In this episode of our mini-series on dreams, clinical psychologist and dream expert Roland Evans explores how we can better understand our dreams by working with them in altered states of consciousness (ASCs). From naturalistic trance and EMDR to active imagination and hypnosis, Roland looks into how these non-ordinary states of awareness help us access deeper layers of dream meaning that are often inaccessible in waking life. Whether you're new to dreamwork or looking to deepen your practice, this episode offers fascinating perspectives on working with dreams using ASCs.

Leola is the author of Sacred Sex Ed, which launches TODAY. Buy it here.  I initially discovered Leola at an Austin Tantra Festival, and I was so drawn to her energy. She later popped up on a women's group chat, which led me to her pleasure priestess training. I love how Leola shows up and what she offers in the world. On one of her recent podcast episodes, she posed a potent question… How can I be evidence of what's possible?  Listen and discover what is possible for yourself! Some of my favorite quotes... "Everyone's expression of sexual liberation can look very different." "Approaching sexuality with intention, empowerment, and reverence." "Sexuality is a powerful energy that can be used for creation, pleasure, and spiritual growth." "Pleasure is an altered state of consciousness." "Before getting into an altered state, consider your desires, fears, and boundaries." "Wine, beer, and spirits have been used for thousands of years as part of ritual practice." We also explore…  Using the ‘boundaries, desires, & fears' conversation as an invitation to the present moment Red Tantra & White Tantra Lineages Integration of Sexuality and Spirituality The Journey of Writing Sacred Sex Ed and the Power of Self-Expression (including an excerpt!)

Altered States of Consciousness: Both magic and psychedelics can induce altered states of consciousness. Magic often involves rituals, meditation, or other practices that can lead to altered states of awareness. Similarly, psychedelics such as LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, or ayahuasca can significantly alter one's perception, leading to profound and transformative experiences.  Expanded Perception: Both magic and psychedelics can expand one's perception of reality. Magic often aims to uncover hidden truths, tap into higher realms of consciousness, or perceive the unseen. Similarly, psychedelics can enhance sensory perception, making colors appear brighter, sounds more vivid, and textures more intense.  Connection to the Spiritual: Both magic and psychedelics have connections to spirituality. Magic often incorporates spiritual or mystical beliefs and practices, seeking to connect with higher powers or realms. Psychedelics have been used by various cultures for spiritual or religious purposes, providing individuals with profound spiritual experiences and a sense of interconnectedness.  Symbolism and Archetypes: Magic and psychedelics frequently involve the use of symbols and archetypes. In magic, symbols are often employed to represent certain concepts or energies and can be utilized in spells, rituals, or divination. Similarly, psychedelics can induce vivid hallucinations and imagery that may be rich in symbolic meaning, often reflecting deep archetypal patterns of the collective unconscious.  Healing and Transformation: Both magic and psychedelics have been associated with healing and personal transformation. In magical practices, spells, rituals, or energy work can be used to facilitate healing on physical, emotional, or spiritual levels. Psychedelics have shown therapeutic potential in treating various mental health conditions, facilitating personal insights, and promoting emotional healing and growth.  Ritualistic Practices: Magic and psychedelics often involve ritualistic practices. Magic rituals often follow a specific structure, with the practitioner performing certain actions, reciting incantations, or using specific tools or objects. Similarly, psychedelics are often taken in ceremonial or ritualistic settings, where participants may engage in specific behaviors, such as chanting, singing, or guided meditation, to enhance the psychedelic experience.  Non-Ordinary Realities: Both magic and psychedelics can lead to experiences of non-ordinary realities. Magic practitioners may enter trance states or engage in astral projection, accessing realms beyond ordinary perception. Similarly, psychedelics can induce profound experiences of alternate realities, with individuals reporting encounters with mystical beings, visions of other dimensions, or a dissolution of the ego.  Enhanced Creativity: Magic and psychedelics have been associated with enhanced creativity. Magic practitioners often tap into their creative abilities to craft spells, create sacred objects, or develop unique rituals. Similarly, psychedelics have been known to enhance artistic and creative expression, leading to increased inspiration, novel insights, and unique perspectives.

