Ep 568LF452 Paul Sutton – Can Only Fantasy Be Realistic Today?

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Paul Sutton and Greg Moffitt in conversation. Popular culture – TV, films, literature – both reflects society and influences it. In an increasingly repressive and ‘woke’ artistic world, is fantasy now the style best suited to commentary on the so-called ‘real world’ where political correctness dominates discourse at the expense of freedom of speech? Where we once had cutting satire to ridicule politics, religion, academia, the arts and so on, we now have more subtle and supposedly safer forms of subversion which seem to reflect a general retreat into unreality in our day to day lives. Identity politics, online safety acts and hate speech laws have muted millions for fear of castigation or even criminalization, and creativity is suffering as a result.

Ep 567LF451 Michelle Horsley - Techno-Utopia Versus Neo-Feudalism: Crisis and Collapse in Energy and Economy

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Greg Moffitt and Michelle Horsley in conversation. At every level of society, from personal to global, we face mounting crises in The 3 Es – Energy, Economy, Environment. These have been well documented on this podcast right back to its beginning in 2012. But they're nothing new. The first major signs of pinch points involving all three arguably first appeared during the oil crisis of the 1970s. Since then, national, international and global institutions based on and attempting to exert control over these systems have been dominated by the idea that there is a technological solution to every problem. However, at the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, problems with energy supply and the monetary system are becoming increasingly difficult to manage. What this may mean for our day to day lives is finally beginning to manifest in mass consciousness, even as technocratic government and corporate elites scramble to suppress the gathering signs of systemic stress and ultimately, collapse. The current war in Iran should give us pause as we watch an advanced society struggling to cope without water, without food, without power, without communications. Is it time to consider how such crushing constraints might impact you in the not too distant future?

Ep 566LF41 Peter Russell – Science, Spirituality and the Origin of Consciousness

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Western science has had remarkable success in explaining the functioning of the material world, but when it comes to the inner world of the mind, it has very little to say. And when it comes to consciousness itself, science falls curiously silent. There is nothing in physics, chemistry, biology, or any other science that can account for our having an interior world. In a strange way, scientists would be much happier if minds did not exist. Yet without minds there would be no science. This ever-present paradox may be pushing Western science into what Thomas Kuhn called a paradigm shift – a fundamental change in worldview. Peter is one of the leading thinkers on consciousness and contemporary spirituality and author of a number of books including From Science to God: A Physicist’s Journey into the Mystery of Consciousness, Waking Up in Time: Finding Inner Peace in Times of Accelerating Change and The Global Brain: The Awakening Earth in a New Century. He believes that the critical challenge today is to free human thinking from the limited beliefs and attitudes that lie behind so many of our problems – personal, social, and global. His mission is to distil the essential wisdom on human consciousness found in the world’s various spiritual traditions, and to disseminate their teachings on self-liberation in contemporary and compelling ways. Peter is a fellow of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, of The World Business Academy and of The Findhorn Foundation, and an Honorary Member of The Club of Budapest. www.peterrussell.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Tangerine Dream ‘Cloudburst Flight’

Ep 565LF450 Thomas Lombardo – The Future Evolution of Consciousness PART 1

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Thomas Lombardo and Greg Moffitt in conversation. In a universe portrayed in the modern age as being utterly devoid of meaning and purpose, emotion is often regarded as little more than human weakness. There is a widely held view that emotion should certainly play no part in major decisions and actions, be they politics, business, science, or war. But what if emotion were actually one of the fundamental features of consciousness itself, guiding its evolution? Against a background of the overall origin and nature of consciousness, we ask: What if it is in fact impossible for emotion – and its partner motivation – to be separated from thinking and reason? What if they are essentially two sides of the same coin? Science is driving the development of the technologies which will most affect our future: renewable energy, food production, employment, medicine, finance, surveillance, and international security. And yet it is a falsehood that science – or anything else in the realm of human affairs – can somehow operate independently from human emotion and motivation. If this is understood and integrated, we have a better chance of a future less motivated by greed, power, hatred and revenge.

Ep 564LF207 John Michael Greer – Dark Age America: Part Two

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE As we lurch on into the early part of the 21st Century, converging crises in energy, economy, and environment are rapidly undermining the foundations of industrial civilization and the materialistic way of life which so many of us take for granted. Energy – because cheap, easily accessible fossil fuels are running out and industrial civilization as we know it simply cannot be sustained by renewables. Economy – because at almost every level, global, national, corporate, and personal, we are drowning in debt that cannot and therefore will not be repaid but whose unravelling will cause mass destruction of governments, banks, entire industries, and millions of lives. Environment – because centuries of industrial civilization have wreaked havoc on the biosphere, triggering catastrophic climate change while poisoning the ecosystems on which life on Earth depends. Factor in population growth, mass migration, and escalating terrorist threats, and you have a dangerously unstable situation. Despite the protestations of puppet politicians, elite economists, and utopian scientists, no amount of wishful thinking, money printing or shiny new technology will ride to the rescue. The Prius of our dreams is heading straight for the brick wall of reality, and the current convulsions such as the Brexit referendum in the UK, the impending implosion of the European Union, and the election of Donald Trump as US President are but the latest wave of woes crashing on the shore of a fantasy future we fashioned for ourselves in a brief moment of gas guzzling madness. Under the illusion of invincibility we still tell ourselves that ‘this time it’s different’ but as we shall soon discover, forces far beyond our control have other ideas. In his most uncompromising work to date, John Michael Greer maps possible futures for America during the hard times ahead and it’s clear that before things get better, they’re going to get a lot worse.

