March’s book is the Romance of Reality by Bobby Azarian and it’s essential reading as far as I’m concerned. It’s essentially an attempt at a scientific theory of everything - the big kahuna in cosmology… and also LIFE. It’s a theory called adaptive complexity science and it integrates physics, biology, neuroscience, computer science, evolutionary theory and statistics. Azarian, a cognitive neuroscientist, argues through rigorous scientific and mechanistic explanation that our biosphere and the entire universe are undergoing an adaptive transformation towards increased intelligence and complexity. This is Part One - it’s free for all subscribers & listeners. For paid subscribers on Substack, there’s a deep dive Part Two episode where I cover how to apply this mind-blowing information to your life and business, I talk niches and your uniqueness, future freedom and money, AI and collective unconscious, and how to actively cosmically awaken.  Go to kellyingraham.substack.com to become a member / paid subscriber.

This is the first episode in this series is my friend Amy Laughlin, breathwork teacher and cowrie shell diviner, mother of two amazing children, and alchemist of her own healing and life’s journey. Amy has a way to weave words and rise to higher perspectives that leaves me in awe continually. Amy shares her powerful healing story from struggling with severe OCD, anxiety and depression to healing so deeply she has fallen in love with this messy, painful human experience. We get into our beliefs about God (of course), how human consciousness is evolving, the truths that nature share with us, Amy’s experiences in Ghana, how we don’t care if people think we’re crazy… and SO much more. This is Part One, it’s free for all subscribers & listeners.

Kelly Ingraham speaks to ancient firsts: the first religion, the first myth, the first rulership, the first hierarchy. Have you ever wondered when and how in history society became hierarchical?
