David Samuel — Spiritual Teacher | Author | Researcher | Motivational Speaker | HeartMath Trained | Co-Founder, Mystic Soul

David Samuel is a spiritual teacher, author, researcher, and co-founder of Mystic Soul whose life and work have been shaped by profound experiences of consciousness beginning in early childhood. Through vivid dreams, out-of-body experiences, and encounters with subtle dimensions of awareness, he developed an enduring curiosity about the nature of the soul, human potential, and humanity’s relationship with the Divine.

His early career as a music producer cultivated a deep understanding of emotion, frequency, and atmosphere — training that now informs the immersive meditations and transformational experiences he creates. What began as a mastery of sound evolved into an exploration of vibration and consciousness, forming the foundation of his work guiding individuals into expanded states of awareness and inner transformation.

David’s spiritual path is deeply influenced by early Christian mysticism and the contemplative traditions associated with the Essenes, whose devotion to inner purification, illumination, and direct communion with God shaped his understanding of spiritual formation. These teachings serve as part of the spiritual framework behind The Mystic Soul Experience.

Drawing from Hebrew mysticism, Kabbalistic thought, Hermetic philosophy, Zoroastrian cosmology, and visionary traditions such as Enochian practice, David translates ancient wisdom into language and practices accessible to modern seekers, creatives, and professionals. Inspired by thinkers such as Gregg Braden, his work also integrates emerging scientific perspectives — including neuroscience, epigenetics, quantum theory, and consciousness research — demonstrating that spiritual awakening is both experiential and embodied within human design.

David’s guided meditations are cinematic in nature, blending artistic composition with spiritual intention. Designed to help listeners shift internal states, release emotional burdens, and awaken deeper awareness, these experiences are often described as initiatory journeys that reconnect individuals with the intelligence and creativity of the soul.

Through Mystic Soul, David offers a contemporary Western path of awakening rooted in lineage, informed by science, and expressed through art. His mission is to help individuals remember who they truly are and step into lives marked by creativity, purpose, and spiritual realization.

Lisa LaGuardia Fischer , MA, LMFT
Psychotherapist | Spiritual Health & Wellness Coach | Co-Founder, Mystic Soul

Lisa LaGuardia Fischer is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California and Oregon, Board-Certified Health Coach, and Co-Founder of Mystic Soul. Her work is grounded in the understanding that emotional health, physical well-being, relationships, and a deeply rooted spiritual life are all interconnected — and that lasting change occurs when these dimensions are brought back into alignment.

With decades of experience supporting individuals, couples, and professionals, Lisa supports people in the inner work of healing, while also guiding them along a pathway toward deeper connection — with God, with themselves, and with others. She believes that as old wounds are understood and integrated, individuals become more open to receiving God’s love, recognizing their inherent worth, and awakening to the unique gifts, dreams, and direction placed within their lives.

Trained in Spiritual Depth Psychology at Antioch University Los Angeles, Lisa’s work is influenced by the teachings of Carl Jung, engaging the subconscious mind and attuning to what is often unseen yet deeply present within the therapeutic space. She draws from psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness practices, cognitive behavioral approaches, somatic awareness, and integrative health coaching, resulting in a whole-person–centered approach to well-being that honors the emotional, relational, physical, and spiritual dimensions of human experience.

A Certified HeartMath® Practitioner, Lisa incorporates heart-brain coherence techniques and biofeedback tools to support emotional regulation, strengthen self-trust, and cultivate greater harmony between mind, body, and spirit. Her approach is compassionate, grounded, and experiential, allowing insight, healing, and spiritual growth to unfold naturally through lived experience.

In addition to her clinical practice, Lisa has supervised and mentored clinicians as well as professionals across diverse industries, supporting leaders, creatives, and entrepreneurs in developing emotionally intelligent, values-aligned ways of living and leading. Her work extends beyond therapy into consulting, education, retreats, and transformational experiences through Mystic Soul.

Lisa’s work invites individuals into a process of remembering who they are beneath conditioning, aligning the many dimensions of their lives, and living with greater clarity, purpose, and heart-centered presence.

Jay Marshall Bernard, Ph.D. Research Physicist | Engineer | Author | Mystic Soul Ambassador

Jay Marshall Bernard spent 42 years at the frontier of human knowledge — not as a philosopher or a poet, but as a scientist. As a research physicist at The Aerospace Corporation in El Segundo, California, Jay dedicated his career to understanding, at the most precise and fundamental level, how the physical universe operates.

Trained in Engineering Physics at UC San Diego, Jay became one of the early pioneers of laser science — eventually contributing to Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative, where his research helped develop space-deployable directed energy technology. In the second half of his career, he certified the launch-worthiness of laser guidance systems for hundreds of Air Force and NASA satellites, including GPS and reconnaissance payloads that quietly shaped the modern world. His work earned two patents and numerous publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

Then everything changed.

Upon retirement, Jay lost his beloved wife, Gail — and what followed was what the mystic traditions call a dark night of the soul: a collapse of the life he had built, and an unexpected doorway into something far greater. His journey back required the kind of courage that no scientific credential can confer — the willingness to surrender what he thought he knew, and to ask an entirely different order of question.
With the support of therapist and Mystic Soul co-founder Lisa LaGuardia Fischer, Jay found his footing again — and in doing so, found his way to the teachings of David Samuel and the world of Mystic Soul. What he encountered there surprised even him. The rigorous commitment, discipline, and humility required to penetrate the nature of consciousness, the power of thought, and the ancient wisdom traditions felt immediately familiar — because it was the same interior posture he had brought to physics. Only the territory was vaster — and it would change everything he thought he knew.

As a physicist, Jay understands that what we call mystical experience is not separate from natural law — it is an expression of it, operating at a level most instruments cannot yet reach. The equations that once governed his understanding of light and matter now feel like the outer edge of a much deeper truth: that consciousness, not matter, is the generative force of the universe, and that the ancient wisdom traditions — from every corner of the world — knew this long before modern science began to confirm it.

Today, Jay stands as a living bridge between two worlds rarely in conversation — rigorous science and direct spiritual experience. He brings to Mystic Soul something irreplaceable: the voice of a man who spent a lifetime proving things, who walked through the fire of personal dissolution, and who emerged not with conclusions, but with a sense of wonder even greater than the one that first drew him to the stars.

The same precision of mind that revealed how the physical universe works is now being applied to understanding the spiritual one — and what he is finding is more extraordinary than anything he encountered in a laboratory.
