Master Thyself: Bridging Heaven and Earth Through Inner Alchemy – An Interview with Igor Galibov

What if mastering yourself was the most important thing you could ever do, not just for you, but for everyone you love?

Igor Galibov has spent over twenty years not just asking that question, but living it. At just 24 years old, he went to accompany his sick mother to a faith healer, and ended up having an out-of-body experience that rewired everything he thought was real. He came home with abilities he didn’t ask for, a reality he couldn’t explain, and a burning mission to figure it all out.

Now, Igor is the founder of the Alignment of Light Academy and teaches others how to master themselves. He’s not your typical spiritual teacher. He’s also a successful businessman, a father, and someone who once found himself $150,000 in debt while trying to figure out how the universe works. That’s exactly what makes him so relatable and so powerful.

What do you sense is unfolding in our world right now? As you connect with students around the globe and hold a broader view of what’s happening, what feels like it’s emerging?

Igor Galibov: For me, my work begins by guiding people into their inner journey. As we go deeper within ourselves, we start to unveil the truth of who we really are — why we’re here — and begin releasing all the masks of who we are not.

As that internal process unfolds, we start to recognize that we have a symbiotic relationship with Gaia and the cosmos. Whatever has been taking place in the cosmos over the past couple of years is mirrored within us. There’s a relationship between the physiological experience, the spiritual aspect, and cosmology. When we connect all three, we begin to understand where we’re headed and what’s truly happening.

The “shadows,” as we call them, are no longer something we can comfortably operate from. People are turning inward. They’re asking deeper questions: Who am I really? What am I doing here? Am I on my path? Am I who I’m meant to be? What does my soul want? What is the soul? What is spirit? Is life just about working nine to five, or is there something more?

These questions arise because we’re also being bombarded by technology. Technology now gives us glimpses — a video here, a post there — and then a week later, something resurfaces in our awareness. It stays in the subconscious. It stirs something. And deep down, we know we need to transform.

Transformation is inevitable for all of us. The only question is: at what stage are we in that process?

Right now, we’re in a transition of truly knowing ourselves and taking control of our reality. But this world operates within duality — north and south, masculine and feminine, light and dark. We’ve been conditioned to swing from one extreme to another to find neutrality. And often, that transformation comes through chaos because we’ve been programmed to believe chaos is the only way forward.

Yet as we expand our awareness, we begin to realize: Wait a minute. I don’t have to go through chaos. I don’t have to swing from one extreme to the other. I can find my center. I can see the darkness and the light and recognize that both are valid — without being pulled into extremes. That’s where we’re heading: toward integration instead of polarization.

I’d love to hear about your own awakening. Can you take us back to 2004 and share what was happening in your life — and what led you to that life-changing trip to Brazil?

Igor Galibov: In 2004, I was 24 years old. You’re young at that age — thinking about where to go, how to party, how to enjoy life. None of these spiritual concepts were part of my reality back then. MSN Messenger was around, Google was just developing — it was almost like how AI feels today. It was the beginning of something new, but we didn’t really understand what it would become.

No, I didn’t have the beard back then. There were many things I didn’t have in 2004 that I have now. A lot of transformation happened after that.

That year, my mother got sick. Someone told her about a healer in Brazil, and she felt she needed to go. My father was working, so he said, “Why don’t you go with her?” And I thought, Okay, I’ll go to Brazil. Everything was taken care of. My plan was simple: I’d drop my mom off with the healer… and then I’d enjoy myself.

Was your mother into spiritual practices at that time?

Igor Galibov: No, she wasn’t. My parents weren’t really into spirituality. Even though I come from a religious lineage on an ancestral level, my mother and father were focused more on survival. We had migrated from the Soviet Union, so their mindset was practical — How do we live? How do we survive? It wasn’t about religion or spirituality for them.

My grandparents were more religious. So when they heard about this healer, they encouraged my mom to try it. She had already tried different doctors and healing methods, but nothing was helping.

What was wrong with her?

Igor Galibov: She had a tumor. And when they heard about this man who performed healings, they thought, Let’s see what he can do.

When we arrived in Brazil, it was fascinating for me to observe. At first, I was very skeptical. Everyone was dressed in white, walking through this small town outside of São Paulo to see this healer. I thought, Okay, I’ll just drop them off and do my own thing.

