Ho ho, Yaldi! Stephen Mandes Thomas joins me to discuss his new book, The Sacramental Magic of Advent. We'll focus on the Gnostic and Esoteric Christian gifts for the yuletide and solstice seasons, aiming to re-enchant a world grown tired of bland materialism. We'll also delve into the liturgical cycle to uncover the magical philosophy behind other sacred seasons, fasts, and traditional feasts. You will find deep connections between esoteric Christianity and other mystical streams beyond Gnosticism, such as Rosicrucianism and Hermeticism. By integrating ceremonial ritual with daily prayer and meditation, you get ready to perceive the divine across various planes of existence.

In this episode of the AppleVis Extra podcast, hosts Dave Nason and Thomas Domville speak with StephenLovely, the creator of Vision AI Assistant, a rapidly emerging web-based accessibility tool designed primarily for blind and visually impaired users. Stephen explains the motivation behind the project, rooted in his own lived experience as a person who has been blind since birth, and how that perspective shaped every design decision. The discussion covers the app's core philosophy of giving users control over what visual information they receive, rather than forcing them to listen to long, generic descriptions.The conversation explores Vision AI Assistant's major features in depth, including the Photo Explorer, which allows users to explore images by touch and zoom into specific areas for granular detail; Live Camera Mode, which provides near real-time environmental feedback and action detection; object tracking for navigation; sign and text reading via gesture-based interaction; physical book reading with page tracking; and optional voice commands. Stephen explains how the app leverages a progressive web app model to deliver instant updates across platforms, why he chose the Base44 language model, and how careful prompt engineering minimizes hallucinations while allowing medically descriptive output when needed.The hosts and guest also discuss privacy considerations, data handling, accessibility trade-offs between web and native apps, and the financial realities of running AI-driven services. Stephen outlines future plans, including native app wrappers, potential integration with smart glasses, expanded social media accessibility, and a sustainable subscription model. The episode concludes with reflections on community-driven development, responsiveness, and the broader impact of having accessibility tools led by people with lived experience.Guest contact information: Website: https://visionaiassistant.com Phone: 1-866-825-6177TranscriptDisclaimer: This transcript was generated by AI Note Taker – VoicePen, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers' names, voices, or content.Dave: Hello there and welcome to another episode of the AppleVis Extra podcast. My name is David Mason and I am once again joined by my good friend Thomas Domville, also known as AnonyMouse. Today we're here to talk about an app that has somewhat exploded on the AppleVis website over the past few weeks called Vision AI Assistant. So yeah, thanks for joining me Thomas, it's going to be a really interesting conversation.Thomas: Right, Dave, and this is going to be kind of an exciting one because this is something a little different than we typically do. Just because it's a web app and not like a native app per se, like we've typically done interviews with other developers, but with this technology, you said it right on. This has exploded. I mean, this has only been out for about a month. And if you haven't been on AppleVis, this is really something that you should take a look at. This is like the next level of things that we can do or AI can do for us visually that others are not doing. So I'm excited to do this interview with Stephen.Dave: Yeah, absolutely. So rather than us trying to describe the app, let's dive in, chat to Stephen and get the lowdown on all of the great ideas…

Get ready for a comprehensive journey on those Wetiko forces, as author, philosopher, and journalist Jonathan Zap joins me. We'll delve into the concept of mind parasites, energy parasites, and vampires, exposing this cosmos where we're a hidden food chain where deities and demons feed on human psychic energy. The discussion examines the phenomenon through firsthand accounts, referencing the chaotic social environment of the author's visions, the notion of sexual Chi as an energetic food source, and the ancient Gnostic perspective on the harvesting deities known as the Archons. We'll also explore the biological basis of parasitism and co-evolution, highlighting examples of parasites that take over their hosts, and suggest potential remedies, such as a shift to a hypometabolic diet, to guard against these unseen energetic entities.

