TalkToMeGuy: Mary Madaris, three-time Emmy award-winning television director who spent years behind the camera on shows like General Hospital and Another World, telling stories that moved millions. But somewhere along the journey, she discovered something that changed everything. The Akashic Records. That ancient energetic archive holding the blueprint of every soul's journey. And she didn't just study it, she lives it. Her new book, The Akashic Way, Living through the Lens of the Akashic Records, isn't your typical spiritual guide filled with lofty promises, unreachable wisdom. Mary's approach is refreshingly simple, deeply personal and remarkably practical. Through her own readings and intimate stories, Mary shows us the answers we're seeking out there have been inside us all along. She's helping people worldwide reconnect with their soul's truth, heal old wounds and remember why they're here in the first place.

From directing daytime drama to opening divine records from Hollywood sound sages to the realm of source itself, Mary Madaris has walked between the worlds and brought back a message for all of us. Welcome, Mary.

Mary Madeiras: Thank you so much. I'm so happy to be here. Thanks.

TalkToMeGuy: On the back cover of the Akashic Way, you say this is more than a book, it is a remembrance. Please talk to us about that.

Mary Madeiras: Sure. And well, based on the definition of the Akashic Records that they are a quantum divine field realm that has recorded every soul's experience thought action throughout time. And so there's this spiritual blueprint slash imprint of every soul based on that. What happens is when we open our records. There's no new information really what happens is we start to receive the information of ourselves in a way that maybe we have not because of blocks, you know, living in in our lifetime as its challenges.

We get kind of nudged away from our divine centers, it's possible that that happens past lives can get in our way. And due to all of those when we open our records individually, and we tap into that specific blueprint of who we are. We're given the information that we already know on some level we already know. We may not consciously know it. So that's why it's a remembering.

It's always a remembering. I, and perfect example of this is I had a client, a pretty well established psychiatrist. And she said to me, you know, you're not telling me anything I don't already know she said it kind of like, like, what is this you're not telling me anything I don't already know and I waited for the records and what they would say and they said yes.

TalkToMeGuy: And they said, yes, that's it I heard one word.

TalkToMeGuy: Yep, you're in the right place. Yes. How it took you so long to get here. We've been waiting. And was there a tipping point or an aha moment that lit up the Akashic records for you. Was there an incident was there a thing.

Mary Madeiras: It in, I like to call the life we're living third dimension. So in my 3D world, yes, there was, but it was a reigniting of something because when I was little, I was, I was born into a Roman Catholic family. And, you know, it was okay. I, I, you know, as kids, we just go along with it until we don't have to if we don't want to. And I remembered being in church when I was really little and feeling something as far as like the teachings of it there were questions I had as a child and I think a lot of kids do because they're smart.

Like, you know, a God that punishes people and things like that. I never resonated with it, but I didn't worry about it, but I felt something really profound when I was in churches and especially when I heard the music of like Gregorian chant. That time period. And so fast forward to going through all my sort of 3D stuff as we all do we we fall on our faces we party we do all kinds of stuff right. We're happy we're sad we have grief we lose people we gain people all of that life stuff. And then what happened was, I was, I was in a, and this is where the third dimension part the tipping point happened.

It wasn't like I was going through life going I'm missing something what is it. I wasn't really aware of it until I, I, until I was shown it. And it was through a psychic reading that I was having with this woman in Southern California. And I used to go to her, you know, regularly, and she said there's this dude over your shoulder and I was like, Who is he. She said, Well, he looks like a genie. And he says he oversees or guards your Akashic records and I asked her Well, what are those.

This was around 2008. And she said, I don't know, but that's what he says he does. So I looked it up and it wasn't like choir when the choirs went off and bells rang. I looked it up on the internet and I was like, huh, it was like, not a big deal, but it wasn't like, I knew I knew it.

Let me just say that in a very easy way. So I didn't even, I didn't pay attention to it. So that was sign number one. And then, and then my second sign was I was in a spiritual bookstore in Southern California that I loved the Bodhi tree.

They're no longer there. And I was in a back room by myself and there was this book that was teetering off the shelf above me like no other book I looked up. And I pulled it down, and it was how to read your Akashic records. So I just said out loud in the back room by myself.

Okay, all right, I got it. I'm going to take this home going to read it. And oh my gosh, and in it was written by a woman who I went on to study with Linda how she's written maybe about six or seven books now in the Akashic records and she has an Akashic record center in outside of Chicago where she teaches people not only how to open their records but how to teach the records. Anyway, I read the book.

I like to say I inhaled it. And in the book, she guides you to begin to open your records. So, when I did with it, it's an in, we open our records using a sacred prayer, which sort of raises our vibration to that space. And when I did I started I began to hear blocks of thought that were not mine, and I knew they weren't mine. And so I would write them down and questioned it. And so I would show my wife Christine and she would say, she'd cry, and she'd say, Oh my gosh, you're tapping into something here and I would say well, maybe it's my imagination. And she would say to me, you don't even speak this way.

So I was like, all right, still didn't do anything about it. This is why I say I'm living the Akashic way. So then on my birthday probably around that time, my very dear friend, Tammy gave me a card and she had already seen some of the things that I was hearing from the Akashic records. And when I opened the card, there was enough cash in there to start studying at the Center for Akashic Studies.

So that's what I did. And when I began, I just knew I was home. So it was sort of like a three step tipping point, we'll say, but it was a tipping point into something I already knew. That's the way to describe it. And when we discover why we're here, what our, what our chosen path has been on a very deep level. It is like coming home. That's how we know and it is easy, not hard.

