Hello Seekers! Ben here, today Jamie (AKA the mother of the Pod) joins Jacques, Hesse and I to hear YOUR calls. We hear from Seekers around the world, one of whom doesn't trust her Winco-robbing brother in law, another whose aunt is trying to set him up with another male–despite the fact that that man is NOT gay, and another who wants to know how to covertly start fights at the Thanksgiving table. Yes he is an evil gay man. Plus Jamie tells us about how she accidentally sat on her Grandfathers lap while he was on the toilet. Pause.
Ep. 210 (Part 3 of 3) | In Part 3 of the 15th dialogue in the A. H. Almaas Wisdom Series, Hameed Ali speaks about the evolutionary aspect of the creative dynamism of the universe. He explains there is an optimizing, transformative force that is responsible for one form changing to another, like a caterpillar to a butterfly. This developmental force is in alignment with Western concepts of evolution and progress, and applies to spiritual realization, too. There is also an optimizing force specific to the human soul, Hameed tells us, that fuels the hearts that burn with the desire for liberation. This is the force responsible for spiritual development. In Buddhism it is called bodhicitta, the desire for enlightenment.Why do some people have a fierce desire to seek the truth, asks co-host Roger Walsh, but many do not? Hameed replies that most people are busy making a living, doing their best to get by. In this case the transformative force remains a potential but is not actualized. Seekers possessed by the flame of the search turn inward, asking, What is God? What is truth? What is reality? Scientists look at this externally, he says, but it is the inward turn that reveals the source of the inner fire, the logos, the word that speaks through our souls and through our hearts. Towards the end of the conversation, Hameed laughs at how upside down things are with us looking for answers everywhere but within and thinking the logos speaks through who we think we are, not realizing we ourselves actually are the logos. If we realize who we truly are, he says, the world itself becomes richer. Another infinitely inspiring talk with A. H. Almaas, filled with astonishing wisdom and loving humor.

Friday Juma KhutbaNovember 21st, 2025The sermon opens by reminding believers to maintain God-consciousness and seek protection from spiritual pitfalls.The global Shia community is commemorating the martyrdom of Lady Fatima al-Zahra (a), whose short life left a profound and lasting impact on Islamic history.Many non-Muslims first drawn to the tragedy of Karbala end up discovering Fatima (a), which becomes a turning point in their spiritual journey.Christopher Clohessy, a Catholic priest, was led to Fatima (a) through his research on Imam Husayn, finding deep parallels between Fatima and Mary in Christianity.A Hindu convert to Islam also found his final spiritual pull through studying the life of Lady Fatima (a).Even within the Arab world, seekers have embraced Shi‘ism after being moved by the eloquence and conviction of Fatima's sermons, especially her arguments on inheritance rights.Fatima's powerful words in her khutbah—challenging injustice and affirming Qur'anic truth—have transformed hearts and guided many towards recognizing her spiritual authority.She is described as a “furqan,” a divine standard that separates truth from falsehood.The second sermon highlights a section of Fatima's speech explaining the spiritual and social wisdom behind various Islamic rituals.These include faith as purification, prayer as removal of arrogance, charity as growth, fasting as sincerity, justice as unity, obedience to the Ahlul Bayt as protection from division, and many other ethical foundations culminating in pure monotheism.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

