On today's fantabulous episode of the Conversations With the Mind Podcast, we speak with good friend, fellow Ketamine Therapist, and long-time explorer of Consciousness, Jason Sienknecht.  Wow, what an amazing show this was as we delved into the deep recesses of our individual and collective consciousness.  Jason reflects on his years of experience as a psychonaut exploring his and others' consciousness and he shares some of his most transformative stories of his journeys.  I ask Jason about his experience being a twin and if there are any instances of "strange happenings" between them through their shared genetic connections.  We talk about the modern addiction to mental illnesses in our Western Societies and how it is perpetuating continued individual and collective suffering at some of the greatest levels we've seen in history.  And lastly, Jason shares with us his passion for sacred texts and poetry and how it has helped him in his life for deeper self-understanding.

Today we interview Nicole Blanchette, a PhD student working in the fields of clinical mental health and sport and performance psychology.  We talk about her current research project focusing on female combat athletes.  Nicole tells us about her more than 10 year experience with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai and her challenges in overcoming a double hip injury as well as other challenges.  We discuss her experience as a therapist both in New York City and how it compares to therapy work in a small town community and the possible factors underlying heightened numbers of mental illness in bigger cities.  What a fascinating conversation.  Thank you Nicole for sharing your extensive wisdom and knowledge.

On today's award winning episode of the Conversations With The Mind Podcast, we speak with Milena Casamassima about her interests in Social Work and Public Health and how her interests have changed or been enhanced during the global pandemic.  We talk about different views and approaches towards COVID and the next phase of overcoming this virus.  She and I delve deep into our shared interest around drug policy reform, harm-reduction, and safe use sites as means to change our public perception of healthy drug use for our modern society.  We also dig into the idea of policing, not only for the drug war, but also in general and how policing is viewed and experienced differently by different groups of people in our country.  Lastly, i ask Milena about her opinions around the difference between healthy masculinity and toxic masculinity and we try to find a healthy pathway for everyone to embrace and promote healthy and productive manifestations of masculine energy in our changing world.  What a fun show!!

On today's episode of the Conversations With The Mind Podcast I speak with my 'Metaphysics of the Self' professor at Colorado State University, Dr. Matthew MacKenzie.  Matt is the current Chair of the Philosophy Department at CSU and teaches a variety of interesting subjects including Metaphysics of the Self, Philosophy of the Mind, and takes much of his philosophical expertise from the Indian, Buddhist, and Contemporary Western Philosophical Traditions.  On today's show we discuss the Self and Consciousness at great depths and look at constructs such as; the Embodied Self, the Life-Mind Continuity Thesis, the Advaita Tradition of Indian Thought, and Emergence.  Matt talks with me about how he thinks 'Living a Wise Life' could look as a philosophy of living.  We parse out individualism and egoism and Matt tells me all about his upcoming book Embodied Luminosity which he is still writing and his personal philosophy of a multi-dimensional network-based self which is best explored through an interdisciplinary lens.  I hope you all enjoy this deep conversation and that you all find some value in the conversation.

Ready to go on a ride within the mind of Spencer Bath?  Well today on the show that is exactly what we do.  We talk about dozens of alternative theories on history as well as on today's events which I found very compelling to think about and consider.  We talk about the possibility that COVID and the way it is being handled is a planned action against the human population meant to divide and isolate us and prepare us for an ushering of further future restrictions.  We talk all things mind-control and dig into the history around this malicious practice as well as how it is possibly being used in today's world through parasitic magic.  Spencer delves into numerous topics that surround the potential of a 'great reset' and the 4th industrial revolution which includes globalism, climate control, and ideas that have been presented by some of the world's richest and most influential figures that, on the surface seem good, but may have ulterior motives driving them which could be disastrous.  He talks about esoteric politics, it's roots, and how our voting is a form of signing away spiritual energy and consent so that others can use them as they wish.  This and so much more!! Lastly, we talk a lot of solution.  We attempt to reduce the attitude of fear towards these topics and promote greater awareness and personal and collective healing and give some strategies to do so. Fun times.

Today on this Pulitzer Prize winning episode of the podcast we speak with Sean Lawlor, a good friend, freelance journalist, and traveler of inner and outer worlds.  Sean and I talk about his journalistic endeavors and how he uses his fiction writing to not only aid in his personal exploration of his many selves as well as a tool for personal therapeutics, but how he utilizes his writing to assist others in their own similar processes.  We both share stories of consciousness exploration through our psychedelic adventures and tap into the monomyth, the great Hero's Journey that we all are living both individually and collectively to try to hack our stories for health benefits.  I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!!!

What a pleasure to have Michelle as a return guest to the show! Today we dig a little deeper into her shamanic path.  She discusses her interests, healing, and organization of healing women's groups and widens my perspectives on the power of community.  We talk about her journeys through motherhood and how she tries to treat each day as its own ceremony.  Powerful! We talk about the need in our culture to re-wild ourselves to bring us into better balance and harmony, not only within ourselves, but also with nature and the world around us.  We talk balance in the context of a technological world and how we can reconnect with ancestral energies. What a fun conversation. Thanks Michelle for joining the show again.