The Modern Therapist's Survival Guide with Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy
How Therapists Can Help Clients Finally Sleep: An Interview with Jessica Fink, LCSW-S Curt and Katie interview sleep specialist Jessica Fink, LCSW-S, about what therapists often misunderstand about sleep—and what actually helps when clients are stuck in cycles of insomnia, nighttime anxiety, or maladaptive sleep behaviors. Jessica breaks down the limits of sleep hygiene, the fundamentals of CBT-I, what to do when clients wake up at 3 a.m. spiraling, how to distinguish tired vs. sleepy, and why wearables and blue light might be overrated concerns. She also shares how therapists can confidently assess sleep disorders and support behavioral sleep change without overmedicalizing the issue. About Our Guest: Jessica Fink, LCSW-S Jessica Fink, LCSW-S is a Texas-based therapist who specializes in sleep issues, PTSD, OCD, chronic pain and maladaptive overcontrol. As a CBT-oriented provider, Jessica uses structured, data-driven approaches combined with flexibility and creativity to create real, lasting change. Jessica values client independence, designing therapy to equip individuals with their own tools and coping strategies. Jessica's practice is entirely online and accessible to all Texas residents. Key Takeaways for Therapists Sleep hygiene is prevention—not treatment for insomnia. CBT-I is counterintuitive: don't go to bed until sleepy, and get out of bed if awake too long. A consistent wake time matters more than bedtime. Blue light isn't the enemy most people think it is. Wearables can increase anxiety and worsen sleep perfectionism (“orthosomnia”). Therapists play a crucial role even in medically driven sleep disorders like sleep apnea. Scheduled “constructive worry” times can reduce nighttime rumination.

Time to finally escape the archon simulation, as Jason Reza Jorjani joins me to discuss his new book, Thanosis. He'll share overwhelming evidence for consciousness enduring bodily death, examining rigorous studies of Near-Death Experiences, veridical reincarnation cases, and unexplained phenomena like possession and xenoglossy. This investigation reframes the soul as an informational pattern within a quantum computational cosmos, suggesting that the conventional “afterlife” is actually an engineered psychotronic bureaucracy designed to recycle consciousness and harvest energetic output, often referred to as “loosh.” Discover the training, tactics, and technologies required to assert sovereignty beyond death, refusing the “Light” (the soul magnet) and transforming the realm of transition from a bureaucratic trap into a frontier of self-authored existence.

Let's put that matter to rest before the Scientific Materialism decides on another assault. It's an honor to be joined by Olivier Bonnassies, author of God, the Science, the Evidence. We'll explore a compelling compilation of rational arguments supporting the existence of a creator God, asserting that modern science has unexpectedly become an ally of belief over the past century, fundamentally redefining the debate over existence. The investigation covers pivotal scientific breakthroughs, including the evidence for an absolute beginning to the universe (the Big Bang), the astonishingly precise fine-tuning of physical constants, and the profoundly unlikely emergence of life from inert matter. This comprehensive approach extends beyond the laboratory to examine evidence from philosophy, ethics, and historical enigmas, revealing how deeply the materialist worldview is challenged and demonstrating its resulting lack of rational justification.

Have I mentioned lately that all roads lead to Simon Magus? I have, and it's truer than ever. Dr. Raymond Taylor joins me to discuss groundbreaking research that positions the “Father of all Heresies” as the font of Gnosticism, Christianity, and other ancient movements. He is Paul, and he is the true successor of John the Baptist. He is the savior hidden in the New Testament, and the figure the rising church feared the most and had to censor savagely. Most of all, Simon's teachings contain the true path to cosmic Gnosis and the liberation of humanity. Not too shabby, eh?

In this November edition of Apple Crunch, Thomas, John, and Desiree dig into a surprisingly busy month for Apple. We start with the iPhone Air's underwhelming debut and why Apple may be rethinking its strategy after weak sales and confusing pricing. Next, we explore Apple's ongoing talks to bring a Gemini-powered core to Siri—what that means for privacy, how it blends with Apple Intelligence, and how it may finally close the gap with today's leading AI assistants.We also look ahead to iOS 27, which is shaping up to be a major stability-focused update across all Apple platforms—echoing the beloved Snow Leopard era—with an emphasis on fixing long-standing issues including Braille bugs and Personal Voice quirks.From there, we move into Apple's evolving 2026 roadmap, including new release schedules for iPhones and Macs, the long-rumored foldable iPhone, a next-generation smart home device, and early hints of Apple smart glasses. We also discuss a promising Vision AI web app offering detailed grid-based image exploration and real-time scene updates. Finally, we wrap up with our App Pick of the Month, Ramblio, a social audio platform reminiscent of Clubhouse and Vorail.Hosted ByThomas Domville (AnonyMouse)John GassmanDesiree ReneeCrunchy ChaptersAir Turbulence — The iPhone Air Stalls on the RunwayWe examine the disappointing performance of the iPhone Air: weak launch-day demand, pricing too close to the Pro lineup, and confusion around where the device fits. We explore whether the Air should even be a yearly release and what Apple may adjust for the next version.The Siri Shake-Up — Gemini Steps Into the SpotlightWe unpack Apple's potential plan to integrate a Gemini-powered model into Siri. The team discusses privacy protections, how this pairs with Apple Intelligence, and how this hybrid approach may finally bring Siri up to modern AI standards.Stability Surge — iOS 27 Aims to Smooth Out the Rough EdgesReports suggest iOS 27 and all major Apple OS updates next year will focus heavily on stability and bug fixes rather than new features. We discuss the need for accessibility fixes—including Braille reliability and Personal Voice issues—and why a Snow Leopard–style year is long overdue.Future Shock — Apple's 2026 Roadmap Promises a Wild Ride)Apple is restructuring its entire release calendar. We highlight the new E-series iPhones coming early in the year, delayed base-model iPhones, refreshed MacBook Air and Pro models, the pricey foldable iPhone, and an upcoming smart home display. Early signs of Apple smart glasses also enter the conversation.Eyes Forward — A New Wave of Vision AI Assistance)We explore a powerful new Vision AI web app featuring a 6-grid photo mode, zoomable image analysis, real-time live view with two-second refreshes, and smart duplicate filtering—all designed to give blind and low-vision users richer environmental insights.AnonyMouse App Pick of the Month — RamblioRamblio is a simple, audio-based social networking app blending asynchronous rambling with real-time hangouts.

