Ep 520LF108 Lewis Dartnell – How to Rebuild Our World from Scratch

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Lewis Dartnell discusses his book The Knowledge – How to Rebuild our World from Scratch. Maybe it was a viral pandemic, or an asteroid strike, or perhaps nuclear war. Whatever the cause, the world as we know it has ended and you and the other survivors must start again. What key knowledge would you need to start rebuilding civilisation from scratch? Once you’ve scavenged what you can, how do you begin producing the essentials? How do you grow food, generate power, prepare medicines, or get metal out of rocks? Could you avert another dark age or take shortcuts to accelerate redevelopment? Living in the modern world, we have become disconnected from the basic processes that support our lives, as well as the fundamentals of science that enable us to relearn things for ourselves. The Knowledge is a journey of discovery, a book which explains everything you need to know about everything. It’s a quick start guide for rebooting civilisation which will transform your understanding of the world – and help you prepare for when it’s no longer here. www.the-knowledge.org www.lewisdartnell.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’

Ep 519LF106 Nick Duffell - Wounded Leaders: British Elitism and the Entitlement Illusion

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Nick Duffell discusses his book Wounded Leaders: British Elitism and the Entitlement Illusion. In an age when America elected its first black president and the Middle East stirred with popular uprising, Britons were again content to elect the products of their elitist Public Schools. But, their grooming for power aside, does such an education produce excellence – or expertise in self-deception and duplicity? The early 21st Century gives us some clues. Tony Blair maintained his façade of inner conviction but lost the nation through blind allegiance to the Establishment. David Cameron let his boyish mask of caring sincerity slip to reveal a bully’s attitude beneath his meritocratic pretence. A bicycle in Downing Street highlighted a deep-seated problem in Britain: a divided society caught in the enduring trance of the Entitlement Illusion. Duffell argues that the British national obsession with sending the children of the well-heeled away to school has a major impact on our society, our institutions and our attitudes. He proposes that a cherished national character ideal, eschewing vulnerability and practising a normalised covert hostility based on bullying in the dorm adversely affects even those who did not have such an education. This specific culture of elitism, protected by financial interests and the ”’It never did me any harm’ syndrome, means that Britain is unlikely to foster the kind of leadership necessary in our world of increasing complexity, which needs cooperative global solutions. But worse, new scientific evidence shows that this hyper-rational training leaves its devotees trapped within the confines of an inflexible mind, beset with functional defects. Through the lens of the British case, Duffell presents a perspective on the universal defects of untempered rationality and proposes a revised model of leadership more fit for the uncertain future our world faces. www.woundedleaders.co.uk www.boardingschoolsurvivors.co.uk The Making of Them documentary Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Pink Floyd ‘The Wall’

Ep 518LF 104 Scott Alan Roberts – The Secret History of the Reptilians

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Scott Alan Roberts discusses his book The Secret History of the Reptilians: The Pervasive Presence of the Serpent in Human History, Religion and Alien Mythos. The very real probability that non-human intelligences visited and even copulated with primordial humans is detailed in civilization’s most ancient cultural and religious records. These historical records further reveal that these intelligences were reptilian in nature or, at the very least, have been represented throughout human history in reptilian form. From the serpent Nachash in the Garden of Eden, Atum the Egyptian snake-man, and Quetzalcotl, the feathered serpent god of the Mayans, to the double-helix snake symbol of Enki in ancient Sumerian literature, the serpent has been the omnipresent link between humans and the gods in every culture. Did a race of reptilians come to this planet long ago? Did extraterrestrials seed the human race or genetically engineer primordial hominids, creating a slave race? Were humans freed from bondage, led by a traitor from within the ranks of the alien oppressors? Is there an extraterrestrial race that has shifted in and out of human affairs for all of recorded history, governing our destiny from the shadows? Or are we bound by religious thought and man-made myth, only to suffer in its invisible grasp until we move beyond the need for false gods, devils and monsters that subjugate us to our own fears? www.scottalanroberts.com www.intrepidmag.com www.paradigmsymposium.com www.exodusreality.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Peter Howell ‘The Horns of Nimon’

Ep 517LF96 Steven Poole – Unspeak: Words Are Weapons

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Steven Poole discusses his book Unspeak – Words Are Weapons. Unspeak is language as a weapon. Every day, we are bombarded with those apparently simple words and phrases that actually conceal darker meanings. ‘Climate change’ is less threatening than ‘global warming’; we say ‘ethnic cleansing’ when we mean mass murder. As we absorb and repeat Unspeak we are accepting the messages that politicians, corporations and the military wish us to believe. Operation Iraqi Freedom did more than put a positive spin on the American war with Iraq; it gave the invasion such a likeable name that the American news networks quickly adopted it as their tagline for reporting on the war. By repackaging the language we use to describe international affairs and domestic politics, Unspeak tries to make controversial issues unspeakable and, therefore, unquestionable. From culture wars to the culture of war, everyday words are changing the way we think. www.unspeak.net www.unspeak.tv www.stevenpoole.net Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ John Carpenter ‘Escape From New York’ OST

