In this episode:

Queen Nefertiti appears first—regal, luminous, Egyptian headdress, blue gown, and an energetic breeze moving only around her. Her opening line establishes the theme: “I am seated fully within myself. And so are you.” The name comes through as “Nefertiti.”

Viktor Frankl appears next—gentle presence, glasses, gray hair, calm smile. His identity is confirmed through the title Man’s Search for Meaning. His energy is quiet but powerful, grounded in lived experience.

The Core Teaching: Sovereignty as an Inner Throne

Together they deliver a unified teaching: sovereignty is not granted by rulers, removed by circumstances, or earned through status. It is an ancient inheritance—a return to an inner throne.

Nefertiti emphasizes that sovereignty begins when you stop “borrowing your center” from the world:

  • stop needing external confirmation of worth

  • stop shaping identity around approval or fear

  • return to the “inner throne” that most people abandon early in childhood

She reframes sovereignty not as independence, but as intimacy with your own essence—an unbroken connection between your being and Source. From her view, a sovereign being doesn’t dominate or defend; it simply is, and life reorganizes around that state of being.

Frankl complements this with his signature insight: there is an inner space no one can touch—not cruelty, misfortune, despair, or authority. Sovereignty is claimed inside limitation. He underscores the central idea:

between stimulus and response is a space; in that space lies your power, freedom, and sovereignty.

So sovereignty becomes: choosing meaning, response, perspective, and the story you tell—regardless of conditions.

Nefertiti’s “Crown” Reframed

Gary asks if Nefertiti’s real-life queenship was an external version of sovereignty. She explains that her outward crown was only a reflection of an already-claimed inner seat. She believed she was living political power, but from her current perspective she sees it as a frequency demonstration—energetic rulership, not domination. Her power was never her life circumstances; it was her being.

Frankl and the Holocaust: Meaning, Choice, and a Larger Architecture

The conversation goes deep into Frankl’s experience of the Holocaust. Frankl describes the camps as the place where he discovered what cannot be taken: inner meaning and inner freedom. He says that despair killed faster than starvation, and that hope/purpose gave the body strength—because inner choice was the only remaining domain of power.

He distinguishes what he believed while alive vs. what he sees now:

  • Then: he did not view suffering as chosen; he saw it as brutal, imposed, dehumanizing, senseless.

  • Now: he perceives a “metaphysical architecture” and soul-level intention behind events, without calling suffering “beautiful.” He frames it as purposeful at a soul level for many—sometimes as agreements, sometimes as “perfect matches” to intentions—within an intricate web of collective and personal trajectories.

He clarifies it was not karmic punishment, and that the experience (for him) aligned with a pre-birth intention to test the limits of inner freedom and anchor the understanding of choice.

When asked about the broader impact, he suggests the event revealed something profound to mass consciousness: resilience of spirit, the architecture of psyche, and expansions that reshaped societies—implying it catalyzed shifts toward unity and deeper human awareness.

A particularly provocative point arises: his “now” perspective suggests even figures viewed as villains are still part of the same larger consciousness exploration—equal in the sense of soul-level value—though he acknowledges his human-life perspective experienced it as far beyond “villainy.”

Nefertiti and Christy: Ease of “Merge” and Soul Lineage

Nefertiti repeatedly indicates an unusually easy energetic merge with Christy—suggesting a vibrational or lineage resonance. She also clarifies that in her earthly life she ruled in an equal partnership (a “true dyad”) rather than as a subordinate consort.

Ancient Sleep Pattern Download

Gary asks about sleep in Nefertiti’s era. She describes a biphasic sleep rhythm: two sleeps with a calm waking period between—often communal, practical, intimate, and even sacred. The “midnight waking” was considered normal and a time when the veil was thin and the mind receptive. She connects this to modern spiritual waking patterns (often 2–3 a.m.) and suggests artificial light disrupted humanity’s natural wisdom of the night.

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