It's always a pleasure when Mark Cordova arrives at the Virtual Alexandria. He'll dive deep into the sacred, eternal numerology of the viral number 6-7, revealing its Gnostic meaning, and alarmingly, it might represent the Antichrist power in this universe. But there are Christ numbers in the ether, so don't worry, even as we find there are many antichrists we have to worry about. He'll also tackle the archons and the Monad, revealing much hidden knowledge and our true identity as eternal light-water Souls. And why not cover free-energy Tartarian civilization, Norea, and other electric topics?

How about an AB Short to make sure you don't get too comfortable during the holiday season? It's serious, man, and it's based on my interview with Adrian Smith. He exposes the Fabian Society and how they are as active as ever, from the World Economic Forum to England's leadership to Canadian “healthcare,” happily radiating the world with mind-control, useless wars, eugenics, and nation-building.

Making public a fantastic Finding Hermes presentation with Cyrus Ryan from the Northern School of Esoteric Wisdom. He shared from his new book, Esoteric Writings, useful meditation and magic technology in real time. From Hinduism to Buddhism, from Theosophy to Hermeticism, we got the mystic creme de la creme. You'll love some exercises like “Seeing the Seer” and more. He wasn't too kind to famous gurus like Osho, Alan Watts, and others—and you'll see why.

Send us a textI'm back! And today I'm diving into the end of the year… the big wins, the momentum, and yeah—some of the stuff giving me major heartburn right now.A lot of voice actors don't realize this, but the holiday stretch is prime time for scooping up extra VO work. Tons of actors check out for the season, and they let opportunities fly right on by. Meanwhile, businesses are sitting on leftover budget they have to spend before the year closes. That's your shot to step in and snag projects you might not normally get.I'm also sharing a bit about my own voiceover journey and giving you an update on where things stand with Academy Voices.50% Off First MONTH FOR VO JOURNEY ACADEMY HERE: https://www.avosjourney.comJoin Academy Voices Talent Roster Here: https://www.academyvoices.com/offers/4sNBzDc9 Support the showSocial Links: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/anthony_pica_vo/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/AVOsJOURNEY Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/avosjourney/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonypicavo/

I'm very excited to host Alicen Grey, who will give us the honest and liberating Gnosis with her new book, Synchronicities: The Signs All Point To You. We'll dive into the true nature of synchronicity, moments of illumination when the veil of Time dissolves and the timeless reality of the Inner World is revealed in the Outer World. You'll learn why commonly held beliefs—that these events are external messages, guides, or signs pointing you toward a course of action—are misconceptions that can lead to confusion and devastating consequences. Alicen provides an urgent call to embrace radical self-responsibility, using these powerful occurrences as a feedback system to diagnose your internal state and understand that all signs ultimately point back to you.

We always win any Devil's bargain when Dr. Paul Bishop graces the Virtual Alexandria. He'll discuss his new book, Jung and the Epic of Transformation Vol. 2: Goethe's “Faust” as a Text of Transformation. We'll explore a crucial text in the bridge of the spirit, widely considered the most critical work of German literature, spanning the cosmic journey from a prologue in heaven to hell. Paul's analysis delves into the protagonist's profound dilemma of the split personality and his existential self-alienation, which drives him to embrace ceaseless activity and a perilous descent into the depths of the unconscious, seeking fulfillment in the Unattainable. We'll examine how themes like redemption, eternal growth, and the concept that all transient reality is merely a likeness reveal the enduring mystery and importance of this work as an epic of transformation.

It's always aeonic when Gary Lachman materializes at the Virtual Alexandria. He'll discuss his new work, Touched by the Presence.
