In this interview I am joined by Buddhist teacher and doctor of Tibetan Medicine Dr Nida Chenagtsang and author and Buddhist teacher Justin Von Bujdoss. Dr Nida and Justin discuss the esoteric Dzogchen practices of trekchö and tögal, and comment on their application to inner emotional disturbance and to times of external conflict and war. Dr Nida and Justin extensively discuss the mysterious practice of dark retreat, in which the retreatant seals himself in complete darkness for days or weeks at a time, triggering powerful hallucinations which can be worked with using special techniques for spiritual advancement. Dr Nida and Justin discuss the history of dark retreat, compares the differences in the various schools of its practice, warns of its dangers in terms of psychosis, and considers the potential it offers for attaining Buddhist enlightenment. Dr Nida and Justin also explore themes of fixation, nationalism, translation, and spiritual trauma. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep228-dzogchen-dark-retreat-dr-nida-chenagtsang-and-justin-von-bujdoss Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:01 - Geomantic energy of Bhutan 03:55 - The Dzogchen practice of trekchö 05:02 - Cutting through hardness 07:53 - The importance of using Sanskrit and Tibetan words 08:18 - The hardness of conceptual thinking 08:47 - Translating trekchö 09:45 - Dr Nida's new approach to translation 11:54 - Dharma as medicine 12:27 - Freeing difficult emotions 14:24 - Palestine and political polarisation 17:29 - The pressure to take sides 21:10 - Meditation as medicine 21:33 - Bringing dharma experience to politics 25:09 - The value of softness and passivity 26:10 - Nationalism and fixation 28:09 - The price of enlightened politics 30:27 - Ashoka's dharma reign 32:47 - Dr Nida's new book about Yuthok's Mahāmudrā 35:00 - Varieties of Dzogchen tögal practice 37:42 - The history of dark retreat 45:01 - Nyingma vs Kālachakra dark retreat versions 47:35 - Transforming energy and perception 49:57 - Yuthok and other dark retreat yogis 52:40 - Special characteristics of dark retreat 53:51 - The actual practice 55:07 - Dr Nida's remarkable dark retreat teacher 01:00:29 - How Dr Nida's teacher introduced him to the nature of mind 01:09:18 - The signs of success in practice 01:09:42 - The mystical story of Dr Nida and Justin's karmic connection 01:17:21 - Mahasiddha way vs the educational path 01:20:19 - Side-effects of meditation and dark retreat 01:28:04 - Fun vs beneficial 01:29:48 - Requirements for a dark retreat location 01:30:47 - Dark retreat psychosis 01:35:01 - The need for financial support 01:36:43 - When to break your retreat 01:38:07 - Looking for experiences 01:42:43 - Dr Nida's recent lucid dream 01:44:23 - Hallucinations and visions 01:47:59 - How to get involved 01:49:51 - Multi-cultural enlightenment 01:52:51 - How did Dr Nida assess Justin's readiness for dark retreat 01:55:34 - Dark retreat progression 02:03:54 - The power of ngondro 02:04:34 - ‘Spiritual not religious' 02:13:48 - Spiritual trauma 02:16:14 - Why Dr Nida wrote his book in Tibetan 02:19:07 - Questions for the practitioner 02:21:42 - Bad spiritual pedagogy … Previous episodes with Dr Nida Chenagtsang: - https://www.guruviking.com/search?q=nida Previous episode with Justin Von Bujdoss: - https://www.guruviking.com/search?q=justin … To find our more about Justin Von Bujdoss, visit: - https://justinvonbujdoss.com/ - https://www.yangtiyoga.com/ To find out more about Dr Nida Chenagtsang, visit: - https://www.facebook.com/DoctorNida/ - http://www.skypressbooks.com/ …

Geomantic Empaths and the Soul of the Land (Original Air Date: Nov 30 2021) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/spiritworld/message

We really bopped around on this one! We discuss the formative experiences behind our gender expression and muse about gender in general as we dip and dive through free speech, ancestral foundations, angelic aliens, prioritizing spiritual wealth, and enduring versus enjoying life... on this episode of mawpod

A form of divination which was immensely popular throughout Europe and Africa for centuries, but is little used these days is Geomancy. Practiced and utilized by all social classes, Geomancy was consulted for its clarity as well as it being so flexible in how one can undertake a reading. Stones, the dirt, dice, coins and even beans were used to cast for 16 unique figures, each with its own idiosyncratic meaning. In an effort to spread the glory of this now somewhat forgotten art, is the Cunning Geomancer Dr. Alexander Cummins!