Ep 563LF204 James Hoggan – I’m Right and You’re an Idiot

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Jim Hoggan discusses his book I’m Right and You’re an Idiot – The Toxic State of Public Discourse and How to Clean it Up. Today, we are ‘sick of politics’, weary of personal attacks taking the place of real debate, and numb to the lies of those in power because ‘everyone’s doing it’. From politics to so-called entertainment, everything seems to be about conflict and confrontation. We appear addicted to negativity. It is said that we are living in a ‘post-truth’ era where facts don’t matter and the line between real and fake news is steadily dissolving. Infantilization and political correctness stifle critical thought and even our fundamental ability to reason. The very meaning of words has become fluid and language limited in an Orwellian pincer movement. Cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias keep us trapped in bubbles of wishful thinking, unable to face or even acknowledge the converging crises facing the world in the early part of the 21st Century. We suffer from information overload and yet millions are poorly informed. Worse still, this dumbing down looks deliberate. But if indeed it is being orchestrated, who – or what – is doing it, and why? www.imrightandyoureanidiot.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’

Ep 562LF202 Anthony Peake – Opening the Doors of Perception: The Key to Cosmic Awareness.

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Considering the irreducible complexity of the human brain and the sense we often have of our bodies feeling more like part of the external world – a vehicle or conduit if you will – while our inner selves, our consciousness appears to reside ‘elsewhere’, we ask: Is mind within matter or matter within mind? What and where is consciousness? Is it merely an epiphenomenon of the brain, or is it the origin of all that is? We consider altered states of consciousness, including so-called mental illness, and ask what purpose, if any, they might ultimately serve. Under certain circumstances, such altered states seem to offer glimpses of a much wider reality beyond that normally perceived by our five senses. Building on the ideas of Aldous Huxley and his Doors of Perception, we ponder notions such as past lives, reincarnation, the collective unconscious, and what happens to our world if indeed time, space, and matter are not fundamental. Do we then exist in an unimaginably vast computer simulation? Are we simply avatars in a cosmic computer game? And if so, then who – or what – is in control? Maybe you have a sense of something else – something long forgotten, only now half remembered… Are these clues left here for us to find in time? Or merely glitches in the matrix of our own minds? www.anthonypeake.com Previous interviews with Anthony Peake: The Infinite Mindfield The Labyrinth of Time Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Cwtch ‘Cwtch 1’ Havdis ‘The Strange Sighting at Søftan’

Ep 561LF201 Thomas Sheridan – The Druid Code: Magic, Megaliths and Mythology Part Two

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE The Druid Code sets out to examine the wider concept of magic and mythology being utilised as an early form of social psychoanalysis by the druids, how magic theory developed from this, and how this evolution of ritual magic eventually made its way into folklore, witchcraft and Freemasonry. From the proto-shamanic world of the megalith builders, to lost civilisations of the Atlantic fringe, along with the continual changes and challenges to the human experience in the face of traumatic cultural upheaval, the druids and their legacy have played a far more influential role than has been previously acknowledged. The Druid Code utilises mythology connected to sacred sites, developing a bidirectional conduit back through time, to reveal what took place in 2500BC – a shift in human consciousness that made humans what we are today. Issues discussed include: The decline of Christianity in Europe. The universal myths and legends of global disasters in the ancient past, and the lost Golden Age. The nature of our ancestors’ consciousness and how it differed from ours. Resistance to evidence which dates ancient sites as much older than currently accepted. Transhumanism, technocracy, and the struggle to shape the future. More ancient, less primitive: Will rejection of science as the only way to understand reality birth a new era of magical, mythical human consciousness? From Atlantis to alchemy, you will never see history in the same way again.

The power of symbolism to preserve and transmit archetypal ideas down the ages. Do the stones of sacred megalithic sites possess special electromagnetic properties? Does stone have a memory? The effects of modern architecture on the human psyche. Can radio waves and others beyond the spectrum of our five senses allow access to a spirit world?

