In this episode of Outlaw God, Caleb Keith and Dr. Steven Paulson continue exploring Luther's "new Kabbalah" and his rejection of mystical approaches to God, Scripture, and the law.

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Mia.Mia is a mama of two originally from Montreal, Canada, now living in Norway.Mia is a certified doula, Sacred Birthworker, and a Mama Blessing ceremony facilitator who is deeply passionate about physiological birth and supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Her work extends to facilitating women's circles, retreats, and organizing wellness events and festivals in Norway, Portugal, Canada, and beyond.With a deep love for art and holistic psychology, Mia is completing her Master's degree in Art Therapy, weaving together creativity, ritual, authentic relating, and evidence-based therapeutic practice.

She reflects on the power of surrender, the innate intelligence of the birthing body, and the simple yet profound practices that allowed her to experience birth as peaceful, instinctive, and deeply empowering.Mia explores the mindset shifts that shaped her experience, including replacing the idea of contractions with expansions, and how softening into each wave allowed her body to lead the way. She shares what it felt like to experience the ferguson reflex, welcome her daughter through a gentle partial lotus birth, and emerge with a profound sense of peace, awe, and trust in the wisdom of birth.She also reflects on the magic of the first hours postpartum, resting in the comfort of her own home, surrounded by candles and soft galaxy lights, holding and breastfeeding her baby while her doula filled the room with gentle guitar songs from the Amazon jungle, creating an atmosphere of deep peace, love, and reverence.This episode is an invitation to reimagine what birth can be when women feel deeply safe, supported, and connected to their own inner knowing.Curious about Mia?

In this presentation, Lahouari Taleb examines the 19th-century Moroccan Sufi Ahmad ibn ʿAjība's account of how sense experience relates to mystical gnosis. Unpacking Ibn ʿAjība's treatise on the Oneness of Existence, he shows how the perceived divide between the sensory and the intelligible dissolves into a cognitive veil rather than a fixed feature of reality — with striking implications for modern philosophy of mind.

Haruto said worriedly.Ja: あいこは優しい声で「大丈夫、兄さん。En: Aiko replied in a gentle voice, "It's okay, brother.Ja: 私たちが見つけられるよ」と言いました。En: We'll find him."Ja: 竹林の中は迷宮のようでした。En: Inside the bamboo grove was like a labyrinth.Ja: ランタンの明かりは薄暗く、道はわかりづらかったです。En: The light from the lanterns was dim, and the path was hard to make out.Ja: 「ああ、ここを曲がったらいいかも」とあいこが自信満々に言いました。En: "Ah, maybe we should turn here," Aiko said confidently.Ja: 彼女はいつも直感が鋭いからです。En: She always had sharp intuition.Ja: やがて二人は、隠れた広場に辿り着きました。En: Eventually, the two of them reached a hidden clearing.Ja: そこには異様な雰囲気が漂っていました。En: An unusual atmosphere lingered there.Ja: ハルトは慎重に前へ進みました。En: Haruto carefully moved forward.Ja: その時、不思議な姿が現れました。En: At that moment, a mysterious figure appeared.Ja: 青白い光に包まれた幽霊のような存在がユウキを捕まえていました。En: An apparition enveloped in a pale blue light had captured Yuki.Ja: 「ユウキ!」ハルトは叫びました。En: "Yuki!" Haruto shouted.Ja: 「彼を返してくれ!」その瞬間、あいこは幽霊に近づき、その目を真っすぐ見つめました。En: "Give him back!" In that instant, Aiko approached the apparition and stared straight into its eyes.Ja: 「悲しみを感じます。En: "I feel sadness.Ja: あなたはこの場所に縛られているのですか?」と優しく尋ねました。En: Are you bound to this place?" she asked gently.Ja: 幽霊は一瞬黙り、そして傷ついた声で答えました。「この昔、ここに何かを失いました。En: The apparition paused momentarily and then answered in a wounded voice, "Long ago, I lost something here.Ja: それを取り戻したかったのです。」ハルトはそれを聞いて、ユウキを取り戻すために新しい提案をしました。En: I wanted to reclaim it." Hearing this, Haruto proposed a new idea to retrieve Yuki.Ja: 「その思いを私たちと分かち合ってくれませんか?」En: "Will you share that feeling with us?"Ja: その言葉に幽霊は頷き、光が柔らかく広がりました。En: The apparition nodded at those words, and the light spread softly.Ja: ユウキは徐々に意識を取り戻しました。En: Yuki gradually regained consciousness.Ja: 「ありがとう」とその幽霊は静かに言って、消え去っていきました。En: "Thank you," the apparition said quietly and vanished.Ja: 日が昇る頃、三人は祭りの喧騒へと戻りました。En: As the sun rose, the three of them returned to the festival's raucous hustle.Ja: ハルトは謎への興味を抱きつつ、友情の大切さと協力の力を深く理解しました。En: While Haruto developed an interest in the mystery, he deeply understood the importance of friendship and the power of cooperation.Ja: 「一緒にいることが、本当に大事なんだね」と彼は微笑みながらあいこに言いました。En: "Being together is really important, isn't it?" he said to Aiko with a smile.Ja: その日は、彼らにとって決して忘れられない夏の思い出となりました。En: That day became an unforgettable summer memory for them.Ja: 竹林の中で起きたことを胸に、彼らはまた新しい冒険へと進む準備をしました。En: Holding on to what happened in the bamboo grove, they prepared to embark on a new adventure.