But suddenly something came over me — almost like an inner voice saying, Just go in there. So I went.

This man would go into a trance. His eyes would turn white. He did this three times a week — Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays — performing what he called spiritual surgeries.

What was his name?

Igor Galibov: John of God.

He would enter a trance and later claim he didn’t even remember what he did. Thousands of people came — literally between one and two thousand per day.

There were two types of surgeries: invisible and visible.

For the invisible surgery, you would sit down, meditate, and pray for about twenty minutes, and the “entities” would supposedly perform healing on you. The visible surgery was something else entirely — and I didn’t know anything about it at the time.

I was sitting in the room when I felt that same inner impulse: Get up. Stand in line. I didn’t question it. I just got up.

Was your mom already in line?

Igor Galibov: No, she had already finished her invisible surgery and was resting in her room.

So I stood in line. When I reached him, he asked if I wanted surgery. I assumed it was just a formality — that I’d walk in and walk out like everyone else. So I said yes.

He began speaking to me in Portuguese. I didn’t understand him, but there were translators nearby. As he approached me, I suddenly felt completely still — almost frozen.

He placed his thumb inside my mouth. The next thing I knew, I was out of my body, standing behind him, looking at myself.

I was trying to open my eyes, but I couldn’t. While watching myself, I saw his silhouette from behind his shoulder. He took surgical scissors, inserted them into my nose, and struck them with the palm of his hand.

When he hit them, I felt it — the scissors inside my skull. At the same time, I was observing the entire scene from outside my body. He twisted the scissors one way, then the other, and pulled them out. I spit out a little blood.

And then, suddenly, I was back in my body.

That moment completely changed my reality — what I believed, what I perceived, how I breathe, how I think, how I eat. Everything shifted for me.

This is mind-blowing. So what happens next? How do you process it? Do you go back to your room? Do you tell your mom? Walk us through it.

Igor Galibov: For the people who went there, it was a very unique environment. You had people from all over the world — rabbis, priests, shamans, doctors, lawyers, professionals. Even Oprah Winfrey had visited. Everyone came seeking some kind of healing, and everyone experienced something.

When you walked into that space, it felt like stepping into an energetic dome. The state of consciousness shifted immediately. I witnessed what I can only describe as miracles — children who arrived blind and left seeing, people who came in wheelchairs or with walkers and walked out without them. It was powerful.

Society can say whatever it wants, but until you experience something like that, it’s impossible to fully explain. It was like walking into Alice in Wonderland. You can’t truly describe it to someone unless they’ve felt it.

After my surgery, I stayed there for two more weeks. That’s when things went even deeper.

A man named Frank approached me and said, “My angels told me I’m supposed to meet you here.” I thought, What angels? What are you talking about? He asked if I had surgery. I said yes, but I didn’t understand what had really happened. He told me I had nine different surgeries performed on an energetic level.

Frank was a medium — clairvoyant and clairsentient. At the time, I didn’t even know what those words meant. So I tested him. I was still very rational, very grounded in the physical world. I wanted proof. I thought, Anybody can say anything. Tell me something real about me.

He began explaining that my chakras had been activated, that my energetic field had shifted. I didn’t even know what chakras were. Then he said I would need to learn how to protect myself. That caught my attention. Protect myself from what? I started asking questions. For the first time, I felt genuine curiosity.

After the surgery, I stayed in my room for 24 hours. When I closed my eyes, I felt what seemed like a ball of energy entering and exiting my body. I would open my eyes — nothing was there — but the sensations were real. I opened the door. No one was outside. Still, the energy was there.

The next day, when I left the room, I felt like I was wearing a hat. I touched my head — nothing. But the sensation remained. Then I felt as if my hands were dropping deep into the earth, into its core — even though physically they were still by my sides. I could feel the planet.

I thought, Okay, this is strange. I need coffee.

As I walked toward a café, I passed a cow. Suddenly, I could see through the cow’s body. I saw its organs. I had studied finance — I knew nothing about anatomy. Yet I could see the internal structure clearly. Without thinking, my hands energetically extended toward it. I felt as if I was holding the cow’s heart.

