ACID FOR SQUARES

On this episode of the Acid For Squares Podcast, hosts Tanya Dahl and Cody Blue present this year’s HALLOWEEN SPECIAL, the second installment and final chapter of this year’s Cosmic Confessional Competition. People from around the world submitted their personal encounters with the paranormal, supernatural, extraterrestrial, unexplained, and otherworldly, and Tanya and Cody sit down in a movie theater to watch some of the most chilling submissions together.

For this Halloween Special, we saved the spookiest, scariest, and most unsettling stories for last.

These are firsthand accounts from ordinary people who claim to have experienced something extraordinary. From encounters that defy explanation to moments that completely changed the way someone sees reality, each story offers another glimpse into a mystery far bigger than any one person.

Tanya and Cody watch the selected Cosmic Confessionals, and this time, YOU decide who wins. Leave a comment with your favorite story and speaker. The person whose story receives the most comments will be invited to join Tanya and Cody IN PERSON as a guest on the Acid For Squares Podcast.

As conversations surrounding government disclosure continue, many of the institutions now tasked with revealing information about unexplained phenomena are the same institutions that kept much of the subject hidden, classified, or stigmatized for decades. Maybe real disclosure does not begin with an official announcement. Maybe it begins with people. People coming forward in droves, sharing what happened to them, comparing experiences, challenging the stigma, and realizing they may not be as alone as they once believed.

On this special episode of the Acid For Squares podcast, hosts Tanya Dahl and Cody Blue present the first ever Cosmic Confessional Competition, a worldwide collection of paranormal, supernatural, spiritual, psychedelic, metaphysical, and extraterrestrial experiences submitted by the Acid For Squares community.

Earlier this year, we asked you to send us your most far-out stories. The experiences that changed the way you see reality, challenged what you thought was possible, or left you wondering what exactly is going on behind the curtain of existence. The response was overwhelming. Video submissions came in from people all around the world, with many sharing experiences they’ve never spoken about publicly before.

We received so many incredible submissions to the Cosmic Confessional Competition that we couldn't include them all, and ultimately had to turn this it into two special episodes. Episode 116 explores the more metaphysical, spiritual, psychedelic, synchronistic, and otherworldly side of the unknown, while our upcoming Halloween Special takes things into darker and spookier territory.

For this episode, Tanya and Cody take over a movie theater to watch these submissions on the big screen and share them with the world. From encounters with unexplained forces and altered states of consciousness to spiritual revelations, synchronicities, strange beings, and moments that seem to exist somewhere beyond our ordinary understanding of reality, these are stories told by the people who actually lived them.

And now, YOU decide who wins the Cosmic Confessional Competition.

Watch this episode and our Halloween Special, then tell us in the comments which storyteller had your favorite story. Voting stays open through the end of 2026, and the person with the most votes across both episodes will be invited to join Tanya and Cody as a guest on the Acid For Squares Podcast.

Some stories are strange. Some are beautiful. Some are deeply personal. And some may leave you questioning just how much of reality we actually understand.

Tell us in the comments: Who gets your vote in the Cosmic Confessional Competition?

On this episode of the Acid For Squares podcast, hosts Tanya Dahl and Cody Blue welcome back paranormal investigator Susan Slaughter, known for her work on hit paranormal television shows including Ghost Hunters and Paranormal Caught on Camera. In the spirit of Halloween, Susan joins Tanya and Cody for a very special episode and conducts the first-ever Acid For Squares Séance.

Before the ceremony begins, Susan takes us into the strange and often misunderstood history of the Ouija board, spirit boards, and the Spiritualist movement. She explains how spirit communication became associated with charlatans and controversy, why the Ouija board developed such a dark reputation, and why she believes it can still be a legitimate method of communicating with the other side, even if it is a little archaic compared to some of the newer technologies paranormal investigators have at their disposal today. Susan also explains how spirit communication can potentially provide clarity around paranormal experiences people have struggled to understand.

That’s when things take an unexpected turn. Tanya reveals that the night before filming, she experienced an intense episode of sleep paralysis and saw a mysterious being standing in the corner of the room. As she describes what she witnessed, Susan realizes something unsettling: she saw what appears to be the same entity during a séance of her own the night before. From there, Susan prepares Tanya and Cody for the ceremony, beginning with a pendulum exercise to help entrain the group before moving to the spirit board. Once their hands touch the planchette, things quickly go from strange to downright bizarre. The planchette begins moving rapidly across the board, producing a stream of cryptic messages that Susan, Tanya, and Cody struggle to understand in real time.

