It’s my hope that the information contained within this show will be of genuine support and upliftment to many out there. I highly encourage a listen.

Guesting are Kev and Ant of the Drake Michigan podcast. Here, they discuss many of the subjects which regularly feature on their main show.

We begin with Kev recounting his background as an (unwitting) psychic medium, and how his life has ended up taking an entirely different path to the one he’d planned – a phenomenon which will be familiar to many. The maxim ‘Man plans while God Laughs’ didn’t come about for nothing!

Ant relates some of the unexpected turns in his life also, including losing the pub business he had built up as a result of the Convid scam in 2021.

Is there a higher power guiding the lives of many of us in accordance with a bigger plan, and could this by why the plans we make for ourselves so often don’t go the way we’d anticipated?

This is the first of two parts. In part two, which will drop next week, we get into the issues of stress, anxiety and mental health disorders in these times. We consider why men in particular find it difficult to open up about such experiences, and discuss some coping mechanisms and solutions for all.

POSTCARDS FROM THE RESISTANCE

Click here to view the article:
https://kerrymurrayphotography.substack.com/p/portraits-of-the-resistance-vol-3?r=1w2500

I feel very honoured to have been one of the subjects of ‘Portraits of the Resistance,’ this outstanding new piece of work by writer and photographer Kerry Murray.

Kerry first approached me with the idea of a photo-book to stand as a permanent historical record of the anti-tyranny activism which took place during the pivotal days of 2020 and ’21. He had singled out a handful of individuals whom he felt had really stepped up to the plate and whose stories were worth sharing.

He’s since switched to running these as a series of stories on his Sub Stack platform, the high cost of print publishing being what it is.

Here’s my instalment. Huge respect and thanks goes out to Kerry for this, and you can find more of his outstanding work at:

Watch out for the future instalments coming to that page soon.

GOOD VIBRATIONS PODCAST, VOL. 242 – MARK DEVLIN INTERVIEWED BY IVAN FROM PHOENIX- THE GIFT & THE CURSE

Click here to hear the audio:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyjHsgfVk5I

As has now become tradition, Ivan from Phoenix re-appears as guest host, as he quizzes Mark Devlin about the latest of his books.

This one is the follow-up “truth fiction” novel to 2019’s ‘The Cause & The Cure,’ titled ‘The Gift & The Curse.’ Again set in the city of Oxford, “Illuminati Central,’ it catches up with the characters of the first story ten years on, against the backdrop of the terrible events of 9/11 in 2001.

Mark discusses with Ivan the process of putting such stories together, and what empowering messages can be delivered under the guise of “fiction.”

The book can be ordered now from Amazon, or signed copies are available from the author personally by e-mailing markdevlin2022@protonmail.com

It comes with its own movie-style soundtrack, which can be listened to for free from here:
