LF318 Freedom From Fear #4 – Bernardo Kastrup

trailerE

Beginning in August 2020, ‘Freedom From Fear’ is a free-form discussion series taking the title as its starting point. Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com In this episode, Bernardo Kastrup and Greg Moffitt explore how the unique intelligence which allows humans to sit atop Earth’s evolutionary pyramid and have dominion over all life on the planet is both our greatest gift and the source of our most profound problems, personally and globally. Unlike other creatures, humans have a sense of the past, the future, and our own mortality. Combined with a hardcore scientific materialist world-view and a ‘I’ll be dead by then’ mindset, it has led our species to the brink of disaster. Bernardo also reveals his own relationship with fear.

LF317 Justin S. Grant – Secrets of Personal, Professional, & Planetary Evolution Part One

trailerE

Justin Grant discusses his book Business & Spirituality ~ Secrets of Personal, Professional, & Planetary Evolution. Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com History shows us that the status quo is likely to be overturned when it no longer serves the greater good. When yesterday’s protective walls become today’s oppressive prisons, group energy shatters the outworn forms. These inefficient and violent swings of boom and bust, oppression and revolution, might be prevented entirely through a wiser approach. As the inner life of humanity intensifies, acceleration occurs throughout society – as above, so below; as within, so without. This cause and effect relationship is likewise expressed as the illumination of our collective psyche, leading to increased light and electrical radiance in the material world. While the dangers of this progression are very real, so are the opportunities. Despite the outer chaos and confusion that is demonstrated on a global scale, is there a divine plan for our planet?

LF316 Simon Siddol – Poisonous Music: Pop Culture and Mind Control

trailerE

Simon Siddol discusses the trend in western popular music towards the inane, the robotic, and the infantile – a social engineering agenda pushed hard by the handful of multi-national corporations that sit atop the music industry pyramid. Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com Siddol believes that this degradation of western music has been happening for centuries, so old and so deeply ingrained that elements of this pernicious anti-consciousness agenda are now part of the musical DNA of even the most well-meaning and conscious musicians. It’s the perfect subconscious mind-control mechanism. We’re using what is in reality a shamanic mind-altering tool for recreational jollies, en masse, and it’s ruining people’s psychic health, and the health of our entire society. But strategies exist for both music-lovers and musicians to help them detox from the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours around music that slowly but surely dehumanize us.

LF315 Freedom From Fear #3 – Steve Taylor

trailerE

Beginning in August 2020, ‘Freedom From Fear’ is a free-form discussion series taking the title as its starting point. Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com In this episode, Steve Taylor and Greg Moffitt examine how our relationship with fear has changed over time as the world has become more complex and densely-populated. Aside from triggering untold levels of anxiety and hysteria, the 2020 Pandemic has served to exacerbate divisions already causing huge problems globally. Devoting so much mental and emotional energy to the situation has undoubtedly made it worse – fear rarely serves any purpose outside of fleeting moments of real danger, and living in fear is seriously counterproductive. If, however, we can make it through this mass psychosis relatively intact, opportunities for positive personal and collective transformation await.

trailerE

Beginning in August 2020, ‘Freedom From Fear’ is a free-form discussion series taking the title as its starting point. Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com In this episode, Kingsley Dennis and Greg Moffitt explore fear as a response to an increasingly chaotic world. As mainstream explanations for global events increasingly ring hollow, millions of people are struggling to comprehend what’s happening to their lives. The resulting confusion and distress can cause us to close up and shut down, mentally and emotionally. Cognitive dissonance can narrow our perceptions and trigger feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. Stepping back from the chaos and taking a wider view, however, can help us break out of destructive cycles of reacting and over-reacting, and place our fears in perspective.

Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com In this episode, Jasun Horsley and Greg Moffitt explore the origins and purpose of fear, how fear can cause us to overlook the most important things in life, and how fear of the future stops us living in the present. We also discuss the pandemic of fear triggered by the current coronavirus crisis, the collective insanity infecting human consciousness, and how the root of all human fear ultimately lies in our fear of death.

Ep 311LF311 Marc Defant – Where Are All the Aliens?

E

Marc Defant discusses the apparent lack of evidence for extraterrestrial life in our solar system, the wider galaxy, and the entire observable universe. Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com The Fermi Paradox states the situation as follows: There are billions of stars in the Milky Way similar to the Sun. With high probability, some of these stars have Earth-like planets. Many of these stars, and hence their planets, are much older than the sun. If the Earth is typical, some may have developed intelligent life long ago. Some of these civilizations may have developed interstellar travel, a step humans are investigating now. Even at the slow pace of currently envisioned interstellar travel, the Milky Way galaxy could be completely traversed in a few million years. And since many of the stars similar to the Sun are billions of years older, the Earth should have already been visited by extraterrestrial civilizations, or at least their probes. However, there is no convincing evidence that this has happened. So the question is: Where are all the aliens? Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Dionysiac ‘Iota Ceti Contact’

