Higher Density Living Podcast

Summary   Explore the mystical parallels between the Tarot and the Gospel of John in this profound conversation with Professor Eric Cunningham. Delve into Christian Hermeticism, Rudolf Steiner's esoteric insights, and the role of the Fool as a cosmic archetype. This episode offers seekers a fresh lens on spiritual initiation and inner transformation through symbolism, scripture, and soul.   Overview   In this illuminating episode of Higher Density Living, Jason Rigby welcomes back Eric Cunningham, Professor of History at Gonzaga University and a leading voice in esoteric studies and Zen thought. With expertise in modern Japanese intellectual history, Anthroposophy, and spirituality in the digital age, Eric bridges Valentin Tomberg's Meditations on the Tarot with the mystical Gospel of John to reveal a shared path of Christian initiation.   Together, they explore how the Major Arcana — from the Fool to the World — mirror the spiritual evolution depicted in the Gospel.

Psychic Hygiene Is Non-Negotiable: Ground, cleanse, and shield daily to prevent energetic overwhelm—crystals like labradorite and black tourmaline are game-changers. Shadow Work Requires Honesty: Obsidian's razor-sharp reflection cuts through illusion, while smoky quartz uplifts and excavates buried pain. Local Rocks Hold Power: Don't chase rare gems—flint, granite, and limestone connect you to the Earth's stabilizing pulse. Skeptics, Start with Metaphor: Crystals' cultural and symbolic value is undeniable, even if you're not ready to embrace their energy. Spaciousness Unlocks Wisdom: Stillness and patience let crystals “whisper” their ancient insights—try Nicholas's crystal contemplation practice.   Memorable Quotes: “Crystals never forget who they are. They're always calcite, always quartz. We humans, we're chaotic—crystals help us remember our true selves.” — Nicholas Pearson “Compassion isn't always fluffy. Sometimes it's obsidian saying, ‘No more bullshit, let's fix this now.'” — Nicholas Pearson “You don't need a rare gem to change your life. There's magic in the flint by your doorstep.” — Nicholas Pearson “Be willing to be wrong. That courage opens the door to what crystals can teach you.” — Nicholas Pearson   Actionable Steps to Start Your Crystal Journey Cleanse Your Crystals: Use smoke (sage, frankincense), sound (clapping, toning), or breath (pulsed nasal exhale) to reset their energy. Check material safety first—some stones don't mix with water or sun. Shield as an Empath: Carry labradorite for selective filtering, black tourmaline for grounding, or amethyst for sovereignty. Meditate with them to visualize a protective membrane. Try Crystal Contemplation: Hold a stone, turn it in light, feel its texture, and breathe in its qualities. Notice shifts in your body, mind, and emotions. Start with 5 minutes daily. Engage Local Rocks: Collect flint, granite, or limestone from your area. Meditate with them to anchor into your environment's energy. Face Your Shadows: Work with obsidian for honest reflection or smoky quartz to uplift heavy emotions. Journal what surfaces to integrate insights. Neutralize Tech Overload: Place shungite or smoky quartz near devices to adapt disruptive energies. Spend time in nature to recharge.   Resources Mentioned Book: Crystals for Psychic Self-Defense by Nicholas Pearson (https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B01E4TQMJU?ccs_id=405540a5-9eba-445d-8d5b-f63b4a6be82f) Crystals: Labradorite, black tourmaline, amethyst, obsidian, smoky quartz, shungite, flint, tantalite Reiki: Nicholas's pilgrimage to Mount Kurama and ongoing practice Marcel Vogel: Pioneer of modern crystal healing (https://www.satyacenter.com/pages/the-marcel-vogel-archive)   Why You Should Listen This episode isn't just about crystals—it's about owning your energy in a chaotic world.

Episode Overview:    In this captivating episode of the Higher Density Living Podcast, host Jason Rigby sits down with Dr. Rick Strassman, a world-renowned psychedelic researcher and author of the groundbreaking book DMT: The Spirit Molecule. Known for his pioneering clinical research on DMT and his deep explorations into altered states of consciousness, Dr. Strassman brings a unique perspective to the table as he dives into the Book of Genesis. Together, they explore the intersections of biblical narratives, Jewish tradition, and the spiritual insights gleaned from his decades of psychedelic and personal inquiry.   From the creation accounts to the Fall, the Flood, and the Tower of Babel, this episode unpacks Genesis through a lens that blends science, spirituality, and prophetic wisdom. Dr. Strassman shares his journey from Zen Buddhism to Judaism, his literal approach to interpreting biblical texts, and how his DMT research informs his understanding of human consciousness and divine interaction. Whether you're a spiritual seeker, a psychedelics enthusiast, or simply curious about the deeper meanings of Genesis, this episode offers a thought-provoking and enriching discussion.   Meet Dr. Rick Strassman   Born in 1952 in Los Angeles, California, Dr. Rick Strassman is a clinical psychiatrist, psychedelic researcher, and author whose work has reshaped our understanding of consciousness. After graduating with honors from Stanford University in biological sciences and earning his medical degree from Albert Einstein College of Medicine, he built a distinguished career in psychiatry and psychopharmacology. His groundbreaking DMT studies at the University of New Mexico in the 1990s marked the first U.S.-approved psychedelic research in over two decades, earning him global recognition.   Dr. Strassman's books, including DMT: The Spirit Molecule (a quarter-million copies sold and translated into over a dozen languages) and DMT and the Soul of Prophecy, bridge science and spirituality. His latest work, My Altered States (December 2024), is an illustrated memoir exploring his personal experiences with altered states from birth to early adulthood. Currently a Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine, Dr. Strassman resides in Gallup, New Mexico, where he continues to write and consult for psychedelic startups.   Connect with Dr. Strassman: Website: rickstrassman.com Books: Amazon Author Page Joe Rogan Appearances: 2022 Episode | Earlier Episode   Key Topics Discussed:   1. Genesis Through a Jewish Lens   Dr. Strassman shares how his return to Jewish texts after leaving Zen Buddhism in 1996 shaped his understanding of Genesis. Raised in a conservative Jewish household, he re-engaged with the Hebrew Bible as an adult, finding parallels between the vivid experiences of his DMT volunteers and the prophetic visions of biblical figures. Two Creation Narratives: Genesis 1 offers a cosmic, orderly account, while Genesis 2 zooms into a detailed, human-focused story. Dr. Strassman views them as complementary—an overview followed by specifics—reflecting a divine act of creation from nothing. Divine Order and Cause-and-Effect: He explores how Genesis reveals God's nature through the laws of cause and effect, suggesting that nature itself mirrors divine will.   2. The Fall: Free Will and Consciousness   The conversation delves into Adam and Eve's disobedience, which Dr. Strassman frames as the first exercise of free will with explicit consequences. He challenges the notion of the fruit as a psychedelic, instead emphasizing its role in shifting human perception from truth to the duality of good and evil. Shabbat as Eternal Rest: Jason raises the idea of the Sabbath lacking an “evening and morning” close, hinting at an eternal state. Dr. Strassman connects this to emulating God's rest, though he notes the Hebrew Bible avoids afterlife specifics.   3. Cain, Abel, and the Flood: Sin as a Virus   From Cain's envy-driven murder of Abel to the violence (Hebrew: Hamas) preceding the Flood, Dr. Strassman sees these stories as literal events encoding lessons about human nature and societal decay. The Flood, he suggests, was a divine reset prompted by humanity's failure to align with God's intent. Sons of Elohim: Theories range from angels to elites interbreeding with humans, disrupting divine order. Dr. Strassman remains open but grounded in the text's ambiguity.   4. Tower of Babel: Misunderstood Ambition   Dr. Strassman offers a fresh take on the Tower of Babel, arguing it's less about hubris and more about humanity's refusal to disperse post-Flood as God commanded. The scattering, he posits, fulfilled an original divine plan, with the tower as a symbol of misdirected unity.   5. Abraham's Covenant and Monotheism   The patriarchal narratives (Genesis 12–50) shift focus to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. Dr. Strassman highlights Abraham's call as a pivotal revelation of monotheism, questioning why Abraham was chosen—a mystery deepened by Midrashic tales of his iconoclastic zeal. Egypt's Role: He attributes Egypt's prominence to its cultural dominance, akin to the modern U.S., rather than mystical significance.   6. Prophecy, Psychedelics, and the Living Word   Drawing from his DMT research, Dr. Strassman theorizes that prophetic visions might stem from endogenous DMT spikes, serving as a bridge for divine communication. He views Genesis as a prophetically received text, resonating with readers through its altered-state origins. Is the Bible Living? While Jason sees it as God's living word, Dr. Strassman approaches it as a guidebook to cause and effect, enduringly relevant but not inherently “alive” beyond its influence.   7. From Zen to Judaism   Dr. Strassman reflects on his shift from Zen Buddhism—where he felt alienated by iconography—to Judaism's monotheistic grounding. This transition, sparked by personal and professional changes, led him to a more literal, grounded study of biblical texts.   Memorable Quotes On DMT and Reality: “When volunteers said it felt ‘more real than real,' I learned to take it at face value—it opened up the strangest, most fascinating parts of their experiences.” On Genesis: “If you assume it's real, you can enter its world and learn what it's like. It's complex and rich in ways you miss if you see it as just archetypes.” On Prophecy: “The Hebrew Bible's appeal lies in its prophetic state—it's like reading a text that tingles with divine resonance.” On Monotheism: “It's not about whether it's wise—it's about whether it's true.”   Why You Should Listen   This episode is a rare fusion of psychedelic science and biblical exegesis, offering fresh insights into Genesis from a thinker who's explored both the outer edges of consciousness and the depths of Jewish tradition. Dr. Strassman's literal yet open-minded approach challenges conventional interpretations, making this a must-listen for anyone interested in spirituality, human potential, or the mysteries of existence.   Resources & Links Books by Dr. Rick Strassman: DMT: The Spirit Molecule – Buy on Amazon DMT and the Soul of Prophecy – Buy on Amazon My Altered States (Dec 2024) – Buy on Amazon Joe Rogan Episodes: 2022 Interview Earlier Interview Dr. Strassman's Website: rickstrassman.com   Call to Action   Enjoyed this deep dive into Genesis with Dr. Rick Strassman?

