On the Awakened Souls Podcast, we celebrate Raymond Bechard, an award-winning author, speaker, and human rights advocate. Honored with the Spiritual Life Award for his global fight against human trafficking, Raymond spoke at the Vatican Conference 2019 and is endorsed by leaders like US Senator Richard Blumenthal. His work is cited by Harvard, the University of Toledo, and numerous NGOs. For over 20 years, he has battled modern slavery in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, producing the documentary "Honor Bound" to raise awareness. His books, "The Berlin Turnpike" and "Unspeakable", expose the dark underbelly of human trafficking while inspiring hope. A bold provocateur, Bechard is credited with writing multiple pieces of successful legislation focusing on human trafficking and has driven legislation that forced social media to enhance stronger child safety measures. He also shut down illicit media ads on a Tribune Media publication after it continued to run ads selling illegal "escort" services. He is well-known for generally making people in power uncomfortable whenever he focuses his resources, writing, and public speaking on them. Listen to his harrowing stories of saving victims, from children dying of HIV to teens rescued from brothels, as he challenges an indifferent system.

Some gems from Raymond on the Podcast:
" Don't follow the crowd."
" It does not reduce us to lift other people up. It lifts us all up, it lifts the world up when we do that."
" In a nation or society where girls are educated, all boats are lifted with that rising tide of education. Statistics and studies have shown for years that if you educate girls, it makes a culture better. It makes societies better. It makes businesses better."
"What still shocks me is when you show people the crime, when you show people the human rights violation, so often, good people will do nothing and turn the other way because they are scared. That shocks me."
"People can believe some awful things above what is obviously true and dismiss the truth to propagate their own motivations, as we see in politics." "Because if we face the truth about what's happening to other people, we have to do something about it."

"Life after death fascinates us all. So what would happen if someone could 100% prove it to be a scientific fact? " is the question asked in "Revelation", a fictional book by Nick Pease.
The second season of Awakened Souls is back and this time we bring you the author, Nick Pease. Nick, was born in Windsor, England. He was able to hear and later see spirit beings as a child. Nick went on to earn a degree in philosophy and also joined a circle as a medium at the Spiritualist Association of Great Britain (SAGB) in London. He maintained an active interest in the conflicting paradigm of religion and scientific knowledge. Nick brings all this experience and knowledge to bear in ‘Revelation,’ a thrilling novel about life after death.

The Plot for "Revelation":
Life after death fascinates us all. So what would happen if someone could 100% prove it to be a scientific fact?
Set in Iraq and Washington D.C., Jack and Marty are two brilliant scientist friends who are working on a top-secret device for the CIA. Codenamed Revelation, the program fails. But later, working alone for their interest, they accidentally make the device work in a completely unexpected way, proving that life after death is an absolute fact.
But many in power see Revelation as a direct threat to their political and religious agendas and will do anything to destroy it – and its inventors! What follows is a thrilling rollercoaster of events as the plot grippingly unfolds towards its beautifully life-affirming conclusion.

They say fools rush in where angels fear to tread. Now we may draw a lot of flack from people that don't want to hear the truth. But as they say in the spirituality circles someone needs to lift the veil. Today we are looking at the disturbing and dark world behind some of the most horrific crimes in human history perpetrated by cults and fake lightworkers. Cult leaders like Charles Manson, Jim Jones, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and others have gained international notoriety for exposing the dark side of humanity.
