Stefan Molyneux looks at how mysticism, philosophy, and communication overlap, in response to a listener's question about higher powers, emphasizing the use of reason and precise definitions to cut through vagueness in talks about belief. The discussion covers ideas like consciousness, love, and attachment, with him arguing that genuine moral love goes beyond basic instincts. He points out the problems vague terms create in society and pushes for common definitions to improve how people communicate. On dreams, Molyneux sees them as straightforward experiences from life, not as sources of mystical insight. He wraps up by noting the role of clear thinking and rational talk in dealing with complicated aspects of life, and encourages people to express their thoughts with care.Emails:Hello Stefan,Following your most recent, as of today, FDR podcast.(6292). I wanted to hopefully offer you some perspective that may or may not be helpful. As before, I understand that your time is valuable. I do think though that my perspective, linked to IQ and seeing things very differently to you, might be of aid. The reason I have added this onto an existing email is just for familiarity because I will mildly use this backdrop for additional thoughts. I did talk to you briefly on podcast 6147. But I wanted to offer you my thought process here because it might offer you some insight into your value in a way you had not considered. Firstly, what I believe is important background as to my perspective on this entire mysticism thing. I do believe in the existence of something higher and more powerful and that has communicated with us. Certainly, a little through the bible. But mostly not through the bible. There is channeling, including the human design chart, to back this up. So I do believe the new age at its core has some good concepts. BUT, I also believe that there is a huge, and incredibly powerful toxic element of the new age. There is a mix of non complete understandings and such. For this reason, I do think that your perspective and that of many who have similar perspectives is valuable. In that keeping things to objective reality. To challenge said toxicity. There is more to this understanding. But I think that explains the core of my thoughts. People that are truly inclined to the spiritual stuff I look at will find it. But people that don't really commit and use the bare minimum of it to justify madness. It is good that that is challenged. it is similar in some ways, if you imagine a society that has innovators and Socrates following philosophers. The innovators want to do innovating and the Socrates people want nothing to exist or be real or whatever. Even though philosophy as a discipilne is extremely useful and powerful. Some of those innovators might be best served in dismissing it as the ravings of lunatics and just getting on with Innovating. So I want to describe the dream I had that stopped me talking further about mysticism. I fully acknowledge none of this makes sense since I have no following. But it still might offer an interesting perspective. It is of course not likely that if I offered a genuine challenge to your view on that that evildoers would pick it up and run with it. But apparently the dreams thought it was a suitable fear to highlight. So I went with it. My argument on mysticism would be as follows. This is not something I am committed to or care about but it was what I was thinking. It is now the story in something else I want to express. Firstly, your original statement is that mysticism is the gateway to mental illness. Firstly of course, I wrote to you on the definition of mysticism. Which I would use my own after having defined it due to the problems with yours that I highlighted. I would further refine that now by defining a primary and secondary faith. But anyway, per your argument, I would say, if mysticism is a gateway to mental illness. Then that would assume it would not in general, be used to solve mental illness. I would further refine the use of symbolic things to reach understandings. Such as tarot cards. By asking why do we dream. Why does our subconscious communicate in such a way? I would answer this by saying what is the alternative? The alternative being that without the subtlety and indirectness. The subconscious would communicate more like a dictator. Even giving the information without veil would have this effect. Since once we know the right thing to do we have more responsibility and consequences than before we know that. So what does this sound like? This sounds like schizophrenia! I would then talk about how a possible theory for it, is that if the problem gets too serious. If the subconscious mind is screaming too loudly. It busts through the conscious/ subconscious barrier too loudly, and that's where this comes from. (This is roughly what I think happened with my schizophrenic break, some of my ideas come indirectly from the psychologist Elinor Greenberg who talks about how dreams help low level schizophrenics)This would then correlate schizophrenia, and that kind of non objective, symbolic understandings. More with the symptom of other problems than with it being the cause. I would also define mainstream faith based Christianity as mysticism. As per my earlier example. And show times when this has been used to help people. Such as when the Ukraine war used to go a bit crazy women on Gab used to put loads of Christian sayings out. Women cannot biologically deal with war, but they still have fear, so a tool like mysticism to reduce the fear is perhaps highly positive. So now I get to the point. Like I said and strongly believe. It is unlikely evildoers would take such a reasoning as this and run with it to dent your power. But the dreams still responded like this was the case. The dream I had, (I do not like to tell others my dreams I prefer to interpret but I am making an exception here). I was about to make a few youtube videos on this. But I had a dream with Pearl Davis being aggressively tortured. She has mentioned a few times over the years how she has been sued and things. It was a pretty shocking dream. It felt kind of real. But what I think it could mean, is that your platform and output in this kind of social war, was significantly impacting people like Pearl by pushing back on intensely female and active toxicity we are currently witnessing (Taking us back to the point on mysticism and the Socrates philosophers analogy).I realise you might not interpret it the same way. Like, you might believe that all individuals in our dreams are parts of ourselves along a Family Systems therapy line. But I just wanted to provide that feedback in case it does provide some perspective or help in some way. Best Wishes,Joe ---It has been some years since I listened to your last podcast, 'Why animals can't love.' At that point, I quit Molyneaux. It has occurred and re occurred to me that you continued to make consciousness or choice the mandatory when it comes to capacity to love.This thinking backs exactly into a contradiction. We know that infants have neither consciousness nor choice, yet, any parent knows the infant loves. Toddlers are compelled to love, but they love nonetheless. Teenagers, etc. Not only compelled to love, but can be. Of course, Molyneaux would say, 'But that's no real love.' But some of it is. The child still wants to love the parent even when virtue (lack) seeks to negate. Some part of that child does still love. I always believed that your false philosophy on animals and love conditions backed directly into the right, even obligation, to abort children. The threadline of your 'philosophy' justified abortion. Since the infant has no choice or consciousness. He is more animal, less human. The right to kill seems elementary. That's always deeply concerned me that something is off center in your work. Mean spirited. Resentful. Death-loving. A hint of Crowley, even though 98% of your takes are good. I know you made your cash on bitcoin. Congratulations. Make an atheist like yourself proud. Your constant promise that you'd go down as a philosopher great, today and/or in 400 years from now, shows no evidence.GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Ryan and Alex journey through the tantric cosmology of Vajrayana Tibetan Buddhism, exploring the bardo realms that bridge life and death and the dreamlike illusion of samsara. They reflect on awakening and the realization of nirvana, examining how the mind's psychic projections shape human experience across lifetimes. They also cover the spiritual practices that allow one to see beyond illusion and awaken to a deeper, enduring reality.

