When we hear about spiritual awakening, it can often sound lofty or out of reach. We imagine it will take decades of practice, or that it belongs only to rare, extraordinary people.But what if the very thing we've been seeking has never been absent?In this episode, Craig turns our attention to something we almost always overlook. Every moment of life is filled with thoughts, sensations, and emotions—yet we rarely notice the conscious awareness in which they all arise.What happens when that awareness begins to recognize itself? This is the shift at the heart of awakening.Through teaching, guided reflection, and meditation, Craig invites us into this recognition of awakened awareness—and to the deeper mystery it reveals about who we really are.To access the full transcript of this episode and discover more resources, visit the episode page on MeditationChangesEverything.com.

He mailed his first manuscripts to Amazing Stories after reading an issue he borrowed from a neighbor. Despite those humble beginnings, he went on to coin terms like “genetic engineering” and “terraforming” that are still widely used in science fiction todayAt just 20 years old, Jack Williamson submitted this story to Hugo Gernsback at Amazing Stories. This comes from the magazine: ‘The Metal Man contains an abundant matter of mystery, adventure, and for a short story, a surprising amount of true science. Unless we are very much mistaken, this story will be hailed with delight by every scientifiction fan. We hope Mr. Williamson can be induced to write a number of stories in a similar vein.'

Million!But here we are, with millions of plays — all thanks to you. Yes, you with the earbuds, the late-night playlist, and the taste for classic sci-fi greatness. You made this happen, and we can't thank you enough.Another 5 star review on Apple Podcasts UK, this from DarrenInItaly “I love this Podcast and have listened to every episode, some episodes many, many times. But… please, no mid episode advertisements in your voice Scott, can we have them before or after. It's weird when a stranded astronaut, anticipating his own death, starts telling you about the benefit of his preferred daily supplements.”Now, about that ad you mentioned for Rise… guilty as charged. I got a little too excited sharing it because, honestly, it's been a game-changer for me. No more diabetic neuropathy pain, no more numbness, way more energy — I actually feel like myself again.And here's the thing: I want that for you, too. So if you're curious, there's a link for Rise in the description, or you can just head over to lostscifi.com and click the link at the top of the page.Ever notice how some of these old sci-fi stories had a way of peeking into the future?

Long before he won the big prize for The Killer Angels, he was cooking up sharp, clever science fiction. This gem comes straight out of the October 1956 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction.

That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.If you picked up the February 1957 issue of Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy, you'd probably think today's story was written by Ivar Jorgensen. But here's the twist—it was actually written by Randall Garrett and Robert Silverberg. So why didn't they take credit for it?That issue contained six stories in total. Garrett's name was on The Time Snatcher—a story you may remember from an earlier episode of the podcast. And “Bob” Silverberg (not Robert, as the magazine listed him) was credited with Outcast of the Stars.But if you flip through that February 1957 issue, you'll also see a story titled The Incomplete Theft, which was indeed written by Garrett and Silverberg. Only, in the magazine, the author's name is given as Ralph Burke.So here's the wild part: out of six stories in that issue, four were actually written by Garrett and Silverberg!We will discover today's story on page 108, Bleekman's Planet by Randall Garrett and Robert Silverberg...Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Being unique is a matter of pride—but being a complete mathematical impossibility?

He didn't write a ton, but the stories he did publish really stuck—most famously The Cold Equations, a tale that's still sparking debates today. Godwin had a way of throwing ordinary people into extraordinary, no-win situations, and that's what made his work unforgettable.Just so you know The Cold Equations is on our list of stories to narrate in the future.Ordinary people, extraordinary situations is a good way to introduce our story.

Many of us come to meditation with subtle expectations—hoping for stillness, clarity, or a familiar sense of calm. When our experience doesn't match those hopes, we often assume something is missing or that we're doing it wrong.In this episode, Craig offers a meditative exploration of what it means to meet the moment as it is. Rather than trying to fix or improve our experience, he invites us to try on a simple but radical stance: to relate to the moment as already whole and complete.Through guided practice, you're invited to investigate what unfolds when you stop resisting your present-moment experience and begin to rest in the possibility that nothing needs to change.To access the full transcript of this episode and discover more resources, visit the episode page on MeditationChangesEverything.com.