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Bernardo Kastrup discusses his book More Than Allegory – On Religious Myth, Truth, and Belief. This is a two part interview. Part one is here. As a journey into the rabbit hole we call reality, the ultimate destination of More Than Allegory is a plausible, living validation of transcendence. It puts forward the controversial notion that many religious myths are actually true, argues that our own inner storytelling plays a surprising role in creating the seeming concreteness of things and the tangibility of history, and suggests, in the form of a myth, how deeply ingrained belief systems create the world we live in. In a Universe seemingly devoid of meaning and purpose where matter is all that matters, our souls are at war with our intellects, and the consequences for life on Earth may yet prove disastrous. Maybe it is time for us to remember who we really are – both magician and audience, dreamer and dream, from a realm beyond language where time and space are illusions, and the very nature of truth itself may not be what it seems.

From 1971 to 1977 Peter Baumann was part of what many consider to be the definitive line-up of German electronic music pioneers Tangerine Dream, contributing to classic albums such as Phaedra, Rubycon, and Ricochet. Although he continued to record for several years thereafter, much of his subsequent activity has revolved around socio-political realms. Since the early 2000s, Peter has devoted much of his time to studying and promoting initiatives in science and philosophy that shed light on the human condition. This has included work with the California Institute of Integral Studies, the Mind and Life Institute, and his own Baumann Foundation. In 2011 he co-authored the book Ego: The Fall of the Twin Towers and the Rise of an Enlightened Humanity, before finally returning to music in 2016 with Machines of Desire, his first full album since 1983. http://www.beinghuman.org/ Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Peter Baumann ‘Machines of Desire’

Part one is here. Part one probes the identity of the shooters, while part two examines who or what was behind the plot, and their possible motivation. The assassination of US president John F. Kennedy on November 22nd, 1963 remains one of the most controversial events in world history.

Indeed, along with the Apollo moon missions and the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the JFK assassination has been the popular subject of numerous so-called ‘conspiracy theories’ as everyone from serious researchers to outright cranks formulate their own version of the fateful day’s events. Having previously used their skills to probe deeper into mysteries such as the existence of extraterrestrial life, the legendary island of Atlantis, and the aforementioned 9/11 attacks, Farsight’s remote viewers now turn their attention to JFK’s violent demise.

Ep 554LF163 Bryan Hubbard – The Untrue Story of You

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Bryan Hubbard discusses his book The Untrue Story of You. You are the central player in the drama of your life, and sometimes it all becomes too much and you get angry, depressed, anxious, irritated, have mood swings, or suffer from addictions. And because you’re the central player, you try to do something about these negative behaviour patterns. Maybe you do inner work, or seek therapy or counselling, or even lust after yet more material possessions, in the desperate hope that they will paper over the cracks in your soul. Some attempt to become more ‘spiritual’, to find a guru in a quest to become enlightened. And when you do any or all of these things, everyone else goes along with the idea that you’re the central player who can control or change your behavior. But this is the greatest illusion of all time. Bryan Hubbard discovered this for himself after suffering from chronic depression for more than a decade. Eventually he arrived at the question: who is depressed? And when he looked and looked, there was nobody there. Instead, there was a body lived through by thoughts and emotions, that all bubble up from the experiences of the past. The thought thinks the thinker, and when you come to realize this amazing truth, you can let go of the past, forget the future, and finally come alive in the only time we ever have – the present moment. www.bryanhubbard.net www.wddty.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Tangerine Dream ‘Exit’

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Randy Rogers discusses his book The Key of Life – A Metaphysical Investigation. In just about everyone’s life, there comes a time when they may question their reason for existing. For Randy Rogers that journey began one day in June of 1995, as he began a metaphysical quest along a cryptic path that at times caused him to question his own sanity. The emotional ride that developed threatened to tear apart everything he had worked so hard to accomplish, and the only thing sustaining him was an undying belief that events would unfold to prove that he was on the right course. It’s a true story, about who we are, why we are here and how we are all connected; a tale of past lives, present circumstances, synchronicity, and reincarnation. It may inspire you to interpret the synchronicities in your own life, experience the extraordinary, and unlock the meaning of life – past, present, and future. www.randolphrogers.com www.thekeyoflife.net Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Klaus Schulze ‘Velvet Voyage’

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Bonny Casel discusses plant consciousness and the quantum realm. Research has revealed that plants see, hear, smell, feel and communicate in profound ways but yet mainstream science refuses to acknowledge that plants are conscious life forms, mainly because they do not have a recognizable brain. However, humans evolved within the vibrational field of plants for millions of years; a vibrational field predominantly arising from plant consciousness. Quantum theory provides a meaningful understanding of how the many perfected qualities of consciousness, represented vibrationally in the plant world, provide healing on physical, emotional, mental and intuitive levels through vibrational entrainment and emergent behaviors. This wide ranging talk also takes in the role of plants in human evolution, the pharmaceutical industry and its demonization of natural healthcare, the GMO agenda, and our deep disconnect with nature and where it is leading us individually and as a species. www.herenowhealing.com www.plantconsciousness.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Jean Michel Jarre & Tangerine Dream ‘Zero Gravity’

To some, the nebulous use of ‘awakening’ in New Age circles and the non-event that was 2012 have rendered the word almost meaningless. Beyond all this, however, it can represent something real. Many people are currently undergoing a shift in perspective that can affect everything from their personal lives to their entire worldview. Although often confusing and even traumatic, this shift can allow us to set aside the distractions and ephemera of everyday existence, ease the stress and strain of the lives society insists we should be living, and open up a space in which we can come to truly know ourselves.

