Journalist and author Keith Thompson (The UFO Paradox, Angels and Aliens) joins Mind Escape: New Telos to explore UFOs as modern myth, the relationship between belief and consciousness, and why the phenomenon defies simple explanation. We discuss the Ann Arbor swamp gas era and Keith's early curiosity about the unknown, his insights on angels, demons, and spectral monsters, and how UFOs might represent both external reality and inner psyche. Thompson also reflects on his near-death experience while body-surfing, what it taught him about consciousness, and how thinkers like Jeff Kripal and Alan Watts influence his understanding of the paradox.

Life is hard, a truth often acknowledged but rarely fully embodied. Today, I explore a short journey through the "Knowing Versus Living" paradox, inspired by philosopher Alan Watts, revealing how even profound wisdom doesn't shield us from human struggles, but rather helps us navigate them with grace.

Kevin cuts straight to the heart of what true transformation actually is in this episode: spiritual movement - the inner work that rewrites your perception and, in doing so, rewires the Matrix you live inside. This isn't about hustling harder or rearranging circumstances. It's about changing the film you project so the movie of your life stops repeating the same lessons.Kevin opens by clarifying a crucial distinction: physical movement is the visible result - bodies, objects, and events shifting in space. Spiritual movement happens first; it's the shift in thought, intention, and perception that rearranges the hologram and yields new outcomes. You, as the localized center of consciousness, are the projector. Your energy is the continuous light; your conditioning is the film. Change the film, and the projection changes.He names two concrete, difficult practices that create spiritual movement. First: decision-making. Decisions don't require physical effort, but they require courage. Making a choice injects certainty into your intention - not certainty of the outcome, but certainty of direction. Kevin uses the Alan Watts anecdote to show why mental choices are harder than manual labor: the mind resists because it must face infinite data, doubt, and imagination. Choosing anyway turns on a little light in the dark room of amnesia and lets the hologram begin to shift.Second: restriction. Kevin frames restriction as transforming reactivity - interrupting the habit of instant gratification (fight, flight, freeze) and converting it into a non-reactive, present pause. That pause - the space between feeling and action - is where you process, not react. Buffering, lashing out, fleeing into distractions, or numbing keeps you replaying the same film. Restriction is ego-death from the ego's view, but it's spiritual growth from the center's perspective: it stops old patterns and lets a new film be loaded.He connects these practices back into the Alpha Male Coach foundations: the spiritual blueprint (remembering who you are) and the Matrix curriculum (seeing how your projections create systems that now master you). The aim isn't escape - it's evolution: awake to your role as projector, choose with authority, restrict the reactive pattern, and then follow through. Action and follow-through - keeping your word - are the third pillar of indomitable self-confidence and the engine that turns decision into real-world change.Throughout the episode Kevin gives practical imagery - the dark room with every treasure already inside, the projector-screen-film analogy, and the pause between F-line and A-line - so listeners can apply this immediately. This episode is a call to stop editing the screen and start changing the film. Do the inner work: decide, restrict, follow through - and watch the hologram rearrange itself to serve you.

In this podcast, we explore class actions procedures and trends in the US, and what similarities and differences there are with England and Wales. The episode is hosted by Alan Watts, a partner in our disputes team in London and joint head of our global class actions group. He is joined by two disputes partners in our New York office who have extensive experience of dealing with class action litigation: Eileen Patt, who focuses on advertising disputes, and Maxwell Herman, who focuses on product liability and ESG litigation. This is the first in a 'mini-series' of two episodes. We will be back with a second episode exploring the class actions landscape in Australia. For a more in-depth analysis see Class actions radar: United States https://www.hsfkramer.com/insights/reports/class-actions-radar-scanning-global-trends-and-risks/us, which is part of our report on the global class actions landscape, Class actions radar: scanning global trends and risks https://www.hsfkramer.com/insights/reports/class-actions-radar-scanning-global-trends-and-risks/us.

In this episode, I'm joined by comedian Jon Pinder for a conversation that moves effortlessly between humor and depth. We explore philosophy through the lens of Alan Watts and Jesus, question the human need to always be right, and confront the dangers of division in today's world. Together we reflect on shifting priorities, the importance of letting go of old friends and relationships that no longer align, and what it truly means to grow.And then—we switch gears and relive our incredible experience in Manchester, where we both witnessed Oasis live. From the energy of the crowd to the nostalgia in every lyric, we break down what made the concert unforgettable and why music has the power to unifyIt's part philosophy, part life reflection, part rock 'n' roll—and fully a Hard Yarns moment.PATREON Support The Hard Yarns and get access to exclusive drops, content, live shows and promo codes : www.patreon.com/thehardyarnspodcast FIND US Email: info@thehardyarns.com Instagram: @thehardyarnspodcast TikTok: @thehardyarnspodcast Web: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.thehardyarns.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ SPONSORS All Trades Cover - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.alltradescover.com.au⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Crafted Finance - https://www.craftedfinance.com.auHard Yarns is Produced by B32media ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#hardyarns⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#comedy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. 