TalkToMeGuy: There's a long setup to my next question, but I promise everybody we will get to where we're going. I have to step aside for a moment and I don't have many guests that I look up on IMDB. And your directing career spans news, talk shows, sports, seven top rated daytime dramas, including General Hospital and Another World, earning you three Emmy Awards and a Directors Guild of America Award. Once you opened or once you picked up that book and read it and you opened your Akashic records, did you find threads or have a hot moments in your process as you were opening your own Akashic records and wandering around? Were there threads of things that you had done as a director? Do you feel that that enhanced your, for people who don't make films, the director is like the lead dog? You have to, you have the vision of everything.

Yes, you have people around you, the cinematographers competent, the writers are competent, you know, but you are the lead dog. So you had a big vision. So I'm wondering if you had the, when you were having a hot like, oh, maybe that's why I did that or maybe that's why I thought this was something or, you know, did that have a feeling or a sense that that felt true in an visceral way almost?

Mary Madeiras: I am really glad you're asking this because quite often people will ask me, oh, you were over there and now you're over here. And it's like, no, I'm still in a place that encompasses it all. So what has happened is one informs the other informs the other informs the other. It's how it works. At least it's how there's everything we do. And this is what I've discovered in the records through my own life. Everything we have done already, if we can call it a career or places we've lived, they all 100% fit in with and play a role in our bigger path as a soul on the planet each lifetime.

And so for me, when I used to, one example is when I used to work with actors, which was my favorite part of the process. Well, first of all, the crew for me is everything. It's not the director, it's the crew. And so I worked with many directors who did not believe it was the crew.

They believed it was themselves. And that was, you know, because I was also an assistant, I worked my way up through the industry. So I was also an assistant director sitting next to directors helping them shine. And so I saw how they were treating people. I never felt like treating people that way. I always felt like we are all the same. And I always was like mirroring to people, their greatest assets, I guess, and I did this with actors.

It just was organic. I would see them. So you see, I was kind of accessing that realm already and didn't realize it. I think it was fueling me in a way in my work.

I just didn't know what to call it. So, and to this day, actors will say, we want to work with Mary. Well, it was because I gave them, I mirrored to them, the room and space of themselves as a, as a craft in the craft. And that, and so they would, they would do their best work. Same thing with the crew. I just gave them the permission to be the best they could. And so the result was that the shows always came out really well.

So there was that. The other part to this is an interesting thing that happened when I was, I think you're going to enjoy this. One day when I was in my own records and listening and asking my own questions. I think it's in my book somewhere, but the records said, Mary, your records show you as a writer. And I disagreed with my own records, which I think is so funny. I said, I wrote back, you know, on my computer and I'm like, no, I'm not, I'm a director. And the records don't say no. I mean, they don't tell us what to do.

Otherwise, I mean, that's not divine essence. But we just kept saying, well, there's an imprint here that shows you as a writer. And when you begin writing, you will see how easy it is.

And we will be next to you every step of the way it will be so easy that you'll doubt it probably. So I that so that one I just sort of, I didn't forget about it, but I didn't worry about it. It didn't feel right, but it didn't feel wrong. So I kind of went back into my life. And I like to describe this as I just sort of opened my hands and surrendered to whatever that meant without my knowing what it meant.

As soon as I surrendered to, well, it doesn't matter which way it goes. I got a phone call seriously to write a screenplay to be paid to write a screenplay. Wow. And then I thought to myself, well, how am I going to do this?

I don't even know how to do that. And then I remembered that I had taken, I think four times on the East and West Coast, these screenwriting seminars with one of the biggest screenwriter guys, Robert McKee. And I mean, he's got like Oscar winners that have studied with him. I was taking those classes, I thought to be a better director. I remember going to them, because producers would be in the classes directors, all sorts of people, not just writers, because he teaches about story and story encompasses so much so there I so when I sat that down and went I don't know how to write a screenplay. And I looked up on my shelf and there was Robert McKee's book story. And I remembered all the workshops I went to and I thought, Oh my gosh, I was prepaving this. My own soul was guiding me, and I didn't even consciously realize it. So that's I mean and this great play came out really well it's, you know, it's in the hands actually right now of a distribution company after four years.

It does take long sometimes. But there you have it so my experience in in television. And in in, I call it the trenches, especially news that's working in the trenches. It informs me today I have I have a resilience that I would not have had I not done live news in New York. Nothing, not too much scares me in terms of challenges. If I hadn't worked in those arenas, I would be scared of everything, especially today. But I'm not.

So it's like brand on will deal with it. I also got to exercise what it's like to be kind while you're working in madness. And because that's what I brought to it, because that's who I always was, even as a little girl. I was really kind. And I was nice. And my family used to make fun of me. And they used to say you're too nice. Imagine being made fun of for that.

You think everyone's nice. And I used to say, you know, I had like a bull, I had three brothers, a bully father, a bully brother. You know, I had all of that.

And I just like nothing scares me. I thank them in my book because that's where I gained. Well, I gained resilience from my family and from working in those arenas in television.

I also know what it's like. I can I have a radar for when organizations are taking advantage of people because I was working at ABC when Michael Eisner fired 2000 people who had been working loyally for ABC for years. And they had mortgages and children in colleges and their benefits and they were just dropped. And so I was in all of that. I was in the arena of pay disparity because I was the second woman to ever direct new network news in New York.

And so I was being paid way less than the men down the street at the other networks directing the same kinds of shows. So I have been through that and look at our world right now we have a lot of division we have a lot of confusion a lot of fear. And so I'm right where I need to be and I believe that's part of my design of why I'm here. And so it feeds in they work together very well. And and I'm still, you know, I still have projects that I'm attached to.

And some of them are directing projects. And I, you know, and what happens is when I'm writing my work in the Akashic records and with the divine field itself really informs my work as a storyteller in a much more profound way than it would have had I not been working in the records.

