This week's show is with Terje Simonsen. Terje G. Simonsen is a Norwegian Historian of Ideas and non-fiction author, specializing in the esoteric and occult. He is educated at the University of Oslo, where he also has taught introductory courses on philosophical and literary works. His dissertation on the anthroposophical journal Janus received much acclaim and was released as a book in 2001. In the prestigious series The Cultural Library and The World's Holy Scriptures, Simonsen has published essays on I and Thou, the mystically inspired main work by the dialogue philosopher Martin Buber, and The First Book of Enoch, an esoteric text from antiquity. Simonsen has received several grants, and is a full member of ESSWE, the European Society for the Study of Western Esotericism. - In addition, Simonsen is educated in gestalt therapy and psychosynthesis, and his varied career has also included stints in psychiatry, kindergarten, museums, security, catering etc. Today he works as a freelance writer. Simonsen is also a café aficionado, salsa dancer, amateur pianist and chess player. Since childhood Simonsen has been fascinated by 'magical' phenomena as telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and healing—an interest based on some peculiar experiences of his own as well as strange stories told by friends and family. Later, this fascination led to extensive forays into esoteric and occult traditions, where such phenomena are not seen as chimera but as part of an expanded consciousness, and also into the science about such phenomena, i.e. parapsychology. The result is the present book, an entertaining, colorful and multifaceted good read, endorsed by several of the world's foremost experts in the field as well as a number of other authors and critics. In this conversation, a part two to our last conversation which was about the mental internet - Terje's metaphor for the collective unconsciousness, Terje and I explored how we can actually use it! We spoke about several of the powerful and also practical uses of the mental internet and went deep into military use and then what we might call personal growth or soul work in the ways described by Jung. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group. What you'll learn from this episode: Just like with the actual internet, we can use the mental internet in so many ways to download, transmit and receive important information Understanding how such vastly different field as the military and Jungian depth psychology have both harnessed the mental internet for profoundly efficacious purposes, really helps to ground it into something way beyond something that's just fun or nonsense I love Terje's description of "Finger tip feeling', we need to learn how to resensitise and open to receive the sometimes subtle ways the mental internet transmits Resources and stuff that we spoke about: Terje's author-page at Amazon.com: Terje G.

This week's show is with Craig Richardson. Craig Richardson describes himself as a 'camper, hiker, animist, bodhrán drummer, mushroomer, waterfall chaser, weed-eater, rewilding human and student of life. He is interested in what he calls "deep humanity", and seeks to understand the interplay between modern living and our more primal roots. This interest has led him on a personal journey of understanding his own deeper humanity, in such areas as diet, lifestyle, language, art, education, spirituality and community. In this conversation, Craig and Lian explored toxic masculinity vs healthy masculinity, inspired by a post that Craig wrote which included a quote from Iron John by Robert Bly "The activity that men were once known for is no longer required." We spoke about what those activities are that Bly was referring to, what we've all lost in the process and how it's led to men to a disconnection from self, other men, community, and the land. Lastly, we explored ways back to that connection. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group

This week's show is with Daniel Pinchbeck. Daniel Pinchbeck is the New York Times bestselling author of Breaking Open the Head, 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, How Soon Is Now, and When Plants Dream (with Sophia Roklhin). He hosted the talk show Mind Shift on Gaia TV and was featured in the 2010 documentary, 2012: Time for Change. He has written for many publications including The New York Times Magazine, Rolling Stone, Wired, Dazed & Confused, Purple, and ArtForum. He is the director of Liminal.news, an online course platform, and publishes a regular newsletter, Danielpinchbeck.substack.com . In this conversation, Daniel and I explored the fascinating topic of DMT, (N, N-Dimethyltryptamine) also known as the Spirit Molecule. We covered what DMT is, its history and research that's been done about it, and how Daniel sees its role in human consciousness and the challenges of the world today. I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.   What you'll learn from this episode: Daniel described the two schools of thought around the use of psychedelics, one ceremonial and one purely focused on their medical use, given the wider benefits of modern humans reclaiming our connection to nature and to the ancient practice of ceremony and ritual, if you're listening to this show then you don't need to choose between those options - you can have both! I loved what Daniel said about the ways that different spiritual traditions have practices such as darkness immersion and meditation that open humans to the kinds of experiences that taking DMT can create... ultimately all of these practices appear to be giving us an experience of reality beyond that of our ordinary human consciousness There's a renaissance in the use of DMT in its various forms happening now and we're discovering uses and benefits in all kinds of fields - as Daniel said, this could be akin to the period in which we discovered electricity and how to harness it Resources and stuff that we spoke about Daniel's Official Newsletter   Thank you for listening!