Ep 549LF165 Tom Campbell – Life, the Universe and Everything: Part Five

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Tom Campbell discusses his book My Big TOE. Part one here. Part two here. Part three here. Part four here. As well as continuing the themes from the first four parts, in this episode we consider human nature, our collective culture and what lies ahead of us in the future. While it appears that human consciousness has an inbuilt capacity for fear, its origins in the fight or fight mechanism have for millennia been supplanted by an irrational tendency towards a reflexive terror of the unknown – fear by default. Such fear is simply debilitating, and has been further mutated over time into fear of each other and even ourselves. As we race headlong into a still-new millennium brimming with uncertainty, instability and converging crises, our challenge is to transcend our outdated paradigms and change our systems as we change ourselves. Even as the realms of energy, economy and environment erupt and explode, we can recognize that cosmically, we are but children, and that we have the capacity to mature and make better decisions. Existential questions remain: are we alone, the most interesting item in the universe, the rest just lights in the sky? The answers to such questions become questions once more, and the answers return us to the riddles of the ages. In the end, however, there is a purpose to our existence – to learn, to evolve, to become more, to love, and to let go of fear. My Big TOE is about life, purpose, personal significance, physics, evolution, and the reason why. The acronym TOE is a standard term in the physics community that stands for Theory Of Everything. Such a theory has been the Holy Grail of physicists for more than fifty years. My Big TOE delivers the solution to that scientific quest at the layman’s level with precision and clarity. It unifies science and philosophy, physics and metaphysics, mind and matter, purpose and meaning, the normal and the paranormal. The entirety of human experience (mind, body, and spirit) including both our objective and subjective worlds, are brought together under one seamless scientific understanding. If you have a logical, open, and inquisitive mind – an attitude of scientific pragmatism that appreciates the elegance of fundamental truth and the thrill of breakthrough – you will enjoy this journey of personal and scientific discovery. www.my-big-toe.com www.mbtevents.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Tangerine Dream ‘Ricochet’

In the final analysis – if indeed any analysis can be deemed final – perhaps the road to other realms and the far reaches of the Universe begins within the maze of our own minds. Our endless quest to seek out extraterrestrial life – simultaneously hopeful and hopeless – may also begin and end within. But if indeed there is not one but many universes, then our place in whatever reality may or may not be becomes cast in a stark new light.

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Tom Campbell discusses his book My Big TOE. Part one of this interview is here. In this episode we delve into unseen realms, the nature of existence, the origin of the Universe, and that which lies beyond. Was the Big Bang real and if so, what lay behind it? Has something bigger than the Big Bang always existed? If not, can nothing exist? If nothing real can be truly infinite, where does infinity end? Are the ultimate origins of time and space themselves non-physical? Is our reality virtual, our Universe a simulation? In asking these questions, the limits of human knowledge are also probed. Simply put, we can never know what we do not know’¦ My Big TOE is about life, purpose, personal significance, physics, evolution, and the reason why. The acronym TOE is a standard term in the physics community that stands for Theory Of Everything. Such a theory has been the Holy Grail of physicists for more than fifty years. My Big TOE delivers the solution to that scientific quest at the layman’s level with precision and clarity. It unifies science and philosophy, physics and metaphysics, mind and matter, purpose and meaning, the normal and the paranormal. The entirety of human experience (mind, body, and spirit) including both our objective and subjective worlds, are brought together under one seamless scientific understanding. If you have a logical, open, and inquisitive mind – an attitude of scientific pragmatism that appreciates the elegance of fundamental truth and the thrill of breakthrough – you will enjoy this journey of personal and scientific discovery. www.my-big-toe.com www.mbtevents.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Thanet ‘Submit IQ’ Tangerine Dream ‘Tangram’

It’s not only about scientific theory, function, process, and discovery – but also speaks to each individual reader about their innate capabilities. Readers will learn to appreciate that their human potential stretches far beyond the limitations of the physical universe. This trilogy delivers the next major scientific conceptual breakthrough since relativity and quantum mechanics raised scientific eyebrows in the first half of the twentieth century. No catch, no megalomania, no hypothetical wackiness, no goofy beliefs, no unusual assumptions – just straightforward science that better describes the totality of our experience and provides a wealth of practical results and new understanding that can be applied personally and professionally by scientists and non-scientists alike. www.my-big-toe.com www.mbtevents.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Jarkko – Legalise Freedom Remix

