LIMINAL NEWS with Daniel Pinchbeck

In his new book, "Breaking Together", Jem Bendell argues we are experiencing the collapse of industrial civilization due to the ecological and climate crisis. A former Professor of Sustainability Leadership at the University of Cumbria, Bendell defines his position as Left "eco-libertarian," supporting human freedom outside of centralized corporate and government structures. He proposes that, often, this freedom is best expressed in tight-knit communities living in balance with their environment. He argues against hyper-technological approaches such as carbon capture or geo-engineering, in favor of humans relearning traditional methods that are inherently resilient and regenerative, and reinventing small-scale communities.

Daniel Pinchbeck interviews Thomas B. Roberts, PhD. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Dr. Roberts, author of The Psychedelic Future of the Mind and MindApps, among other books. Now 85 years old, Roberts became involved with the psychedelic movement way back in the late 1960s / early 70s. He attended seminars and conferences with Alan Watts, Stan Grof, and many other luminaries. For many years, he taught the only university course on the topic of psychedelics to be found in the US, at Northwestern Illinois University. I found it fascinating to get his perspective on the current psychedelic renaissance, which he thought would happen a long time ago! Thomas B.

Daniel Pinchbeck interviews Carolyn Elliott, PhD. I was so happy to interview my old friend Carolyn Elliott about her book, "Existential Kink", and her new Sleepover Mystery School. I find her perspective fascinating and helpful. In addition to being an author, Carolyn has helped thousands of people turn their lives around in her one-on-one coaching and online programs. She specializes in helping people use shadow integration and the alchemy of the psyche to create tangible, concrete results in their lives along with profound spiritual growth.

Daniel Pinchbeck interviews Bernardo Kastrup, PhD. Kastrup is an author, philosopher, and director of the Essentia Foundation. A former scientist with CERN and engineer working in AI, Kastrup believes that consciousness, not matter, is the foundation of reality, which is ultimately mental in nature. His books prove this philosophy with logic and rigor, and explore the social implications of "analytic idealism."

My recent essay, "Thought on Christ Consciousness", read by Chris Hardy (his Substack here).

In this episode, I interview Mitch Horowitz, author of The Miracle Club, on the New Thought" movement in America, a form of pragmatic occultism that encompasses books like The Power of Positive Thinking, Think and Grow Rich, and The Secret. We explore the value and flaws of this popular phenomenon.

For this episode, I speak with Gary Lachman, a prolific author on occult topics and an original member of the band Blondie, about his book, Dark Star Rising, which looks at the occult aspects of Donald Trump's rise (the Kek/Pepe phenomenon) as well as the connection between the resurgent Far Right and esotericism, including the popularity of "Traditionalists" like Rene Guenon and Julius Evola.

A conversation with Brittany Kaiser, formerly an executive at the infamous Cambridge Analytica and a co-founder at Digital Asset Trade Association where she is developing legislation around Blockchain. A human rights advocate who worked for the Obama campaign, Kaiser has been outspoken about her time at Cambridge Analytica, where she saw how the use of personal data from Facebook tilted the last election. She is building a movement for people to gain control over their personal data, which Blockchain-based technology can facilitate. The discussion was recorded at The Assemblage NoMad in the Spring of 2018.