David Ditchfield discusses his book Shine On: The Remarkable Story of How I Fell Under a Speeding Train, Journeyed to the Afterlife, and the Astonishing Proof I Brought Back With Me. This is a two part interview. Part one is here Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com In the second part we explore David’s NDE in more detail, the overlap such experiences have with psychic phenomena and altered states of consciousness, and the potential implications for the survival of our species and our understanding of the nature of reality itself. Personal transformation aside, the most profound way in which NDEs affect wider society, and the source of their positive potential for our future, is in how they change attitudes and behaviour towards others and towards the planet as a whole. Losing one’s fear of death, discovering a vibrant new zest for life, abandoning attachment to material things, and striving to help others can create ripple effects with potentially global reach. Even simply reading about NDEs can generate these transformative effects in individuals. Given the possibility of a species-wide near-death experience in the shape of social and environmental collapse, are we being impelled to evolve or die?

trailerE

Bestselling Norwegian novelist Bjørn Andreas Bull-Hansen discusses humanity’s present plight and what we may salvage from the past to save us in the future. Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com A deep malaise infects contemporary culture. Ever-greater tremors shake industrial civilization to its core. Societal disintegration looms large. In response, governments pursue ever-more draconian methods of control. Our fundamental freedoms are undermined by gathering oppression, our minds clouded by propaganda and lies. All of these are symptoms of a shattered psyche, a disconnection from the natural world and the vast web of life, and a disenchanted view of the cosmos. If we are to survive and thrive in future, we must remember what we have forgotten and, with humility, understand how much we still have to learn.

Gary Lachman discusses his book The Return of Holy Russia – Apocalyptic History, Mystical Awakening, and the Struggle for the Soul of the World. Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com Lachman’s latest work explores how mystical and spiritual influences have shaped Russia’s identity and politics, and what it means for our future. At the turn of the 20th century, Russia was undergoing a powerful spiritual and cultural rebirth. It was a time of magic and mysticism that saw a resurgence of interest in the occult and a creative intensity not seen in the West since the Renaissance. This was the time of the God-Seekers, pilgrims of the soul and explorers of the spirit who sought the salvation of the world through art and ideas. These sages and their visions of Holy Russia are returning to prominence now through Russian president Vladimir Putin, who, inspired by their ideas, envisions a new ‘Eurasian’ civilization with Russia as its leader.

LF307 Christopher Bache – LSD and the Mind of the Universe

trailerE

Christopher Bache discusses his book LSD and the Mind of the Universe. Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com In 1979, Bache took the first step on what would become a life-changing journey. Drawing from his training as a philosopher of religion, he set out to explore his mind and the mind of the universe as deeply and systematically as possible, with the help of the psychedelic drug LSD. Over the course of 20 years the 73 high-dose LSD sessions drew him into a deepening communion with cosmic consciousness. Bache tells how he touched the living intelligence of our universe – an intelligence that both embraced and crushed him – and demonstrates how direct experience of the divine can change our perspective on life, the Universe, and everything. Making a powerful case for the value of psychedelically-induced spiritual experience, the author shares his immersion in the fierce love and creative intent of the unified field of consciousness that underlies all physical existence. He describes the incalculable value of embracing the pain and suffering he encountered in his sessions and the challenges he faced integrating his experiences into his everyday life.

Royce Christyn discusses how a deeper understanding of science and psychology can aid positive thinking and manifesting practices. Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com Christyn’s new book Scripting the Life You Want is so much more than just another how-to manifesting handbook; it is an exploration of the cutting-edge science which makes manifesting possible. Unlike many who claim to offer the secret of creating the life you really want, Christyn goes beyond the simplistic and superficial routines which leave so many seekers frustrated, to uncover the hidden mechanisms which shape our reality. Mechanisms understood by magicians of ages past and by media manipulators of the present day, which can be mastered by individuals to take control of their lives in these turbulent times. If you are not truly in control of your life, you can be sure that someone else is, but without insight into how our reality is created, self-mastery may remain a mystery.

Ep 305LF305 David Ditchfield – From Near Death to New Life: Part 1

E

David Ditchfield discusses his book Shine On: The Remarkable Story of How I Fell Under a Speeding Train, Journeyed to the Afterlife, and the Astonishing Proof I Brought Back With Me. Listen to more shows on Legalise Freedom Dot Com Across thousands of years, people have described one of the most astonishing of all human phenomena: the near-death experience, or NDE. A near-death experience is a profound psychological event that may occur to a person close to death or in extreme physical or emotional crisis. The associated emotions are intense, and most commonly include peace, love, and bliss, although a substantial minority are marked by terror, anxiety, or despair. Most people come away from the experience with an unshakable belief that they have learned something of immeasurable importance about the purpose of life. The more powerful the NDE, the more profound the after effects. The ambitious reset their priorities. Atheists change their values. Doctors rethink their beliefs. In the modern world, dominated by scientific reductionism, NDEs are generally viewed as mere chemical by-products of a dying brain. However, evidence that NDEs contain a profoundly important message for humanity continues to pile up, and the accounts recorded in best-selling books such as Raymond Moody’s Life After Life and Kenneth Ring’s Lessons From the Light are both fascinating and deeply moving. David Ditchfield returned from his near-death experience with amazing artistic abilities previously unknown to him, and this is his story.