A growing movement of boundary-pushing art installations and cutting-edge devices seek to induce altered states.

In this episode, Joe interviews the Co-Founders of Enosis Therapeutics: researcher and scientist, Agnieszka Sekula; and psychiatrist, clinical advisor to the Australian Psychedelic Society, and leading Australian advocate for psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, Dr. Prash P.  Enosis Therapeutics is a medtech startup that began with the question: how can we use VR – with or without psychedelics – to improve mental health outcomes? They feel that the biggest problem with powerful psychedelic experiences is that, once you're back in reality, it's oddly difficult to remember the insights and new ideas that were so clear during the experience, and even harder to make connections that lead to concrete change. They believe that the immersive nature of VR and the novelty of unique VR environments creates a sense of presence that can't be recreated otherwise – a liminal, in-between state that's just different enough to allow the patient to feel like they're back in that non-ordinary state, and therefore more able to anchor their experience and begin to find connections and more clearly understand newfound insights.  This all happens by the user essentially creating nonlinear, abstract, multi-sensory VR paintings while describing what they remembered; allowing them to revisit these worlds later, bring in therapists (or anyone else) to work inside these environments, and hear their own voice describing what happened, thereby creating a mental map that can be worked with in completely unique ways.  They talk about the conflict between new technologies and traditionalists; the problems with moving away from psychoanalysis and not treating psychotherapy as a process; how VR could improve the efficacy of therapy (and improve therapists' lives); how it could replace models of repeated dosage; how VR could generate analytics to actually quantify success in mental health treatment; and how (whether psychedelics are used or not) culture needs to bring the psychedelic way of thinking to mental health. www.psychedelicstoday.com

What's up to my bulging babirusas and polychromatic paddlefish! Welcome back to the BNP and thanks so much for joining! We have a dandy doozy of an ep for ya this week friends, a real ripsnorting pistol whipper. We got a zany audio tidbit, believe that. Also included are two original altered states of consciousness-casts,  the first of their kind on the BNP - but certainly not the last.  Someone who isn't me gets a hoot out of recording content from a seat in their pineal gland. The meat n potatoes of this week's ep weaves a sordid tale of rampant government corruption, cover-ups at the highest echelons of power, and rogue intelligence agencies. We hear from investigative journalist Gary Webb, who sacrificed his career (and eventually his life) in order to paint a detailed portrait of how the CIA and assorted other 3 letter agencies worked intimately alongside Colombian drug cartels, Nicaraguan right-wing para-militiamen, and inner city dope dealers in order to flood U.S. urban centers (starting in E. L.A., then fanning out from there) with cheap cocaine. This cheap blow could then be cut into crack, making a high price drug suddenly affordable in low income neighborhoods. This highly addictive and socially destructive substance blossomed forth an entirely new drug market. The result was a public health apocalypse, with crack cocaine causing generationally devastating effects throughout urban America and filling the prisons with young black men, who because of racist sentencing legislation were put away for twice as long as their richer, white-collar counterparts selling powdered cocaine uptown. Gary Webb's 1996 expose was entitled Dark Alliance, and it ran in the San Jose Mercury. It's now quite difficult to find online, however currently you can access it here.  Download while you can. I end the episode by reading an article outlining Israel's role in arming and supporting brutal right wing dictatorships in Central America. The Guatemalan right wing actually referred to the genocidal slaughter in the 80's as the "Palestinianization" of the country's indigenous Mayan people.If you derive some value from the free shows I put out, please consider supporting my work at https://www.patreon.com/noetics.