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Courtney Brown discusses The Farsight Institute’s latest project Aliens On Iapetus. This remote viewing documentary focuses on what appears to be a huge set of structures on the surface of Iapetus, a moon of Saturn. The apparent structures are clearly visible in a photograph that was taken by the Cassini space probe that still orbits Saturn. We now know what these things are, who built them, and why. We also know what happened to those who stayed there, and how they died. This was not a military outpost, not a spy base, nor an industrial or mining location. It is actually more amazing than anything anyone could have imagined. The project’s findings also pose some fascinating questions: How similar were the beings on Iapetus to ourselves, and can their story teach us anything about our own past and possible future? Could it be that life in the solar system did not begin on Earth but on other planets long cold and dead or even completely destroyed? And does our selective blindness to the cosmic catastrophes of high antiquity obscure terrible truths now all but lost in the mists of time? Cutting edge physics and emerging research into psychic phenomena may just offer some answers. www.farsight.org Previous interviews with Courtney Brown: Remote Viewing, Consciousness and Reality Atlantis: The True Story The Mystery of the Great Pyramid Solved 9/11: What Really Happened?

Ep 541LF140 Richard Heinberg – Afterburn: Society Beyond Fossil Fuels

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Richard Heinberg discusses his latest book Afterburn: Society Beyond Fossil Fuels. Climate change, along with the depletion of oil, coal, and gas, dictate that we will inevitably move away from our profound societal reliance on fossil fuels. But just how big a transformation will this be? While many policy makers assume that renewable energy sources will provide a relatively painless solution, Heinberg suggests instead that we are in for a wild ride; a civilization reboot on a scale similar to the agricultural and industrial revolutions. Afterburn consists of fifteen essays exploring various aspects of the twenty-first century migration away from fossil fuels including short-term political and economic factors that impede broad-scale, organized efforts to adapt, the origin of longer-term trends – such as consumerism – that have created a way of life that seems normal to most, but is actually unprecedented, highly fragile, and unsustainable, and potential opportunities and sources of conflict that are likely to emerge. From the inevitability and desirability of more locally organized economies to the urgent need to preserve our recent cultural achievements and the futility of pursuing economic growth above all, Afterburn offers cutting-edge perspectives and insights that challenge conventional thinking about our present, our future, and the momentous choices that we currently face. www.richardheinberg.com www.postcarbon.org Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Cyberchump ‘The Long Goodbye’

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Rick Strassman discusses his book DMT and the Soul of Prophecy – A New Science of Spiritual Revelation in the Hebrew Bible After completing his groundbreaking research chronicled in DMT – The Spirit Molecule, Strassman was left with one fundamental question: What does it mean that DMT, a simple chemical naturally found in all our bodies, instantaneously opens us to an interactive spirit world that feels more real than our own world? When his decades of clinical psychiatric research and Buddhist practice were unable to provide answers to this question, Strassman began searching for a more resonant spiritual model. He found that the visions of the Hebrew prophets such as Ezekiel, Moses, Adam, and Daniel were strikingly similar to those of the volunteers in his DMT studies. Carefully examining the concept of prophecy in the Hebrew Bible, he characterizes a ‘prophetic state of consciousness’ and explains how it may share biological and metaphysical mechanisms with the DMT effect. Examining medieval commentaries on the Hebrew Bible, Strassman reveals how Jewish metaphysics provides a top-down model for both the prophetic and DMT states, a model he calls theoneurology. Theoneurology bridges biology and spirituality by proposing that the Divine communicates with us using the brain, and DMT – whether naturally produced or ingested – is a critical factor in such visionary experience. This model provides a counterpoint to neurotheology, which proposes that altered brain function simply generates the impression of a Divine-human encounter. Theoneurology addresses issues critical to the full flowering of the psychedelic drug experience. Perhaps even more important, it points the way to a renewal of classical prophetic consciousness, the soul of Hebrew Bible prophecy, as well as unexpected directions for the evolution of contemporary spiritual practice. www.rickstrassman.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Pink Floyd ‘Echoes’

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE John Michael Greer discusses his latest book After Progress: Reason and Religion at the End of the Industrial Age. Progress is not just a goal in the West – it’s a religion. Most people believe in its inherent value as enthusiastically and uncritically as medieval peasants believed in heaven and hell. Our faith in progress drives the popular insistence that peak oil and climate change don’t actually matter. After all, our lab-coated high priests will surely bring forth yet another miracle to save us all. Unfortunately, progress as we’ve known it has been entirely dependent on the breakneck exploitation of half a billion years of stored sunlight in the form of fossil fuels. As the age of cheap, abundant energy draws to a close, progress is grinding to a halt. Unforgiving planetary limits are teaching us that our blind faith in endless exponential growth is a dangerous myth. After Progress addresses this looming paradigm shift, exploring the shape of history from a perspective on the far side of the coming crisis. Greer’s startling examination of the role our belief systems play in the evolution of our collective consciousness is required reading for anyone concerned about making sense of the future at a time when we must seek new sources of meaning, value, and hope for the era ahead.

