A multi-dimensional dialogue with philosophers and players in what has come to be called "The Liminal Web" about what this scene really is, how we relate with it and what historical potentials are being born through it and more.

n this dialogue with Hunt Priest, we explore how psychedelics can support a rediscovery of the fire of the holy spirit, reconnection with God re-imagining of the symbolic depth of Christianity. We consider the perennial tensions between the alive spirit and the church as institution. Colonial mindsets and evangelism. The Church's relationship to indigenous cultures. Jesus as Shaman and the overlaps between Shamanism and Christianity in the work of Mircea Eliade. Hunt Priest is the Executive Director and Founder of Ligare - A Christian Psychedelic Society. Hunt is a former Episcopal priest who, after a profound mystical experience during a psilocybin research study at Johns Hopkins, founded Ligare to help Christians explore psychedelic healing within a religious context.https://www.ligare.org/Jacob Kishere is a professional dialogue facilitator, writer, rapper, and philosopher.

This, our first dialogue takes small but significant steps into thinking through an interfaith dialogue with Islam can look like. We explore the intersection of this dialogue with philosophy and the good, true and beautiful. Thomas Jockin brings a studied perspective to the significance of beauty as a bridge between traditions whereas the 'true' and the 'good' are often far too fraught for meditation. Though, as he observes, beauty itself does not arrive instantly it is a relationship which requires cultivation and devotion. Thomas Jockin is a Fellow at the Halkyon Guild and the Founder of TypeThursday. He has taught at Pratt Institute, FIT (SUNY), Queens College (CUNY), and City College of New York (CUNY). I encountered Jockin and his work through his collaborations with O.G. Rose and the philosophical network 'The Net' Jacob Kishere is a writer, rapper, facilitator & host of SENSESPACE Podcast.

Docta Bionix is a rising rap artist from the U.K. who brings a redemptive message of overcoming trails and bringing inspiration into one of the hardest hitting, most oppositional rap genres: drill. I was fascinated to interview Docta Bionix because of the unusual depth of his message. I became aware of his rise early on because of his deep collaboration with producer and engineer Badio in Bournemouth, U.K. (prodbybadio) who was also instrumental in my musical start. We dive into the impact of music on culture and the responsibility of artists. Docta Bionix background stems from hiphop and rap which later led to his involvement in pirate radio stations as an MC. Since his journey began in 2022 He became the platinum and gold award winner for the Koestler awards. Prior to this he continued on his path releasing his first single in May 2023 on GRM daily and other releases also on link up tv. Later that year he participated in the BBC introducing / BBC 1xtra cypher held at the prestigious Maida Vale studios and has numerous spins on stations such as BBC 1xtra, Kiss Fresh and BBC Introducing / Radio Solent.

It was great to air and explore some of my ongoing thinking through of Love, Marriage and Sex with Michelle Garner of O.G. Rose who brings to bear her philosophical, christian and personal perspectives. We examine the significance of love philosophically and explore how, in a pre-modern context, love, sex and marriage where once self-evidently wedded. We consider the original context of marriage as a triad between two partners and God and how the spirit of marriage and faith both entail a commitment to the unknown. How are christological love and romantic distinct and where does conflation lead to dangerous error? What is sex after the invention of birth control, is casual sex playing with fire in relation to deep coded value systems? How does long term love paradoxically hold together both: the complete givennness of the love commitment and the ever-present possibility of other partners. O.G.

Mahon McCann PhD, podcaster, fighting coach and creator of Wisdom dojo brigs his insights into the development of young men and the meaning crisis to the Resonant Man Dialogues series. We explore the deep need and search for role models as man. That moment in which you realise that you are fully responsible for your outcome and the balance of this with spirituality and finding a wisdom community and mentors to build together. We consider how mens groups can support men in their solitary purpose as well as breaking out of being 'islands' into a collective we. Matthew speaks to the power of being seen in having conquered our fears by other men as representing a key initiation. As well as this, the insufficiency of psychedelics alone for transformation relative to long term projects with accountability. Jacob lays out his metamodern vision in The Resonant Man initiative for the future of man. Responding to a polarised critique of men and forging a way through the a world where men and women mutually support one another in coming into embodied, spiritual and emotional maturity. Want to join a powerful group of men exploring this through practice and presence? Join Matthew Green and Jacob Kishere for the Resonant Man each Sunday starting June 9th.

