If we take a look at the world through the lens of the mundane media, and political propaganda it appears that there is more darkness than light in the world…that there is more chaos, conflict and ill will than there is balance, peace and optimism. But what if a large amount of the mayhem is being caused by only a small percentage of dark disruptors who are here to profit from the pain? This apparent imbalance is by design. Their numbers may be small but their influence is broad, and we must resist falling into cloudiness, confusion and anxiety and instead maintain our connection to our own power, and our own internal guidance system.
In this episode Jost and Leon take a tour down the rocky road of religion and atheism, discuss the true meaning of God, dogma and doctrine, and how our perception of good and evil comes down to our soul individuality and our varying degrees of difference. Jost gets into modern science’s discovery of prayer’s impact on heart and brain function, and how this is a result of not praying to an external source but going within. He also talks about the intelligence of the 5 Organs (Heart, Kidneys, Spleen, Liver, Lungs) and how nourishing them in concert is the key to resisting building health, resisting brainwashing, creating light and forging the path forward. Leon talks about the origins of religious iconography, the architecture of dystopian consumerism (which is a lot more entertaining than it sounds), his strategy for getting out of IKEA alive, and how to get out of a mall, and out of life, without having accumulated too much unnecessary crap.
Jost and Leon also reflect on kangaroo Tai Chi, problem-solving parrots, Vikings, constellations, financial crises, and the the struggle of living for your dreams and values instead of pursuing safety, security and predictability.
The takeaway tip, look to the brightness of the stars within you, and illuminate your own path forward instead of being trapped in other people’s dark version of reality. Light up the darkness.

Are we entering into a completely different reality, peeling off from the old and stepping into the new? Or are we experiencing a split in reality that we can’t yet fully perceive, but that is nonetheless causing it’s fair share of disruptions, disagreements and weirdness? The answer to is yes, to both. If you’ve been experiencing conversations stoppers, aggressive lash outs, ideological rants, and wondering why people can’t seem to see what’s obvious to you, then this is an indication of a true bifurcation in progress.
No matter when the inflection point occurred, we’re well on the way down differing paths, but this is by choice. We can choose to be a part of the machine world, driven by conformity, political views, ideologies and opinions, or we can choose to be driven by - and speak from - the Heart.
In this episode, Jost and Leon talk about our divided world, and how to go about choosing which direction to head in. Jost gets into the journey of Federico Faggin, from inventing the touchscreen to having a spiritual awakening and pursuing consciousness and quantum physics. He also talks about the quantum field of probabilities versus measured reality, what happens when we dwell on words and not meaning, how to move from the unawakened to the awakened ego, the importance of rising for cultivation, and how a true spiritual journey brings that which triggers us into our environment. Leon talks about non verbal communication with cats, the mind numbing experience of discussing mainstream topics, and how starting a sentence without knowing how it ends lets us explore ideas and change our minds, instead of reading from a mental teleprompter.
Jost and Leon also discuss Bashar, Lemuria, galactic contact and voting for aliens, how to offend a master (hint: if they are susceptible to the former they aren’t the latter), and the European salons (no not for hair) where art, ideas and philosophy were openly and spiritedly debated. The age of choice we find ourselves in is really the age of practice, because if we build, cultivate, and do our practice, we’ll make choices automatically and live for meaning, instead of being perpetually entangled in talking points.

What’s your job? Maybe you don’t know yet, maybe you chose something at an early age and stuck with it, or maybe you’ve have had multiple career changes over the course of your life. But you may also feel you have a different job here on earth that goes beyond the constraints of a purely professional existence. The Taoists would say our primary job is to align with the forces of the universe, giving our Heart dominion over our Mind. But since this isn’t a job post you’ll find on LinkedIn, how would you even go about applying?
In this episode, Jost and Leon get into the connection between heart and mind, and how social media, manipulative entities and dark forces can invert this connection and send us down a spiral of analysis, fear, anger and anxiety. The conversation kicks off with a discussion about the right time to drink coffee, and quickly goes down a road of viruses, portals to alternate realities (which we may have already entered), monkeys, chickens, and giraffes (oh my!), and the ever increasing importance of situational awareness. Jost shares insights on how he aligns his daily routine with the Chi Cycle, and the importance of starting the day with practices that cultivate the Heart's energy before engaging with the digital world. He also talks about how quickly social media can become toxic (within minutes), and the necessity of building an internal firewall to safeguard our spiritual health. Leon talks about technological warfare, how both sides of an issue can leave us feeling alone and isolated, and how we're trained to blame nature for our problems. He also talks about the heavy focus on negativity, and the ideas, inspiration and innovation that we need now more than ever.
Jost and Leon also continue their conversation from the previous episode about the world’s largest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider, and what it may have brought into existence in 2012. They also talk about how to ‘zap’ viruses with cosmic energy, transform negativity, and embrace nature instead of fearing it. Now is the time act from the Heart and not the Mind and in doing so accelerate our souls.