What, or who, was trying to communicate with them? Watch until the end, study the messages for yourself, and if you think you can decipher what came through, tell us in the comments what you believe it was trying to say.

On this episode of the Acid For Squares podcast, hosts Tanya Dahl & Cody Blue sit down with Morgue, an ex-Christian turned mystic, esoteric scholar, and researcher of ancient religious and occult traditions, for a deep dive into one of humanity’s oldest mysteries through the lens of one of its most modern: the UFO/UAP phenomenon.

Long before humanity had words like UFO, UAP, or non-human intelligence, ancient cultures were writing about strange beings, otherworldly encounters, hidden realms, divine messengers, and forces seemingly operating beyond ordinary human perception. From the Book of Enoch and the Gnostic Gospels to the Pistis Sophia and other non-canonical and esoteric texts, Morgue explores the striking parallels he sees between ancient accounts of supernatural encounters and what people today describe as the modern UFO phenomenon.

Morgue breaks down what these ancient traditions may tell us about UAP, NHI, and the nature of the phenomenon itself—including why it appears to behave in such strange and often contradictory ways, its relationship to human consciousness, and what he believes non-human intelligence ultimately wants from humanity. But the conversation quickly expands far beyond UFOs. Cody, Tanya, and Morgue explore the nature of reality, consciousness, humanity’s spiritual evolution, the collapse of old paradigms, and the possibility that we are witnessing the birth of an entirely new world… if humanity can survive the labor.

This is a conversation about ancient mysteries colliding with modern revelation, and what the phenomenon might be asking us to become.

On this episode of the Acid For Squares podcast, hosts Tanya Dahl and Cody Blue sit down with acclaimed documentary filmmaker, producer, writer, and activist Kip Andersen, the filmmaker behind the groundbreaking documentaries Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret, What the Health, Seaspiracy, and his explosive new film, Christspiracy: The Spirituality Secret. Working with powerful executive producers like Leonardo DiCaprio and Joaquin Phoenix, Andersen’s films have reached millions of people around the world by investigating the environmental, physical, ethical, and spiritual consequences of humanity’s relationship with animals, while exposing the powerful institutions that profit from it.

Kip’s latest film, Christspiracy, takes that investigation somewhere even more controversial: religion. After years of traveling the world with co-director Kameron Waters, from Jerusalem and the Vatican to Oxford and India, interviewing theologians, religious leaders, scholars, farmers, Indigenous spiritual teachers, and ancient-text experts, their investigation became centered around one deceptively simple question: Is there a spiritual way to kill an animal? Or even more provocatively: How would Jesus kill an animal? When their original streaming partner demanded that key information be removed from the film, Kip and his team made an extraordinary decision. They bought back the rights to their own movie and released Christspiracy independently and uncensored.

In this conversation, Kip takes Tanya and Cody behind the curtain of that battle and into the deeper questions driving his life’s work. They explore the catastrophic environmental impact of industrial animal agriculture, its relationship to human health, and the psychological and spiritual consequences of a global system built upon the exploitation and slaughter of living beings. Kip challenges us to consider something even bigger: What happens to the human soul when suffering becomes so normalized that we stop seeing it? And what happens when the institutions we trust, including corporations, governments, health organizations, environmental groups, and even religious traditions, become entangled with the very systems they may be unwilling to confront?

Kip also reveals the extraordinary journey behind Christspiracy, the discoveries about Jesus that proved too controversial for NETFLIX, and how the film’s investigation into Jesus, scripture, sacrifice, compassion, and humanity’s relationship with animals is challenging deeply held beliefs around the world.

This is an episode about censorship, compassion, religion, environmental destruction, human health, animal consciousness, institutional power, and the uncomfortable possibility that saving the world may require humanity to fundamentally reconsider its relationship with every living creature on it.

