Podcasts about razam

Wir sprechen mit Dr. Bärbel Heide Uhl, Politikwissenschaftlerin und Mitgründerin der Koalition gegen Transnationale Repression, sowie Vertreterinnen und Vertretern der belarusischen Exilgemeinschaft RAZAM. Gemeinsam werfen wir einen Blick auf ein Thema, das zunehmend an Brisanz gewinnt: die gezielte Einschüchterung, Verfolgung und Bedrohung von Oppositionellen durch autoritäre Regime – mitten in Deutschland. Was verbirgt sich hinter dem Begriff transnationale Repression? Wie operieren ausländische Geheimdienste auf deutschem Boden? Und was können Politik, Zivilgesellschaft und Behörden dagegen tun? Ein Podcast über Menschenrechte, nationale Sicherheit und die Verteidigung demokratischer Werte – nah an der Realität, faktenreich und engagiert.

Хоць новы канцлер яшчэ ў Германні афіцыйна не абраны (хоць усе і не сумняюцца ў тым, што ім стане Мерц), але ўжо можна казаць пра стварэнне кіроўнай кааліцыі. А гэта ў сённяшніх умовах ужо шмат. Адпаведна, узнікаюць магчымасці для аналізу таго, якой можа быць як знешняя, так і ўнутраная палітыка новага ўраду і чаго чакаць у такім важным для беларусаў пытанні, як міграцыйная палітыка і пытанні легалізацыі. Ці можна казаць, што кааліцыя практычна створаная і што з сябе ўяўляюць сілы, якія ў яе ўваходзяць? Якой можа быць палітыка новага ўраду Германіі і чаго чакаць у гэтым сэнсе беларусам, якія хочуць знайсці прытулак у гэтай краіне? Ці варта разлічваць на спрашчэнне працэдуры легалізацыі і ці будзе новы ўрад падтрымліваць беларускія ініцыятывы ў Германіі? На гэтыя ды іншыя пытанні ў эфіры Еўрарадыё адказвае сяброўка Пашыранай рады беларускага аб'яднання ў Германіі Razam, каардынатарка фестывалю Minsk x Minga, супрацоўніца Універсітэта Пасаў (The University of Passau) Хрысціна Дарапей.

Не толькі ў ЗША змянілася кіраўніцтва і змянілася замежная палітыка. Прычым так радыкальна, што гэта стала непрыемным шокам для вялікай колькасці праграм і ініцыятыў, якія ЗША шмат гадоў падтрымлівалі. Выбары прайшлі і ў Германіі. І не выключана, што там таксама пачнуць змяняць падыходы як да міграцыйнай палітыкі, так і да палітыкі падтрымкі розных праектаў. Ці варта чакаць беларускай дыяспары ў Германіі зменаў, якія могуць яе закрануць? Як можа змяніцца стаўленне да ўцекачоў, у тым ліку з Беларусі, і іх легалізацыі на фоне росту антыіміграцыйных настрояў? Чым найперш сёння займаецца згуртаванне беларусаў Германіі Razam і ці застаецца актыўнай дыяспара? На гэтыя ды іншыя пытанні ў эфіры Еўрарадыё адказвае актывістка беларускага аб'яднання ў Германіі Razam, каардынатарка фестывалю Minsk x Minga, супрацоўніца Універсітэта Пасау (The University of Passau) Хрысціна Дарапей

27 лютага ў эфіры Еўрарадыё — актывістка беларускага аб'яднання ў Германіі Razam, арт-менеджарка, сузаснавальніца і каардынатарка фестывалю Minsk x Minga (Мюнхен, Германія), супрацоўніца Універсітэта Пасау (The University of Passau) Хрысціна Дарапей. Беларускі нацыяналізм, беларускія нацыяналісты адрозныя тым, што яны не сцвярджаюць, што беларуская нацыя нібыта лепшая ў нечым за іншыя. Беларускі нацыяналізм — гэта змаганне за сваё, гэта адстойванне магчымасцяў жыць так, як ты хочаш. І ў тым кантэксце, у якім ты хочаш. Фактычна, беларускае адстойванне сваёй нацыянальнай ідэнтычнасці — гэта абарона сябе ад праваімперскіх амбіцый суседзяў, перакананая Хрысціна Дарапей. Пра тое, чым адрозны беларускі нацыяналізм, чаму для беларусаў так важна, каб іх пакінулі ў спакоі, і пра тое, ці цікавая беларусам іх беларускасць, мы і разважаем у праграме “Ідэя Х” з Хрысцінай Дарапей.

E.T. et les Navajos Ça aurait dû se passer comme ça : Anita Thompson aurait invité Jack et Morgan à fumer de l'herbe chez elle, Morgan aurait dessiné tout ce qu'il voyait et ils auraient fait l'interview du siècle. Mais c'est pas du tout comme ça que ça s'est passé… Remerciements : Silvain Gire, Mathieu Sapin, les éditions Dargaud, Razamé de la Crackers, John Wise, Jesse North, Ben Fong-Torres, Guadalupe Layz, Tray, Ali, le gang des GX1000 et Paul Gresham. GONZO PARANOEn mars 2023, le dessinateur de bande dessinée Morgan Navarro embarque le reporter Jack Souvant dans un road trip aux Etats-Unis, sur les traces du sulfureux journaliste de la contre-culture américaine Hunter S Thompson. Mort en 2005, Thompson avait en son temps inventé le concept de « journalisme Gonzo », un journalisme engagé, raconté à la première personne. Il est aussi célèbre pour son roman Las Vegas Parano et son goût prononcé pour les excès en tous genres. Morgan est un fou de la culture américaine, du skate, du LSD et se prend pour Raoul Duke dans Las Vegas Parano, interprété par Johnny Depp.Jack, curieux mais pas amoureux de l'Amérique, tente de comprendre la fascination de Morgan pour ce pays. Dégainant son micro en toute occasion, il enregistre son compagnon dessinateur de jour comme de nuit, tout en dressant un portrait de l'Amérique post Trump, façon Gonzo : « la subjectivité est totale, le sujet n'est qu'un prétexte… ». Des heures de voiture, entre montagnes et déserts : Aspen, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco… Jack et Morgan croisent la route de cow-boys enthousiastes, de Navajos engagés, d'un house-keeper désabusé, d'un vendeur complotiste de viande séchée à l'Alien, d'une militante de la NRA et d'anciens camarades de Thompson abîmés par les années… Que reste-t-il du rêve, ou plutôt du cauchemar américain ? C'est ce qu'ils vont tenter de comprendre.

