Episode notes

I keep waiting for the sort of psychedelic renaissance to get here, because we're sort of very much locked in. Very little is actually ontologically exploring or mapping what the fuck is going on up there. So it's within our skin and capsulatides egos or are we accessing an information layer that is basically ex-temporaneous? And if so, what are the physics of that metaphysics? How does access coming and get a shuttle running from those domains? How does it work? How does information there?"

I say this all the time – but today’s interview is one of my favorites of all time. Jamie Wheal is a talented conversationalist, killer writer, and the author of Recapture the Rapture, a supremely high-level how-to book, if you will, on how people might recapture the individual bliss and collaborative magic that we’ve strayed so far away from.

We assess society at this stage of de-evolution before delving into ways Jamie has uncovered that we may deepen our understanding, and thus, our experience. Then, we spend some time talking about sex – past the stigmas and social strcutures put in place to distract and confuse us – to hone in on what a deeply spiritual and connective practice it can be, if you let it.

We wrap with a thoughtful dissection of what makes a bad cult, and what makes a good one. Jamie delivers his insight without even a hint of pretentiousness; he’s honest, hopeful, and confident – giving his words an inviting warmth that I know you’ll enjoy.