On this episode of the Acid For Squares podcast, hosts Tanya Dahl and Cody Blue welcome back legendary channel Darryl Anka, best known for channeling the entity known as Bashar. For decades, Darryl has shared Bashar’s teachings on consciousness, extraterrestrial intelligence, human evolution, and the possibility of open contact between humanity and non-human civilizations. This time, he returns to give us what might be called Bashar’s “State of the Union” on disclosure, first contact, and where humanity currently stands in that process. Most strikingly, Darryl says that according to Bashar, mass contact could now be only one to two years away.

According to Bashar, we aren’t simply entering an era of ET disclosure. We are entering an era of disclosure itself. Secrets across governments, institutions, and society are being brought to the surface, and what has remained hidden is increasingly finding its way onto the table. Darryl discusses the significance of governments releasing information concerning UAPs and alleged Non-Human Intelligence, while sharing Bashar’s perspective on why some of the most compelling footage, documentation, and evidence may still be withheld. He also explores the idea that disclosure isn’t solely a human-controlled process. According to Bashar, the intelligences potentially interacting with humanity have their own role in determining the rate and manner in which contact unfolds.

Darryl then takes us deeper into what Bashar describes as the next stages of the process, including how disclosure may unfold, what developments could happen next, and why he believes mass contact could be just one to two years away. But according to Darryl, preparing for contact involves far more than waiting for something to appear in the sky. Humanity may have to change within itself and become the kind of species capable of meeting mass contact positively. If contact with a radically different form of intelligence becomes a reality, the challenge won’t simply be accepting that “they” exist. It could mean confronting what their existence reveals about consciousness, reality, and ourselves, and learning how to integrate a worldview profoundly different from ordinary human experience.

This is a conversation about disclosure beyond disclosure: the possibility that humanity is approaching an unprecedented inflection point where hidden information, non-human intelligence, consciousness, and our collective future collide. And if Bashar’s timeline is correct, that paradigm shift may be much closer than we think.

On this episode of the Acid For Squares podcast, hosts Tanya Dahl and Cody Blue sit down with comedian, broadcaster, and New York Times bestselling author John Fugelsang, whose acclaimed book, Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person’s Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds, takes an irreverent but deeply informed look at religion, fundamentalism, and the people who weaponize faith for power.

John shares the personal journey that led him to write Separation of Church and Hate, exploring his own relationship with religion and the experiences that pushed him to examine the growing divide between the higher ideals found within spiritual traditions and the hatred sometimes carried out in their name. Together, John, Cody, and Tanya unpack how religious teachings have been distorted throughout history by extremist fundamentalists and political movements, turning belief systems centered on compassion, mercy, and service into tools for division, discrimination, control, and fear.

John breaks down the warning signs of religious fundamentalism, why certainty and extremism can become so dangerous, and how sacred texts can be manipulated to justify ideas that may directly contradict the values they claim to represent. The conversation also explores Christian nationalism, hypocrisy within religious institutions, the relationship between faith and political power, and how ordinary people can challenge extremism without abandoning spirituality altogether. Most importantly, John offers a path toward reclaiming the compassion, love, humility, and humanity at the heart of religion while rejecting those who attempt to use faith as a weapon.

This is a provocative, funny, deeply thoughtful conversation about faith, power, hypocrisy, compassion, and what happens when religion becomes less about loving your neighbor and more about controlling them.

On this episode of the Acid For Squares podcast, hosts Tanya Dahl and Cody Blue are joined by master hypnotist, bestselling author, and QHHT practitioner Sarah Breskman Cosme. Often compared to Dolores Cannon for her work in Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique, Sarah has guided thousands of people into deep trance states to explore the subconscious mind and document the recurring visions, memories, messages, and experiences that emerge.

Sarah says that across these hypnosis sessions, clients who do not know one another have begun reporting remarkably similar themes about the time humanity is living through now. Again and again, she hears descriptions of a major shift in consciousness, the merging of masculine and feminine energies, and the idea that humanity is actively participating in the creation of a new reality.

In this episode, Sarah shares the patterns she is seeing through her clients, including experiences of other dimensions and alternate realities, the return of ancient knowledge, dormant human abilities coming back online, and a growing awareness of humanity as multidimensional beings. She also discusses what many call “ascension symptoms,” including the feeling that time is accelerating, unresolved trauma rising to the surface, heightened emotional sensitivity, and an increasing inability to ignore one’s deeper purpose or calling.