It was a real cow. And I could see inside it.

How were you making sense of this?

Igor Galibov: I wasn’t making sense of it. I was just experiencing it. I didn’t even question it in the moment — it just happened.

The following day, I searched for Frank and found him. He told me I needed to learn protection practices because I had been activated.

When I returned home, it became the most chaotic period of my life. I could see and feel everything I brought my awareness to — but I had no idea how to control it. I had what felt like power, but no wisdom. I was like a child in a playground.

My family thought something was wrong with me. They wondered if I had lost my mind. I began meditating constantly. I would travel into different dimensions and connect with beings from other realms. I completely disconnected from my friends and family. Their reality no longer felt real to me.

I didn’t even feel interested in being in this dimension.

Did you have resources you were drawing from — books, speakers, videos — or was this all happening through your own meditation?

Igor Galibov: At that time, there was almost nothing online. No speakers. Very few books. I remembered that when I was 16, my father had given me a book by Mantak Chia called The Multi-Orgasmic Man. Back then, I had no interest in it. I saw something about chakras and thought, I don’t need this, and tossed it aside.

After Brazil, I suddenly remembered that book. I found it, opened it — and immediately felt a surge. It was like my entire chakra system was activated. I could feel the wheels spinning.

About four months later, I visited Frank in London. He lived in a loft. One day, we were walking down the street when a homeless man suddenly started running toward me, shouting, “Energized!” I panicked and began running. And in that moment, I felt him throw what I can only describe as black, energetic goo into my body. It lodged in my knee, and my knee locked up. I couldn’t bend it.

We went back to the loft, and Frank tried to remove it energetically with his hands, but nothing happened. Then he grabbed a white book. The moment he brought it near my knee, the energy was absorbed.

I asked, “What is this book?” I opened it, and golden letters began flying into my face. I saw symbols, downloads of information pouring in nonstop.

That book was The Book of Knowledge: The Keys of Enoch by J.J. Hurtak and Desiree Hurtak.

I didn’t read either book in the traditional sense. I simply held them. But they became my spiritual connection to the consciousness behind the authors. For four years, I received information nightly — names of angels, guides, solar systems, constellations. I began exploring other dimensions.

You’re saying you didn’t read the books — you just held them?

Igor Galibov: Yes. We’re conditioned to believe that knowledge comes through the intellect, through memorization. But when you expand into higher consciousness, wisdom is already there. You just open the channel and receive.

The information comes when you need it. Trust is required.

Somehow, I felt this wasn’t new to me — like I had done this work in many lifetimes. I began connecting to what I call the Karmic Board — like a council. Just as we have governing boards here in the physical world, there are higher-dimensional councils that assist souls.

When we choose to incarnate, we choose experiences. There are beings — councils — that serve humanity. They’re not good or bad. They are tools. Just as math and geography are tools in school to help us navigate this world, these higher-dimensional beings are tools to help us navigate both the third and fifth dimensions.

For four years, I meditated 16 to 18 hours a day. At one point, I thought this physical reality wasn’t even real. I expected gold to fall into my lap. I ended up $150,000 in credit card debt because I believed the universe would just provide while I stayed in a blissful state.

Then I realized something important.

In meditation, I asked, “Do you have money up there?” The answer was no. They told me: You chose to incarnate into the third dimension. It’s your responsibility to create here. You’re open — so we give you guidance. But you must build it in your world.

That was a turning point. I understood that I had to merge 3D and 5D to become a co-creator in both realms.

Around that time, I read The Autobiography of Saint Germain. He wasn’t just mystical — he built schools, healed people, and created in the physical world. That showed me something. If I am a reflection of the Divine, and the Divine creates everything, then I must be capable of creating fully here, too.

I began studying energy bodies — not just the physical body, but the layers beyond it. I learned about the chakra systems, higher octaves, how they interact and merge into what’s called the causal body, and beyond.

I realized that if I were only operating through the physical body, I was using maybe 10% of who I truly am. So I dedicated myself to understanding how the energy bodies rotate, connect, and expand.

For years, I was curious about everything beyond this dimension. And although I was neglecting my physical reality at first, eventually that deep exploration helped me understand the limitless nature of creation — and how to transform belief systems from the inside out.