Are You a Geomantic Empath? | Student Q&A | Spirit World Center --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/spiritworld/message

My guest of this episode is someone quite a few of our listeners may already know a bit, initiate and author Nick Farrell who just published two new books, we'll be talking about in the show. But firstly, our conversation starts with the changes of our days due to the pandemic and how it influenced and still does magicians and magic all over the world. We explore how a pretty dangerous form of polarisation seems to have taken over making people form tribes in more extreme ways than before adopting a hunt-and-kill-mentality. However, we also discuss the role of the balanced magician in this weird game and reflect on the need to look at different ideas before acting on them. Of course, Nick's latest book, ‘Star and Stone', a ground breaking work about geomancy and its connection to astrology will be a central topic in our episode. We'll be talking about the origins of geomancy, how it evolved as elemental theory was applied to it and how it was used for horary charts in terms of interpretation. We'll be exploring its advantages compared to other divination techniques such as the tarot as well. Part of our conversation will cover the modern purposes of this specific divination method on a magical level too such as checking on ritual working outlines before one is to implement them as geomancy is able to offer real black and white perspectives. We'll also be looking at some interesting parallels and differentiations between the geomancy, the I Ching, Golden Dawn watchtowers and Enochian chess as well. You'll have the opportunity to learn about Nick's second book too - actually a recently republished one that hasn't been available for reasonable prices for quite a while – ‘Mather's Last Secret'. It offers a collection of the papers of the Alpha & Omega Golden Dawn organisation which used to be Crowley's temple at the time he left the Golden Dawn. Nick is going to tell their highly fascinating background story and opening up about the motivation to publish them and how they can be used by modern day practitioners in order to get out the most of them. Another very important topic will be the need for orders and rituals to develop if not wanting to fall apart or become meaningless repetitions of the same story until no candidate is able to relate to them anymore and ultimately plunging into being lost and/or forgotten. The art of how this development has to take place is of course a different matter altogether as there's a delicate balance between sticking to certain words and/or movements ‘due to tradition' and letting things get out of control completely ‘due to innovation'. Nick will finally give us a glimpse on his upcoming book projects where quite a few are in line having waited patiently until he finished his amazing book on geomancy that I personally can't recommend highly enough for anyone interested in divination in general. Music played in this episode It seems to me already like if I had a new little "sensation" to announce for our musical program here on this podcast. I am extremely happy and proud that the music here has also become a bit of a trademark of this show and it makes me even happier that more and more of this music comes from YOU, the listeners!! And today the musical gift is quite spectacular. Its creator contacted me to send me his new album to use on the show. And you bet I am happy about that!!! So, today's music is by KRISTER LINDER. Let me cite his website for you: Elusive Swedish-Congolese Artist / Producer Returns from The U.S. With an Album of Dirty Gold. His music sets the tone in award winning feature films. Global fashion giants such as H&M, Fendi, Agent Provocateur and Chanel battle it out with his sound. But the man himself is not easily found. Now 13 years after the solo debut “Songs From the Silent Years,