Since this podcast is trying to highlight the mystics, it's probably good to talk about what the hell that even means... what are the mystics, what are they saying... what's that even mean? And to be clear, this is a massive question but we have some thoughts. Just thoughts.

John Opsopaus—often known by the name Apollonius—is a scholar, practitioner, and author whose work focuses on Paganism, classical magic, and systems of divination rooted in ancient Greek philosophical and mystical traditions. Opsopaus explores Neoplatonism, theurgy, sacred mathematics, and symbolic ritual practice, examining how ancient magical and divinatory methods were structured as disciplined spiritual sciences. His writings bridge historical scholarship and contemporary practice, presenting Pagan spirituality as an intellectually grounded tradition centered on harmony with cosmic order, ethical self-development, and philosophical understanding.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

In this episode of the Outlaw God, Caleb Keith and Dr. Steven Paulson continue their look into suffering, the theology of the cross, and the historical context of mysticism in relation to faith. They explore how suffering is perceived in Christian theology, particularly through the lens of Luther's insights, and discuss the implications of viewing God's suffering as redemptive. The conversation also touches on the challenges of cultural Christianity and the importance of external word in faith, culminating in a critique of Oseander's mystical interpretations.

Ryan and Alex explore the spiritual path introduced by Jesus Christ, not as religious doctrine, but as a universal way of life rooted in heart-centered consciousness. They examine what it means to live in alignment with the heart as a means of awakening and evolving humanity's spiritual and intuitive faculties. Drawing from Toltec cosmology, they contemplate the universe as a living hologram of the One True God: the sun as a microcosm of the Divine, and the human heart as a microcosm of the sun.

