Dr. Jennifer Freed joins host Dr. John W. Price on The Sacred Speaks for a wide-ranging and intimate conversation at the crossroads of psychological astrology, Jungian depth psychology, and lived mysticism. Jennifer shares her personal journey—from early childhood visions and psychedelic experiences, through trauma, therapy, and decades of clinical and spiritual work—to her current understanding of astrology as a living, symbolic map rather than a fixed fate. Together, we explore how the birth chart functions as an invitation into “divine possibilities,” revealing our growth edges, shadow material, and evolving expressions across a lifetime. Our dialogue moves through themes of shadow integration, relational devotion, nervous system regulation, and cultural upheaval, including reflections on Pluto in Aquarius and what this moment asks of humanity. Jennifer offers a sobering yet hopeful vision—one that calls for discernment, humility, and deeper participation in the unfolding mystery of being human. Key Takeaways Astrology as Invitation, Not Determinism The birth chart reveals our cosmic DNA—a range of primitive, adaptive, and evolving expressions—inviting conscious participation rather than passive identification. Shadow Integration and the Nervous System Owning projections and shadow material brings regulation and clarity, helping us think more clearly amid ideological rigidity and identity fixation. Romance as Daily Devotion True intimacy is not sustained by chemistry alone, but by ongoing self-care and a quiet, consistent service to the subtle needs of the beloved. Cultural Crossroads Under Pluto in Aquarius, humanity faces a profound threshold—between fragmentation and unity—with discernment, responsibility, and imagination required.

Welcome to the Psychedelic Conversations Podcast!In this episode of Psychedelic Conversations, we speak with Rotem Petranker, PhD, executive research adviser at Rose Hill, to explore the realities of psilocybin microdosing research. We discuss his Phase 2 clinical trial investigating microdosing psilocybin for major depressive disorder, including study design, safety outcomes, and early findings that challenge some popular assumptions about dose and frequency. Beyond the data, we dive into deeper themes around expectancy, set and setting, and why connection itself may be one of the most powerful healing factors. We also reflect on the limitations of overly medicalized research, the importance of pre-registered science, and how collaboration between scientists, communities, and lived experience can move the field forward with integrity.About Rotem:Rotem graduated with a BsC in psychology from the University of Toronto and an MA in social psychology from York University. His master's thesis modeled the contribution of affective regulation to the relationship between mindfulness and sustained attention. Rotem earned his PhD from McMaster University, working with Dr. David Shore. His dissertation focused on a double-blind, placebo-controlled psilocybin study.Connect with Rotem:- Website: https://www.petranker.com/- LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/rotem-petranker-79838a87Thank you so much for joining us!

Looking through a Jungian lens, Psychologist Dr. John Price and Raghu Markus have a discussion on the mechanics of awakening.This week on Mindrolling, Raghu and John chat about:What we can learn from the book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance Jungian philosophy and creating balance within the psyche Attraction to the arts, music, and alternative ways of beingComparing youth and coming of age today versus in the pastThe growth and learning that happens through adversity Cultivating trust with those who are woundedMaking compassionate response our default state, especially when dealing with childrenLeaving one's culture to truly understand where we come fromVarious ways of cultivating non-ordinary statesHow society often stifles our experiences of mystical eventsThe current psychedelic revolution and therapeutic utility of entheogens Check out William Blake's The Book of Urizen for a deep dive into mystical literature“That's obviously one's religious and spiritual experience that is totally, uniquely yours. We know the definition of a mystical experience: it's ineffable, it's transitive, it's a unitive experience. I'm willing to say that most of us have had these kinds of experiences, and yet because our culture doesn't support that world view, we write them off as what you can call the ‘nothing but'.” –Dr. John PriceAbout Dr. John Price:Dr. John Price is a Jungian psychotherapist, co-founder of The Center for Healing Arts & Sciences, and host of The Sacred Speaks podcast. John's journey from touring musician to single fatherhood reshaped his understanding of human transformation. John's work bridges ancient wisdom with modern psychology—offering tools for shedding the adaptations that once saved us but now imprison us. Learn more about John's offerings on his website.“Jung would call this the inferior function given that I'm so feeling-oriented and intuitive. To actually get into the thinking and sensing function is something that I'm very much trying to counterbalance. That's my inferior function. From his philosophical orientation, it's a way to create wholeness where you counterbalance the one-sidedness of our psyche.” –Dr. John PriceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Why do we fight ourselves so hard when we're standing at the edge of real transformation?In this episode, we explore the spiritual physics of surrender — the natural laws that explain why resistance shows up, why it gets louder right before a breakthrough, and how surrender becomes the doorway to clarity, relief, and alignment.You'll learn what resistance actually is (on a nervous system, ego, and soul level), why your patterns intensify when change is near, and how plant medicine teaches the mechanics of letting go. If you're exhausted from gripping, forcing, overriding your intuition, or pretending “this is fine,” this conversation will help you understand what's really happening beneath the surface.Surrender isn't weakness. It's a path of grace, responsibility, and collaboration with the deeper intelligence guiding your life.WORK WITH SINCLAIRNEST Group Integration Membership - https://sinclairfleetwood.com/nest1:1 Private Coaching - https://sinclairfleetwood.com/psychedelic-integrationSubscribe to The Visionary Within weekly newsletter - https://mystical-heart-collective.kit.com/5623fed941FREE Ultimate Guide to Healing with Psychedelics: https://mystical-heart-collective.kit.com/ultimate-guideRetreats: https://sinclairfleetwood.com/events

