Summary

For over 30 years, Georgette Star, MA, D.Min, has dedicated her life to empowering adults and youth to live soul-embodied, joyful, and purposeful lives. An intuitive Soul Stream Life Coach & Mentor, and Method trainer, her own deep quest for Self-Realization informs all aspects of her work. Finding joy in sharing this journey with others and a calling to contribute to the greater good inspired her to found the Life Blessing Institute (LBI). This transformational learning community is designed to guide individuals on the journey of human potential, spiritual awakening, and actualization of their soul’s agenda. Through LBI, Georgette developed a variety of programs, including Maiden Spirit & Peace Warriors Youth Programs, Individual and Community Rites of Passage Celebrations and the Soul Stream Method Practitioner Training. Currently Georgette is also working on a documentary film titled The Woman’s Rite. The film examines the challenges of ageism faced by women (and all genders) and explores how these limitations can be transformed through creative expression, conscious rites-of-passage and spiritual awakening. It highlights the opportunity for women to step into empowered, vibrant, and respected elderhood, offering their wisdom, creativity, light, and love to a world that deeply needs their contributions. Georgette holds a Master’s degree from the Naropa Institute and a Doctorate of Ministry from the University of Creation Spirituality. Using her life experience, education and an array of natural abilities, Georgette actively pursues contributing to humankind however she can. In addition to her professional work, she cherishes being a mom, grandmother, artist, forest dweller and daughter of Mother Earth. She also finds joy in creating collaboratively with others and sharing the spiritual journey of awakening with her friends and colleagues.

0:00.0	The Welcome to Buddha at the gas pump.
0:27.7	My name is Rick Archer.
0:29.5	Buddha at the gas pump is an ongoing series of conversations with spiritually awakening people.
0:35.7	I've done over 700 of them now.
0:37.8	And if this is new to you and you'd like to check out previous ones,
0:41.0	go to batgap.com, B-A-T-G-A-P,
0:44.7	and look under the interviews menu.
0:46.9	I think we're going to still have that menu.
0:48.5	We're redesigning the website, but you'll be able to find it.
0:50.8	We're redesigning it so it'll be even easier to find things and look nicer.

1:10.5	I haven't mentioned this lately, but we have a bunch of

1:31.2	And another thing is we have this AI chat bot called the Backgap bot, which I don't know, about over 4,000 people have used it so far, and 5 or 600 people use it per week.
1:41.1	And it's loaded with tens of thousands, over 100,000 documents of a bat-gap
1:47.9	nature, spiritual and philosophical stuff, as well as 1,700 of the world's sacred texts.
1:54.2	So you could call it a vertical bot, meaning it's a specialist in this kind of content,
2:00.5	as opposed to a horizontal bot like chat GPT,
2:03.9	which gobbles up everything on the internet, and it's kind of diluted if you really want to ask spiritual or philosophical questions.