SEO Keywords: shadow self, poison plants, occult herbalism.   03:48 - Personal Story: Shadow Work with Poison Plants Coby shares how Saturn-ruled plants (e.g., nightshades) require slow, gradual work, drawing out empowering and shameful shadow aspects.

Keywords: phytonosis, plant spirits, spiritual communication.   20:57 - The Otherness of Poison Poison historically "others" groups (e.g., Jews, women, witches), yet grounds us in the earthly realm. Contrast: Unlike celestial psychedelics, poison plants keep you rooted. Keywords: otherness, poison history, grounding spirituality.   25:22 - Veneficium: Love Potions and Poison Venusian plants blur love and harm (e.g., ancient aphrodisiacs doubling as poisons).

Introduction   Welcome back to Higher Density Living! After a brief hiatus, hosts Alexander McCaig and Jason Rigby reunite in the studio, buzzing with life's latest revelations. Jason returns from a European adventure, while Alexander steps into fatherhood with the birth of his son, Gabrael. Together, they unpack the profound alchemy of parenting—blending raw spiritual awe with biological evolution. This episode, Part 1 of a two-part series, invites listeners to explore creation's edge, where innocence meets potential and exhaustion reveals divinity.   Hosts Bio Alexander McCaig: Co-host of HDL, a consciousness seeker and new father, sharing transformative insights from his journey into parenthood. Jason Rigby: Co-host, spiritual guide, and father, back from a European trip, weaving travel tales with deep reflections on the human condition.   Key Discussion Points 1. The Return and Life Updates Jason kicks off: “We're back! My gosh, it's been some time. You've really been gone—you've been busy.” Alexander: “I've been gone ‘cause I had a newborn recently—one of the most transformational experiences of my entire life.” Jason: “You were in Europe too—Napoleon, Corsica. But yeah, we're both fathers now. Kind of wow, right?”   2. Fatherhood as Creation's Mirror Alexander: “The power of creation at the human level—another human growing inside a human because two came together. It's not just physical, it's deeply spiritual.” Jason: “It's a symbolization of creation growth—innocence and potential, that's all that's there.” A renewal moment: The newborn reflects creation's essence—pure, unfiltered, and brimming with possibility.   3. Innocence and Potential in Newborns Jason: “What I love from a spiritual perspective is seeing innocence and potential—so beautiful, we forget it.” Alexander: “They're helpless, needing 100% of your attention—like tending the most delicate crops.” Jason: “They're not desensitized like us—they see the world fresh, and we can't limit that.”   4. The Responsibility of Self-Awareness Alexander: “You need self-control and self-awareness to not impress your stifled energy onto the child.” Jason: “Everything you bring to their care opens their potential—or stifles it. There's two options.” Alexander: “You'd want the maximum and the best—hoping they take your best and step above you. That's evolution's point.”   5. Biological Evolution in Parents Jason: “Parents undergo shocking transformations—gray matter increases, prefrontal cortex and hypothalamus grow for bonding.” Alexander: “Oxytocin's through the roof—your senses max out, supercharging your brain.” Jason: “Evolution doesn't stop; having a kid accelerates it for both parent and child.”   6. Sanctification Through Chaos Jason: “Sleepless nights and constant care—it's sanctifying, a space for divine presence.” Alexander: “Try this: Use the newborn as a candle—gaze into their eyes silently. You'll be shocked how long they hold your attention.” Jason: “It's pure connection—a meditation.”   7. The Energy of Naming (Gabrael's Story) Alexander explains naming his son Gabrael Rowin: “Energy in names matters—spelling and meaning align with creation's patterns.” Why “Gabrael” (AEL spelling): “An older, primordial form meaning ‘might of creation,' synced with birth timing and Chaldean numerology.” Rowan: “‘One who lives in righteousness'—congruent energy for his potential.” Jason: “I love that—it's not just a name, it's intentional energy.”   8. Awe and Exhaustion as Spiritual Gifts Jason: “Why do we feel awe in exhaustion after birth?” Alexander: “It's creation reminding you of true purpose—a visceral truth you've ignored, demanding your attention.” Alexander: “You could feel this awe every moment if you paid attention, but the baby forces it. Look at the raw power and beauty.”   Memorable Quotes “The power of creation at the human level—it's a renewal.” – Alexander “Innocence and potential—that's all that's there in a newborn.” – Jason “Your brain evolves as much as the child's—evolution doesn't stop.” – Jason “Creation wakes you up: Look at the raw power and beauty of this.” – Alexander   Resources Mentioned HDL Podcast Archives: Explore all episodes at higherdensityliving.com Coming Soon: Part 2 of this fatherhood series—stay tuned!   Call to Action Subscribe to Higher Density Living for Part 2 and more consciousness explorations.

