    Heaven And Hell Are NOT Places You Go. Here Is The Truth

    Grab Your 7 Day Free Trial of Ascension University: https://www.skool.com/ascensionuniversity/about In this episode, you'll learn: Why heaven and hell are not destinations you travel to after death but internal states of consciousness you create within yourself, and how Jake experienced heaven firsthand on a somatic therapy table by feeling the fear stored from his own birth Why all religion was created as a control system designed to keep you in a fear-based state, how it infiltrated governments, schools, and every structure of society, and why the Bible's claim that you are born a sinner is one of the most powerful forms of manipulation ever created How dark entities have been using frequency control through Wi-Fi, fluorescent lights, chemtrails, 5G, and constant stimulation to dim your connection to source, and why getting out of that environment is one of the most important things you can do Why your disconnection from God is not spiritual failure but simply disconnection from your own emotions, and how shame is the deepest wound keeping you powerless and giving your authority away to something outside yourself How feeling your emotions literally activates dormant light filaments in your DNA, why every cell in your body already contains all the information you could ever need, and why no book or teaching can give you what direct emotional experience already holds The exact process to start coming home to yourself today through breath, and the specific moments throughout your day when sitting with your breath instead of numbing will begin to change everything the second coming podcast, jake whan, ascension university, spiritual awakening, christ consciousness, nervous system spirituality, embodied leadership, breathwork, men and spirituality, divine masculine, spiritual responsibility, inner work, God and nervous system, spiritual restoration, direct experience of God, men and purpose, awakening men, sacred masculinity, spiritual leadership, conscious men, regulated living, from survival to presence, men and identity, spiritual growth, remembering who you are Connect with Jake Whan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jake_whan/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jake_whan1 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@jakewhan Join Ascension University: https://www.skool.com/ascensionuniversity/about About Jake Whan Jake Whan is a spiritual leader, speaker, and breathwork facilitator devoted to restoring Christ Consciousness through embodied relationship with God.

    Why Chasing Success Is KEEPING You From What You Actually Want

    Grab Your 7 Day Free Trial of Ascension University: https://www.skool.com/ascensionuniversity/about In this episode, you'll learn: Why everything society told you success looks like, the money, the car, the house, the job title, is the ego's version of success built entirely on fear, and why chasing it will never actually make you feel enough no matter how much you achieve Why the real reason you want success has nothing to do with money and everything to do with wanting to be loved, where that need came from in childhood, and why no external achievement will ever fill that gap What true success actually is, why it lives inside your nervous system rather than your bank account, and why a regulated nervous system state is the most valuable thing you could ever build How a regulated nervous system naturally attracts better relationships, more abundance, better health, and deeper peace without you having to chase or force any of it Why the ego keeps you in a sympathetic fight or flight state that blocks everything you actually want, and how shifting from ego to soul is the only real path to the life you are searching for The exact breath, sound and movement practice to start releasing stored trauma from your nervous system so you can begin living from the soul rather than the fear the second coming podcast, jake whan, ascension university, spiritual awakening, christ consciousness, nervous system spirituality, embodied leadership, breathwork, men and spirituality, divine masculine, spiritual responsibility, inner work, God and nervous system, spiritual restoration, direct experience of God, men and purpose, awakening men, sacred masculinity, spiritual leadership, conscious men, regulated living, from survival to presence, men and identity, spiritual growth, remembering who you are Connect with Jake Whan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jake_whan/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jake_whan1 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@jakewhan Join Ascension University: https://www.skool.com/ascensionuniversity/about About Jake Whan Jake Whan is a spiritual leader, speaker, and breathwork facilitator devoted to restoring Christ Consciousness through embodied relationship with God.