TalkToMeGuy: So, it feels like you went from as we were talking backstage I'm a visual person. It feels like you went from black and white to the technicolor. Yeah, in the sense of in the sense of you know once you started wandering around in the Akashic field. It feels like it blossomed you to like oh wow there's really more. And it went from that scene in the movie there's always some movie where they do it they go from black and white to color.

Mary Madeiras: I think the Wizard of Oz does that.

TalkToMeGuy: Yes it does that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I was just seeing. And so that's how it feels to me like you just went wow and it allowed you to have so much more like you have great backup.

Mary Madeiras: I don't think they go ahead. Oh, I'm sorry. Go ahead. The other thing that happens is besides the color I love that image. Yes. Yes. Yes. That is what it feels like. Besides that. Let me add to it. Not besides it. Add to what you said on top of the wow is guess what that wow is it's who you already are.

Whoa, that's huge. So the wow is not something outside of me that I'm kind of following this little path like the Wizard of Oz going skipping down the path. I am the path.

Yeah. And so what we get when we're in that divine field well the divine field exists everywhere but at least for the records we feel it more heightened. I'll say the reality of as the records refer to the all the business of everything the source the creator the essence of everything exists in this field and in everything it's in the planet itself and everything on the planet. But when you're in it yourself and you're in your own records, you're being given back that not from some bearded man in the clouds but you're being given it from the essence of who you are already it is a mirror image, and you can feel it it's palpable you can feel this love that is and and and the love is not from something outside of you it's from you to you. So the color happens and then the color smiles at you and says, guess what, I am you and you and you are me. It's so powerful.

TalkToMeGuy: I think it feels the same as it does when in. I've been at a lot of meditational groups and just all around. And in times of friend of mine would drag me only because I'm not big on crowds to an event with Amici, a great master. And you'd stand in line and everybody sort of be humbly or chatty in line, and then you'd get you basically get to the point of where you're facing her and she just is radiating just literally like glowing in the room it's always it was always an amazing thing. And she would what I would say, point you on the head with a peacock feather. And I think that that was that that exactly what you're talking about is like trying to blink open the love. Yes.

Mary Madeiras: That we already are.

TalkToMeGuy: Yes. Yeah, yeah. Like I'm big on kindness. I think that kindness is an under under utilized. It's not hard to do. It doesn't cost you anything. And if we were just in spite of the times that we are in now, if we were all just kind. Yep. What a difference.

Mary Madeiras: That is an amazing idea. I do not agree with you more. It's my mantra. Well, if a word can be a mantra, but kindness. I mean, if I ever respond to anything on Facebook since there's so much swirling around.

That's what I do. People are at each other. And I just will jump in and I'll go, can we just be kind. Let's just be kind. It's so easy. I think it's our human nature. It's free. And I think it's our human nature. I really do. Yeah.

TalkToMeGuy: Yeah. Yeah. And I can't remember by now it's a blur for me because I read and hear a lot somewhere I heard or read you say that the Cushik records are always from a now perspective. Mm hmm. What?

Mary Madeiras: Well, because so now we're in quantum land, right? Right. So and what I love is that in science is now has been measuring quantum. We now knew we now knows.

I say I'm happy about science because so many people want to know, well, what is it? What is it? Where is it?

How can I see it? And in the quantum in quantum. Ness, there is no time. Everything and energy doesn't have a beginning middle and end. It just is and is and is.

It just floats about and it reforms itself like it's it just I met always imagine like I'm visual too by the way, like a snake just snaking around right. And so the records will always meet us up with where we are in the now. And then now is a well Eckhart Tolle address this. No, not a third.

Sorry. It was well, yes, in his in his books, but Abraham Hicks talks about this that there's there's the now. And then in a minute, it's a now and that and that's now. And tomorrow is the now and that'll be now and that'll be and now and now and now.

So there's always now. And we, as human beings, I think are just designed, at least our brains brains are to grasp and create this past present and future, this linear version of everything. There are theories out there right now that are, you know, kind of bouncing around about the fact that everything exists still in the now so, you know, events in history are still the exist as a parallel timeline.

I hate to use our time but a parallel essence that still exists that we can just step into. There's a lot being discussed about this so this is me the records are not like etching this in stone and saying that's it. But the records do say is quantum itself and quantum divine always meets us where we are. And there is no such thing as time. There's only now.

So the proof of this is and it would be in anyone who read some of these downloads that are in the book. When I reread my records used to say to me, gosh years ago when I started this, Mary when you reread any of your these readings. They will not only feel new that you won't even remember them the way they first came through because they will have changed.

They literally will have changed. Literally, they said, well, I've tested that I've had other people write back to me and say I just listened back to my reading, or I just read what you wrote whatever and they'll say, I can't believe it it's as if I it's like me, it's the reading right now. And I have an an an attribute an example I think of that in history in our now history I should say is if you think about like sacred tones that we know are sacred. Okay, like the scrolls, ancient scrolls or I guess maybe the Bible and other sacred texts that go back really far away far far. When you hold them, you can feel something, or if you go into an ancient cave. That's 1000s of years old the multi caves I hear people are transformed they feel something there's something going on there.

What is that. It's whatever was originally there is still there maybe. And it's just there and then now, because energy never dies, and that science to we know that. So that's kind of dancing around the word now, but that's why the record say that when the record said that I resonated with it, without having to make my mind figure it out.

That's the other thing. If we're going to try and make our conscious mind the conscious part of my mind try and figure this out. It's going to we're going to we're going to get a headache.