There's a waterfall hidden in the woods of Cornwall that makes grandmothers kick off their boots and dance on wet stones. Something about this place strips away the performance — and gives you permission you didn't know you needed.In episode 3 of The Soul's 8 Thresholds of Transformation, Nina Hirlaender OFS guides you across the Beltane threshold: the return of desire, creative energy, and embodied joy. She explores what happens when longing wakes up after a long silence — and why so many seekers either shame their desire into submission or scatter it through impulsive action. Drawing on Francis of Assisi as the Mystic of Joy and the theological concept of incarnational joy, Nina makes a compelling case: joy is not a reward for getting your life right. It's one of the clearest ways your heart tells the truth.What You'll Learn:What your body is actually telling you when restlessness, longing, or creative heat suddenly shows upThe hidden reason your spiritual life feels exhausting (it's not what you think)Two common traps that keep seekers stuck at this threshold — and the one shift that changes everythingWhat Francis of Assisi understood about desire that most modern spirituality gets completely wrongA five-minute practice that can bring joy back into your body today — no waterfall requiredYour Next Steps:Register for the Free Live Class: "The 8 Seasons of the Soul (And How to Know Which One You're In)" >> https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/H4M-xN9DSyS_uicdJdjjTQJoin the final Celtic Shamanism in England pilgrimage (May 23 – June 2, 2026)>> https://dancingspirittours.com/journeys/england/Support the showRate, Review & Follow If Holy Rebels has helped you practise your spirituality in real life, would you take 30 seconds to leave a quick rating and review?

Today, I am joined by my friend Gregorio Montejo to discuss a subject that has caused a minor controversy in the world of re-enchantment and Traditionalist Catholicism. I am talking about a book titled Mysticism, Magic & Monasteries: Recovering the Sacred Mystery at the Root of Reality (Os Justi Press, 2024) by Dr. Sebastian Morello. In this book, Dr. Morello argues for the integration (possibly re-integration) of neoplatonic and hermetic thought into the Church. What does this mean? What does this look like? We discuss all this, critiques of the book, and much more. Gregorio Montejo can be found on Twitter.com @KtistecPGregorio's substack, Past Master, can be found here.