Ep 304LF304 Frank Furedi – Coronavirus Crisis: Pandemic of Fear

E

Frank Furedi discusses the 2020 Coronavirus Crisis and the real pandemic – fear. Listen to more shows on Legalise Freedom Dot Com. COVID-19 is a disaster without precedent. Not primarily in terms of the disease itself, but in how we have responded to it. The climate of fear is such that populations worldwide have willingly abandoned their way of life, given up rights and fundamental freedoms, and accepted government-imposed lockdowns – all in the name of protection from the threat of infection. While governments were delighted that a fearful public was so ready to exchange its freedoms for the promise of safety, they now have a new problem: citizens have become too scared to leave their homes when the lockdowns end. Whatever the actual physical threat from COVID-19, most people are now discovering that the devastating economic, social, and psychological impact of lockdowns will have a much greater impact on their lives. Once the exercise of freedom is perceived as unsafe, and a threat to human health, society is in trouble. Depriving people of freedom does not make anyone feel genuinely safe, and after months of living in lockdown, millions of people have become terrified of everyone and everything. We can never be 100 per cent safe, but by stepping outside of our homes, we can begin to live as free citizens again. We can begin to take back control, get on with our lives, and learn to contain the threat posed by COVID-19. No power on earth can do more to strengthen our ability to deal with fear than freedom.

Ep 303LF303 Paul Levy – Coronavirus Crisis: Transformation Through Trauma

E

Paul Levy discusses the 2020 Coronavirus Crisis and the deeper psychological and spiritual origins of the virus. Listen to more shows on Legalise Freedom Dot Com. For almost twenty years, Levy has been writing about an insidious, invisible virus spreading and replicating itself throughout the human species. This deadly disease is a virus of the mind that cultivates and feeds on fear and separation. It is a true game-changer for us to recognize that the Coronavirus is literally a materialization in our world of the previously invisible virus that exists deep within the collective unconscious of humanity. What is playing out in Covid-19 can help us begin to see the deeper underlying pandemic – a collective psychological infection – that has been wreaking havoc on our species behind the scenes and beneath our awareness from time immemorial. One of the real dangers of the current pandemic is for us to feel helpless, overwhelmed with despair, impending doom and pessimism, a state which cuts us off from our agency and creative power. Strangely enough, the hardest of the hard sciences – quantum physics – comes to our aid as medicine to protect us from this psychological danger. A little insight into the essence of what quantum physics reveals to us can be the best anti-depressant imaginable. By revealing that we live in a thoroughly quantum universe, quantum physics is literally placing the keys to our future in our own hands. The question is, do we know how to wisely use the gift that is being freely offered to us?

E

Colin E. Davis and Melissa Mari discuss the 2020 Coronavirus Crisis. In this two-part show, we examine some of the inconsistencies surrounding the official story concerning so-called COVID-19, and also the deeper psycho-spiritual dimensions of the virus. Part one is here Beyond government propaganda, mass media manipulation, and the deadliest pandemic of all – fear – the key to the current crisis lies hidden in the deepest recesses of the human psyche. Despite the promise and potential embodied in the secular religions of science and progress, it is clear that we have entered the 21st Century profoundly disconnected from each other, from the natural world and, ultimately, from ourselves. This separation has spawned a deadly psycho-spiritual sickness, largely unacknowledged, which manifests itself as dysfunction, destruction, and decay in the outer world. The Coronavirus Crisis is holding up a mirror so that humanity may see its own shadow, face its fears, and seize the challenge of this moment as an opportunity to evolve or die.

Ep 301LF301 Thomas Lombardo – Coronapocalyse: When Science Fiction Becomes Fact

E

Thomas Lombardo discusses science fiction and the 2020 Coronavirus Crisis. Dystopian, post-apocalyptic sci fi has been one of the most prolific forms of popular entertainment in recent years. Visions of disintegrating societies, deserted cities, and scattered bands of survivors struggling to salvage the shreds of civilization have horrified and haunted viewers everywhere. Today, in the midst of the great Coronavirus Crisis of 2020, billions worldwide suddenly find themselves living in a surreal and disturbing version of a small screen nightmare. But this is no zombie apocalypse or alien invasion. Instead, what we are dealing with is a pandemic of fear, confusion, and ignorance in the face of what is in fact a familiar threat as old as humanity itself. As with many fictional disasters, official rhetoric about ‘coming together’ has been met by populations driven apart, and the disastrous fall-out from our failure to deal appropriately with the current crisis will be felt for many years to come. Attempting to eliminate all risk for the sake of stability and safety is anti-evolutionary and can lead only to stasis and stagnation. In the best science fiction stories, however, we can find wisdom to help navigate these troubling times, and in the true meaning of apocalypse – a ‘revelation’ or ‘unveiling’ – find positive growth and transformation for the future of the human race.

E

Colin E. Davis and Melissa Mari discuss the 2020 Coronavirus Crisis. In this two-part show, we examine some of the inconsistencies surrounding the official story about so-called COVID-19 and the heavy-handed government response to it. Was crashing the global economy and bankrupting millions of people really an appropriate response to a disease that has thus far killed the equivalent of the population of a large town? We also consider the acquiescent and apathetic public reaction to lockdowns, bans, and other draconian restrictions, and potential future implications for individual freedom. The real pandemic, as it turns out, is fear. Whether this coronavirus outbreak occurred naturally, was deliberately engineered, or somewhere in between, the powers that be have a habit of never letting a crisis go to waste. Whatever the truth may be, seismic shifts in society are already underway, and in one or more important respects, the lives we once knew may be gone forever. Contemplate how swiftly your lives have become like ‘The Lives of Others’ – nervous curtain twitching, nightly pronouncements from The Party on the tele-broadcast unit, and constant chatter about what is and what is not available at the food distribution centre.