It’s yin and yang to the maximum lately… a moment in time where we can see the endlessly profound and the infinitely ridiculous existing side by side. We can choose between channels that probe the nature of reality, deliver new insights and ideas and reveal fascinating discoveries, or we can tune into (and consume) the absurdity of the media and the outside world. This divergence between being illuminated or dimmed has been a long time in the making. Now is the time to decide if we’re going to be prisoners of the past or pioneers of the future, but in order to do so we have to make sure we have a clear connection to the source.
In this episode Jost and Leon discuss how we got to this point and the invisible precursors to these truly wild times. But instead of attempting to make sense (why even bother) of this through the physical and mundane worlds, they instead take a peek outside of the measurements of time and space. Jost gets into the glaringly obvious signals that are telling us to look inwards, the snowball effect of our tech rich, nutrient deficient lifestyles that are interfering with the development of our souls, and the gradual severing of our crucial connection to the cosmic which leaves us open to manipulation and control. This corrosion of connectivity to the source makes it impossible to access anything other than the world we see in front of us - and we therefore become susceptible to its influences. Jost also talks about how this ‘brainwashing’ has nothing to do with our brains but in fact our perceiving agents - our 12 energy Organs - which we have to cultivate at all costs. Leon wonders how many people think the news is real or how many simply tune in for entertainment, what happens when you follow the masses (because sometimes the ‘m’ is silent), and Buckminster Fuller’s invisibly integrating trends. He also talks about existential crises in malls, the reaction cycle, inanimate vs animate objects and why it might be time to flip the board over and play by a different set of rules.
Jost and Leon also discuss relativity and Einstein’s unknown variable (and wonder whether or not he would have been cancelled on social media), the awakening of the tao in modern times, the glory days of the 80’s, yogis, martial arts masters, and an idea for a silent podcast. They also talk time traveling dinosaurs, interdimensional beings, the grace of the animal kingdom, how to turn poison into nectar, and wonder if the Large Hadron Collider has been messing with our reality.
Instead of looking for answers, blaming external factors for what’s happening in the world or trying to pick sides, we need to instead get on our own side and plug back into the source. Time for a little DIY (dao it yourself)!

The broader the spectrum of reality and the wider open the channels of interaction we have with one another, the more difficult it becomes to find people on the same wavelength that we can talk to, trust, and be ourselves around. Like scrolling through radio stations, the more frequencies we have to choose from the harder it becomes to find the right song, at the right time.
In this week’s episode Jost and Leon turn on, tune in, but definitely don’t drop out as they discuss how to get past the static, polarity, and confusion of current times and bring into focus a brighter future. Jost gets into the surprising alignment between the meridians in Chinese medicine, the pyramids of ancient Egypt, chakras, the pineal gland and the zodiac (yep there is one), and how - like the the pyramids - we need to build ourselves on strong foundations if we’re going to be able to handle the relentless intensity of thoughtforms, EMFs, and invasive energies that constantly bombard us. He also talks about the criticality of connecting with the Metal element by rising early, how to establish forcefields, and how nomads and travellers are creating a new future by departing from traditional real estate and instead tapping into the energetics of the land. Leon talks about time slippage, sacred geometry, how the simplicity of creativity is a gateway to the profound, the artificial orchestration of culture in corporations and institutions, and wonders how many times you need to reincarnate in order to finally pay off your mortgage.
Jost and Leon also discuss what would happen if they met Bill Gates in an elevator, the role of people you disagree with, the idea of the ‘rave estate’, unified fields, high-rise living, the importance of getting grounded, and the race towards the new.
The disconnection we’re currently feeling is one of many signs that this is not the way forward. The arcane systems we find ourselves tethered to keep us disconnected from one another and yet centrally controlled, and these centralised networks are showning signs of fragility and volatility. The answer is to build a new internalised network - our own energetic intranet - get connected to the earth, and get connected to truly likeminded people who are ready to set out in search of new frontiers. Saddle up!