Vegas, la ville de tous les possibles Ça aurait dû se passer comme ça : Las Vegas, tout allait être possible.

28 верасня ў эфіры Еўрарадыё — сяброўка Пашыранай рады Згуртавання беларусаў Германіі “Razam”, сузаснавальніца Фестывалая беларускай культуры “Minsk&Minga”, спецыялістка ў галіне інтэлектуальнай уласнасці Іна Валіцкая. Як гэта ні дзіўна, але менавіта ў патрыярхаце, які пануе ў беларускім соцыюме, і палягае большасць праблем, якія мы сёння маем. Колішнія каланізатары і сённяшнія дыктатары, якія імкнуцца зрабіць з нас рабоў і забіраюць нашу свабоду, — першасная прычына няшчасцяў беларускай нацыі. Дый стэрэатыпы кшталту “прэзідэнцтва не для жанчыны” не набліжаюць нас да Новай Беларусі, перакананая Іна Валіцкая. Пра тое, як пазбавіцца патрыярхальнага мыслення і чаму без гэтага не пабудаваць Новай Беларусі, чаму культура сёння мае першаснае значэнне, і пра нацыянальныя каштоўнасці мы і разважаем у праграме “Ідэя Х” з Інай Валіцкай

Мюнхенскі Фестываль беларускай культуры “Minsk x Minga” пераймае эстафету ў оўпэн-эйра “Тутака” і працягвае беларускую культурніцкую экспансію — з 8 па 10 верасня ўсіх наведвальнікаў фэсту чакае багатая праграма. І тут не толькі сустрэча з музыкай ды літаратурай. Усё значна шырэй і больш разнастайна. Чым адметны сёлетні фэст у Мюнхене і што з запланаванага стала сюрпрызам для саміх арганізатараў? Ці лёгка было скласці праграму і ці ўлічваліся густы мясцовых жыхароў? Ці ёсць цікавасць да беларускага фэсту з боку ўладаў Мюнхена і чаму беларусы абавязкова мусяць наведаць імпрэзу? На гэтыя ды іншыя пытанні ў эфіры Еўрарадыё адказваюць суарганізатарка фестывалю Minsk x Minga Іна Валіцкая і сябра аргкамітэта фэсту, актывіст арганізацыі RAZAM e.V., сябра Рады БНР Алесь Чайчыц

„Pokud jde o dramaturgii, šlo o naši osobní úctu k našim kořenům, touhu seznámit lidi s tím, jak to o Vánocích chodí v Bělorusku, Rusku, na Ukrajině, v Česku. Nikterak to nesouvisí s tím, co se děje na politické scéně,“ říká zpěvačka Iva Marešová z uskupení Razam (v běloruštině Spolu) o albu Slovanské Vánoce. „Pro nás vždy bylo důležité posluchačům ukázat, že se máme mít rádi a máme se se všemi kulturami i respektovat,“ dodává akordeonista Bělorus Aliaksandr Yasinski.Všechny díly podcastu Hovory můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

Es sollte eine kleine Sensation sein... und wurde dann doch nur ein "vielleicht". Noa Kirel, Israels derzeit wohl aufregenster Pop Star, wurde kürzlich als erste Künstlerin fix für 2023 präsentiert - aber kurz danach wieder als nur eine mögliche Kandidatin bezeichnet. Sie hat großartigen Dance Pop im Programm und wäre mit Sicherheit eine Bereicherung. Wer sie noch nicht kennt: Ihre Videos auf Youtube lohnen sich. Dafür soll Artistic Director und Komponist Doron Medalie wieder das Team verstärken. Er war für viele israelische Acts verantwortlich und hat unter anderem "Toy" und "Golden Boy" (mit)geschrieben.Die EBU hat mittlerweile veröffentlicht, dass nach dem "American Song Contest" und dem geplanten "Eurovision Song Contest Canada" auch ein "Eurovsion Song Contest Latin America" stattfinden soll.NaviBand aus Belarus brachten 2017 den ersten belarusischsprachigen Song zum Eurovision Song Contest. "Historyja majho žyccia" (Story of my life) landete auf Platz 17 in Kyiw. Nach Betrügereien rund um die Präsidentenwahl setzten sich NaviBand an die Spitze der Proteste, veröffentlichten politische Songs und leben mittlerweile im Exil. Sie gaben ein Konzert in Wien und Iryna Piarvoikina, die Gast in unserer Episode 02.17 über Belarus war, brachte uns zusammen. Marco führte das Gespräch mit Arzjom Lukjanenka und Ksenija Schuk von NaviBand ein paar Wochen nach dem Konzert.Ihre Konzerte geben sie in Europa, um auch ihre im Exil lebenden Landsleute zusammen zu bringen. In viele Länder haben   Künstler und Intellektuelle nach den brutal niedergeschlagenen Protesten gegen die Wahl-Farce des Diktatoren Aleksandr Lukashenko fliehen müssen. Sie fühlen sich überall daheim - und nirgends.Sie bitten darum, dass über den Ukraine-Krieg nicht auf die Flüchtlinge aus Belarus vergessen wird. In Deutschland gibt es zum Beispiel Razam e.V., die Flüchtlinge unterstützt.An ihren Auftritt bei Eurovision haben sie gute Erinnerungen, nicht nur der Auftritt in Kyiw, sondern vor allem die Pre-Parties und Konzerte im Vorfeld, die die Gruppe in viele Länder Europas gebracht haben.Mittlerweiele haben sie einige neue Songs veröffentlicht. Anspieltipps: Milliony bolshih serdec, Mary und ihr Roof-Concert in Warschau. NaviBand freuen sich auch über Unterstützungen. Die Fragen am Schluss sind natürlich unerlässlich:Noch immer auf der Playlist vom Song Contest 2022 ist der Beitrag aus Portugal: Maro mit "Saudade Saudade". Aber auch der schwedische Beitrag gefällt: Cornelia Jacobs mit "Hold Me Closer". Und natürlich der Siegersong aus der Ukraine: Kalush Orchestra mit "Stefania".Der Lieblingssong aller Zeiten vom Song Contest? Die Common Lynnets mit "Calm After the Storm" aus dem Jahr 2015 sagt Arzjom. Mor ve Ötesi mit "Deli" aus dem Jahr 2008 sagt Ksenija..In der Kleinen Songcontest Geschichte am Schluss erzählt Alkis von der abenteuerlichen Entstehungsgeschichte von ein paar Schmetterlingen aus Belarus.