The data collected during the project suggests that long ago, a civilization existed on Mars. This civilization built something in a place now known as Cydonia. Many on Earth speculated that it appeared to be a ‘face’ looking upward, but it’s something else. The Farsight project suggests that it was a place where people congregated and lived; a city of Martians who were more like us on Earth than most would imagine. Combining two of the most skilled remote viewers currently on the planet, using U.S. military derived methodologies for perceiving across time and space, and working within a scientifically clean and totally blind experimental design, the Farsight project describes how Martians lived, and how they died. The science of remote viewing has matured to the extent that a project such as this has finally been achievable, but no one could have expected the results to be as shocking as what was actually revealed by the new data. And there are lessons here that our own civilization can learn should we wish to avoid the terrible fate that befell the denizens of Mars. www.farsight.org Previous interviews with Courtney Brown: Remote Viewing, Consciousness and Reality Atlantis: The True Story The Mystery of the Great Pyramid Solved 9/11: What Really Happened?

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Simon G. Powell discusses his book Magic Mushroom Explorer: Psilocybin and the Awakening Earth. We apologize for the sound quality during the first three minutes of the main interview. Psilocybin, the active ingredient found in psychedelic mushrooms, is an invaluable natural resource for spiritually awakening the human psyche and reconnecting us to the biosphere and the vast intelligence of Nature. Interweaving the most recent scientific studies in the United States and Britain, more than 25 years of sacred mushroom exploration, and behind-the-scenes details on the political wars against psychedelics, Powell offers a guide to safely navigating and maximizing the healing and spiritual potential of psilocybin. He explores the eco-psychological effects of wild psychedelic mushrooms, including enhanced biophilia, expanded awareness, mystical visions, and eco-shamanic encounters. He reveals how the beings and otherworldly teachers common in psilocybin experiences are actually emissaries from our higher consciousness that emerge when the floodgates of perception have been opened. He shares vivid descriptions from many of his own psilocybin journeys and shows how the mushroom offers a path of return to the ancient wisdom binding all life on Earth, a wisdom conveyed through tutorial visions and higher modes of perception. Illustrating psilocybin’s healthful properties, now acknowledged by mainstream science, Powell describes his activism in the fight to keep psilocybin mushroom use legal in the UK and shows that an irrational rejection of scientific evidence underlies the harsh war against psychedelic states of consciousness. Laying the groundwork for a new relationship with our biosphere, Powell shows how the Earth’s psychedelic medicines can reconnect us to the spirituality and wisdom of Nature and bring the human race back from the brink of ecological and existential disaster. www.simongpowell.com Simon’s documentaries Metanoia and Manna Previous interview with Simon G.

Ep 533LF130 Randall S. Powers & Steven Konkoly – Practical Prepping: No Apocalypse Required

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Randall S. Powers and Steven Konkoly discuss their book Practical Prepping: No Apocalypse Required. Prepping – or preparedness – is simply about taking steps in your own life which could potentially be of great benefit in the event of a crisis or disaster situation. It has, however, become embroiled with the popular clichés of survivalism and images of groups or individuals holed up in armed redoubts with a million cans of beans and enough weapons to start a war. Back in the real world, beyond popular post-apocalyptic fantasies, there are many often more mundane events which have the potential to seriously disrupt our daily lives. Terrorism, economic meltdown, natural disasters and pandemics such as Ebola and avian flu regularly hit the headlines. But even something as simple as a prolonged power outage or severe winter freeze can – and has – left thousands of citizens on the back foot with inadequate supplies of food, water and other essentials with which to ride out such an emergency. The aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy stand as stark examples of government failure in disaster management. They’re not the first and they certainly won’t be the last. Taken in tandem with the potentially fatal interconnectedness of our modern industrial systems and widespread public ignorance about the fragility of the infrastructure which makes our comfortable lives of consumption possible, a picture emerges in which we would all do well to do some serious thinking about how we and our families could cope should the worst happen. Practical Prepping: No Apocalypse Required isn’t a book about ditching the suburbs for a heavily defended, self-sufficient compound in the mountains. It explores practical first steps that you can take to prepare for the disasters you are most likely to experience. The book offers a layered, foundational approach that can be tailored to your circumstances and motivation level. You’ll be surprised by how little time, effort and hard-earned cash you’ll need to put into Practical Prepping. www.stevenkonkoly.com www.practicaltactical4you.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ John Carpenter ‘Escape From New York’ OST