“Delivering a baby one day and holding a patient's hand at the end of life literally the next day...that continuity is very powerful,” says Dr. Jen Brull, board chair of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). And as she points out, that continuity also builds trust with patients, an increasingly valuable commodity when faith in medicine and science is declining. As you might expect given her role, Dr. Brull believes strengthening family medicine is the key to improving health and healthcare. Exactly how to do that is at the heart of her conversation with host Lindsey Smith on this episode of Raise the Line, which covers ideas for payment reform, reducing administrative burdens, and stronger support for physician well-being. And with a projected shortage of nearly forty thousand primary care physicians, Dr. Brull also shares details on AAFP's “Be There First” initiative which is designed to attract service-minded medical students – whom she describes as family physicians at heart -- early in their educational journey. “I have great hope that increasing the number of these service-first medical students will fill part of this gap.”Tune-in for an informative look at a cornerstone of the healthcare system and what it means to communities of all sizes throughout the nation.  Mentioned in this episode:AAFP If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Psychedelic Experiences and Their MeaningsGrant and his co-author and assistant Desta Barnabe discussed their experiences with psychedelics, particularly psilocybin and DMT. Grant shared his high-dose psilocybin experiences, which he used as a form of education to learn lessons about compassion and gratitude. They explored the phenomenon of encountering beings during DMT experiences, with Desta noting the intriguing concept of "machine elves" and the similarity of reported alien abductions to actual abduction experiences. The conversation raised questions about the nature of these experiences, whether the beings are real or reflections of the user's mind, and the potential lessons or messages they convey.

What happens when the brain flatlines - yet consciousness continues?In this episode of Mind-Body Solution, Dr Tevin Naidu speaks with world-renowned cardiologist and pioneering near-death experience (NDE) researcher Dr Pim van Lommel. His groundbreaking Lancet study remains one of the most rigorously documented clinical investigations into NDEs - and its implications challenge our deepest assumptions about the mind, the brain, and the nature of reality.We explore:• The medical evidence for consciousness during cardiac arrest• Why the brain cannot account for NDEs• The transceiver/filter model of consciousness• Out-of-body perceptions verified during resuscitation• Why materialism may be scientifically untenable• The long-term personality transformation following NDEs• Implications for neuroscience, medicine, ethics, and the mind-body problem• What dying actually feels like• Why Pim now views death as “a transition, not an end”This is one of the most comprehensive, medically grounded explorations of non-local consciousness available today.