Ep 299LF299 Jasun Horsley – Through the Coronavirus Kaleidoscope

E

Jasun Horsley and I probe some of the darker dimensions of the coronavirus crisis. For millions of people worldwide, the routines and rhythms of daily life have abruptly been put on hold. Superficially, the story behind it all – that of a raging global pandemic – is simple and straightforward. However, even official accounts vary from day to day and from place to place, as infection and death rates morph and change and so-called experts contradict each other and themselves. In an era of 24/7 news, instantaneous global communications, and self-re-enforcing feedback loops, perhaps this is not so surprising. But this constantly-changing narrative is driving increasing numbers into cognitive dissonance as they struggle to support beliefs and world-views which are constantly being undermined by discrepancies in their daily diet of government and media pronouncements. Those with the temerity to actually question what is unfolding may find themselves casually dismissed as conspiracy theorists; no thinking allowed, end of debate. However, the speed with which the populace has embraced the possible ‘new normal’ of top-down command and control and swingeing restrictions on personal freedom strongly suggests that what we are witnessing is social engineering on an unprecedented scale. It is the expansion of policies, in place for decades, for which we have been primed by propaganda and popular culture alike.

Ep 298LF298 Mark Stavish – Coronavirus Crisis: Perception and Deception

E

Mark Stavish discusses discipline, responsibility, and personal freedom in the age of coronavirus. If anything in these times is not what it at first appears to be, it is the coronavirus crisis. Millions worldwide are struggling to comprehend what is happening, and how the world around them – seemingly so safe, secure, and full of certainties – could have been turned on its head practically overnight. But if your world-view flows only from the gaggle of government, media, corporate, and other trans-global organisations battling to control the narrative, then the present turmoil is simply impossible to fully understand. Behind the rampant media manipulation, mass hysteria, and the deadliest pandemic of all – fear – the key to the current crisis is more likely to be found in the hidden depths of the human psyche and within the forces that lie beyond. This global panic may well serve as cover for massive wealth transfers, draconian attacks on our freedoms, and unprecedented centralisation of power and authority. However, like it or not, the struggle to survive and preserve the power to shape our own future will require a spiritual dimension.

Ep 297LF297 Dmitry Orlov – Coronavirus Crisis: Danger and Opportunity

E

Dmitry Orlov discusses the danger and opportunity of the 2020 Coronavirus crisis. ”’There is a lot happening in the world all at once right now. The entire planet is rapidly reconfiguring itself. The world is begging for a new post-capitalist, post-industrial order to be born…’ – a quote from Orlov’s latest book The Meat Generation, published before the current crisis kicked off. The large scale, hierarchically-organised, and centrally controlled systems in energy, industry, transport, health, banking, politics – and more – upon which our modern societies depend, have once again proven dangerously unstable and inadequate when faced with serious challenges. In the case of the current coronavirus meltdown, the real crisis has been the fear, panic, and craven capitulation with which so many have blindly reacted. Theories and speculation abound as to where all of this is taking us and just what a post-coronavirus future may hold. Based on events thus far, however, the wholesale compromise and loss of freedoms of speech, association, assembly, and travel, and the right to choose in health care, appears entirely possible. Whatever happens, a comprehensive return to ‘business as usual’ seems highly unlikely. The planet is indeed being reconfigured, in ways that are only just beginning to make themselves known.

Ep 296LF296 Dave Gardner – Population and the Future of the Planet

E

Dave Gardner of World Population Balance asks: Are there too many people on planet Earth? The very subject of human population is so controversial and even taboo that it is almost impossible to discuss in any meaningful or objective manner. Those who favour population reduction are often cast as Malthusian misanthropists by their opponents, while those who believe that the Earth can easily support current and future population growth are dismissed as naive, irresponsible, and even ecocidal. Whatever the case, we are facing a maelstrom of serious environmental crises, including climate disruption, species extinction, deforestation, fresh water shortages, and fertile soil depletion. The sheer size of the human enterprise is a major root cause of all these. Have we simply outgrown the planet? Smarter, more sustainable practices are a necessary part of the solution, but we may never solve these crises over the long term without also scaling back the size of our population. But questions remain: Can this be done without coercive or draconian measures? What impact would a smaller population have on the economy and standards of living? Can we learn anything from countries whose populations are already in decline? And, in our consumerist culture of ever greater growth and yet more things and stuff, are we really ready for a new way of being?

E

James Howard Kunstler and I discuss the current coronavirus crisis and his latest book Living in the Long Emergency: Global Crisis, the Failure of the Futurists, and the Early Adapters Who Are Showing Us the Way Forward. In his 2005 book, The Long Emergency, Kunstler described the global predicaments that would pitch industrial civilization into political and economic turmoil in the 21st century – the end of affordable oil, climate irregularities, and flagging economic growth, to name a few. Now, he returns with a book that takes an up-close-and-personal approach to how real people are living now – surviving The Long Emergency as it happens. Living in the Long Emergency could hardly have been published at a more opportune moment, as governments worldwide and billions of citizens grapple with an unprecedented global crisis. Despite constant words of warning from Kunstler and others with a similarly keen sense of history and proclivity for joined-up thinking, we remain woefully unprepared for any disruption to the complex systems on which industrial civilization depends. More likely than not, however, we will eventually emerge blinking into the glaring light of an uncertain new dawn.