It's going to be hard. Because, you know, there are some and it's not that it's a mystery because a mystery is something that cannot be solved. This is all it does exist. And it's, and it's, it's measurable. Look at what you're talking about kindness kindness is an essence and energy. It has an energy to it you could feel it. It's palpable. But can we grab it in the air. No, not really. Can you take a photograph of kindness, not kindness and action, kindness itself as an essence. There's a good one.

TalkToMeGuy: That's a good one. That's a challenge.

Mary Madeiras: I know you're going to you're going to go do it.

TalkToMeGuy: I'm going to do that. Your next show. Yeah, that's great. Well, I've always had a sense that time is really just an agreement. And, and we needed that agreement to be able to like, how could I meet you at the tree, you know, at two o'clock if I didn't know what that was.

Right. And perhaps in the day of, you know, when we lived in caves and basically our lives consist of running out, killing something and bringing it back to the clan. Or and trying not to get eaten along the way. The time was always like, where's Bob? Oh, he left two days ago to go get something to kill and maybe he's not coming back. We don't know. We had to have some kind of agreement of like, Oh, when did Bob die? Or maybe Bob, you know, like marks on the walls, like we always find writings on the walls and how much of that is just an attempt to keep some sort of record. And it sure makes it hard to keep records without sort of some kind of time reference, whether it be the cycle of the sun or the cycle of the moon or, you know, pick a planet that somebody could see and track.

That's how we, we did a lot of, you know, I think in ancient times, it was like, what did it where was the sun in the sky when this happened or where was the moon when this happened?

Mary Madeiras: Well, and what I, what I actually get, that's, you know, very interesting. I love, I love talking about this stuff. What I've gotten from, you know, divine, I'll say, is this idea that going as far back as we can think, we were communicating telepathically.

This is what I've been shown. So if we and, and in fact, well, I believe that to be true. So, you know, again, I can just tell when it's, I can feel when something is right. I just can feel it.

Sometimes I get chills. So it's like spirit, you know, hitting me over the head in case I decided to doubt something. But anyway, if we were communicating telepathically, then we would just telepathically know to meet up with someone at that tree. And so with that person, they would get it. So there wouldn't be need to discuss a time.

It just would happen. It's a little trippy, but I can see when I was shown that I was like, yeah, that makes sense. And we weren't eating each other either. Those are the words they use. Yeah, I think that's even in the Bible. I think it's in Genesis. I never really read the Bible, but I know parts of it. But in Genesis, that I think God says, live off the nuts and fruits of the planet of the earth, which is another way of saying not eating each other. Yeah.

The flesh of each other, whatever, you know, we know what that means. And, and, and that's what I've been shown through the records, the same thing. Like, sometimes the records will say things and I don't know the truth, not the truth of them. But I'm not familiar with the information.

But then I'll go look it up and it'll be like, wow, it's there. So it's a, it's an interesting thing about telepathically communicating because that's where we're, that's where we're at now. I mean, look at remote viewing, which the government's been using since the 50s, where you're focusing.

I mean, remote viewing, we would spy on the Russians. Just sitting in one space and going into some state to see what exists somewhere else. That's kind of the same energy. Yeah.

TalkToMeGuy: There's a wonderful film. Unfortunately, I cannot find it because I cannot ever remember the name, the title of it. And it was an old black and white. And the segment that I'm thinking of is that they, I forget whose side somebody, you know, Russia against America, somebody I'm making that part up. And at some point they are hiding somebody in a building in the middle of, you know, someplace, a desert. And in the corners of the room, I don't think it was a Rod Serling thing, but as I describe it in my mind, it looks like a Rod Serling piece.

And in the corners of all the buildings, and as you're walking down a hall, there are men standing in the corners. And what those, and eventually, cinematically, what we realize is those were psychics creating a blank. So that's how they were hiding this person. They were actually had psychics who were creating a field of, you can't see this.

Mary Madeiras: Yeah, a cloak. And that has always stuck in my craw in the, in a best of ways. That, you know, you could alter a field by just, you don't need weapons, you don't need big things, you don't need satellites that you just have a group of psychics who all agree, this is what we're doing and the person is invisible and not able to be found. Because back then, they would have had remote viewers.

I have, I'll jump quickly to it and I'll say this as fast as I can. I have a friend who went through the Vietnam War, and he was, he was raised in a Slavic family with his grandmother, would take him to the farmer's market and she would douse for fruit. So she'd pick out a pendulum and pick the right piece of fruit. So he grew up in the world of dousing is totally unacceptable practice. So, you know, fast forward to years later, he's volunteered to go into the war, not because he wanted to be there because he felt it's something he should do. And at some point, he stepped in, he was walking in his Akashic field, I feel that he was asked to, you know, they said, we have a group of, you know, we're going to try doing some dousing work.

And we were looking for volunteers. He was like, oh yeah, I can do that. So John spent the Vietnam War in a room in a darkened room, plastic, cinematically darkened room, and with a map and a dousing one finding land mines. And he was never wrong. Oh, what a great story.

Mary Madeiras: So that needs to be a film.

TalkToMeGuy: Yeah. Yeah, see.

Mary Madeiras: Absolutely. What an interesting story. I just got chill.

TalkToMeGuy: Yeah, yeah. I always get a chill when I talk about that. And I've spent a lot of time with John and he's like that. He's a guy who when he chooses to go invisible, he's very hard to find in a crowd. And it's not a kid. He hasn't done anything bad. He's not trying to hide anybody. He's just kind of a mystic who's like, not a mystic.

Mary Madeiras: Harry Potter. Yeah, well, guess, I guess we can ask which came first? Was Harry Potter and Essence floating around the universe of reality and it came in through J.K. Rowling?