For those of us who aren’t deeply educated on all of these bodies, can you give us a quick “Energy Bodies 101”? What are they, what’s their purpose, and how do they interact?

Igor Galibov: The physical body is the starting point — that’s the core we’re most aware of. But from my perspective, we’re not inside our soul — we are inside our soul. The soul surrounds us. It’s a field. Our energy field expands roughly 50 feet in every direction. That’s the level of awareness our soul holds — it’s timeless.

Think of it like a toroidal field. The core of that field is who we are in physical form, but we’re not aware of the rest of what we are.

The first layer beyond the physical body is the etheric body. Sometimes, if you stare softly at someone, you may see a faint white outline around them — that’s the etheric layer. It’s connected to our infant self.

Then there’s the emotional body, connected to our inner child.

Next is the mental body, connected to our teenage self, our belief systems, and thought patterns.

These four together — physical, etheric, emotional, and mental — create what’s known as the astral body. Each of these layers has its own chakra system. The chakras aren’t only located in the physical body; they extend into the field and connect the different energy bodies.

Beyond the astral body is the causal body. The causal body holds the “cause” of your existence in this dimension. It contains information from what we perceive as past and future lifetimes — though in truth, they exist simultaneously. Information moves from the causal body through the astral layer and into the other bodies, eventually reaching physical awareness.

When people awaken, they often go through resistance. They start eliminating things — “This is bad, this is good. This aligns, this doesn’t.” They clear certain layers and then wonder why patterns return. It’s because they may have healed something at one frequency, but as they evolve, they access deeper layers — sometimes connected to other dimensions or lifetimes.

The key is aligning this dimension — the physical one. When this layer aligns, the others begin to shift as well.

Why is it important to understand life through this framework? How does this lens actually help someone?

Igor Galibov: It gives the physical mind structure.

We live in a dualistic, structured reality. If you build a house, you start with a foundation, then walls, then wiring, then the roof. But in higher dimensions, that structure doesn’t apply. You could begin with the roof and add the foundation last — and it would still work. The laws are different.

At one point, I wanted to live entirely in that higher realm because it felt effortless and joyful. But I wasn’t enjoying my physical life. So I had to close the gap.

The universe operates on cycles. The sun rises on time. Planets move on schedule. They don’t stop because they “don’t feel like it.” When we align ourselves with those natural cycles, transformation becomes easier.

Ancient civilizations understood this. The pyramids, Hindu temples, Mayan structures — they were built from an astral perception. The creators were operating from a higher octave of awareness. That’s why we still don’t fully understand them. They were perceiving reality energetically, not just physically.

Energy bodies are still your bodies — they just vibrate at higher frequencies. Each has its own rotational spin and function. When you understand this, you realize you are made of energy, not just matter. And if you change the energy, matter shifts.

Right now, humanity is only scratching the surface with positive thinking. We haven’t fully tapped into higher dimensions — into the astral twin, the causal angel, and the deeper service we’re here to embody. We are conduits of light — we’re just not aware of it.

Let’s go deeper into those terms. What is the astral twin? What is the causal angel?

Igor Galibov: The astral twin is essentially your counterpart in the astral plane. When you’re dreaming — when you leave the physical body during sleep — it’s your astral twin that’s active there. It’s still you, but operating in that dimension, interacting, learning, working on your behalf.

The causal angel is connected to the causal body — the higher aspect that oversees your soul’s journey across dimensions and lifetimes. Just as we have guidance systems here in the physical world, there are guiding intelligences in higher realms that assist in the unfolding of your soul’s path.

They are not separate from you. They are aspects connected to your greater field of consciousness — parts of your multidimensional existence that help bridge timeless awareness into this human experience.

Would you say the astral twin or causal angel is the same as the higher self?

Igor Galibov: No, it’s different.

I’m explaining this in linear terms so the physical mind can understand, but ultimately, in higher dimensions, all of it merges.

The higher self operates in its own octave, its own dimension. It has its own responsibilities within what appears to be a linear framework “up there.” Until we bring awareness to what is unconscious and make it conscious, these aspects continue to operate in their own layers.

