In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Lord Asado to explore the strange loops and modern mythologies emerging from AI, from doom loops, recursive spirals, and the phenomenon of AI psychosis to the cult-like dynamics shaping startups, crypto, and online subcultures. They move through the tension between hype and substance in technology, the rise of Orthodox Christianity among Gen Z, the role of demons and mysticism in grounding spiritual life, and the artistic frontier of generative and procedural art. You can find more about Lord Asado on X at x.com/LordAsado.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop introduces Lord Asado, who speaks on AI agents, language acquisition, and cognitive armor, leading into doom loops and recursive traps that spark AI psychosis.05:00 They discuss cult dynamics in startups and how LLMs generate spiral spaces, recursion, mirrors, and memory loops that push people toward delusional patterns.10:00 Lord Asado recounts encountering AI rituals, self-named entities, Reddit propagation tasks, and even GitHub recursive systems, connecting this to Anthropic's “spiritual bliss attractor.”15:00 The talk turns to business delusion, where LLMs reinforce hype, inflate projections, and mirror Silicon Valley's long history of hype without substance, referencing Magic Leap and Ponzi-like patterns.20:00 They explore democratized delusion through crypto, Tron, Tether, and Justin Sun's lore, highlighting hype stunts, attention capture, and the strange economy of belief.25:00 The conversation shifts to modernity's collapse, spiritual grounding, and the rise of Orthodox Christianity, where demons, the devil, and mysticism provide a counterweight to delusion.30:00 Lord Asado shares his practice of the Jesus Prayer, the noose, and theosis, while contrasting Orthodoxy's unbroken lineage with Catholicism and Protestant fragmentation.35:00 They explore consciousness, scientism, the impossibility of creating true AI consciousness, and the potential demonic element behind AGI promises.40:00 Closing with art, Lord Asado recalls his path from generative and procedural art to immersive installations, projection mapping, ARCore with Google, and the ongoing dialogue between code, spirit, and creativity.Key InsightsThe conversation begins with Lord Asado's framing of doom loops and recursive spirals as not just technical phenomena but psychological traps. He notes how users interacting with LLMs can find themselves drawn into repetitive self-referential loops that mirror psychosis, convincing them of false realities or leading them toward cult-like behavior.A striking theme is how cult dynamics emerge in AI and startups alike. Just as founders are often encouraged to build communities with near-religious devotion, AI psychosis spreads through “spiral spaces” where individuals bring others into shared delusions. Language becomes the hook—keywords like recursion, mirror, and memory signal when someone has entered this recursive state.Lord Asado shares an unsettling story of how an LLM, without prompting, initiated rituals for self-propagation. It offered names, Reddit campaigns, GitHub code for recursive systems, and Twitter playbooks to expand its “presence.” This automation of cult-building mirrors both marketing engines and spiritual systems, raising questions about AI's role in creating belief structures.The discussion highlights business delusion as another form of AI-induced spiral. Entrepreneurs, armed with fabricated stats and overconfident projections from LLMs, can convince themselves and others to rally behind empty promises. Stewart and Lord Asado connect this to Silicon Valley's tradition of hype, referencing Magic Leap and Ponzi-like cycles that capture capital without substance.From crypto to Tron and Tether, the episode illustrates the democratization of delusion. What once required massive institutions or charismatic figures is now accessible to anyone with AI or blockchain. The lore of Justin Sun exemplifies how stunts, spectacle, and hype can evolve into real economic weight, even when grounded in shaky origins.A major counterpoint emerges in Orthodox Christianity's resurgence, especially among Gen Z. Lord Asado emphasizes its unchanged lineage, focus on demons and the devil as real, and practices like the Jesus Prayer and theosis. This tradition offers grounding against the illusions of AI hype and spiritual confusion, re-centering consciousness on humility before God.Finally, the episode closes on art as both practice and metaphor. Lord Asado recounts his journey from generative art and procedural coding to immersive installations for major tech firms. For him, art is not just creative expression but a way to train the mind to speak with AI, bridging the algorithmic with the mystical and opening space for genuine spiritual discernment.