Ep 294LF294 Jasun Horsley – Transhumanism and the Colonisation of Space

E

Jasun Horsley discusses transhumanism and the colonization of space. The talk draws upon Jasun’s book Prisoner of Infinity – UFOs, Social Engineering, and the Psychology of Fragmentation. Despite the idealism and hope surrounding the first manned space flights and missions to the Moon, in their wake the drive to explore and colonise space seemed to stall, or even regress. Dreams of cities on Mars and beyond appeared to be just that – dreams. Today, however, the space race is on again like never before, with Elon Musk’s SpaceX, Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin, and Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic just three of the high-profile companies leading the charge. But what lies behind this flurry of activity? Are the forces driving technological development changing? Then we have the technologies of transhumanism such as artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, biotechnology, cybernetics, cloning, mind-machine melding, mind-uploading, and others. The nexus between these and the new space race is highly significant, and not a little sinister. Transcend the body, escape the Earth, achieve immortality among the stars, and all those nasty political, economic, and social problems simply dissolve. But walking away won’t be so easy, especially when our predicament has its origin in the way we think about ourselves, each other, and our place in the world. This entire agenda is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of life, death, and consciousness, a new understanding of which is urgently needed if our species is to survive.

Ep 293LF293 Anthony Peake – The Hidden Universe of Non-Human Intelligences

E

Anthony Peake discusses his book The Hidden Universe – An Investigation Into Non-Human Intelligences. Since our very beginnings, human beings from all civilisations across the earth have encountered the ‘others’ – intelligent, self-motivated beings that are clearly not human in their origins. Peake offers a comprehensive survey of such otherworldly visitors, from gods, angels, demons and djinn to hobgoblins, poltergeists and ghosts, to UFOs and aliens. In addition to detailing the history of these encounters, the author attempts a bold explanation of the true nature of these beings. He explores the increasingly frequent entheogen encounters facilitated by substances such as ayahuasca, DMT, and LSD, as well as the entities encountered by individuals suffering from Alzheimers-related Charles Bonnet Syndrome, young children’s so-called ‘invisible friends’, and the seemingly independent beings met during lucid dreaming and near-death and out-of-body experiences. This book continues Anthony Peake’s work in developing a completely original model of reality based upon an amalgamation of ancient belief systems, subjective human experiences of the extraordinary, and the latest discoveries of neurology, neurochemistry, quantum mechanics, and cosmology. This model proposes that consciousness, far from being simply an accident of evolution, is the fundamental source of the material universe. It suggests that at its most basic level everything that is seemingly physical is rendered into existence by consciousness.

Any thinking person watching television or reading a newspaper today is bound to wonder if humanity has lost its mind, and in a way, we have. What can only be described as mass psychosis is sweeping the world with gathering force, unhinging individuals, institutions, and nations alike. A vicious circle driven by propaganda, fear mongering, and media manipulation makes us increasingly vulnerable to more of the same, while the stupefying circus of mindless entertainment and staged spectacles leaves us in no condition to truly think for ourselves. Is it possible that any of this madness can be traced to repressed trauma or scars in the collective unconscious? If the human psyche is somehow incubating a mental or spiritual virus, it might account for our self-sabotaging and at times suicidal insanity. Maybe the myths about ancient archetypes and entities such as the Archons and Ahriman actually hold seeds of truth. Whatever the case, accelerating technology and expanding interconnectedness are lending the term ‘viral’ a darker hue, threatening to turn even more of us into clones, drones, and automatons.

Ep 290LF290 Mitch Horowitz – The Power of Sex Transmutation

E

Mitch Horowitz discusses his book The Power of Sex Transmutation. (Stream / download audio at bottom of page) For most people, sex is simply about pleasure or procreation, and sometimes a bit of both. But what if I told you that it holds the potential to transform your entire life and help you achieve your ultimate hopes, dreams, and ambitions? A man will do almost anything, go to almost any lengths, to get a woman he truly desires. Drive, determination, creativity, and ingenuity suddenly appear to be at his fingertips as he pursues his passion. Now, imagine just what might be possible were he to apply this energy and imagination to other parts of his life. Sexual desire is the most powerful urge most of us will ever experience. Over eighty years ago, positive thinking pioneer Napoleon Hill in his seminal self-improvement book Think and Grow Rich set out ways to transform this desire and use it in pursuit of your goals. He called this technique Sex Transmutation. It was and remains the most intriguing, powerful, and misunderstood idea in Think and Grow Rich. Listen on and discover one of the least discussed dimensions of how your thoughts and intention help shape your reality.

Ep 289LF289 Brian Francis Culkin – The Meaning of Trump

E

Brian Francis Culkin discusses his book The Meaning of Trump. The election of Donald Trump was a shattering moment for the political sensibilities of America, immediately sending the country into a frenzy of rage, disbelief, and invective, amid a never-ending media circus that has bordered on the absurd, and arguably crossed the line. But the question still remains: what does it all mean? The Meaning of Trump is an ideological critique that sees the election of Donald Trump as a completely natural progression to the general trajectory of digitized technologies, neoliberalism, and a new breed of financialized capitalism; destructive global forces that know no party affiliation or national boundary. Although Donald Trump is undoubtedly the symptom that has exploded to the surface after nearly four decades of failed policies and broken promises by both Republicans and Democrats alike, his election can also be seen as an existential fork in the road for both the United States and even humanity itself. What path is taken still remains to be seen. Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’ Listen to more shows on Legalise Freedom Dot Com.