Making their Boiler Room debut are MadCrab and Snow-Himbo from the ProlePilled Podcast, bringing a fresh perspective to an already wide-ranging discussion. The panel examines the increasingly familiar pattern of modern crises serving as catalysts for expanded surveillance, technocratic infrastructure, and centralized control. Topics include escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, Canadian wildfires, AI data centers, predictive policing, information warfare, the accelerating surveillance state, and the political utility of perpetual emergency. Along the way the crew explores military recruitment, MKUltra and modern psychological operations, media narratives, geopolitical theater, public perception management, and the emerging architecture of the digital control grid—all with the free-flowing discussion, skepticism, and humor Boiler Room listeners have come to expect.

For millennia, the legend of Medusa has haunted the human imagination, a creature so terrifying that a single glance could turn the living to stone. While most dismiss her as pure mythology, some researchers point to serpentine monsters appearing independently across ancient cultures and ask: were they all describing the same thing? But look closer at Medusa's story, and something shifts. Because some say she wasn't born a monster; she was made into one.

My buddy Mario joins me to discuss what life has been like since he has stepped out of the synchro-mystical spirals that had emerged into and taken over his life for awhile. We have a very open and honest conversation about how synchronicities can take over our lives if we let them and how we find our way back to overload and fry our hard drives. Living a life being open to the many wondrous and unexplainable things that happen all around us can be a very beautiful way to live, but it can also be extremely overwhelming to us and to those around us. Mario tells us what that has been like and how he moves forward being more grounded and understanding how it can still provide magic to our lives while being ever-present everywhere.

What does it mean to "see God again" after modernity has taught us to look for the sacred in all the wrong ways? In this special Lectern conversation, John Vervaeke is joined by Guy Sengstock for a deep reflection on John's three-part course trilogy, Seeing God Again for the First Time. John invited Guy to watch the courses and respond not only to their arguments, but to the way the courses enact a philosophical, phenomenological, and spiritual exercise. Guy begins from his own background as co-founder of Circling, describing how relational practice opened a mystery that psychological language could not fully hold, eventually leading him into Heidegger, phenomenology, and philosophy as contemplation. From there, he draws out the personal and pedagogical arc of John's work: teaching as encounter, as vulnerability, and as a way of revealing what students are already confronted with. John describes the course as an attempt to integrate rigorous argument, phenomenological exploration, and spiritual exercise in the spirit of Socrates, Plotinus, and Pierre Hadot. Rather than define religion or God and then argue for or against them, John sets out to deconstruct the modern grammar that blocks our ability to encounter sacredness at all: the fact/value, is/ought, subjective/objective, theory/data, and meaning/measurement dichotomies. The conversation moves through Paul Tillich, William Desmond, Wittgenstein, Heidegger, Catherine Pickstock, Janet Soskice, D.C. Schindler, and 4E cognitive science, showing how analytic philosophy, continental phenomenology, and cognitive science converge in undermining modernity's inherited picture. Guy and John explore sacredness as ultimately real, ultimately orienting, ultimately transformative, and ultimately resonant; naming as relational participation rather than possession; wonder as calling self and world into question; and aletheia as truth that discloses beauty, goodness, and intelligibility. The conversation closes with the contemporary stakes of this recovery: AI, consciousness, personhood, the meaning crisis, and the alignment problem. John argues that we can no longer treat philosophy and sacredness as academic luxuries when our technologies are reshaping cognition, identity, and agency. If we are creating new kinds of intelligence, the question is not merely how to bind them to us, but how to orient them - and ourselves - toward truth, goodness, beauty, intelligibility, and the sacred. Guy Sengstock is a co-founder of Circling and a longtime teacher of relational, dialogical, and contemplative practice. His work bridges phenomenology, philosophy, facilitation, and the lived mystery of interpersonal encounter.

