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!

Judy Tsafrir is one of those rare beings with both a rigorous conventional education and a deeply spiritual perspective. After a spiritual awakening in her late 40s, doctor Tsafrir began to integrate spiritual practices into her life and her medical practice in a multitude of ways. She has developed a multidimensional approach to healing that seeks to put the soul back into psyche.

As above, so below -- Don’t mistake it for a new age platitude. It's an adage that has inspired seekers for centuries and is being proven true by cutting-edge science.

Full video version here 👈

But it’s more than an idea, it’s personal. It’s a portal that transports the psyche to deep hidden wisdom and a felt sense of interconnected mystery. In this transmission, I invite you to enter that portal portal with me. We'll explore the ancient origins of the idea from Plato's Timaeus to the Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus. We'll discuss how Carl Jung brought it down into the psyche through synchronicity and archetypes. We'll see how science seems to be proving it as literally true.

Tom Matte enters the mind meld!

Tom was a successful advertising executive with a family, but it all came crashing down.

After a battle with substance abuse and an intense bender, Tom had a psychotic break and lost everything. He eventually recovered, reconciled with his family, and got his business back on track, but the story doesn’t stop there. Even after over a decade of sobriety and being a functioning member of society, something about Tom’s perception changed permanently. He’s able to see and interact with what seem to be hidden layers of reality. He sees what appear to be holographic projections, mathematical objects, fields, higher geometry, and, yes, beings. 

Tom calls this mode of perception “upsight.” But these aren’t just claims — Tom’s brain and abilities have been studied. In fact, there’s a paper undergoing the peer review process that seems to verify that Tom is interacting with something strange.

Author, Bob Peck returns to the mind meld!

In this one, we explore the highly suppressed, even persecuted wisdom of the so-called Gnostics. What was their philosophy and metaphysical outlook? Who are the movement's major figures? Why did religious authorities attempt to destroy any trace of their existence? What wisdom do they still have to offer us today? Why was Carl Jung so fascinated by the Basilides of Alexandria (an important gnostic figure)? We riff on all of the above.

Bob Peck is the author of Original Sin Is a Lie, which is out now.

Neuroscientist and author, Bobby Azarian returns to the mind meld!

Video Episode Here 👈

He’s the author of Romance of Reality, How the Universe Organizes Itself to Create Life, Consciousness, and Cosmic Complexity. It (and this episode) is a deep dive into complexity theory, consciousness, cosmic evolution and what Bobby calls poetic meta-naturalism: The idea that the universe is not a product of randomness, but an iterative, directed evolutionary creativity. This natural creativity, Bobby argues, seeks to complexify, connect and become more conscious.