    Stop Searching For Your Purpose. Here Is What It ACTUALLY Is

    Grab Your 7 Day Free Trial of Ascension University: https://www.skool.com/ascensionuniversity/about In this episode, you'll learn: Why your purpose is not what you think it is, why it has nothing to do with your job, your degree, or what you do for a living, and why chasing a mission before understanding your true purpose is why so many people feel empty even when they are succeeding Why your only true purpose is to remember who you are, what that actually means in practical daily life, and how everything else including your mission naturally flows from that one thing The difference between purpose and mission, why so many people confuse the two, and how understanding that distinction changes the entire way you move through life and make decisions The three powerful questions to ask yourself right now that will begin to reveal your true purpose, cut through the noise of what others expect of you, and bring you back into alignment with who you actually are Why the emotion you are most afraid to feel is the exact thing keeping you from remembering who you truly are, and how breathwork became the tool that cracked everything open and allowed the real purpose to surface What it looks like when your mission is revealed naturally from a place of remembering rather than searching, and why the thing you would do even if you were never paid for it is the clearest signal of all the second coming podcast, jake whan, ascension university, spiritual awakening, christ consciousness, nervous system spirituality, embodied leadership, breathwork, men and spirituality, divine masculine, spiritual responsibility, inner work, God and nervous system, spiritual restoration, direct experience of God, men and purpose, awakening men, sacred masculinity, spiritual leadership, conscious men, regulated living, from survival to presence, men and identity, spiritual growth, remembering who you are Connect with Jake Whan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jake_whan/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jake_whan1 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@jakewhan Join Ascension University: https://www.skool.com/ascensionuniversity/about About Jake Whan Jake Whan is a spiritual leader, speaker, and breathwork facilitator devoted to restoring Christ Consciousness through embodied relationship with God.

    How They Used Religion To DISCONNECT You From Your Power

    Grab Your 7 Day Free Trial of Ascension University: https://www.skool.com/ascensionuniversity/about In this episode, you'll learn: Why the big G, the true God, has never come to earth and never could, and why the sheer magnitude of that light would literally destroy the human body if it did How God is not one man but the creator of all universes, all galaxies, all beings, and all things, and why reducing that to a single human figure was the most powerful form of manipulation ever created Why teaching you that Jesus is God was a deliberate system designed to keep you looking outside yourself, worshipping something above you, and never accessing the true power you hold within Who the beings are that have been feeding off of fear on this planet for 300,000 years, why they are not inherently evil but beings that lost their way, and why merging with them rather than fighting them is the real path forward How your DNA was changed from its original multi-strand light-bearing structure into the double helix you know today, and how feeling your emotions is literally the process that begins to reverse that and reactivate the dormant light codes inside you Why emotions are activators of light, how feeling what you have been suppressing awakens information stored in every cell of your body, and why the more of us that do this together the faster this planet shifts from fear to love About Jake Whan Jake Whan is a spiritual leader, speaker, and breathwork facilitator devoted to restoring Christ Consciousness through embodied relationship with God.

    Why You Are TERRIFIED To Be Seen And How To Finally Fix It

    Grab Your 7 Day Free Trial of Ascension University: https://www.skool.com/ascensionuniversity/about In this episode, you'll learn: Why you already know deep down that you have a gift to share with the world, what has been keeping it dormant, and why the fear of being seen is not a character flaw but a direct result of a childhood where your fullest expression was not held or welcomed How the stories you formed between the ages of zero and seven about not being good enough are still running your life today, showing up as the identities you built to earn love, the popular kid, the strong one, the successful one, the good mom, all of it Why no one can truly see you until you fully see yourself first, and what it practically looks like to give yourself that permission rather than waiting for someone else to give it to you How Jake went through a full temper tantrum alone on a mountaintop in Costa Rica the night before recording this, what that released, and why that kind of feeling is not weakness but the exact process that allows you to finally show up as who you actually are Why your gifts cannot stay dormant forever and will always find a way to the surface, and how disease, restlessness, and the feeling of being meant for more are all signs that it is time to stop suppressing what is inside you The step by step process of feeling the anger, sadness, shame, and guilt of not being seen, and how moving through those emotions in a safe space with others is what finally sets you free to be visible in the world About Jake Whan Jake Whan is a spiritual leader, speaker, and breathwork facilitator devoted to restoring Christ Consciousness through embodied relationship with God.

