Closing out this series of chakric journeying accompanied by readings from, That's Just Reality, we explore the awareness of cycles, the number 7, and entropy. Becoming aware of the cyclical nature of Reality, allows us to move with grace as we see all deaths are portals into new life. The process of this book revealed to me the connection of cyclical thinking with the number 7. Throughout mythologies, religions, cosmologies, and science, the number seven clearly represents the journey from seed, expansion, and back to transformation. This brings up the fallacy of the second law of thermodynamics, entropy...Spiral Revival's InstagramAlai's InstagramThat's Just Reality bookMuch love & blessings, Alaï Margarita Canyon Miel'aqua Malaika Delmaré Zaela Starshine
Mmmmm lalalalala throaaattt chakra. This time is all about getting clear on our discipline, discernment, and boundaries for the sake of keeping our channel clear for divine expression. We can only operate from our highest place when we aren't being depleted - and only we can set the boundaries on that which does so. It's supportive to create a safe space for playful exploration where these blocks can arise and be worked with. So line up your stuffed animals on your bed and put on a show.

The most important shift of the chakric journey is that from the solar plexus to the heart; the lower chakras to the higher. When the double helix's wave begins to come back in on itself - towards unity. I feel we entered the heart chakra energies on May 1 - Beltane. This solar plexus time was a very confronting energy and moving into the heart is allowing us to integrate what has come up in a centered way. Seeing past differences. Grounding into our ability to expand our sense of altruism. Bringing conscious awareness into our inner dialogue so we may face that which secretly controls our disposition - keeping us in delusion! lolSpiral Revival's InstagramAlai's InstagramThat's Just Reality bookMuch love & blessings, Alaï Margarita Canyon Miel'aqua Malaika Delmaré Zaela Starshine
Along this mapping of chakric energies through the equinox and solstice rounds, we have clearly entered the solar plexus. We entered around April 8 for the solar eclipse and it feels like something majorly shifted in the collective. After sharing a bit about my experience at the Texas Eclipse gathering, we dive into the third chapter of my book, That's Just Reality, which explored the power of language. The culture and language filter of Reality makes up who we "reason ourselves to be"; our sense of self and positioning in this world. So how do we use language? Is it a crutch we unconsciously depend on to make sense of the world? Or do we weave with it consciously to create our reality?The message to alchemize the enemy and transmute conflict into care, brings us to the importance of looking to & supporting indigenous wisdom to lead this revolution. The archaic revival guides us to strengthen the ancients to bring in this "new earth".

Welcome to the first episode of season three +.* In this episode, I begin a new series of going through the chapters in my book, That's Just Reality. I feel it is the perfect time to begin this series as I will be aligning the 7 chapters with this current cycle we are traversing along the equinox and solstice points. These first two foundational chapters remind us of the importance of curiosity, awe, and wonder in order to stay open to the world. There are three main filters which keep us from experiencing Reality in itself. Time+space, our given sense receptors, and finally our rational mind. By beginning to become aware of that which we can work on, our own mind, the rest begins to expand in a way we didn't think possible...Spiral Revival's InstagramAlai's InstagramThat's Just Reality bookMuch love & blessings, Alaï Margarita Canyon Miel'aqua Malaika Delmaré Zaela Starshine
In this episode I visit Gregg Fleishman's studio in Los Angeles a few weeks after our trip to Thailand together to build some of his structures for Wonderfruit Festival. Gregg began his journey in architectural design in the concrete industry in the 1970's and has since developed his work into massive 3D geometric puzzle pieces of wood. Now his work has been highlighted at Burning Man - even building the temple of 2007, Lucidity Festival, Wonderfruit Festival, and more. His genius is evident in his endless designs for joinery and nodal mechanisms as his work is free of any metal, screws, or nails. All pieces fit together very specifically. Yet this is also why the structures are so user friendly - if you know the order of operations.