„Ukrainoje per savo išgyvenimus, žvelgdamas pro karo marazmo prizmę ir bendraudamas su ten kovojančiais žmonėmis, pradėjau suprasti, ką reiškia „hibridinis karas". Tai – visiškas džiazas. Ši knyga yra mano signalas, kad mes Lietuvoje, norime ar nenorime, privalome tai suprasti. Ir išmokti džiazuoti“, – sako Jonas Ohmanas, knygos „Donbaso džiazas“ autorius.Kitą savaitę VŠĮ „Bendrystės ir socialinių inovacijų centras“ , bendradarbiaudamas su pagalbos baltarusiams fondu „Razam“, pradės į Lietuvą atvykusius baltarusius mokyti lietuvių kalbos. Norinčiųjų mokytis skaičius didelis, tai į pagalbą kviečiami savanoriai. Pokalbis su VŠĮ „Bendrystės ir socialinių inovacijų centro“ direktore Lina Blažyte ir pagalbos baltarusiams fondo Lietuvoje „Razam“ direktore Violeta Belitskaja.Kaip užauginti zero waste kartą, kuri kuri kaip įmanoma mažiau terštų gamtą?

A deeply personal post-ayahuasca sharing session in Peru, April 2015, with Rak Razam and Meriana Dinkova. After recent inoculations with the 5-MeO-DMT sacred medicine of the Bufo Alvarius toad, which induced a full spectrum remembrance of unity consciousness (i.e., GOD), Razam has noticed that the 5MEO circuit is consistently re-activated on other entheogens and indeed, is the ON Switch inside us all. This conversation was held directly after a second ayahuasca retreat session which triggered hours long immersion into the 5MEO light field, and a corresponding decompression of language and integration. It’s all words, dear listener. What is offered here is the act of languagizing itself, a sacred pillow-talk conversation about God as a unified field and the relationship of co-discovery between the Creator and the Created. So you recognize divinity: Now what? Before enlightenment: chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment: chop wood, carry water. What is the value of enlightenment? Photo: Ben Hewett. JOIN US!

Flora and Razam share the same idea: that Source consciousness is alive and incarnating through the individuals awakening to it, in an active way... In a deeply synchronous meeting, Flora's novel is mirroring Razam's work and projects with 5-MeO: life mirrors art and art mirrors life... Listen as they discuss the ultimate surrender and opening to the Source, the Logos and living language, neural entanglement and how that reflects in the shamanic community working with sacraments, using EEG and neurofeedback to teach endogenous usage of 5MEO, how to communicate translinguistic realms, the parallels with mystics through history experiencing non-duals states, and exploring the idea: is God lonely, or is it feeding, breeding and making more of itself? All this and more in an unparalleled meeting of one mind in two bodies. Is this the way of the future? The interviewee, Flora, will be publishing her novel under the pseudonym Elettra Cavendish.

Join Peter Gorman, award-winning investigative journalist and author of Ayahuasca in My Blood and Sapo in My Soul, as he talks with Rak Razam about indigenous 'ordeal medicines' and the rise of shamanism in the West. Gorman first drank ayahuasca in 1984 and is one of the first modern wave of intrepid explorer-adventurers to document this medicine. He also introduced sapo, the secretion of the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog used by the Matses, to popular attention. What is the role of these substances in the wild, and how are they being used as the West absorbs the shamanic medicines? How can the sustainability of the vine and the frog be ensured, and how can commerciality be balanced with spirituality? A robust, provocative discussion on the state of the Western shamanic community and its impact on indigenous cultures, with Gorman and Razam.