In this episode, Joe interviews Graham Hancock: legendary bestselling author and writer and presenter of the new Netflix docuseries, "Ancient Apocalypse," where he travels the world looking for evidence of lost civilizations likely much more advanced than historians previously believed. Hancock talks about his early books and how ayahuasca influenced his writing; the similarities in cave art and the common link of altered states of consciousness; how integral non-ordinary states of consciousness likely were to early religion (especially Christianity); how much the annihilation of religious traditions has hidden history; why his and Rupert Sheldrake's Tedx talks were originally taken offline; new understandings of Neanderthals' intelligence and creativity; the Quetzalcóatl; and the concept of the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis: could there have been an advanced civilization 12,800 years ago that we're just starting to comprehend? Could it have been Atlantis?  He discusses the conflict with mystery and archaeology's obsession with scientism and materialist reductionism – that we keep trying to force everything into little boxes of approved science and have lost our imaginations and openness to possibility, especially when you realize how often narratives are built based on interpretations of data rather than facts (since the farther back we go, evidence becomes harder to come by). He believes science needs humility, a willingness to listen to Indigenous history, and a much more open mind when it comes to altered states of consciousness: “I'm convinced we're missing something important from our past, and if we don't look for it, we won't find it.” www.psychedelicstoday.com

What do you think about how you think? This week we dive into altered states of mind and being, as a way to gain perspective on your life! And don't worry, we're not promoting psychedelics, other than sitting on the meditation pillow and perceiving more (from quieting down). In the words of Pink Floyd, "Breathe, breathe in the air; don't be afraid to care... all you touch and all you see, are all your life will ever be"

This latest series is a compendium of conversations with Eric, recordings that span over a 20-year period. Before the days of smartphones, friends and students maintained a tradition of recording Eric when he would start teaching.Notice: Material was done in a natural environment, passionately, unrehearsed, and unscripted. Audio recordings may include occasional pets, people talking, and adult language. If you are seeking the real deal, you've found it.What is Dimensions Walk With Me All About?When you walk, do you ever pay attention to what you are doing or do you simply focus on your destination? There are keys embedded within the act of walking that, when put together, have the ability to dramatically shift your consciousness, enabling you to see the dimensional objects and entities that remain unknown to those who operate in a normal state of consciousness.In this module, Eric teaches the ins and outs of a new technique called “Dimension Walking,” sharing knowledge that will grant a level of mastery over this skill. Provided are some crucial details, like walking pace, proper breathing, and hand gestures, as well as a few tips on accelerating your results.Each dimension is a specific frequency. There are thousands of dimensions that overlap our physical dimension but we don't experience them because our consciousness primarily vibrates at a different frequency. Dimension Walking causes our frequency to elevate, thus opening our minds to the possibilities that lie beyond this dimension.Like this episode?

June 14, 2022 The walk and way of a modern view of what we can do to locate peace inside all these pieces. A fractured fairytale. Too many places to mentally escape, leaving the heart wide open to steer clear of its own messes. I meditate. The body goes into a moment of pure mindfulness. Upon returning I often wonder if I'm running away from something. Much like prayer. To free our minds from the moment. To gift the soul with peace. Only to step back into the present. Are we altering our lives? Research calls it ASC. Altered States Of Consciousness. Daily writing is no different. I honestly never know what I'm going to write about. Nor do I remember what I planted on the page. Using ASC as a tool. Learning to reach for it. To gain access to its strength and ability without poisoning it with your perfectionist personality. It takes practice. It's going to require awareness. But you've got to document the path. Because when you get back there's a huge chance you won't remember the journey.

Stephen Roach is the founder of The Breath & the Clay Creative Arts Organization, host of Makers & Mystics podcast, author, and a multi-instrument professional musician. In today's episode, I talk with Stephen about the role music plays in the flow state, altered states of consciousness, and what Charismatics might call "encountering the Presence of God" in worship. We discuss examples of altered states of consciousness in the Bible, Christian theories of consciousness, psychedelics, evolution, and following the Way of Jesus in a Post Secular Age.