Host: Jason Rigby   Guest: Selina Maitreya, Spiritual Leader, Author, and Teacher of Practical Spirituality   Introduction:  In this mind-expanding episode of Higher Density Living, host Jason Rigby welcomes Selina Maitreya, a trailblazing spiritual teacher and author of Raise Your Frequency, Transform Your Life. After surviving a life-altering car crash and channeling a decade of divine downloads, Selina unveils a radical truth: every irritation—traffic jams, rude cashiers, even personal crises—is a secret doorway to oneness. Together, they explore how shifting your frequency, not just your thoughts, unlocks peace and purpose in the messiest moments. Packed with gritty stories and practical tools, this episode is a wake-up call to live spiritually in the real world.   Guest Bio: Selina Maitreya is an internationally acclaimed lecturer, author, and pioneer of Practical Spirituality—a hands-on approach to weaving higher consciousness into daily life. Her latest book, Raise Your Frequency, Transform Your Life (June 2024), is a workbook born from a decade of pain and divine guidance following a 2013 car crash that left her with a traumatic brain injury. From bankruptcy to breakthroughs, Selina's journey proves that responding to life's difficulties with love transforms everything. She's launching a Raise Your Frequency Transform Your Life Work Study Group in June 2025 to guide others in embodying this wisdom. Learn more at practicalspiritualitywithselina.com.   Key Discussion Points: 1. Everyday Chaos as a Spiritual Doorway Selina: “Traffic jams, rude cashiers—these are gold. They're opportunities to respond from love, not ego.” Jason: “People think spirituality is a cave and meditation, but you say it's right here in the mess.” Spirit's message: Difficulty exists so we can access our higher frequency—love.   2. Frequency vs. Thinking: The Game-Changer Jason: “Self-help says ‘change your thinking.' You say ‘change your frequency.' Why's that the fix we've missed?” Selina: “Thoughts are dense 3D structures—frequency is the building block. Shift that, and the brain follows effortlessly.” Science twist: The brain recognizes frequency, not new ideas—EEGs prove it's alive with energy.   3. Practical Oneness in Action Selina's phone hold story: “I said, ‘If I sound irritated, it's me, not you'—and flipped a woman's terrible day.” Pickle jar moment: Helped a grieving woman in a supermarket, turning fury into kindness. Jason: “That's oneness—your love connects to theirs, beyond the ego.”   4. Ego's Sneaky Trap: Personalization Jason: “Why do we make it about ‘me'—the narcissistic monkey mind?” Selina: “It's conditioning—low frequency lands, and we match it. Love gives a new pathway.” Insight: High frequency (love) kills victimhood; ego thrives on it.   5. Free Will: Saying No to Love Selina: “Free will is choosing yes or no to the divine as guidance—we've said no since kids.” Jason: “That shook me—why do we reject love?” Selina: “Fear's the default until we see the divine's power.”   6. The Brain Injury Book Miracle Jason: “You couldn't type or talk, yet Spirit said, ‘Write a book.' How?” Selina: “Five years of phone recordings, two years typing—seven years blind, trusting the divine.” First read: “I saw it after my editor—it blew me away. These tools kept me sane.”   7. Breakdown to Breakthrough Selina's chaos: Ditched a relationship, filed bankruptcy, moved multiple times—all while writing. Jason: “Most call that a breakdown—you call it a breakthrough. How'd you stay sane?” Selina: “A deep divine relationship pre-crash, plus daily practices like going quiet and asking, ‘What's the higher purpose?'”   8. Pain as an Alarm Clock Jason: “You say pain's not a dead end—it's an alarm. Explain that to someone in a health crisis.” Selina: “It's an alert to choose high frequency—feel gratitude in your heart, person by person, to shift the experience.” Example: Her student with vertigo lessened it through gratitude practice.   9. A Call to Action in Crazy Times Selina: “We're all called now—boots on the ground or shining a light. Respond with love in every moment.” Jason: “That's service—not just for us, but the oneness field we share.” Quote: “If we all responded from love, we'd be in a different place.”   Memorable Quotes: “Difficulty is your chance to shift—thank the cashier, thank the jerk in traffic.” – Selina “Change your frequency, not your thoughts—it's efficient, it's divine.” – Selina “Love's the only energy we all share—ego's pain is different, but oneness is universal.” – Selina “Pain's an alert—choose gratitude, and it's not the same.” – Selina “We're called now—every response from love is service.” – Selina   Resources Mentioned: Book: Raise Your Frequency, Transform Your Life by Selina Maitreya (June 2024) – Order at practicalspiritualitywithselina.com Work Study Group: Raise Your Frequency Transform Your Life Work Study Group – Starts June 2025, details at practicalspiritualitywithselina.com/work-with-selina/ Website: practicalspiritualitywithselina.com – Explore Selina's teachings and story   Call to Action: Grab Raise Your Frequency, Transform Your Life and start practicing today!

Host: Jason Rigby   Guest: Ashley M. Ryan (Pythian Priestess)   Guest Bio: Ashley M. Ryan, known as Pythian Priestess, is an initiated priestess in a Hermetic Order dedicated to the Goddess Auset (Isis). With over half her life dedicated to studying and practicing magick and witchcraft, she rose to TikTok fame in 2019 and founded the Pythian Mystery School in 2020. Ashley is a spiritual leader, educator, and advocate for reclaiming the sacred feminine in its wholeness—light and shadow alike.   Episode Overview: In this powerful and thought-provoking episode, Jason Rigby welcomes back Ashley M. Ryan, the Pythian Priestess, to discuss her evolving journey as a spiritual leader and the fierce, unapologetic nature of the divine feminine. Ashley shares her insights on sacred rage, the commodification of spirituality, and the importance of integrating the shadow self. Drawing from ancient archetypes like Black Isis, Kali, and the Black Madonna, she offers practical rituals and wisdom for women seeking wholeness in a world that often dilutes the sacred. The conversation explores themes of truth, resilience, and the balance of light and shadow, challenging the "love and light" narrative with a call to embrace the wild and transformative aspects of spirituality.   Key Themes:   1. Sacred Rage and the Warrior Archetype Ashley steps into the "warrior archetype" as a woman, not to destroy, but to defend truth, the sacred, and the mysteries (01:40). She connects this to her astrological birth chart (Saturn and Mars in the sixth house), emphasizing service and discipline (01:40).   2. The Dilution of Spirituality Ashley expresses grief over the commodification of spirituality, watching it become a "branded ATM" rather than a transformative tool (02:35). She critiques spiritual bypassing and the avoidance of pain, especially post-LA fires (03:32).   3. The Dark Goddess and Wholeness Referencing Dancing in the Flames by Woodman and Dickinson, Ashley explains the absence of the dark goddess in modern society and its damaging effects (04:41). Archetypes like Kali, Black Isis, and the Black Madonna embody resilience, fierce love, and the integration of suffering (16:06, 20:00).   4. Thumos: The Spirited Fire of the Soul Ashley introduces the ancient Greek concept of Thumos—righteous anger that defends truth and honor—contrasting it with the "love and light" narrative (10:39). She ties this to Plato's chariot allegory and the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot's Chariot card, symbolizing balance between the soul's appetites and higher aspirations (14:05).   5. Embracing the Shadow Ashley emphasizes that the shadow is not an enemy but a part of wholeness, urging listeners to alchemize pain into wisdom (33:50, 35:15). She shares a personal story of a nightmare at 15, revealing unexpressed rage and the unconscious mind's role in healing (23:04).   6. Practical Rituals for Integration Ashley offers two rituals: mirror gazing with a candle to confront the soul (28:38) and scrying with a black bowl to uncover unhealed wounds (30:11). She stresses the importance of action post-ritual, such as therapy or inner child work (32:53).   7. Fear and the Occult Addressing fear around witchcraft and the occult, Ashley attributes it to societal conditioning and the rejection of feminine archetypes (42:16). She invokes Ma'at (balance and justice) as a source of boldness to face suffering and reclaim the sacred (40:42).   Detailed Timestamps: 00:01 - Introduction: Jason welcomes Ashley back, noting her journey as Pythian Priestess and the success of her prior episode. 00:41 - Ashley's Current Calling: Ashley discusses stepping into the warrior archetype to defend truth and the sacred, inspired by her birth chart (Saturn and Mars in the sixth house). 02:35 - Sacred Rage and the Pythian Mystery School: Ashley reflects on the commodification of spirituality post-LA fires and her mission to restore its depth through the Pythian Mystery School and her podcast, The Occult Unveiled. 04:41 - The Dark Goddess: Introduction to Dancing in the Flames and the societal lack of the dark goddess, with Ashley advocating for women to "take up the sword" against patriarchal imbalance (05:25). 10:39 - Thumos and Truth: Ashley explains Thumos as righteous anger, linking it to Plato's chariot allegory and the tarot's Chariot card (14:05). She ties it to four virtues: wisdom, justice, courage, and temperance (12:00). 16:06 - Black Isis and Black Madonna: Ashley explores Black Isis as a symbol of suffering and resilience (17:13) and the Black Madonna as wisdom and realism (20:00), forged in chaos and fierce love. 22:08 - Teaching Wholeness at Pythian Mystery School: Ashley uses dreams and meditations to help students confront the unconscious and embrace the dark goddess (22:36). She shares a personal nightmare as an example (23:04). 28:38 - Practical Rituals: - Ritual 1: Mirror gazing with incense and a candle to see beyond the mask (28:38). - Ritual 2: Scrying with a black bowl and an invocation to uncover unhealed parts (30:11). 33:50 - Embracing the Shadow: Ashley reframes the shadow as a source of strength, not evil, and shares her hypnosis therapy experience to alchemize pain (37:07). 38:40 - Fostering Righteous Anger in the Mystery School: Through meditations, students meet archetypes and receive symbolic gifts (daggers, keys), fostering self-understanding (39:42). 42:16 - Overcoming Fear of the Occult: Ashley attributes fear to societal rejection of feminine archetypes and credits Ma'at for her boldness (40:42). 47:32 - Where to Find Ashley: Ashley shares links: pythianmysteryschool.com, Etsy (Pythian Priestess) for tarot readings, and YouTube for Pause with Pythian and free classes.   Notable Quotes: Ashley on Sacred Rage: "There is a lot of rage right now in our society... It is a warrior for truth. It's a warrior for the sacred and to defend the mysteries." (01:40) On Spirituality's Dilution: "I'm watching it become an ATM for people. It's lost its meaning and it's a tool that should be used." (02:35) On the Dark Goddess: "Light is blinding. Light hurts. It's about breaking through illusion." (10:11) On Thumos: "It's the passion and the fire in my soul to bring back the sacred into the world." (14:05) On the Shadow: "You can turn the poison into medicine because the change in the integration is saying, ‘Okay, so this is the symptom.'” (37:07)   Resources Mentioned: Book: Dancing in the Flames by Marion Woodman and Elinor Dickinson (available on Amazon, eBay, and Internet Archive).