Ep 516LF93 Paul Kivel – Living in the Shadow of the Cross

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Paul Kivel on Living in the Shadow of the Cross – Understanding and Resisting the Power and Privilege of Christian Hegemony. Over the centuries, Christianity has accomplished much which is deserving of praise. Its institutions have fed the hungry, sheltered the homeless, and advocated for the poor. Christian faith has sustained people through crisis and inspired many to work for social justice. Yet, although the word ‘Christian’ evokes the epitome of goodness, the actual story is much more complex. Over the last two millennia, ruling elites have used Christian institutions and values to control those less privileged throughout the world. The doctrine of Christianity has been interpreted to justify the killing of millions, and its leaders have used their faith to sanction participation in colonialism, slavery, and genocide. In the Western world, Christian influence has inspired legislators to continue to limit women’s reproductive rights, and kept lesbians and gays on the margins of society. As our triple crises of war, financial meltdown, and environmental destruction intensify, it is imperative that we dig beneath the surface of Christianity’s benign reputation to examine its contribution to our social problems. Living in the Shadow of the Cross reveals the ongoing, everyday impact of Christian power and privilege on our beliefs, behaviors, and public policy, and emphasizes the potential for people to come together to resist domination and build and sustain communities of justice and peace. www.christianhegemony.org www.paulkivel.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Vangelis ‘1492 – Conquest of Paradise’

Ep 515LF92 Giles Slade – American Exodus: Climate Change and the Coming Flight for Survival

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Giles Slade discusses his book American Exodus – Climate Change and the Coming Flight for Survival. Some scientists predict the sea will rise one and a half metres before 2100, but rapidly melting polar ice caps could make the real increase much higher. In the coming century, intensifying storms will batter our coasts, and droughts and extreme heat events will be annual threats. All this will occur as population grows, and declining water resources make growing food ever more challenging. What will happen when the United States cannot provide food or fresh water for the overheated, overcrowded cities where 80 per cent of Americans currently live? The good news is that this overall decline of habitability in the mid-latitudes will be matched by increases in the carrying capacity of sparsely populated lands above the 49th parallel. This phenomenon suggests that waves of environmental refugees will travel north as southern conditions worsen. Our northern lands are our Noah’s Ark – a vital refuge in the time of mankind’s greatest need. American Exodus argues that we are entering a long period of global turmoil which will be characterized by human migration on an unprecedented scale. It is a frighteningly believable survey of our immediate future, but it ends on a note of hope: we may yet survive the coming century of climatic change if we act now to safeguard our shelter of last resort. www.gilesslade.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Brad Fiedel ‘Desert Suite’

Ep 514LF91 Vlatko Vedral – Decoding Reality: The Universe as Quantum Information

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Vlatko Vedral on Decoding Reality – The Universe as Quantum Information. What is the nature of reality? Why is there something rather than nothing? These are the deepest questions that human beings have asked, that thinkers East and West have pondered over millennia. For a physicist, all the world is information. The Universe and its workings are the ebb and flow of information. We are all transient patterns of information, passing on the blueprints for our basic forms to future generations using a digital code called DNA. Decoding Reality asks some of the deepest questions about the Universe and considers the implications of interpreting it in terms of information. It explains the nature of information, the idea of entropy, and the roots of this thinking in thermodynamics. It describes the bizarre effects of quantum behaviour such as ‘entanglement’, which Einstein called ‘spooky action at a distance’ and explores cutting edge work on harnessing quantum effects in hyperfast quantum computers, and how recent evidence suggests that the weirdness of the quantum world, once thought limited to the tiniest scales, may reach up into our reality. The book concludes by considering the answer to the ultimate question: where did all of the information in the Universe come from? The answers considered are exhilarating and challenge our concept of the nature of matter, of time, of free will, and of reality itself.

Ep 513LF 90 Don Cerow – When the Dragon Wore the Crown

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Don Cerow discusses his book When the Dragon Wore the Crown. When our ancestors gazed upon the skies thousands of years ago they looked up into the centre of Creation and saw a mighty Dragon, a great celestial serpent with wings circling ceaselessly above them, night after night, century after century. When the Dragon Wore the Crown is a ground breaking book that covers a period of over 6000 years, focusing on what astrologers would call the Ages of Gemini, Taurus and Aries, and taking us through the period of classical astronomy with the Greeks and Romans (circa 7000 BC – 200 AD). The book opens and closes with the Chinese mythological tradition and touches on Sumerian, Babylonian, Phoenician, Hindu, Norse, Native American and even Mayan myths, weaving together many of their celestial serpentine similarities. Questions posed in this interview include: Are historical truths about people, places and events concealed within ancient myths, including those in The Bible? Do common themes within myths such as the Great Flood and End Times point to an age when there was one global culture and one common language? Why are symbols such as serpents, spirals and spheres so common in mythic traditions? Did climate change and the loss of ancient astronomical knowledge tip humanity into an era of famine, upheaval and war? Do celestial bodies possess consciousness and perhaps even intelligence? And finally, as we ourselves enter a new astronomical age, what does it signify about our future? www.athenasweb.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Stellardrone ‘Billions and Billions’

Ep 512LF84 Mark Corske – Engines of Domination: Political Power and the Human Emergency

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Mark Corske discusses his book Engines of Domination: Political Power and the Human Emergency. Is political power – armed central authority with states and war – really necessary for human society? Or is it a tool that ruling elites use to live at the expense of everyone else? Engines of Domination offers a theory of political power as a tool; an engine that converts human energy into power and privilege for the rulers. Invented in the Bronze Age and ruthlessly refined for six thousand years, today this engine threatens to destroy our world in a human emergency of converging political and economic crises, resource depletion, and environmental destruction. Applying his theory of political power to Western history, Corske makes a passionate argument that there is only one way to respond to this emergency: Armed central authority must be abolished, giving way to a world of peaceful voluntary communities. Six thousand years of violence and chaos, of abusive power and plundered privilege, is more than long enough. It’s time for something better. www.enginesofdomination.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Tangerine Dream ‘Underwater Sunlight’

