hindu "maya" concept of illusion, and expounds upon the core of his writing which entails trusting and cultivating our innate guidance.
Brandon and Chris Jackson address a couple of wonderful questions from listeners who ask how one can continue expanding and getting more abundance in one's life if there is a perception that one already has enough, and a lovely message from a listener who dreamt of an awakened Earth and wondered how we can take his beautiful vision into the realm of tangible reality.
Brandon is "given" the theme of today's episode as an exploration of all things related to identity, something we all consider so integral to who we are as human beings, but which in the end is more akin to a role we act out in a play, with a relative usefulness that does not ultimately define nor limit our boundless spirits.
Emily Stroia is a spiritual teacher, author and founder of the online school Intuitive Soul Academy to help people tap into their intuitive gifts and heal past trauma. In this episode she tells Alexa her story, how she found her way to the podcast and she passes on some of what she has learned and gained, from this community and elsewhere.

Brandon reads Chapter 37 of "Oneness" which talks about conflict resolution without compromise and highlights the need to dig deep and be authentic when searching for lasting peace. This chapter was actually read before (#609) but it we decided to publish it again anyway, so that its message may find its way to whoever needs it most, as it seems to be especially relevant in these times.
Alicia Lynn Diaz is the founder of the Enlightened Body System, a radical self-healing program that helps people purge past trauma and attain self-realization. She talks about the six stages of disease progression, her understanding and interpretation of Aryuvedic medicine principles, epigenetics, the biology of belief and other fascinating facts and perspectives about the human body.
Brandon and Chris Jackson have another freewheeling conversation, talking about everything from the most subjective aspects of the self to ongoing shifts in our societies and civilizations, all tied together by a loose thread of "solar" associations and at one point discussing the "Be-Do-Have" paradigm that most people understand backwards (as "Have-Do-Be") from the way it was intended.
Brandon reads reviews and addresses listener questions, in particular one about how certain medications could interfere with one's spiritual development, and shares a great Abraham-Hicks clip that talks about the underlying, energetic causes for any ailments and illnesses that may afflict us.
Ross Cessna is a self-described "techno-shamanic gutter poet" who struggled with mental illness at one point in his past, but it would be difficult especially for members of the Facebook group to tell this, as Ross often writes there and elsewhere online with a clear and insightful voice. To follow Ross and contact him about shared interests such as podcasts and Tarot card reading:
Brandon reads Chapter 24 of "Oneness" by Rasha which expounds on our human journey into this plane of gross duality and contrast, and how it is precisely adversity and contrast that serve as catalysts for our spiritual evolution in this physical plane.
Ronnie Landis is a martial artist and podcast host with a focus on nutrition, holistic health and positive thinking. In this episode he tells Brandon how he got going on his path and gives his take on a wide variety of topics, from diet and exercise to deeper questions about our culture and civilization, all with the aim of delivering the most empowering message possible to the audience.
Brandon and Chris Jackson continue the discussions on abundance that have taken place in the podcast lately, specifically with Derek Rydall (#627 & #632) and Chris also talks about the upcoming ABunDance Enchantment event that Grateful Generation organizes in the Los Angeles area yearly. Positive Head listeners get an additional incentive to attend this event.
Brandon and Charis Melina Brown have a very freewheeling and spontaneous conversation about, among other subjects, intuition and "energetically feeling" into situations and people, and they also answer a question about the nature of déjà vu.
Alexa hosts Sam Buchanan this week; Sam is a director, playwright and theater artist who just got married and is committed to explore polyamory with his partner. He tells Alexa how he arrived at this place, what his understanding of polyamory, shame and relationships is, and makes it clear that his focus is growth and love, honesty and compassion.

Brandon does his best to invoke the frequency of Hawaiian Ho'oponopono, the forgiveness & amendments ritual, in order to help heal any wounds made raw not just by recent episodes of the podcast, but perhaps the collective culture as well, by releasing this intention out into the world.
Clementina Giovannetti is a best-selling author and an intuitive healer who specializes in dream interpretation. In this remarkable interview she retells her incredible life story and fascinating past-life regression as a Roman centurion, as well as other incredible mind-bending tales of reincarnation across many lifetimes and many selves that all tie together in a common theme: we are all One.

Brandon offers his take on racial discord and tension, and invites us to always try and use these and any occurrences that cause us to react intensely as opportunities to examine ourselves and regulate our own frequency, since our control over events and people is limited but we can always control our own reactions.
Brandon and Sonya Sophia discuss their participation at the Conscious Media Festival in Austin this past weekend, and among other things they discuss the amazingly synchronistical and powerfully transformative experiences that Brandon, Sonya and Positive Head guest/event organizer Sandra Walter helped bring into fruition at this remarkable gathering.
Alexa welcomes Beth Ward to the show, she is a Reiki master and intuitive healer who found her life radically altered by a near-death experience. She talks about her visit to the "other side", the lessons she continues to glean from her journey and details some of her current healing practices (links to contact her are included).

Brandon returns back to the show highly inspired after spending time away in Costa Rica at the Superhero Academy Mastermind meet-up and Envision Festival, and shares some amazing examples of synchronicity, magic and "activation" that transpired on his journey.
Derek and Brandon continue to dive deeper into master creative principles of the Universe, like the laws of Emergence, Abundance and Circulation, which Derek also explores in his own podcast and new book. He finds profoundly creative yet simple words to help as many people as possible to put into practice these powerful principles in their own lives. Positive Head listeners also get a freebie from Derek plus more exciting offers.