The following is a summary of the podcast excerpts, incorporating the requested format and terminology changes:The speaker, currently looking for an ideal location to paint landscapes on horizontal canvases, reflects on connections between personal experience and media narratives.The speaker recounts a "weird coincidence" involving finding the perfect painting location after thinking about the name Virgil:While driving and listening to a podcast through a single earbud, the speaker was focused on Jungian psychology—specifically, descriptions of life events as an "alchemical process to trigger psychic integration".The calm voice in the ear felt like a guide, perfectly describing the processes the speaker was concurrently experiencing, similar to how Virgil guides Dante through Hell in the Divine Comedy.The speaker realized this connection after having recently thought about the Divine Comedy cycle (Hell, Purgatory, Paradise).As soon as the speaker thought the name "Virgil," they saw a cross on the side of the road with the name Virgil on it, marking the location that turned out to be the "ideal spot for this painting".The speaker plans to return later, closer to sunset, when the mountains "turn red" for optimal lighting.The speaker provided updates on the 24-hour live stream initiative, noting that the focus is currently the "recruitment phase":The speaker has replayed 11 hours and 9 minutes, and is currently uploading a 4-hour live stream, bringing the total content to 15 hours, with the goal of reaching a full 24 hours by the end of the week.The live stream is intended to work out bugs before heavy promotion.It will always be live on X (pinned on the IPS thinktank account) and comments will be relayed into a separate Discord live chat thread.New content, including archived group chats and "10-minute videos where I break down specific components, you know, world stage, meta script, history bending," will be added to the 24/7 stream.The core of the discussion involves challenging the limitations of mainstream and alternative media views, which the speaker defines as a duopoly and a "closed system".The Failure of Skepticism:The speaker argues that critical examination of presented evidence is routinely avoided:Default responses to connections are "canned responses" used by those defending the "matrix" against "mind viruses"—ideas like the premise of fake staged events.True skeptics would create a "steelman argument" based on the best evidence presented and then attempt to destroy it.Instead, critics rely on ad hominem fallacies like claiming the speaker is "crazy," has a "tin foil hat on," or is in an "internet echo chamber". The World Stage Model and "Parallel Media":The speaker frames the media landscape using several metaphorical models to explain how systemic fakery and Psyops are concealed:Duopoly and Control: The duopoly (mainstream and alternative) are passive receivers of content; the "alternative is a subset of the mainstream". The speaker's work offers "parallel media," questioning the infrastructure that creates narratives for both sides.Seekers vs. Believers: The duopoly produces believers who accept conclusions from chosen sources, while the speaker and colleagues are seekers who confront "known unknowns" and become the "informed disbeliever". Conspiracy theorists, by contrast, rush to fill knowledge gaps with "alternative facts".Plato's Cave: The world stage is a modern interpretation where mainstream media displays "shadows on the wall," and alternative media provides an "adjacent cave on the way out with alternative shadows". Those who exit the entire cave system are deemed crazy by the "Plato's cave dwellers".Westworld Syndrome: People who refuse to confront "long-term media manipulation, how systemic it is and evidences for it" suffer from Westworld syndrome. Their programmed response to evidence that would deconstruct their false model is, "That doesn't look like anything to me".

Together, they dive deep into the real essence of the Greek gods — beyond myth — and explore how these deities represent universal laws, virtues, and living forces that guide us today.From the mysteries of Zeus and Aphrodite to the misunderstood roles of Hekate and Dionysus, this conversation bridges witchcraft and religion, exploring how the old ways are alive, evolving, and deeply needed in our world.

American intellectuals always seem to believe they are living through the end times. From the fascist poet Ezra Pound in the 1930s to the historian of fascism Timothy Snyder today, they flee America in despair. In Seekers and Partisans,, Boston University historian David Mayers tells the story of these exiled thinkers between 1935 and 1941 — what he calls “the crisis years.” But crisis… what crisis? Compared to Germany, Russia, or even Western Europe, America's troubles were relatively modest. So is history repeating itself nearly a century later? Are today's “Trumpagies” — intellectuals disillusioned with Trump's America — the second coming of Ezra Pound and his fellow seekers and partisans of the interwar years?1. History doesn't repeat — but it rhymes.Mayers argues that the wave of “Trumpagies” today — intellectuals leaving America out of despair — echoes but doesn't duplicate the 1930s exodus. Americans have long fled home in search of moral or political clarity abroad, though their motives shift with each crisis.2. The 1930s “crisis years” were more imagined than real.While Mayers' book Seekers and Partisans frames 1935–1941 as “the crisis years,” he notes that America's troubles then were mild compared to the totalitarian catastrophes of Europe. The panic, he suggests, often existed more in the minds of intellectuals than in the republic itself.3. Idealism and delusion often go hand in hand.Figures like Ezra Pound, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Anna Louise Strong reveal how moral passion can curdle into political blindness — from fascist sympathies to uncritical faith in communism or empire. Smart people, Mayers observes, can “get things dreadfully wrong.”4. The duty isn't to flee — it's to stay.Asked what lessons apply to Trump-era exiles, Mayers insists the responsible act is not flight but persistence: to “stay here and salvage the situation.” The illusion, he says, is that “things are all that brilliant elsewhere.”5. The American Dream includes its disillusionments.From the 1930s “seekers and partisans” to today's disenchanted academics, the impulse to escape America reveals as much about its promise as its failures. The intellectual's panic, Mayers suggests, is part of America's enduring struggle to understand itself.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Where do you seek approval of others? Whom do you fear disappointing? In these verses, John seeks to make sense of the fact that many who witnessed Jesus' life refused to believe they were looking for glory in the wrong place. In looking at their faulty belief, we can begin to understand the unbelief in our own hearts as well.

