DJ DREZ is a multifaceted artist known for his roles as a peaceful visionary, sound ambassador, and skilled turntablist. His music transcends traditional boundaries, blending elements of hip-hop, world music, soul, funk, jazz, and reggae into what he describes as his "trademark sound and production." His work is not just about creating music but about facilitating an experience, whether it's through dance, yoga, or intimate gatherings. He has worked with an array of top artists including Blackstar, KRS-One, Macy Gray, and Nas, and has been involved with prestigious organizations like Adidas and the X Games. DJ DREZ is also a regular on the global festival circuit, sharing stages with the likes of Moby, Ziggy Marley, and De La Soul. Beyond his production as a DJ, Drez is a passionate yogi, embodying a lifestyle of discipline, gratitude, and compassion. His music has found a unique niche in the yoga community, where he has collaborated on projects like the "Rock Om" in-room yoga experience for Hard Rock Hotels. DJ DREZ continues to inspire as a lover of music, a student of life, and sometimes a teacher, always pushing the envelope of sound to new, universal heights. In this episode, DJ DREZ shares his journey from graffiti artist to DJ, exploring how his music has evolved over three decades from his early days in the hip-hop scene during the Golden Era, his exploration into Eastern philosophies, and how these experiences melded into his distinctive sound that blends hip-hop with spiritual and yogic influences. This episode delves into DREZ's philosophy of music as a tool for emotional and spiritual expression, offering a critique on modern society's tendency to numb out through substances or social media. He shares his vision of music that encourages listeners to feel genuinely, celebrating the spectrum of human emotions without external aids. We explore the concept of the "middle path" from yogic teachings, which DREZ applies to his life and art, seeking balance amidst life's chaos. He opens up about the personal challenges of maintaining this balance, especially in the context of long-term relationships and parenthood, providing a raw and honest look at the personal growth and introspection that come with these roles. DREZ's narrative is not just about music; it's about the journey of self-discovery, the healing power of sound, and the commitment to authenticity in an often superficial world. His reflections on creating music inspired by both abstract concepts and tangible life experiences offer listeners a profound insight into how art can mirror and shape our lives. Whether you're a long-time fan of DJ DREZ's work or new to his transformative sound, this conversation promises to enlighten, inspire, and perhaps even guide you toward a more conscious way of living.…

Stem cell biologist and recipient of the 2009 Goi Peace Award, he has been a guest speaker on hundreds of TV and radio shows, as well as keynote presenter for national and international conferences. He is regarded as one of the leading voices of the new biology. Dr. Lipton began his scientific career as a cell biologist, receiving his Ph.D. Degree from the University of Virginia at Charlottesville. In 1982, Dr. Lipton began examining the principles of quantum physics and how they might be integrated into his understanding of the cell’s information processing systems. His breakthrough studies on the cell membrane revealed that this outer layer of the cell was an organic homologue of a computer chip, the cell’s equivalent of a brain. Dr. Lipton’s novel scientific approach transformed his personal life as well. His deepened understanding of cell biology highlighted the mechanisms by which the mind controls bodily functions, and implied the existence of an immortal spirit. He applied this science to his personal biology, and discovered that his physical well-being improved, and the quality and character of his daily life was greatly enhanced.…

In this podcast, Amadon DellErba talks about the virtue of selflessness over “self-love” and the dangers of #selflove becoming selfishness. In the world of social media today there is tremendous emphasis on self-love and little-to-none on selfless service to our brothers and sisters. What is lacking in our culture that we have to focus on loving ourselves so much? Could it be the constant messages from various forms of media implying we are not good enough, smart enough, rich enough, skinny enough, good-looking enough, cool enough, etc. Drawing on concepts and quotes from The URANTIA Book and the life of The Master, Amadon points to the root problem that we are not living today in a culture of love and acceptance, and that the true nature of this concept of “self-love” is more about the desire to have self-worth and self-esteem. Our consumer culture tries to supplant this desire with a focus on taking care of one’s self, but the true path to achieving the highest form of “self love” and self respect is the path of selfless service; of being our brother’s and sister’s keeper. Amadon says, “Unselfishness ennobles the soul and sharpens one’s spiritual intelligence, and most importantly brings peace to the heart, and fills a person with meaning and joy.”…