Join experiential journalist Rak Razam and author, visionary artist, musician, podcaster and entheogenic explorer Martin Ball, Ph.D., as they engage in a far-reaching discussion about entheogens, DMT, “radical nonduality” and the Mind of GOD. Ball is one of the pre-eminent experts on 5-MeO-DMT, having written about it in his book Being Human, and other books like Being Infinite. Sacred icons like Terence McKenna, the shamanic paradigm, entities and the projections of the ego are dissected… Should we evolve the ego, not eliminate it, in altered states? What is Mirrored Bilateral Symmetry and how does tryptamine activation express itself in this symmetry in our body? Is this the origin of yogic mudras and asanas? Do fractals point to a language of the Divine? Is God lonely? Listen to this rare meeting of minds as Razam and Ball compare experiential field notes on their 5-MeO-DMT journeys and discuss Ball's theory of The "Entheological Paradigm," a Grand Unified Theory of all of reality from God to the direct experience of each human being. For more info: www.martinball.net/.

Deep in the jungles of the Amazon, natives have been concocting a heady mixture of indigenous plants that combine to create a mind-expanding experience.  Similar in some ways to LSD or peyote, ayahuasca delivers an experience unlike any other.  Its roots go deep into the history of the region and few actually understand its beginnings.  Used by the government of Brazil to help prisoners and others, this mixture may hold the key to true human awakening.  Does it work?  Is it for everyone?  What can we expect?  Listen as Chris Flisher interviews Rak Razam about this incredible and provocative experience. .

Indigenous Australian culture is at least 60,000-100,000 years old. Hidden in the unbroken tradition are the shared roots of the Vedas, in which the Acacia (Khadira) was the Vajra, the weapon of Indra. The emergence of these plant teachers, and the passing on of indigenous knowledge could be seen to constitute a new reverse colonization of the modern world–the Dreamtime Invasion. "At the heart of indigenous philosophy is the Dreamtime. It is not the past, or the future, it is the eternal creation out of pattern in the Now.  The 'dot' patterns, the spirit worlds of the tryptamine space are always present, creating the external world. The ability to understand and modify 'reality' was at the core of the training of... indigenous elders with intact knowledge about these sacraments."  -  [Nen] Join DMT-Nexus forum moderator NEN and experiential journalist Rak Razam in this revelatory interview exploring the entheogenic realms of DMT and ayahuasca & their connection to the Dreamtime Consciousness and the Global Shamanic Resurgence.  A prelude to the UK lectures of the Dreamtime Invasion UK in London http://www.facebook.com/events/1387591788122404 and TICKETS: http://thedreamtimeinvasion-eorg.eventbrite.co.uk and Brighton: https://www.facebook.com/events/206770216143377 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported License.

Eleven years ago Dimitri Mugianis was a heroin addict who tried Iboga, the sacred medicine of the Gabon tribe and Bwiti religion in Africa. Not only did it help cure his addiction (alongside his own efforts), but it set him on a path as a Western medicine man following the call of spirit. Nicknamed the "Harlem Shaman," Mugianis began administering iboga to addicts throughout New York City, as recounted in the 2009 documentary film 'I'm Dangerous With Love'. Arrested by federal authorities in 2011, Mugianis saw the hand of a greater force in his arrest, deepening his work as a N'ganga (Bwiti) healer and commitment to the path. Eventually sentenced to only 45 days of house arrest by a judge sympathethic to his religious path and spiritual work, he speaks here with experiential journalist Rak Razam about addiction, iboga, the rise in medicine workers worldwide, the law–and the need for love, above all.

Tea tidings with the Teafaerie at MAPS Psychedelic Science 2013 conference. Who IS the Teafaerie, and how does she manifest the psychedelic dream? The Teafaerie has been an avid entheogenic explorer her entire adult life and she has served as ground control for well over 100 trips. A real-life superheroine, we discuss the burgeoning meme of superhumanity, the Ultraculture, and the roots of this post-human possibility in the conscious festival scene and psychedelic culture worldwide. Teafaerie writes for Erowid on all aspects of psychedelics and virtuality, and her Western take on the shamanic realms from a data-information space is a valuable signpost in the cultural cosmovisions. Discover the secrets of 420, and the Teafaerie's secret origin in the Rainbow Tribe, Philip K Dick is channeled, and the seed dream of the Jedi Temple, a training academy in the shamanic arts is explored in this gonzo interview with experiential journalist Rak Razam.

Artwork by Sylph Aeon. In which experiential journalist Rak Razam is interviewed by Dr Sebastian Job, Honorary Associate, Department of Anthropology at the University of Sydney about the interdimensional entities that we encounter on entheogens like ayahuasca and DMT. Are these projections of our own subconscious, or of some Collective Unconscious, or are they natives to a deeper realm that we intersect via entheogens? What is an entity and how does our language encapsulate our understanding of entity contact? How much have Terence McKenna's metaphors calcified a fluid translinguistic experience into a cultural shorthand? How can we quantify entity experiences and move beyond logic and left-brain rationalism to feel into the intuitive and extra-sensory levels where these translinguistic encounters happen? Are we facing a divine invasion, or are we the colonizers of hyperspace? All know that the drop merges into the ocean, but few know that the ocean merges into the drop. - Kabir Proudly supporting the Psychedelic Science 2013 conference.

In which experiential journalist Rak Razam dialogues with Professor Diana Slattery of the McKenna Chair of Xenolinguistics at the Institute for the Encouragement of Outrageous Ideas. Slattery is one of the world's foremost experts on the art of alien languages or xenolinguistics, and in this fascinating interview Razam and Slattery speak the unspeakable about the linguistic phenomena of the psychedelic experience. What if on some level we are made of sound? What if in the beginning was the Word? Is language itself a cosmic app downloaded and upgraded by higher consciousness? How can we translate and anchor multidimensional experiences into our baseline understanding, and can doing so transform our DNA and reality? Slattery's thesis, expounded in her forthcoming book: Xenolinguistics: Psychedelics & Language at the Edge of the Unspeakable, involves interior dialogues with the Other, whether framed as the voice of the Logos, an alien download, or communion with ancestors and spirits.  Sentient visual languages are encountered, their forms unrelated to the representation of speech in natural language writing systems. Slattery constructs a theoretical model of linguistic phenomena encountered in the psychedelic sphere for the field of altered states of consciousness research (ASCR). She has also received and anchored the Glide Oracle, a higher dimensional, gestural glyph language now available as an app on the iPhone. Turn on, tune in, and go translinguistic in this seminal interview. For more information see Slattery's website: Psychedelics and Language. Proudly supporting the Psychedelic Science 2013 conference.