Respectful discourses, nuanced conversations, and the ability to explore and express ideas that challenge mainstream thinking seems to be a thing of the past. These days it’s hard to have a conversation without fear of judgement or the feeling that someone is picking a side for you (even if you haven’t picked one for yourself). Ideas have been replaced by ideologies, and as a result extremism, tribalism and the need to constantly fight for the ‘right’ side of an issue keeps us divided and angry at one another. Inflammatory thoughts, words, and actions don’t come out of the blue, and in typical Future Chi fashion we need look no further than within to figure out what’s going on.
In this episode Jost and Leon turn up the heat and get into the role that inflammation plays in how we perceive the world and the reality we create as a result. Like forging steel, accomplishing something worth doing requires heat and stress, but also a cooling and repairing process in order for it to achieve it’s full strength and potential. Burning the old in order to create the new means that we must experience inflammation - but if we remain in that phase of the process without a path forward, things take a turn for the worse. Jost talks about his early experiences with Marxism and how it’s become so unrecognisable that it may as well be called something else (which leads to a brainstorming session). Jost also gets into the process of inflammation from a health, bodybuilding, and traditional Chinese medicine perspective and how to treat this naturally by focusing on Blood production, building new tissues and choosing the right foods and herbs. He also discusses the madness of the dying world and the need to access portals to our higher selves, the importance of transcending emotionality, and how to avoid being entangled in the mundane and negative aspects of life and instead focus on community, sharing, and awakening. Leon talks about the learned-not-felt nature of ideology, the insanity of spray painting Stone Henge to express an ‘environmental’ message, the pointlessness of anarchy without vision, what Darth Vader and the outgoing elites have in common, and what Wim Hoff would have done if he was on the Titanic.
The focus on doom, gloom and the inevitability of the apocalypse takes us closer to that reality, but these are the trappings of the dying world that would rather have us rearrange the chairs on the Titanic instead of being captains of our own ship. If we’re to approach the future with trust, sympathy and understanding then we must be prepared to burn ourselves in our own flame first - to build and temper ourselves - so that we can be a force for good. Don’t ponder the past, or get bogged down by negative people in the present. Our job is to keep cool, and keep going.

If it feels like everything is happening all at once, you’re not alone. The past is colliding with the present in such an intense way that it’s hard not to feel the effects. Disagreements, emotionally charged conversations, war, conflict, and suffering; it’s trauma on every channel and there doesn’t seem to be a way to switch it off. But there’s a powerful way to to turn this trauma into something new.
The pain we’ve experienced over the course of multiple lifetimes is stored in the same way we store data on our phones and computers, and if we don’t clear our cache our system slows down and we find ourselves entangled by old emotions, ideas, and memories. So this week Jost and Leon get busy dropping the f word: forgetting! Jost talks about the baggage we carry with us from our past lives, why we get good or bad vibes from people we’ve only just met, how the power of acupuncture can clear out old data and set us up to create new worlds, and how there are always guides around to help us (and one even pops up during the pod to remind him!) Leon talks about the messages behind the underrated masterpiece Tron: Legacy, the beauty of simplifying complexity through design, and how he totally forgot to have asthma.
Jost and Leon also discuss off-roading in inappropriate vehicles, how to (not) pull a bank job on a skateboard, the future of currency, the 5 elements, spontaneous self becoming, phantom limbs, and how we shouldn’t focus on forgiveness, but rather, forgetting.
Things tend to make sense in hindsight, but we can’t quantify, predict or plan for what comes next because it’s imperceivable. Analysts, historians and experts can’t give us a map for the way forward. Instead of trying to know what’s happening next we have to embrace the unknown, and pave our way forward accordingly. But the first step is to erase the old and bring in the new. Go forget yourself!