But as you raise your awareness, you begin merging these layers. When you reach what I call the highest point of Christ consciousness — the monadic light — all separation dissolves. The physical, etheric, emotional, mental, and astral bodies merge into one unified field. They operate like wheels within wheels, moving in harmony.

From that unified state, the teachings of Yeshua, Buddha, Thoth, Isis, Osiris — they make sense. These beings operated from a higher mental and energetic structure. Their physical lives were expressions of geometric perfection in energy.

In the fourth dimension, there is still some duality expressed through geometry. Beyond the fifth, that separation begins to dissolve.

Let’s bring this into practical, everyday life. You’re saying shift the energy and the matter will shift — not the other way around. But someone listening might say, “That’s great, but I still have bills to pay, a marriage to navigate, kids to raise.” How do you actually teach people to shift their energy so their physical life changes?

Igor Galibov: This is exactly why I had to close the gap in my own life.

I have a business. I have children. For a long time, I wanted to stay “up there” — in the higher dimensions — because it felt effortless and joyful. But we are here to experience it all. You can’t truly help your partner, your children, or your friends if you don’t know how to help yourself.

Some people call that egotistical, but it’s not. When you learn to harness your energy and remain within the pillar that connects you to Source, you become a stable light. And that light radiates naturally. You don’t force it.

It’s like electrons. When one vibrates at a certain frequency, the ones nearby begin to resonate. Quantum science is starting to understand this. When you balance yourself — when you do your daily practice, sit with yourself, face your darkness, and bring it into light without resistance — your darkness becomes your guide.

Once you embody that stability, you can participate in your relationships without judgment. You stop labeling things as good or bad. You see your partner, your children, and your colleagues as expressions of Source, each reflecting something back to you for integration.

I had to learn this the hard way. I was $150,000 in credit card debt. I had to create a business. I would meditate deeply, visualize the result, build it energetically — and then I would get up and act.

Meditation is the feminine principle — the receptive, internal charge. Action is the masculine principle. We need both. If you only meditate, you create in the ether but not in the physical. If you only act without alignment, you create chaos.

We came here to create. If we only wanted to exist in the ether, we could have remained as souls.

Tell me how this actually plays out in your business. Are these face-to-face employees? Online? What does this look like practically?

Igor Galibov: It’s face-to-face.

I run a home care service business, and I also have a spiritual academy where I teach and where other teachers share their work.

In both spaces, we begin with meditation. We integrate. We connect to higher awareness and set an intention for how we want to work together.

If you’re an artist, you don’t just randomly start painting. You first hold a vision internally. Business is the same. The vision is first built in the astral plane— through clarity, geometry, and intention. When that structure becomes solid in stillness, then you act.

At that point, it’s not about “attracting” something new. It’s about aligning with an existing timeline. You’ve created the magnetic field. The structure is strong. The physical manifestation follows because the energetic blueprint is complete.

In your home care business — with the employees who actually care for people — do you gather with them to meditate? Is it weekly? How do you structure that?

Igor Galibov: There are internal staff who work in the office and caregivers who are out in the field. The managers and office team gather regularly — usually once a week, sometimes once a month depending on schedules — and we meditate together.

Even just that one weekly session sets the energetic tone for the entire week.

When someone gets hired, do you tell them upfront that meditation is part of the culture? How do you communicate that?

Igor Galibov: I don’t force it. I simply announce it.

We have a large conference room that we actually call the meditation room. I’ll say, “We’re gathering in the meditation room.” Everyone comes. We sit. We breathe. We connect. And the shift is immediate. The atmosphere in the office changes.

You can see it in performance. People become more emotionally balanced, more grounded — without consciously trying to “work on themselves.” It happens naturally.

Humanity is moving toward understanding the unseen world. The unseen — the astral structure — is what creates matter. So why try to force change at the material level? Build your etheric and energetic body first.

It’s like going to the gym. You don’t build muscle in one day. It takes consistency. The same applies to energy work. If you build strength in the unseen, success follows because you’ve created the dimension in which that success already exists.

Manifestation doesn’t work for many people because they stop at visualization. Sitting in meditation is only the first half. The second half is action.

Meditation is the feminine charge — receptive, internal, blueprint creation. Action is the masculine charge — building in the physical world. You need both.

If you wanted to work only in the ether, you could have remained as a soul. We came here to create.