He delves into the difference between being a provider versus being a protector and looks at the historic role of father/protector/warrior vs. the modern-day duties of spiritual protection and spiritual warfare. Amadon talks about the need to provide a sense of security and confidence and how insecure men can never provide security until they become whole and balanced. He talks about the role of a spiritual warrior in today’s modern culture and the rigorous training necessary to ward off spiritual threats. By holding a high set of standards and expectations, Amadon creates a safe and loving environment for his wife and children, as well as anyone who he encounters. He shares about his experience as a father and the need to protect his children from unwanted influences that threaten to taint their pure and innocent souls. He also shares about being a protective husband, the trust that is required for a successful, loving marriage and how that type of protector differs from a man who can simply provide material comforts by making good money. A warrior's love goes beyond physical protection.

5 years fa25:20

25:20

In this podcast, Amadon DellErba discusses confrontation vs. carefrontation and effective methods of conflict resolution through deep, meaningful communication. To be a righteous man or woman, we must have the courage and vulnerability to confront others, and be grateful when we receive correction. "Righteousness strikes the harmony chords of truth, and the melody vibrates throughout the cosmos, even to the recognition of the Infinite." ~ The URANTIA Book If we want to grow spiritually, we need others to confront us. We need those elders and teachers to hold us accountable for when we don’t live up to our principles and ideals. Material successful people use this technique of surrounding themselves with people who know more than them, pointing out their flaws and weaknesses. Amadon correlates this to having a physical trainer or coach who gives you feedback on your body and how we can use the same technique to promote our spiritual health and well-being. In our modern, politically correct society, no one wants to offend other people. Most want to maintain shallow, surface-deep levels of fakeness. They don’t want to get real and meet problems face to face, toe to toe. People don’t want to be confronted and they don’t want to confront others. They would rather say “I’m okay, you’re okay.” Conflict resolution is not just about resolving the outer conflict, but the conflict within your heart and mind. You have to be willing to be uncomfortable. The more you embrace conflict and deal with it, the less inner conflict you will have. Make yourself approachable to others. Ask people to confront you and give you feedback.…

In this podcast, Amadon DellErba looks at celebrity worship; the false idols that are looked up to in American 'culture.' He also looks at what constitutes a true hero, a selfless servant. Western society is addicted to social media like Twitter and TikTok. We idolize rock stars, movie stars, and sports stars... from the Kardashians to Paris Hilton. Fame and celebrity have become marks of material success. Not that we can't admire people's talents and abilities,but we should delineate between admiration and idolization. True heroes often go unnoticed. They are souls of service; people who inspire you to do better and be more fulfilled in your potential. True heroes rarely become well-know, with a handful of exceptions like Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and Gandhi. Most heroes are everyday people who are willing to serve selflessly. Nurses. Teachers. The guy who mows your lawn. People living humble lives. We should be most grateful for the heroic individuals that hold us to higher-standards and share their wisdom and truth. They are the ones who tell us what we don’t want to hear, who may even piss us off. Who provoke us to action when we are lazy. It is a spiritual principle of finding your spiritual elders; your mentors, teachers, gurus. Amadon also calls out the Instagram influencer culture of van-life, life coaches, and celebrities whose inspirational posts don’t really inspire, but rather perpetuate feelings of inadequacy.

Amadon Dellerba gets real about hypocrisy - personally, in relation to systemic hypocrisy that is often found in religious organizations. There's a difference between our inner ideals and those that we share with others. When we set our goals publicly, we create the potential to be hypocritical. We fail at these goals, but must remain vigilant in our pursuit of self-mastery. Admitting hypocrisy is a good step toward overcoming. Life becomes harder, highlighting our failures. Loved ones and spiritual elders can be our greatest allies in recognizing those weaknesses and helping us to change. It's easy to live in narcissism, self-absorption, and self-righteousness. It takes courage to escape mediocrity. "When you pursue realness, you pursue a lifestyle of realization." Jesus exemplified this.

Amadon DellErba discusses the fact that fear prevents us from becoming who we are meant to be and limits us in our growth towards self-discovery. Fear and courage are linked to accountability and responsibility. Amadon considers fear to be a ‘mind killer.’ The Master considered fear to be “ man’s chief enslaver. ” Having the courage to liberate yourself from fear is a conscious choice.
