"A masterful, revelatory work of literary non-fiction about a teenage girl's shocking crime—and its extraordinary aftermath On a spring afternoon in 1985 in Gary, Indiana, a fifteen-year-old girl kills an elderly woman in a violent home invasion. In a city with a history of racial tensions and white flight, the girl, Paula Cooper, is Black, and her victim, Ruth Pelke, is white and a beloved Bible teacher. The press swoops in. When Paula is sentenced to death, no one decries the impending execution of a tenth grader. But the tide begins to shift when the victim's grandson Bill forgives the girl, against the wishes of his family, and campaigns to spare her life..." from https://alex-mar.com/seventy-times-seven/   Alex Mar is the author of Witches of America, which was a New York Times Notable Book and a New York Times Editors' Pick.

A Teachers lounge episode where we all get stoned and talk about a Psychic from 1920's for 45 minutes. Rising to fame as a clairvoyant healer and controversial figure of the occult, Edgar Cayce has been called, "The Sleeping Profit," "An American Mystic," and "A Total fuckn Liar," by people who have interpreted his work in different ways over the years.Claiming access to a universal hive subconscious mind which allows him to access hidden levels of human consciousness and ancient knowledge, and with a dedicated team behind him, Cayce looks to make a statement tonight in this, his debut, in the UFC Octagon.  

Our conversation today is with the late Master Charles, American mystic, meditation teacher and Guru, mentor, and spiritual guide to thousands. An incredibly talented and creative individual, author of six books and countless audio and music recordings. He is an acknowledged pioneer in the evolution of human consciousness and a personal friend who I’ve known and worked with for over 45 years. His colorful life began as a child model and actor at the age of 9, followed by twelve years beginning in 1970, of fully devoted service to his Guru, Baba Muktananda, traveling the world with him. In 1977 he was initiated into the ancient order of Sannyasa where he was given the name Swami Vivekananda Saraswati. After Muktananda’s death in 1982, he carved out on his own to finish the work Muktananda asked him to do; bring the ancient meditation traditions of India to the West and deliver them in a modern and accessible way. What followed was 35+ years of community and technology development, teaching his self-styled American brand of mysticism based on ancient Tantric traditions and the Guru-Disciple relationship to the Western world. In our conversation, we cover the full spectrum of his life. His special relationship with Muktananda as his personal secretary, his life-long relationship with the Divine Feminine, Shaktipat initiation, Kundalini integration, the Guru-Disciple relationship, his infatuation with technology and the development of the Synchronicity High Tech Meditation process. Master Charles passed from our physical presence on January 24, 2019. Today I offer what I believe is one of the last interviews he did before his death, to his courageous Spirit, and the friendship, love, and respect that he shared with me and so many others unwaveringly until his last breath. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