TrulySignificant.com honors John Lennon on the 45th anniversary of his assassination. Featured on this show is the talented Darin Murphy, featured in the Broadway musical Lennon. Hear the inside story on John Lennon based on Darin doing the show through a beautiful blog that Ariana Huffington published. Enjoy this and the rare insightful stories about John Lennon through the lens of Darin Murphy who channeled his best Lennon on Broadway with Yoko Ono in the audience. When I was born in the fall of1964, the Beatles had just completed a full-scale invasion of the world (they actually were greeted as liberators). In my home the sound of the Beatles was like mother's milk, and the voice of John Lennon was as recognizable as those of my own parents. It was the envy of the music industry and ironically, John himself despised it, but in no way could it ever be mistaken for anyone else's. And I couldn't get enough of it. “Psychedelic vision is reality to me and always was. When I looked in the mirror at twelve, thirteen…I'd trance out and watch my face changing, becoming cosmic and complete. My eyes would get bigger and the room would vanish.” On December 8, 1980, I was 16 and watching Monday Night Football as Howard Cosell announced John's murder to America. Many would say that a part of them died that night, but not me. On the contrary, a part of me was born. I had always been an admirer, but suddenly I identified with John more than ever, and I discovered I could deliver a spot-on impression of that distinct voice. When I acquired my first 4- track tape machine, I would dissect the Beatles' recordings and recreate them as closely as possible. Those recordings eventually led to a job performing in a Lennon production on Broadway, which was seen by Arianna Huffington, which led to you reading this at this moment. That's just one of many serendipities and synchronicities that occurred within the cast and crew of LENNON over this past year, and they fed profound energy to a project that was already unique to anything else any of us had ever done. For all of us in the company, and Yoko Ono, who visited often, LENNON was a spiritual trip that transcended both show and show business, and I got to know a few sides of John that I hadn't before. Though we were dealing with a forty-year-long story that ended a quarter century ago, many of us, onstage and in the seats, felt as though we were actually experiencing John in the here and now. Perhaps that is where the real story of John Lennon lies, not in the places and dates and times, but in the people who have experienced him. There are those close to John who were enchanted by his charm, warmed by his generosity, frustrated by his stubbornness and wounded by his cruelty. And there are those far from him who are captivated by his charisma, inspired or enraged by his politics,enamored by his expressions of love or, like me, galvanized by his craftsmanship and charged by his spirit. Today as much as ever, artists use the talents of John Lennon the way Native Americans used the bison. Besides his musicianship and sensibility, we gain inspiration from his work ethic, his intellect, his literary skills, his presence onscreen, his comic timing, his artistic boldness, his naked candor, and his philosophy on life, which changed shape as his search for his own authenticity widened. “…The hardest thing is facing yourself. It's much easier to shout “Revolution” and “Power to the People” than it is to take a look at yourself; find out what's real inside you and what isn't, when you're pulling the wool over your own eyes, that's the hardest one.' It was no accident that Lennon left such a lasting musical legacy. He and McCartney had set out to do it purposely, to create music for future audiences as well as their own. But John had an even loftier goal: advancing the evolution of human consciousness. He talked and sang about it constantly, about how everyone could make it happen just by getting their minds together, “projecting our images in space and in time…raising the spirit of peace and love.” But he also warned us that the responsibility for bringing about such change lies in each of us as individuals. “You have to do it yourself…I can't wake you up. You can wake you up. I can't cure you. You can cure you.” We've been challenged, more than ever now, to recognize the man- made forces that lie behind our suffering; the prisons we've built for ourselves by limiting our thinking and our perceptions of reality; the ego-influenced illusions by which we live and die. These issues are front-page headlines, right now, every day, and that is why the words and dreams of John Lennon matter every bit as much now as they did then. At the heart of the matter is Truth, and it's important to realize, as Lennon did, that Truth is not some inanimate object to be manipulated, but a natural force living in the fabric of the soul that must be respected. But first, it helps to remember the most simple and basic of all the man's messages, the one he repeated over and over and would no doubt utter again if he had one more moment among us: I Love You. And we love you, too, John. Thanks!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin reconnects with longtime Buddhist practitioner and former Synthesis co-founder Martijn Schirp, founder of Upāyosis. They explore his journey from pioneering modern psilocybin retreats to creating A Path Between Worlds, a year-long contemplative training that integrates Buddhist practice, ecological ethics, and psychedelic skillful means. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-333/?ref=278  Martijn shares lessons from Synthesis's rise and collapse, how time in the Himalayas reshaped his contemplative path, and why "ego porousness" may offer a healthier frame than "ego death." He and Paul discuss how Buddhist principles like interdependence and skillful means can guide responsible psychedelic work — and why awakening today must include service to a planet in crisis.

Our linear, materialist understanding of death is fundamentally flawed because it allows the terrified ego to define what death is — instead of looking to Nature and Spirit for the truth. We intuitively know the life cycle is a circle, yet we run from death because it appears to be THE END.But the medicine of a conscious life shows us a deeper truth:Life is circles and spirals and expansions. Death is life is death is life.Nothing ever dies. Everything transforms. Energy is eternal.We are here to escape the cages of our own belief systems and fears. And it's LOVE that is patiently nudging us off the cliffs of our limitations. The constructs of our understanding, the frameworks we've existed in, the structures and agreements we inherited — they're being rejected. New worlds are being created inside our consciousness. This is our work individually and for the collective.The spiritual path is here to teach us how to die well.To remember that death is a ritual. A ceremony. A holy initiation.So if you can feel something in you loosening, cracking, shedding… if you're standing on the edge with an abyss waiting to swallow you — this episode is your parachute, roadmap, and featherbed once you jump. Listen to this invitation to stop resisting, to honor your endings, and to step into the initiation that's already unfolding.WORK WITH SINCLAIRNEST Group Integration Membership - https://sinclairfleetwood.com/nest1:1 Private Coaching - https://sinclairfleetwood.com/psychedelic-integrationSubscribe to The Visionary Within weekly newsletter - https://mystical-heart-collective.kit.com/5623fed941FREE Ultimate Guide to Healing with Psychedelics: https://mystical-heart-collective.kit.com/ultimate-guideRetreats: https://sinclairfleetwood.com/events