He knew, to the exact minute, when he was going to die. And Earth was too far away to reach…. And Miles To Go Before I Sleep by William F. Nolan... That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.More 5 star reviews on Apple Podcasts! This from FabRascal67, “Great, but… Love the storytelling. Keeps the mind busy during slow periods at work. My only complaint is I wish the covers weren't done by AI.”Thanks FabRascal67!And this 5 star review is from Tiger101000, “Great stories… anti AI. Love the show! Perfect bedtime stories for the sci fi lover. Great narration. Disappointed in the AI episode covers.”Thanks Tiger101000!!Before The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, our plan was to narrate these stories so people could buy them all over the world. The problem was not many people bought them. After working full time narrating these stories, and trading six months of my life to do so, we had made $180. My wife thought I was crazy. I thought about giving up, but then I decided to create new covers using AI. Like it or not people DO judge a book by its cover and the ones I created were horrible. AI didn't make a difference, it made a huge difference and a few months later The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast was born. If it hadn't been for those new AI images I would have given up and there would never have been a Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.My hope is that the audio you listen to on the podcast is of sufficient quality that you will overlook the images if you don't like them.William F. Nolan returns to our podcast today with a really short story. You may remember Small World by Nolan, one of my favorites, which we released almost 3 years ago.

In this episode, Craig turns our attention to an often-overlooked dimension of meditation practice: our emotional lives.We're often taught that the biggest obstacle in meditation is our thinking mind—our thoughts, beliefs, and judgments. But strong emotions can be just as impactful, and often even more so.When we sit to practice, we may be subtly trying to feel better, hoping meditation will deliver peace or bliss. But what happens when we stop trying to fix how we feel—and begin to fully feel without needing to react, interpret, or escape?In this episode, The Practice of Emotional Freedom, Craig invites us into a radical kind of contentment. One that doesn't come from avoiding our emotions, but from no longer being ruled by them.Together, we'll explore how to release preference, suspend interpretation, and rest in the deeper ground of being where true emotional freedom becomes possible.We encourage you to tune in at a time when you can listen without interruption.To access the full transcript of this episode and discover more resources, visit the episode page on MeditationChangesEverything.com.

He was 11 when he took a train across the country by himself to reunite with his family. That early experience of isolation would later echo through many of his stories.While best known for his six novels — including the science fiction classic The Man Who Fell to Earth, The Hustler, and The Color of Money, all of which became major motion pictures and The Queen's Gambit which was adapted in a Netflix miniseries, he also penned over a dozen short stories.From the pages of Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine in February 1958, turn to page 37, The Big Bounce by Walter S.

“There's perhaps nothing we can do that has as radical an impact on our consciousness as the meditation practice of completely letting go of the mind. Something extraordinary happens when we're willing to still for a period of time every day and have no involvement with our thoughts. severing our identification with the mind. Because we don't have to do anything when we're meditating, it gives us a rare opportunity to simply give up any involvement with thought.” — Craig HamiltonIn this episode, Craig explores the quiet power of approaching meditation—and life—with a “beginner's mind.”What becomes available when we stop relating to the moment through the lens of what we already know?As we move through life, we naturally accumulate knowledge and experience. But on the spiritual path, there comes a moment when all of our knowing must be gently set aside—so we can discover a way of being that meets each moment as if for the first time and open ourselves to the mystery that is always unfolding. This episode includes two short guided meditations—one at the beginning and one at the end—so be sure to listen when you have uninterrupted time and space to go inward.To access the full transcript of this episode and discover more resources, visit the episode page on MeditationChangesEverything.com.

Today, Ray Bradbury returns to the podcast with a story that first appeared in Maclean's Magazine, published in Toronto, Canada, in its September 1948 issue, titled The Long Years. A few months later, in the Spring 1949 edition of Planet Stories, the tale resurfaced under a new title on page 51, Dwellers in Silence by Ray Bradbury…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Together they discussed the Nobles—the old prospector and the weary, frightened man.

That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Author Harold Lawlor was born in 1910—though sources differ on whether his birthplace was Ireland or Chicago. Little is known about his life, but between 1942 and 1953, he wrote 35 short stories, many of which appeared in pulp magazines of the era. Lawlor is also credited with writing three episodes of the 1961 television series Thriller, according to the Internet Movie Database.

When a brilliant inventor tries to control volcanic eruptions with a mechanical valve, his bold experiment threatens to unleash fiery chaos on an unsuspecting world. The Volcanic Valve by W. L. Alden. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Is Humorous Historical Science Fiction a real genre? I have no idea—but if it isn't, someone better invent it fast, because The Volcanic Valve would be its founding father, spiritual guide, and poster child.W. L. Alden, born October 9th, 1837, in Williamstown, Massachusetts, wore many hats: journalist, fiction writer, humorist, canoe fanatic (yes, really), and U.S. diplomat in Rome from 1885 to 1890. Somewhere between paddling rivers and negotiating foreign policy, he also found time to be hilarious.Oddly enough, Alden didn't dive into science fiction until he was in his mid-50s. Maybe he just needed a few decades to warm up. But once he got going, he cranked out 30 short stories in 10 years—because who needs sleep?Today's story, The Volcanic Valve, is inspired by a real event that happened a little more than a decade before it was written.
