Philosopher, professor, and author, Dr. Gregory Shaw enters the mind meld!
Video Episode ๐
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 โtheurgy.โ 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.

In this one, Alex shares more wisdom from his experience in a groundbreaking study at Imperial College London. In it, he was given extended-state, high-dose, intravenous DMT multiple times. His experiences, as you may have heard in our previous conversation, were alien and profound.
In this one, we riff more on the philosophical implications of the experience through a number of lenses. What does the experience tell us about reality, psychology, and meaning-making? What do mind-melting experiences like these mean for the future of spirituality?

Philosopher, Scientist, Author and mystic, Dr. Tom Cheetham enters the mind meld.
Video episode ๐
Like nearly all of my favorite thinkers, Tom holds multiple kinds of wisdom. He has a rigorous academic background in philosophy and science. He even spent years as a biology and environmental studies professor. But, even with all of that technical expertise, Tom still thirsted for something more, something beyond the material. That something more arrived in the form of mythopoetic geniuses like author and psychologist, James Hillman, Carl Jung and, especially, philosopher and author Henry Corbin. The above wizarding triad led Tom to a decades-long on-going obsession with understanding the visionary, and the imaginal. The realm Corbin called the "mundus imaginalis."

Plato's Allegory of the Cave is a powerful tale. Not only is it one of the oldest versions of what, today, we'd call the "matrix" or "simulation" scenario, it's the most practical, prescient, and esoteric. In fact, Plato's cave and the Republic at-large contain occulted layers of meaning that scholars are still discovering and debating about to this day. In this transmission, we'll summarize the tale and do a deep dive into its more esoteric, often missed layers of wisdom.

According to legend, the Tarot may reach back as far as ancient Egypt. Origins aside, the Tarot orbits numerous fascinating historical figures and events. Its archetypal symbolism is incredibly deep and is carefully tailored around major elements of western esotericism. Some of which stretch back to Neoplatonist geniuses like Proclus.
And, oh yeah, there's even a wizard battle or two in this episode!