Photo credit: Tim Girvin, art: Gerhard Hillman Experiential journalist Rak Razam chats with the world's premier mycologist,Paul Stamets, at the Uplift festival, Dec 22, 2012, about the whole systems theory of nature that the mycelium networks of the mushrooms point towards. Stamets describes his pioneering work with fungi and how that has affected his own worldview, from his own shamanic-style initiation as a teenager, to his work with bio-remediation and introducing fungi as bio-tools for corporate and government scientific use, and the cultural clashes that has engendered. Can Western culture drop it's mycophobic reaction towards mushrooms and embrace the healing benefits of these substances? Can we integrate the psychedelic benefits as well as the physical ones? Is the mushroom "earth's natural internet" as Stamens describes, and what does that mean to our scientific worldview, and a network-based future?

Experiential journalist Rak Razam hosts a panel at Eclipse festival 2012 on November 16, 2012 with sacred feminine facilitator Beata Alfoldi, Undergrowth director and visionary-filmmaker Tim Parish, Jungian therapist Jeremiah Abrams, shamanic practitioner Darpan and rites of passage commentator Sobey Wing. So Dec 21st, 2012 came and went, and life goes on. What are our tribal strategies to use this time of transition as a planetary initiation? What contingency plans do we need to entertain, how will we cope if the mainstream world continues its path towards austerity, surveillance, dictatorship and environmental ruin? Can we as individuals, as well as a community, retain our integrity of vision for a world worth living in? Can we take strategic advantage of the turbulent times to chart a new course for a sustainable future in 2013–and beyond? What's our Plan B), 2013???

photo: La Chorrera, 1971, courtesy Dennis McKenna Join experiential journalist Rak Razam in a frank and revealing interview with Dennis McKenna, on the cusp of his new book publication, The Brotherhood of the Screaming Abyss. Dennis discusses his early life with Terence and the unbreakable bond between his brother and he; living through the first wave of the psychedelic 1960s; the Experiment at La Chorerra (recounted in full, mind-blowing detail) and the fallout that still lingers to this day. The 2012 meme, Timewave Zero, ayahuasca and the Global Shamanic Resurgence are all examined at length, as is the passing of Terence and the impact on his family, and the entheogenic tribe. Dennis also discusses the perils and pitfalls of writing not just a memoir, but a critique of sorts on Terence, his ideas and legacy, and why he wanted to get this book out before Dec 21st, 2012. With additional commentary by Australian shamanic practitioner, Darpan.

(aka the last 2012 panel discussion ever!) photo: Adam Taylor The Hopi Indian myths tell of a final age of Mankind, where a RAINBOW TRIBE shall appear of all peoples, all colors as one. The Mayans have their cosmogenesis telling of the shift coming in 2012, when the the Fifth World is born, even Australian Aborigines have their DREAMTIME mythos.  Ethnobotanist and philosopher Terence McKenna helped fuel the idea of Dec 21st, 2012 as a 'Strange Attractor at the End of Time'... And here we all are, the latest in a long line of youth cultures affected by our relationship with the Earth and the deeper, Gaian consciousness that birthed us... Is Global Trance Culture a bridge between previous youth movements and something even older peaking in waves throughout His-story? What can we do to sacralize our dance, to empower our hearts, and to connect with these potent times to make a difference? Are we the ones we've been waiting for…? Join experiential journalist Rak Razam on this provocative tribal discussion panel held Thursday 15th Nov, 2011 at the Eclipse 2012 Festival in Far North Queensland, Australia, with guest speakers Even Dawn, Mark Heley, Chiara Beclu, Maha Lakshmi Grace and Charles Shaw.

Without the moral compass of a connection to the spiritual dimension are we a lost tribe on the brink of extinction? As Western civilization slides into the Kali Yuga of materialism and a denatured relationship with nature, can examples from previous earth-based cultures show us the way forward? Is the return of the feminine and the Goddess part of the rebalancing, and if so why is it mainly men that are entheogenic spokespeople? What role have psychedelics played in the evolution of human imagination? What is the link between mystical experiences, neuroscience and parallel dimensions? Are we on the cusp of making the great leap forward into an evolved consciousness, and what does that mean to be aware of our place in the web of life? A provocative panel discussion held at the Brisbane Origins of Consciousness tour Thursday 18th October, 2012 with Graham Hancock, Dennis McKenna, Mitch Schultz, Darpan, Des Tramacchi, Dan Schreiber and Rak Razam, facilitated by Steve McDonald.

Experiential journalist Rak Razam meets the world's leading experiential author and researcher, Graham Hancock, as they explore the "fingerprints of the gods" in the archeological record from the Great Pyramid at Giza, the Sphinx and more. Was there an 'Ur-Race' that predated the historical record, so altered by the 'achitecture of cataclysm', and how does that relate to the use of psychedelics in ancient cultures? Was mankind blessed with greater powers in connection with the earth and stars, and are we nowdays a species with amnesia? Is there a conspiracy at work flatlining the true story of our past, and what agenda does controlling history serve? Are we now entering the 'End of His-Story', and the beginning of a new world age? And if so, how can we best awaken to our full potential, to step up to our role as galactic citizens?