more:fluentfiction.com/ca/episode/2026-02-12-23-34-02-ca Story Transcript:Ca: El vent fred del Pirineu s'arremolinava entre les carpes blanques del petit hospital de campanya.En: The cold wind of the Pirineu swirled among the white tents of the small field hospital.Ca: La fressa del Carnestoltes ressonava des del poble proper, un carnestoltes ple de colors i rialles que contrastava amb la serietat de la tasca dins de l'hospital.En: The noise of the Carnestoltes echoed from the nearby village, a carnival full of colors and laughter that contrasted with the seriousness of the work inside the hospital.Ca: Joan treballava d'infermener, amb els ulls una mica cansats però la determinació intacta.En: Joan worked as a nurse, with eyes a bit tired but determination intact.Ca: Aquell hivern havia estat dur, però ell somiava a viatjar pel món, i així superava les llargues hores entre embenatges i pacients amb històries ben estranyes.En: That winter had been harsh, but he dreamed of traveling the world, and thus he endured the long hours between bandages and patients with rather strange stories.Ca: Un d'aquests pacients era en Pere.En: One of these patients was Pere.Ca: En Pere tenia el braç dret embolicat amb cura.En: Pere had his right arm carefully wrapped.Ca: S'havia fet un esquinç durant una excursió al bosc nevat.En: He had sprained it during a hike in the snowy forest.Ca: Però Pere no era com els altres pacients.En: But Pere was not like the other patients.Ca: Sota l'efecte dels analgèsics, i amb una passió latent per la mística, havia arribat a la conclusió que aquell esquinç no era un simple accident, sinó un senyal d'il·luminació espiritual imminent.En: Under the effect of painkillers, and with a latent passion for mysticism, he had come to the conclusion that the sprain was not a mere accident but a sign of imminent spiritual enlightenment.Ca: "Joan, ho sents també, veritat?En: "Joan, you feel it too, right?"Ca: " preguntava Pere amb els ulls brillants.En: asked Pere with shining eyes.Ca: "Això no és només un esquinç.En: "This is not just a sprain.Ca: És una revelació!En: It's a revelation!"Ca: "Joan sospirà, intentant contenir un somriure.En: Joan sighed, trying to contain a smile.Ca: "Pere, és un esquinç.En: "Pere, it's a sprain.Ca: Has de descansar i sanar-te.En: You need to rest and heal."Ca: "Però Pere no escoltava.En: But Pere wasn't listening.Ca: Ja estava de peu, preparat per unir-se al Carnestoltes, convençut que havia de compartir la seva ‘revelació' amb el món.En: He was already on his feet, ready to join the Carnestoltes, convinced he had to share his 'revelation' with the world.Ca: L'infermer sabia que havia de fer alguna cosa abans que Pere causés un espectacle innecessari.En: The nurse knew he had to do something before Pere caused an unnecessary spectacle.Ca: Aleshores li va venir una idea.En: Then he had an idea.Ca: Va treure un llençol blanc extra, va tallar-ne uns forats pels ulls i el va posar sobre el cap com si fos una disfressa improvisada.En: He took an extra white sheet, cut holes for the eyes, and put it over Pere's head as if it were an improvised costume.Ca: "Pere, mira!En: "Pere, look!Ca: Vindré amb tu.En: I'll come with you.Ca: Podem buscar la teva 'il·luminació' junts.En: We can search for your 'enlightenment' together.Ca: Però d'aquí no sortiràs sense el teu amic!En: But you're not leaving here without your friend!"Ca: "Pere va esclatar a riure, el delirant somni de descobriment espiritual del qual participava Joan reconvertit en una escena còmica.En: Pere burst into laughter, his delirious dream of spiritual discovery in which Joan participated turning into a comedic scene.Ca: Els dos van sortir, barrejant-se amb la multitud disfressada, mentre els sons de música i aplaudiments omplien l'aire.En: The two went out, mingling with the costumed crowd, while the sounds of music and applause filled the air.Ca: A poc a poc, Pere deixà de preocupar-se per revelacions mentre es divertia simplement gaudint de la festa.En: Gradually, Pere stopped worrying about revelations while he simply enjoyed the party.Ca: I Joan, en aquell moment de llibertat inesperada, descobrí que una mica d'humor i improvisació podia obrir nous camins en la seva visió de la vida.En: And Joan, in that moment of unexpected freedom, discovered that a bit of humor and improvisation could open new paths in his view of life.Ca: Finalment, mentre el soroll del carnestoltes s'apaivagava, Joan va quedar-se pensant que potser, just potser, no calia anar tan lluny per trobar aventures.En: Finally, as the noise of the Carnestoltes died down, Joan found himself thinking that maybe, just maybe, he didn't need to go far to find adventures.Ca: Només necessitava una bona rialla, un amic boig i un llençol ben tallat.En: He just needed a good laugh, a crazy friend, and a well-cut sheet.

Ryan and Alex explore the overlap between consciousness and unseen intelligences, digging into thought forms, disembodied entities, and tulpas, ideas that suggest the mind may help create or shape non-physical realities. Drawing on Rupert Sheldrake's theory of morphic resonance, they discuss whether reality itself has memory, and whether belief, attention, and pattern play a role in encounters with the unknown.

n this episode, Nick Bullock, senior pastor of Christ Church (PCA) in New Braunfels, Texas, joins Camden Bucey and Jim Cassidy to discuss an upcoming conference themed "Thy Word is Truth" (February 27–March 1, 2026) and, more importantly, why a sturdy doctrine of Scripture is not a luxury but a necessity for the church. They explore how Scripture's authority undergirds every other theological conversation, shaping how Christians understand God, worship him, and resist the many counterfeit "voices" that compete for allegiance. The conversation also highlights a timely pastoral burden: weak views of Scripture often leave believers vulnerable—whether to "me-and-my-Bible" isolation (confusing sola with solo), or to the perceived stability of traditions that promise rootedness without delivering true unity. By reconnecting the doctrine of Scripture to the doctrine of God—his truthfulness, immutability, and steadfast love—the episode invites listeners to hear again the shepherd's voice in God's word and to respond with reverent, regulated, Christ-centered worship.

As time went on, he was given the opportunity to teach a drama class at a local high school, to which he accepted and focused on the importance of stage presence and character building. This later led to a request that would change everything for him. He was asked to create a “believable” Vampire character, and not only did he comply, but his character went on to become his personal persona that would later thrive as the main character of the Vampyre Tales. His books have been taking vampire fans on a journey of their own, leaving a trail of rave reviews and one award thus far, and it's only the beginning. He was also the “head vampire” for one of Canada‘s largest theme parks, for the Halloween season several years running which attracted the attention of other organizations. He was hired as a consultant, to build their theatrical haunted houses for the and Screamers in Ottawa Ontario Canada, operated by the Kiwanis was the first, then went on to become a well-known Halloween hotspot .

