Host Karen welcomes historian and researcher Jim Windisch, owner of Heroic Moments Sports Memorabilia and a lifelong explorer of ancient history. Jim’s fascination with the mysteries of the past began in childhood after reading Chariots of the Gods and visiting excavation sites in Illinois, including Nauvoo and Dickson Mounds. These early experiences sparked a lifelong quest that has taken him across the Americas in search of evidence for lost civilizations.

Jim shares his journeys to sacred sites—from North America’s indigenous mound complexes to the precisely carved stone walls of Peru—where the energy and craftsmanship suggest a reality beyond conventional history. Influenced by works such as Fingerprints of the Gods and deeply inspired by Edgar Cayce’s readings on Lemuria, Jim believes this ancient spiritual civilization left lasting imprints on humanity. He encourages seekers to explore both Cayce’s writings and James Churchward’s research for deeper insights into our collective past.

In this conversation, Jim reflects on how these mysteries have shaped his spiritual growth, why he believes Lemuria truly existed, and what its enduring influence reveals about the evolution of the soul.

Jim will also be a featured presenter at the Unveil the Truth: Ancient Mysteries and Cosmic Connections conference, taking place October 2–5, 2025.

Hosts Karen and Will explore the transformative energy healing practice of Reiki with Reiki Master Teacher, Jen Pearson.

Jen is a certified Spiritual Life Coach, Shamanic Breathwork Facilitator, ordained Shamanic Minister, and tarot reader. Since 2015, she has guided and certified Reiki students, helping them align with their soul’s journey and step into empowered, authentic living.

Reiki, a Japanese healing technique, promotes deep relaxation and energetic balance across physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. Practitioners act as channels for universal life-force energy, supporting healing, emotional release, pain relief, chakra alignment, and inner peace. But Reiki is more than a healing modality—it’s a personal journey of growth, insight, and connection.

In this episode of New Awakenings with Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E., hosts Karen and Will sit down with A.R.E. CEO Christopher Naughton, Esq., to explore Edgar Cayce’s influence on American and global spirituality.

Christopher, a former prosecutor and Emmy® award-winning TV host, brings a unique blend of legal insight, broadcasting experience, and spiritual inquiry. He is the author of America’s Next Great Awakening and host of New World Radio, a program exploring the intersection of mysticism, science, and religion.

The conversation also honors Edgar Cayce, the “Sleeping Prophet,” whose 14,000+ intuitive readings—many focused on health—offered guidance decades ahead of their time. He emphasized the importance of spiritual growth, holistic healing, and the soul’s connection to the Divine.

In 1931, Cayce helped found the Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.) to give seekers a place to study his work and pursue personal transformation.

On this episode of New Awakenings with Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E., hosts Karen and Will explore the mystery of the Lost Hall of Records with researcher and historical detective Jim Vieira.

Jim has hosted several History Channel shows, including Search for the Lost Giants, and appeared on Ancient Aliens, Expedition Unknown, and The UnXplained. He’s the author of Giants on Record and The Giants of Stonehenge and Ancient Britain, and believes ancient mysteries are keys to deeper metaphysical truths.

The Lost Hall of Records, said to be buried beneath the Great Sphinx of Giza, is believed—according to Edgar Cayce’s readings—to hold records from the lost civilization of Atlantis. These documents contain spiritual and technological knowledge meant to be discovered when humanity is ready for a new age of enlightenment.

hosts Karen and Will explore the restructuring of the A.R.E. Field Volunteers Outreach Program with Judith Stevens — founder of the A.R.E. Prison Outreach Program, manager of the Study Groups Program, and National Field Volunteers Coordinator.

Judith began her work with A.R.E. in 1968 and has been a dedicated student of the Cayce material for over 50 years. Over the decades, she has overseen four major outreach initiatives and refers to A.R.E. members as the “arms and legs” of the organization — a group she holds in the highest regard.

After three years of dedicated collaboration, Judith and her team have introduced a new Community Affiliates Program designed to better support members in all 50 states.

The country has been divided into six regional Community Affiliates: Western, Southwest, Peaks to Plains, Midwest, Northeast, and Southeast. Each region has designated points of contact who help uphold the A.R.E.'s mission, maintain consistency across Study Groups, and provide the necessary resources and support — no matter where members are located.

To find out which Community Affiliate you belong to, how many fellow members are in your region, and who to contact locally, visit:
