hello everybody today we have philippe who is a shaman that actually traveled north america for 10 years developing his dramatic abilities however due to life having kids he had to settle down and choose new york where he works as an expert on selling crystals he also provides spiritual metaphysics sessions show metic sessions astrology and also teaches how people can become psychic and develop their spiritual self as well so thank you philippe for joining us today from your beautiful crystal shop called astral west in new york city manhattan how are you i’m wonderful thanks for having me it’s an honor to sit here with you and uh and jive so i always ask everyone three questions before we start so completely random question same that i asked everyone do you believe in fallen angels uh absolutely sure okay and what is your favorite astro projection technique is learning how to put myself into a trance it’s a part of shamanic work is learning how to put yourself into an altered state of consciousness and then simply just saying i’m going to this spot that i want to go you know it’s something that i teach in psychic development classes is the simplicity you know of the being able to access those powers it’s really you know we mostly get in our own way so you just got to get out of your own way and erase disbelief people are always asking but how how did you go and how did you know i didn’t i just said i want to go to this place yeah and so so altered states and then simplicity and what was your most interesting dream um okay i would say the most interesting dream it was a two-part dream the first dream i had i was walking in new york city and i saw a friend that i had grown up and went to elementary school with i wanted to say something say hi to her but it was just so brief i was like ah forget it like a week
i go into the subway and you know sometimes when you first enter the subway there’s some shops underground well as i’m coming down the steps i see her and i go hey nicole how are you doing blah blah blah blah blah we’re bs we walk into the barber shop there’s a barber shop we walk in and we’re just catching up and telling stories and there’s like a six or seven jamaican guys playing poker we finish the conversation she goes up in the street i go down the subway a month later my friend brings over his new girlfriend and she is the spitting image of this girl yes it’s so weird so i asked her hey can i see a weird question she goes yeah i go did you have a dream last like about a month ago where you bumped into somebody that you hadn’t seen in a while she goes yeah i go tell me the dream she goes i go over my friend’s house i’m going into the basement and as i’m going down the steps i see this friend i go what else happened she goes we go downstairs and we talk i go is there anything else going on in the room she goes there’s a bunch of people playing pool do you have a bad dream well this this is why you said interesting i don’t have an answer was that personal was that me and her or is this evidence of a larger thing there’s a something that descends and we all process it individually and there’s just the synchronicity that she looks just like this girl and maybe that synchronicity was there to impart this information to me i did actually want you you’re touching upon it now can you talk to us about how you originally got into spirituality you traveled around north america for ten years and actually did traumatic work didn’t you well so i’m born and raised in new york i’m from new york i’m an i am a native alaskan jew from new york city good luck playing another one of me and my spiritual birth definitely started here slash israel but the traveling around for 10 years was a product of my devotion to the spiritual path yeah i basically had a near-death experience i think it triggered a natural dmt release within my pineal because i actually believed i was dying and i went um it’s a whole story as a whole you know very uh so so you’re raised in new york um jewish belief system and is jewish in shamanism are they like the same type of beliefs but different ways of perceiving things how did you transition from like having one type of religion to then practice in more of a shamanism well so i was raised jewish but my parents never made me go to temple or hebrew school they said if you don’t want to do this anymore you don’t have to but i really loved it and from i don’t know when i started going up until really my bar mitzvah i had a direct connection i felt like i was connecting with god okay this is a good experience for me 13 you know i’m hitting puberty i get distracted and then i had a very you know rough uh teenage my teenagers were my family was in high schools and this was very very it was the darkest time of my life and so it kind of distanced me from the experience of belief of god i was like there’s no way that god could exist if i’m experiencing such pain and suffering um and then there was other things here and there that started to be i look i say this all the time i don’t care i don’t give a flying f about my opinion compared to the truth i want i’m always more you know than oh there’s no god because this well i’m open to receiving information that proves otherwise i always have i’m very curious i really want to know what’s really going on