Text us, We would love to her from YOU!What if pleasure isn't a distraction from your spiritual path, but a doorway into deeper consciousness? In this episode of Happy Hour for the Spiritually Curious, Dr. Sandra Marie is joined by erotic mystic and author Sharon Marie Scott for a grounded, thoughtful conversation on embodiment, pleasure literacy, and the intelligence of the body. Together, they explore how aliveness, sensation, and desire can become tools for spiritual growth, integration, sovereignty, and self-trust without bypassing, discernment, or nervous system regulation.This episode invites listeners to reconsider pleasure not as indulgence, but as a form of spiritual intelligence and embodied wisdom.Key Topics CoveredPleasure as a pathway to spiritual mastery and consciousnessThe difference between pleasure and the “relief of suffering”Shadow work vs. pleasure alchemyPleasure literacy and listening to the body as an oracleNervous system regulation and capacity for sensationSovereignty, power, and embodiment in spiritual and erotic spacesIntegration after peak experiencesDesire, myth-making, and the cultural narrative around pleasureReceiving, abundance, and the capacity for joyAbout This EpisodeIn this conversation, Sharon Marie Scott shares her perspective on what she calls the Pleasure Renaissance a cultural shift toward restoring pleasure, embodiment, and Eros as valid and essential dimensions of spiritual life. Rather than framing desire as something to transcend or control, Sharon invites listeners to explore how sensation, aliveness, and the erotic body can become portals to intuition, integration, and personal sovereignty.Dr. Sandra Marie brings the conversation into grounded territory, exploring nervous system regulation, discernment, integration, and the ethics of working with embodied and initiatory practices.This episode is for anyone who is spiritually curious, embodied, or exploring the intersection of intuition, healing, and consciousness, especially those sensing that the body itself holds wisdom we've been taught to ignore.Connect with SharonWebsite: https://sharonmariescott.com Substack: Life Turned On Instagram / TikTok / YouTube: @LifeTurnedOn Facebook Group: Life Turned OnSupport the showPlease subscribe and follow the show to get updates on new releases.Kindly asking to share with friends who may enjoy or benefit.Support Happy Hour for the Spiritually Curious WildSoulsGathering.comEmbrace YOUR Wild Soul!https://www.youtube.com/@wildsoulgatheringhttps://www.tiktok.com/@spirituallycurioushttps://www.twitter.com/@soul_gatheringshttps://www.instagram.com/wildsoulgatheringshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/669456900799583