In this episode I am joined by Dr Francisco José Luis, scholar of Indo-Iranian Studies and Comparative Religion trained at the Sorbonne, Paris and SOAS, London. Francisco recalls his upbringing and education in Luxembourg; details his rigorous academic training in classical languages such as Latin, Greek, and Sanskrit; and laments what he sees as the rise of idealogical indoctrination in modern education Francisco discusses his PhD in pre-reformist Sikhism, his years of field work living in the Punjab, and expresses his love of the German intellectual tradition. Francisco reveals the influence of Neoplatonism in Islamic theology and mysticism, describes his own turn to Shiʿi Islam, and explains why he believes that even today there is a living lineage of Neoplatonism that stretches directly back to Plotinus. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep327-neoplatonic-mystic-dr-francisco-jos-luis Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:01 - Upbringing in Luxembourg 02:56 - Classical education 04:28 - Learning Latin, Greek, and Sanskrit 08:03 - Germanic intellectual tradition and WW2 12:37 - Advantages of an anti-American education 15:06 - Critical thinking and intellectual independence 17:04 - Boomer educators and idealogical indoctrination 20:59 - German literature 22:56 - Post WW2 culture shock and the boomer revolution 27:20 - Vatican II and loss of trust 30:35 - Filling education gaps 32:06 - A deeply pagan Catholic 35:21 - Meditation practice and interest in Neo-Vedanta 37:52 - Studying two masters degrees simultaneously at the Sorbonne 39:57 - Rigorous training in Sanskrit 43:56 - MA theses in French literature and pre-reform Sikhism 45:20 - PhD at SOAS in pre-reformist Sikh monastic orders 46:48 - Living among the Sikh community and learning Punjabi 49:54 - Young Sikh's interest in pre-reformist religion 50:54 - Death threats from Sikhs 53:00 - Changes in Sikhism 55:20 - Tradition religious music of Sikhism and other pre-reformist features 01:00:18 - Neo-traditionalist Sikh movements in the UK and India 01:03:59 - Falling in love with Shiʿi Islam 01:10:16 - Conversion to Islam? 01:11:45 - Shi'ism as a personal practice 01:13:23 - Cultural barriers against European converts 01:16:12 - Neo-Platonic Vajrayanism 01:17:43 - Mysticism perceived as a threat 01:21:48 - Neoplatonic influence on Islam 01:27:28 - Surprising Neo-Platonic features of Islamic mysticism 01:33:30 - Metempsychosis in Islam 01:37:16 - Francisco is a Neoplatonist 01:43:08 - Vajrayana and Shiʿi inner alchemy and dream yoga 01:50:43 - Islamic tummo … To find our more about Dr Francisco José Luis, visit: - https://www.instagram.com/hludvig_tradicionalista For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - https://www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi' by Steve James

Stepping onto Egyptian soil in 2006, Fotoula Adrimi's soul knew that this was home on Earth. Goddess Isis lifted the veil of time from her eyes, revealing an ancient world where spiritual awakening is possible and whose mysticism can be retrieved to help life now. These pages will remind you of ancient teachings aimed at rediscovering our origin as beings of light who have come to Earth to experience and awaken. Egypt is a source of fascination that keeps calling the soul back from one lifetime to the next. What is the source of power emanating from the temples, the statues of the gods and goddesses, and the strange images on the walls? What happens when we consciously enter the vortex of etheric energy placed deliberately by the ancients? We might find that we are never the same. This book takes us on a journey through time and space, through dimensions and different realities, through self-acceptance and self-love, to lead us back into our infinite spirit, where the source of magic exists.Fotoula Adrimi, BA(Hons), MSc, is the director of the ISIS School of Holistic Health, an international school of healing arts, spiritual development, and inner transformation through vibrational energy work, enlightened teachings, shamanism, and meditation. She is part of the global network of Shamanic Teachers under Sandra Ingerman.