Ep 288LF288 Dominic Frisby – Daylight Robbery: Tax, Freedom and the Future

E

Dominic Frisby discusses his book Daylight Robbery: How Tax Shaped Our Past and Will Change Our Future. The world around us appears to be falling apart. Political discord, protests and social unrest, riots and wars, climate chaos, and economic collapse. Incompetent, corrupt, or tyrannical governments often have a hand in this gathering global disorder, funded to great extent by extracting money from their populations under threat of force. Death and taxes are our inevitable fate. We’ve been told this since the beginning of civilisation. But what if we stopped to question our antiquated system? Is it fair? And is it capable of serving the needs of our rapidly-changing, modern society? Daylight Robbery traces the origins of taxation, from its roots in the ancient world, through to today. It explores the role of tax in the formation of our global religions, the part tax played in wars and revolutions throughout the ages, and why, at one stage, we paid tax for daylight or for growing a beard. Ranging from the despotic to the absurd, the tax laws of the past reveal so much about how we got to where we are today and what we can do to build a system fit for the future.

Ep 286LF286 Ben Reynolds – The Coming Revolution: The Death of Capitalism?

E

Ben Reynolds discusses his book The Coming Revolution: Capitalism in the 21st Century. Radical advances in automation, robotics, and computer technology have thrown millions out of work and will only continue to do so in the years to come. At the same time, cheap, individually-accessible machines will wrestle for primacy with both advanced, highly-automated factories and sweatshops alike, ultimately eroding the dominance of industrial production. Economic growth is slowing down, and it is not going to speed up again. The pressures fueling today’s global unrest will not go away and are only going to get worse as wages stagnate, solid employment becomes harder to find, and cuts to social benefits continue. Competing radical and reactionary ideologies will clash as political consensus crumbles and the world searches for answers to these challenges. In its opening decades, the 21st will be a century of war and revolution. By the end of the 21st century, capitalism may be consigned to the history books. Despite the seeming darkness of our era, our future is filled with incredible possibilities. A world of freedom, beauty, and abundance, where poverty and tyranny are merely distant memories for our grandchildren, is possible.

Ep 284LF284 Mitch Horowitz – How Thoughts Become Reality

E

Mitch Horowitz discusses his book The Miracle Club – How Thoughts Become Reality. Following in the footsteps of a little-known group of esoteric seekers from the late 19th Century who called themselves ‘the Miracle Club’, Mitch Horowitz shows that the spiritual wish fulfilment practices known as the Law of Attraction, Positive Thinking, ‘The Secret’, and the Science of Getting Rich actually work. Weaving these ideas together into a concise, clear formula, with real-life examples of success, he reveals how your thoughts can impact reality and make things happen. Horowitz explains how we each possess a creative agency to determine and reshape our lives. He shows how thinking in a directed, highly focused, and emotionally charged manner expands our capacity to perceive and transform events, and allows us to surpass ordinary boundaries of time and space. He explains what works and what doesn’™t, illuminating why and how events bend to our thoughts. Along the way we also consider synchronicity and psychic powers, and the possible mechanics behind such phenomena. If time and space are not what they appear to be but are in fact non-linear and malleable, then the creative power of mind and thought in shaping reality increasingly seems not only possible but inevitable. The inescapable conclusion is that there is a non-material realm which interacts with and affects the material world. Consciously or unconsciously, in each and every moment we are steering the course of our lives with our intentions, our desires, our emotions. Individually and collectively, the implications of this are vast. From the personal to the planetary, what we think matters.

Ep 283LF283 Brian Keating – Imagining the Impossible

E

Brian Keating, author of Losing the Nobel Prize: A Story of Cosmology, Ambition, and the Perils of Science’s Highest Honor, discusses the role of imagination and creativity in shaping the world around us and our future. As perhaps the most curious species on Earth, from the very beginning we have been driven to probe the mysteries of our planet, uncover its inner workings, and use this knowledge for our benefit. From this quest grew the many branches of human knowledge and expression, including science, religion, and art. But the commercialisation of science and art and the marginalisation of spirituality has led to a myopic, materialistic view of what can and what should be done in wider society, a situation exacerbated by the mainstream education system which churns out specialists or drone workers, often for jobs that are rapidly disappearing or already gone. More than ever, there is now an urgent need to reinvigorate imagination and creativity from the ground up, dissolving the artificial barriers between fields of study, branches of knowledge, and modes of thinking. The extent to which this can or will be achieved will have an enormous impact on how we face and attempt to deal with the huge political, social, economic, and environmental challenges facing humanity. Endless human progress is by no means guaranteed, and if we are to overcome our most pressing problems, we will need to test the limits of our imagination and of the possible like never before.