and so the judaism it really didn’t fill that cup anymore by my late teens i started to have the having transpersonal experiences and i go i judaism does not explain this yeah nothing has prepared me for this aspect of reality that i have directly experienced i need something to clothe this put context in this i don’t have language that’s what it was the the that i had experienced such a high state i had lost my mind for six months i lost my mind for three months it took six months more of research to be able to put the experience into words and then about a year for me to remember the real peep of it actually it was a whole process yeah did you did you go into the super consciousness yeah so the way i explained like i have a lot i had you know weeks and weeks of stories but this was definitely the peak because i had reached a point where the only way i can explain with language was that i became everything that is was and ever will be i was outside of form and time i was but there was no thought there was no emotion there was no feeling it was just presence and it was throughout time and space no ego yeah no ego i’ve had amazing higher light body interdimensional experiences there’s always a modicum of ego and self and center this was consciousness but purely no center i’ve only had that one said oh i was searching for it i thought yeah that’s the super consciousness because there isn’t enough written about it and it’s like shared dreams there’s not enough people coming forward and given their experiences so then what happens is you’re left trying to find that information if people started to open up more then be like oh yeah i know what that is or worse they throw it in the garbage most of the time because i’m a weird guy and i can’t keep my mouth shut so when i go to parties or other things i start running my mouth about crazy subjects like this and most the time the people that immediately jump on me and go [ __ ] that’s stupid later on we’ll go well actually i had an experience too [Music] it’s because you put it away but as soon as you relax and release holding on to form and identity it starts to oh wait you know i saw that wait a minute i had one of those too you know like my brother and my father even they’re not on the path like me um but they have themselves stories that even i don’t have and they don’t remember those stories i have to remind them my dad will be saying something crazy and i go remember that dream that you had you remember so what’s the lesson from that dream he’s like oh i completely forgot about that how how could you uh are you still there oh hang on yes sorry my things just cut out can you still hear me yeah but i i go how could you how could you forget that story that would define me that would be a pillar of my identity but because of whatever reason you don’t have context it contradicts all the other structures you you throw it in garbage or you put it away or you label it as your imagination yeah exactly so how did you transition into crystals obviously i know people that are getting into spirituality you do start to you go into all these different avenues but how specifically did you get into christmas so even funnier behind all of that early birthing time period we’re talking about crystals were always there yeah okay i grew up with my father being a stone setter for tiffany’s as a kid so he would come home with like six figure insane pieces with just unbelievable stones and diamonds so i’ve been around high quality gems literally my entire life yeah and i remember clearly being five six years old and walking into the store of my grandparents and first time seeing like a large amethyst geode and the concept that this was natural like that moment is literal i can i can see that specific geode in my head it left such an impression on me i’ve always had a love and passion for crystals just so happens that all this it aligns with the rest of the future what what’s your favorite crystal um so that seems to change the more i learn and the more i play because there are like volumes of stuff that you know there’s over 4 000 minerals classified on the books and forget about variety location quality you have to be like an idiot savant like really know everything i i’m always learning and you know i’m getting smarter every year um so that to answer your question that changes
the next video i’ll bring i’ll bring my specimen but right now i would say my favorite off the top of my head is a serious sight um i actually i actually have some medium quality ones here oh you can show us if you want or will that mess up your camera uh no no i’ll it’ll be like literally like five seconds
