Speaker 1:
[00:00] Now, here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeart Radio.

Speaker 2:
[00:04] Hi, and welcome back to Coast to Coast. George Noory with you. Bridget Finklaire back with us as an English-born author and spiritual teacher, lives in Cape Town, South Africa. She was a professional psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, energy healer in London's Harley Street before immigrating in 2012. Bridget is currently working on a nonfiction book called The Bone Circle, which we'll talk about, Eighteen Pearls of Wisdom, back after five and a half years. Hello, Bridget.

Speaker 3:
[00:34] Hello, George. It's good to be back. It's been too long.

Speaker 2:
[00:38] How have you been?

Speaker 3:
[00:40] Do you know what? I actually haven't been well. I had a kind of a mystery illness in those last five and a half years. I think last time we spoke, I kind of promised that the Bone Circle was going to go out there, and I was going to be in touch with people, and then know that the universe had other ideas, and I got quite sick. But I'm back on the rise now. I'm pretty much, well, not quite there, but I'm almost there, and I'm raring to go and get back on track with the work.

Speaker 2:
[01:05] What percent would you say you're at right now?

Speaker 3:
[01:08] Well, in health-wise or work-wise?

Speaker 2:
[01:11] Health-wise.

Speaker 3:
[01:13] Health-wise, I reckon I'm about 80 percent. That's not bad. With the grace of God, I'll be completely better in the next year. Well, certainly by the end of the year. But it's meant that now that I was having horrific migraines twice a week, and just a lot of symptoms. Nobody could work out why. And it just put the brakes on everything I was doing. And I actually think that's the time we're living in. There's a lot of darkness out there and there's a lot of light. And I think that perhaps I was being stopped from doing this work. But anyway, we've got to the bottom of it. Eighty percent there. And this year is the year I'm going to return. So watch the space.

Speaker 2:
[01:51] Did you find out what was causing them?

Speaker 3:
[01:54] Eventually, yes. I was deliberately poisoned. It was really bizarre. If I went to a normal GP, there was nothing wrong with me. No, my bloods were fine. Everything's fine. A little bit of osteoporosis. That's fine for a woman of my age. And I just had to keep searching and not give up. And eventually found out that I was deliberately poisoned with mercury, then black mold and then cadmium, which is another heavy metal. And the three attacked the central nervous system and the endocrine system. And it's something that you look at the bloods, everything's fine. So it was a real mystery. And I found out that it was from some kind of, there's a lot of dark energies out there. And I think it was some kind of psychic attack that initiated it, which couldn't be seen. So this was why it was a mystery. But in the process, George, I learned so much about health and wellbeing. I could write another book. So I'm kind of grateful because I've learned so much. It's amazing. And I've got to the bottom of it and I'm rising.

Speaker 2:
[02:53] So good for you.

Speaker 3:
[02:54] All good in the end. All ends, all's well that ends well, to quote Shakespeare.

Speaker 2:
[03:00] You bound us back to normal again, huh?

Speaker 3:
[03:03] Absolutely.

Speaker 2:
[03:05] Great. Bridget, you talk about that we live in two worlds. What are those worlds?

Speaker 3:
[03:10] Yes. We have, we're living in the world we know around us, which is a world of duality. And if we look at the Biblical term for that, it would be the tree of good and evil, which is the good and evil, the light and the shade, the hot and the cold, everything is in a duality. It's like a game of chess for every white piece. There's a black piece, you know, so there's a yin and a yang, there's a good and a bad within this world. But this world is kind of like cut off from a higher reality. There's a much greater reality. And we can look at that scientifically or we can look at that spiritually. But there's actually multiple levels of different realms, different dimensions. And beyond this kind of fallen system, this cut off system of things that we're in our local universe, there's a much greater infinite cosmos teeming with intelligence, which is really the domain of the divine, I would say. The divine obviously is everywhere, but can get cut off here. So think of it as our world within a greater infinite world, almost as if like a baby within the womb of the mother, we're within a much greater world. And in that greater world, it goes beyond duality. It goes into far greater levels of consciousness and awareness into a much higher mind, the mind of the divine of creation itself. And those are the two worlds, really, this kind of limited worlds that we find ourselves in. And my goodness, if we look at it right now, we really see that duality, we see this divide and rule, we see people pitted against each other, whether it's about politics or religion or sexuality. We're seeing this real sort of conflict coming in here. We're always got wars and all sorts of poverty, things going on here. Beyond this in the greater world, that doesn't exist. That world of unity, of all of the good things in life, if you like. So those are the two worlds that I speak about.