Ep 282LF282 Erik Davis – High Weirdness: Drugs, Esoterica, and Visionary Experience in the Seventies

E

Erik Davis discusses his book High Weirdness – Drugs, Esoterica, and Visionary Experience in the Seventies. A study of the spiritual provocations to be found in the work of Terence McKenna, Robert Anton Wilson and Philip K. Dick, High Weirdness charts the emergence of a new psychedelic spirituality that arose from the American counterculture of the 1970s. These three authors changed the way millions of readers thought, dreamed, and experienced reality, but how did their writings reflect, as well as shape, the seismic cultural shifts taking place in America? In High Weirdness, Davis – America’s leading scholar of high strangeness – examines the published and unpublished writings of these vital, iconoclastic thinkers, as well as their own life-changing mystical experiences. He explores the complex lattice of the strange that flowed through America’s West Coast at a time of radical technological, political, and social upheaval to present a new theory of the weird as a viable mode for a renewed engagement with reality. We ask ‘What is real?’, ‘What is normal?’, ‘What are facts?’, ‘What is truth?’ and find that reality is unstable and that the world is considerably more malleable than it at first appears.

Ep 281LF281 Dean Radin – Real Magic: The Secret Power of the Universe

E

Dean Radin discusses his book Real Magic – Ancient Wisdom, Modern Science, and a Guide to the Secret Power of the Universe. The principles that form the scientific materialist world-view assert that everything can be understood like the gears of a clock, and that events unfold forward in time in a strictly orderly fashion. They tell us that everything can be described with real properties that exist in ordinary space and time and that everything, including mind and consciousness, consists of matter and energy. It makes no sense to call anything ‘spiritual’, ‘non-physical’ or ‘immaterial’. We are told that everything is made up of a hierarchy of ever-smaller objects, with subatomic particles at the bottom. However, according to the author, who has spent the last forty years conducting controlled experiments exploring psychic phenomena, the scientific materialist world-view is woefully incomplete and furthermore, scientific evidence for a reality beyond this world-view exists. The picture that is emerging is of a reality where the entire Universe is interconnected, and where there is only one consciousness, which is fundamental, and which underlies everything, including the everyday materialist world that so many of us take to be all there is.

Ep 280LF280 Bernie Taylor – Are We Alone in the Cosmos?

E

Bernie Taylor asks Are We Alone in the Cosmos? Human self-awareness and contemplation of past, present, and future appear to make us unique among life on Earth and within its solar system. But are we unique within the wider galaxy or even the entire universe? The Drake Equation suggests that the cosmos should be teeming with intelligent life, so why have we yet to make contact? While there are plenty of anecdotal accounts of alien encounters, no concrete evidence truly open to public scrutiny has yet emerged. The Fermi Paradox cites many possible reasons why we have yet to discover extraterrestrial life. Perhaps, like us, intelligent alien species lack the capacity for interstellar travel. Maybe ET has avoided contact so that we evolve without outside interference. It could even be that humans are regarded as pathologically destructive and that contact with Earth could endanger life elsewhere. Perhaps it is in the nature of intelligent life to destroy itself before it can expand to other worlds. This grim scenario sounds a lot like where humanity finds itself in the early 21st century. However, if no intelligent life exists or has ever existed anywhere else in the universe, it is imperative that we halt our apparent death drive and find a way to live in balance with what will almost certainly be the only planet we ever inhabit.

Ep 277LF277 Jasun Horsley – UFOs, Trauma, and Hacking the Human Psyche

E

Jasun Horsley discusses his book Prisoner of Infinity – UFOs, Social Engineering, and the Psychology of Fragmentation. Prisoner of Infinity examines modern-day accounts of UFOs, alien abductions, and psychism to uncover a century-long program of psychological fragmentation, collective indoctrination, and covert cultural, social, and mythic engineering. Whether it is the forces of God, government, aliens from outer (or inner) space, or the incalculable effects of childhood sexual trauma on the human psyche, premature contact with these forces compels us to create ‘crucial fictions’. Such semi-coherent mythic narratives make partial sense out of our experience, but in the process turn us into the unreliable narrators of our own lives. Taking UFOS and the work of ‘experiencer’ Whitley Strieber as its departure point, Prisoner of Infinity explores how beliefs are created and perceptions are managed in the face of the inexplicably complex forces of our existence. While keeping the question of a non-human and/or paranormal element open, the book maps how all-too-human agendas (such as the CIA’s MK Ultra program) have co-opted the ancient psychological process of myth-making, giving rise to dissociative, dumbed-down Hollywood versions of reality. The New Age movement, UFOs, alien abductions, psychism, psychedelic mind expansion, Transhumanism, the Space Program – what if they are all productions devised by committee in dark rooms to serve social, political, and economic goals that are largely devoid of true substance or meaning? Through an exacting and enlivening process of social, cultural and psychological examination and excavation, Prisoner of Infinity uncovers the most deeply buried treasure of all.