In ancient days the sun was worshiped as a living entity, life giver and destroyer all wrapped in one… Entire cultures sacrificed and fed energy to the sun, understanding that the delicate cosmic web must be maintained, and that the process of life works both ways… As we near the time of galactic alignment on Dec 21st 2012, the sun and our solar system has risen above the galactic plane and are now being bombarded with intense galactic energies. The sun is changing, waking, and the earth is following suit, as solar flares affect our magnetic field and change consciousness itself. Join experiential journalist Rak Razam, shamanic practitioner Darpan and the visionary founder of Starseed Gardens Dan Schreiber in an intimate tribal discussion about the living sun and its connection to the sun within, how to cleanse and heal our energy bodies and the assist the process of true illumination.

Experiential journalist Rak Razam hosts a provocative panel discussion from the 2012 Nimbin Mardi Grass on strategic responses to the War on Nature's ally, marijuana. In 1973, almost 40 years ago, the laconic Australian town of Nimbin was first “occupied” by the Aquarius Festival, and twenty years later in 1992, Bob Hopkins heralded the next “occupy” cycle with his one-man protest-surrender at Nimbin police station. Where are the politics of change in 2012 - locally, nationally and internationally? What has evolved, for the better or the worse, over the last four decades? Is 2012 the beginning of a new wave of drug law reform activism? Is there anything to learn from the successes of other political/social movements who have also struggled for fairness and justice? This special 2-hour panel is for organisations and individuals to share their plans, visions and information about their activities, as well as providing an opportunity for seeding synergies and alliances.

In this episode (part 2 of 2) we speak with Rak Razam, author of Aya: A Shamanic Odyssey. We talk about Rak’s involvement with ayahuasca as well as his perspective of reality and the understanding of our culture. Rak Razam is a founding editor of Undergrowth (www.undergrowth.org), Australia’s leading alternative arts and literature magazine, and the world’s leading experiential journalist, writing about and helping shape the emergence of a new cultural paradigm in the 21st century. Author of the critically acclaimed book Aya: A Shamanic Odyssey and the companion volume of interviews, The Ayahuasca Sessions (www.ayathebook.com), he is a frequent lecturer on ayahuasca and the shamanic revival sweeping the West, and is the co-director for the forthcoming Aya: Awakenings DVD (http://vimeo.com/20458066). He was also interviewed and appears in the CBS (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s) 2007 audio documentary In Search of the Divine Vegetal (www.podcastdirectory.com/podshows/2266458) talking about his ayahuaca experiences, which has been broadcast twice due to special demand to millions of people throughout North America.

Experiential journalist Rak Razam talks with independent researcher, author and lecturer Jan Irvin from Gnostic Media about his forthcoming documentary on Gordon Wasson, influential New York banker and the godfather of the modern psychedelic movement. According to the historical record Wasson, an amateur mycologist, first 'discovered' 'magic' mushrooms via Maria Sabina in Oaxaca, Mexico in 1955, the account of which was published in the seminal LIFE magazine on May 13, 1957. Irvin, however has uncovered documentary evidence which points to the possibility of a secret history of the mushroom in the elite power structures of the West, and to the life and times of Gordon Wasson himself. What would it mean to history if the mushroom's true story, at the foundations of world religions, came to light? Does Wasson's entrenched position within the power elites of the banking and establishment world reflect an ongoing fixation with the mushroom and other mind altering sacraments within their own ranks, and in their approach to controlling the illumination of the masses? The sacred and the profane is all revealed in this in-depth, lively discussion that shakes the foundations of psychedelic history.

In this continuation of In a Perfect World 33, experiential journalist Rak Razam interviews author and academic Robert Forte about the origins of the Psychedelic Movement and manipulation by the power elites as a social engineering tool for control of the dominant paradigm. This far-ranging discussion covers Huxley, Wasson, Hofmann, Leary et.al and the social milieu and the role of the CIA and elite steering of the dissemination of psychedelics in the West and the vested interests behind them that have culminated in the global police state that confronts us today. The medical, spiritual and religious arms of the movement are dissected in light of the political agendas that control civilization, as Forte and Razam examine the revolution of the 60s and the revolutionary times we now live through. They ask the critical question: is the commodification of the modern psychedelic movement a prelude to global Soma, and can individuals awaken to their own cosmic sovereignty before it's too late? ROBERT FORTE, AMRS, began his work with psychedelics as a student of Stanislav Grof and Frank Barron, cofounder of the Harvard Psilocybin Project. He obtained his master’s degree under Mircea Eliade and has collaborated with many of the leaders in the field of psychedelics, including R. Gordon Wasson, Timothy Leary, and Huston Smith. A former director of the Albert Hofmann Foundation, he teaches at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Forte's seminal book, Entheogens and the Future of Religion, with contributions by Albert Hofmann, R. Gordon Wasson, Jack Kornfield, Terence McKenna, the Shulgins, Rick Strassman, and others is now back in print, with all proceeds going to support the Council on Spiritual Practices work with psilocybin research.

Experiential journalist Rak Razam chats with "radical anthropologist" and global freakologist Graham St John about the evolution and current direction of Global Trance Culture. With origins in the 60s Acid Tests and the legendary Goa beach parties, the archaic revival of psychedelic trance and dance and group mind has blossomed into a cathartic Temporary Autonomous Zone (TAZ) in almost every modern culture across the planet. Why is this revival of tribality so important and what human need is fulfilled in the psychic moshpit of the dancefloor? How does an anthropological perspective inform these liminal zones and does trance culture itself point towards some gestalt consciousness awakening in the species? Graham's latest book, Global Tribe: Technology, Spirituality and Psytrance will be published by Equinox Press in June/July 2012 .