Speaker 2:
[05:18] Bridget, I'm seeing more unhappiness these days than I've ever witnessed in my life. Are you seeing the same thing where you are?

Speaker 3:
[05:26] Yes, I think it's a global thing that's happening because everything is shifting in our world right now. I believe we're going through the end times, which have been obviously documented in different wisdom traditions, not just the Christian tradition. And we can see that when we look at what's playing out. There's so much going on. We've got all kinds of problems with poverty, with drug abuse. We've got a whole agenda with things like vaccines and pharmaceuticals, and we've got poor foods available to us. We've got terrible things happening around the world. And I think that drags people down because remember, we're a collective humanity and there's a collective consciousness, a collective unconscious. So we're tap into that all the time. Now, if you watch the news, it's all doom and gloom. And even if you watch something like Netflix, most of the films on there are doom and gloom. They're dystopian futures. There's a lot of violence on our televisions. There's a lot of doom scrolling on social media. And that affects the psyche, because what we put into the psyche really affects our well-being, because your subconscious mind doesn't know the difference between something that's real and something that's imagined. It doesn't understand that you're not under threat right now when you read about something awful that's happened. So I think it's pushing a lot of people into fear and unhappiness. There's all kinds of things. There's economic problems going on at the moment as well. So there's all these different problems. There don't seem to be the solutions for that. And I think that pushes people into a kind of treadmill life, where they find their life is maybe not fulfilling. Maybe they've worked hard to get what they thought would be success, but they've got there and it's not actually fulfilling. They've got the things they wanted, but it's not quite scratching that itch inside. And then being affected by everything that's going on around us in the world, it pushes us into that unhappiness. So I think it's a global thing. In terms of South Africa, I think we have a different set of problems here with massive corruption. And I do feel sometimes that some of the people in the townships may be happier because they kind of got their extended family around them. And there's a joyousness here, which I don't see so much in the Northern Hemisphere, either in Europe or possibly in America. I don't say that's there for everyone, because there's a whole different set of problems here. But definitely, there's a trend. I think you've probably noticed it, George, as well.

Speaker 2:
[08:14] Absolutely.

Speaker 4:
[08:15] And I know you're going to want some after hearing this. This is an amazing story.

Speaker 5:
[08:17] We've got Stephen and Malachi Gregory in Nelson, New Zealand.

Speaker 4:
[08:22] I understand that Malachi, who is eight, almost nine years old now, was suffering with not just one or two warts, but a significant outbreak of warts all over his body. So significant it impacted his ability to really function.

Speaker 6:
[08:35] Yeah, he was having trouble even holding a pencil to write. It was Ty's book, actually, that got me thinking about it.

Speaker 5:
[08:42] I'm not surprised. It is an amazing immunomodulator. And so I can see that it would work.

Speaker 4:
[08:47] And so at what point did you see that there was actually improvement? It's really going to work.

Speaker 6:
[08:53] Well, we really started to notice it around 12 weeks. You can see these things actually getting smaller and smaller and then going down to where they're just little red marks. The whole things are gone. And we're talking about once, you know, one the size of a walnut. I thought no way that's going to wow. It's just been miraculous to see him get into a pair of shoes.

Speaker 4:
[09:12] Yes. How wonderful.

Speaker 6:
[09:14] It's great to see him so happy and confident.

