This week's show is with Dr. Daniel M. Ingram, MD MSPH, a retired emergency medicine physician who works to improve the global relationship of science, clinical practice, mental health and the public to the phenomena that might be referred to as spiritual, meditative, energetic, mystical, psychedelic, magical, and related phenomena. To those ends, he is currently the founder, philanthropic supporter, and volunteer CEO and Board Chair of the Emergence Benefactors registered charity, and chief organizer and co-founder of the global Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium. He is currently involved in neurophenomenological research of advanced meditative states with colleagues at Harvard and has been a participant in numerous fMRI and EEG studies of advanced meditators, including at Harvard, Yale, U Mass, and Vanderbilt. He has published scientific articles in Pediatrics, Child Abuse and Neglect, and the Journal of Medical Toxicology. He is the author of Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha, co-author of The Fire Kasina, and co-founder of the Dharma Overground. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Esquire, Vice, Wired, BBC Radio 4, Evolving Dharma, American Dharma: Buddhism Beyond Modernity, Dan Harris' 10% Happier Podcast, Slate Star Codex Blog, Buddha at the Gas Pump, Meaning of Life TV, Deconstructing Yourself, Spiritual Explained website, Guru Viking, Buddhist Geeks, Cosmic Tortoise, Startup Geometry, Imperfect Buddha Podcast, and many others. In this conversation, Lian and Daniel explore what awakening really means, weaving between the modern non-duality and Neo-Vedanta ideas such as "you're already awake" and the more structured progressive paths, filled with stages, techniques, and deepening insights. They gently reveal the hidden challenges and the powerful gifts each path offers, opening up a conversation that's both timeless and deeply relevant. Lian shares how awakening can happen spontaneously, profoundly reshaping lives, while Daniel draws from his extensive experience in various spiritual communities and traditions. Together, they explore the subtle nuances of spiritual growth, shadow integration, and the vital practice of staying present to this very moment. Their personal experiences effortlessly blend with mythic and traditional wisdom, highlighting the beautiful paradox of human growth. They also discuss practical tools like the five Buddha families, attachment styles, and why working with our shadows is essential. Daniel stresses how important personalised practice and honest community feedback are on this journey. Their conversation gently challenges the seductive myth of spiritual perfectionism, offering instead a grounded, compassionate invitation towards continual transformation and deeper self-awareness. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What You'll Learn From This Episode: How clearly seeing the strengths and limits of modern non-dual teachings and progressive spiritual approaches helps you create a spiritual practice that's deeply meaningful, nourishing, and aligned with who you really are. Why recognising and embracing your shadows—those hidden emotional patterns and parts of yourself—is essential for reclaiming your wholeness, bringing more emotional freedom and a deeper sense of authenticity. How using personality frameworks like the five Buddha families and attachment styles can help you personalise your spiritual journey in a way that genuinely honours your unique nature.

What you need to know about awakening… it's not all love and light! This week's show is with Dr. Daniel M. Ingram, MD MSPH, a retired emergency medicine physician who works to improve the global relationship of science, clinical practice, mental health and the public to the phenomena that might be referred to as spiritual, meditative, energetic, mystical, psychedelic, magical, and related phenomena.

In this conversation, Lian and Daniel explored the challenges and pitfalls associated with spiritual awakening, particularly the dark nights of the soul that many seekers face on their path.  This is ancient wisdom that in some modern western spheres has been forgotten and is now being remembered - which you'll hear can be surprisingly controversial. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Spiritual awakening can lead to significant challenges and disruptions in life - historical texts have long acknowledged the challenges of spiritual practices. Recognising this means we can seek traditions that include guidance and remedies for difficult experiences. Community support and normalisation of experiences can help individuals feel less isolated in their difficult spiritual experiences, and provide help in navigating them.