In this episode of Future Chi Jost and Leon are broadcasting from their 4th studio location, and what turns out to be Jost’s 11th clinic since starting his practice in 1991. This leads them into the topics of new beginnings, adaptation, improvisation and paradigm shifts, and the importance of creativity when it comes to creating change and resisting the forces of darkness. They also kick things off with a discussion on Terrence Howard’s recent mind bending podcast with Joe Rogan and its implications on technology, spirituality, Newtonian physics, and Cartesian coordinates, and it’s parallels with Taoism and traditional Chinese Medicine.
Jost talks about the importance of knowing and living your true nature, the correlations between dark matter and cosmic chi (hint - they are one in the same), how to merge old knowledge with the new, and how the interaction between elements is more important than their individual properties. Jost also talks about the sharp rise in reactive patterns in people, communicating with ascended masters, and how the higher the state of consciousness we reach the less we’re able to talk about it. Leon talks about the value of being light and nimble when it comes to defeating the bad guys, the rebellious nature of true creativity, and removing yourself from the equation when it comes to picking sides. He also talks about alien cloaking devices and the value of creativity in education.
Jost and Leon also talk about the impact that judgement has on global conflicts, the recent failure of the WHO pandemic treaty, David vs Goliath, St. Germain, using divestment as a tool to create change, and what Spiritual Social Media would look like.
Every day is a chance to be reborn, and now’s the time to have faith in what you can’t see, react less but interact more, detach from judgement and don’t be afraid to wipe the slate clean and start over.

What is real? How do we define real? Is this the real life or is this just fantasy? Thought experiments, debates, and investigations into the nature of reality and whether or not we’re in a simulation have been ongoing for centuries. The further down the technological road we go, the increasingly relevant this discussion becomes. As we bear witness to computer generated worlds indistinguishable from (what we perceive as) reality, the question of illusion vs truth becomes more pressing. What if this is all just a simulation, but not a technological one? What if we aren’t being enslaved by AI overlords but are in fact benefitting from the simulation in order to achieve a higher goal?
In this episode Jost and Leon get real with a lively discussion on simulations, projections, the ‘afterlife’, and how we can stay connected to reality. Leon gets started (predictably) with pyramids and UFOs, and can’t resist referencing his all-time favourite movie The Matrix (which he may or may not have seen over 40 times). He also wonders if we should look at destiny as a rail or a road, and has a mid-podcast realisation that if you’re busy finding and following your purpose, then you’re less likely to stress about the nature of reality and will instead get busy creating it. Jost talks about the Taoist perspective on simulation and the way laughter, love, and experiences of the heart are ways to access base reality and instantly become real. He also talks about the concept of the higher self, the ‘life between lives’ as described by Michael Newton, what theorists, academics and scientists are missing when it comes to understanding the nature of reality, and how the feeling that there is something missing in ourselves is a result of how much soul energy we bring with us from the other side.
Jost and Leon also get into the danger of creating simulations within simulations, how negative forces are attempting to centralise their version of reality, and how decentralisation is the way forward in more ways than one. They also talk about mesh networks, quantum healing, the evolutionary leaps of Tai Chi, bar fights, how to properly experience socks, and how to fill voids in the soul.
That being said, no one can be told what this episode is… you have to listen to it yourself.

The battle between opposing forces is palpable these days. Good and evil, light and dark, left and right…it’s hard to not become embroiled in who’s right and who’s wrong or to be forced to pick a side, and it feels like the future of everything hangs in the balance. But there’s a difference between feeling our way forward and being internally guided to do the right thing, versus being convinced, bullied or scared into subscribing the latest set of rules and ideologies.
The good news is we need opposing forces and polar opposites to create a field of reality to operate within…it’s why we’re here. We need challenges, battles to fight, and various fear factors to ignite our purpose and sharpen our skills, but this can take a wrong turn. Fear can also be weaponised and used to derail our journey through life and seperate us from ourselves.
In this episode Jost and Leon get into all aspects of fear - from a pre-podcast close encounter with a deadly spider to the progression of fear that can lead to anger, hate and ultimately the death of the soul. Jost talks about the confluence of pharmaceuticals, sedentary lifestyles and sugar filled diets that are destroying our bodies, how this detaches us from our inherent ability to heal ourselves, and how anything that is fear inducing must be recognised as a weapon. He also talks about the rise of transhumanism, and how the fear of death and reliance on tech can burn the bridge between us and our higher selves. Leon talks about the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters, Thoth the Atlantean, how to stay on your path despite the people who want to knock you off it, and the amazing abundance of information at our fingertips to help us through this next phase of existence.
Jost and Leon also talk about the prophetic nature of movies, the inverted nutritional value of Twinkies, boxing kangaroos, the turning tide of a mass awakening, the circus of Australian politics, and how the Taoists define the difference between fear and phobia.
When it comes to fear and those who want to control us the next steps are simple: laugh it off, build your spirit, access your own divinity and get strong. The more powerful we become, they weaker they get. Fight the fear!

