In this thought-provoking episode, join hosts Alex Crowe and James Tripp as they delve into the fascinating topic of magical thinking and scientific thinking. Building upon their previous video on the subject, recorded three and a half years ago, the hosts reflect on how their perspectives have evolved and share new insights gained through their experiences and expanding knowledge.
The conversation revolves around the coexistence of magical thinking and scientific thinking, and the potential benefits and limitations of each approach. Alex and James explore the idea that when one attempts to explain and rationalize away magical experiences, the enchantment and wonder tend to diminish. They emphasize the pragmatic value of magical thinking in certain contexts, highlighting its ability to enhance our engagement with the world and increase the odds of favorable outcomes.
While recognizing the undeniable achievements of science and its impact on technological advancements, the hosts challenge the notion that scientific thinking is the sole legitimate way of understanding reality. They argue that science often incorporates elements of magical thinking, such as the postulation of hypothetical entities, to make sense of complex phenomena. Furthermore, they discuss how being too rational can disrupt the flow state required for magical thinking to flourish.
Alex and James candidly share their personal experiences with shifting between magical and scientific frames of mind, acknowledging that humans naturally oscillate between these modes of thinking. They stress the importance of being open to different ways of organizing reality and acknowledge that what works for one person may not work for another.
While no specific process or methodology for living in a magical state is presented, the hosts discuss the dynamic nature of their own magical thinking practices and how they follow their intuition and adapt to their current inclinations. They caution against overly rigid approaches and highlight the value of exploring different modes of thinking to find what resonates personally.
Join Alex Crowe and James Tripp on this enlightening journey as they delve into the realms of magical thinking, scientific thinking, and the intricate interplay between the two. Gain new perspectives and insights into the nature of reality and discover how embracing different modes of thinking can enrich your own experience.

In this episode James Tripp and Alex Crowe dive into a fascinating discussion about the use of imagination in hypnosis. James, known for his street hypnosis demonstrations, has a unique approach that sets him apart from others in the field. Alex brings up an interesting observation, questioning why James doesn't rely more on imagination when exploring hypnotic phenomena with people.
James acknowledges that he has indeed used metaphors in the past, such as imagining powerful glue spreading between the hand and the table or visualizing a hand levitating with balloons. However, he explains his shift away from relying heavily on metaphors and towards a more streamlined and efficient approach.
As James explains, he focuses on the present moment and aims to elicit a specific response from the individual he is working with. He demonstrates this by describing his current preferred method for a hand stick, instructing the person to place their hand flat on the table and then observing their response as he guides them to imagine their hand sinking into the table.
By emphasizing action and immediate feedback, James feels he can better tailor his approach to each individual's response and engagement. He shares his preference for using language that shapes the moment and elicits a direct response rather than relying solely on metaphors that may not resonate with everyone.
While James acknowledges the potential benefits of metaphors, he highlights the importance of avoiding unnecessary complications or resistance that can arise when asking individuals to visualize specific objects. Instead, he opts for more permissive language, allowing people to imagine the feeling of receiving a heavy object rather than commanding them to visualize a specific item like a bowling ball.
In summary, this thought-provoking podcast delves into James Tripp's evolution away from relying heavily on metaphors and towards a more action-oriented and tailored approach in hypnosis. The conversation between James and Alex offers valuable insights into the use of imagination and language in achieving effective hypnotic outcomes.

You, as I and everybody else, have been indoctrinated with an idea of how we're supposed to achieve success, or attaining anything of value. Things we need to do, and things we THINK we need to do, to be able to get to where we want.
But⦠what are these rarely questioned rules to attaining success? This is what this episode is about.
In this episode James Tripp and Alex Crowe chat to John P Morgan.
JP Morgan went from having to sell his bike to be able to make rent, to owning a four property estate in Hawaii and he did it by having a very unconventional organization of reality.
We find out how he got to Hawaii and how he built his empire, but more importantly, how does he think, and how does he organize his reality? And what can we take from that and bring into our own lives?
This is what we're exploring, the unconventional paths to success.
We also discuss the "quantum physics" behind it, how thoughts create, the effect of your subconscious, and the works of Neville Goddard, James Allen, Napoleon Hill (author of Think and Grow Rich) and more!

Miss Excel makes six figures a day on TikTok. That's over a hundred thousand dollars on a social media platform selling an Excel course. And she claims she's done it through manifestation.
I mean, the law of attraction, like the Secret, you know where you manifest what you want using visualization. You use your mind and your thoughts to bring into reality what you want.
What???
Stop and first ask yourself, what is it that you believe? Are you pro law of attraction and manifestation? Are you against it? Do you think it's all bunk and bull and you know it's just a scam or is it something that you think might work?
Figure it out because this is probably the most important thing that you can understand (if you understand it well) and that will have the biggest impact on your life... but it probably doesn't work the way you think it does.

Do you consider yourself to be βconfidentβ? Or, conversely, are you SEEKING confidence? (Perhaps, like many, believing it to be the answer to all your major problems in life.)
"How can I be more confident?" is without doubt one of the question most commonly asked by those starting out in self development. In this episode Tripp and Crowe unpack the nature of this much sought after 'quality', investigating both its powerful allure AND why seeking it may be just about the worst thing you can do!
Contrary to first instincts, self evolution isn't just about becoming more of what you think you need to be. More often itβs about letting go of old, deeply-held βtruthsβ, thus creating the necessary space for new and unimagined potentials to unfold.
Tune in to this episode to see how you can apply the unique Tripp and Crowe blend of NLP, guerrilla psychology, hypnosis and other βmind techβ to creating more of what YOU want to see coming into your life.