i don’t know if you can hear it but this whole interview there’s a thunderstorm that’s just passing no no so here i have two different ones this one is better for you can hear me yeah yeah yeah this one is better for contrast this is actually three different minerals let me see if you can wow [Music] i can’t see if it’s uh how do i do this there you go [Music] won’t really focus that well well the jemmy part this is the cerusite all right the metallic gray part that it’s on that’s galena and then these are red bearites so it’s really cool to have all three of them this is from morocco so metaphysical properties of it uh transmutation definitely transmutation and i’ll tell you why here’s a much better example of the sure site the crystallization it’s not as gemmy but the crystallization how do i get it to focus up close maybe tap on the camera that’s what i’m trying to do no it seems to be in just a single state of focus anyways uh so the galena which is metallic this is lead and sulfur the cerusite is lead in calcium so uh or uh is it calcium or carbon no carbon it’s lead in carbon so you’re telling me lead in sulfur it looks like a metal but lead and carbon it goes translucent and gemmy but it’s lead one that’s that’s amazing so just to be able to see that contrast of the of the ceruse on the galena you’re getting two different forms of lead one that looks like a metal and one that looks like a gem crystal yeah yeah flashes here that’s that was a loud uh like yeah i had that yeah that’s the sight and that’s the power of lead it’s that transmutation plutonian you know death rebirth uh orgasm it’s that kind of the vulnerability um that’s my favorite right now okay interesting thank you and um what’s your most interesting craziest experience that you ever had with a christian
so it’s kind of a long story and let me think about how i can abbreviate it i was at a friend’s house in queens and rego park and she was sharing me uh sharing with me her crystal collection and so you know i just put myself in a very gentle uh altered state nothing too crazy and she’s handing me crystal by crystal and i’m just telling her whatever i i feel from it whatever i think it’s not a real amazing it doesn’t it doesn’t start out as an amazing story and then she puts this tibetan quartz in my hand i put it in my hand and i start looking into it and i think of this question i this question comes into my mind it’s about a story of this contact d that gets taken to another planet they look like people but they’re like 12 feet tall something like that it’s a long beautiful story as an older french guy and uh at one point in the story he talks about how uh he left one of the guide that he’s shown him around leaves the city and takes him to this uh semi-circle of saints that are meditating and uh the tone gets very serious and they’re respectful blah blah blah and they talk to these guys and they ask the question i don’t know i’m just holding this chords and all of a sudden this thought comes into my head about that story i go those guys aren’t um they’re not just sitting there yeah they’re they’re out and they’re doing stuff and i go am i doing that am i somewhere else projecting myself here and then a thousand percent i’m i’m not in the apartment anymore and i’m experiencing another version of myself on another planet it kind of looks like a wolf and um there’s a that’s a long this is a long crazy story all the information that came from that one uh and she kind of wakes me up out of the experience and i’m back in the apartment and it was so unbelievable i was like no no i want to go back there i want to go back there close my eyes i go back into the state i start seeing another version of myself it’s like a female she’s more like a fox and then i was like where are and then i’m like where are these people so key i saw was in sagittarius and she i saw was in orion and i was like okay that’s interesting because the earth is in the middle of those and what’s right above but where i feel like i’m actually originally from which is vega and then i saw how it was a trifecta my highest self in vega is manifesting two other points over here in order to manifest me over here all of that from holding a tibetan court in my friend’s apartment have you got a tibetan quotes that you can show us no oh yeah but it’s downstairs here i’ll take you down
we have a really big bust there do you think that thai better monks are able to um project that when they’re then they’re meditating do you think they project their consciousnesses to different practices into stutter space absolutely i mean um i think also like a culture and people can have an impact
yeah sorry i shouldn’t have sent you down there that was no the i think the thunderstorm uh disconnected the internet yeah okay okay so you have tibetan crystal in front of you that is huge yeah this is a really big one i’m not gonna talk so i don’t cut you off the picture so if you hold it up again and i’ll go
i don’t know how well you can see it
yeah this is a huge cluster
wow that is amazing so normally they’re okay now i look i see some of the black inclusions that are normally associated with the bank courts but this is actually exceptionally clear for tibetan courts and why is it called tibetan quarks
wow lightning is striking all around this building i think lightning struck the building earlier too which is what disconnected us from the internet are you there
can you you there yes sorry i keep getting disconnected right okay i’m back again it’s all it’s crystal power i don’t think it’s you for your connection i think it’s the thunderstorm there’s literally lightning striking the building and all around the building wow it’s torrential oh really this is an amazing storm like the whole building shook earlier