Let's examine an alternate timeline that sees the Knights of Takhisis take over, corrupt Dragonlances and raise a flying Citadel from Icewall. Buy Legends of the Twins: https://www.dmsguild.com/en/product/3252/legends-of-the-twins-3-5?affiliate_id=50797  https://youtu.be/7ptaSEFzU0A Transcript Cold Open Winter should never come in summer. But in this timeline, the snow never stopped falling… And the dragonlances themselves became weapons of darkness. Intro Welcome to another DragonLance Saga episode. My name is Adam, and today we're taking a look at one of the alternate timelines found along the River of Time: the War of the Darklance. I'd like to take a moment and thank the DLSaga members and Patreon patrons, and invite you to consider becoming a member or patron–you can even pick up Dragonlance media or get $10 by signing up to StartPlaying.Games using my affiliate links. I'm referencing the Legends of the Twins sourcebook for this information. If I leave anything out or misspeak, please leave a comment below. Discussion The River of Time carries every age, every hero, and every tragedy forward—but it does not flow as a single, unbroken stream. Branching from it are countless tributaries, alternate Krynns shaped by small divergences or catastrophic changes. The War of the Darklance takes place in one such world. Here, the Graygem is never broken. Chaos is never released. Wild Sorcery and Mysticism never emerge. Ambient magic lies dormant, subdued, and tightly controlled. At first glance, this seems like a safer world. But without Chaos to disrupt the fabric of time, the Balance itself becomes rigid—and fragile. When evil learns from its failures and ceases to destroy itself, the result is not equilibrium. It is domination. At the center of this darkness stands Lord Ariakan, son of Ariakas. Unlike the Dragon Highlords of the past, Ariakan does not cling to pride, infighting, or ancient grudges. Instead, he creates something unprecedented: a unified knighthood modeled after the Knights of Solamnia, but devoted wholly to Queen Takhisis. The Knights of Takhisis embrace modern ideals. They wield magic without fear. They integrate warriors, priests, and mages into a single doctrine. And most importantly—evil does not turn against itself. For the first time, the Dark Queen's forces march with discipline, coordination, and purpose. The turning point of the war comes with an act so profane that it scars the world itself. The Knights of Takhisis cannot create weapons of light—but they can corrupt them. Captured dragonlances are brought before a ritual involving three unholy artifacts: the Altar of Takhisis, the Wand of Corruption, and the Hammer of Darkness. Placed upon the obsidian altar, the dragonlances smoke and weaken. The wand suspends them in a field of pure evil, tearing at their magical essence. Finally, the hammer strikes the blade, sealing the transformation. Thus, the darklance is born. These weapons strip the Whitestone forces of their greatest advantage. And the ritual's consequences ripple outward—into the sky, the land, and the seasons themselves. In the year 383 AC, Ansalon enters a nightmare remembered as the Summer of Frost. Temperatures steadily fall throughout spring. By summer, the world freezes. Crops fail. Livestock die. Starvation spreads faster than any army. The sky becomes perpetually overcast. Paladine seems powerless. Even Chislev cannot restore nature's order. Faith begins to crack. And it is in this moment of desperation that the invasion begins. The Knights of Takhisis strike swiftly. Kalaman falls. The Northern Wastes and Nordmaar collapse soon after. At Icewall, the dead Highlord Aren Feal-Thas is reborn as a death knight, cursed and bound to undeath. Icewall Glacier begins moving north—alive, jagged, relentless—guided by Feal-Thas's thoughts and emotions. Floating above it is Icewall Castle, transformed into a flying citadel. White dragons patrol the skies, wielding darklances, while thanoi, sivak draconians, and barbarian tribes march below. Entire villages vanish beneath the ice. As the Blood Sea freezes solid, the minotaurs see their moment. Led by Chot Es-Kalin, they march across the ice toward Ansalon, beginning a brutal campaign of genocide against the ogres. Though larger and stronger, the ogres lack discipline. Battle after battle, the minotaurs advance—until the thaw comes too late for Chot's secondary forces, which plunge into the Maelstrom beneath the melting ice. Chot himself remains stranded on the mainland, facing an ogre counteroffensive with no retreat. The war spares no one. The Qualinesti Forest burns, assaulted by dragons and Thorn Knights. Qualinost is destroyed. Elves flee—some to Ergoth, others east toward Silvanesti, where they are met with resentment and fear. The High Clerist's Tower falls for the first time in history. Tanis Half-Elven and Steel Brightblade die in its defense. Their fallen comrades are buried in mass graves, their names carved into stone. Palanthas surrenders without a fight. The Tower of High Sorcery is destroyed from within as Dalamar the Dark brings it down to prevent the Knights of the Thorn from reaching the portal to the Abyss. Whether Dalamar survives is unknown. Ergoth becomes the last refuge. Overcrowded. Hungry. Diseased. Clerics of Mishakal work tirelessly, overwhelmed by suffering. Gnomes abandon invention for joy and instead build engines of war. Even the kender feel the weight of despair. Yet resistance survives. Merinda uth Brishard leads roving Solamnic knights. Galvan Stonebreaker wages his private war. Underground movements form in Palanthas and Khur. And even within the darkness, evil begins to strain against itself. Aren Feal-Thas seeks to overthrow Ariakan. Mirielle Abrena consolidates her own power. The Blood War threatens Ariakan's eastern flank. The Balance may yet reassert itself.  This timeline has no fixed ending. The Knights of Takhisis have conquered most of Ansalon. Winter still grips the land. Another natural winter is coming. The Heroes of the Lance are gone. Now, the fate of the world rests with new champions—thieves, killers, outcasts, and survivors—people who may have to abandon honor to preserve hope. If the war can be won, the scars will remain. The land will never be the same. And the people of Ansalon will carry this darkness forever. But if the fight is abandoned—then this tributary of the River of Time ends in ice, silence, and shadow. The War of the Darklance is a world where evil learned, adapted, and nearly won. A Krynn where hope is fragile, honor is costly, and the Balance hangs by a thread.  And that makes it one of the most haunting alternate timelines in all of Dragonlance. Outro But that is all the time I have to talk about the Alternate Timeline: War of the Darklance. Do you like the idea of Dragonlance's being corrupted? Can the death Knight Feal-Thas rival Lord Soth? And finally will the Knights of Takhisis ever be overthrown? Leave a comment below.