What will the future bring? What was once an exciting, optimistic and limitless concept has now become something to be anxious about, fear and even criticise. But the future is a journey, not a destination, and while science fiction stories, movies and the design of everyday things often gives us a glimpse of what’s on the horizon, it’s still always tethered to the past. So how do we detach ourselves from outdated modalities and conditioning, ditch the negative baggage and get aboard the future train?
While we don’t know what tomorrow will bring, in this week’s episode Jost and Leon talk about all things past, present and future, and how we all need to play a roll in the redesign of everything - especially ourselves. After a muddy experience with his Mini, Jost gets into the reality of levitation, teleportation and telekinesis which even Western research says is within us all. He also talks about the new paradigms that are needed for us to see what’s already there, the timeless origins of Tai Chi, the need to disconnect from the old and tap into new sources of chi, and the importance of feeling good to create good design from the inside out. Leon discusses the late, great automotive designer Marcello Gandini, how futuristic design is still a reflection of the past, the optimism of the space age, and how we should no longer ask the audience’s opinion on anything.
Jost and Leon also chat about Asimov’s 3 laws of robotics, hoverboards, soul awakenings and the next spiritual revolution, the future of education, the challenges with being a creator, and the dark truth about Star Trek’s teleporters.
If we expect the future to resemble the past we’ll miss opportunities to create the new that’s desperately needed in the world. We can’t overthink it either, we have to just get out there, do it, and feel our way forward. Don’t fear the future, be the future.

The more we attempt to make sense of the world at the moment, the more confusing everything becomes. Up is down, left is right, and it’s feeling a lot like the inmates are running the asylum. But in a mad world is being crazy simply a matter of perspective? What do the words mad, crazy, or insane even mean?
With aspects of physical reality colliding left, right and centre, Jost and Leon get onboard the crazy train to try and decode not just what’s happening, but what we can do about it. Jost discusses his ‘mad’ past as a drug user, smuggler, hippy and outcast and the baffling recent developments in Germany as they simultaneously enter into a ‘pre-war’ phase and legalise marijuana. He also gets into the need to combine Eastern internal energy development with external Western strength training, how the focus on materiality moves us away from both the self and ultimately the soul, and the power of fear as a catalyst for evolution. Leon talks about the thin line between creativity and craziness, and the importance of being yourself when it comes to cultivating and sharing your passion with the world. Jost and Leon also talk about the superpowers of D3, Rupert Sheldrake and the morphogenetic field, Navy SEALs, and the surprising connection between spirituality and survival skills.
The more crazy and unstable things become the more fear and uncertainty increase, but these things are necessary for us to discover who we really are and what we’re capable of. We can’t have an incredible gift without a corresponding weakness or liability, so it’s our job to dig deep, face our fears, and become ourselves.

In this episode, Jost and Leon chew the fat on all things food - from agriculture, permaculture and industrial food production, to superfoods, alcohol, porridge and the mystery and misunderstandings around the topic of dieting.
The conversation kicks off on the topic of our unhealthy and unsustainable system of food production, the current uprising of farmers around the world, and how we must find a way forward that unifies technology, spirituality and our own intelligence. Monocultures and processed food are bad for the ecosystem and bad for our health, but there’s a deeper, internal issue that has to be addressed when it comes to food. Beyond just what we eat, the physical and mental state we’re in when we eat have a huge impact on our health and wellbeing.
Jost talks about the metabolic syndrome epidemic affecting 90% of the world, and how the underlying factor is not just poor food choices but stress and a lack of purpose. Jost also discusses the need to target emotionality before diet, how to see the body as its own permaculture system, the concept of happy foods, and his clinical observations of where vegan and raw diets can lead. Leon chats about the problems with one-size-fits-all solutions and the importance of doing what you can, with what you have, where you are.
Jost and Leon trade their very different experiences with alcohol and have an in-depth chat about what ‘good food’ really is. They also get into the indestructible cars of the 80’s, the correlation between road rage and sandwiches, Jost’s fruit loops breakfast recipe, belly fat, bottled air, and how the beginning of your day dictates the end.
Eating is about unification, not isolation, so it may be time to rethink your relationship with food. Don’t worry, eat happy!