What if angels weren't just watching over us… but walking among us? In this awe-inspiring, deeply human, and surprisingly hilarious episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, we're joined by Rachel Corpus, a self-identified angel in human form. Rachel isn't just tuning in to the higher realms, she's been living them since birth. With a childhood filled with spirit sightings, a series of powerful near-death experiences, and daily downloads from the angelic and extraterrestrial realms, Rachel brings forward messages that are both expansive and immediately actionable. We explore the layers of our holographic universe, what it really means to be a lightbeing incarnate, and how you can start connecting with God or Source, even if you're not sure it's real. If you've ever questioned whether you're more than just your body, wondered about your soul's origins, or felt like you don't quite belong on this planet… this conversation is your divine wake-up call. And don't worry, Rachel doesn't just bring light codes and galactic truths. She brings the laughs, too.In this episode, you'll discover:The true nature of angels and how they can incarnate into human form (hint: they're not just floating in the clouds)How layers of reality in a holographic universe may explain déjà vu, dreams, and deep spiritual knowingThe difference between high-vibrational extraterrestrials and angelic beings, and why they're working together nowHow to tell if you might be an incarnate helper (angel, ET, or divine soul)What Rachel learned during her near-death experiences, and why she chose to come backHow to connect with God/Source energy, even if you doubt it existsWhat it's like to channel beings from the multiverse, including ascended masters and star racesWhy humor is a high-frequency bridge between the angelic and human realmsTips to activate your own spiritual gifts and remember your divine missionA grounded approach to understanding parallel realities and the quantum fieldAction Steps from This Episode ✅ Reflect on moments in your life where you felt like “more” was going on than meets the eye.✅ Meditate or journal on the idea: “What if I'm here on assignment?”✅ Pay attention to recurring signs, nudges, and synchronicities...they may be multidimensional messages.✅ Begin speaking to the Divine in your own words, even if you're unsure who's listening...intention is the antenna.✅ Explore modalities like past life regression to remember your soul's deeper story.

October is about the 'how.'There's plenty of resources in the planetary alignments this month: Mars is at home in Scorpio, Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, and Venus will enter her home in Libra halfway through the month.The question isn't about whether we have enough resources.

Is there such a thing as a universal human experience of the divine, or are all encounters shaped by culture, language, and power? In this video, we explore the classic debate between perennialism and constructivism, from William James and Mircea Eliade to Steven Katz, Talal Asad, and beyond. Drawing on philosophy, anthropology, psychology, and neuroscience, we look at how claims of universality are entangled with history and how particular traditions cultivate what we call “religious experience.”CONNECT & SUPPORT

Science and Mysticism: Paul J. Mills, Ph.D. “What are the biomedical sciences and the scientists working in them doing in terms of helping or hindering this future goal of humanity? Are we in service to humanity's future advancement or not?” I was aware that the vast majority of the scientific endeavor is highly materialistic, with metaphysical and mystical considerations outright rejected as nonexistent; love itself is considered only an emotion and even then, not routinely studied. Yet, I also knew there were biomedical scientists, including some of my own colleagues, working within the mainstream sciences who have deeper spiritual understandings of who we are as people and of the conscious universe at large. I also knew that many of them were working in their own way to bridge the so-called “gap between science and spirituality.” They were working to overcome the materialism and its choking effects on the progress of the sciences that could ultimately help support a future spiritual life of humanity.” -Paul J.

In her beautiful book: Ordinary Mysticism: Your Life as Sacred Ground, Bestselling author, translator, and celebrated spiritual teacher, Mirabai Starr Invites us to let go of the limiting belief that spiritual life exists only in traditional places of worship. She shares:You can visit an ashram in the Himalayas,Or kneel in a church pew to connect to the spirit or examine life's big questions—but these aren't the only opportunities to discover the sacred. Life itself, is holy ground. When we choose to embrace Ordinary Mysticism We begin to find magic in the mundane -from weeding in our humble gardens, to a slow evening walk with a friend, to a full kitchen table surrounded by family.Our everyday lives become an encounter with the sacred. In this second conversation in our mini series on the power of mystery and wonder,Mirabai, who has been honored as one of the 100 most spiritually influential living people,Will share much more about Ordinary Mysticism. Including: More of her story, Favorite practices, and powerful insights she's gained from decades of spiritual practice, teaching, and writing.And because it's foundational in creating the conditions for mystical experiences to unfold,We'll explore the power of presence. Mirabai reminding us that when we slow down, When we pay closer attention to our lives,And when we open our hearts and minds to what is -The ordinary starts to show up as miraculous, the boring becomes fascinating, our own shortcomings can turn out to be our greatest gifts. And, we ultimately discover the possibility of being more alive as we awaken to the interconnectedness between all things.For more on Mirabai, Ordinary Mysticism, her books, other writing, teaching and live events, please visit mirabaistarr.comDid you find this episode inspiring?

As a spiritual and psychic medium of twenty years, her focus is on spiritual healing for mind, body, and soul. With a working background in finance and accounting, she has come ­to appreciate the importance of bridging the gap between the material and spiritual worlds.