Host: Jason Rigby   Guest: Pam Montgomery   Guest Website: wakeuptonature.com   Podcast Mission: Higher and Saint Living (HDL) aims to explore profound topics that elevate consciousness and foster a deeper connection to the world around us. In this episode, we dive into humanity's relationship with nature and the transformative power of plants with Pam Montgomery.   About Our Guest: Pam Montgomery   Pam Montgomery is an author, teacher, international speaker, and self-described Earth Elder who has dedicated over three decades to exploring the intelligent and spiritual nature of plants and trees. She is the author of two acclaimed books: Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness and Partner Earth: A Spiritual Ecology. Her latest work, Co-Creating with Nature: Healing the Wound of Separation, serves as the foundation for this episode's discussion. Pam operates the Partner Earth Education Center at Sweetwater Sanctuary in Danby, Vermont, a space dedicated to co-creative research and sustainable living with nature. She teaches globally on plant spirit healing, spiritual ecology, and the concept of humans as "Nature Evolutionaries." Pam is a founding member of United Plant Savers and the Organization of Nature Evolutionaries (O.N.E.), and her current passion lies in facilitating plant initiations to guide humanity back to its symbiotic roots.   About Sweetwater Sanctuary   Located in Danby, Vermont, Sweetwater Sanctuary is a sacred space where Pam and her team honor the land, water, and all beings through prayer, ceremony, and offerings. It's a haven for optimal learning and deep healing, encouraging visitors to awaken to natural rhythms and engage in loving kindness. The sanctuary fosters a profound connection with nature, enhancing the sense of sanctuary for all who visit.   Episode Overview   In this episode of the HDL Podcast, host Jason Rigby sits down with Pam Montgomery to explore her book Co-Creating with Nature: Healing the Wound of Separation. Recorded on March 29, 2025, this conversation dives into the consciousness of plants, their role as our elders and partners, and how reconnecting with nature can heal both ourselves and the planet. Pam blends scientific insights, personal anecdotes, and spiritual wisdom to offer a practical yet profound roadmap for living in harmony with "sweet Lady Gaia."   Key Discussion Points 1. Plants as Conscious Partners (03:12 - 06:46) Pam argues that plants are not just alive but conscious beings capable of communicating with us through vibratory resonance (light and sound). She emphasizes their essential role in sustaining life—providing oxygen, food, and medicine—and warns that our disconnect from them is dangerous. Jason references scientific studies showing plants responding to music and words, sparking a discussion on how everything vibrates, including humans and plants.   2. How to Communicate with Plants (06:46 - 13:14) Pam explains that plants fine-tune their resonance to us more effectively than we do to them because they are simply themselves, undistributed by human distractions. Practical tip: Be present with a plant, let it choose you (via attraction, movement, or intuition), and notice the sensations it evokes in your body (e.g., tingling, softness). She introduces biophotons—particles of light at the nucleus of our cells—that create a "laser" of coherence for two-way communication with plants, even across time and space.   3. Plant Initiations and Healing (13:14 - 18:06) Pam contrasts chasing external spiritual practices (e.g., gurus, crystals) with the power of "backyard weeds" like mugwort, which can heal us deeply through symbiotic connection. She shares a story of poke root appearing in her Vermont garden in 2020, a potent immune-supporting plant, as an example of nature responding to human needs. Plants show up where they're needed, offering gifts we often overlook due to our lack of attention.   4. The Wound of Separation (19:11 - 22:22) Pam traces humanity's separation from nature back 12,000 years to agriculture and empire-building, which led to an "amnesia" of our interdependence with the land. This original wound has cascading effects: separation from self, others, and the planet, resulting in widespread illness and disconnection. Biophilia—our innate love of nature—underscores how we're designed to live closely with plants.   5. Uncomfortable Truths and Nature Evolutionaries (22:58 - 26:17) The biggest lie we tell ourselves: Humans are the "crown of creation" and more intelligent than nature. Pam challenges this, citing Darwin's coerced narrative and nature's model of cooperation over competition. On her website, wakeuptonature.com, Pam calls us to become "Nature Evolutionaries," partnering with nature rather than relying solely on technology to "save" the planet.   6. Nature's Communication Networks (26:17 - 33:11) Pam shares a powerful story of a Puyo—an underground waterway portal in Vermont—where she and her husband, guided by Ecuadorian curandera Rocio Alarcon, heard forest spirits sing after a ritual with ayahuasca. She compares nature's mycelium network to the internet, highlighting its efficiency and biomimicry potential.   7. Signs of a Consciousness Shift (33:11 - 37:53) Pam sees plants leading humanity's spiritual evolution, citing the 1960s explosion of consciousness-expanding plants (cannabis, peyote, mushrooms) and modern practices like flower essences and plant initiations. Skeptics miss this hidden sign: Plants have always preceded their animal counterparts in evolution, and they're now guiding us toward unity consciousness.   8. Diving Deeper into Nature (37:53 - 43:23) Unlike spiritual paths that reject the material world, Pam's approach embraces nature as divine, present in everything—not a distant deity. She describes daily "wow moments" (e.g., sunrise walks in Belize) that release oxytocin, the bonding hormone, fostering restoration and connection over stress (cortisol). 9. Healing Through Plants (46:52 - 50:19) Pam cites biophysicist Fritz Popp's discovery that plant biophotons can repattern unhealthy cells' light toward health, offering a cellular-level explanation for plant healing. Beyond science, plants uplift us emotionally and spiritually—e.g., the awe of a redwood forest or the scent of roses—because healing is one of their primary gifts.   10. Mugwort as a Teacher and Soulmate (50:49 - 54:57) Mugwort (Artemisia spp.), known as "Oona, the first herb," moves stagnant energy, aids dream recall (nighttime and shamanic), and reconnects us to our wild, undomesticated selves. Associated with Artemis and the moon, it supports women through life transitions and is a key ally in spiritual healing.   11. Closing Thoughts and Upcoming Projects (56:11 - 58:06) Jason praises Co-Creating with Nature as a timely wake-up call with a heartbeat, inviting listeners to heal themselves and the planet through reverence for nature. Pam previews her work: Plant Initiations: Ceremonies where plants act as elders, guiding us to be "truly human." Offered at Sweetwater Sanctuary and worldwide. Year-Long Course (September 2025): With Emma Fitchett, training facilitators for plant initiations. Online Course: "Co-Creative Partnership with Nature" (8 months).

