Levity Go Go

I visit a seasoned alchemist to discuss Atlantis & Pleiadean technology, death and the dark side, big shen the oversoul, spiritual possession, psychotropic entheogens, daoist cultivation, employing plant and nature spirits, and more. Michael live in Black Mountain , NC where he teaches qigong and internal alchemy at his retreat center healingtaousa.com

I sit down with acupuncturist and teacher Josephine Spilka to discuss life, death, and the spirits. We discuss Buddhist, Judaic, and Daoist conceptions of passing from this world into the next. Josephine gives a straight, no-nonsense explanation of what the hun and po are. We work through the logistics of death and incarnation, disembodied existence, and conception. She reveals why we should avoid using needles and herbs when assisting someone in passing, and what we should use instead.

I sit down with my former Daoist Traditions classmates Janelle “It’s like the care bears” Velasco and Patrick “I’m so verklempt” Gannon for a long and winding discussion on Mantis swarms, demonic possession, alien encounters, diverging timelines, and that fiery itch that dwelt deep within the loins of the conquistadors. We discuss the holy trinity, the unity of the Hun with the oversoul (AKA “Big Shen”), self harm and spiritual potential, how religion should be presented to children, and the feasibility of horcruxing the soul as a strategy of immortality.

Gavin Dillard is an author and poet living on a ten-acre tea farm in Black Mountain, North Carolina. He is an Asheville native who spent twenty years rubbing elbows in Hollywood with the likes of Dolly, Lily, and Joan, moved to Maui, then returned to his homeland to settle down. He gives us the low down on growing, picking, and processing oolong in western North Carolina. What cultivars of tea are the most hardy in North Carolina? What interval of wokking vs air drying is optimal? Gavin weighs in on his experience and he also tells us why the Greys are stealing our ovaries, why potatoes aren’t food, and he reveals that the virgin Mary is a black woman from L.A.

I call up my buddy Ivan to talk shop. He discusses the importance of understanding 像 - image in different contexts of theory, diagnosis, and philosophy. Ivan tells us why the Lungs are like Lucifer, he discusses the three types of wisdom, he talks his personal experience with corvid, and he reveals the secret to where all of that energy he has comes from.