As Sarah explains what these repeated hypnosis reports may suggest about where humanity is headed, Tanya and Cody are left questioning just how much of our reality is changing and how much we may be changing with it.

This is an episode about hypnosis, the subconscious mind, QHHT, consciousness, ascension, multidimensional reality, spiritual awakening, healing, and the possibility that humanity is moving through a profound collective transformation.

On this episode of the Acid For Squares podcast, hosts Tanya Dahl and Cody Blue are joined by David Trotter, a former pastor turned trance channel and CEO of Awakened Magazine. After years of building and leading successful churches, David walked away from the world that had defined his life and began exploring the very spiritual practices he had once been taught to condemn.

Growing up in an evangelical Christian family, David eventually followed his faith into ministry, becoming a successful pastor and helping lead multiple churches. What began as a calling and a blessing, however, gradually became a prison. Eventually, David left the church and embarked on a journey to explore his faith outside the confines of organized religion, experimenting with the spiritual modalities he once condemned, including meditation, breathwork, past-life regression, plant medicine ceremonies, and other practices that had previously been forbidden.

Everything changed after an experience with 5-MeO-DMT, when David says two unseen spiritual beings began communicating with him from beyond the veil. Over time, what started as communication with these presences transformed into something far stranger: they began communicating through him. David found himself entering trance states and eventually embracing an identity he never expected: that of a full-bodied trance channel. Then, according to David, a third presence stepped forward: the Christ.

After spending the last several years developing his channeling practice largely in private, David is now stepping out of the underground to share his experiences with the world. The episode culminates with David entering his channeled state, and all of the recording equipment stopping working. When everything finally comes back online, David enters the trance state once again and delivers a message from his “two unseen friends” as well as “the Christ" that takes Tanya and Cody from shock to laughter to tears.

This is an episode about faith and doubt, forbidden doors, altered states, spiritual rebellion, and what can happen when the beliefs that once defined your reality begin to dissolve.

On this episode of the Acid For Squares podcast, hosts Tanya Dahl and Cody Blue sit down with Sarah Elkhaldy, aka The Alchemist, a mystic, spiritual teacher, author, and internationally recognized voice in contemporary esotericism. After nearly two decades of studying ancient mystery traditions, spiritual alchemy, and consciousness, Sarah has built a global community around making the hidden mechanics of reality accessible to the modern seeker. Her teachings have reached millions through YouTube, her TV show 'Mystery Teachings', and her first book, Book of the Body, arrives in October 2026.

Sarah shares the story of the experience that transformed everything she thought she understood about spirituality. Her path began with formal study of the Fourth Way tradition, but years later, during a powerful plant medicine ceremony, she underwent what she describes as an apotheosis experience. Suddenly, teachings she had accumulated throughout her life no longer felt like separate ideas. They converged into a single understanding of consciousness, existence, and the architecture of reality.

From there, the conversation ventures deep into the paradoxes of Hermetic mysticism and Gnostic philosophy, including one of the most unsettling questions at the heart of esoteric thought: What if the reality we experience is "a negative simulation"? Sarah explores how this idea relates to The Law of One, polarity, non-duality, and the possibility that what we perceive as darkness may serve a purpose within the evolution of consciousness. The conversation also turns to UFO and UAP disclosure, the difference between positive disclosure and psyop disclosure, the manipulated government narratives surrounding non-human intelligence, and whether humanity is being prepared for something much larger than the existence of extraterrestrial life.

Sarah proposes that the instability unfolding across the world represents a collective dark night of the soul, a necessary confrontation with the shadow before an entirely new paradigm can emerge. But this raises an even stranger possibility. If positively oriented higher-dimensional beings revealed themselves to humanity right now, would we actually recognize them as good? Sarah argues that a civilization still conditioned to perceive reality through opposites such as good and evil, light and dark, and self and other may be incapable of accurately perceiving an intelligence that exists beyond those divisions. What appears frightening or incomprehensible from one level of consciousness may look entirely different from another.

This episode is a journey into spiritual awakening, Hermeticism, Gnosticism, The Law of One, UFO disclosure, plant medicine, higher dimensional intelligence, non-duality, and the possibility that humanity’s current crisis is not the end of something, but the painful birth of a new paradigm.