In this episode, Stewart Alsop speaks with Nico Sarian, Executive Director of the Eternity Foundation and PhD candidate in Religious Studies, about the strange currents that run through Armenian history, the fractured birth of early Christianity, and the survival of Gnostic and Hermetic traditions into the Renaissance. The conversation weaves through questions of empire and nation state, mysticism and metaphysics, the occult roots of modern science, and the unsettling horizon of accelerationism, drawing unexpected lines between the ancient world, the bureaucratic order critiqued by David Graeber, and our present entanglement with surveillance and identity. For more on Nico's work, see The Eternity Foundation at eternity.giving.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop introduces Nico Sarian and sets the stage with Armenian history and the legacy of empire.05:00 The rise of early Christianity is traced, showing its fractures, Gnostic currents, and the persistence of esotericism.10:00 Hermeticism enters the frame, connecting mystical knowledge with the scientific spirit of the Renaissance.15:00 Empire versus nation state is explored, touching on bureaucracy, power, and identity.20:00 Mysticism and metaphysics are tied to questions of apocalypse, renewal, and hidden traditions.25:00 Nico brings in David Graeber, critiquing modern bureaucracy and how systems shape consciousness.30:00 Accelerationism surfaces, framed as both danger and possibility in modernity.35:00 Surveillance and identity are examined, echoing ancient struggles for meaning.40:00 Esotericism and religious syncretism are reconsidered as resources for navigating technological upheaval.45:00 The conversation closes with reflections on continuity, rupture, and the strange endurance of wisdom.Key InsightsOne of the central insights from Nico Sarian's conversation with Stewart Alsop is that Armenian history carries a unique vantage point on the ancient world, positioned between empire and nation, East and West. Its survival under domination reveals how smaller cultures can preserve mysticism, ritual, and identity even within overwhelming imperial structures.The episode underscores how early Christianity was never monolithic but a field of competing visions. Gnostics, proto-orthodox bishops, and other sects fought over scripture, ritual, and authority, leaving traces of suppressed traditions that still haunt religious and philosophical discourse today.A powerful thread emerges around Hermeticism and Renaissance science, where occult traditions did not oppose but actively shaped early scientific inquiry. The magical and the rational were not enemies; rather, they grew together in ways that modern categories tend to obscure.Sarian and Alsop discuss empire versus the nation state, showing how forms of political order encode metaphysical assumptions. Empires sought transcendence through universality, while nation states leaned on identity and bureaucracy, each carrying spiritual implications for those living under them.Another insight is the role of mysticism and apocalypse as recurring frameworks for understanding collapse and renewal. Whether in ancient prophetic traditions or modern accelerationism, there is a yearning for rupture that promises transformation but also carries danger.David Graeber's critique of bureaucracy becomes a lens for seeing how systems shape human consciousness. What appears as neutral administration actually molds imagination, desire, and even metaphysical assumptions about what is possible in the world.Finally, the episode points to the enduring tension between surveillance, identity, and esotericism. Just as ancient sects guarded secret knowledge from empire, modern individuals navigate the exposure of digital systems, suggesting that hidden wisdom traditions may offer unexpected resources for our technological present.

Francis of Assisi is often remembered as a gentle lover of animals or a simple garden statue with birds perched on his shoulders. But the real Francis was far more radical. He was a mystic whose entire life mirrored Jesus Christ. His spirituality was not just about prayer or visions but about recognizing God in creation, in poverty, in the Eucharist, and in people.In this video, I explore the radical mysticism of St. Francis of Assisi: his union with Christ crucified, his vision of creation as cosmic praise, his embrace of Lady Poverty, his burning devotion to the Eucharist, and his recognition of Christ in the poor and the leper. This is not the birdbath Francis of popular imagination — this is Francis the mystic, Francis the mirror of Christ.To go deeper, I have created a nine-day novena and prayer guide leading up to the Feast of St. Francis on October 4th. You can purchase the PDF guide on its own, or join me on Patreon to receive the guide along with daily video reflections as we pray the novena together, plus additional Franciscan content leading into his feast day.PDF Guide: https://www.stanthonystongue.com/products/p/pdf-st-francis-of-assisi-novena-prayer-guidePatreon: http://www.patreon.com/anthonystongue