Ep 511LF83 Joseph Chilton Pearce – Culture, Control and the Madness of Man

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Joseph Chilton Pearce discusses some of the ideas in his book Exploring the Crack in the Cosmic Egg. Originally published in 1974, the book has just been reissued. Although most human beings consider themselves sane, as a species we exhibit almost total insanity. From endless wars to the wholesale destruction of the environment, our actions wreak havoc on all around us, and in the end, on ourselves. But what is the cause of our mass psychosis, and why do so few of us acknowledge it? Do greed and violence truly reflect human nature, or are we victims of some long forgotten tragedy that lives on within the dark depths of our collective unconscious? Exploring the Crack in the Cosmic Egg asserts that our fear of death and belief that the universe is fundamentally hostile are at the root of all our problems. Beginning in childhood, the development of language and the process of acculturation render our direct experiences of the world much less vivid and our innate states of non-ordinary consciousness become suppressed. Trapped in a specific cultural context – a ‘cosmic egg’ – we are no longer able to have or even recognize mystical experiences not mediated by the limitations of our culture which itself literally splits our minds and prevents us from living fully in the present. Exploring the Crack‘¦ explores the varieties of non-ordinary states that can help us return to the unencumbered consciousness of our infancy. Just as we each create our own cosmic egg of reality through cultural conditioning, we also innately create a ‘crack’ in that egg through which we can restore wholeness to our minds, find freedom from our fear of death, and re-establish our ability to create our own realities through imagination and biological transcendence.

Ep 510LF448 Gerry O'Neill - Unvaxxed Soul: A Post Pandemic Spirit Journey

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Gerry O'Neill discusses his book 'Unvaxxed Soul: A Post Pandemic Spirit Journey'. What if the real journey after lockdown isn’t across a map, but into your own soul? Gerry's book is a post-lockdown road memoir and search for faith and inner freedom while navigating the wild beauty of the West of Ireland; a raw, reflective, quietly rebellious account set on the back roads and byroads of the countryside. When old certainties crack and the world’s explanations ring hollow, one man realises that no expert, institution, politics or movement can give him the inner peace he's searching for. Slowly, the outward road trip becomes an inward one. The search shifts from the world outside to the one within: memory, grief, fractured relationships, old shame, new learnings, and stubborn streaks of faith; a long, faltering search for a lived soul-heart. If you’ve ever felt out of step with the crowd, suspicious of easy answers, or drawn to a spirituality that’s messy, human and hard-won, 'Unvaxxed Soul' is a companion for the long road home.

Ep 509LF447 Kingsley Dennis - Transhumanism, Technocracy and The Struggle For Your Soul

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE This week I welcome back longtime guest Kingsley Dennis to discuss his latest book 'The Threshold: The Forces of Techno-Materialism and The Struggle for The Human Soul'. In his analysis of the modern technological world, Kingsley demonstrates that humanity is rushing headlong towards a critical moment for civilisation which he terms the ‘Threshold’, where the trajectory for human evolution is facing hostile forces that not only reject the path of the human spirit but aim to sabotage our connection to it. The Threshold brings the reader face-to-face with the intensifying threats of technocracy, transhumanism, AI-theology and false transcendence, and the re-defining of the biological human condition. Humanity must choose between a future of deepening fundamentalist materialism or a life that recognises the presence of metaphysical truths and the rising capacities of spirit-consciousness. At this time, unlike any other in known history, the Earth is engaged in a struggle for the presence of the human soul. Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Dionysiac ‘New Star Broadcasting’

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Gary Lachman discusses his memoir 'Touched by the Presence: From Blondie’s Bowery and Rock and Roll to Magic and the Occult'. The book traces Gary’s journey from founding member of Blondie to writer on consciousness and the esoteric tradition. He explores his involvement in Gurdjieff’s Fourth Way, Crowley’s Thelema, and his relationship with author Colin Wilson. He also shares how an early love of comics, science fiction, and fantasy led him to the esoteric tradition. From his rock'n'roll days he recalls encounters with, among others, the Ramones, New York Dolls, Patti Smith, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie and Iggy Pop. Excursions to Stonehenge, Avebury, and Glastonbury in search of ley lines, and pilgrimages to Colin Wilson’s home in Cornwall, are just a few of the many highlights of this introspective, humorous account of a nascent writer’s struggle from the music business to self-discovery and beyond.

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE This podcast is an audio version of a video recorded by Thomas Sheridan and Greg Moffitt for Thomas' show 'Not Quite the Witching Hour'. Topics include architecture, consumerism, dystopia, hauntology, popular culture and science fiction. A liminal space is a physical place or a psychological state of transition, characterized by being 'in-between' or on a 'threshold' between one state or location and another. The term originates from the Latin word 'limen' (threshold). These spaces often evoke feelings of eeriness, nostalgia, or unease because they are temporary and lack clear purpose for prolonged occupation. Examples include empty hallways, abandoned malls, or the periods of adolescence and major life changes, like a pandemic. Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’

Ep 501LF439 Keith Preston - Anarchism and the Death of Empire

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Keith Preston discusses his book Philosophical Anarchism and the Death of Empire More than half of the world's countries are democracies, even if in name only. Democracy is hailed by its advocates as the only rational political system, producing the best outcomes for the greatest number of citizens. But is this belief grounded more in ideology than reality? Are modern democratic governments actually doing more harm than good when it comes to the daily lives of individuals? Although the very idea may be regarded as unthinkable, democracy is essentially a gentrified form of mob rule and its failings are becoming increasingly obvious both in the West and in imitator countries around the world. And yet no matter how bad things get, few can even imagine an alternative. However, in Anarchism, a much maligned set of social, cultural, political, and economic models, genuine alternatives exist, and Preston makes a convincing case on their behalf. His recent study in anarchist theory and practice is committed to the promotion of decentralised societies, autonomous regions and localities, self-managed municipalities and villages, stateless tribes and voluntary associations, peoples’ militias and federated communities: the foundations for a new, diversified world even as the old world is falling apart.