Dr. Daniel M. Ingram and Brent Spirit discuss the efforts of the EPRC, how to bridge the gap between the acknowledgment of emergent phenomena and non-experiencers, what an ideal training and education program might entail, how astronauts and politicians could be best prepared for potential emergent phenomena experiences, and more."The Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium, (EPRC) is a large, multidisciplinary, multinational alliance of researchers, clinicians, academics, private individuals, and patrons who share a vision of bringing scientific methods and clinical sensibilities to the rigorous, ethical, ontologically agnostic study of Emergent Phenomena.For the moment, and perhaps until we have something better, we use the neutral term 'emergent phenomena' to describe a range of effects and experiences, both potentially beneficial and challenging, that would often be referred to as 'spiritual', 'mystical', 'energetic', 'magical', 'psychedelic', etc. in less scientific and less clinical contexts.Emergent practices (prayer, meditation, psychedelics, yoga, virtual reality (VR), and many others), therapies (such as Mindfulness-based and psychedelic-enhanced therapies), and other circumstances likely to yield emergent phenomena are scaling rapidly in many societies, yet clinical medicine and mental health have failed to keep pace with these increasingly popular activities and their increasingly prevalent results."https://www.theeprc.orghttps://ebenefactors.org/Brent's Offers:

VYS0039 | Try Not To Be A Dick Shall Be The Whole Of The Law - Vayse to Face with Duncan Barford - Show Notes After a 3 month break, Vayse returns for an interview with a person who inspired the podcast before it was even a podcast - writer, podcaster and psychodynamic psychotherapeutic counsellor, Duncan Barford. Duncan's book Occult Experiments in the Home was a major influence on Hine and Buckley's views on magick and mysticism but for this interview they zero in on aspects of his career as a therapist, focusing on mental health and how this can affect and be affected by the occult and occult practices: Why do so many prominent figures in magick seem to have mental health issues or addictions? Where do you draw the line between mystical experience and mental health disorder? How do you maintain a magical practice when your mental health isn't good? Is it safe to have a magical practice at all? and most importantly... what kind of deep-seated psychological damage is preventing Hine from remembering the name of Duncan's new book? (Recorded 12 June 2024).

This week's show is with Dr. Daniel M. Ingram, MD MSPH, a retired emergency medicine physician who works to improve the global relationship of science, clinical practice, mental health and the public to the phenomena that might be referred to as spiritual, meditative, energetic, mystical, psychedelic, magical, and related phenomena. To those ends, he is currently the founder, philanthropic supporter, and volunteer CEO and Board Chair of the Emergence Benefactors registered charity, and chief organizer and co-founder of the global Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium. He is currently involved in neurophenomenological research of advanced meditative states with colleagues at Harvard and has been a participant in numerous fMRI and EEG studies of advanced meditators, including at Harvard, Yale, U Mass, and Vanderbilt. He has published scientific articles in Pediatrics, Child Abuse and Neglect, and the Journal of Medical Toxicology. He is the author of Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha, co-author of The Fire Kasina, and co-founder of the Dharma Overground. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Esquire, Vice, Wired, BBC Radio 4, Evolving Dharma, American Dharma: Buddhism Beyond Modernity, Dan Harris' 10% Happier Podcast, Slate Star Codex Blog, Buddha at the Gas Pump, Meaning of Life TV, Deconstructing Yourself, Spiritual Explained website, Guru Viking, Buddhist Geeks, Cosmic Tortoise, Startup Geometry, Imperfect Buddha Podcast, and many others. In this conversation, Daniel and Lian explored the intersection of magic, spirituality, science, and healthcare. Daniel shares his personal journey and the three aspects of himself that led him to explore this integration within and without via the work of the Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium, which aims to bridge the gap between the clinical mainstream and the emergent world. The conversation explores the importance of understanding phenomenology, establishing diagnostic categories, and conducting epidemiological studies. As well as the topics of neurodivergence and shamanic sickness, highlighting the need for understanding and support in these areas, and the challenges of recognising and relating to unusual experiences, as well as the tension between regulation and accessibility in alternative healing practices. Finally, Daniel shares his vision for the future, where knowledge and capabilities in these areas are equitably distributed and supported by scientific research. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group. What you'll learn from this episode: The integration of magic, spirituality, science, and healthcare can lead to transformative experiences and intentional healing. Understanding phenomenology and establishing diagnostic categories are crucial for bridging the gap between the clinical mainstream and the emergent world. Epidemiological studies can provide insights into the impact of transformative experiences on mental wellbeing and society. Special projects related to military, security, space, and big data require careful consideration and ethical approaches. Normalization and connection with others who have had similar experiences can be healing and provide support. Understanding and support for neurodivergence and shamanic sickness are important in the context of spiritual and mystical experiences. Recognizing and relating to unusual experiences can be challenging, but pattern recognition and training can help healthcare professionals provide better care. There is a tension between regulation and accessibility in alternative healing practices, and it is important to find a balance that allows for both safety and inclusivity. The vision for the future includes a global clinical mainstream that has a sophisticated understanding of alternative healing practices and the ability to provide equitable access to knowledge and support.