Today's episode is a very brief overview of Eastern Philosophy, inspired by my parasocial best friend, British philosopher Alan Watts. I've spent hours listening to his musings as I've walked through the Santa Monica mountains, and this is a summary that I'd like to share with you. For more musings, thoughts and readings to perambulate to, you can visit jeffkrasno.substack.com, or email me at jeffk@onecommune.com.

In this episode, Alan Watts and Frida Kahlo come to teach us all about Paradox and Condradictions. They explain how paradox is the nature of creation itself. While we all try to cling to certainty, it's simply not possible. But if we can learn to ride the wave of paradox itself, we find balance.

ADHD IS A WAKE UP CALL is an episode about a recent insight I had while listening to an Alan Watts video on YouTube. Basically, it's another version of my 'check engine light' theory about ADHD. What if ADHD is actually a wake up call, an opportunity for us to start paying attention to the internal world more than the external world? What if that is our opportunity to slow down and heal ourselves? To be more aware, grateful and present to what life needs us to be present to... instead of what we think we should be present to.

Today I'm super excited to present to you another episode from the Archives From this trove of 1/2 inch reel to reel tapes that we recently found mouldering in a storage facility near the Monterey Airport - a 1966 dialogue between Esalen co-founder Michael Murphy and philosopher Alan Watts and today is PART TWO— notable for being one of the only instances I've encountered of Michael Murphy conducting an interview himself. But hey, when it's Alan Watts, all bets are off. So, first, who is Alan Watts? He's born in England, but moved to the United States in 1938 to pursue Zen training in New York. Then he attended a Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, got a master's degree in theology. became an Episcopal priest in 1945, left the ministry in 1950 and then he moved to California, where he joined the faculty of the American Academy of Asian Studies. It was during the 1950s that he met Dick Price and Michael Murphy - both of whom were kicking around the Bay Area after their stints at Stanford, trying to figure out what the heck they were doing with their lives. It's widely known that Watts represents this pivotal figure in the transmission of Eastern philosophical traditions to Western intellectual discourse. By the time this conversation rolls around in 66, he had long since established himself as a rather famous interpreter of Zen Buddhism, Taoism, and Hindu metaphysics for American audiences. He'd had a rise to prominence in the 1950s which coincided with a broader cultural receptivity to Eastern philosophical frameworks. The Beats, early hippies, young people, intellectuals - they were all fascinated by Zen and the I Ching and Buddhism. At Esalen, where Alan Watts taught from the very first days in 1962 up until his death in 1973, he really found an ideal context for exploring the synthesis between Eastern contemplative traditions and this Western psychological inquiry which was coming to the forefront. And then the temporal context for this interview bears mentioning, too. This conversation occurs at a moment of considerable social upheaval: we've got an escalation of American involvement in Vietnam, and a pushback at home, we've got the emergence of several countercultural movements, including the civil rights movement and a rather new hippie/ pyschedelic culture. There's a widespread questioning of established institutional authority. So it's within this milieu that Watts and Murphy examine fundamental questions about human consciousness and the peculiarities of American cultural expression. And of course all delivered in that million dollar voice by Alan Watts. I mean, He could read a Denny's menu and make it sound profound. To me, this is a treasure of a conversation - even though it's historically situated, it addresses still-relevant questions about consciousness, about cultural development, and about humanity's place within larger systems. It also provides a lot of insight into the intellectual atmosphere that characterized Esalen's early years, when the boundaries between disciplines were very permeable and fundamental questions about human nature were approached with both rigor and imagination. Here's Alan Watts, interviewed by Michael Murphy, at Esalen Institute in 1966.