Why do some people see through lies while others go along with them? What makes us either blindly follow the rules or challenge the prevailing narrative? What makes us feel safe, helps us make decisions, and allows us to freely and truthfully express ourselves? Turns out these things are all related and are affiliated with the small and humble amygdala. But what happens when it becomes damaged? What happens when we can’t regulate emotions like fear and anxiety? Inexplicable actions and downright chaos ensues, and this means there may very well be a biological basis for the bizarre behaviour over the past few years.
This week's episode tackles the heady topic of the human brain, with a special focus on the amygdala, which, according to the latest research, has lost its protective layers and is in sharp decline. But in true Future Chi fashion we don’t stay in the head; the rest of the body, mind, and spirit comes along for the ride too.
Jost and Leon discuss not only the insanity of recent years, but the path leading up to it, and how nutrient deficient foods, sedentary lifestyles and mental weakness left many exposed and susceptible to manipulation. Jost talks about the energy Organs in Chinese medicine and how they must work in concert, the need to upgrade our hardware (body) to deal with life’s challenges, and how Earth is the hardest planet in the multiverse to exist on. Leon talks about cerebral warfare, mental immunity, pushovers, and how to avoid internalising the industrial process.
Jost and Leon also talk the repetitive cycle of the broken political system and the imperative for personal responsibility and preparedness when dealing with societal challenges. True unity and the evolution of humankind hinge on our actions, rather than faith in a new leader. They also chat about jazz, James Dean, zombie hordes, mass formation phenomenon, fringe living, invisible amygdala monsters and the brain eating chimera from The Relic movie.
It’s now more important than ever to defend against the fear and negativity that others are spreading, by strengthening your energy armour through how you live: breath work, nutrition, and connecting to the cosmic chi grid. Keep the defences strong, fight off the energy vampires and mindless mobs, and guard your internal world from external chaos. May the chi be with you!

Welcome to Future Chi, where once again we’re broadcasting from a log cabin, on a nature preserve, somewhere in the hills of Queensland, Australia. Off the bat this leads to a reflection on living in isolation, living free of critique, and how to break through the sheath that surrounds our true selves. This reflection on self reliance leads Jost and Leon to get into the topic of true power; where it comes from, how to cultivate it, and how to tell the difference between imitation and authenticity.
Jost discusses our vital essence - or ’Jing’ - in Chinese medicine and its critical role in the foundation of life itself; from fertility, energy, and longevity, to its impact on our impulses and sex drive. Jost also talks about the 3 stages of spiritual practice (and their correlating dimensions), the 5 elements, the 12 meridians, and how this relates to the pyramids, DaVinci’s Vitriuvian Man, Chinese Medicine, gold, and Alexander Shulgin (the godfather of Ecstasy). Leon talks about working things out internally before expressing them externally, the dangers of asking focus groups for advice, and how the open-ended loop of mass manufacturing is a slippery slope into downcycling. He also talks about the emptiness of trying to obtain power by proxy instead of doing the hard work.
Jost and Leon wonder if our physical reality just a prototype, if the Spiritual Hierarchy is considering discontinuing this model, and if so, what comes next? They chat about Elvis, Stalin, and what happens when you're surrounded by yes men, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, global unrest, and cryptocurrency. They also call bullsh*t on the ‘junk DNA’ theory and expose the lack of real power possessed by the ruling class.
Jost and Leon both share their experiences of the last few years and acknowledge all the reasons to be angry, but emphasise the need to ‘hang up the phone’ and move forward. They also discuss the importance of mourning the loss of the old world and allowing grief to take us to a new starting point; discovering our own power. If you have internal power you will always see a solution, you always have options, and you always know what to do. The people trying to manipulate us want us stupid, weak, and unhealthy, but their power is built on false foundations. It’s time to take the power back by taking charge of ourselves and becoming active participants in forging the future.