Yes, I think so. Or when you look at and see those, those old movies, which I watch all the time, or the Rod Serling's I grew up with the Twilight Zone. It's like, were those just random ideas that these men and women were coming up with? I don't think so. I really don't. I think they were actually tapping into a field where the reality of those ideas existed. And also, have you ever heard of the Montauk Project or the Philadelphia Project?

TalkToMeGuy: Yes, I can't pull up what it is, but I recognize the name.

Mary Madeiras: Yeah, that was an experiment that was done again, maybe the 50s. And I don't know if it began in New York Harbor, but they had a ship with a crew on it. And they were raised, they had frequency generators, I guess. And it was all about frequency. They raised the frequency so high that the ship disappeared. And it reappeared in like another harbor, Philadelphia Harbor, I think. So, yeah, sorry.

So what was that? And those people that were on the ship apparently traveled and came back, they traveled and came back to tell where they were. They went to, few of them went to the future. And that was in another book. But of course, that got shot down. Yeah.

TalkToMeGuy: Be a great movie. And so the Akashic record is completely malleable in that it, you and I will easily agree, it just is. It's always transforming, but it contains everything.

Mary Madeiras: Okay, so let's talk about that for a second. So our own journey, the idea being where one soul and we incarnate and reincarnate, reincarnate that same soul through lifetime, if we choose to come back, we have the choice. And the part of our records, there is a part of our records that's fixed. And that part is our soul's choice that we made. So, and I like to describe the choices that we make, these particular choices as overarching themes. So for example, a soul might say, I am coming into this lifetime to feed into and represent and learn about self-love.

They're that. The soul doesn't go, I'm coming into a creepy family to be beat up or raped. No, soul doesn't do that. But what happens is that the events of our lives all feed into that one fixed choice. I like to emphasize choice. There's not some agreement we're making and we have to stick by it. It's a choice that feels good when we're, I'm going to say feels good, but when we're non-physical and we're on the other side thinking about whatever, how we're coming in, it is a choice that we feel beautiful about.

It's just not something that's being forced on us. And so that part is fixed. How we express our journey to that is, is what is moving and, and can shift and change because we have the choices of what choices we make. They always guide back to that, by the way. They will always go towards, it's like going towards your own light, towards that soul, that, that choice that we made. Even if somebody's a murderer, whatever their overarching theme was that they chose to come in on this planet as when we look in their records, I can't say right now because I'm not in somebody, a murderer's records right now, but if we look into their records, they will discover and it will be reaffirmed that they had a journey and it's part of their journey. And that's a hard one for people to grasp.

For example, I have actually a great example that the records speak about, which is when the Twin Towers, 9-11, when they came down. So all of those thousands of souls, we'll say, did they all choose this? Well, from the perspective of the records, they didn't choose to wake up, go into a building and have a plane hit the building and them to go to their death.

It's not like that. However, that event, as seen through the Akashic records, was one of the biggest expressions of global love because the whole planet came together, if not for seconds, way longer than that, when those two towers came down. So those souls, most likely, were here to participate in a grand design of love. That's how it was. Wow. Yeah, it's pretty profound. When I first heard that from the records, I just was like, I couldn't even write. I was just like, well, and I think that if we look through history, some of us view history as that was awful, what happened and those people and how they died and whatever, it's like if we look at them through the lens of the records, it's not justifying pain, it's not justifying trauma.

The records are clear about that. But we can understand the bigger picture of how these events throughout the history of the planet play into the specific people who were participating in them in some way, we can see the meaning, the meaning of them. And the other one day I asked through all of this, it was years into this, and I was like, why are we here?

Why do we choose to be here? And the answer was so beautiful. It was, all of humanity is here to feedback into source itself, for sources expansion, into infinity. So we're all here to do that. That's why that idea that we're all the same, right?

We're all the same. We all have come here to ultimately the bigger picture overview, to feed, participate, co-create right back into source itself for its expansion, source meaning love, right? That's pretty profound.

TalkToMeGuy: That's pretty profound. Yeah. That's around, this is a, I love it when the guest reads my show notes. That leads right, we were, you've already answered my question, I didn't even ask it, because I was going to ask about in the book you talk about, we can mine the energy of trauma, separate that from the event itself. And that's what you're talking about, we're actually mining the energy of trauma. We think of trauma as, oh my god. The event.

The event. And I think there's I think there's astonishment, which is not trauma, but it's in the same energetically to me, it feels like it's the same kind of like, oh my god, but in an amazing way. So it's just how we perceive that event, whether it's a trauma or like, oh my god, or an aha, or a thing.

Mary Madeiras: Perceptions are the culprit of a lot of unhappiness. And you know, the obvious ones that we see like racism and things like that, those are perceptions, but then there are other perceptions. And then there's belief systems, but you know, it's our perception of trauma, exactly that. And it holds us in the event itself. Now there's tons of therapies out there. I mean, there's gestalt therapy and Freudian and of course, oh my gosh, my favorite.

I forgot his name now. But no one's really spoken about mining it, not picking at it, not looking at it and holding, you know, let's go back to when you were a child and this happened and that happened. The records, they don't even encourage that in people's readings. Sometimes people will say, well, you want me to talk about it. And the message I hear is no, no, no, no, no, but let's look at what it felt like. What was the energy like when your father shut you down, or you were told to shut up or, you know, whatever the things were. And if we can separate out the event, not to diminish, and the record say this, not invalidating any pain, your perceived pain that you went through, but if we can separate out the energy because energy is not black or white or positive or negative, although I know science says it is, but it's just energy.

It just, it has no judgment. So the energy is just there, but it might be a little more heightened, right? And if there's a lot of hatred when we're little, a lot of it towards us, there's going to be a heightened energy, and it probably will feel like being shut down, right? That's an energy.