Hello to you Byron and Mariah Edgington listening in Gainesville, Florida!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.My friend Byron Edgington wrote: “Isn't it fascinating how we humans revert to past events, as if we could/can change what happened there?”Yes. We humans can be a silly species failing to acknowledge the past as the past. The past is like the wake behind a boat - the series of waves that trails behind a moving boat. But the wake doesn't drive the boat; however, awareness of and learning from the past is what allows us to drive the boat of our present into a better future.  The phrase "the wake doesn't drive the boat" (a metaphor attributed to Alan Watts) means that your past or wake of your life boat doesn't determine your future. Yes, learning from our past influences our present actions; but the future is determined by how we drive our boat now, not by the path we've already traveled.Question: How have you learned to drive your boat forward based on choices arising from past lessons?Click HERE to listen to Alan Watts talk about the boat analogy and how it applies to the present moment.Thank you for listening and steady as she goes!You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Today we present a rare archival conversation between Esalen co-founder Michael Murphy and philosopher Alan Watts, recorded in 1966. Watts, who taught at Esalen from its founding in 1962 until his death in 1973, was among the foremost interpreters of Eastern philosophy for Western audiences. In this wide-ranging dialogue, Watts articulates his theory of human evolutionary development through analytical consciousness and examines our species' complex relationship with the natural world. The recording provides a glimpse into the intellectual atmosphere of Esalen's formative years, when interdisciplinary boundaries were fluid and fundamental questions about human nature were approached with imaginative freedom. Enjoy part one of the conversation ; part two shall follow in short time.

1. Introduction and Context     *   Purpose of the Podcast/Discussion     *   Association with "Superhuman Selling" and Elyse Archer     *   Speaker's (Brandon Handley's) role: Running a men's mastermind     *   Current theme: "Grounding the Leap" 2. Understanding the "Leap" and its Challenges     *   Definition of the "leap": A breakthrough, a new baseline, a significant shift.     *   The problem: Leaps can fade into memory without grounding.     *   The goal: Locking in the leap, stabilizing the "new you" to become the new baseline.     *   Breakthroughs are exciting but initially unstable.     *   The nervous system, mind, and body need time to adapt to the new state. 3. The "Being" vs. "Doing" Paradigm for Grounding     *   Common misconception: Securing a leap through more efforting, habits, and hustling.     *   The speaker's past experience: Stuck in the "doing more" mindset.     *   The key principle: 95-98% of locking a leap is "being," only 2-5% is "doing."     *   The importance of understanding what it means to "live in this new state." 4. The Union of Heart and Mind (Kokoro)     *   An ancient principle from other cultures.     *   Concept introduced: Union of heart and mind.     *   Historical influences: Alan Watts and the concept of "mushin."     *   The Japanese term: "Kokoro" (written with the character for heart).     *   Definition of Kokoro: The union of heart and mind, working as one, not in competition.     *   Western civilization's separation of heart and mind:         *   The head as the CEO.         *   The heart ignored or relegated to a passive role.         *   Consequences: Leaps don't stick, trying to live breakthroughs in the mind while ignoring the body and emotions. 5. Scientific Basis for Heart-Mind Connection     *   The heart's intelligence: Not just a blood pump.     *   Heart's neural network: Approximately 40,000 neurons.     *   Information flow: Heart sends more information to the brain than vice-versa.     *   Pre-cognitive reactions: The heart reacts milliseconds before conscious thought.     *   Research backing: Harvard, University of California, and others.     *   Implication: The body "feels" the terrain before the brain maps it.     *   Ignoring the heart/intuition leads to reverting to the old baseline.     *   Tuning into the heart and mind together makes the new terrain familiar. 6. Alignment and States of Being     *   The principle of "alignment first, action second."     *   Transition from "contraction" to "expansion."     *   Defining "contraction":         *   Physical sensations: Chest caving in, shallow breath, racing mind, heaviness.         *   Psychological association: The old baseline, fear of the unknown.     *   Defining "expansion":         *   Physical sensations: Open chest, deep diaphragm breathing, relaxed shoulders, clear mind.         *   Psychological association: The new terrain, confidence in the new identity.     *   Leading with expansion allows "doing" to flow naturally. 7. Practical Exercise: Locking in the Leap     *   Purpose: To ground the leap in the present moment.     *   Step 1: Identify Contraction.         *   Think of things put off since the leap.         *   Feel bodily sensations of tightening (contraction).         *   Recognize this as the "old you" trying to keep you "safe."     *   Step 2: Imagine Expansion.         *   Visualize the desired outcome of the task being done.         *   Notice bodily sensations of opening and softening (expansion).         *   Recognize this as the leap being grounded.     *   Step 3: Future Action Protocol.         *   Do not act from contraction.         *   Pause, find expansion.         *   Then, move forward. 8. Reinforcing and Stabilizing the Leap     *   Keeping the leap "unshakable."     *   Training the mind to spot evidence of the leap.     *   Recognizing new responses vs. reactions.     *   "Proving the leap in real time" (Price Pritchett's concept).     *   Looking for proof while living it, not waiting for external validation.     *   Past leaps may have been unrecognized.     *   Opportunities appearing in unexpected ways ("ways that you know not of," referencing biblical phrasing).     *   "Trusting the unknown" (Price Pritchett's concept).     *   Recording and acknowledging this evidence in real time. 9. Anchoring the New Frequency (Heart-Mind Lock-In)     *   A guided breathing exercise.     *   Technique: Slow, easy breaths through the nose, belly expansion, shoulder softening.     *   Focus: Calling up the feeling of already living the leap and expansion.     *   Anchoring the feeling through bodily checks (shoulders, neck).     *   Establishing the new "home frequency" as living from expansion. 10. Making Choices for Stability     *   Every choice either stabilizes the leap or slides back to the baseline.     *   Key check-ins:         *   Feeling state: Contraction or expansion?         *   Heart and mind connection: Working together or split?     *   The power of choice: Choosing expansion, choosing Kokoro, choosing to live in the new state. 11. Invitation to Further Support and Community     *   Offering help with grounding leaps, experiencing leaps, and identifying leaps.     *   Mention of the "Superhuman Selling" mastermind.     *   Format: Bi-weekly, within groups and communities.     *   Benefits: Support from others and the opportunity to support them.     *   Concept: "A whole rising tide lifts all ships."     *   Call to action: Reach out and check it out.     *   Ultimate goal: Making leaps "sticky" and establishing them as the new baseline/reality.