An interview with my dad Gaz Kishere, a former minister who was involved in the church for 15 years and has since undergone a journey of deconstruction. Today he works professionally as a counsellor, helping others find continued journey and spiritual relationship beyond church. He's worked for the last 8 years supporting counter-trafficking and refugee projects in Athens Greece, as well as counselling burnt-out humanitarian workers. We explore church's relationship to rescuer culture and outreach. The 1990's Toronto awakening. The relationship of the church to disruption and dynamic change. Church leadership as ‘always having an answer'. Church as creating a ‘safe space' of arrival, rather than journey into unknowing. The unknown as the place where faith lives. Church as self-relating and concerned with perpetuating itself. Contact for Coaching and enquiries at gazkishere(at)gmail.com

What is spiritual warfare and how do we relate to the possibility of malevolent or parasitic energies/entities. What can we do to wage 'spiritual warfare' more effectively; how does spiritual community, cultivation of virtue and having a 'highest' support spiritual warfare. Experiences of spiritual warfare in the plant medicine space. Are dark entities separate or part of God? Distinctions between Christian & Hindu theology of evil. Can we be a vessel for the extension of divine grace to dark/fallen entities? Ken Lowry is an explorer and lover of the Good, the True and the Beautiful.

A conversation worth waiting for with philosopher Cadell Last diving into themes he began developing in a published trialogue 'Sex, Masculinity and God' (2020). We wrestle with the confusion of contemporary landscape as men, delving into the disorientation of radical historical changes in life, sex, work and identity. We further the 'wrestling with christianity' conversation with Cadell's deep reading of the signficance of the cross for men around the initiatory dying into life. How can men's death and resurrection resolve the culture war? What will christianity be in it's 3rd millennium? What is the fundamental ‘negativity' and dissolution at the heart of the feminine?

A freeform first dialogue I was inspired to hold with O.G Rose and Tim Kubik. Both are friend's and fellow travellers in the liminal web with a rich insight into where education has become broken and what educational futures we might imagine. We touch on: ~The relation of education and capital ~The historical dependence of leisure on exploitation ~The 'trivia' test mentality of modern education ~An education that allows genius misfits ~Zoom and educational entreprenuership O.G.

'The Spirit of the Climate Crisis' is the 3rd in an ongoing SENSESPACE climate series getting to the heart of the climate crisis. I'm joined by Brendan Kelly, Anne Keay & Matthew Green to explore the ‘Yin and Yang' of climate change, an ancient Chinese model offering a path for balance with nature. We also explore collective healing and what it means to 'hospice' modernity as a way of being rather than 'save' it. Anne draws upon her experience in conscious communities to articulate the necessity of a love & heart centred consciousness in navigating climate crisis. -- Brendan Kelly has 20 years full-time experience practicing acupuncture and herbal medicine and currently practices at Jade Mountain Wellness, the clinic he founded in Burlinton, VT USA.

I recently read the Ayn Rand's incredible magnum opus ‘Atlas Shrugged' which inspired to organise a roundtable discussion. I joined Bethany Tabor in her reading group on the significance of the book and we were also joined by Daniel of O.G. Rose who was deeply struck by the text as a literary philosophy. First published in 1957, Atlas Shrugged is an unfolding story mixing mystery, romance and an exposition of the potential breakdown of American society. In our dialogue we explore how Atlas Shrugged offers a more important diagnosis of the slide into authoritarianism and decline than the more popular 1984. A work of fiction, Atlas Shrugged presents us a chillingly detailed map of how things fall apart and the breakdown in values and philosophy directly spreads through infrastructure.

Continuing the series with Mahon McCann, Ken Lowry & O.G. Rose. We explore a christianity that 'goes beyond itself' and some of the dynamic tensions involved in integrating Christianity with many of us outsiders to the tradition. A unique consideration of how modern christianity 'bands off' the 'top' and 'bottom' of transcendental experience and deep suffering of collective trauma and holds us in a 'middle space'. How we might learn from Paul and early communities as a model of de-centralised scenes experimenting with different ecologies of practice in dialogue with one another.

First of a two part dialogue with Michelle Garner of O.G Rose. We explore truth as a moving spirit which we can be girded by. Michelle embodies a profound openness and willingness to enter the world's of others and she shares how being girded and rooted in truth affords this. We consider truth as redemptive and transformative to suffering. Then we look at how truth cultivated in philosophy doesn't always translate into social life and encounters with the opposite sex. -- In pt.2 we explore the wisdom of motherhood. -- O.G.

~The first in a new series 'The Doors of Dialogos' exploring the nature of Dialogos with pioneers and practitioners~ In this dialogue with Daniel Zaruba we explore some of the pathways into Dialogos as part of a larger exploration. This includes: remembering the dimension of being and the perspective beyond perspectives. I ask Daniel about the relation between Dialogos and prayer and how Dialogos might be implicated in Morphic resonance. We close with a number of considerations around sophistry and the potentially political nature of this 'wisdom scene'.

In the second Climate dialogue on SenseSpace i'm joined by Matthew Green and Wolfgang Knorr. Matthew Green is an author, climate journalist and writes at the 'Resonant world' substack on collective trauma healing. Wolfgang Knorr is a climate scientist, modeller & activist with decades of experience in climate science. We begin by exploring Wolfgang's radical thesis that 'Net Zero is a trap' and how the climate conversation is funnelled by models, negotiations and underlying hidden (onto-epistemological) frames. We open doors in the funnel of the climate conversation and explore an approach more rooted in not-knowing. We consider the 'addiction' nature of climate crisis and the realisation of climate crisis as 'healing crisis.

A dialogue with Ken Lowry (from his channel) in which we build upon John Vervaeke's 'After Socrates Ep.2: Socrates the monstrous' . Ken is one of my favourite interlocutors and in this dialogue we explore our experiences of christianity and the dynamism of combining socrates and Jesus as 'internalised sages'. We consider the differences between these two sages, Jesus being more 'perfect' and 'up and the clouds' whilst socrates displays a clearly carnal eroticism. We consider how they can both set us free in different ways and might be in dialogue with one another.

We continue our novel exploration of Christianity. What wisdom can be found in christianity for contending with life? What would a christianity that integrates Buddhism, psychedelics and science look like? How can we integrate the insights of the peak experience/psychedelic mountaintop into day to day to day life? How do we suffuse life with mystery? How do we trust the mystery and one another? With thanks to O.G Rose and Joseph Pickens. More to come. Jacob Substack- www.culturepilgrim.substack.com OG-Rose: https://www.og-rose.com/ Joe Pickens: https://www.josephpickens.com/

The most profound effects of transformation do not always result from the peak experience or being on the mountaintop but in the coming down and integrating. As we recouple our 'new' self with our existing relationships. To be sure, we're very thankful for the familiarity of and old friend or our parents. But, as we contend with ancestral trauma and stuckness within ourselves, we may become disheartened to percieve everything around us as staying the same. This belief that everything's staying the same is re-enforced by the world around us. However, it is a delusion. Change is happening in historically unprecedented ways at this time and we are all deeply entangled with it and the more than human world. The changes within us affect one another in ways we don't understand. This is an encouraging insight, and we never know the full range of the impact of our internal shifts have everyone we're connected to. With that being said, there's a world of struggle waiting for you if you're expecting or needing your family/friends to change in the way you have. I've been there. Perhaps its a necessary learning curve to struggle with this but where I've arived now with experience is recognising that change is happening, but not because we want or need it to. People's life journeys are long. Some karma takes years or decades to be worked out. We cannot force this but we can rest in the knowledge of our entanglement and become better witnesses to one another as we are. We can be open to the transformative potential in one another merely by attending to that person as a thou, as a mystery and not as the fixed object they believe they are. In this attentive witnessing, we paradoxically end up give more affordance to their transformation.

One of the main challenges I face at this juncture in my journey is talking about Christ or Christ consciousness as I see it in culture. Doing so very readily brings on a range of assumptions and also triggers a lot of real and legitimate shadows around christianity.

Prayer is something I've come to practice every day. I never would have thought it a few years ago but it's been a crazy curiosity-led journey. For me prayer is deeply related to dialogue and the practice of meditation--something I've done for many years. In this video, I riff on the relationship between prayer, dialogue, meditation, and listening with the heart. The practice has afforded me repeated redemption in the course of my own inner struggles and a long dark nights of the soul. Sometimes irresolvable struggles can only be resolved through surrender. On the other side of which, can be a surprising peace. However, whether it's found in prayer, psychedelics, or a cold plunge that sense of peace doesn't tend last-it has to be cultivated. Prayer, alongside other practices, is about inner-outer cultivation of the heart. Speaking to this 'matter of the heart', I describe how we all have a little flame inside of us. You may call this by many names, spirit or soul but each of those little flames in us makes up the web of life that holds us through our journey. It's one of the most important things in the human experience. When people have near death experiences and return they consistently say that their love for other people and relationships is the most important thing. It makes sense then that we tend to the flame that we bring to one another and ourselves.