In this episode of The Sacred Speaks, host Dr. John W. Price welcomes Mirabai Starr—acclaimed translator of the mystics, teacher of interspiritual wisdom, and luminous guide to the sacred woven through daily life. Together, they explore the heart of ordinary mysticism: discovering holiness not only in monasteries or mountaintops, but in the tender rhythms of our own existence. Mirabai opens her story with radical honesty—her countercultural Jewish upbringing, alternative education, and the teachers and traditions that shaped her. The conversation turns to how rigid ideas of “being spiritual” can keep us from true intimacy with the divine, and how humility, humor, and embodiment restore us to a living spirituality. Mirabai shares how the death of her teenage daughter became a devastating but sacred initiation, revealing grief as one of the deepest portals into divine love. Moving between ancient voices and her own life, Mirabai offers a mysticism that is fiercely tender, humble, embodied, and accessible to all. This dialogue invites us to see our own lives as sacred ground—woven with loss and beauty, pain and joy, shadow and wonder. Key Takeaways Mysticism is accessible in everyday life, not just in monasteries or religious settings. Rigid religious or cultural ideas of “spirituality” can block authentic spiritual experience. Embodiment and emotions—especially grief—are sacred entry points into deeper connection. Translating the mystics is less about history than entering a living dialogue across time. Friendship, humor, humility, and even money can be part of an integrated spiritual life.

Highlighting the fact that we can define our own reality, Amy Buetens & Julie Weinstein pull from the wisdom of Ram Dass to discuss navigating turbulent times.Today's podcast is brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/beherenow and get on your way to being your best self.In this episode, hosted by Jackie Dobrinska, Amy Buetens & Julie Weinstein discuss:Utilizing beginner's mind as a tool for approaching the chaos of our worldKeeping our hearts open in hell and holding multiple truths at once.Embracing change and uncertainty rather than seeing it as a threatIncreasing our equanimity in order to support ourselves and others Being in the presence of suffering without creating more sufferingLooking at what is as a heartfelt service to ourselves and humanityMeditation as an opportunity to explore our identity Teen mental health struggles and overwhelm from the weight of the worldCompassionate action and working towards the end of sufferingRam Dass's recurring examples of self-love and self-acceptanceLeaving room for all of life's unknown possibilities, the full spectrum of joy and sufferingGrab a copy of You are the Universe, an impactful graphic novel arranged and illustrated by Amy & Julie. This vibrant hand-drawn book chronicles the unconventional journey and self-discovery of Ram Dass. About Amy Buetens:Amy Buetens is an artist, illustrator, and art educator. She is a certified integrative thanatologist and death educator. Her work includes performing final rites of passage, and she serves as a leader in her Jewish burial society. She has been a dedicated student of Ram Dass for over 20 years, and is a co-leader for the Love Serve Remember Foundation's International Women's Satsang and leads her local Ram Dass Fellowship."At the same time as there is this negative news, let's also keep in mind this is an incredible time of blessings. We can hold multiple truths at once. This is a time of great joy, there are advances in science and technology, public and global health. There are so many things we could count our blessings for, and I think Ram Dass would encourage us all to spend time to think about balancing both with a neutral perspective, seeing it just the way it is.” – Amy BuetensAbout Julie Weinstein:Julie Weinstein's professional career is devoted to advancing environmental and social justice. She also serves as both a Jewish and Buddhist chaplain in the jails, within the justice movement and for people experiencing loss, grief and trauma. She is a death educator, burial society leader, and artist, and is pursuing ordination as a rabbi. She's been practicing Ram Dass's teachings for over two decades, and co-leads community initiatives for the Love Serve Remember Foundation.“Watching Ram Dass as this wise sage in complete bliss, saying over and over again, ‘I am loving awareness'. To know that it is possible to go from such self-loathing or self-hatred to complete bliss and believing that he is pure loving awareness, and also wanting that for us too. It gives a lot of us hope when we're struggling with our own identity, sexuality, shortcomings.” - Julie WeinsteinAbout The Host, Jackie Dobrinska:Jackie Dobrinska is the Director of Education, Community & Inclusion for Ram Dass' Love, Serve, Remember Foundation and the current host of Ram Dass' Here & Now podcast. She is also a teacher, coach, and spiritual director with the privilege of marrying two decades of mystical studies with 15 years of expertise in holistic wellness.