I am a wise soul, sweet soul, gentle soul, and a generous soul. 1. Claircognizant/Intuitive Empath Being a claircognizant or intuitive empath, you have the ability to know if and what needs to be done in a situation without any solid evidence or rationale behind it. This type of empath has the ability to know whether or not they should do something depending on the context and circumstances. Claircognizant empaths are able to vibe off of the energy field of others and, in having that ability, they are able to read people very easily. 2. Psychometric Empath The psychometric empath has the ability receive information and energy from objects, photographs, or locations that are significant to a person. Psychometric empaths are also able to form impressions and relate situations or past events with inanimate objects. They are able to use the energy from a place or inanimate object to receive information and impressions about it. 3. Flora Empath This type of empath possesses the ability to communicate with plants and receive their signals. A flora empath, also known as a plant empath, can sense what plants need and can even communicate with plants on a more intimate level. They are able to use plants' energy to help plants stay alive, grow and prosper. If plants are in danger, the flora empath is able to communicate this with the plants. 4. Fauna Empath This pertains to the ability to feel and the ability to communicate with animals. Fauna empaths, also called animal empaths, can send messages to animals as well. Typically, communication is initiated by the empath and rarely by the animals. Those who hear these messages may realize that animals are requesting a change in the animal's life. 5. Geomantic Empath A geomantic empath has the ability to read signs and get signals from the soil or earth. This type of empath is especially sensitive to reading and feeling future natural disasters. Geomantic empaths can detect when natural disasters, such as hurricanes and earthquakes, are going to hit by the earth's energy signals and changes in that energy. 6. Telepathic Empath This type of empath is able to read another person's thoughts and feelings, even when they aren't vocalized or expressed by the person. This type of empath is able to use the five senses to read the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs of other people. Telepathic empaths can also take objects and form impressions on feelings associated with the particular object. 7. Precognitive Empath The precognitive empath holds the ability to feel a situation or event occur prior to it actually happening. This can be seen through dreams of extreme emotional and physical upheaval. Precognitive empaths may experience a sudden sense of anxiety and nervousness and their intuition becomes intensified or heightened. This type of empath usually has heightened sensitivity. 8. Emotional Empath Emotional empaths are able to read and feel the emotions of others. While this is a common trait among empaths, in general, this type is especially sensitive to feeling and reading others' emotions without others having to explain what they are going through or why they are feeling a certain way. 9. Physical Empath This type of empath has the ability to feel another person's pain and symptoms within their own body. This type of empath is considered to be a medical empath. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