In this conversation, Stewart Alsop sits down with Ken Lowry to explore a wide sweep of themes running through Christianity, Protestant vs. Catholic vs. Orthodox traditions, the nature of spirits and telos, theosis and enlightenment, information technology, identity, privacy, sexuality, the New Age “Rainbow Bridge,” paganism, Buddhism, Vedanta, and the unfolding meaning crisis; listeners who want to follow more of Ken's work can find him on his YouTube channel Climbing Mount Sophia and on Twitter under KenLowry8.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Christianity's tangled history surfaces as Stewart Alsop and Ken Lowry unpack Luther, indulgences, mediation, and the printing-press information shift.05:00 Luther's encounters with the devil lead into talk of perception, hallucination, and spiritual influence on “main-character” lives.10:00 Protestant vs. Catholic vs. Orthodox worship styles highlight telos, Eucharist, liturgy, embodiment, and teaching as information.15:00 The Church as a living spirit emerges, tied to hierarchy, purpose, and Michael Levin's bioelectric patterns shaping form.20:00 Spirits, goals, Dodgers-as-spirit, and Christ as the highest ordering spirit frame meaning and participation.25:00 Identity, self, soul, privacy, intimacy, and the internet's collapse of boundaries reshape inner life.30:00 New Age, Rainbow Bridge, Hawkins' calibration, truth-testing, and spiritual discernment enter the story.35:00 Stewart's path back to Christianity opens discussion of enlightenment, Protestant legalism, Orthodox theosis, and healing.40:00 Emptiness, relationality, Trinity, and personhood bridge Buddhism and mystical Christianity.45:00 Suffering, desire, higher spirits, and orientation toward the real sharpen the contrast between simulation and reality.50:00 Technology, bodies, AI, and simulated worlds raise questions of telos, meaning, and modern escape.55:00 Neo-paganism, Hindu hierarchy of gods, Vedanta, and the need for a personal God lead toward Jesus as historical revelation.01:00:00 Buddha, enlightenment, theosis, the post-1945 world, Hitler as negative pole, and goodness as purpose close the inquiry.Key InsightsMediation and information shape the Church. Ken Lowry highlights how the printing press didn't just spread ideas—it restructured Christian life by shifting mediation. Once information became accessible, individuals became the “interface” with Christ, fundamentally changing Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox trajectories and the modern crisis of religious choice.The Protestant–Catholic–Orthodox split hinges on telos. Protestantism orients the service around teaching and information, while Catholic and Orthodox traditions culminate in the Eucharist, embodiment, and liturgy. This difference expresses two visions of what humans are doing in church: receiving ideas or participating in a transformative ritual that shapes the whole person.Spirits, telos, and hierarchy offer a map of reality. Ken frames spirits as real intelligible goals that pull people into coordinated action—seen as clearly in a baseball team as in a nation. Christ is the highest spirit because aiming toward Him properly orders all lower goals, giving a coherent vertical structure to meaning.Identity, privacy, and intimacy have transformed under the internet. The shift from soul → self → identity tracks changes in information technology. The internet collapses boundaries, creating unprecedented exposure while weakening the inherent privacy of intimate realities such as genuine lovemaking, which Ken argues can't be made public without destroying its nature.New Age influences and Hawkins' calibration reflect a search for truth. Stewart's encounters with the Rainbow Bridge world, David Hawkins' muscle-testing epistemology, and the escape from scientistic secularism reveal a cultural hunger for spiritual discernment in the absence of shared metaphysical grounding.Enlightenment and theosis may be the same mountain. Ken suggests that Buddhist enlightenment and Orthodox theosis aim at the same transformative reality: full communion with what is most real. The difference lies in Jesus as the concrete, personal revelation of God, offering a relational path rather than pure negation or emptiness.Secularism is shaped by powerfully negative telos. Ken argues that the modern world orients itself not toward the Good revealed in Christ but away from the Evil revealed in Hitler. Moving away from evil as a primary aim produces confusion, because only a positive vision of the Good can order desires, technology, suffering, and the overwhelming power of modern simulations.