Ep 276LF276 Ian Hughes – Disordered Minds: Politics and Psychopaths

E

Ian Hughes discusses his book Disordered Minds: How Dangerous Personalities Are Destroying Democracy. Of all the personality disorders recognised by psychiatrists, only three pose a very real danger to society. The influence of psychopaths and those with narcissistic and paranoid personality disorders is seen every day: in bullying in schools and workplaces, in violence against women and children in their homes, in random assault and murder, in international criminal networks, in corporate fraud and corruption, and in decisions made every day by leaders around the world who put their own power ahead of the common good. Their malign influence is also evident in times of war, revolution, and societal breakdown when they are given free reign to express their destructive natures. How has this disturbing fact remained hidden for so long? The answer is that many factors combine to provide camouflage – a mask of sanity – for pathological individuals. Science has only recently begun to properly characterise and diagnose these disorders, and it is also deeply ingrained within us to assume that everyone around us who seems normal is just like us, cognitively, emotionally, and otherwise. Few in the media or general public are willing or able to ask whether some of those wielding enormous power are dangerously psychologically unstable. But the mental health of those in control is a vital issue – an elephant in the room – that we must face sooner rather than later. Cascading political, economic, and environmental crises are currently converging to create a perfect storm in which individual mental disorders can become mass psychosis, with catastrophic consequences for us all.

Ep 275LF275 Graham Phillips – Wisdomkeepers of Stonehenge: Part Two

E

Graham Phillips discusses his book Wisdomkeepers of Stonehenge – The Living Libraries and Healers of Megalithic Culture. This is a two part interview. Part one is here. Stonehenge is just one of thousands of stone circles erected throughout Britain and Ireland for over 3,000 years. How did this building tradition survive for so long, over such a large area, and with such complexity and uniformity, when the people of the British Isles lived in separate, isolated communities and left no evidence of central leadership or obvious communication network? Graham Phillips argues that these stone circles are evidence of preservation of ancient knowledge that held together a scattered society. With stones aligned to the sun, moon, and stars, these ancient monuments enabled the precise timings necessary for practical as well as ceremonial purposes. He explains how the megalithic priesthood possessed knowledge well beyond their time and because they had no form of writing, developed phenomenal memory techniques to preserve their knowledge over many generations, resulting in a class of wisdomkeepers that were the living libraries of their culture. Drawing upon the latest archaeological excavations and overlooked historical source material, Phillips reveals that the megalithic culture survived far longer than previously thought and that the people who held it together were an enigmatic shamanic sect ultimately called the Druids. Uncovering the secrets of ancient megalithic culture and the purpose of their mysterious stone circles, Phillips contends that all the evidence has now been gathered to unlock the secrets encoded in the stones.

E

Ronald Green discusses his book Time to Tell: A Look at How We Tick. Whether or not time is ultimately an illusion, the matrix of clocks, calendars, timetables and deadlines which regiments our lives is not what it at first appears to be. We frequently experience objective clock time very differently from the subjective time which marks our inner lives, that bittersweet feeling of time flying when you’re having fun. Quantum physics is also suggesting some perturbing possibilities about the nature of time: do past, present, and future somehow co-exist? Can events in the present or even the future affect past events, so-called retrocausality? Is there really such a thing as the present moment? Can anything exist outside of time? As the days, months, and years roll by, and our daily routines trundle along, we don’t care to think a great deal about time, its inexorable march little more than a one-way trip towards the annihilation of everything we are. And yet, we are creatures of time and in time, dwelling on the past, worrying about the future, all the while being encouraged to ‘live in the moment’.

Peter Strother discusses his book Spiritual Beings or Economic Tools – Just Who Are We? In much of the modern world we are trapped in a loop of work, consume, sleep, repeat. Those conscious of this soul-destroying cycle are often even more dejected and disillusioned than those who blindly bow to the demands of consumerist culture, pursuing desires which are not their own, slaves to the opinions of others, and more afraid of the unknown than of hollow, haunted subsistence. Empty and unfulfilled, billions trudge wearily towards a death subconsciously feared but still denied throughout a life deemed to be devoid of either meaning or purpose. But in the early 21st Century, converging economic, political, social and environmental crises are making the grinding routine of business-as-usual increasingly impossible. Frustration and broken promises are boiling over in increasing unrest, violence, and destruction of both the system and the self. The first steps towards breaking free of the tyranny of comfort and complacency are self-awareness, self-knowledge, and self-mastery, all of which are actively discouraged in the matrix of mindless media, digital distractions, junk food, and instant gratification.

Ep 269LF269 Mike Clelland – Owls, Synchronicity and UFOs

E

Mike Clelland discusses his book The Messengers: Owls, Synchronicity, and the UFO Abductee. One of the most original books ever written on UFOs, The Messengers will make any thoughtful person ask fundamental questions about the nature of reality itself. More than any work in recent memory, it successfully ties the UFO phenomenon not simply to possible extraterrestrial intelligences, but to synchronicities, ancient archetypes, dreams, shamanistic experiences, magic, personal transformation, and death. Clelland has gathered together compelling and persuasive accounts from hundreds of people who have had UFO sightings and apparent abduction experiences in conjunction with absolutely bizarre experiences with owls, creatures which have held a place of reverence and mystique throughout history. The accounts of these people – including those of Mike himself – suggest undeniable synchronicities at work. That is, coincidences that are highly meaningful to the persons involved. So meaningful in some cases that they seem staged for that person, and usually in a manner that only that person could decipher. These accounts pose a serious challenge to the standard scientific materialist view of reality, one controlled by a comprehensible chain of cause and effect, in which matter is all that matters, and in which there are no unseen intelligences at work. As one goes through account after account of these meticulously documented experiences, our conventional view of reality appears ever more incomplete.