Host: Jason Rigby   Guest: Elizabeth Anne Johnson, Animal Healer and Author Book: Know Your Dog's True Nature: Understanding Canine Personality through the Five Elements (Findhorn Press/Inner Traditions Episode Overview   In this enlightening episode of the HDL Podcast, host Jason Rigby welcomes Elizabeth Anne Johnson, an animal healer with nearly 40 years of experience and the author of Know Your Dog's True Nature. Together, they explore the ancient Five Element Theory from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as a sacred map to understanding canine personalities and the profound spiritual bond between humans and dogs. From the soul-level pact forged centuries ago to the karmic mirroring of rescue dogs, this conversation unveils how our furry companions guide us toward healing, self-discovery, and a deeper connection to nature.     Key Segments and Highlights   Introduction (00:00 - 01:06) Jason's Welcome: Jason introduces the episode with enthusiasm, highlighting Elizabeth's book and its promise to decode the soul of dogs through the Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. He frames dogs as more than pets—sacred guides reconnecting us to our wild hearts. Elizabeth's Greeting: Elizabeth expresses her excitement to join Jason and dive into this fun, spiritual exploration.   The Ancient Soul Pact Between Humans and Dogs (01:06 - 04:47) Question: Jason references a poetic line from the book—“Dogs too have endured and thrived beside us as we have beside them”—and asks about the soul-level pact humans made with dogs centuries ago. Elizabeth's Insight: She describes this pact as rooted in “kindred respect” between two natural beings—humans and dogs—meeting with curiosity and a sense of safety. Historically, dogs helped humans hunt and find food, while humans offered warmth, companionship, and protection. This 50-50 exchange has evolved into a modern pact where humans strive to hear dogs' voices and honor their wild essence. Practical Tip: Elizabeth encourages letting dogs spend time outdoors to stimulate their senses, a nod to their feral roots, enhancing the bond and their happiness.   The Five Elements: An Elemental Awakening (04:47 - 05:13) Jason's Prompt: Quoting the book's line about the Five Elements providing “X-ray vision” into a dog's personality, Jason sets the stage for a deep dive into Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water, noting their dual role in understanding dogs and ourselves. Elizabeth's Macro View: She frames the Five Element Theory as a 5,000-year-old, nature-based “mindful guidance system” fostering compassion, empathy, and understanding across species. Rooted in her personal journey—finding solace in nature amid a challenging childhood—the theory connects behaviors to natural cycles, offering a lens beyond mere archetypes.   Exploring the Five Elements (05:13 - 39:09) 1. Wood Element: Spring and Growth (07:46 - 14:22) Overview: Associated with spring, Wood dogs are determined, purposeful “army sergeants” (e.g., Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds, Rottweilers) excelling as working dogs in military or police roles. Traits: Athletic, fearless, competitive, with a need for movement and direction. Their emotional default is anger, manifesting as aggression or frustration in dogs. Spiritual Angle: Jason probes the interplay of energies when Wood dogs' growth isn't guided. Elizabeth explains their energy seeks movement; without clear boundaries, they take over, reflecting a need for humans to lead with presence and heart-centered direction rather than force. Practical Tip: Set consistent boundaries and offer gentle praise (“good dog”) to channel their potential, avoiding overstimulation with excessive rewards.   2. Fire Element: Summer and Joy (14:22 - 22:32) Overview: Fire dogs embody summer's joy, acting as magnetic “divas” (e.g., Golden Retrievers, Border Collies with red hues) who thrive on social connection and adoration. Traits: Charismatic, playful, prone to separation anxiety, with barking and licking as their sense expressions (tongue). Their emotional default is “disturbance of the Shen” (panic, anxiety) when overstimulated. Spiritual Angle: Fire's heart-centric nature leaves lasting impressions, reflecting humanity's draw to fire for warmth and memory-making. Elizabeth shares how these dogs linger in people's hearts long after they're gone. Practical Tip: Ground yourself and use the Yin Tang acupoint (between the eyebrows) to calm their heart fire, restoring balance during anxiety spikes.   3. Earth Element: Late Summer and Nurturing (22:32 - 24:50) Overview: Earth dogs, tied to late summer, are quintessential caregivers (e.g., Labs) who love family, kids, and routine, offering gentle, nurturing energy. Traits: Kind, generous, slow-moving, with a knack for service roles like Reading with Rover or disease detection. Their emotional default is worry or obsession. Spiritual Angle: Mirroring Earth's role in sustaining life, these dogs caretake unconditionally, teaching humans reciprocity with nature. Practical Tip: Maintain a peaceful, routine-based home to meet their need for stability and comfort.   4. Metal Element: Autumn and Purpose (24:50 - 28:22) Overview: Metal dogs, autumn's purposeful “librarians” (e.g., Jack Russells), are intelligent, driven, and inflexible, excelling in search and rescue with their strong noses. Traits: Methodical, reserved, with a deep need for purpose and trust. Their emotional default is grief, especially after loss. Spiritual Angle: Reflecting metal's mined rigidity, they teach precision and loyalty, challenging humans to earn trust through consistency. Practical Tip: Provide quiet recovery spaces and purposeful tasks (e.g., hiking, scent work) to honor their drive.   5. Water Element: Winter and Wisdom (28:22 - 39:09) Overview: Water dogs, winter's empathic shapeshifters, embody wisdom and sensitivity, often rehomed due to visceral fear (e.g., Labs in a broader sense, but defined by behavior, not breed). Traits: Deep, quirky, reflective, with hearing as their sense and a tendency to mirror human fears. Many, like Elizabeth's Pretzel, have traumatic starts. Spiritual Angle: Jason asks about fear and wisdom's alchemy. Elizabeth shares how water dogs' fear drives growth, reflecting karmic wounds (e.g., her own fearlessness turned off, now relearned). They push humans to face inner fears for mutual healing. Practical Tip: Offer patience, quiet presence, and trust-building to help them adapt, recognizing their role as spiritual teachers.   Preparing for a Soul Bond with a Dog (39:09 - 44:18) Question: Jason asks how to spiritually prepare for meeting a dog and ensure a soul bond beyond superficial attraction. Elizabeth's Advice: Be Present and Grounded: Quiet the mind, feel your feet, and breathe to let your heart—not brain—lead. Heart as Voice: Process through the heart first, then let the mind follow   Links: Purchase the book: ElizabethAnneJohnson.com/books Watch Elizabeth's TEDx Talk: Four Life Lessons from Our Old Dogs Websites: ElizabethAnneJohnson.com | 4LeggedWellness.com Instagram: @5elementdogs Facebook: ElizabethJohnson4Leggeds | Profile LinkedIn: 4LeggedWellness    