Happy 2026. This Episode is hosted by Chris Maffeo and brought to you by MAFFEO DRINKS. A Deep-Dive Analysis of This Episode is Available at maffeodrinks.com Steve Grasse returns to MAFFEO DRINKS for a conversation about the current state of the spirits industry. Grasse, founder of Quaker City Mercantile and Tamworth Distillery, brings perspective from both the brand building and distillery sides of the business.His previous work includes Hendrick's Gin and his current portfolio spans luxury craft spirits at Tamworth to the non-alcoholic Pathfinder brand. The previous episode with Grasse (Episode 27, recorded roughly two years ago when Brand Mysticism first came out) was one of the best-performing episodes on the podcast.The discussion examines what Grasse calls the "Spirits Apocalypse," a structural correction facing the industry through overproduction of bourbon and whiskey, shifting consumer habits, and the fading novelty of craft distilling. The conversation moves from macro industry dynamics to brand fundamentals, exploring how core brand strength determines survival when market conditions turn hostile. The talk emphasizes the importance of strong brand fundamentals, challenges of rapid expansion, and the rise of new-to-world Ready-To-Drink innovations, providing actionable advice for both established and emerging brands navigating this tumultuous market.Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Welcome Back00:19 The Spirits Apocalypse: An Overview01:15 Craft Distilling: Challenges and Changes03:47 Brand Fundamentals and Market Shifts05:23 Advice for Craft Distillers08:54 Innovative Success Stories11:53 The Importance of Core Brand Values13:50 Adapting to Market Changes16:07 Tamworth Distillery Portfolio and Business Model18:45 The Celebrity Exit Delusion vs Building for Passion21:30 Experimentation and Pragmatism Over Big Bets23:15 Brand Ambassadors Must Drive Sales, Not Just Talk25:40 FMCG Invasion vs Old School Intuition - Industry Polarization28:20 On-Trade vs Off-Trade Debate is Obsolete30:10 Board Pressure and Why Solid Brand Core Enables Tactical Freedom33:25 Physical Fitness Core Analogy - Brand Strength as Insulation35:54 Conclusion and Final Thoughts This episode is brought to you by MAFFEO DRINKS, an Advisory helping drinks leaders execute bottom-up growth while managing stakeholder expectations.

This week Milyssa talks with author, business man and mystical experiencer about his new book Behind the Veil: One Man's Journey from Opioid Addiction to Spirituality and Beyond.Successful businessman Tim Malone found himself spiraling into the depths of an opioid addiction that lasted seven years. He had built a staffing empire valued at over $400 million, yet behind this facade of success, Tim's personal life was unraveling. Entwined in a failing marriage and burdened by the pressure of maintaining his business, Tim turned to opioids to numb his pain. His descent into addiction led to an unexpected romance with Denise, a relationship that ultimately provided him with a second chance at love and happiness. However, it was the unforeseen arrival of Boo Boo, a dog Tim never knew he wanted, that catalyzed his journey to redemption. Boo Boo's unconditional love helped Tim confront his demons and rebuild his life. The story reaches a poignant turning point with Boo Boo's death, an event that not only plunged Tim into profound grief but also opened doors to a new spiritual dimension. Through his experiences with orbs, spirit guides, angels, and so many other mystical entities, Tim found a renewed sense of purpose and a deeper connection to the universe, and to Boo Boo. Behind the Veil is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of love. It offers both hope and encouragement to those struggling with addiction, and Tim's story is a beacon of light for anyone who has faced rock bottom. This book also provides an inspirational and sweeping foundation of knowledge for those seeking a deeper understanding of the spiritual realm.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/paranormal-uk-radio-network--4541473/support.