    Your Need To Control Everything Is Slowly DESTROYING Your Life

    Grab Your 7 Day Free Trial of Ascension University: https://www.skool.com/ascensionuniversity/about In this episode, you'll learn: Why surrender feels so terrifying, and how it traces directly back to a childhood where being vulnerable meant getting hurt, so you learned that controlling everything was the only way to stay safe How the family patterns, wounds, and fears you were born into became the operating system you have been running on your entire adult life without even knowing it Why the ego will never lead you to God, real love, or abundance, and why the soul always will, and what it actually costs to make that switch How emotions are the activators that unlock the dormant knowledge inside your DNA that you are one with God, and why feeling them fully is the only real path to surrender What rock bottom actually is, why God leads every one of us there eventually, and how that forced moment of letting go is often the most important turning point of a person's life The step by step process to release the stories of not being enough, not being worthy, and not being deserving, so that you can finally live the life your soul actually came here to live About Jake Whan Jake Whan is a spiritual leader, speaker, and breathwork facilitator devoted to restoring Christ Consciousness through embodied relationship with God.

    How To ACTUALLY Connect To God Without Religion Or A Bible

    Grab Your 7 Day Free Trial of Ascension University: https://www.skool.com/ascensionuniversity/about In this episode, you'll learn: Why all religion has been created from control, how it has been used to keep you in a fear-based state, and why the Bible, the church, and every external system will never lead you to the real experience of God you are searching for Why heaven and hell are not places you go when you die but internal states of consciousness that you create within yourself, and how Jake experienced the kingdom of heaven firsthand on a somatic therapy table in Costa Rica How dark forces, frequency manipulation, Wi-Fi, chemtrails, and constant stimulation are literally dimming your connection to source, and why getting out of that environment is one of the most important things you can do for your awakening Why your disconnection from God is actually just disconnection from your emotions, and how shame is the single deepest wound keeping you in the dark and giving your power away to something outside of yourself How feeling your emotions activates dormant light filaments inside your DNA, and why emotion is the most powerful tool you have for remembering who you truly are and what you came here to do The simplest practice you can start today, breath, and exactly when and how to use it instead of numbing, distracting, and repeating the same patterns that have kept you asleep About Jake Whan Jake Whan is a spiritual leader, speaker, and breathwork facilitator devoted to restoring Christ Consciousness through embodied relationship with God.

    Why You Feel ALONE Even When You're Surrounded By People

    Grab Your 7 Day Free Trial of Ascension University: https://www.skool.com/ascensionuniversity/about In this episode, you'll learn: Why you can be surrounded by people and still feel completely alone, and why that feeling is not random but traces directly back to what you learned about yourself in childhood How the masks you have been wearing your whole life, the successful one, the strong one, the performer, the people pleaser, were all just strategies a child developed to earn love when being themselves did not work Why you will never feel truly loved or truly seen as long as you are showing up as the mask rather than as yourself, and what it actually takes to drop it How shame is the deepest wound underneath all of it, why most people never get to it alone, and what it felt like when Jake finally released years of carried shame in a breathwork container surrounded by 40 other people The two things you need in order to actually feel this and heal it: a safe space with a facilitator who has done this work themselves, and empathetic witnesses who let you know you were never alone to begin with What becomes possible when you stop needing anything outside of yourself, and how two people who have both done this work can finally meet each other without masks and experience true oneness About Jake Whan Jake Whan is a spiritual leader, speaker, and breathwork facilitator devoted to restoring Christ Consciousness through embodied relationship with God.

    Why You Always Attract The Wrong Person in Relationships (Do This Instead)