oh hang on hold it hold it there because it’s on me i want it to get off of me and on you hang on if you speak it will come back onto you the video yeah i don’t know if you could see the lightning or hear the thunder but man that thunder was loud it’s actually appropriate especially if i’m talking about my origins shamanism i come from a uh light uh thunderbolt uh shamanism tradition okay what is that well in the tradition i come from you’re not recognized as a shaman until you’re struck by lightning oh really why so for six years i prayed to be initiated
and it’s the first storm i went and for six years where i gave up that’s when i got hit oh what was it like when you got hit by thunder um yeah sorry go on uh i was standing barefoot in a puddle of water um i was on a roof and astoria queens and i grounded a beam of plasma that’s hotter than the surface of the sun that shoots miles out into space and miles into the earth everyone’s like you don’t have heart problems you don’t have burns you don’t have this yet no it was like sticking my finger in an electric socket i just got a shock oh did you get any um like any instant different thought so it was just pure normal uh it was pure ecstasy because i had been praying for it for
is that where they do it to experience that
well so uh the t my teacher is a peruvian shaman i come from the in andean shamanic tradition it’s called the pachaku mesa you are not recognizing you are not recognized as a shaman until you’re struck by length lightning or if you are struck by lightning means hey you’re supposed to be a shaman so in his 40s he was praying for a vision got struck by lightning two times and didn’t understand it took three years for him to go oh yeah being struck by lightning means i’m supposed to be a champion oh so you know when you um you close your eyes and you bring like that blissful feeling down you um how is it different to that then
um
if you think of like the power of a supernova it could be like comparable to you know the all of the joy of your birthday wrapped up in a single moment or like an orgasm but it’s also incredible intensity okay so it’s a next level intent so you know the power of god is not just a butterfly and a flower it’s also an earthquake yeah yeah and and [Music] to wield that kind of power demands unbelievable responsibility and accountability and um
it was intense it was really really it was just how you would imagine there was an explosion that happened around me and ran through me
well yeah and that’s when all the crazy ufo stuff really started to kick off after getting hit sorry i’ve been praying for it for years yeah and you know like what was the ufo stuff um since i was nine years old the three subjects i’ve been obsessed with were cinematography ancient egypt and ufos i’ve been obsessed with ufos since i was nine years old yeah that’s funny i saw a ufo when i was around 9 10. oh yeah yeah in the sky and i always had an obsession my parents didn’t know where from from the stars i always wanted a star system to shine on my ceiling and me and my brother saw a ufo as we were looking out at the window and he i said oh my god it’s the ufo he said don’t be ridiculous because it was just like hovering in the sky and it went like that um but then years later actually when i was doing lures of energy work that’s why i’m asking you what the ufo um stuff was when i did lose energy work and i got to a point where i can just send this energy down i can do it now as i close my eyes that’s when i put forts out there if there are any uf any ufo any extraterrestrials that are walking amongst us right now please come and speak to me have a cup of tea with me and then that evening i totally forgot about it and someone pressed my doorbell at three o’clock in the morning and at the time yeah at the time i lived in the middle of nowhere and my doorbell was hidden unless you knew about it i had deliveries having time and people could never find it so and nobody i never had visitors in the four and a half years that i lived there by myself so um i like i got up cause i was scared stiff who the hell is this knocking on my door three o’clock in the morning so i go to the window and all i see is this dude calmly walking back to his car with his hoodie up now they only press my doorbell once if if they were someone doing something dodgy they’d be banging on it a few times not just press it once and then walk away and i thought oh who is that and then it wasn’t until a few days later i remembered i sent out that intention