Ep 500LF184 Paul Devereux - Stone Age Soundtracks: The Acoustic Archaeology of Ancient Sites

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Paul Devereux discusses his book Stone Age Soundtracks - The Acoustic Archaeology of Ancient Sites. Until recently, almost all archaeological insights have been gleaned by looking at ancient remains. Now archaeologists are starting to think beyond the visual. One of the most exciting branches of the new multi-sensory archaeology is archaeoacoustics, the archaeology of sound. Ancient civilizations developed far more than fine artwork and magnificent monuments. In songs to their gods, laments for their dead, and the universal human quest for the supernatural, people also made some very strange noises. Boulders and stalactites incised with prehistoric rock art that ring like bells and gongs, a Bronze Age 'stone drum' alongside a Russian lake that can be heard for miles when struck, ancient rock paintings and petroglyphs that have secret 'soundtracks', Mayan ruins that emit echoes mimicking the calls of sacred birds, mysterious temples and tombs possessing eerie acoustic effects, Amazonian shamans who use subtle sounds to guide people through drug-induced visionary states, Stone Age musical instruments, and megalithic sites that seem to move when subjected to certain sounds... all this and much more is explored in Stone Age Soundtracks. '''Without acoustics, archaeology is deaf...' And in looking back to hear the old stones speak, maybe we can learn how to move forward. http://www.pauldevereux.co.uk/ http://www.landscape-perception.com/ Related interview: Gary Evans - Listening to the Past Bumper music: Cliff Martinez 'Traffic OST' Ruhr Hunter 'Denned Earth / Decay and Rebirth'

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Gary Lachman discusses his book The Secret Teachers of the Western World. This epic study unveils the esoteric masters who have covertly impacted the intellectual development of the West. Running alongside the mainstream of Western intellectual history there is another current which, in a very real sense, should take pride of place, but which for the last few centuries has occupied a shadowy, inferior position, somewhere underground. In this clarifying, accessible, and fascinating study, Lachman explores the Western esoteric tradition as a thought movement with ancient roots and modern expressions, which, in a broad sense, regards the cosmos as a living, spiritual, meaningful being and humankind as having a unique obligation and responsibility within it. This is in stark contrast to much of modern science, which sees the universe as a meaningless flow of matter and energy, and human beings as pointless accidents.

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Kingsley Dennis discusses his book The Phoenix Generation: A New Era of Connection, Compassion, and Consciousness. Humanity is entering a momentous phase in its history. Being born today is a generation of children that will radically reinvent human society, moving our culture from competition, control, and censorship toward connection, communication, and compassion. The Phoenix Generation's impact will begin to be felt in 2030, but there much to do to prepare for their arrival. The Phoenix Generation will work toward forming a planetary society, a transition more radical than the shift from agrarian to urban life during the Industrial Revolution. These children are being born with increased instinctive intelligence and with a greater degree of inherited wisdom. With them, the quantum revolution begun 100 years ago will become mainstream. This will bring about a shift away from external dependencies in the realms of politics, economics, health, education and many more. This normalizing of new perspectives, cosmic awareness, and of multi-dimensional realities will usher in a great wave of change.

Ep 495LF102 Ervin Laszlo - The Self-Actualizing Cosmos

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Ervin Laszlo discusses his book The Self-Actualizing Cosmos - The Akasha Revolution in Science and Human Consciousness. Science evolves through alternating phases of 'normal' science and radical shifts that create scientific revolutions. We saw this at the turn of the 20th century, when science shifted from a Newtonian worldview to Einstein's relativity paradigm, and again with the shift to the quantum paradigm. Now, as we recognize the non-local interconnection of all things in space and time, we find our scientific worldview shifting once again. The Self-Actualizing Cosmos explores the genesis of the current revolution in scientific thought and the latest findings in support of the Akashic field. It explains how the burgeoning Akasha paradigm returns our way of thinking to an integral consciousness, a nonlinear mode of understanding that enables us to accept the reality of nonlocal interconnection throughout the world. This new inclusive way of understanding reaffirms the age-old instinctive comprehension of deep connections among people, societies, and nature, and it integrates and transcends classical religious and scientific paradigms. Providing examples from cutting-edge science of quantum-resonance-based interactions among all living systems, Laszlo shows the cosmos of the Akasha to be a self-actualizing, self-organizing whole, where each part is in coherence with all others and all parts together create the conditions for the emergence of life and consciousness. The advent of the Akasha paradigm marks a new stage in science's understanding of the fundamental nature of the world and offers unique guidance for contemporary efforts to create a peaceful and sustainable world. www.ervinlaszlo.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez 'Traffic OST' Tangerine Dream 'Rubycon'

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Patrick Lepetit discusses his book The Esoteric Secrets of Surrealism - Origins, Magic and Secret Societies. Not merely an artistic or literary movement as many believe, the surrealists rejected the labels of artist and author bestowed upon them by outsiders, accepting instead the titles of magician, alchemist or witch. Their paintings, poems, and other works were created to seek out unexplored regions of the mind and recover lost psychic and magical powers. They used creative expression as the vehicle to attain what André Breton called the 'supreme point', the point at which all opposites cease to be perceived as contradictions. This supreme point is found at the heart of all esoteric doctrines and enables communication with higher states of being. Drawing on an extensive range of writings by the surrealists and those in their circle of influence, Lepetit shows how surrealism employed mythology, gnostic principles, tarot, voodoo, and alchemy not simply as reference points but as significant elements of their ongoing investigations into the fundamental nature of consciousness. He provides many specific examples of esoteric influence among the surrealists, exploring the relationship between surrealism and Freemasonry, Martinists and the Elect Cohen as well as the Grail mythos and the Arthurian brotherhood.