    Grab Your 7 Day Free Trial of Ascension University: http://jakewhan.mykajabi.com/ascensionuniversity In this episode, you'll learn: Why the masculine and feminine have become so deeply disconnected in modern society, what caused it, and why healing that disconnect is one of the most powerful things you can do for your relationships and your connection to God How a woman ends up attracting narcissists and emotionally unavailable men not by accident but because of childhood wounds that taught her love was not safe, and what it actually takes to break that pattern Why surrender is not weakness but the most powerful thing a man or a woman can do, and what it practically looks like to let God's love fully in rather than staying in control and staying safe How men can begin to heal their relationship with the feminine within themselves, and how women can begin to heal their relationship with the masculine, so that both can finally stop repelling the love they actually want Why breath is the doorway to surrender, how connecting to your nervous system is the foundation of all of this, and what it means to create true love within yourself before you can ever truly have it with another person the second coming podcast, jake whan, ascension university, spiritual awakening, christ consciousness, nervous system spirituality, embodied leadership, breathwork, men and spirituality, divine masculine, spiritual responsibility, inner work, God and nervous system, spiritual restoration, direct experience of God, men and purpose, awakening men, sacred masculinity, spiritual leadership, conscious men, regulated living, from survival to presence, men and identity, spiritual growth, remembering who you are Connect with Jake Whan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jake_whan/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jake_whan1 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@jakewhan Join Ascension University: http://jakewhan.mykajabi.com/ascensionuniversity About Jake Whan Jake Whan is a spiritual leader, speaker, and breathwork facilitator devoted to restoring Christ Consciousness through embodied relationship with God.

    EP. 13 - Justin Peters On Addiction, Men's Work, And Coming Home To Yourself

    JOIN ASCENSION UNIVERSITY: https://www.skool.com/ascensionuniversity/about Join us in Costa Rica from September 26 to October 2, 2026 for the Ascension University Retreat: https://www.jakewhan.com/retreat In this episode, you'll learn: How Justin Peters went from chasing external success, money, and validation to hitting rock bottom with addiction after losing his best friend and father, and why everything he thought would bring happiness left him more empty than ever Why Justin believes every addiction is ultimately a search for God, and how the pain pills, the party streaks, and the relentless hustle were all just different ways of avoiding the truth that was always waiting inside How growing up with an angry father who carried his own unprocessed wounds, and a mother who left during the divorce, shaped Justin's belief that love was not safe and that he had to earn his worth through achievement Why men are afraid of the power they hold within, how cultural conditioning has left men without a roadmap for what true masculine leadership actually looks like, and why women and children need men to do this work now more than ever What the ten day Vipassana retreat taught Justin about the wild stallion of the mind, why the goal is not to tame it but to widen the field it runs in, and how awareness became the foundation of everything that followed Why men's work gave Justin the first experience of not being alone with his pain, what it felt like to finally be witnessed by other men, and how seeing God in another man's eyes changed everything The first steps Justin recommends for any man who is holding fear or struggling with addiction right now, and why sitting in silence for ten minutes a day might be the most powerful thing you can do About Justin Peters Justin Peters helps men and women reclaim their relationship with themselves so they can form deep, authentic connections with others.

    EP. 12 - Why Your Truth is Needed Now More Than Ever

    JOIN ASCENSION UNIVERSITY: https://www.skool.com/ascensionuniversity/about Join us in Costa Rica from September 26 to October 2, 2026 for the Ascension University Retreat: https://www.jakewhan.com/retreat In this episode, you'll learn: How Andrew Genovese discovered that breath alone was not enough, and why the real breakthrough came when he stopped using breathwork to bypass his emotions and started using it to actually feel them through nervous system healing and inner child work Why Andrew's volatile upbringing with a father whose rage came from his own unprocessed childhood trauma left his nervous system in a constant state of survival, and how that wiring shaped his entire journey toward healing The difference between plant medicine showing you the room and breath actually allowing you to live in it, and why the experiences that truly stick always come back to embodiment in the body Why people avoid accessing the depth of love and God available to them, and why the real fear is not the fear itself but the godly power and bigness that lies within What is actually happening in the spiritual space right now with teachers who are not leading from integrity, why calling that out is an act of love and service rather than judgment, and why authenticity and truth are the most valuable currencies in the world today Why money is not separate from God, why poverty consciousness in the spiritual community is a problem, and what it actually means to reclaim abundance as a form of spiritual sovereignty How to know when you have found the right teacher or community, what prayer actually looks like outside of religion, and the one thing Andrew tells everyone who is on the edge of stepping into their truth About Andrew Genovese Andrew Genovese is the leader of Dimensional Breathwork Facilitation, soon to be rebranded as New Earth Visionaries. He guides people through a 14 week deep dive into nervous system healing, inner child work, breathwork, and embodied leadership to help them step into their full power and purpose.