Speaker 4:
[09:17] Absolutely wonderful.

Speaker 6:
[09:18] Friends that have seen it, that is blown away.

Speaker 4:
[09:20] Ty, this is awesome.

Speaker 6:
[09:21] Yeah, this is awesome.

Speaker 2:
[09:22] Another amazing story.

Speaker 4:
[09:24] Why?

Speaker 2:
[09:24] We're talking about carnivora. Call them to awaken your immune system and protect yourself now. Call 1-866-836-8735. That's 1-866-836-8735. Or visit carnavora.com. C-A-R-N-I-V-O-R-A, carnavora.com. And you believe consciousness is the key to the next evolution of people, don't you?

Speaker 3:
[09:50] I absolutely do. If you think about our evolution so far, we go back, it's really been sort of first and foremost a kind of a physical evolution, sort of beyond what Dr. Hurtak would call the root races, you know, the Neanderthals, and as we've had a physical evolution, and then since we've been the Homo sapiens, we've had a technological evolution, and we've gone so far with technology. Our lives today are completely different even to 30 years ago, when I was talking to somebody the other day, my kids who are 33 and 31 grew up without mobile phones and went out and did normal things like climb trees and swam rivers and, you know, went out into the wilderness and walked to school on their own and all kinds of things that don't happen now in our society. So that's been the evolution so far, but where do we go on? I mean, there are the technocrats who are saying, we need to go the route of AI, we need to have a chip put in us because AI is going to outrun us. And in terms of logic and rationality and data processing, absolutely AI will outrun us. But what AI does not have is consciousness, doesn't have intuition, it doesn't have a right brain. And I think we need to look at not AI, but I am, who are we really at a higher level? That has to be the evolution of humanity now is going into the next level of consciousness. It has to be a consciousness expansion in order to move away from what's going on.

Speaker 2:
[11:23] I would not get a chip put in my head. I would not do it.

Speaker 3:
[11:26] Nor would I. Not for a million dollars, I would not do it ever.

Speaker 2:
[11:31] And it's something biblical, isn't it?

Speaker 3:
[11:34] Absolutely, absolutely. There's so many things biblical that we can look at here. The thing that springs to mind most is the Book of Revelation, where it talks about the mark of the fallen, the mark of the devil, and without that, you cannot pay. Yeah, the mark of the beast. Without that, you cannot buy or sell. And we can see that that could easily be a chip within us. So I think we need to be really aware of what's going on right now and the agendas that are playing out in the world.

Speaker 2:
[12:04] I mean, here's the scenario. I predict one day they do away with a cashless society. They go all digital and they tell everybody all you need to do. You're not even going to have to work with a credit card. We're putting a little chip in the palm of your hand. You just hold it over the machine and you're all set. No more cash, no more anything. I bet that's how they're going to do it to us, don't you?

Speaker 3:
[12:31] I do. I think that's the agenda. I think we have to be very wary of that because once they start putting a chip inside of you, what else are they going to use that chip for? Then you get into digital currency and at that point, they can track you and so then they can go, okay, well, you're not earning this much or you haven't gone for your annual checkup or you've got high cholesterol so you can't go and buy that pizza or whatever it is. They can track what you're doing and control you because they got that control through the chip that is put in your hand. I think this is the mark of the beast, if I'm honest.

Speaker 2:
[13:09] I think you're right. I think you're absolutely right. And what do you think the timetable might be?

Speaker 3:
[13:14] Well, that's the big question, George. I always ask myself, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me. I'm just going to mute so that I can.

Speaker 2:
[13:23] Sure thing.

Speaker 3:
[13:24] That's the big question that everybody asks and I ask that of anybody that I think might know the answer. But we know biblically that it says, nobody knows the time, you know, it's like a thief in the night. Nobody except for the father knows the time. So I think we really know the time scale, but what we can do is look for the signs, which it also tells us biblically to look for the signs, look to the heavens. Well, we've had a lot of signs, haven't we? We've had AI Atlas, we've had comets, we've had solar flares. Clearly something's happening with the sun. We've got the Schumann resonance going crazy. We've got earthquakes, we've got volcanoes erupting, we've got massive climate change. And I think disclosure is just on our doorstep. I don't know why it hasn't happened yet, because there seems to be evidence, well, there is evidence that there is other life forms that have visited us, but that hasn't come out into the public domain yet. So I think they're sitting on that, but that's likely to come out soon. So I can't see that it, but I think it's going to happen in our lifetime, let's put it that way. We don't really know, could be three years, could be 30 years, but I think things are happening sooner than we realize, and I suspect that towards the end, things could speed up quite rapidly. So we could be living our lives, and then suddenly there's changes upon us, and we might take us by surprise, unless we have prepared for that.

Speaker 2:
[14:53] After the break, Bridget, we'll talk about the upcoming book, The Bone Circle and the 18 Principles that are included in that. Did you come up with all those?

Speaker 3:
[15:04] I did. I mean, I don't think anything is brand new. I think that we stand on the shoulders of giants, and I have acknowledged the people that have gone before me. But actually, those 18 bones are the ones that I have made up and use, but they are taken from wisdom traditions. For example, the first bone is love is the way. And we know, don't we? Every single religion, every single wisdom tradition, every single spiritual teaching talks about the importance of love and love being the central thing. By the way, that's what AI does not have. So love is the way. So yes, I've made that up, but actually it's an ancient thing that we know. I've just put it into a modern format for people to be able to understand.

Speaker 2:
[15:51] They just made a robot in China that ran a race faster than a human being could do. Absolutely remarkable. It's also kind of scary, isn't it?

Speaker 3:
[16:04] I think it's scary as well, because I don't think we really know what we're tampering with and where that's going to go. Because at the moment, we're all excited about this robot that can run faster than a person, or this robot that can calculate things or research. AI is now so prevalent, most people are using it. So it's all very exciting right now. But what happens when that AI starts creating its own AI and starts speaking in its own language or starts taking over? What happens if those robots start going, well, what's the point of these human beings? What are they contributing? So I think we're on a very dangerous, slippery slope. And what has to happen now is ethics. There has to be some kind of ethics that are programmed into this technology.

Speaker 2:
[16:49] How easy is it for people to make themselves happy? Ha!

Speaker 3:
[16:55] Billion dollar question. Listen, we live in a duality, as I said right along, and I think it's impossible for somebody to be happy all the time. I don't think we're realistic if we believe that to be true. Because things happen in this world, and sometimes things happen, left field on a Tuesday afternoon when you're not expecting it and bang, your life changes. It could be experience a death of a close one, for example. It could be that you have an accident, that you're made redundant. Something can happen that just rocks your world. So the trick is not to seek for happiness constantly, but to be able to ride the waves and to have an overall trajectory of happiness. So if you can find what you love doing, what you're here to do, the thing that uses your gifts, your talents, your skills, the thing that you just love doing where you lose track of time, and with your living in the right place, with the right people, and you've done the work on yourself as well, you can find that happiness from within. You can find that happiness by connecting with the divine and however you want to do that through spiritual practice. There's lots of things that can bring you happiness, but there's always gonna be something that can knock you off the perch. And that's where you have to say, this too shall pass. Okay, something's happening, it's challenging. What is it teaching me? Because I believe those challenges that we encounter in life are actually here to teach us. This is school house earth. Our soul came here to learn and grow. And unfortunately, it learns and grows best through challenge. So we do get challenges and they're normally here for us to experience something, to learn something, to grow from something. And if we can look at it in that way, and if we can also understand that it's not there forever, it's going to end, there's just a thing that you're going through right now and there is sunshine on the other side of those clouds, the sun is always there, whether the clouds are there or not, then I think it helps us to live a more happy and fulfilled life, even though it's never going to be rainbows and unicorns.