But if we take that energy, just the energy of that, which is very powerful, and like a faucet turn it on through the light that we are, we become more powerful as light. I once had a client who shared, he's now a shaman, and he shared that there was a time in his life, and he I think had shame about it and wanted to sort of just put it behind him. He had a time in his life where he hated everybody. He said, I was pissed at homeless people.

I would yell at people on the street and curse and this and that. And the records just asked him, what was, we had a nickname for him, which I won't say here, but what was, not a bad word either, but it was very profound words. And it was, well, what did he feel like? And he said, like, effing powerful.

And so the records said, what if you were to literally open up the faucet channel that energy right through Shaman you, and he just sat back in his chair and he went, whoa, there's, there's mining the energy of something that we would think is bad. And maybe it felt bad, but it's, if we can just separate out from it, we don't want to get rid of those experiences. They inform who we are, they're part of who we are, all of them.

And I think traditional therapies, at least what I remember growing up, it was all about getting rid of that, processing it, it has to go away. And it's like, no, the records go, no, why would you want to chop off something that's part of you? But why not use it, look at it like a Rubik's Cube in the, through the lens, that's why I call it, through looking through the lens of the Akashic records, which is just looking through a divine lens. I mean, the records are a tool. And so when we do that, it's so empowering.

And I've done that in my own life, the things that, you know, I felt not good about what I had done or what I went through when I was little, things that, you know, I had a rough family. And we can wear it the way it was, or we can look at it and go, huh, what's the energy of it? And it's powerful. In the Akashic way.

TalkToMeGuy: So now I'll, now I'll ask the question that you just answered. I love this, Katens. In the Akashic way, you say, nothing in our past is wasted. I think that's an amazing concept, considering how many people I know who want to go and sit in therapy and talk about it over and over and over, which I've always resisted. I've done some therapy, because I've had some incidences and injuries in my life that required something. But I ended up doing more EMDR work because it cleared the charge.

That's more of a Scientology term, but I will even use their name term, but it reduced the charge on the incident for me. So it was not wasted. The trauma that did happen to my body was not a wasted event. And people are always amazed, like, how did you even do that? Like, I don't know. But I just gave it up.

Mary Madeiras: Well, and then we can add to it applying that charge to the being, the light beings that we all are. So it's like another tweak, a very powerful one. But it can only happen if we're able to see those events. Um, the victimhood has to settle down. I'll say settle down. If there's victimhood there, which is of the ego, then we can't get there. You can't separate out from, look what happened to me. But what's interesting is I've never had any contributing with anyone with whom that hasn't happened.

That has never happened where they go, they can't separate out, even if they're not consciously saying it in the reading, something ships. That's another element to this that, you know, I don't often talk about, but there's another, there's another power here. Well, no, it's the power. And the power is really, really evidenced when it's like white washing over myself and a client during a session.

But my consciousness is not aware of it. But it's just happening. We could be talking about, you know, sticks or a toilet bowl, seriously. And there all of a sudden something else happens, something happens. And this, I believe, is evidence of, I don't mean to say proof, although I've had my doubts throughout the years as we all do, not now. It's, it's proof that there is this source that is not running everything, but participating and co-creating with us at such a high vibrational level. It's meeting us up with the higher vibrational level of each one of us. And that's why we, we consciously go, Whoa, what just happened? Because our conscious is going, is trying to read it on another level, but our being knows differently.

And so that's what happens. And the other thing that's very interesting is people don't, I don't reach out and tell people, I do readings, whatever. I don't ever do that. What happens is people either see the reading, see the record, see the customer, or they see my name somewhere, or they'll hear me on a podcast like this, or, you know, an interview like this. And then something triggers for them.

And then they'll contact me. So people come to their records. It's never been anything but that people are drawn to their own records, including me. Obviously, my being brought me to my Akashic records. That's how it started. Was that your next question?

TalkToMeGuy: Kind of. But the question that comes to me is why, this is such a philosophical question. Why do we give so much power to trauma? And we don't seem to give as much power to love or kindness. Well, I mean, I understand the, the why, I understand the why being a sack of water walking around this planet. But in the quantum field, there still seems like there's more energy to trauma. Is that because we're focused on it and we're talking about it so much, whereas the love and the kindness we don't focus on as much?

Mary Madeiras: Well, my understanding is that, first of all, in the quantum field, there is no trauma in the quantum field. No, there doesn't exist. There may be an imprint of a soul because it records the soul's actions, experiences, thoughts.

It's not, it's trauma in somebody's records. I will be guided to ask them about something about when they were little, or I will see them moving about in another lifetime. Maybe, you know, and maybe it doesn't look great, you know, they're being chained up or something. But it's not recorded as trauma. The answer, though, to the first part of your question is, why do people seem to be holding onto it? It's ego. There are two chapters that are quite tricky, not tricky.

They're twisty. When the records talk about ego, well, and they refer to Eckhart Tolle a lot as an ascended master among us because he calls the ego a monster and he giggles about it, it's tricky. Not healthy ego. You know, there's the part of us that, you know, we brush our teeth, we take care of ourselves, things like that, and move about life. But the part of the ego, this is what it is. So what happens, here's my understanding about how this ego meant and where it started, but let's talk about how it operates right now. So the ego fears its demise.

It's afraid that it will be non-existent. So the way that the ego grows, let's talk about the collected ego, which Eckhart refers to and the records affirm this, is what happens is when we take action that is not simply an action that is not divine of divine. So if we don't know we're divine, we don't know we're light, we don't know we're good, if we don't know we really are kind to begin with, we don't know all that, we don't know we are love, then we're going to take actions in our lives that are not of that.