In this episode, Matthew W. Johnson, PhD returns to discuss how psychedelics can be leveraged to catalyze human agency. Dr. Johnson has been at the forefront of psychedelic research for 21 years, having conducted seminal research on the effects of psilocybin on mystical experience, personality, and treatment of cancer distress, major depressive disorder, and tobacco addiction. His work with tobacco addiction received the first federal funding for a classic psychedelic in the modern era of research. In this conversation, Dr. Johnson explores psychedelics as powerful enhancers of human agency—the felt capacity to steer one's own life, make meaningful choices, and act from a place of inner autonomy. Drawing from two decades of research across depression, cancer distress, addiction, and healthy volunteer studies, he argues that increases in agency may be a core, yet under-recognized, mechanism behind therapeutic change. Dr. Johnson discusses agency as a "meta-executive" function intertwined with free will, mental flexibility, and meaning-making, and suggests that psychedelics may uniquely illuminate and strengthen this capacity. In closing, he shares thoughts on how individuals can better take advantage of psychedelic-induced neuroplasticity to increase agency in their own lives.   In this episode, you'll hear: What Dr. Johnson means by "agency" and why he sees it as central to psychedelic healing Clinical examples of participants who rediscovered autonomy, changed behaviors, or reframed their suffering after psilocybin sessions Why psychedelics may enhance big-picture psychological flexibility, not just moment-to-moment cognitive flexibility How increased agency may help people with depression, addiction, and cancer distress shift entrenched patterns of thinking and behavior Potential future research directions for studying the neuroscience of agency   Quotes: "It's not just that enhancing agency is the elephant in the room of why psychedelics are working, it's also that I think psychedelics can be a tool for finally understanding this thing of human agency." [4:31] "Even if you think the sense of free will is an illusion, it has to be an evolutionarily advantageous illusion. Why else would it be seemingly universal?" [12:30] "When someone really has one of these 'ah-ha' experiences, they can really come to this perspective of 'no, no, no, no, no, I really am choosing how I'm thinking about myself.' In cancer [patients] it happened a lot."

Psychedelics can shoot you to the summit, but they can't make you a mountain climber. You may get a glimpse of the view, but the glimpse doesn't change you — you didn't build the muscles, you didn't shed the weight, and you didn't face the inner terrain that actually transforms a person. In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore the difference between quick-hit "insight" culture and the steady, muscle-building path of Bhakti, drawing powerful lessons from Lord Brahmā's humility in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. It's an honest, humorous dive into why real growth means doing the inner work — not looking for shortcuts. From psychedelic detours to Facebook flame wars, from ego trips to genuine surrender, this episode blends ancient wisdom with modern mischief in the signature WOTS style. Key Highlights * Raghunath's mushroom story is back. * Brahmā: four heads, cosmic mastery, still doing the uncomfortable inner work… one apology at a time. * Why psychedelics may give you the view — but Bhakti builds the muscles to actually live there.

This episode shows you how light, vibration, and frequency-based technology can shift your brain state in minutes, unlock deep neuroplasticity, release stored trauma, and create coherence that normally takes years of meditation or psychedelic training. You will learn how these tools support performance, resilience, mitochondria, emotional regulation, and advanced biohacking. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with master healer Raffaele Gianfrancesco, whose work draws on energy medicine, Egyptian color healing, vibroacoustics, and light based entrainment. Raffaele trained in the Barbara Brennan lineage and spent years developing methods that shut down the default mode network, activate the thalamocortical circuit, and move people into deep meditative and altered states within minutes. His technology has attracted the attention of consciousness researchers, advanced meditation schools, ketamine clinics, and U. S. Air Force programs studying human resilience and pilot performance. Dave and Raffaele break down how vibroacoustic sound, harmonics, cymatics, and flickering light therapy guide the brain into gamma, delta, epsilon, and high resonance states that support clarity, emotional release, and rapid state change. Raffaele explains how vibration affects fascia and trauma storage, how light influences the cerebrospinal fluid and pineal gland, and why coherence is the key to shifting consciousness. They discuss ketamine assisted therapy, remote viewing, the Monroe Institute, the relationship between frequencies and brain states, the history of flickering light therapy, and how certain frequencies help loosen trauma patterns stored in the body. You'll Learn: • How vibroacoustic sound and coherent light shut down the default mode network • Why fascia, trauma memory, and cerebrospinal fluid respond to vibration • How flicker based entrainment maps to gamma, delta, and theta brain states • Why the Air Force studies these tools for resilience and reaction speed • How ketamine combines with vibration and light to improve neuroplasticity • Why coherence, awe, and safety cues are essential for deep emotional release • What cymatics, harmonics, and frequency patterns reveal about consciousness Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.