Ep 493LF87 Paul D. Burley - Stonehenge: As Above, So Below

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Paul Burley discusses his book Stonehenge: As Above, So Below - Unveiling the Spirit Path on Salisbury Plain which identifies the original design and purpose of the Stonehenge ritual landscape. Stonehenge remains one of the most profound mysteries on Earth. We know almost nothing about the people who built it, how they did so, or why. As with the pyramids of Egypt, it seems impossible that Stonehenge could have been constructed using the primitive tools and methods prevalent at the time. Theories about its purpose have ranged from an astronomical observatory to a scared ceremonial, burial or even sacrificial site. What seems clear, however, is that ancient civilizations the world over possessed an innate understanding of the relationship between the cycles of life, death and rebirth, and those of the wider cosmos. The belief that life is everywhere and in all things and that all things are interconnected was fundamental to their worldview. It is vital to keep this in mind when contemplating the enigma that is Stonehenge. Stonehenge: As Above, So Below will change your understanding of the people who built the first and largest monument and many other mid-Neolithic structures that remain vital to the functioning of this sacred landscape. You will discover that the Stonehenge landscape is the oldest and best preserved example of astronomically-related sacred symbolism ever constructed. It is a major breakthrough unveiling a new paradigm for how Stonehenge was used over five thousand years ago, and how we should view it today. www.asabovesobelow-pauldburley.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez 'Traffic OST' Black Sabbath 'Stonehenge'

Ep 492LF121 James Maxlow - The Expanding Earth

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE World-renowned geologist James Maxlow discusses the theory of Expansion Tectonics. In a startling challenge to conventional geology, Expansion Tectonics suggests that the Earth has not always been the same size. Hundreds of millions of years ago, it may have been much, much smaller, with vast implications for the past, present and future of life on this planet. A single super-continent called Pangaea dominated Earth 300 million years ago. But whereas Plate Tectonics states that it existed surrounded by a huge super-ocean, Expansion Tectonics suggests that it covered the entire planetary surface. As the planet expanded - about 100 million years ago - so the spaces currently occupied by the great oceans opened up. Expansion Tectonics offers a radical overhaul of many accepted ideas about the Earth. It can help explain patterns of evolution, how life spread across the planet, catastrophic mass extinctions, and mysteries such as how and when Antarctica could once have been lush, green and free from ice. The theory therefore has relevance to Earth changes that we are witnessing today. It also poses many fascinating questions: if the planet is expanding, where does the additional matter come from? What, if anything, can it tell us about the origins of the Earth? Is expansion occurring on other planets, in other galaxies or even throughout the entire Universe? With or without Expansion Tectonics, the Earth does continue to expand, although the rate - just a few centimeters per year - is stretched across such a vast timescale that it has barely registered since human beings first evolved. However, should it continue, life on Earth will once again be profoundly transformed during the next few million years. www.jamesmaxlow.com www.expansiontectonics.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez 'Traffic OST' Dynatron 'Dust of Saturn'

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Stephen Hurrell discusses his book Dinosaurs and the Expanding Earth. The previous show is directly related to this one. You may find it useful to listen to it first, It can be found here. When Dinosaurs and the Expanding Earth was first published it proposed a startling idea to explain the long-standing puzzle of the dinosaurs' vast size. Some paleontologists have suggested that many dinosaurs' bones were simply not strong enough to support their enormous weight. Hurrell, however, presented scientific evidence that dinosaurs lived in reduced gravity and this allowed them to grow to gigantic proportions. The Reduced Gravity Earth theory explains why life - including dinosaurs, plants and insects - evolved towards a larger scale on the ancient Earth. It is also a key piece of evidence that provides additional support for an Expanding Earth, something a number of leading geologists have been suggesting for decades. Expanding Earth theory postulates that hundreds of millions of years ago, our planet was much, much smaller, gradually growing over time as it accrued material from elsewhere in the solar system. For reasons still debated, the dinosaurs, and indeed many other ancient forms of life, did not survive the Earth changes that beset them. If such changes are in fact not in the distant past but actually still underway, what could this mean for the future of life on Earth? As changing gravity and Expanding Earth claim to answer some of the most vexing questions about life on this planet, what might they suggest about life elsewhere in the solar system, the galaxy and the entire Universe? www.dinox.org Bumper music: Cliff Martinez 'Traffic OST' Dynatron 'Stars of the Night'

Stephen Buhner discusses his book Plant Intelligence and the Imaginal Realm: Beyond the Doors of Perception into the Dreaming of Earth which reveals that all life forms on Earth possess intelligence, language, a sense of I and not I, and the capacity to dream. It shows that by consciously opening the doors of perception, we can reconnect with the living intelligence in Nature as kindred beings, once again become wild scientists, non-domesticated explorers of a Gaian world. Buhner explains how to use analogical thinking and imaginal perception to directly experience the inherent meanings that flow through the world, that are expressed in each living form that surrounds us, and to directly initiate communication in return. He delves deeply into the ecological function of invasive plants, bacterial resistance to antibiotics, psychotropic plants and fungi, and, most importantly, the human species itself. He shows that human beings are not a plague on the planet - they have a specific ecological function as important to Gaia as that of plants and bacteria. Buhner shows that the capacity for depth connection and meaning-filled communication with the living world is inherent in every human being. It is as natural as breathing, as the beating of our own hearts, as our own desire for intimacy and love.