And those, and we might see it as somebody shooting someone, you know, all the things that we see that are just awful. Well, those people that are called the perpetrators, the ones that are carrying out those non-love actions, they don't know their love, they just don't know it. And so as those actions take place, they feed into, they collect as energy, those unlove, I'll call them unlove actions. And so they collect, they collect, and the image I have been shown to the records by the records is the image of a balloon. And it's just that the non-love energy just feeds into this balloon that keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. Now when it pops, we could talk about what why it would, but when it pops, we see there was really nothing in it.

So the records actually say that that ego doesn't really exist. It became formed, or forms itself from the energy of unlove, non-love, not knowing we are love. So there's why, if you look at all of, you know, when you see people doing horrible things to each other, or to animals, to other, to the planet, if we were to take each one of those people and just sit them down and probably open their records, I would say, and look at them from that divine perspective, they would probably wind up sobbing on the floor when they would meet up with the divine them, because it would be something that was deep inside of them that they just didn't know. So that's why we have this out-of-balance planet right now.

And I think you'll like this image. I was shown a band, like a gray band, pulsing band around the planet, like above, above close to the planet, but if we were to stand back and look at the earth, as the earth round, there's this gray, sort of not very thick pulsing essence or something. That's the collective ego. And every time anyone around the planet engages in love and action, or kindness, all of that, any evidence of love and action, it punches a hole through the collective ego. Like it just shoots up.

If I had an animation, if I did an animation, it would be just coming from the planet, whatever, wherever on the planet, doesn't matter what country, and an act of love. And it would just like beam up and punch a hole through that ego, collective ego conscious somewhere in that band. So more of us doing that is going to dissipate it, dissipate it, dissipate it. So that's its ego. And the ego began, they show me with Narcissus seeing his own image in the water and seeing like, wait, who's that? And then it became, oh, there's a you and a, there's a me and a me. A me and a me, there's two of me, duality, uh-oh. And that started, that's where the trouble started is what I get. Anyway, that's what I hear from the records. Um, it kind of makes sense.

TalkToMeGuy: So I like the idea of being part of a meditation group that works on busting up that ego band. Yes.

Mary Madeiras: And meditation groups do that every time we do that. Any, any focus on love, focus on, you know, all the business of everything, focus on source, or literally taking action for that. When people like band together and do amazing things, when people post, there's some wonderful Facebook groups, um, that are just stories of people doing these things, like, like a judge, there was just a recent one. And some people might say, well, that's AI.

Well, I don't care if it's AI. It was a story. And it, it emitted such love that people were like joining in with comments. So what is that doing? It's sending out an energy. That's going to do that thing that we're talking about.

It's just going to beam up and punch a little, even if it's a tiny hole, if enough of them punch through that collective ego conscious, then, then it's, it will dissipate and it will lose its power. They call it, the records refer to it as like an ego soup, but this judge, such a beautiful story. And he looked like a grumpy old, like white guy judge. And I'm saying white guy because the kid that was in the, in his courtroom was, um, and he was an orphan and he was a young teen and he was in trouble for something. And I think he was a repeat offender. And there's a photo on, on the internet of the judge hugging him in tears. Not only did the judge like let him go, he adopted him.

And it was like, who does that? See, these actions are already, they're happening all over the place. It's just that that ego has its hold, that tricky eco monster, and it's in the systems. It's in our media systems. It's in, you know, it's all about doom and gloom and trauma.

And this one's bad and this one's doing bad things. And those acts of love and kindness are not being seen enough right now. So we just have to keep, it's great we have social media, but I think the best thing we could be doing is expressing that love and action as much as we can. Plus it feels good when we do it. So we benefit from it as well. Yes.

TalkToMeGuy: And we're moving, I'm, how did this happen? The Akashic Field got really tight here. You're hearing a 9-11 call for light warriors. More so than ever. What does being a light warrior actually mean for someone navigating 2025?

Mary Madeiras: What it means is first, getting into a state of our own balance first, we have to be balanced. But I, you know, I'm shown an image of, I guess, Archangel is always, Archangel Michael's frequently been seen with a golden sword. And I remember asking one day, why doesn't Archangel even need a sword?

But Archangel Michael has a golden sword. I think of the lightsabers from the Star Wars movies. It's this energy where, okay, we could do several things with what's going on around us right now. We could just sit in a corner and not do anything and go, gee, that's bad. We can yell and scream at it and get mad at it, which is just going to give it more energy, whatever the thing is that's harming people. Or what we can do is we can, in our, first we have to come from our heart and go, how do we, what do we do with this? And being a warrior means that we have the courage to recognize it, not fight against it, but create the new path around it. Now that takes a lot of courage.

Dr. Booslifton talks about this. So it's, it's, there are paths. I'd have to give an example. Well, war is not a good one right now because there's so many big systems involved in it. But if we take a system that's not working, education, the education system is being hacked at right now in many ways. So if there's, there are people out there, somebody may, first of all, you say, I want to make a difference. I want to create the way around this. And so the intention is first, then we can be in meditation about it, just to have the intention. Ideas will come in, but you have to have the courage to stand up and create that new thing.

This is one example. But it's not about picking up a sword and fighting against the thing, because that will just keep it going and it'll, it'll ramp it up. There's a saying that when the light gets lighter, the dark gets darker.

Well, that's what'll happen. But what we can do is we can slice through with our light, because when we're creating a path, we're slicing through stuff, we're saying that doesn't work, and we're going whack, and we're going, but this does, but this does, but this does, and then people will join that because they're going to know that the light feels better than that other garbage. So it takes courage to do that. And it takes, we have to keep our eye on what's happening, though we can't ignore it. And we have to be able to have the courage to say that's not okay.