    JOIN ASCENSION UNIVERSITY: https://www.skool.com/ascensionuniversity/about Join us in Costa Rica from September 26 to October 2, 2026 for the Ascension University Retreat: https://ascensionuniversity.life/retreat In this episode, you'll learn: How Rachel, a mother of three from Utah, went from feeling completely stuck in life and too scared to be vulnerable, to jumping into her first retreat terrified and coming out knowing herself on a deeper level than ever before How Ryan, a breathwork facilitator, spent 15 months practicing breathwork and leading others through big breakthroughs without being able to reach that deep emotional release himself, until the final breathwork session of the retreat cracked him open completely Why plant medicine can show you the room but breath is what allows you to actually live in it, and why the experiences that have stuck most deeply for both Rachel and Ryan came through the body and not through substances What happens inside a retreat space when there is genuine permission to feel, why that is so rare in everyday life, and how that permission alone can be the thing that leads to real transformation The hardest moments each of them faced at the retreat, including Rachel seeing her late father in a breathwork journey and realizing the love she had been searching for could only come from within herself Why Ryan quit his daily inhaled steroid after 20 years of asthma and attributes the change entirely to the lung strength he built through consistent breathwork practice What both Rachel and Ryan would say to anyone sitting on the fence about coming to the retreat, and why listening to your heart over the fear in your head is always the right move About Jake Whan Jake Whan is a spiritual leader, speaker, and breathwork facilitator devoted to restoring Christ Consciousness through embodied relationship with God.

    EP. 10 - Your Nervous System is the Gateway to God

    JOIN ASCENSION UNIVERSITY: https://www.skool.com/ascensionuniversity/about Join us in Costa Rica from September 26 to October 2, 2026 for the Ascension University Retreat: https://ascensionuniversity.life/retreat In this episode, you'll learn: Why everything you have been searching for, the next medicine ceremony, the next coach, the next podcast, is something you keep putting between yourself and God, and why the direct path has always been within your own body The three moments in my life where I felt the direct embodied love of God, what each of them had in common, and why none of them came from a book, a church, or a substance Why you chose to incarnate into a human body, why that body is your greatest vessel for knowing God, and how dishonoring it by looking outside yourself is the one thing keeping you from the direct experience you are searching for How God lives in every emotion including shame, guilt, anger, and fear, and why the deepest emotions you are most afraid to feel are the exact doorway to knowing God fully Why breath is spirit, what it means to cultivate your connection to God through your breath every single day, and how three simple breaths right now can begin to bring you back into direct relationship with source What it actually looks like to walk with God in daily life, how God speaks through the person in the grocery store, the video that pops up on your screen, and every moment that triggers or moves you Why when we all remember what we truly are, the systems built to make us forget, the corporations, the churches, the financial structures, will no longer have power over us About Jake Whan Jake Whan is a spiritual leader, speaker, and breathwork facilitator devoted to restoring Christ Consciousness through embodied relationship with God.

    EP. 9 - How to Find & Listen to Your Intuition

    JOIN ASCENSION UNIVERSITY: https://www.skool.com/ascensionuniversity/about Join us in Costa Rica from September 26 to October 2, 2026 for the Ascension University Retreat: https://ascensionuniversity.life/retreat In this episode, you'll learn: Why your intuition is not something you need to develop from scratch but something that has been speaking to you your whole life through emotion, pattern, and the wounds that keep showing up in your relationships How healing your nervous system is the single most direct path to accessing a clear, coherent intuition and what blocks that channel when unresolved emotions are living inside you What it actually feels like when your intuition is fully online, how it guided me to my home in Costa Rica, and why following it even when it stretches your budget is the most aligned thing you can do The difference between making decisions from your mind versus being guided by your higher self, and why the mind alone will always lead you back to your wounds rather than forward into your life Why your patterns and wounds showing up repeatedly in relationships, money, and work are not failures but your intuition guiding you toward what still needs to be healed What coherence actually is, how to reach it, and why from that state everything you need flows to you naturally without force or effort How giving your body presence through breath, feeling, and stillness clears the channel so God can speak directly through you About Jake Whan Jake Whan is a spiritual leader, speaker, and breathwork facilitator devoted to restoring Christ Consciousness through embodied relationship with God.