Darkness Radio Presents: Disclosure Day Pre-game & The Occult Elvis: The Mystical and Magical Life of the King with Podcaster/Author Miguel Connor!Writer and researcher Miguel Conner reveals how Elvis was a profound mystic, occultist, and shaman. Beginning with the unusual circumstances of his birth—and his stillborn twin brother—Conner traces the diverse thread of mysticism that runs through Elvis Presley's life, drawing on firsthand accounts from the people closest to him, including his wife, Priscilla, the Memphis Mafia, and his spiritual advisors. Conner argues that Elvis was well-versed in the esoteric practices of sex magic, meditation, astrology, and numerology and had a deep familiarity with Kabbalah, Gnosticism, Theosophy, and Eastern traditions. He also reveals how Elvis was a natural healer, telekinetic, psychic, and astral traveler who had significant mystical experiences and UFO encounters. Looking at the conspiratorial and paranormal aspects of Elvis's life, the author explores the "Elvis visitations" that have occurred since the King's death and the general high weirdness of his life. As Conner convincingly argues, Elvis was not just a one-of-a-kind rock-and-roller. He was the greatest magician America ever produced.On Today's Show, we hype you up for tomorrow's big release of the summer blockbuster, Disclosure Day, by interviewing someone who was waiting in line for the screening and getting their thoughts on the movie and the real Disclosure Day! Then, we talk to Miguel Connor about whether Elvis was always destined to become who he was and what shaped his spirituality. some of the occult practices Elvis got into, and his abilities... and some of the appearances Elvis made... after he died!Learn more about Miguel Conner here: https://www.miguelconner.com/Check out Miguel's podcast (Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio) here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC67NBVrem2dRsYUreRyjSsA/feedThere are new and different (and really cool) items all the time in the Darkness Radio Online store at our website! . check out the Darkness Radio Store! https://www.darknessradioshow.com/store/Want to be an "Executive Producer" of Darkness Radio?

For over six hundred years, scholars, codebreakers, and cryptographers have tried to decipher the mysterious Voynich Manuscript — a real medieval book written in a language no one on Earth has been able to translate. According to one allegedly true account, the real danger may not come from trying to translate the manuscript… but from giving it enough attention for it to try and teach your mind how to read it. Then, the Dyatlov Pass Incident - which remains one of the most unsettling mysteries of the modern era: nine hikers dead under bizarre circumstances, strange lights in the sky, catastrophic injuries, and a tent cut open from within. Avalanche? Military experiment? Something paranormal? Next up, a strange witch haunts the dream of young boy. If it stopped there, maybe it would simply be a childhood nightmare. However, the nightmare and the witch have returned. What does it mean? Lastly, all we can say about this one is, I need a hug. Wet Hot Bad Magic Summer Camp 2026: Have you heard?!

Through our fence, breakthrough thou not… we are protected though we may be frightened. Our life you may not steal, though we may feel SCARED TO DEATH."

Around the 1820s, New Orleans residents whispered of a mesmerizing hairdresser turned Voodoo Queen named Marie Laveau. Legends claim she bewitched judges to halt convictions, performed love spells from her candlelit altar, and healed the sick with her mystical powers. And some say Marie never truly died, as she still haunts the French Quarter today.