We’re amidst one of the biggest transitions and most rapid shifts in consciousness we’ve ever seen. Time feels like it’s speeding up (according to quantum physics it’s more than a feeling), and it’s hard to know what to let go of, what to hold on to, and where it’s all headed. It’s time to acknowledge that the old ways are dying and a new reality is emerging.
This week’s episode kicks off amidst the serenity of a nature preserve where Jost and Leon - Inspired by their surroundings - take a moment question the essence of life and society in response to changing times, with the usual Taoist/designer twist. They discuss the perception of time and consciousness across dimensions, peak periods of awakening from Newton’s apple, to the dawn of quantum physics, to the spiritual movement of the 70’s, right up to the current awakening we find ourselves in now. Jost gets into the crossover between quantum physics and Taoism, and how tai chi, meditation, and acupuncture offer an ability to transcend time and space. He also talks about the world’s first jet fighter, the importance of pushing the envelope, and the cosmic mystery of ideas and their origins. Leon talks about the forgotten ages of innovation, the emerald tablets, the Black Knight satellite and the return of supersonic flight.
Jost and Leon also chat about encounters with snakes and kangaroos, Vladimir Putin, Niels Bohr, rebel communities, ancient civilisations and the idea that Atlantis wasn’t a city, but an age. Humanity is in a next-level awakening phase, so it’s time to disrupt manipulative narratives and advocate for the creation of a new reality. With every new idea, paradigm shift, advancement, and breakthrough, there always comes resistance from established structures. Our job is to not be stopped by this, but to break through it. It's not the time to get caught up amongst the fear and frenzy of the old world, but take a huge leap forward into a new one.

Everything is becoming condensed and compressed; between an information overload, rapid increase in stressors and a looming cloud of uncertainty, it feels more and more like something has to give. But in these dark and heavy times it's important to remember that both darkness and heaviness must always give way to light.
In this week’s episode, Leon and Jost light up the dark with a luminous discussion on how to keep the flame lit, and how to use density, compression and adversity to our advantage instead of letting it weigh us down. The heavier things get the more difficult life can become, and if we don’t have a daily plan in place to carve ourselves out and tap into our inner luminosity we’ll get dragged along..and down..by the mundane world. Leon talks in depth about the life of Nikola Tesla and how the trials, tribulations, pain and struggle of invention were necessary for us to reach new levels of innovation and technology. He also talks about the hidden aspects of design, engineering and creativity and the invisible efforts that go into shaping the world around us, the origins of the Audi TT, Yoda’s perspective on Zen Buddhism, and how the film Constantine dealt with the battle of light against dark. Jost connects these themes to Chinese medicine and Taoism, and talks about the magic and effort of forging a bond with your soulmate, the downward spiral of seeking external validation, and the importance of maximising our time in the physical realm so that we can return to the spirit world with something worthwhile. He also talks about his experiences with the emptiness of Hollywood, training under a master in Malaysia, how to maintain a connection to the source through spiritual practice, and how to not care about what people think about you.
Jost and Leon also get into fame, influencers and ego, alchemy, Joan of Arc, the Taoist art of drunkenness, the myth of the 8 hour sleep cycle, the surprising connection between electrical engineering and spirit forces, and Pontiac Firebirds.
In dark, dense and unpredictable times, stay connected to the spirit source, stay creative and remember that the hottest fire forges the strongest steel.