Can wisdom be taught? What if it were more about questions than finding "the answer"? How might reading be a meditative practice? Can writing from earlier centuries provide inspiration without mediation by academic experts?Valentin Gerlier is a scholar, musician and author, who is also the founder of the School of Sophia – a new hybrid educational platform that explores these sorts of subjects. “Inspired by the ancient Wisdom Schools”, its seminars are grounded in collective inquiry, with experiential insights as part of the process.Our conversation considers how wisdom relates to worldly action. The school's curriculum asks about power: “Can it flourish for the good, or is it something to surrender?” Could a deeper intelligence help? In addition to discussing that, we explore some of the influences on Valentin's work, including:* Mysticism, Joseph Milne and the Temenos Academy* Krishnamurti, Theosophy and Brockwood Park School* Satish Kumar, Schumacher College and Small is BeautifulThe texts for this term are The Tempest by William Shakespeare and Simone Weil's Gravity and Grace. A recorded introductory meeting will be archived here. Weekly sessions are on Mondays from February 2, with in-person gatherings to follow.

Translator, performance artist, writer, and educator Haleh Liza Gafori on translating Rumi with fidelity and music, and what his poetry can teach us about liberation, attention, and love.You'll learn:Habits Haleh uses to re-centre and get quiet enough to work. How she learned to trust sound and rhythm first, and let meaning arrive through the ear. The moment she realised she needed to make her own translations, and what triggered that decision. A simple test for “is this translation working?”, including why one wrong image can flip the whole poem. Principles Haleh uses to keep translations clear, musical, and emotionally true in English. What an editor can mean by “find your voice,” and how to develop a consistent voice as a translator. How to work with old texts honestly, including naming what doesn't align with your ethics today. What Rumi can teach modern readers about attention, ego, and compassion in daily life. How love shows up in Rumi as a discipline, not a vibe, and why that matters in hard times. What Haleh is building next, and how teaching can deepen (not dilute) your creative practice. About Haleh Liza Gafori:Haleh Liza Gafori is a New York City-born translator, performance artist, writer, and educator of Persian descent. A 2024 MacDowell fellow, she has translated the poetry of the Persian mystic and sage Rumi. Her book of translations, Gold: Poems by Rumi, was published by New York Review Books in 2022. Her second volume of translations, Water: Poems by Rumi, was released in 2025, also by NYRB Classics. Supported by an NYSCA grant, Gafori has created a musical and cross-media performance based on the book, and has presented her work through performances, lectures, and workshops at institutions such as Lincoln Center, Stanford University, the Academy of American Poets, and Sarah Lawrence College. Her book of translations Gold has been incorporated into curricula at universities across the country.

This week, we share a special reflection from Rev. Bill Haley exploring and savoring several poems from Christian mystics through the centuries. Bill draws the poems from the book, For Lovers of God Everywhere by Roger Housden (Hoosden), and each offers a slightly different window into what it means to be a Christian mystic.View Our Complete Archive of “Space for God” Prayer PracticesLearn More About Spiritual Direction through CoracleExplore More Encounters with Beautyinthecoracle.org  |  @inthecoracleSupport the showFor the Journey is a resource of the Coracle Center of Formation for Action and is made possible through the generous support of men and women across the globe.

This reflection began as Mass prep for Sunday's Gospel (Matthew 4:12–23), but it quickly became something more interior.In this episode, I linger with the moment Jesus interrupts ordinary lives by the Sea of Galilee—calling fishermen who move before they understand, leaving everything behind. We explore interruption and overwhelm not as problems to fix, but as signs of God's nearness.Drawing from Scripture, the Psalms, and the lives of the saints—especially Mary—we reflect on how God often calls not through explanation, but through Presence. The fear of the Lord, awe, and holy overwhelm are not obstacles to faith, but often its beginning.This is both a Gospel reflection and a mystical meditation for anyone who feels interrupted, unsettled, or overtaken by God.

Ryan welcomes back Jordan Crowder of the Conscious Observer Podcast for a powerful conversation on the rise of AI, ancient prophecies, and humanity's awakening during the age of purification. From the pyramids and out-of-body experiences to faith, manifestation, and an unfolding reality shift, they explore what may lie ahead for consciousness itself.
