🥰 Support TED and join the community on Patreon The great RandallCarlson enters the mind meld! [ Get your limited edition copy of Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition Here: https://tinyurl.com/brunoTED ] Are ancient megalithic structures evidence of an even older, more advanced breakaway civilization? Is this civilization the progenitor of ancient esoteric knowledge? Are they responsible for modern day UFO phenomena? Can we rediscover their lost sacred technologies? Randall Carlson joins me to muse about all of the above and more. Randall Carlson is a polymath, researcher, master builder, architectural designer, and 32nd degree Freemason. For decades he’s explored the mysteries of ancient civilizations, sacred geometry, megalithic architecture, symbolism, and esoteric traditions. Known for his deep dives into hidden history and lost knowledge, Randall weaves together science, mythology, and philosophy to uncover the wisdom encoded in our ancestors’ monuments and myths. His work challenges conventional timelines, asking whether advanced cultures once flourished and left behind a legacy of geometry, architecture, and cosmology that still shapes us today.

Sean Webb enters the mind meld! Sean experienced a life altering awakening experience in which he felt his consciousness leave his body, encounter an overwhelming intelligence, merge with the universe and return with a transformed understanding of reality. The message was clear: consciousness is the fundamental fabric of existence. Sean’s journey eventually weaves through the mysterious intersection of UFO phenomena, psi, and altered states of awareness. How are mind and matter connected? Could UFO encounters be as much about consciousness as they are about craft? And what does that mean for humanity’s place in the cosmos? About Sean Webb is an author, seeker, experiencer.

Throughout his legendary Silicon Valley career, he developed core technologies behind modern computing, earning the National Medal of Technology and Innovation. But in 1990, a spontaneous mystical experience shattered his materialist worldview and set him on a radical new path. Since then, Faggin has turned his attention to the mystery of consciousness, proposing a groundbreaking model in which subjective experience is not a byproduct of the brain, but foundational to reality; a reality that is quantum, holographic, and creative. 🥰 Support TED and join the community on Patreon 🎧 Sub and Review on Apple Podcasts 🎧 Sub and Review on Spotify 👁Watch and Subscribe on Youtube 🌀 Website Learn more about your ad choices.

🥰 Support TED and join the community on Patreon Video version here (highly recommended) Picture this, you’re leading a normal life. You’ve got a good career, a family, and then, without warning, you start having spontaneous out-of-body experiences. You start traveling to strange realms, encountering other intelligences, experiencing worlds you swear are just as real as this one. This is exactly what happened to broadcasting executive Robert Monroe in the late 1950s. Before Bob knew it, he found himself in the midst of a truly life-altering multidimensional journey that would change the course of everything for him and thousands of others. In his book, Journeys Out of the Body, Monroe documents dozens of these out-of-body experiences, but there’s one chapter that's always stood out to me. In it, the narrative takes a dark turn. In this chapter, after years of explorations beyond the body, Monroe establishes surprising connections between out-of-body experiences, consciousness and the UFO phenomenon. He also reflects-- What does it all mean? Why are we here? Who—or what—is running the show? And what are they after? His answer to these questions is not pleasant. It involves something far wiser than we are. Something cold and something ancient. Something that wants to harvest us as resources. 🥰 Support TED and join the community on Patreon 🎧 Sub and Review on Apple Podcasts 🎧 Sub and Review on Spotify 👁Watch and Subscribe on Youtube 🌀 Website Learn more about your ad choices.

🥰 Support TED and join the community on Patreon Dr. Michael Levin and Dr. Matthew Segall enter the mind meld! *Video Episode * Dr. Michael Levin is a developmental and synthetic biologist at Tufts University where he’s the Vannevar Bush Distinguished Professor. His groundbreaking research on bioelectricity, morphogenesis, and cognition is reshaping our understanding of how living systems self-organize and regenerate. He explores how cells and tissues communicate through bioelectrical signals, guiding the formation of complex structures without relying solely on genetic instructions. Levin's work suggests that biological development is not purely mechanical but follows invisible organizational principles, akin to the Platonic Forms. By demonstrating how bioelectrical fields encode structural information beyond genetic determinism, Levin’s research hints at an underlying realm of conscious intelligible patterns, challenging reductionist views and opening the door to a Platonic interpretation of biology. Dr. Matthew Segall is an Assistant Professor in the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness Program at California Institute of Integral Studies. He explores the intersections of metaphysics, science, and consciousness often through the philosopher Alfred North Whitehead’s process philosophy. Whitehead, highly influenced by Plato, rejected the static, mechanistic worldview of classical science, instead proposing that reality is composed of dynamic processes, where mind and matter are deeply intertwined. This aligns with the work of Levin, whose research suggests that living systems follow formative principles that transcend mere genetic code—an idea resonant with Whitehead’s notion of eternal objects (akin to Platonic Forms) as guiding forces in the becoming of things. 🥰 Support TED and join the community on Patreon 🎧 Sub and Review on Apple Podcasts 🎧 Sub and Review on Spotify 👁Watch and Subscribe on Youtube 🌀 Website Learn more about your ad choices.

Philosopher, professor, and author, Dr. Gregory Shaw enters the mind meld! Video Episode 👈 Gregory Shaw is the author of Theurgy and the Soul the Neoplatonism of Iamblichus, and his latest, Hellenic Tantra. He's a world-renowned expert on Neoplatonism, particularly the mysterious philosopher-sage, Iamblichus of Chalcis. Unlike his Platonic predecessors (apparently), Iamblichus engaged heavily in ritual esoteric practices. The heart of said practices were mysterious rites known as “theurgy.” A Greek word that translates to something like "god-working." Though no one knows exactly what these practices were, there is a great deal we do know thanks to Iamblichus' extant writings and scholars like Shaw. 🥰 Support TED and join the community on Patreon 🎧 Sub and Review on Apple Podcasts 🎧 Sub and Review on Spotify 👁Watch and Subscribe on Youtube 🌀 Website Learn more about your ad choices.