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Peter Jones discusses some of the issues raised in his book Artificers of Fraud. Wilhelm Reich (1897 – 1957) was an Austrian psychoanalyst, a member of the second generation of psychoanalysts after Sigmund Freud, and one of the most radical figures in the history of psychiatry. He was the author of several influential books, most notably Character Analysis (1933) and The Mass Psychology of Fascism (1933). His writing influenced generations of intellectuals and during the 1968 student uprisings in Paris and Berlin, students scrawled his name on walls and threw copies of The Mass Psychology of Fascism at the police. From the 1930s onward, he became an increasingly controversial figure. After moving to the United States, he coined the term ‘orgone’ for a cosmic energy he claimed to have discovered, which he said others referred to as God. In 1940, he started building orgone accumulators, devices that his patients sat inside to harness the reputed health benefits. However, following vociferous media criticism, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration obtained an injunction against the shipment of orgone accumulators and Reich’s books. Charged with contempt in 1956 for having violated the injunction, Reich was sentenced to two years in prison, and that summer over six tons of his publications were burned by order of the court. He died in jail of heart failure just over a year later. Reich’s case is both bizarre and disturbing, but it speaks to a situation still prevalent today, in which scientists and researchers beyond the margins of mainstream academia are routinely derided, ridiculed, and in some cases, ruined. In the name of intellectual rigour, a new religion – Scientism – has been born. www.orgonomyuk.org.uk www.wilhelmreichtrust.org www.orgonomicscience.org www.orgonelab.org Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Thanet ‘Sky Science’

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Monetary reform activist Bill Still discusses his latest documentary Jekyll Island: The Truth Behind the Federal Reserve. What’s the real problem with the world economy? It’s debt. Too much personal debt, too much corporate debt and – most importantly – too much government debt. People have a natural tendency to want to spend now and pay later, and governments are no different. The problem is that government money mostly comes from just two sources; taxation and borrowing. Governments can either raise taxes to cover their reckless spending, or borrow from private banks and continue to kick the financial can down the road. Unfortunately, the vast sums governments owe to these private, for-profit banks continually attracts interest, and this mathematically un-payable debt is now strangling the life out of the economy of every nation on Earth. But crucially, it’s not just the sheer volume of interest paid to the banks, it’s the control over the political process this debt gives the banks. We can never fix the instability in the world economic system until we forbid government borrowing. Economic instability favours banks and speculators, whereas economic stability favours the people. If banks control the creation of money, there is no way there will ever be a stable economic system. The good news is that it doesn’t have to be this way. Banks don’t need to be in control. Governments don’t need to borrow. Governments don’t need a national debt. www.billstill.com Bill Still on Youtube Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’

The talk also touches on psychology, politics, science, spirituality, materialism, quantum physics, social conformity, limits to human understanding, and the quest for meaning and purpose in life. This is a two part interview. Part one is here. Gnostic poet, painter, writer, and magician Aleister Crowley arrived in Berlin on April 18, 1930. As prophet of his syncretic religion Thelema, he wanted to be among the leaders of art and thought, and Berlin, the liberated future-gazing metropolis, wanted him. There he would live, until his hurried departure on June 22, 1932, as Hitler was rapidly rising to power and the black curtain of intolerance came down upon the city. Known to his friends affectionately as ‘The Beast’, Crowley saw the closing lights of Berlin’s artistic renaissance of the Weimar period when Berlin played host to many of the world’s most outstanding artists, writers, filmmakers, performers, composers, architects, philosophers, and many other luminaries of a glittering world soon to be trampled into the mud by the global bloodbath of World War II. Drawing on previously unpublished letters and diary material by Crowley, Churton examines Crowley’s years in Berlin and his intense focus on his art, his work as a spy for British Intelligence, his colorful love life and sex magick exploits, and his contacts with German Theosophy, Freemasonry, and magical orders. He recounts the fates of Crowley’s colleagues under the Nazis as well as what happened to Crowley’s lost art exhibition – six crates of paintings left behind in Germany as the Gestapo was closing in. Revealing the real Crowley long hidden from the historical record, Churton presents ‘the Beast’ anew in all his ambiguous and, for some, terrifying glory, at a blazing, seminal moment in the history of the world. www.tobiaschurton.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Vangelis ‘1492 – Conquest of Paradise’

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE David Fridley of the Post Carbon Institute discusses renewable energy technology and the future of industrial civilization. In the face of depleting fossil fuel reserves, renewable energy sources are held up as the best hope for clean, green and truly sustainable future societies. Upon closer investigation, however, solar, wind and hydro-power are much more limited in scope than we like to believe, making business-as-usual in the coming decades impossible using renewables alone. Renewable technologies deliver much less surplus energy than conventional means, and the tendency to construct installations such as solar arrays and wind farms on a massive scale is a symptom of outmoded thinking with many unintended side-effects. Even if it were possible to convert the world to renewables, the effort in itself would burn through massive quantities of fossil fuels with potentially disastrous results. Biofuels, fracking and nuclear power also come with their own lists of drawbacks and disadvantages. From food price spikes and environmental degradation to the seemingly-insoluble problem of storing and processing spent nuclear fuel, future reliance on any or all of these seems totally unrealistic. Meanwhile, major breakthroughs in more exotic technologies such as thorium and hydrogen always seem to just around the corner and have yet to arrive on a genuinely large scale. But as we face a future in which we have less and do less, and the creed of endless economic growth finally crumbles, the prospect of a fairer and happier world may move just a little closer. www.postcarbon.org www.china.lbl.gov Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Klaus Schulze ‘Schwanensee II’

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Dominic Frisby discusses his book Bitcoin: The Future of Money? In 2008, while the world was busy panicking about the global financial crisis, a computer programmer called Satoshi Nakamoto posted a message on an obscure mailing list. ‘I’ve been working on a new electronic cash system’, he said. ‘It might make sense to get some just in case it catches on.’ Nobody seemed to care. But what he had created would become the world’s most famous alternative currency: Bitcoin. Economists, anarchists, speculators, computer coders, libertarians, entrepreneurs and criminals worldwide were inspired. Early adopters would make a return two million times larger than their initial investment. Now it seems that Bitcoin will do to banking and finance what email did to the postal service and what the Internet did to publishing: destroy old monopolies and create opportunities for the masses.