In our Mysticast conversation with Dr. Daniel M Ingram we discovered the stupendous mission of The Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium (https://theeprc.org/) that of expanding mainstream medicine to include what many might call “spiritual”, “mystical”, “energetic”, etc. experiences and effects, Daniel refers to these experiences as emergent phenomena. He called the practices designed to lead to emergent phenomena, such as meditation, psychedelics, yoga, prayer, etc.  -  emergent practices. As emergent practices continue to scale up in society, the aim is to give healthcare systems, mental health providers, and those who are helping to teach and promote various practices the information they need in order to make better decisions about how to both promote the benefits of these practices and manage the various effects that they can produce. The biggest parallel drawn from this exploration was the mutual desire of The Aetherius Society and The Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium to educate and assist Man's evolutionary path to expanded levels of consciousness by helping individuals to understand and effectively manage this new way of being. CALL TO ACTION - PRACTITIONERS We are studying emergent experiences using both qualitative and quantitative methods. If you have had mystical or spiritual experiences, which we refer to as emergent phenomena, and would be willing to be involved in these studies, please get in touch.https://theeprc.org/#contact Further study:  https://cloud.aetherius.org/levels-of-consciousness-part-1-the-spirit-world/ https://cloud.aetherius.org/mans-mind/ https://cloud.aetherius.org/psychic-self-defense/ (note 1) https://cloud.aetherius.org/the-cosmic-plan/ (note 2) 1.Dr. George King was one of the world's foremost authorities on psychic self-defense. In this lecture he explores the whole question of astral interference and puts it into a global perspective. He leaves us in no doubt, however, that the most common cause of so-called interference is our own negative thought and action. 2.In this riveting lecture, Dr. George King describes a great cosmic plan unfolding for the spiritual upliftment and enlightenment of humankind. He reveals our true history since coming to this planet 18,000,000 years ago, and presents details of the most important cosmic events taking place on Earth. He also reveals what we can all do to help in this vital evolutionary plan, which is ushering in a glorious new age of spirituality and cosmic freedom.

In this episode of the EPRC Podcast, Dr. Daniel M. Ingram (MD MSPH) speaks to EPRC member Dr. Julieta Galante (MD PhD) about her research on meditation and mental health and how it relates to the work of the EPRC. Dr. Galante is a Senior Research Associate at the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Cambridge. She is a qualified medical doctor specializing in public mental health research. For over a decade, Dr. Galante has been winning competitive funding to study the potential of meditation techniques for mental health promotion. Her research uses rigorous research methods in real-world scenarios. It has been featured in international media outlets, influenced clinical guidelines, and it has been presented to a wide range of audiences, from international conferences and science festivals to the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

This week's show is with Dr. Daniel M. Ingram. Dr. Daniel M. Ingram, MD MSPH, is a retired emergency medicine physician who works to improve the global relationship of science, clinical practice, mental health and the public to the phenomena that might be referred to as spiritual, meditative, energetic, mystical, psychedelic, magical, and related phenomena. To those ends, he is currently the founder, philanthropic supporter, and volunteer CEO and Board Chair of the Emergence Benefactors registered charity, and chief organizer and co-founder of the global Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium.

In this conversation, Daniel and I explored the topic of where magic and spirituality meet, how they can seem at odds, even though magical phenomena are found in many mystical traditions, how Daniel found his way to a life and work in which they belong together, and how he sees they have an important role in understanding and working to improve mental health. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group. What you'll learn from this episode: Daniel's story illustrates how in many spiritual traditions, magical effects are considered almost a distraction and not something to focus on, whereas his path took him into the conscious practice of magick too - Daniel discovered Kasina and elemental practices from the ancient Buddhist texts could actually be a powerful aid in his ceremonial magic practice, showing that meditative traditions and magick can happily co-exist I love what Daniel said… “There is a there - if you get your concentration and intention right.” (very overly simplistically paraphrased!) We spoke about the seeming dichotomy between the rational, scientific worldview and the magical worldview - which just like magic and spirituality, doesn't have to be choice between one or the other. I love what Daniel said about there being no other culture in the history of the world that has this completely non-spiritual take on mental health, in the way we do in this modern culture. For this to change we probably need to create the choice and research to compare mainstream frameworks and approaches vs spiritual ones.

The Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium (EPRC) is dedicated to bringing high quality scientific methods to scaling global knowledge of what many would call spiritual, mystical, psi/magical, energetic, and related phenomena — what we call emergent phenomena— to the clinical, mental health, and scientific mainstreams. In this introductory episode to the EPRC Podcast, Gareth Gwyn and Daniel M. Ingram have a detailed discussion of the EPRC, its origins, goals, methods, ethics, vision, purpose, and much more. If you are interested in understanding the EPRC, this is a great place to start. This is the audio portion of this video: https://youtu.be/fLtPc3AzWf0

Revisiting my experiences of awakening and reflecting on how things seem now, we ponder along the way: the culture of silence on awakening within Buddhism; the notion that enlightened people never claim enlightenment; my first ever experience of meditation; my failure at regular practice and a farewell to Buddhism; development of an interest in magick; returning to meditation as part of magical training; meeting Alan Chapman; effects of Alan's influence; embarking on the Knowledge and Communication of the Holy Guardian Angel; the 2012 prophecies and the Viking Youth Power Hour; encountering the teachings of Daniel Ingram; how to identify an authentic teacher; the advantages of “spiritual shopping”; using magick in order to experience awakening; replica hand grenades and black monoliths; my lack of faith in magick and my own experience; practical magick for mystical results; the danger of expectations; ego inflation versus lack of confidence; chaos magick as the tradition of not having a tradition; parallels between Crowley's Liber Samekh and Ingram's stages of insight; the realisation that the Dark Night of the Soul is progress; the basic and seemingly universal structure of awakening; discovering this structure all over the place; how the tradition and the practice do not seem to matter; intention and any suitable practice is all that is needed; my brash claims of attainment, and the reasons for this; how I used Ingram's teachings on the Buddhist four path model as my roadmap; descriptions and possible definitions of the four paths; a preliminary shift concerning distraction; my experience of first path: meeting Ultimate Truth; second path as the repetition of this; the major shift of a third path: a permanent awareness of something impossible and divine; God and death; the advice of Christopher Titmuss on dealing with a persistent duality; my experience of a seeming fourth path: nowhere from which to look; why I no longer regard myself as fully awakened; how the awareness has changed over time; a shift of interest towards trauma and karma; wondering about Christina Feldman's definition of enlightenment a “the implosion of all sankharas”.

In this episode we begin by reading Rumi's poem "Love Dogs", then we discuss how to connect with spiritual entities and the link with desire; the case for mysticism as magick; defining desire as distinct from needs and wants; the characteristics of desire: persistence and authenticity; working with desire as the daily grind of the magician; desire versus will and intention; desire and identity; magickal development as a continual engagement with desire; a dream of a woman who was both mother and lover; dying in dreams; the relationship to the woman in the dream; a ritual to communicate with her and the message received; a defiling dream; mystical union with a goddess; looking and being seen as having become the same; fruition through the door of no-self; the dream as a shadow of the subsequent experience of union; the dream as a defilement that had to be recognised as such; the specific nature of the relationship to the divine; the contrast between this and the relationship to demonic spirits; demonic spirits as the object of desire; divine spirits as offering cessation of desire and experiences beyond the human; control versus surrender; a possible way of failing to recognise the divine; an overwhelming and substance-induced kundalini awakening; the work of Tara Springett and her perspective on the psychotherapeutic treatment of kundalini awakening; compassion practice and how it helps; surrender to Kali and a manifestation of the goddess; mystical union following kundalini awakening, and its aftermath; desire as the bridge to union with the divine; the erotic component of images of the divine; becoming a love dog.

In this episode we’re joined again by meditator & medical doctor Daniel M. Ingram, to discuss his current efforts at helping mainstream knowledge of the common patterns of experience that unfold during contemplative practice–commonly referred to as “the stages of insight” in the early Buddhist tradition–so that this knowledge can become integrated into our modern medical systems.Episode Links:

Daniel M. Ingram sparked controversy in the Buddhist world when he declared himself to be an arahat, the term commonly used for a person who has reached the final stage of enlightenment. In this week's episode, Ingram responds to his critics and details what he experienced during the course of this journey. He also talks about his book, Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha, which aims to help people navigate their path to enlightenment, which he insists is an attainable goal for any of us.