Novelist and screenwriter Bruce Wagner returns to discuss his exceptionally timely new novel Amputation—a strange, exuberant, and ultra meta work set against a topic I've talked about a lot this year, the January LA wildfires. Bruce, an L.A. native and prominent literary figure in the city, explains how the book came together in less than two months, why he resists “political novels” even when writing inside a political moment, and how language (not legacy) keeps him making art. We also talk about real-life figures who appear as characters (Stephen Colbert, Mayor Karen Bass, Debra Winger, and a Timothée Chalamet student double, among others), the surrealism of driving through miles of leveled neighborhoods, and the deranged comic-tragic chorus of the Nextdoor app. Bruce also reflects on being an L.A. “outsider who outsided his way inside,” why the book is opera, not noir, and what it means to keep walking the “narrow, burning road to the palace.” Guest Bio: Bruce Wagner is the author of fifteen novels, including the “cell phone” trilogy, The Marvel Universe, The Met Gala and Tales of Saints and Seekers, Roar: American Master, and now Amputation. A longtime Hollywood insider/outsider, he has written for film and television and is currently published by Arcade.
Send us a textWhen the veil thins, the body becomes the first altar. In this candid, unfiltered conversation, somatic coach, witch, and trauma-informed Domme Melissa Gutierrez joins Leandra and Elyse to demystify somatics and show how movement reshapes mind, emotions, and (yes) magick. We explore the twin currents of sex magick and death work—how they naturally braid together in healing, grief, and rebirth—and why ethical containers, consent, and nervous-system literacy matter for real transformation.Melissa shares her cultural roots, what “sensation integration” looks like in practice, and how to work with triggers as teachers. We talk science-meets-mysticism, reclaiming the hips and voice from shame, adult agency in the body, and why community mirrors are essential for growth. If you've ever wondered how to actually feel energy, hold a vision through arousal, or approach spirit and ancestors without fear, this episode is your map.
America saw a significant reverse-migration in the 1800s and 1900s, with 20–50% of Italian immigrants returning to Italy as ritornati and tens of thousands of Americans, including ideologues and workers, moving to Germany, Italy, and the USSR in the 1930s seeking political or economic opportunities. Some of these American expatriates were drawn to revolutionary movements in Europe and Asia, blending idealism with political activism Today’s guest is David Mayers, author of Seekers and Partisans: Americans Abroad in the Crisis Years, 1935–1941. We discuss alienated Americans who went abroad during the interwar years in search of a new home and/or to further deeply personal causes. They include John Robinson, a black aviator who in 1935 led the Ethiopian air force against the Italian invasion; Agnes Smedley, who joined the Chinese communists during the Sino-Japanese war; Helen Keller, an advocate of the seeing- and hearing-impaired; Ezra Pound, a lauded poet who championed Mussolini; and Anna Louise Strong, drawn to Stalin's USSR.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#WDRadio Week of Sept 21, 2025: When desperate believers sold everything they owned to follow self-proclaimed prophets promising salvation, they discovered a horrifying truth: the line between divine vision and madness was written in poison, prison bars, and the hangman's noose. From miracle eggs inscribed with holy messages to a 65-year-old virgin claiming to carry the Messiah, this is the disturbing pattern of religious mania that swept through the 19th century, leaving thousands betrayed and broken in its wake.==========HOUR ONE: Claiming to audibly hear from God either makes you crazy, or a prophet – and only time can tell which is true. If you claim things are going to happen because God says they will – and then they don't happen – that means you're cray cray, and a false prophet. That also makes your followers a bunch of dupes. Sadly, the 19th and 20th centuries were full of crazy false prophets with mindless sheep worshipping them. (Creating False Prophets) *** Headline: “Exciting Wake!” When you see the words “exciting” and “wake” in the same headline, you can make a guess that someone is not resting in peace! (Exciting Wake)==========HOUR TWO: “The Witching Hour of 3AM” *** You don't have to go to a cemetery or haunted house to experience the supernatural. You don't need to drive a cursed road to encounter a ghost. Sometimes the paranormal takes place on military bases. (The Military And The Mysterious) *** The corpse of a murderer winds up doing advertising for a drug store. (The Murder of Maggie Walker) *** In 1922, an otherwise unremarkable farmhouse in Novia Scotia was the site of alleged poltergeist activity which made headlines all over Canada and the United States. A poltergeist that liked to set fires. (The Fire Spook of Caledonia Mills)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: A smitten fan falls in love with a talented actress, and convinces himself she loves him in return. This sounds very much like a story out of today's entertainment magazines – but this tale of unrequited love took place in the 1880's. (The Lunatic James Dougherty) *** The terrifying Aswang is the most feared creature of Philippine folklore—and with good reason. I'll tell you why. (The Deadly Aswang) ** Reports have been coming in from people claiming to see full-sized African lions not in the Savannah or in the wilderness – but in North America. But is there any truth to the their claims?