Ep 525LF114 James Penner – Timothy Leary: The Harvard Years

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE James Penner discusses his book Timothy Leary – The Harvard Years: Early Writings on LSD and Psilocybin. On May 27, 1963, Dr. Timothy Leary and Dr. Richard Alpert were dismissed from Harvard University’s Psychology Department – a watershed event marking the moment when psychedelic drugs were publicly demonized and driven underground. Today, little is known about the period in the early 1960s when LSD and psilocybin were not only legal but also actively researched at universities. Presenting the first collection of Leary’s writings devoted entirely to the research phase of his career, 1960 to 1965, Timothy Leary – The Harvard Years offers rare articles from Leary’s time as a professor in Harvard’s Psychology Department, including writings from the Harvard Psilocybin Project, the Concord Prison Project, and the Good Friday Experiment. These essays – coauthored with Richard Alpert, Huston Smith, Ralph Metzner, and other psychedelic research visionaries – explore the nature of creativity and the therapeutic, spiritual, and religious aspects of psilocybin and LSD. Featuring Leary’s scientific articles and a rare account of his therapeutic approach On Existential Transaction Theory, the book also includes Leary’s final essay from his time at Harvard – The Politics of Consciousness – as well as controversial articles published shortly after his dismissal. This collection of seminal early writings by Leary shows why he quickly became an articulate spokesperson for consciousness expansion and an iconic figure for the counter-culture generation that came of age in the 1960s.

Ep 524LF113 Bernardo Kastrup – Why Materialism is Baloney

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Bernardo Kastrup discusses his book Why Materialism Is Baloney: How true skeptics know there is no death and fathom answers to life, the universe, and everything. What is consciousness? What is reality? Does mind arise from the universe or the universe from mind? The present framing of the cultural debate in terms of materialism versus religion has allowed materialism to go unchallenged as the only rationally-viable metaphysics. Why Materialism Is Baloney seeks to change this. It uncovers the absurd implications of materialism and then presents a hard-nosed non-materialist metaphysics substantiated by skepticism, empirical evidence, and clear logical reasoning. It lays out a coherent framework upon which one can interpret and make sense of every natural phenomenon and physical law, as well as the modalities of human consciousness, without materialist assumptions. According to this framework, the brain is merely the image of a self-localization process of mind, similar to how a whirlpool is the image of a self-localization process of water. The brain doesn’t generate mind in the same way that a whirlpool doesn’t generate water. It is the brain that is in mind, not mind in the brain, and therefore physical death is merely a dispersion of awareness. The implications of this wider reality for our notions of human life, purpose and meaning are immense. www.bernardokastrup.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Jean Michel Jarre ‘Chronologie’

Listeners unfamiliar with remote viewing may wish to listen to an introductory interview which can be found here. This is a two part interview. Part one is here. The 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C. in the year 2001 were arguably the most shocking and audacious events to happen so far this century. There are many unexplained anomalies associated with these attacks. The number and nature of the anomalies have led a significant and growing number of people to question the official explanation of these events as simply the actions of a small band of terrorists known as al-Qaeda led by Osama bin Laden. This investigation takes a fresh look at 9/11 using remote-viewing methods that were originally developed by the U.S. military and used for espionage purposes. The results are both deeply disturbing and highly controversial. www.farsight.org Previous interviews with Courtney Brown: Remote Viewing, Consciousness and Reality Atlantis: The True Story The Mystery of the Great Pyramid Solved Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Tangerine Dream ‘Remote Viewing’

Ep 521LF449 Colin E. Davis – Living in The Movie: Victims of The Mind Virus

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Colin E. Davis and Greg Moffitt in conversation. If life sometimes seems like a movie, are you an actor, a director, or an extra? Increasingly, cutting edge science is aligning with ancient wisdom to suggest that this reality is indeed a malleable fabric that each of us has the power to manipulate. The mainstream view is, of course, that we are merely passengers on a brief ride through a hostile universe devoid of meaning and purpose. However, the longer we remain in denial of our own power, individually and collectively, the harder it will be to deal with the converging crises now threatening the very existence of our species. The first quarter of the 21st Century has simply seeded even more virulent strains of mind virus, accelerating our course on a path to self-destruction. Most people now on the Earth are not and never will be able to take the leap of the psyche that real change requires. The good news is that we don’t need everyone to do so.