Host: Alexander McCaig Guest Host: Mark Snider   Key Themes: Consciousness and spiritual exploration Understanding and confronting negative thought patterns The power of journaling and meditation Deep grooves of habitual thinking and overcoming addiction Impact of external circumstances (weather, interactions) on internal states Episode Summary:   Opening: Hosts discuss the essence of living consciously and exploring the boundary between visible and spiritual worlds.   Introduction with Mark Snyder: Mark discusses journaling experiences, noting how external conditions like weather influenced his emotions. Alexander emphasizes how external factors like weather don't inherently carry negativity; rather, it's our perception and thoughts about them that create emotional responses.   Discussion on Journaling: Mark shares excerpts from his journal, reflecting on how writing down thoughts helps manage emotional reactions. Alexander highlights journaling's importance for recognizing patterns and gaining clarity.   Meditation and Thought Management: Mark speaks about rediscovering meditation, noting how it clears unnecessary mental clutter and rejuvenates enthusiasm. Alexander reinforces meditation's value in synchronizing brain hemispheres and promoting mental clarity and balance.   Deep Grooves and Negative Thoughts: Alexander elaborates on how repetitive negative thinking creates deep grooves in consciousness. Overcoming these grooves requires awareness, persistence, and patience with oneself, understanding that setbacks are natural parts of the process.   External vs. Internal Influences: Discussion focuses on distinguishing between actual external influence and perceived victimhood. Alexander stresses that blaming external factors leads to victim mentality, whereas embracing self-responsibility is empowering.   Real-Life Application and Mindfulness: Alexander advises confronting internal lies and false self-narratives to foster genuine personal growth and success. He emphasizes establishing positive, progressive thought patterns to build resilience against life's adversities.   Spiritual Growth and Authenticity: Authenticity arises from deep self-awareness and truthfulness, empowering one to interact genuinely and confidently without ego-driven barriers.   Current Events - California Fires: Discussion pivots briefly to the California wildfires, highlighting mismanagement, arson, and societal behaviors during crises.

Together, Jason and Dr. Schnell dive into the messy truths of emotions, boundaries, and productivity, offering actionable strategies to turbocharge emotional intelligence and live a more intentional life.   Guest Bio: Dr. Audrey Schnell Credentials: M.A. in Clinical Psychology, Ph.D. in Epidemiology and Biostatistics Experience: Over 40 years researching why and how people change Mission: Enables clients to stop self-sabotage, eliminate emotional triggers, and achieve their goals by identifying blind spots and mastering emotions Impact: Helps individuals and businesses build long-term relationships, turn difficult clients into success stories, and reach peak performance Achievements: Featured speaker at retreats, frequent podcast guest, and founder of two successful online summits featuring 20+ top experts in healing and peak performance Personal Life: Lives off-grid on 40 acres in rural West Virginia with her husband and dogs Website: audreyschnell.com     Key Topics Discussed   Boundaries: The Ultimate Power Move (00:36 - 06:51) Why We Struggle with Boundaries: Dr. Schnell explains that boundaries are less about others and more about self-care—what we're willing to accept or not. Many fail to set them due to a need to be liked, hypervigilance, or fear of rejection. Practical Tip: For entrepreneurs, set time boundaries (e.g., no client texts at 6 a.m. unless it's a true emergency). A simple automated response like “I've seen your message and will reply soon” can ease the pressure. Jason's Insight: Entrepreneurs often get addicted to busyness, feeding off high cortisol levels and the need to feel wanted. Saying No to Good Things: Dr. Schnell highlights the challenge of rejecting appealing opportunities that derail focus—a lesson reinforced by Jason's anecdote about a billionaire who mastered saying “no” to amazing offers.   2.  Emotional Intelligence for Everyone (12:14 - 18:22) Underrated EI Skill: Empathy is the game-changer we're sleeping on. It's about understanding others' feelings, not just feeling them (empathy vs. sympathy). Cultural Traps: Jason notes society's victimhood obsession, asking how narcissists can develop empathy. Dr. Schnell debunks the overuse of “narcissist” labels and urges people to escape survival mode to unlock self-awareness and empathy. Practical Application: In relationships, aim to connect, not win. Start conversations from shared goals (e.g., “We both want to retire by 70”) and ask curious questions like “What made you say that?” instead of arguing.   3. The Science of Getting Things Done (09:15 - 11:41, 21:24 - 28:10) Dr. Schnell's Journey: Her shift from clinical psychology to research (sparked by the rise of computers in the ‘80s) taught her discipline and the power of starting overwhelming projects. Fear of Finishing: People avoid completing projects due to fear of imperfection or uncertainty about “what's next.” Dr. Schnell calls BS on perfectionism—it's often avoidance or lack of commitment, not a noble trait. Discipline Equals Freedom: Procrastination stems from relying on urgency rather than motivation. Jason ties this to his own shift from fear-driven hustle to intentional discipline, noting it protects the nervous system.   4. Dumbest Emotional Traps and How to Escape (29:09 - 37:18) The Trap: Worry and selfishness top the list. Worry is “praying for the outcome you don't want,” draining energy without purpose. Selfishness shows up when we obsess over ourselves instead of serving others (e.g., coaches fixating on client perceptions). Climbing Out: Take care of your nervous system first—hunger and fatigue amplify toddler-like meltdowns. Self-awareness is key: name your feelings (e.g., “I'm agitated”) to contain them, and don't trust them as facts. Jason's Take: Society's feelings-obsession (especially among younger generations) reflects a pendulum swing from repression to indulgence, fueled by our brain's energy-conserving wiring.   5. Decision-Making and Overthinking (38:58 - 44:26) Why We Overthink: Survival instincts overestimate task difficulty and underestimate post-task relief, stalling action. Visualization can trick the brain into thinking a job's done, reducing motivation. Solutions: Set a timer for 15 minutes to start, lean on discipline over habits, and anchor decisions to identity (e.g., “I'm not an average person” stopped Dr. Schnell from mindless scrolling). Jason's Game: He challenges his ego's comfort-seeking, realizing unchecked indulgence leads to stagnation.   6. Saying No Without Guilt (46:24 - 50:04) The Guilt Trap: People (especially women, per Jason) say “yes” to draining relationships or tasks to avoid discomfort. Guilt isn't inherently bad—it can motivate—but unchecked, it's self-focused. How to Say No: Reflect on the “why” behind guilt (e.g., “Will I feel like a bad person?”). Weigh the cost to yourself vs. others, and practice sitting with uncomfortable feelings instead of caving.   7. Three No-BS EI Strategies (51:50 - 55:00) Watch More TV: Observe others' behaviors in media to spot what you don't want to emulate (e.g., whining). Feel Your Feelings: Name and own them—don't suppress or over-trust them for decisions. Believe in Yourself: Focus on competence and courage, not fleeting confidence. Practice beats imposter syndrome every time.   Memorable Quotes Dr. Schnell: “Boundaries are really about us and what we are willing and not willing to do.” Jason: “We can get so caught up in daily tasks that we look at people as ‘Did you perform?' instead of having empathy for them as a human.” Dr. Schnell: “If one more person says they work better under pressure, nobody works better under pressure—they just work.” Dr. Schnell: “Feelings aren't facts. Don't trust your feelings.” Jason: “Discipline equals freedom—that's so true.” Dr. Schnell: “What you name, you contain.”     Resources Mentioned Dr. Schnell's Website: audreyschnell.com Upcoming Docu-Series: “How to Have Vibrant Health, Wealth, Freedom, and Live the Life You Desire” – Launches April 1, 2025 (details on her website, Facebook, and LinkedIn) Social Media: Follow Dr. Schnell on Facebook and LinkedIn     Final Thoughts   This episode is a masterclass in emotional intelligence, blending Dr. Schnell's 40 years of expertise with Jason's relatable insights as an entrepreneur and seeker of higher living.