Panel: Charles Max Wood Guest: Ryan Chenkie This week on My Angular Story, Charles speaks with Ryan Chenkie (Canada). He is a developer who uses JavaScript with Angular and Node and he does screencasting at angularcasts.io. They talk about Ryan’s background, his current projects, and getting over imposter syndrome! Check it out! In particular, we dive pretty deep on: 0:00 – Advertisement: Get A Coder Job! 0:47 – Chuck: Today our guest is Ryan Chenkie! 0:55 – Guest: Hello! I’m excited! 1:02 – Chuck: What are you doing now? 1:10 – Guest: I spent 2.5 years at Auth0 and learned a ton there. I was doing some side work and then figured out I had to focus on one thing or the other. Now I have been a consultant fulltime and also teaching, too. AngularCast.io I teach there. 1:56 – Chuck: Sounds like people are excited about GraphQL. I’ve been there, too, and make a similar decision. 2:19 – Guest: It was a hard decision b/c I liked all of my colleagues there. I always had the itch to be self-employed. 2:42 – Chuck: You figure out of it’s for you or not. 2:51 – Guest: Yep! I am happy to be another year of it. 3:00 – Chuck: I went free-lanced about a year ago b/c the decision was made for me. 3:29 – Guest: I am grateful for it. 3:40 – Chuck: Yeah, we talk about this a lot on one of my podcast platforms. If you can make a connection with people then you’ll be god. 4:07 – Guest: Yeah I had to figure out if I would have to focus on the marketing side of things or not. Right now the projects are coming to me – right to my front door, which is great! It’s this ever-expanding web. 4:55 – Chuck: Yeah where people tend to show-up. Let’s talk about your story! How did you get into programming? 5:30 – Guest: It was a little less typically at the time. I was fully self-taught. I went to school for a somewhat Geography degree. It got boring for me at some point. I had to do one programming course while in school and it was in Java. I was terrible at it and I didn’t have a clue what I was doing. It didn’t help that the instruction wasn’t great. I was terrible I didn’t understand a thing. I was scared that I was going to fail the course. I came out of there feeling like I didn’t have the chops to be a programmer. I was doing Geomantic-stuff. I learned that the further you get into this programming stuff you would make better money – better job, etc. I was trying to put this map/graph into a website and it said that I had to learn Java. This time, though, the material was taught to me in these small increments. I got into it more and I was more attracted to the idea of programming. 10:00 – Guest continues. 10:32 – Guest: I was learning Angular and JavaScript better. 10:35 – Chuck: Yeah it makes you think through it. You have to go deep. 10:47 – Guest: I would make a sample packet. I would get to certain points and get to a point and I couldn’t explain what I did. I would get to a roadblock and I couldn’t explain it. I would be on this tangent for a while and have to figure this out. I was working with the government, at this time, but I thought: maybe I could try this programming thing for a while. Did you go to NG Vegas conference? 12:20 – Chuck: Nope. 12:25 – Guest: There is this conference in Las Vegas – I am going to go and hang out with people. At this conference I met some important people. This company posted that they needed someone and I thought: this is the job for me. I sent an email – went to an interview – and did an example. I got the job and freaked out because I wasn’t a “real” programmer. I wrote some content for them and it’s been all good. 14:07 – Chuck: Let me back-up real quickly. How did you find Angular? 14:18 – Guest: It’s hard to pinpoint the “moment” I had found Angular. As I am learning through Code Academy I am reading articles and stuff. I heard about Angular.js and watched some online tutorials and watched all of the talks from the conference. I thought that I needed to learn it b/c it was pretty popular at the time. I knew how to write JavaScript, but made me clearly see with Angular.js app I had to back up and learn it. 15:34 – Chuck: Yep! 16:05 – The guest mentions Hacker News among other things. 16:22 – Chuck: Angular and Electron is what we brought you on for – is that what you are doing? 16:36 – Guest: The guest talks about his experiences with Angular and Electron. 18:26 – Chuck: Let’s backup some more – didn’t sound like you worked with a lot of tech companies right? 18:51 – Guest: Yep that was my only one. 18:57 – Chuck: I hear a lot of complaints from people having this imposter syndrome. You only being in the industry for a short amount of time – how did you overcome the imposter syndrome? 19:34 – Guest: Imposter syndrome has been an issue for me – I wasn’t crippled – but it’s debilitating. “Who am I to teach on this subject?” – but I think I’ve made conscious efforts to ignore that and to use it as a little bit as fuel. I remember, man, of being scarred! I remember being terrified to see the online comments – b/c they are going to “know” that I don’t know what I am talking about. Funny thing is that I had a lot of positive comments. Little-by-little, those positive pieces of feedback were good for me. I thought: At least I am helping people (like I said, little-by-little!). I think there has been a part of a loop there. If you can look for that feedback it can help overcome imposter syndrome. The things of value are the things that scare you.  22:41 – Chuck: Yeah, I talk about this all the time to people. I have been self-employed for 8.5 years. I am not going to starve. If I had to, I could go and find a “normal” job. 23:20 – Guest: I agree. One piece of feedback that I got from a colleague is that she said: you are very resourceful! Knowing that it helped b/c it was a boost of confidence. If I had this capacity of being resourceful that helped me make my decision. It wasn’t a good time in the sense that we just had a baby. If it went south then I could always go back and get a “normal” job. 24:43 – Chuck: Yeah we talk about that in Agile development – the further you go the more information you get. 24:58 – Guest. Yep 25:03 – Chuck: What are you doing now? 25:07 – Guest: I’ve had a few large clients these past few years. I have current projects going now one is with a museum. I am speaking at a few conferences – one of them was in San Francisco and Prague. Now I am planning for next year and figuring out what my teaching and speaking plans will be. It looks like I am focusing on Graph QL content. Lots of Angular, too! 26:32 – Chuck: You are web famous! 26:35 – Guest: I don’t know about that, but I do have some things out there. 26:42 – Chuck: How can people find you? 26:49 – Guest: Twitter!