Experiential journalist Rak Razam talks with Kilindi, an African-American warrior-teacher who works with psilocybin mushrooms as entheogenic guides in the mapping of the inner realms. Where Terence McKenna posited five dried grams as the 'heroic dose', Kilindi regularly takes 20-30 dried grams and goes deeper than most people have experienced, right to the core bardos of existence. His background with martial arts /warfare training colors his approach to exploring innerspace, drawing upon his African ur-shamanism lineage. What are the dangers of colonizing the invisible landscape and encountering interdimensional entities? Could territorial battles result in a 'West Bank of hyperspace?' as humans found 'interdimensional villages'? Does the mushroom access an interdimensional library of translinguistic information that underpins our physical reality? Does it have an agenda and are we ourselves being absorbed by it's mycellium consciousness? Join this fascinating discussion about high doses towards an organic singularity as humans re-engineer themselves into higher consciousness by synergizing the morphenogenic field through the mycellium network… For more information on Kilidi see: The Tamerrian Institute Photo: Adam Taylor and mushroom pics Gerhard Hillman This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported License.

Experiential journalist Rak Razam experiences the "kiss of the kambo", the Brazilian Phyllomedusa Bicolor frog which secretes the most powerful toxin in the Amazon rainforest. Used by indigenous peoples throughout Peru and Brazil as a purgative, the poison of the frog is wooed by singing to the amphibian, and its peptide secretions are then burned into the skin to promote a full-body flush death and rebirth. Known as "ordeal medicine", the kambo ritual is still used today in the Amazonian jungles as a body and consciousness sharpening tool, and is now following in the trail of plant medicines like ayahuasca as an initiation for Westerners. In this rare interview with Brazilian practitioner Oruam, Razam discovers the secrets of the "vaccine of the forest", its lineage, medical usage and spiritual emergence as one of the next wave of shamanic modalities...

Experiential journalist Rak Razam is interviewed by anthropologist Robin Rodd from James Cook University in Queensland, Australia, on all things ayahuasca, Down Under. What are the cultural uses of ayahuasca in Australia and how does it relate to other entheo cultures in South America and elsewhere in the world? Without an unbroken shamanic lineage, Aussiehuasqueros have had to stitch their shamanic practice from multiple sources, sometimes united in a cultural synergy for group shamanizing. The hybridization of not just ayahuasca, but of Amazonian shamanism itself is potent in the Australian counterculture as it births a new hybrid modality suited to the conditions on the land. But what of the cultural archetypes, do they remain the same? How do Australian aboriginal spirits and energies affect the mix? Is there something activating in the vibrational frequency of the Australian Land itself, its songlines and energetic grid, and how does all of this tie into other indigenous prophecies of these changing times?

At the MAPS Psychedelic Science Conference 2010 with experiential journalist Rak Razam: * Rick Doblin talks about the almost 25-year history of MAPS, the Multi-Disciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies, the "end of the beginning of the Psychedelic Renaissance" and why Western culture is now ready for the psychedelic experience and a global spirituality. Rick discusses the return of the 60s elders and the new psychedelic generation, the spiritual approach to entheogens paralleling the medical psy-resurgence, the need to turn on, tune in and stay in the culture as we integrate the numinous, and much more... * Charles Grob outlines some of his landmark studies with entheogenic medicine, including the ayahuasca research of the early 1990s on serotonin-platelet rejuvenation after regular ayahuasca usage and the current cultural uptake; MDMA tests on volunteers and the difference between man-made and indigenous medicines; and psilocybin with late-stage cancer patients treating anxiety. Sacred medicines allow exploration of the great mysteries, Grob says, and induce mystical experiences that are at the root of all true healing... * Ralph Metzner discusses the PTSD-MDMA tests MAPS is sponsoring and the possibility of psychedelics as a soma for the masses; his history with Tim Leary and the Harvard years and the need to move drugs out of law enforcement and back into public health system. background image courtesy of Tim Parish and the Journeybook This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported License.

A rollicking interview with James Oroc, author of the Tryptamine Palace: 5-MeO-DMT and the Sonoran Desert Toad. In which experiential journalist Rak Razam delves into the secret history of DMT from Stephen Szara's experiments in the 1950s, William Burroughs (whom Oroc calls the "Godfather of DMT") and his radical break with English language caused by his DMT experiences ("language is a virus") through to the lower language bardos of the DMT realm where the golden code of meaning manifests. Oroc hypotheizes about the relationship between consciousness and language and the Zero Point Field and recognizing oneness within God. Is 5-MeO-DMT a tool to help us experience on the inside what quantum physics explains on the outside – non-local experiences of the "whiteout" or plenum of energy that lies within? Is 5-MeO-DMT specifically designed to be a sacred template or will it become the "next big thing", full circle from the 60s? Oroc and Razam trade maps of the 5-MeO-DMT space and attempt to tranlinguisticize the bardo spaces of the Godhead, and what lies beyond the beyond...

A 'pillow talk' about the ayahuasca movement conducted the morning after a journey into the infinite with Lara Star, a moderator from the ayahuasca.com forums... In which Lara and experiential journalist Rak Razam discuss Haoma (Syrian Rue) and the branching of the pure Amazonian tradition with the Middle Eastern mystic experience of "haomauasca". If ayahuasca is the "Madre", then Syrian Rue is the Prince, a warrior spirit, Lara suggests, kissing cousins from the same tree, the One Tree that host different plant devas in an overall family. Lara trained with the Peruvian Q'eros shaman Armundo who trained her in the cosmovision of the Andes under San Padro, mescilito and ayahuasca. Here she discusses the ayahuasca.com forums as part of the global shift and an infinite library of initiates awakening. Different shamans initiate and play different roles to different energy needs but Lara says the point is to get people switched on, and if they're not switched on they need to die and be reborn, opening back up to the great pool of becoming...