Introduction (0:04 - 0:41) Opening Theme: The episode kicks off with the Higher Density Living Podcast intro, urging listeners to "look within" and explore the edge of seen and unseen realities with Alexander McCaig and Jason Rigby, focusing on consciousness and the human condition.   Welcome and Weather Talk (0:42 - 7:15)   Host Greeting: Mark Snider welcomes listeners back to Ohio Exopolitics, noting a massive winter storm forecast to hit 30 U.S. states with heavy snow and cold—the worst in over a decade. Guest Check-In: Alexander, in Santa Fe, expresses envy for the snow, citing its benefits for skiing, hiking, and water supply from the Sangre de Cristo mountains. Mark, in Ohio, anticipates 3-5 inches, potentially snowing him in. Local Anecdote: Mark shares a recent guitar gig in Zanesville amid harsh weather, surprised by the turnout despite wind and cold. Alexander admits he avoids depressing news, unaware of the storm forecast. Trump Tangent: Mark brings up Trump's provocative ideas—reclaiming the Panama Canal (ceded by Jimmy Carter), acquiring Greenland, and annexing Canada as states. Alexander critiques this as hegemonic U.S. overreach, advocating for a quieter approach, echoed by Mark's Bible quote (1 Thessalonians 4:11) about leading a simple life and minding one's business. Weather Forecast Demo    Tech Experiment: Mark shares his screen to play a weather report, testing audio-visual integration. Alexander confirms he can see and hear it. Weather Update: The forecast predicts heavy snow (6-19 inches) across Dayton, Cincinnati, Kansas City, and the mid-Atlantic (Maryland, D.C., Pennsylvania) by Monday, with residual rain and wind in Alabama and Nashville. Mark's area faces 6 inches—manageable compared to harder-hit regions. Cats in Comfort: Post-demo, Mark mentions his garage cats, kept warm at 60°F with wall-mounted heaters, prompting a lighthearted exchange about their spoiled nature. The Might of Thoughts:    Book Discussion: Mark shifts to Might of Thoughts (page 240), reading: “Human habits such as the maintenance of wrong thoughts… leave behind deep grooves in the consciousness, which must be slowly repaired.” He asks Alexander about these “grooves.” Alexander's Insight: Likening them to worn paths in the woods, Alexander explains that repeated unhealthy thoughts carve mental ruts, making change harder. Positive repetition, like chess or physics, builds beneficial pathways, staving off dementia. Protesting Wildly: Mark highlights the passage's note on “negative tendencies protest wildly.” Alexander compares this to noxious weeds—stubborn, requiring truth (like fire) to uproot them, leaving fertile ash for growth. Errors in reorientation, he adds, are natural steps toward wisdom.   Law of Intactness    New Concept: Alexander directs Mark to page 272 (or nearby) for the “Law of Intactness,” describing it as a birthright of equilibrium—a blank slate of health and personality. Human choices (bad thoughts, habits) erode this, accelerating decay in bodies, ecosystems, and even metals (rust). Reflection of Thought: He ties rust's rapid spread to toxic human actions and mindsets, neglecting this law. Parents unwittingly pass these ruts to kids, amplifying the effort needed to restore balance. Preserving Intactness: Mark asks how to maintain it. Alexander emphasizes self-awareness and controlling thoughts, not letting them dominate. Memorizing affirmations (e.g., “I am the master of my destiny”) pairs with physical work to forge wisdom. FIGU Trailer and Closing   Screen Share Redux: Mark shares a FIGU (Free Community of Interests Universal) trailer, introducing Billy Meier's work—often met with skepticism online due to suppressed truths. The trailer stresses critical thinking over blind belief and the “secret sciences” stifled by power structures. Reaction: Alexander appreciates the reminder of others pursuing truth, though the circle is small. Mark finds it inspiring amid their own efforts. Transition Tease: Mark pivots to Omfalon Murado (OM), a book of commandments   Themes Explored: Weather's impact, human consciousness via Might of Thoughts, and the search for truth against systemic resistance.   Next Episode Tease: Likely a deeper dive into OM and FIGU's implications, plus Alexander's take on preserving mental and planetary health.  

Welcome back to Higher Density Living! In this captivating fourth (or fifth!) episode, co-host Jason Rigby is joined once again by the brilliant Dr. Eric Cunningham, a Professor of Philosophy at Gonzaga University and an expert in modern Japanese intellectual history, Zen Buddhism, Catholicism, psychedelia, and eschatology. Together, they dive deep into the mysterious world of secret societies through the lens of Rudolf Steiner's profound teachings—a topic that bridges the physical and spiritual realms like never before.   Dr. Cunningham, a former naval officer turned academic, shares his fascinating journey into Steiner's esoteric philosophy, sparked in 1989 by a friend who introduced him to Knowledge of the Higher Worlds and Its Attainment. What followed was a decades-long exploration of Steiner's vast body of work—over 70 books and hundreds of lectures—that seamlessly connects spirituality, history, and human evolution. As a practicing Catholic with a passion for Zen Buddhism and Asian mysticism, Cunningham brings a unique perspective to Steiner's ideas, blending rigorous scholarship with metaphysical insight.   In this episode, we explore Steiner's views on secret societies—described as “lines of connection” between the material and spiritual worlds. From the Rosicrucians' pursuit of conscious immortality to the Illuminati's entanglement with Ahrimanic (materialistic) forces, Cunningham unpacks the distinction between societies seeking esoteric wisdom and those chasing temporal power. Steiner's cosmic framework reveals a timeless struggle between “left-hand” and “right-hand” brotherhoods—rebellious spirits resisting divine evolution versus those embracing self-sacrificial love.   We journey through history, examining how spiritual impulses, not just material causes, shaped events like the Renaissance and Industrial Age. Steiner's radical perspective challenges conventional narratives, suggesting that the modern world's obsession with “fitness over truth” (as echoed by Donald Hoffman) reflects the triumph of Ahrimanic forces. Cunningham also delves into the 19th-century esoteric revival—Freemasonry's expansion, the Golden Dawn, and the OTO—connecting these movements to Steiner's fifth post-Atlantean epoch and the karmic shifts of industrialization.   The conversation takes a dark turn as we confront the Nazis' suppression of esoteric groups like Steiner's Anthroposophical Society, alongside their own occult obsessions (think Thule Society and Maria Orsic). Were these crackdowns a karmic backlash against Ahrimanic tendencies? And how do they tie into modern conspiracies like Operation Paperclip and the rise of technocrats like Wernher von Braun?   Fast forward to 2025: Cunningham speculates on what Steiner would see in today's world—AI, media consolidation, and geopolitical tension. Is artificial intelligence the ultimate Ahrimanic threat, stripping humanity of its capacity for independent thought? Or can we resist by cultivating “enthusiastic attentiveness” and piercing the hidden power structures Steiner warned about?   Plus, get a sneak peek into Cunningham's book, The Luciferic Verses: The Daodejing and the Chinese Roots of Esoteric History (available now on Amazon—link in the show notes!). This groundbreaking work explores Luciferic influences, Chinese mysticism, and even dragons—yes, dragons!—across cultures. Jason also teases an upcoming episode on tarot and Aleister Crowley, inspired by his personal dive into the Waite deck.   Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro: Secret Societies and Rudolf Steiner 02:34 – Dr. Eric Cunningham's Journey into Steiner's World 05:20 – Defining Secret Societies: Esoteric Wisdom vs. Temporal Power 08:25 – Steiner's Take on Rosicrucians, Illuminati, and Historical Forces 13:00 – Freemasonry's Role in the 19th Century and Beyond 18:05 – The Dark Side: Death, Control, and Ahrimanic Brotherhoods 23:17 – Golden Dawn, OTO, and Aleister Crowley's Hollywood Legacy 28:22 – Nazis, Thule Society, and Steiner's Persecution 35:15 – Modern Elites, AI, and the Ahrimanic Shadow 49:35 – Reincarnation and Secret Societies' Spiritual Manipulation 51:04 – Steiner in 2025: The Greatest Threat to Humanity 56:12 – Closing Thoughts: Get The Luciferic Verses Now!   Support Dr. Cunningham:   Grab his book, The Luciferic Verses: The Daodejing and the Chinese Roots of Esoteric History, on Amazon.

