Lieve vrienden, Er staat weer een bijzondere aflevering voor jullie klaar! Dit keer met Jozef Ritman, bekend van The Ritman Library en directeur van Embassy of the Free Mind. Al decennialang is hij met zijn familie bezig met het verzamelen, ontsluiten en behouden van eeuwenoude kennis over spiritualiteit, alchemie, rozenkruizers, vrijmetselarij en de hermetische filosofie. Zijn vader noemde het al het Ad Fontes-principe: "Je gaat terug naar de bron." En precies dat is de rode draad van dit gesprek. Want, zoals Jozef zegt: "De meeste mensen herkennen die kern vanuit hun eigen intuïtie, ook al begrijpen ze het in hun bovenkamer nog niet meteen.” In deze aflevering praten we over de kracht van boeken, de zoektocht naar verborgen kennis en waarom deze oude wijsheid juist nu zo belangrijk is. "Boeken zijn dragers van ideeën, en ideeën kunnen werelden veranderen." Maar dat vraagt wel om een open blik: "Als je alleen in het zichtbare gelooft, mis je de helft van de realiteit." We bespreken de rol van het hermetisme, de universele wetmatigheden van het bestaan en hoe deze inzichten generaties vrijdenkers hebben geïnspireerd. "Er is een innerlijk weten in de mens, iets wat niet opgelegd hoeft te worden. Het hermetisme helpt je om dat te herkennen." Daarnaast deelt Jozef zijn kritische blik op de moderne samenleving, waarin we volgens hem te veel vastzitten in materialisme en rationaliteit. "De spirituele armoede van deze tijd is misschien wel groter dan de materiële armoede. We zijn verleerd om vragen te stellen die er echt toe doen."

This episode was recorded on March 25th, 2024. Laura, a bestselling author, astute commentator, and talented photographer, is well known for her bold stance on dispelling societal taboos. Her latest Sunday Times bestseller, "Free Your Mind" (co-authored with Patrick Fagan), centers around the modern world of manipulation and emphasizes the importance of personal mental sovereignty. This was a follow-up to her successful book, " A State of Fear”, which scrutinized the UK government's use of fear during the Covid-19 pandemic. Laura's initial artistic work had a similar essence, focusing on personal identities through interviews and photographs of over 300 women and men in her first three books: "Bare Reality", "Manhood: The Bare Reality", and "Womanhood: The Bare Reality". A global documentary, "100 Vaginas", was created based on "Womanhood". She continues challenging audience perspectives through her weekly Substack, "The Free Mind".

In this episode we will explore the deep peace of a contended mind that knows the eternal perfection of every being of light and behind every scene, therefore having no resistance to the flow of life.
I want a free Palestine and a free mind, a free heart and a free world. I want the oceans teeming with life and the air full of plant sex and dragonflies. I want a society where nobody needs to work but most people want to, except for the occasional eccentric dude (and there will always be the occasional eccentric dude), but he will have a flute and a story to tell. I want to write essays that open eyes and poems that open hearts and fan the flames of a revolution that will open the iron fist of the empire. I want to make something so beautiful that people will want to destroy it, until they recognize it's just a mirror of the beauty that hides choked back within themselves. I want a fiftieth birthday party with a somber accordion player and his weeping wife who plays the saw, and I want everyone to drink ambrosia cocktails out of teapots and tell each other things they've never told anyone else before. I want to hand out unconditional flowers at Flinders Street station and be happy with however they're received. I want to smack that smirk right off Matthew Miller's face and release a swarm of shrieking male cicadas into the press gallery. I want to wink at the moon and have her wink back, and then never tell a living soul about it and just keep it a secret between me and her. I want to dance with sincerity, all my psychic armor on the floor like clothing on a night of torrid lovemaking. I want to sing through the soles of my feet and let the earth roar through me like a primordial bagpipe. I want to snort up the beauty of the world like a Hollywood producer off a hooker's tits at 3 AM. I want to greet everything that comes into my senses with a wet, gooshy love, and I want to be wide open to letting it all love me right back. I want to meet everything that arises with brand new eyes, and with more awe and reverence than if I was meeting Actual Biblical Yaweh. I want plastic to be a controlled substance and for magic mushrooms to be in supermarkets. I want everyone to realize how pervasively we've been lied to, and how badly we're being screwed over, and what a beautiful world we could all have if enough of us saw it as possible. I want my species to stop living in its head and to finally come back home to Mother Earth. I want a free Palestine and a free mind, a free heart and a free world. Thank you in advance, Love Caitlin.

Kaum zu glauben, dass «Born in the Wild» Tems' Debütalbum ist. Seit vier Jahren gehört die Nigerianerin zur Speerspitze des Afrobeats. Sie kollaborierte mit Drake und Beyoncé, schrieb für Rihanna und belegte mit «Free Mind» 17 Wochen lang den ersten Platz der US-amerikanischen Hip-Hop- & R&B-Airplay-Charts. Jetzt ist der erste Langspieler da und Tems überzeugt einmal mehr.
Any work we do should be in the spirit of Karm-Yog. It means work for the pleasure of God. Shree Krishna says that if that's not feasible, do work, but renounce the fruits of the action. The attachment to the rewards of work is the root cause of worry and stress. What, then, is the secret to freeing your mind from worries? How do we focus on the present? Listen more to learn as Swami Mukundananda relates Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12, verse 11, to explain it in detail.

PAUSE… Place your hand on your belly, And as you breathe in deeply, Feel your belly expand like a balloon. All the way until you can't breathe in anymore. And then exhale, Feeling the sensation of your belly contracting, As all the air is released. PAUSE… Now drop your hand, And settle into a nice, easy rhythm of breathing. Imagining your inhale gathering everything up, And your exhale releasing it all out. Breathe in and gather… Breathe out and release. Breathe in, Breathe out. Pull your attention away from those thoughts, Those emotions, Those plans, Those worries, And be here with your breath. LONG PAUSE… If thoughts keep arising, That's okay. See if you can simply notice them, As they flutter like a butterfly right past you. Riding the breeze, And flying away out of sight. Separate from you, As you stay anchored here in your breath. Over and over again, They fly away, Out of sight, And out of mind. PAUSE… Feel the space in your mind…open. Feel the space in your body…open. LONG PAUSE… Here, in this space, Lies your stillness. This moment between your breathes, This pause between your thoughts. PAUSE… See if you can lean into it now, Imagining that space opening up, Expanding, And filling you with peace. LONG PAUSE… It's quiet here. Gentle. Filled with a welcoming nothingness that eases you, Relaxes you, And calms you. PAUSE… Let every breath expand your stillness just a bit more, Letting it be okay if butterflies of thoughts find their way in, While you observe them fluttering until they disappear. LONG PAUSE… Your mind is clear, And your heart is light. Namaste, Beautiful