It feels like we’re sailing further and further out into an ocean of weirdness, uncertainty and instability, with positivity and optimism in short supply. In dark times, when the horizon is hard to see, it's easy to lose hope and become entangled in anger, cynicism and negativity. But dwelling in the dark is not what we’re here to do. We’re here to learn, evolve, and grow, and to do that we need to be excited and inspired about the future.
In this episode, Jost and Leon shine a light into the dark with an inspiring chat about the challenging times we find ourselves in, and how the end of one age is the dawn of a new one. Jost talks about the 30th anniversary of his first clinic, the Osiris Health Care Centre, and how his bold leap into the unknown - that coincided with the boom of the Mind Body Spirit festival movement - opened up a new cosmic reality to countless people. He also talks about the Hippy era, the New Age, the cycles of boom, commercialisation and dispersion that these movements go through, and how each pulse wave of change reaches a peak before making way for the something better. Jost also chats about the critical importance of tapping into the source of inspiration and excitement which enters us via the Heart, and how now more than ever creativity, optimism and bravery are the vital tools we need to light the path ahead. Leon chats about the benefits of popular culture and its role in introducing meaning if you’re willing to go beneath the surface, and the undeniable spirit that is conveyed in martial arts films like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. He also talks about the over-academisation of design education and the problems of teaching without knowing, and why analysts are the last people we should trust to guide us into the future.
Jost and Leon also talk about tapping into the pulsating rhythm of the universe, Deepak Chopra vs. Jimmy Barnes, blacksmithing, Bashar and the 5th dimension, Nirvana (the band not the Buddhist concept), hippy surf brands, and the Age of Aquarius. They also talk about how to ride the waves of instability, deal with negative institutions, news and people, and the difference between positive thinking and positive doing.
The body is an instrument of the soul to execute its mission here on earth, so by participating in the physical world we in turn evolve the soul. That participation comes with trials, tribulations and difficult, dark times. Our job is to not be trapped by this, but to boldly go beyond and help bring forth the next age.

Where do we go when we’ve gone too far? After a tumultuous few years have we hit peak weird, peak ideology, peak excess and peak division? Are we at peak civilisation? All signs suggest we’re near a tipping point and a massive shift in consciousness. But every ending brings a new beginning, and pushing the boundaries has been the mainstay of doers, fighters, creatives, philosophers, leaders and agents of change for thousands of years. The inflection point we’re experiencing now - the tip from Yin to Yang - is an opportunity to be architects of the future, not prisoners of the past.
In this episode Jost and Leon reach new heights as they discuss the apex era, peak everything, and paradigm shifts by drawing parallels between design and taoism, technology and spirituality, traditional Chinese Medicine and the future of everything…in typical Future Chi fashion.
Leon delves into the history of automotive design and wonders if the Tesla Cybertruck is the dawn of a new era of design or the death of traditional beauty (or both), how this compares to the gorgeous Citroën DS, and how both are outward expressions of radical innovation in very different ways. He also talks about the past, present, and future of electric vehicles, and what to do now that we have technology that can not only create - but exceed - our vision. Jost joins the dots and discusses how the spark to create comes from the Tao, the ability to create is regulated by Yin and Yang, and how we must always be in the dot of the Yin and Yang - not the mass or mainstream - because this is where the world changing work happens. He also chats about discovering what’s right by doing what’s wrong, the importance of focusing on the inner and not fixating on the outer, how copying success doesn’t work, and how we’re here to act on our ideas - not someone else’s. Jost and Leon also talk about Banksy, Bowie, Zappa and Kraftwerk, the social media recession, how to counteract anti-human and cynical attitudes with creativity and self expression, and the beauty of editing.
The peak we have reached is a chance to see further, to seek danger and to take risks. Be the change you want to see in the world and most importantly, be the dot!

We’re in the midst of a rising mental health crisis, but is there also a crisis of incorrect treatment? What happens when the focus remains on the mental and not holistic aspects of health? A combination of weak guidance, poor quality food, sedentary lifestyles and overuse of medication, minus a constructive, structured, confidence building physical regimen is sending people on a downward spiral. This has devastating ramifications for the future.
But never fear, Jost and Leon are here with a positive mentality on mental health! Jost talks about his recent, baffling experiences with modern mental health professionals, the completely backwards state of ‘inclusive’ treatment, how the western approach to mental health has changed for the worse, and his decades of experience treating the mind through the body. He also talks about the importance of group dynamics, following the critical path of yin and yang, and how a focus on synergy and holism - not isolationism - is crucial to good mental health. Leon wonders about the connection between the second industrial revolution and the emergence of western psychology in the mid 19th century, and the coining of the term mental health in the early 20th century. Jost and Leon also talk about the pros and cons of analogue technology, the inanity of dieting, the right way to cook oats, how to classify coca cola as a substance (and how this relates to James Bond), and the difference between drives and and intent.
If we don’t know how to master our own health, the road ahead will be a rocky one. There’s too many choices and too much stimuli designed to make us unhealthy and take us further away from ourselves. A weak body leads to a weak mind that is susceptible to lies, manipulation, and fear, and now is not the time for any of that. Strong body = strong mind.