Links to Steven Webb's podcast and how you can support his work.Donate paypal.me/stevenwebb or Coffee stevenwebb.ukSteven's courses, podcasts and links: stevenwebb.ukCompassion is at the heart of our discussion today, so let's dive right into it. We explore how compassion serves as a cosmic wink that connects us all, as Alan Watts puts it. This episode unpacks the differences between compassion, empathy, and judgment, and how understanding these can help us navigate our lives better. We're all just players in this game called life, and recognizing each other's struggles is key to becoming whole. Join me, Steven Webb, as we unravel what it really means to practice compassion in our daily interactions and why it matters more than ever.Compassion is a fascinating topic, and in this episode, I dive deep into what it really means. I start by reflecting on Alan Watts' idea that compassion is like a cosmic wink, a warm acknowledgment that we see each other as fellow players in this game of life. I also explore the thoughts of Ken Wilber, who suggests that true judgment comes from a place of compassion. This leads me to ponder the differences between judgment, empathy, and compassion. Judgment often comes with a personal lens, where we see the world through our own experiences, and this can lead to negative assessments of others. Empathy, on the other hand, lets us feel what others feel, but it can sometimes become self-centered, drawing us away from the person in need. Compassion, however, is about genuinely being present for someone without the need to turn the spotlight back onto ourselves. It's about opening our hearts and really seeing others for who they are, not just for their struggles but as whole beings. Throughout this episode, I share personal stories and insights that highlight the importance of compassion in our lives, especially during tough times. I encourage listeners to practice small acts of kindness and to approach each interaction with an open heart, allowing us to become whole together.Takeaways: Compassion is recognized as the cosmic wink acknowledging our shared human experience. It connects us all. Empathy and judgment differ significantly, where empathy often centers around our own feelings and experiences. True compassion requires us to open our hearts to others rather than projecting our own experiences onto them. To foster compassion, we need to embrace both our weaknesses and strengths, allowing us to become whole. Compassion is action-oriented, encouraging us to care for others without turning the focus back to ourselves. Practicing small acts of kindness daily can help cultivate a more compassionate mindset in our lives.

Twitter Space 24 July 2025In this episode, I critically examine the philosophical ideas of Alan Watts, questioning the relevance of his insights on anxiety, childhood, and personal responsibility. I challenge Watts' assertion that anxiety is unproductive, arguing instead that it can serve as a vital catalyst for action and survival, much as it did for our ancestors. The discussion encourages listeners to reflect on the importance of embracing anxiety rather than suppressing it, particularly in the context of personal growth and financial stability. By exploring the societal implications of anxiety, especially among women, I invite the audience to consider how their values and choices impact their lives. Ultimately, this episode offers a nuanced perspective on the relationship between anxiety and proactive living, emphasizing that channeling our worries can lead to meaningful engagement and reduce regret.FOLLOW ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxGET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Alan Watts is widely recognized as the father of American sport climbing and a leading developer at Smith Rock. However, most don't know about his impact on the indoor climbing industry in the US or the fact that in 1988 he set for the very first international climbing competition in the country - Snowbird. In this episode we discuss his role as route setter and judge, and how that meant he had an up close and personal view of the drama that unfolded during semi-finals. We also speculate as to what might have happened had the original rules held rather than the World Cup rules. What if Didier hadn't been disqualified? What if Destivelle had remained out or if that huge move in the middle of the finals route had been a little smaller? Watch the finals of Snowbird 1988!