    EP. 8 -  God Won't be Found in the Bible

    JOIN ASCENSION UNIVERSITY: https://www.skool.com/ascensionuniversity/about Join us in Costa Rica from September 26 to October 2, 2026 for the Ascension University Retreat: https://ascensionuniversity.life/retreat In this episode, you'll learn: Why God will never be found through the Bible, a sermon, or a pastor, and why the only place to truly know God is through direct lived experience in your own body The difference between knowing about God through the mind and actually knowing God through embodiment, and why the mind alone will never get you there The four moments in my life where I felt and experienced the love of God fully, what each of them had in common, and why none of them happened in a church Why emotion is energy in motion, how breath, sound and movement are the three tools that unlock it, and how feeling your emotions fully is the most direct path to knowing what you actually are How the trauma living in your nervous system from experiences you do not even consciously remember is the root cause of your health issues, relationship patterns, and feeling stuck, and what it looks like to finally release it Why religion calling breathwork, yoga, and embodiment practices demonic is not a coincidence, and what it reveals about what religion actually wants for you What it means to live a life with God every single day, not through prayer and scripture but through following your intuition, feeling your emotions, and showing up fully in the human experience About Jake Whan Jake Whan is a spiritual leader, speaker, and breathwork facilitator devoted to restoring Christ Consciousness through embodied relationship with God.

    EP. 7 - Christ Consciousness vs Christianity

    JOIN ASCENSION UNIVERSITY: https://www.skool.com/ascensionuniversity/about Join us in Costa Rica from September 26 to October 2, 2026 for the Ascension University Retreat: https://ascensionuniversity.life/retreat In this episode, you'll learn: Why Jesus was never a Christian, why Christianity was created decades after his life by the Roman church, and how that timeline changes everything about how we read his teachings The real difference between Christianity and Christ Consciousness, and why one is built on belief while the other is built on embodiment What the Holy Trinity actually represents when you remove the religious framing, and how God, Christ, and Holy Spirit map onto consciousness, embodiment, and breath Why I believe the church killed Jesus for threatening their control, and how going to church to know him means going through the very thing that ended his life Why Christianity's teachings around sex, sin, and worship disconnect us from our own divine nature, and what Jesus's relationship with Mary Magdalene actually represented How the Gospel of Thomas and the Gnostic texts left out of the Bible reveal teachings about union, embodiment, and inner knowing that mainstream religion never wanted you to have access to Why everything the church calls demonic, breathwork, movement, sexuality, pleasure, is actually what leads you into a true state of Christ Consciousness About Jake Whan Jake Whan is a spiritual leader, speaker, and breathwork facilitator devoted to restoring Christ Consciousness through embodied relationship with God.

    EP. 6 - The Shocking Truth About Jesus That Religion Hid From You. My Personal Relationship with Yeshua

    JOIN ASCENSION UNIVERSITY: https://www.skool.com/ascensionuniversity/about Join us in Costa Rica from September 26 to October 2, 2026 for the Ascension University Retreat: https://ascensionuniversity.life/retreat In this episode, you'll learn: How my relationship with Yeshua began not through religion or the Bible but through a private sound healing at a park in Austin, and a moment in a garden where a spirit I had always known finally made himself known Why I stopped attending the megachurch I was going to every Sunday, and what the phrase "we are all imperfect people worshiping a perfect Lord" revealed about what was missing from institutional Christianity What five days of somatic therapy in Costa Rica unlocked inside my nervous system, and how going back to the trauma of my own birth led me to directly experience the words of Yeshua from the inside out Why I believe Yeshua did not die for your sins, what he actually died for, and how religion manipulated his message to keep people disconnected from their own power What it practically looks like to have a relationship with Yeshua as a brother rather than a Lord and Savior, and the simple invitation I use every day to call him in Why the kingdom of heaven is not a place you find in a book, a church, or through worship, but a state you access within yourself through feeling, breath, and coming home to who you actually are About Jake Whan Jake Whan is a spiritual leader, speaker, and breathwork facilitator devoted to restoring Christ Consciousness through embodied relationship with God.