Ep 487LF127 David Fideler - Restoring the Soul of the World

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE David Fideler discusses his book Restoring the Soul of the World. For millennia the world was seen as a creative, interconnected web of life in which we participated deeply. But when the world came to be described as a lifeless, clock-like mechanism during the Scientific Revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries, life and intelligence came to be seen as existing only in human beings, and nature came to be increasingly viewed as an object of exploitation that primarily exists to meet human needs. This also led to a profound sense of alienation, since human beings no longer had any real bond with the world. In Restoring the Soul of the World, Fideler throws light on the unexamined connections between science, religion, and culture, and how our deepest worldviews have influenced the ways we relate to the world, other people, and our innermost selves. The book traces the ancient vision of living nature along its entire course: from its roots in the World Soul of the Greek philosophers, to its eclipse during the Scientific Revolution, to its return today. Drawing upon the most important scientific discoveries of recent times, Restoring the Soul of the World shows how the mechanistic worldview has broken down, and presents a new vision of living nature and our own intrinsic bond with the deepest structures of the cosmic pattern. By learning from and collaborating with nature's intelligence, we can bring the world to fruition by viewing nature as a teacher and creative partner, and help to regenerate the Earth's living systems. www.thesouloftheworld.com www.cosmopolisproject.org Bumper music: Cliff Martinez 'Traffic OST' Klaus Schulze 'This Island Earth'

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Reece Girven discusses some of the ideas in his book The Universe and The Psyche. What is the origin of the Universe? Was it created in a Big Bang, or might it always have existed? We are told that matter creates consciousness, but could it be that consciousness creates matter? What can we learn from the patterns in physical reality? From DNA to galaxies, spirals appear everywhere in nature - do they hold a key to understanding? In choosing to disregard the non-material, modern science has lost 95 per cent of the Universe to dark matter, dark energy and other convoluted theories. By shifting our perspective on reality, what can we learn about the nature of the 95 per cent? Is it possible that the fundamental nature of reality is information? Scientific materialism tells us that the life arose randomly, without purpose, and without meaning, and yet many ancient traditions speak of the Universe and all life in it as imbued with both, and ordered by a higher intelligence that some call God. With all the murder and mayhem carried out in the name of religion, it is easy to understand why so many resist the idea of such a higher intelligence. But if we set aside the prejudices attached to both the scientific and the mystical views and merge the best of both models, a more complete picture of reality begins to emerge. Our planet stands on the brink of disaster and many of its conflicts stem from fundamentally differing worldviews. But could reconciliation between the scientific and the mystical, material and non-material, offer hope for our long-term future? www.quantar.co Bumper music: Cliff Martinez 'Traffic OST' Stellardrone 'Crystal Spheres'

Ep 485LF141 Christopher Knight - God's Blueprint: Scientific Evidence that Earth was Created for Humans

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Christopher Knight discusses his latest book God's Blueprint: Scientific Evidence that Earth was Created for Humans. God's Blueprint puts the idea of God on trial. Whilst the issue has been hotly disputed over recent generations with scientists on one side and theologians on the other, evidence either way has been thin on the ground. Faith - belief without evidence - has been the basis for the world's major religions. Most scientists reject the notion of God because they require factual, empirical evidence in order to accept any proposition as being real. However, new information is emerging which appears to suggest that there is underlying intelligence and purpose within the universe. When examined closely, the very existence of life and even the universe itself seem extremely unlikely. The slightest deviation in the so-called laws of nature and none of it would be possible. Mainstream science maintains that this is little more than a happy accident, but the more we learn about life, the universe and everything, the more mysterious it all becomes, and the more it looks like someone - or something - set it all in motion. Setting aside the dogmas of both science and religion, God's Blueprint asks whether everything we think we know is wrong, and whether the subtle realms of reality carry a message for humanity whose time has come.

What if science and society's most cherished theories, taught as fact, were actually wrong? What if the anomalies that disprove these theories were covered up and distorted, and any serious challenges brushed off as lunacy, hysteria, pseudo-science or conspiracy? In this primer in deprogramming, Martinez reveals the disinformation at the root of mainstream consensus thinking. She punches gaping holes in the established theories of the Big Bang, Darwinian evolution, ice ages, and global warming. Drawing on the ancient science of the unseen and some of the most advanced thinkers in astrophysics, she explains a new 'Theory of Everything' to replace the standard model. Martinez reveals how the instability of society itself has found its way into our theories, positing explosive change and acceleration where there is none. She explains how homo sapiens' evolution did not suddenly accelerate 40,000 years ago and culture did not accelerate to birth civilization a mere 6,000 years ago. She shows how the theories of the Freudian and Jungian unconscious and of reincarnation have grossly misrepresented the spirit of man and the psyche of humanity. Resurrecting the majestic order that was once recognized at the basis of reality, Martinez shows that the shift from the Age of Disinformation to the Age of Understanding is well underway. www.earthvortex.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez 'Traffic OST' Above Machine 'Field of Dreams'

Ep 483LF146 Philip Comella - The Collapse of Materialism: Visions of Science, Dreams of God