A lecture given on March 17, 2010 to the Sydney cell of the Evolver network as part of its community "spore" discussion on the future of psychedelics. In which experiential journalist Rak Razam discusses the state of psychedelic culture, where it came from in modern times with the advent of LSD in 1943, the legacy of alchemist Albert Hofmann, and why the psychedelic movement is so important to a sustainable future. Acid opened the mind in the 60s, ecstasy opened the heart in the 80s, and in the 21st century ayahuasca and entheogenic plant sacraments are opening the soul of the West, guiding us back to a cooperative Gaian partnership. As the "second wave of ayahuasca shamanism" sweeps the world in a slo-mo r-evolution, the psychedelic movement is reaching out to the elder indigenous cultures around the world to bridge the gap of our own psychic and spiritual understanding, and is becoming a global entheogenic movement. Can this new wave reach a critical mass of its own understanding, as well as a purity of intent to truly be ready to join the galactic community? Join Razam and the Evolver community to find out...

Australian ayahuasquero and shamanic practicioner Darpan is interviewed by experiential podcaster Rak Razam in this revealing talk about the sacred South American vine and the medicine of the soul. What is ayahuasca and why is it seeding itself across the planet at this critical time? An in-depth examination of the history and uses of madre ayahasca and the shamanistic worldview, with detail about Darpan's origins and the significance of Terence McKenna in introducing him to the vine. How does aya help reveal the infinite levels of the world and how do you manifest your own reality? Darpan explains about the flowering of consciousness in the astral and the planet as Gaia opens up, and how the planet seeders–the programmers– are tending to the earth just as we tend to gardens... Galactivation! The bulk of the podcast is a lengthy lecture by Darpan recorded by Razam in 2006, in which Darpan expounds at length about sacred sound, ayahuasca and plant-based shamanism, and beautifully sings some of his icaros whilst practising Tuvan throat singing... Enjoy! Transcribed portions of this interview were published in the print edition of The Journeybook: Travels on the Frontiers of Consciousness in 2009.

Pharmauscas glossalize and tantalize in their quest for the divine spark. What are ”rec-chems”, the thousands of new wave chemical compounds catalogued by bio-chemist Alexander Shulgin and others? What pathways do these compounds open up, and what do these keys say about the architecture of consciousness itself? Are rec-chems a neurochemical language of the divine, a “Neurobet” spoken only by a new wave of psychonautical translinguists? Is better living through chemistry possible, and what potentials does it offer us individually and as a species? What new maps of hyperspace do rec-chems open up? If rec-chems were integrated by society at large, would we be medicated or augmented? What are the dangers? Are rec-chems catalysts to transhumanity? Panel discussion held at EntheoGenesis Australis 2009 moderated by Rak Razam, featuring speakers: Torsten, Martin Williams, Jeremy, Nano Brain, Julian Palmer. photo courtesy of Spiral Monk c 2009 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported License.

Join passionate plant heads sharing their experiences with psychoactive plants and their relationship to the Gaian matrix. Behind the chemistry are there active intelligences in the plant world, and if so how do we best interact with them? How can reclaiming our human-vegetal partnership help us become a sustainable culture? Why do we need to connect to the plant world? If plants can be teachers, can humans be students? What is our historical and bio-chemical relationship with plants? What does Nature have to teach us? What is the Australian plant kingdom’s place in the global entheo blossoming? Panel discussion held at EntheoGenesis Australis 2009 moderated by Rak Razam, featuring speakers: Jewelli Dollman, Dan Schreiber, Margaret Cross, Michael Bock, Julian Palmer, Rob Bruce and Mulga. photo courtesy of Spiral Monk © 2009 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported License.

A deep meta-programming discussion of the self organizing patterning of God, with experiential podcaster Rak Razam and Colonel Kurtz – the "most dangerous mind in psychedelia". How does reality self-regulate itself, and how conscious is it of the cosmic ecosystem it has created? If we're all part of the spiritual foodchain should we resist being fed and being fed upon by higher Invisible Vampiric Hierarchies? Does the core God-consciousness roll out a template pattern, like a web 'skin' for how things work in the universe, that all subordinate god-patterns have to follow? Are we all 'Meta-Africans' depleted by higher forces and starving for their God-nature? If the role of God is like that of a CPU, then even God must one day take a holiday... But who shall replace him in the cosmic shift-handover? Can an entheonaut with pure intent grasp the mantle, and who is pure enough? Arbitrary meta-patterns, self-organizing patterning, spiritual hierarchies and divine networks... let Colonel Kurtz expand your vocabulary for the wireframe under reality and code a viral memebomb to deconstruct your paradigm. A unique conversation covering the cresting of a generation of psychonauts, homo-morphism, the infamous Fnord Perfect 13th Floor Elevation Tripping Manual for entheogenesis (aka the 'Psychedelic Bible'), God-hacking and deep coding transmissions for those willing to brave the infinite.

In which the podcast author and "experiential journalist" explains to his seven-year-old daughter why he records audio and where the magic is. What he does not explain is that these series of podcasts, "In a Perfect World" will chart his meetings, musings and collective dreamings amongst the cultural creatives of the global tribe,the Ultraculture of the 21st century. These recordings are raw snatches of Beatnikian immediatism, unedited downloads from the tribal journey of remembering... Come anchor the vision and spark the new paradigm alight...