are you still there yeah yeah yeah so like i was like oh i missed it i missed my opportunity but i had a story just like that yeah what happened but it’s just that point it’s so funny and i think that’s even the just that caveat even more important than the story or the specifics of the story be careful what you wish for you know and when you ask for something big and or impossible or unknown or alien you got to be in the right state to be able to perceive it and receive it and not panic and freak out even somebody like me who’s been researching it for how many years was i researching it at that point that’s 2008 so it was uh you know 12 no it was like 18 years yeah 18 years i’ve been researching the subject wanting to get on a ship wanting to make contact it was very casual i had that like oh you know yeah yeah it would be i said this would be the perfect place to make contact but it was just casual and i let go of it and then i had the most face-to-face encounter and um i was with two other people and we couldn’t handle it we freaked out we totally panicked and it was innocent there was nothing nefarious about the story it’s just the fear of the unknown which is why the the central pillar behind all my contact research is being able to mentally emotionally prepare yourself to be face to face with something you’ve never seen before because the animal body will take over instinctually and make you run away it will have fear run through you that you did not know exist inside of you even if there’s nothing to be afraid about it’s just our cultural uh normal state and to react to what is unfamiliar or what’s the unknown i see that even simply with people reacting with me some people can’t put me in a box and it makes them uncomfortable they don’t know and they don’t understand and it therefore makes them very guarded
so one of my favorite stories in this regard is i can’t remember this gentleman’s name but i adore him and every everything i’ve ever heard out of his mouth but he worked with the rama group which is a famous contact group in peru uh in the 80s funny enough my teacher his teacher who’s part of that rama group in peru yeah and uh so this guy he was in the group and he tells his part of this story where they make a circle with about a thousand foot uh diameter or radius and they set up tents and they do a bunch of spiritual work and classes before and then they go to the academic desert do the circle and they do group meditation to invite a higher positive loving and like being yeah okay so happened to be extraterrestrial to come in the center of the circle so we could meet and he goes it works it happens this thing lands in the center of the circle and i have to fight every impetus in my body to turn around and run in the other direction he goes that that walk towards the center of the circle is the hardest thing i’ve ever done in my life because yeah you halfway now you have to meet him halfway yeah was it covered everyone’s like oh my god really panicking can you imagine if the government did tell them yeah there’s aliens they’d be like ah do you mean there’s like the shops you could queued for hours stocking up on food because they thought it was the end of the world imagine if they what would happen if they said yeah there’s such things as aliens it’d be total meltdown how about this how about if the mainstream how about if the if the media was journalistic and they covered they did the job that they their title defines them as and rather telling us how to think and what to think about a subject giving us the bare information and you know letting us decide for ourselves rather than driving a narrative i don’t need a narrative reality narrates itself yeah you just tell me what’s going on so if the if big corporate media did an honest job of telling and covering this subject you might not have the xenophobia that we experience on this planet today forget about aliens how about new york versus new jersey or you know or north ireland south ireland or israel palestine
oh um before i figure so that tibetan crystal because it cut off didn’t it so we were discussing it so do you think that some people have developed abilities for example if you’re a tibetan monk and tibetans develop the ability to be able to inter-dimensionally travel to other places in the universe then you get born into different lives and then technically without knowing it you would still have the ability to be able to inter-dimensionally travel across the universe but you just won’t be aware that you have that ability because in your current life you haven’t gone and trained as like tobacco monk however because you’ve done it in your past like if you develop the skills you have it naturally um so i guess my question is do you think people that find themselves inter-dimensionally traveling they’ve developed it in the past life and then all of a sudden one day they find themselves when they’re in a dream state somewhere else in the universe and they’re like oh what am i doing here and the answer is well in the past life used to do it quite a lot and now you’re just not conscious of it what’s your thoughts on that um i think there’s a thousand shades of grey there are a lot of examples where that’s true and it is directly you know correlated to past life or trauma or something that’s incomplete but um it can express itself in so many different ways and the reaction doesn’t always guarantee the same clause yeah uh you know i’ve been doing shamanic sessions for 17 years and i’ll tell you right now nah no two sessions are the same so like if we could simplify earth and then humanity we there are some generalities that we could paint and if we can pull back from spiritual level the function of earth and humanity together serves a specific function right that’s kind of a generality in my opinion of the galaxy earth is earth is the earth has always been a special story but especially right now it’s such a mixed bag and just such a pot of stew it’s so there’s so many unique stories i’ve just come up with like it never ceases to amaze me when i see somebody’s new story and i’m like wow you’re here for this reason and you’re doing that i never would have imagined somebody would do that yeah i’m just sorry i’m trying to get my video and i don’t i’ve already i’ve got this 4k camera and i’ve had nothing but triple it sorry you need a processor to be able to cut you know it’s a lot of information even the best processors
