Show notes

This episode not only discusses the power of psilocybin to help us develop the skill of confident vulnerability but also what such a psychedelic lesson might mean for masculinity in the cultural context of inner-city Detroit.

To take us through this discussion, we welcome Ser Moudou Awa Balla Baqui, aka Baba Moudou Baqui, a lifelong citizen of Detroit's Highland Park and third generation metaphysician.

YIKES! Did I accidentally host an Anti-Semite? ~ ATTMind 86:5 Nov 16, 2018

Show notes

So, I recently got an email from a listener of the show regarding a recent episode of the podcast featuring Bernhard Guenther. The emails directed me to a couple of essays off his website from 2013/14 that the listener claimed had anti-Semitic views and propagated holocaust denial and wondered if I knew about it and what I would do about it.

This video is ultimately what I did about it.

Altered States Of Entrapment | Bernhard Guenther ~ ATTMind 86 Nov 09, 2018

Show notes

Bernhard Guenther joins us on Adventures Through The Mind to talk about the 'topic of all topics', the hyperdimensional ecology of entities that influence human life. Furthermore, he takes a deep look at the actual legitimacy of psychedelic 'healing', and its potential dangers insofar as false dawn syndrome, spiritual bypassing, and entity attachment or possession.

Despite how far out these topics may seem, I don't doubt you will find some deeply grounded and practical perspective in this interview, especially in regards to the modern ayahuasca-healing movements

Mapping Consciousness With High Dose LSD | Christopher Bache ~ ATTMind 83 Oct 12, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, Christopher Bache and I explore the research and exploration that underpins Diamonds from Heaven: a twenty-year journey into 70+ high dose LSD experiences done with the explicit intent to map Consciousness.

We talk about why Bache chose this path, what it was like, and what here learned from it all about Consciousness, psychedelic consciousness, and what it means to be a finite human, nested in a complex web of relationships, defined by its dualist dance for meaning.

Psychedelic Feminism | Zoe Helene ~ ATTMind 81 Sep 14, 2018

Show notes

Zoe Helene of Cosmic Sister comes on the show to talk about Psychedelic Feminism

"The ultimate goal of psychedelic feminism is to promote rapid (cultural) evolution from within—starting with women. Females make up half the human population. We know it's way past time we stepped up and took our share of the decision-making power—and yet we haven't. Why is that? What are the "whys?" and what can we do to work through them? My work with women and psychedelics is about exploring those complex, multifaceted, interconnected "whys?" with sacred plants and fungi, our evolutionary allies from the natural world." – Zoe Helene

Everyone Is A Shaman | Matthew J. Pallamary ~ ATTMind 79 Aug 17, 2018

Show notes

Everyone is a shaman.

That is a bold statement and is not without nuanced caveat and discretion. However, is is the claim of our guest for this episode of Adventures Through The Mind.

Matthew J. Pallamary is a filmmaker and a highly accomplished, multi-award-winning author of 13 books, ranging from historical novels, personal memoirs, and even a non-fiction book on the art and practice of writing itself. His work is highly psychedelic and emergence for his multi-decade experience in Shamanism practices and the psychedelic subculture, on which he extensively lectures.

He is on the show to share what he has learned from his decades participating in shamanism and shamanic practices, especially in the modern context of charlatans, appropriation, and rampant abuse of power.