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Philip Comella discusses his book The Collapse of Materialism – Visions of Science, Dreams of God. Can human consciousness be explained by Darwin and materialist science? Does matter exist outside of the mind, with no rationale or direction, the universe created completely by chance? Since ancient Greece, materialists have held that there is no room for purpose or design. We exist in a random and unconscious universe that has evolved through natural selection. However, a very different view of the universe and its creation has co-existed with the materialist point of view. In this version, the universe is the creation of a powerful and purposeful mind, one that exists outside of matter and is, in fact, the creator of matter. For millennia, these two opposing viewpoints have clashed, often with catastrophic results. In The Collapse of Materialism, Comella proposes a profound shift in the way that we look at the exchange of beliefs between these two domains. Envisioning the end of the mechanical scientific worldview as it is currently taught, the author believes that civilization may be at the beginning of a new epoch, a time of great spiritual awakening with humanity transcending to a higher truth, one that unifies the now colliding cultures of science and religion. www.thecollapseofmaterialism.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Tone Color ‘Deuxième étage’

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE James Swagger discusses the origins of Halloween. Most of us know little or nothing about the origins of Halloween. Beyond trick or treating, Jack-o'-lanterns and the piles of plastic bats and skulls that go from supermarket shelf to landfill in a matter of days, Halloween is by and large a mystery. Some possess a vague awareness of its ancient past, but the profound connections with nature and the cosmos from which our age-old rituals arose have been erased from the collective consciousness by centuries of religious persecution and secular humanism. Delving deep into the dark past, we attempt to dig up the almost fathomless roots of Halloween, from the Christianization of Samhain and other Pagan festivals, to tales of sacred bonfires and bloody sacrifice, and alegends of a liminal time when the veil between the real and the unreal would be swept aside. We also reflect on how modern mediocrity has twisted the heritage of high antiquity into a hollow cypher, a state-of-the-art bastardization that has transformed ancient rites into retail opportunities, vile and vulgar shadows of the ineffable and eternal. But all is not lost. Beyond the Celtic Revival, Neo-paganism, Wicca, Druidry and Heathenry, the primordial power of ages past is rising once more in the collective consciousness. Disillusioned with the false promise of globalism, the mendacious lie of materialism, and shaken by the crumbling foundations of techno-industrial society, human beings the Earth over are seeking something better. Slowly at first, but with gathering awareness, we are rediscovering our birthright, long buried and forgotten.

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Courtney Brown of The Farsight Institute discusses his latest documentary The Great Pyramid of Giza - The Mystery Solved, a definitive breakthrough study of how one of the most amazing mysteries on Earth was constructed. (Scroll down to play) The Great Pyramid is huge, and it was built with gigantic stone blocks that even today seem nearly impossible to cut, transport, and assemble on the massive scale required long ago when it was originally constructed. Until now, no one on Earth really knew how these vast structures were assembled, at a time when tools were rudimentary, camels and wooden or reed boats were the primary forms of transportation, and manual labor was the only apparent means available to construct anything. This revolutionary scientific study employs the use of remote viewing on an unprecedented scale to solve the mystery of the Great Pyramid. Remote viewing is a mental procedure that was originally developed by the United States military and used for espionage purposes. Now, civilians employ the same methods, or procedures that are derivative of those methodologies, to study human history. The Great Pyramid project was undertaken at The Farsight Institute using data collected by two of the most accomplished military grade remote viewers operating today. As a result, the true story of how the Great Pyramid was actually constructed using a combination of exotic advanced technology and brutal manual labor can finally be told. Beyond building methods, however, there are even bigger questions: Who designed The Great Pyramid, and what was its true purpose? Was there extraterrestrial involvement? If some ancient civilizations were far more advanced than mainstream archaeology assumes, what are the implications for our ideas of progress and plans for humanity's future? Very little of what most people learned in school about the origins of the Great Pyramid of Giza is correct. Our civilization needs to uncover its true history without bias and with an open mind. Now is not the time to censor new knowledge. Now is the time to face our past. www.farsight.org Previous interviews with Courtney Brown: Remote Viewing, Consciousness and Reality Atlantis - The True Story Bumper music: Cliff Martinez 'Traffic OST' Tangerine Dream 'Desert Dream'

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Chris Hardy discusses her book DNA of the Gods -The Anunnaki Creation of Eve and the Alien Battle for Humanity. The evidence keeps accumulating from tens of thousands of Sumerian and Middle-Eastern clay tablets already unearthed that we are the descendants of the gods of Sumer, and the numerous striking similarities between the Bible scriptures and these ancient texts reveal that the deity in the Garden of Eden (Edin) was the Sumerian Prince Enlil, the Commander of Earth. It is now clear that the events in Edin (aka Sumer) were no less than a leap in the bio-engineering of the present day human race from the DNA of the aliens or Anunnaki '''who came down to Earth'. DNA of the Gods probes many of the key questions arising from the Sumerian/Anunnaki theory: Why did the visitors come to Earth in the first place? Was a massive planetary collision involving their home world Nibiru somehow involved in the formation of Earth? Was the passage of Nibiru close to Earth responsible for the deluge or Great Flood recorded in myths and legends worldwide? Were nuclear weapons used to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah? Does the Sumerian/Anunnaki theory help make sense of the deep-seated feeling that humans are somehow different from the rest of life on Earth with which we seem unable to live in harmony? And crucially - has the misunderstanding and distortion of the Sumerian tablets which appears in the Bible and other religious texts burdened humanity with false concepts of morality and sexuality which have in turn created a patriarchal world of greed and violence?

