Episode notes

The speaker reflects on the impact of historical suppression on present-day alchemy. They mention that the West faces challenges due to suppressed past and future. They suggest that if ancient mystery schools in Europe hadn't been suppressed by Christianity, psycho-spiritual alchemy would be more advanced. Access to sacred practices, such as psychedelic medicines and sexuality, is crucial for developing certain capacities. Limiting access to these practices dries up access to certain realms and hinders the advancement of alchemy.

This episode is a 're-Cast' from the Coach's Rising podcast, hosted by Joel Monk. I was so moved and inspired by the conversation I thought I'd share it with you all on my stream. I've been following John Churchill's work for some time, and this was exactly the conversation I wanted to have with him. It's a beautiful episode, and I hope you enjoy.

Dr. John Churchill is a Doctor of Psychology and teacher of Buddha Dharma as well as a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine and author. John’s interest in psycho-spiritual development, Integral theory, Contemplative studies, Western Esotericism, and Mahayana Buddhism began in his adolescence, leading him to spend several years as a Buddhist monk at Samye Ling Monastery in Scotland. During this time, John received the esoteric Planetary Dharma transmissions that would in time unfold as his contribution to a planetary fourth turning teaching. He is also a founding member of the Integral Institute.