TalkToMeGuy: This next question is going to take us a couple minutes over, but I can't help it. I have to. I can't, again, I can't remember if I read or heard you say this. The records say we're heading toward unity consciousness, whether we like it or not. For listeners feeling the chaos right now, what evidence are you seeing that this shift is happening?

Mary Madeiras: Well, because there's so much evidence, at least being shown to us, what's being shown to us is a lot of chaos. That's not, I'm not saying that there isn't chaos and craziness and fear and all of that, but there's also so much love going on. There's a lot of love happening in action. So as the last part of that question again, oops, they scrolled away.

TalkToMeGuy: For listeners feeling the chaos right now, what evidence are you seeing that this shift is happening?

Mary Madeiras: No matter what, yeah. There are, because there, if we were to look, first of all, if you want to look for the evidence, you'll find it. I have to say that, that sounds kind of corny, like a cop out, but you can find it. If you care about the planet, for example, that we're messing up and you care so much, if you look, pick it, you choose, Andrew Harvey speaks to this, choose the thing that you're most passionate about that is chaotic, because there are many forms of the chaos that are happening right now. They're in different systems, they're in different places, different groups. And so if you identify in your heart, like what Andrew Harvey says is, identify what breaks your heart the most, because otherwise we're going to look at the whole thing and go, there's no evidence. But then if you choose, let's say it's animal torture and massacring and stuff, animal rights, whatever, and if that is what it is, when you begin to look into that, you will see all kinds of people in groups and conscious people who are paving a new way out of that chaotic state. So if you want to see the evidence, if you look at the entire thing and back up and look at it all, you're not going to see the evidence.

And I think that's what the records are talking about. There's evidence all over the place, but we're being conned into thinking there isn't any and all that's here is this chaos. But it's couldn't be farther from the truth. There actually is a lot of love that is happening and going on right now. But we have to ask for it to be shown to us and it will be.

TalkToMeGuy: Well, I think back to a visual, I think that any time we can, it's really a brilliant thing to be in nature. Yep. Because nature is the shining example of, look, we're all cooperating here. This is the most symbiotic relationship you'll ever see. Go just sit in nature in the redwood trees if possible.

Mary Madeiras: That is one of the main, that's the number one way that the records say to meet up with the divine aspect of ourselves. If we have no trees around us, but there's some little piece of grass coming out of the concrete, I mean that just that you look at that blade of grass and when you are in awe of that, like, how did it do it? Look at it, it's living, look at it, touch it, feel it. The fact that we will recognize it means it's recognizing us and divinity, I'm so glad you said this, divinity exists in everything that is appearing on our planet coming out of Gaia herself. Everything is a reflection of the divine power and essence of God itself, God's source. And so when we're recognizing it, it's because it's recognizing us and that's why it feels so good to be in nature.

TalkToMeGuy: Nature's cool. It's very cool, isn't it? And truly, amazingly, whether it's from the fungus or the just the whole, the whole system that nature is, the whole, it's such a shiny example of yes, something dies in nature, an eagle kills a bird, I'm making it up. And some of that bird parts eventually ends up in the forest floor, the forest floor then assimilates that and turns it into micronutrients for the things that are growing in the forest. Nothing goes to waste, everything's acknowledged. If a tree loses a limb, it's like, I'm sorry, I lost that limb, I'll have another.

Mary Madeiras: And what's going on underneath the ground among the trees is a beautiful documentary on that. And it's with it's, they feature the man who wrote the hidden, the secret life of trees, hidden life of trees. Oh, yes. But what the alchemy that's happening with trees that are not of the same, what's genus?

No, what's the word? It's not the same kind of tree, they could be right next to each other. But they will, yes, species, they will feed each other.

And when one is hurt, even though it's not of the same species, the tree collected, the collective of the trees, they all kind of jump in and they send nutrients through the earth under the earth to support these trees. Like that is a total example of what we as a humanity are meant to be doing, are here, are designed for, I should say. We're designed for that, right? That we like nature is showing us every day how to live.

TalkToMeGuy: If we could just be more like fungus. Surely, you know, the micro, the kind of communication system that fungi have is phenomenal and how they work and cooperate with each other is amazing. It is amazing.

Mary Madeiras: It's like no logic to it. Yeah, that's my favorite part of it.

TalkToMeGuy: Yeah, yeah, there's nobody in charge. There's nobody like with a hard hat and the whistle going over here. Right. Okay, we could do this. We could do this all day, people.

Speaker 1: Yes, I love chatting with you. That was really great. I knew it was going to be, you know, really good. And where would you like listeners to find the Akashic Way living through the lens of Akashic Records? And where can they find out more about you and working with you?

Mary Madeiras: Oh, okay. So easy. The Akashic Way is on Amazon right now because it just launched, I think, two weeks ago. So it's on Amazon for now and it's there's a Kindle version as well there. And my website, you can go there and I, I outlined the readings and there's a chapter from the book that you can see. The website is theakashicway.com. Very easy. Wonderful. We'll meet on the other side. Let's meet on the other side of this life.

TalkToMeGuy: Yes, that too. That would be great. Yes. Yeah, I'm always happy to talk about the Akashic Field. I think it's, and use nature as a mirror because nature is so giving and so willing to, if we could just go talk with the trees. And I mean, you know, really just be in nature. I don't mean you have to get too weird and hug a tree, but if you want to do it when nobody's looking, it's okay.

Mary Madeiras: Yes, yes, and yes.

TalkToMeGuy: All right, Mary, that was just wonderful. Thank you so much.

Mary Madeiras: Thank you too, Richard. Thank you.

TalkToMeGuy: And everybody have a great rest of the week and we'll see you next week.

TalkToMeGuy: Bye-bye.