Panel: Charles Max Wood Guest: Ryan Chenkie This week on My Angular Story, Charles speaks with Ryan Chenkie (Canada). He is a developer who uses JavaScript with Angular and Node and he does screencasting at angularcasts.io. They talk about Ryan’s background, his current projects, and getting over imposter syndrome! Check it out! In particular, we dive pretty deep on: 0:00 – Advertisement: Get A Coder Job! 0:47 – Chuck: Today our guest is Ryan Chenkie! 0:55 – Guest: Hello! I’m excited! 1:02 – Chuck: What are you doing now? 1:10 – Guest: I spent 2.5 years at Auth0 and learned a ton there. I was doing some side work and then figured out I had to focus on one thing or the other. Now I have been a consultant fulltime and also teaching, too. AngularCast.io I teach there. 1:56 – Chuck: Sounds like people are excited about GraphQL. I’ve been there, too, and make a similar decision. 2:19 – Guest: It was a hard decision b/c I liked all of my colleagues there. I always had the itch to be self-employed. 2:42 – Chuck: You figure out of it’s for you or not. 2:51 – Guest: Yep! I am happy to be another year of it. 3:00 – Chuck: I went free-lanced about a year ago b/c the decision was made for me. 3:29 – Guest: I am grateful for it. 3:40 – Chuck: Yeah, we talk about this a lot on one of my podcast platforms. If you can make a connection with people then you’ll be god. 4:07 – Guest: Yeah I had to figure out if I would have to focus on the marketing side of things or not. Right now the projects are coming to me – right to my front door, which is great! It’s this ever-expanding web. 4:55 – Chuck: Yeah where people tend to show-up. Let’s talk about your story! How did you get into programming? 5:30 – Guest: It was a little less typically at the time. I was fully self-taught. I went to school for a somewhat Geography degree. It got boring for me at some point. I had to do one programming course while in school and it was in Java. I was terrible at it and I didn’t have a clue what I was doing. It didn’t help that the instruction wasn’t great. I was terrible I didn’t understand a thing. I was scared that I was going to fail the course. I came out of there feeling like I didn’t have the chops to be a programmer. I was doing Geomantic-stuff. I learned that the further you get into this programming stuff you would make better money – better job, etc. I was trying to put this map/graph into a website and it said that I had to learn Java. This time, though, the material was taught to me in these small increments. I got into it more and I was more attracted to the idea of programming. 10:00 – Guest continues. 10:32 – Guest: I was learning Angular and JavaScript better. 10:35 – Chuck: Yeah it makes you think through it. You have to go deep. 10:47 – Guest: I would make a sample packet. I would get to certain points and get to a point and I couldn’t explain what I did. I would get to a roadblock and I couldn’t explain it. I would be on this tangent for a while and have to figure this out. I was working with the government, at this time, but I thought: maybe I could try this programming thing for a while. Did you go to NG Vegas conference? 12:20 – Chuck: Nope. 12:25 – Guest: There is this conference in Las Vegas – I am going to go and hang out with people. At this conference I met some important people. This company posted that they needed someone and I thought: this is the job for me. I sent an email – went to an interview – and did an example. I got the job and freaked out because I wasn’t a “real” programmer. I wrote some content for them and it’s been all good. 14:07 – Chuck: Let me back-up real quickly.

Described as "an archaeologist of visual apocrypha," US and Hong Kong-based artist Adrian Wong plays with signifiers of culture and identity, lending objects new life through adjusted interpretations. With his unique background—including an MA in developmental psychology and an MFA in sculpture—Wong makes esotericism accessible and tangible. From performance art to sculptures, video, and other installations, Wong experiments with perception while bringing a rigorously researched approach to art. For "Phantoms of Asia: Contemporary Awakens the Past" (on view at the Asian Art Museum from May 18-September 2, 2012) he plays with the precepts of feng shui, using ceremonial objects from the museum's collection.