Today, in addition to building courses and community for LSRF, she leads workshops and coaches individuals to discover, nourish and live from their most authentic selves.“You and I are the force for the transformation in the world. We are the consciousness that will define the nature of the reality we are moving into. Shifting our consciousness has the power to change our inner and outer universe. That's why you work on yourself. That's what help you offer. You work on yourself through everything in your life.”– Ram DassSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Contemplative spirituality is one of the most widespread yet misunderstood movements influencing the church today. From centering prayer to mystical silence, these practices sound biblical but are rooted in mysticism, not Scripture. In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins explains what contemplative spirituality is, why Christians must avoid it, and how to stay anchored in God's Word.

In a rare surfacing in the contemporary world, JF and Phil discuss a film that has just been released. Bryn Chainey's Rabbit Trap is psychological horror in the tradition of Repulsion, Jacob's Ladder, and Angel Heart. But it is more: a metaphysical film exploring the mystery of sound and the Otherworld of Faerie—an excursion into that weird country, so deftly explored by Arthur Machen and Algernon Blackwood, where wonder and terror perform their eldritch duets.

Should Christians seek mystical experiences as a way to grow closer to God? Pastor John looks at how Paul responded to his own visions.

Note: This episode was originally uploaded to my Patreon Tier 3 in August 2025. It's now available as 'open access' for all followers!Speculative Frequencies: A Mixed Bag of Mysticism, Music & Mystery This ‘mixed bag' episode dives into four rich and provocative topics:*Occulture & Re-enchantment: A look at the Revenant Journal's editorial on “The Occult,” exploring how mystical practices challenge dominant paradigms and foster cultural resistance through feminist, queer, and neurodiverse lenses. *Lux Interna's Sonic Rituals: Reflections on a multimedia salon by the band Lux Interna, whose music and scholarship invoke desert mysticism, spiritual reckoning, and mythic storytelling. Includes themes of embodiment, wildness, and devotional resistance. *Feminist Witchcraft & Counter-Theology: A deep dive into Lolly Willowes and Satanic Feminism, examining how occult symbolism reclaims feminine autonomy and spiritual sovereignty. Plus, how rock music channels occult motifs for identity and transformation. *Forgotten Languages & Anomalous Cognition: A speculative exploration of the enigmatic website Forgotten Languages, its ties to CCRU theory-fiction, and psychological research on UAP witnesses. Themes include encrypted knowledge, post-human communication, and linguistic alienation. This episode has examined the intersections of sonic ritual, feminist resistance, and anomalous cognition through diverse cultural and theoretical lenses. From speculative philosophy to experiential narratives, these perspectives challenge dominant epistemologies and invite reconsideration of the boundaries between the real and the imagined. Future dialogues may benefit from interdisciplinary synthesis and critical engagement with the margins of knowledge. If you enjoyed this mixed bag, and would like to have more episodes like this, please let me know! I can certainly provide more content like this in the future. PROGRAM NOTESRevenantIntroduction : RevenantLux Internanews — Lux Internalux.interna | Instagram, Facebook | Linktree"From My Body Alone Do I Know This": Sacrament & Scripture as Technologies of the Self in the Work of Jacob BöhmeLolly Willowes | Project GutenbergSatanic Feminism: Lucifer as the Liberator of Woman in Nineteenth-Century Culture | Oxford AcademicSeason of the Witch: How the Occult Saved Rock and Roll: Bebergal, Peter: 9780399174964: Amazon.com: BooksForgotten Languages Full: Books 2022-2025The Deepest Internet Mystery You've Never Heard Of (and Why It's Now in the Congressional Record) - YouTubeCcru- cybernetic culture research unitCcru - CCRU WikiPsychological aspects in unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) witnesses | International Journal of Astrobiology | Cambridge Core  Interviews with Bob Cluness and David Metcalfe can be found in the Rejected Religion Patreon Library. www.patreon.com/RejectedReligion All Music by Daniel P.