And this philosophy is part of your Master Thyself course? Tell me about it.

Igor Galibov: The course begins with the physical body because it’s the processor. Our organs aren’t just digesting food — they process emotion and belief systems.

We start by aligning the physical body. Then we work with different regions of the brain. From there, we move into the energy bodies — understanding the relationship between the physical body and the etheric, emotional, and mental layers.

We examine karmic patterns within each layer. We move through the emotional body, the mental body, the astral body, and what I call the mind grid — how thought structures operate energetically. Then we enter the causal body and karmic healing, clearing patterns so each energy body can spin freely and harmoniously.

When the energy bodies align, something profound happens. The “hearts” of each layer — emotional, mental, astral — synchronize. And when they align, you begin to serve from the heart.

You’re no longer pulled in different directions by belief systems. You know how to come back to yourself.

That’s the key: learning how to return to alignment every day.

We wake up, step into the world, absorb influences, drop in vibration. The question is — how do you come back up?

For years, I would go into the world, absorb energies, and feel overwhelmed. I’d walk into a Walmart or a mall and come home needing two or three days to clear myself.

Then I realized something. The reason I was affected wasn’t because of the environment. It was because I was carrying judgment.

I had subconscious judgments — about people, products, behaviors — inherited from my parents, my ancestors, my community. Those judgments created energetic cords.

When I removed judgment within myself, I stopped being affected by what I called “darkness.” I could stand in it without being pulled down.

When you release judgment, you become a pillar — a vertical channel of light connecting you directly to Source. It’s like a fluorescent tube running through your chakra system, anchoring you upward.

From that place, nothing around you has power over you. What matters is your vertical connection — your alignment with your true Source.

Is that the ultimate goal of the Master Thyself course? What real-world results have you actually seen in people’s lives?

Igor Galibov: You can look at the success stories — but beyond that, you see it in people’s stability.

They experience healing. Their belief systems transform. Their emotional state becomes more balanced and organized. They’re no longer constantly triggered by family members or friends. They’re able to create in this world instead of reacting to it.

Many who work as healers notice something significant. Before, they would feel drained after sessions because they weren’t fully aligned. After the course, they understand where they’re operating from. They gain clarity about their channel and the messages they receive.

For me, the ultimate goal is independence — not financial independence, but energetic independence. A person who is fully connected to their Source, not dependent on the outside world for identity or validation.

If we were all walking around connected to that vertical alignment, there would be far less separation — less possessiveness, less “mine” and “yours,” less violence. Much of what we chase or fight over comes from wanting something outside of ourselves. When you know what is truly yours, there’s no need to grasp.

You talk about daily practice being essential to maintaining that connection. You offer guided meditations on YouTube and Spotify, and weekly on Zoom within your Alignment of Light community. Why do people resonate with them so strongly? What makes them different?

Igor Galibov: There’s a difference between speaking from personality and speaking from higher consciousness.

One of my personal practices was activating the throat center — not to speak my opinion, but to speak from Source. When words come from that place, you feel them. The vibration moves through the body.

Every Tuesday since 2014, I’ve offered free meditations. Anyone can join. It’s on Zoom. People can ask questions. For many years, I didn’t charge for anything. I simply shared.

I only began charging for structured courses around 2022 or 2023, not because I needed to, but because I realized people value what they commit to. There’s a responsibility that comes with investment.

I intentionally built a separate business so that my spiritual work wouldn’t be tied to financial pressure. I didn’t want to guide meditations, wondering if it would pay my bills. I do it because I genuinely enjoy it.

But what is it about these meditations specifically that makes them so effective?

Igor Galibov: When we gather collectively, something unique happens.

The information that comes through isn’t just personal — it’s collective. It’s wisdom arising from the group field. When people listen, they feel something shift inside themselves. That’s why they return.

The meditations aren’t just relaxation exercises. They’re about merging higher awareness into daily life — bringing what I call the fifth dimension into the third.

But the key is surrender. If someone comes in with expectations — “What will this do for me?” — they miss the point. When they simply allow themselves to be present, the experience unfolds naturally.

Do you plan your meditations ahead of time — themes, structure, trajectory — or are they completely in the flow?