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Courtney Brown discusses The Farsight Institute's latest project The Phoenix Lights. On Thursday, March 13th 1997, an anomalous series of lights flew in steady formation over the American southwest, eventually settling in over Phoenix, Arizona. The lights appeared to be connected to a large craft, and the underbelly of that craft was so big it blocked out much of the sky above. The event was witnessed by thousands of people for a number of hours, including the then governor of Arizona. Utilizing new data from two of the best remote viewers on the planet, and methodologies derived from those developed and used by the U.S. military for espionage, it appears that this event involved at least one huge extraterrestrial spacecraft. The results for this project also include impressive corroborating data, and what appears to be a direct communication between a being on the craft and one of the remote viewers, a communication beyond conventional space-time and spanning the years 1997 to 2015. Later in the interview we turn to a number of related topics including consciousness, psychic phenomena and the subtle realms of existence beyond five sense perception, the vital importance of Earthbound human experience, and the fundamental nature of reality. 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 Andy Tomlinson and Reena Kumarasingham discuss their book Between Lives: Past-Life Regression, Near-Death Experiences, and the Evolution of Consciousness While neuroscience reveals much about the brain, it has not determined the precise relationship between the brain and consciousness. Between Lives probes the depths of this relationship, examining evidence that supports the existence of consciousness independent of the brain, such as savant syndrome, lucid dreaming, telepathic communication in dreams, mediumship, and out-of-body experiences. We also consider case studies of near-death experiences, finding commonalities across such phenomena, particularly with between-lives memories gleaned through regression hypnosis. Although science itself may never establish clear causal mechanisms for this, millennia of spiritual teachings and individual experiences suggest that our present life is but one of many in a cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, each life an opportunity to learn, grow and ultimately transcend this material existence.

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Jonathan Harrison discusses his book You Are This: Awakening to the Living Presence of Your Soul. Whether step by step or in the wake of sudden shocks, increasing numbers of people are questioning the meaning of their lives and that of the world around them. As a result, some are even drawn to doubt their own sanity. But what at first might appear as a disastrous disintegration of daily life may in fact emerge as a revitalising re-birth; the dawning of a wider reality and a deeper sense of self infinitely more meaningful than the maze of matter-of-fact materialism through which so many of us have wandered for millennia. But in rejecting the primacy of worldly being, do we run the risk of going too far? Is this life really an illusion, or does truth, reality or any other concept we care to conceive of, reside beyond the domain of duality and non-duality? Whatever our world-view - atheist, agnostic, humanist, spiritual, religious, the list goes on - the integration of separate and divisive identities may hold the key to the next stage in human evolution as we awaken to the understanding that mind and matter both matter, and that all is one just as all things are unique. http://www.authorjmharrison.com/ Cliff Martinez 'Traffic OST' Steve Hauschildt 'Where All Is Fled'

E

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Ken Elliott discusses his book Manifesting 1 2 3. For many years, the concept of manifesting has inspired countless individuals striving to improve their lives. Always one of the most popular areas in the Mind, Body & Spirit section of bookshops, titles such as The Secret and literally thousands of similar publications offer tantalising glimpses of how The Law of Attraction and other 'positive thinking' practices can bring about profound changes in our being. For millions, sadly, the result has been little more than disappointment and frustration as, despite months or even years of wish lists, vision boards and workshops, their hopes and dreams somehow fail to materialize. So is there, after all, real substance to any of this? Or is it merely New Age snake oil peddled to the lost and alone? As it emerges, what most manifesting manuals don't tell you is that thought is indeed a real force. Non-material and non-local, but a force nonetheless, with a solid grounding that cutting edge science may one day reveal to us. Our thoughts do indeed affect our physical reality and like gravity, whether we believe in it or not, it's happening anyway. Call it science, call it magic, call it anything you like - it's merely one of the basic operating principles of the Universe that each of us experiences each and every day, even if we chose to deny it. Harnessing this power, however, through focussed will, intention and desire, and charged by emotion, has the potential to become extremely powerful. http://manifesting123.com/ http://www.kenelliott.com/ Bumper music: Cliff Martinez 'Traffic OST' Klaus Schulze 'Mindphaser'

The destructive force in the universe is a actually a creative challenger, driving evolution onwards and upwards. Although darkness is a universal force that can never be eliminated, managing our destructive energies is not only possible, it is essential for ourselves and our species to survive and thrive. We are programmed to maximise pleasure and minimise pain, but there is a power at work within us that we ignore at our peril.

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Colin E. Davis and Melissa Mari discuss their book Shadow Tech - Cracking the Codes of Personal and Collective Darkness. This is a two part interview. Part one is here In the follow-up to our first interview we further discuss the nature of evil as a non-local force communicable across the energetic field which exists between individuals, groups, and entire species. It is the shadow side of the human psyche known down the ages as demons, evil spirits, and possession, amongst other things. It is viral and parasitic in nature, operating within the biological computer, the hardware of the body, and the software of the mind. Human culture, therefore, is like a computer network, and deep within it politics, economics, the media, and every tentacle of our tremulous civilization twists and tortures our subconscious. We are, however, not completely helpless. In acknowledging what ails us and summoning the courage to confront it, we have at least a chance of cutting out this cancer before it kills the host. 01Experience Fear No Virus Bumper music: Cliff Martinez 'Traffic OST' John Carpenter 'The Fog OST'

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Dr. Rory Mac Sweeney discusses some of the ideas in his book The Paradox of Lucid Dreaming - A Metaphysical Theory of Mind. In this freewheeling, off-the-cuff chat we explore creativity, philosophy, the rise of independent media and growing global interconnectedness, psychedelics and shamanism, the origin of life, the potential existence of meaning and purpose throughout the cosmos, and the fundamental nature of reality itself. Can something really be created from nothing, and if not, has something always existed? Perhaps the biggest question of all is not how, but why? This is a three part interview. Part two is here. www.wakeupinyourdreams.com Greg Moffitt on Reality Check Podcast with Rory Mac Sweeney.