In this episode we have the challenging job of getting our head around the psychology of altered states of consciousness or ‘exceptional human experiences' as today's specialist calls them. Are they mere illusions of the mind? Does their ability to radically change our world view and sense of meaning in the world give them a special status in psychology and mental health? And how do we talk scientifically about significant similarities between such experiences across different times and cultures that appear to imply the existence of an alternative kind of ‘reality' what ever ‘reality' is. Fortunately, to navigate this bag of worms, we have a researcher who has devoted his career to the study of these experiences both psychedelic and other, Dr. David Luke. David Luke is currently a module leader of the Psychology of Exceptional Human Experience in Greenwich Universities Psychology and Counselling Department, a course he has been running since 2009. He is also currently an Honorary Senior Lecturer for the Centre for Psychedelic Research, Division of Brain Sciences, Imperial College London. He was President of the Parapsychological Association between 2009 and 2011, and received the Faculty's first Inspirational Teaching Award (2016) from the University of Greenwich. He is a prolific author and editor of books, and today we'll be discussing his 2017 book ‘Otherworlds: Psychedelics and exceptional human experiences' and his new book, a collections of essays he has edited called ‘DMT Entity Encounters: Dialogues on the Spirit Molecule' He is also the co-founder of the Breaking Convention Conference on Psychedelics. What we discuss in this episode: 00:00 Intro 04:20 Measuring subjective qualitative experiences 11:45 The different types of altered states of consciousness 18:00 Reduced activity in the DMN (Default Mode Network) during alternate states of consciousness, but increased brain region connectivity 21:30 Evaluating mystical experiences psychologically 33:00 The connection between psychedelics and telepathy 57:00 Psychonautics - trying to map psychedelic realms and types of beings encountered and much much more (full show notes here) References: William James - Radical Empiricism During Altered states there is a reduced activity in the DMN but increased brain region connectivity Johns Hopkins and NYU studies - Intensity of mystical experience correlation with positive clinical outcomes. %50 drop in atheism among DMT experiencers Stephen Szára - first DMT experiments in 1950's Charles Laughlin - Polyphasic culture and transpersonal anthropology Medicalisation and Reciprocity Specialists Symposium

This is Part 2. For continuity please listen to https://www.podpage.com/quantum-living/s3-e7/ (Part 1 )first. This podcast is so jam-packed that I had to split it into two parts.  Make yourself comfy and join me and my special guest Mela Borawski as we dive into the bottomless rabbit hole of the altered states of consciousness. An esoteric binge heaven! To unpack this huge and complex scientific–philosophical-spiritual topic in an easy to follow way, we are using my model of the human brainwaves creating different states of consciousness, to which we can link the various spiritual experiences and psychic phenomena. We start off by answering the existential question: What is consciousness? (YES! We did!), and then for over two hours we unpack, unveil, discuss, explain and swap notes on the five altered states of consciousness we can experience in the Gamma, Alpha, Theta, Delta and Death brainwaves.  And what about the Beta? you ask - Listen to find out! We talk about Out of Body Experience (OBE); the Ayahuasca and plant medicine;  psychic gifts – explaining all “clairs”; Theta meditation; energy healing; death and dying; Near Death Experience (NDE); reincarnation, the Afterlife; soul journeys; and so much more. Some of the juiciest topics you may not have heard before are: What is (really) remote viewing; where our consciousness goes while we are asleep; and a comprehensive overview of the Indigo, Crystal and Rainbow children which includes an indispensable advice for the parents. On a spooky note - we had some serious spirit activity on Mela's side during the interview recording with first her phone going off with audible messages and then the printer itself turning on and printing without being touched, both disrupting the recording! A ladybird appearing out of nowhere on the printer in a middle of the night was most likely the calling card of the spirit wanting to join in on our conversation :-) Enjoy and please share!