Igor Galibov: They’re completely in the flow.

They’re never pre-recorded. I don’t script them. When I first began teaching, that was actually a struggle. People would ask for a syllabus. They wanted structure. And I would say, “I don’t know. Just show up. The information that comes through, I’ll relay it.”

Eventually, some of my students helped me create a structure for the courses. That’s how the Master Thyself framework developed. For me, operating in structure was difficult at first because I lived very fluidly in higher awareness. But my background in finance helped — finance is structured. So I learned to sequence the information in a way that the higher guidance could flow through more coherently for people.

That made the transformation easier. It allowed people to receive what I call “higher codes” in a grounded way.

I’m not an astrologer, but I feel planetary movements. Often, the meditations align with what’s happening collectively — energetically. Instead of giving forecasts, I translate that vibration into an experience through meditation.

Are your parents still with us? And what do they think about your transformation?

Igor Galibov: Yes, they are.

At first, they thought I was crazy.

About four or five years ago, I started leading men’s circles. My father joined one. During that circle, he had a profound heart activation — he felt heat moving through his chest and arms. It shifted something in him. Now he attends my classes, workshops, pilgrimages, and retreats. He’s one of my students.

That was a deep integration for me. At the beginning of our journey, we want our parents’ approval. We want them to understand us. When I released that need and simply continued doing my work, something shifted naturally.

We choose our parents for a reason. Through them, we connect to the Divine Mother and Divine Father — to our own DNA blueprint. If you want true liberation in this reality, you must learn to love your parents as they are — not change them, not seek their approval.

When you build that vertical pillar within yourself, the people around you shift. In Buddhism, they say when your parents become your students, you know you’ve done the work.

Maybe one day I’ll become a student of my children.

Karma is not punishment. It’s a cycle that allows us to become conscious creators instead of victims. The strictness of a father or the absence of love from a mother can become the very catalyst that shapes who you choose to become — if you see it from a higher perspective.

But that clarity only comes when we release the programming in our energy bodies. That’s why I teach — so people can remove those veils and recognize the power of the lineage and dimension they chose for their soul’s evolution.

You have a retreat in Turkey in June 2026. What makes it unique?

Igor Galibov: Turkey is a powerful, energetic gateway.

It’s known as the place where Mother Mary lived after the crucifixion of Christ. According to tradition, Yeshua asked John to take her there for safety. That region already held strong feminine energy long before Mary — the energies of Sophia and Artemis were revered there. The Temple of Artemis in Ephesus is one example.

The Council of Ephesus later formally affirmed Mary’s title as Mother of God in that region, and from there her veneration spread globally. The remnants of the Temple of Artemis and what is believed to be Mary’s house still stand.

Certain places on Earth hold what I would call chakra points — gateways that connect to higher dimensions. Egypt is one. Turkey is another. China has several as well.

During the retreat, we’ll walk those lands, activate the energy bodies, and work specifically with the divine feminine frequency. It’s a three-day immersion focused on expanding awareness and integrating higher aspects of the soul.

When someone truly experiences that space, it’s not about belief. It’s about what awakens within — love, joy, peace. The alignment with the Divine Mother energy becomes something internal, not conceptual.

And from that alignment, you don’t just visit a sacred site — you become a conduit for that frequency in your own life.

Where can people follow your work, connect with you, and sign up for Master Thyself and everything else you’re offering?

Igor Galibov: People can visit IgorGalibov.com or AlignmentOfLight.com.

On Alignment of Light, you’ll find not only my work but also that of other teachers in the growing community. All upcoming events are listed there — courses, pilgrimages, retreats.

We’re also planning another pilgrimage to Egypt toward the end of this year. I’ve led several journeys there, and they’ve been incredibly powerful and divinely guided experiences.

Everything — the Master Thyself course, the retreats, the Tuesday meditations — can be found through those platforms.

Igor, thank you. I’ve personally taken away several key insights from this conversation. I appreciate the work you’re doing in the world. It’s been wonderful to sit with you.

Igor Galibov: Thank you, David — and thank you to your beloved as well for creating this space and sharing these conversations with the collective. The work you’re doing — bringing lightworkers together — is its own form of service. You are a conduit of light in your own way. Thank you so much.