Introduction    Opening Theme: The episode begins with an ethereal introduction from Higher Density Living Podcast featuring Alexander McCaig. The intro invites listeners to "look within" and live on the edge of the seen and unseen realities, exploring consciousness, spirit, and the human condition.   Welcome and Catch-Up  Host Greeting: Mark Snider welcomes listeners back to Ohio Exopolitics and introduces his guest (and unofficial co-host), Alexander McCaig, expressing gratitude for their collaboration. Reunion Vibe: Mark humorously notes it's been two weeks since their last discussion, though it feels like years. Alexander agrees, sharing that he's been enjoying the sunny weather in Santa Fe, New Mexico, contrasting with Mark's rainy, 40-degree weather in Ohio. Nature's Impact: Alexander highlights his recent time in nature, chopping wood, and draws a parallel to a scene from The Avengers where Captain America and Iron Man chop wood, emphasizing its grounding effect on the human spirit.   Snow, Soil, and Nutrient Cycles Weather Discussion: Mark mentions Ohio's recent sun and cold rain, while Alexander wishes for more snow or rain in Santa Fe's mild climate. Snow's Ecological Role: Alexander explains how snow acts as an insulating layer for soil, facilitating the movement of nutrient salts into plant root systems. He describes how temperature differentials (cold surface, warmer subsurface) lift water and salts upward during winter, nourishing flora. Victor Schauberger's Influence: Alexander credits Austrian naturalist Victor Schauberger for this insight, noting Schauberger's work on water cycles, farming, and nature's laws. Mark marvels at how snowmelt isn't just runoff but feeds mountain springs through internal storage and temperature-driven processes. Victor Schauberger: Nature's Genius  Schauberger's Background: Alexander introduces Schauberger as a tree farmer with a profound understanding of nature, unaffiliated with the Meier material Mark references. His works, originally in German and translated into English by Caleb Coates, cover farming, water technology, and gravitational phenomena. Nazi Connection: Alexander recounts how Schauberger met Hitler and a Nazi physicist to discuss propulsion inspired by trout swimming upstream and toroidal water dynamics. This influenced the Nazis' anti-gravity craft, Die Glocke (The Bell), and later Hanabu, though Schauberger disdained the Nazis and formal science. Unique Vocabulary: Mark and Alexander discuss Schauberger's bespoke terminology, which initially confuses but ultimately reveals precise natural phenomena, as validated by modern water engineers and physicists. Alpine Lakes and Propulsion Insights  Lunar Observations: Alexander shares a story of Schauberger observing unfrozen alpine lakes under moonlight. He noticed logs swirling into whirlpools, sinking, and then being ejected upward, revealing a self-refreshing mechanism driven by temperature differentials. Water's Density: At 39.4°F, water reaches peak density, carrying nutrient salts and enabling this toroidal motion, which Schauberger mimicked for propulsion systems—contrasting with destructive combustion tech. Deep State Tech: Alexander suggests this early anti-gravity concept may underpin modern secret propulsion systems, avoiding atom-splitting or burning fuels. Mark proposes revisiting this topic for its depth and complexity.   Time Compression and Meditation  Shifting Gears: Mark asks about time compression, which Alexander confirms experiencing during flow states or meditation. Meditative Experience: Alexander describes a full-lotus meditation where 75 minutes felt like 15, leaving his legs numb and causing him to collapse upon standing. He explains how this stillness reduces bodily focus, amplifying brain activity and unlocking peace. Aging and Time: Mark notes how time compresses with age, forcing prioritization. Alexander ties this to meditation's benefits, advising against reclining for beginners to avoid sleep, favoring upright or lotus positions. Hidden Technology and Extraterrestrial Oversight  Dr. Carol Rosin: Mark introduces Dr. Carol Rosin, assistant to Wernher von Braun, who warned of a staged alien invasion and space weaponization (e.g., Rods from God). Alexander agrees such weapons exist. Deep State Motives: Alexander posits military tech developers seek excuses to test anti-grav drones, using global UFO sightings as cover. He contrasts this with extraterrestrial observers who intervene only if 75% of life faces extinction, as triggered by nuclear escalations (e.g., Russia-NATO tensions). Human Readiness: Alexander argues humanity's consciousness lags 1,500–2,000 years behind its tech, suggesting releasing advanced tools now would harm rather than help society. Closing Notes   Themes Explored: Nature's wisdom (Schauberger), consciousness (meditation/time), and hidden tech (propulsion/UFOs) weave a tapestry of knowledge suppression, human evolution, and cosmic oversight.   Next Episode Tease: Mark and Alexander plan to revisit Schauberger's work and unpack the implications of advanced technology in future shows.

In this episode of Higher Density Living, hosts Jason and Alexander delve into the Law of One and its teachings on balancing the lower three chakras (red, orange, and yellow) for ascension to fourth density. They discuss the importance of clearing these chakras to achieve a balanced state and progress on your spiritual journey.   Key Takeaways:   Third Density is About Balance: The key to moving from third to fourth density is achieving balance within yourself, not just focusing on spiritual practices or seeking psychic abilities. Clearing the Lower Chakras: The three lower chakras (red, orange, and yellow) must be cleared and balanced to access the heart chakra and experience true love. Red Ray (Root Chakra): This chakra deals with primal survival instincts, fear, and lack. Clearing this chakra involves overcoming fear, trusting the world, and developing a sense of belonging. Orange Ray (Sacral Chakra): This chakra relates to attachments, desires, ego, and validation from others. Balancing this chakra involves finding your true identity, expressing joy, pleasure, and creativity in healthy ways, and developing strong emotional intelligence. Yellow Ray (Solar Plexus Chakra): This chakra is about control, power, and self-worth. Balancing this chakra involves mastering self-control, responding to situations with wisdom and assertiveness, and cultivating a strong sense of self-worth. The Importance of Internal Work: True balance and ascension come from doing the internal work of self-reflection, understanding your fears and attachments, and aligning with your true self. Avoid Spiritual Fast Food: Don't rush the process or try to bypass the necessary internal work by relying on external means like ayahuasca or other substances. Embrace the Shadow: Recognize and integrate the negative aspects of yourself to achieve true balance and understanding. Graduation is a Delicate Process: Ascension is a gradual and subtle process that occurs when you achieve balance and harmony within yourself and with the world.   Resources: Connect with us on our website and social media platforms for daily inspiration and insights.

Welcome back to Higher Density Living, a podcast exploring consciousness and the human experience. I'm Alexander McCaig, joined by my co-host Jason Rigby.   Today, we're diving deep into the concept of human potential, inspired by the work of scientist and author Greg Braden. Braden warns us that we're in a pivotal moment in history, a battle for our humanness. This battle is not just about our physical existence but also our connection to something far greater within each of us.   We explore the idea that our true potential lies in being human, something we haven't fully unlocked yet. We discuss the potential of our consciousness, spirit, and physical abilities, often overlooked in our pursuit of material and technological advancements.   Braden emphasizes our ability to transcend perceived limitations and tap into extraordinary powers encoded in our DNA, such as creativity, intuition, and healing. We delve into the concept of self-healing and how we can harness our inner power to accelerate the healing process.   A key theme we explore is the distraction posed by technology and other external forces that disconnect us from our inner power. We discuss the dangers of prioritizing technological advancements over our own evolution and the importance of self-awareness and self-responsibility.   We examine the ancient esoteric teaching that the only difference between angels in heaven and angels on Earth is the angels in heaven are aware that they are angels. This highlights the importance of self-belief and recognizing our own divinity.   We discuss the concept of a 'birthright' - our inherent right to divinity and the importance of self-discovery and pursuing spiritual growth. We use the metaphor of a candle to represent the limited time we have in this physical form and the importance of prioritizing our spiritual evolution.   We also touch on the idea of service to others and how it aligns with our higher selves and the pursuit of unity consciousness. We emphasize the importance of recognizing the cyclical nature of life and death and overcoming the fear of death.   We close the episode with a reminder that our purpose is to learn and grow, and by focusing on our own refinement, we passively teach others. We encourage listeners to recognize the feedback mechanism of life and embrace the journey of self-discovery and spiritual evolution.   We also ask our listeners to subscribe to our YouTube channel and support Higher Density Living. We appreciate your engagement and commitment to exploring these profound topics with us.   Thank you for tuning in to Higher Density Living. We'll catch you on the next episode!
