Guest Occupation: Health and fitness adept, CEO of Network Holdings LLC
Guest Biography:

Matthew David Hurtado is the CEO of Network Holdings LLC.  He has been involved in fitness and health supplements since the age of 15 years old, when he first fell in love with bodybuilding.

Matthew has overcome an eating-disorder, Lyme's disease with chronic fatigue syndrome, and PTSD, as well as having endured the financial strains of illness. After becoming successful in several different ventures and running the operations of companies doing millions-of-dollars in sales, Matthew noticed things he didn't like about the supplement industry.  One common denominator and theme kept showing up -- most health-supplement companies source inferior ingredients containing toxins and sell their product for thousands of times the actual cost of producing the product to the end consumer.  To make matters worse, many of the most successful supplements are sold via the endorsement of some doctor or health guru directly tied into the profits of the company.

In 2013, Matthew decided  that it was time to invest his own money and time into researching and developing a brand of products that he would feel safe having his own kids use.  This meant that ultra-pure ingredients and world-class manufacturing would have to be the backbone of the company, and cutting-edge science and innovative thinking would be employed to make these products affordable.  After hiring an elite staff of advisors, Matthew's dream became realized with the birth of Complete Ascentials in April of 2014.

Matthew enjoys playing guitar, spending time with his family, and his work is his passion.

Guest Occupation: Healing, Channelling, Stargate Facilitation
Guest Biography:

The Stargate is one of the leading-edge devices that can assist in the rapid expansion of human consciousness.  The Stargate is an inter-dimensional doorway that facilitates healing on all levels, DNA reactivation and the awareness of one’s Quantum Self.

Prageet – an English, internationally known channel – has for 25 years worked with his guide Alcazar and their creation, the Stargate, which is a conscious, sacred-geometrical structure that creates a powerful, multi-dimensional energy field – an energy that can take participants into a deep meditative state within moments.

Julieanne joined Stargates in 2012, discovering a strong connection to the Stargate’s guide Alcazar, who invited her to join the Stargate project. She now works with Prageet in the various Stargate presentations, not only channeling Alcazar, but also the Unicorns and "The Four Sisters of Cassiopeia", the consciousness of a constellation of stars.  She is also the creator and trainer of the Essence Energy Work.

Topics we'd like to discuss:

How did you get into the Stargate work?

What is the Stargate -

What is the most cutting edge aspect of your work?

We would like the Stargate's guide Alcazar to channel something, and we'd like to give a short energy experience to the audience... The Stargate energies can be felt by the listeners, and the energies give a first-hand experience of our work.

Looking forward to participating in your consciousness-raising show!  Thank you for creating it!

With Love,

Prageet & Julieanne

Guest Occupation: consciousness scientist, futurist, writer, management consultant
Guest Biography:

Elliott Maynard, Ph.D., is a leading-edge consciousness scientist and human potential pioneer who recently addressed millions of listeners on Coast to Coast Radio with George Noory.

The mass awakening and rising up of global consciousness with the Internet finds Dr. Maynard looking far beyond Quantum Field Science to design utilization of breakthrough capabilities for optimizing humanity’s future on all levels.

A true renaissance man, Dr. Maynard integrates traditional ‘linear’ science with the nonlinear quantum reality of new technologies and processes for resolving the systemic crisis facing global humanity.

We’ll be discussing his new book, Brave New Mind, Living in a Future-Science World, a window into ‘high touch’ high tech global solutions that Elliott calls "enlightened pathways into the future".

Those who appreciate the benefits of Effective Sensory Perception with right-brain intuition will love Dr. Maynard’s non-linear consciousness technology as relates to optimal health, new energy technologies and breakthrough revelations in the fields of Earth energies, interspecies psychic communications, exopolitics, Tesla technology and weather modification.

As a conceptual designer, Dr. Maynard has laid out a new paradigm ‘operating system’ for the future human, incorporating changes in consciousness such as ‘coherent thinking’ to reduce conflict at the quantum level. See ‘heart coherence’ and ‘quantum computing’.

During a period of time when his wife was helping create a school curriculum for the Hopi Indians, incorporating their world view to thrive in white man’s world, he created what he calls the University of the Future.

A new ecological worldview plus many other projects for culturing global society are highlighted on Dr. Maynard’s website.

With global humanity on the cusp of systemic enlightenment, welcome Dr. Elliott Maynard to Cosmic LOVE for insight and outlook as understands an overview of planetary enlightenment tools and processes.

Guest Biography:

Earth Wake is lead by Dillon James Byrne and powered by The Luvamp Project, an artists collective presenting art, media, and events that combine science of the heart, ritual traditions, and modern devotional music to amplify the frequency of LUV! Musicians ~ Miranda Rondeau, Tony Moss, Sunny Nixon, Sam Babayan, Daniel Pritchett, Sunny Solwind, Dylan James Byrne ~ combine music and elements of community ritual with soul-stirring visuals by Michael Strauss and Abhi Thati, and frequent guest artists, to create a community heart-opening, concert experience.

What’s love got to do with it?
Modern science may confirm what we intuitively know – that there’s a tangible connection between the heart, the mind and the world. Waves and vibrations connect us to the world and each other. Recent scientific research on heart-brain connection suggests that:

The heart is far more than a simple pump. The heart is, in fact, a highly complex, self-organized information processing center that profoundly influences the way we perceive and respond to the world. When we feel positive emotions like love, gratitude and compassion the heart and mind move into a state called, “coherence”.

The heart produces the largest rhythmic electromagnetic field in the body. And emotional information appears to modulate into that field impacting the world around us.

Hypothesis: Human emotion can have a measurable impact on the earth.