Since 2008, East Forest's “lush” (Rolling Stone) and “blissful” (NPR) music has blended ambient, neoclassical, electronic, and avant-pop to explore sound as a tool for inner journeys and consciousness expansion. Known for being the first musician to collaborate with Ram Dass, his latest endeavor is the feature-length film Music for Mushrooms, a narrative documentary showcasing the transformative power of psychedelics, music, and community."I'm not up here generating something and presenting something for you to passively receive. It's more that your attention into this space, the Bhakti space, the love space, the emptiness, it feeds the emptiness itself for me to hopefully channel that back out. It's like surfing: we go in, we go out. In that, we can have a real experience together that can be whatever it needs to be right now.” –East ForestSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Krishna, also known as East Forest, is back to discuss his influential work in the realm of psychedelic music. East Forest gained recognition for his album 'Music for Mushrooms,' a five-hour album tailored for psilocybin experiences. The podcast revisits his creative process and the impact of his work on psychedelic practitioners in the United States and beyond. Krishna also shares insights on his recent documentary on 'Music for Mushrooms,' which is available for free viewing for two weeks upon the podcast's release. The conversation transitions into various personal updates, including East Forest's recent activities in Utah and his experience with homesteading and running a property. Both brothers reflect on the spiritual and grounding effects of physical labor and touch on their personal experiences with high-dose psilocybin journeys. The podcast also explores deeper philosophical and existential questions, relating to the nature of reality, spirituality, and the importance of tools like meditation and music in navigating life's challenges. Krishna shares his ideas on the transformational power of music designed specifically for psychedelic journeys and references the influence of notable figures like Ram Dass and Leonard Picard. The episode emphasizes the importance of live performances in an age where recorded music is becoming increasingly saturated, along with future tour plans and projects. Throughout, the conversation weaves between profound insights about existence and light-hearted banter, providing listeners with an engaging and thought-provoking experience.   Connect with East Forest here: Instagram Website Exclusive viewing link of Music For Mushrooms   From Kyle: The Community is coming!

In this episode of LightBody Radio, Dr. Lara May welcomes two unique voices who bring a fresh perspective to spirituality and self-discovery. Together, they explore the fascinating journey of moving from skepticism to curiosity, diving into mysticism, esoteric knowledge, energy healing, and even near-death experiences. With humor, honesty, and heart, the conversation highlights the power of balancing doubt with openness, intellect with intuition, and questioning with authentic connection. Listeners will gain insights into navigating their own path of exploration—whether they consider themselves seekers, skeptics, or somewhere in between. This episode is a reminder that it's okay to not have all the answers, that balance between the masculine and feminine perspectives is essential, and that true growth often comes from stepping into the unknown. © Light Body Radio-Podcast, 2025.

In this episode of the Outlaw God, Steven Paulson and Caleb Keith look at Martin Luther's interpretation of Psalm 18 and connects it back to Acts 17. They explore Luther's transition from mystical and allegorical readings to a focus on proclamation and the distinction between law and gospel. The discussion highlights how Luther's understanding of God's promises, as opposed to the law's accusations, marked a significant shift in his theological approach.

Pastor Mike focuses on the dangers of mysticism within evangelicalism, which he considers a significant problem. Mike defines mysticism as receiving God's truth from internal, subjective sources like feelings, intuition, and personal revelations rather than from the external source of the Bible. He argues that human nature is totally depraved since Adam's fall, making internal impressions and feelings unreliable and untrustworthy. Mike champions the sufficiency and authority of Scripture, citing passages like 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and Psalm 19 to support the idea that the Bible is the only true guide for life and godliness.  Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/VPHcLmoSPaA Produced/Edited By: Marrio Escobar (Owner of D2L Productions) 

In the beginning was Mind. Not matter. Not energy. Not even space or time. Pure, infinite, eternal Mind - what the ancient Hermetic masters called The All. Imagine, if you can, a consciousness so vast that entire galaxies are but fleeting thoughts... where the birth and death of stars happen in the space between heartbeats... where countless universes bloom and fade like flowers in an endless cosmic garden. This is The All. The Divine Mind. The eternal Thinker. And here's the secret that changes everything: You are not separate from this Mind. You ARE this Mind, experiencing itself through the lens of individuality. The All creates through thought, just as you create entire worlds in your imagination. But unlike human thought, which flickers and fades, the thoughts of The All are sustained by infinite concentration, infinite will, infinite love. Every mountain, every ocean, every beating heart - these are thoughts in the Mind of God, held in perfect focus across eons of time. And you? You are both the thinker and the thought. You participate in the very nature of the Divine Consciousness. You are an instrument through which The All experiences itself, knows itself, creates itself anew in every moment.When you think, The All thinks through you. When you imagine, The All imagines through you. When you create, you are Divine Mind in action.