experiences that you had
no man
the most interesting shamanic experiences and also i want to ask you what’s the most interesting crystal story that you’ve heard not necessarily your own because you’ve already told us that but what’s the thing i’ve heard yeah that’s uh yeah that’s so there was my own and then um what was the first question the most interesting shamanic yeah germanic experience that you’ve come across the most interesting the the most interesting are usually the most mysterious where it’s powerful profound and i don’t have an answer for it so i have too many okay
seriously i’m like what is the more what’s the more important because the story is funny but it’s the caveat it’s the lesson yeah that you’re linked with after the story that’s yeah i feel like storytelling like my favorite
the most interesting i would say are the quick success stories i have a lot of shamanic experiences or i hate that word but like battles where i’m i’m i’m wrestling with some negative dark energy and traditionally most of my shamanic life it’s work but every once in a while and actually increasingly more so recently uh it’s actually completely effortless and discovering how effortless it is and how you can actually have fun that’s i think the most uh interesting shamanic thing is now uh a formula i’m starting to see of how to really deal with negative forces you have to have do a lot of work on your heart yeah yeah so uh my first yoga teacher was swami bua he claimed to be 130 years old right and he’d been doing yoga for over 100 years he said he was 60 years old in the 1930s when he came to this country right so the first day i meet him i go with a friend who is a very devoted yogini and she at the end of the class he takes questions she asks him a question she goes uh swamiji how do you protect the heart and he starts laughing he goes no no no my dear the heart protects you yeah yeah yeah because it’s a big chakra point isn’t it it’s the center of chakra point yeah yeah it’s everything it’s the be-all end-all and uh people think that love is a weakness and it makes you vulnerable and it’s something that people trample over but uh you know
it’s the most it’s it’s it’s the glue of everything so you know like saying we only can understand you know 90 of dna is junk dna 95 to 90 percent of the universe dark matter dark energy we can’t equate for it we only use 10 of their brain you know they’re trying to just get you to focus on particles you know and not waves but the in between of everything is the heart it’s the love it’s the center and it’s the glue it’s the web um the greatest spiritual truth that i’m just monitoring everybody it’s the key to the door in my opinion that all spiritual traditions ultimately say is that separation separation is illusion yet here i am and there you are so it’s a powerful revolution but just remember it’s an illusion there is no such thing as separation there is no such thing as separation you’re not separate from the heart of god the power of god the mind the wisdom from your next door neighbor to your grandmother that died for years ago to your best friend in california there is no separation if you can understand that really understand that then so that’s like global consciousness the fact that we can oh i went all funny then i went all lightheaded um
the fact that we can tune into each other’s thoughts like atlantis how they said they were able to communicate telepathically um so we’re all connected we’re all one and if we start to become aware of that a bit more then we will start to gain that global consciousness and strength i i go out of my way to respect people’s privacy to the point like if i have an astrological client yeah you know can you read my boyfriend’s chart i go well does he do i have his approval she’s like no then i’m not going to do it yeah that being said if you understand that separation is an illusion then privacy is known behind the words is the frequency and i’m receiving that frequency which has the intention and the root thought before those words hit my ear so yeah i i i made you um read my aura didn’t i when i first met you well i must say this is my boss yeah the apparently the thunderstorm tripped the alarm system so he was like what’s going on oh okay well we better um hurry up anyways that you go how don’t we uh i don’t even know what time is it seven is it 7 30 yeah already oh wow we went fast well thank you for letting us interview you on well lesson earth letting me interview you for everyone to see how about i suggest we come back another time because obviously we’ve ran out of time and you can show us around the amazing crystal shop how does that sound sounds good okay perfect so
