Skeptics to Seekers: Time Slips, Ghosts & Fear-Free Content - Will Rodriguez & Karen Endsley
In this inspiring episode of Soul Elevation, I welcome Will Rodriguez and Karen Ensley, the co-hosts of the popular Skeptic Metaphysicians Podcast. Together, they share their powerful stories of spiritual awakening, the role of healthy skepticism, and the importance of discernment as we navigate the mysteries of consciousness.
Their chemistry is warm, witty, and deeply grounded, making even the most mystical ideas feel relatable. Will brings curiosity, humor, and the perspective of someone who once identified as a skeptic but has since experienced undeniable metaphysical moments. Karen offers intuitive wisdom, heart-centered discernment, and stories of her lifelong connection with the unseen.
The “One Truth, Many Paths” Philosophy
At the heart of their mission is the philosophy of One Truth, Many Paths. Will describes this through a beautiful metaphor: God standing on a mountain of truth, losing His footing, and pebbles tumbling down to Earth. Each person picks up a pebble and proclaims, “I have the truth,” when in reality, each pebble is just a fragment of the greater whole. More on this here:
This perspective has shaped their podcast and their new platform, New Reality TV, which features content from a wide variety of spiritual traditions and modalities—all rooted in love, light, and community rather than fear or sensationalism.
Mystical Stories & Unexplainable Experiences
Throughout our conversation, Will and Karen shared extraordinary experiences that defy logic:
-
Reality shifts—such as a missing microphone nut that inexplicably reappeared in Will’s pocket after vanishing before witnesses.
-
A life saved by spirit—Karen recalls a terrifying break-in during her younger years when a ghostly presence woke her just in time to escape danger.
-
Everyday miracles—from milk cartons that mysteriously refilled to uncanny synchronicities, reminding us that the universe is alive with magic if we choose to see it.
These stories are not just curiosities; they serve as reminders that our reality is multi-layered and that openness allows us to witness the extraordinary. Hear more about Karen's remarkable story here:
The Role of Skepticism and Discernment
Will and Karen emphasize the difference between skepticism and discernment. Skepticism, when rooted in cynicism, can shut down growth. But discernment helps us navigate spiritual paths safely and responsibly.
They share candidly about having to remove certain podcast episodes or decline guests when the content didn’t align with their values. Their commitment is clear: elevate consciousness without feeding fear, division, or blind belief.
New Reality TV: A Safe Space for Exploration
One of the exciting projects Will and Karen have launched is New Reality TV, a streaming platform designed as a conscious alternative to mainstream spiritual media. It offers interviews, meditations, films, and community—without sensationalism, fear-mongering, or politics.
Think of it as “Netflix meets Gaia—without the fear response.” It’s built on the same foundation as their podcast: creating a safe, heart-centered space for seekers of all backgrounds.
Listen & Be Inspired
This conversation is packed with laughter, wonder, and deep wisdom. Will and Karen remind us that spiritual awakening doesn’t mean abandoning curiosity. Instead, it’s about holding multiple truths, trusting our own experiences, and using discernment to guide us.
If you’ve ever wrestled with skepticism or wanted to explore spirituality with both heart and reason, this episode is for you.