In this episode I share some of the knowledge I received from my experience at the ancient Mexican sites of Teotihuacan and Monte Alban during a two week drive with my my Father from California to Costa Rica. My experience there ties into Buckminster Fuller's book, Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth, and its concept of true wealth. As well as Thoth's Prophecy to Asclepius. I close up by sharing some insights about Mesoamerican time keeping and its intricacies.Spiral Revival's InstagramAlai's InstagramThat's Just Reality bookMuch love & blessings, Alaï Margarita Canyon Miel'aqua Malaika Delmaré Zaela Starshine
I am currently working in Thailand and haven't had much time or space to put together a regular episode, but was missing this channel to share my voice with you.

This episode is a synthesis of ideas which presented themselves to me this past week. We explore the minds of academic and "geologian", Thomas Berry as well as botanist scholar turned psychonautic prophet, Terence Mckenna. Do you feel time speeding up?As the seasonal wheel churns us into the darkness of winter (and right on time for Diwali), the message rings out for us to tend to our inner fire, our inner light, which lovingly alludes to some grander journey deep within ourselves.What is peace truly? The Earth's creative forces are full of conflict, violence, and tensions - yet they ultimately create. Is it possible to transmute our human-grade destruction into the most beautiful creation on Earth?In this solo episode, I play with these ideas as well as the karmic debt of nation-states, the Dark Crystal, time travel, the Archaic Revival, bioregionality, and more.

In this special episode, I drop by my friend Harlan Emil Gruber's magical home is Yucca Valley to have a long awaited conversation for this podcast. We have been connected by a thread of synchronicity for a couple years now and connected through our shared passion for conscious innovation and art. I am a deep admirer of his work which is shared throughout many festivals and Burning Man since the late 90's. He creates Portals to The New Earth; large immersive structures which work with sound healing frequencies and sacred geometry to establish an Earth - Soul connection. We have a candid discussion about the impact of urban planning, cosmic intelligence, spaceship Earth, the future of cities, and remembering our galactic mission while still being an awkward human sometimes.Harlan's WebsitePortal's To The New Earth bookHarlan's InstagramHarlan's YoutubeSpiral Revival's InstagramAlai's InstagramThat's Just Reality bookMuch love & blessings, Alaï Margarita Canyon Miel'aqua Malaika Delmaré Zaela Starshine
In this episode I share some thoughts that I catalogued during my travels in Italy this Summer. I touch on the effects of a modern society operating in an ancient matrix, the karmic shackles of an Florentine pigeon, predator - prey relationships, and the lotus city traps of new age spiritual colonialism in the form of cacao circles and music festivals.I then present downloads threading the Lyrans, Lemurians, Venus, and Atlantis together along with the physical location on Earth where I believe Atlantis one reigned.

In this short, yet potent episode, I speak to Mark Smith, Sofia Hefter-Smith's Father, at his geodesic dome home in Oregon about his inner world concept of the Eleprocons. Mark has worked closely with the ideas of Buckminster Fuller and fellow 'New Earth' pioneers since the 70's when he developed these concepts which he has since carried with him as the precious stories they are.Get inspired by his prose of clever wordsmithing to continue cultivating our inner worlds and find our soul kin!Connect with Mark's ideas on IdeaPod, Youtube, and SubsStackAlai's InstagramSpiral Revival's InstagramSpiral Revival's InstagramAlai's InstagramThat's Just Reality bookMuch love & blessings, Alaï Margarita Canyon Miel'aqua Malaika Delmaré Zaela Starshine
In my first episode back after a two year hiatus, I dive into a model which has continuously served me when pondering the mechanics of human consciousness evolution. We explore the foundations of this model and its creators, then move through each stage along the colorful spiral. Unlike any other analysis I have found, we'll go a bit deeper into the energetics of each stage and its orientation along the pendulum swing of masculine and feminine energy along the human evolutionary process.Hopefully this model may be of service on your toolbelt as you explore curiosities and problem solve in this realm and beyond.Alai's InstagramSpiral Revival's Instagram Spiral Revival's InstagramAlai's InstagramThat's Just Reality bookMuch love & blessings, Alaï Margarita Canyon Miel'aqua Malaika Delmaré Zaela Starshine
