In this conversation, I'm joined by Thomas Silvani to explore the profound practice of Qigong and the transformative power of the "Animal Frolics." We dive deep into the three levels of Chi, the significance of the Dantians, and how mimicking the movements of animals like the Crane, Tiger, and Bear can help us find flow state and restore our natural vibrancy.Thomas shares insights from his book, discussing how these ancient techniques act as an "exit ramp" from the ego and a "meta-flow state" for the modern world.

True Knowles is a modern day rideshare mystic with over twenty thousand rides on his saddle. In this episode, we map out the literal geometry of consciousness inside a vehicle—breaking down the biological shift between the defensive dorsal energy of the back seat versus the active ventral engagement of the front seat. We also confront a vital law of spiritual economy: what it truly costs your soul to raise your vibration, and why dropping into lower frequencies forces you to suffer for giving more than you possess. Here is my conversation with True Knowles.Find True Knowles on Substack: https://truebadore.substack.com/

How to Find Your Flow in a New Era. James sits down with longtime friend and artist Rebecca Antonelli to explore the intersection of creativity, business, and the shifting landscape of consciousness. From the early days of internet startups to the transformative power of a flow state, they discuss why self-belief is the ultimate "high magic" and how to navigate an economy that is forcing us all to redefine what it means to be successful.

James True is joined by Mitch Wasson for a deep dive into the "hermetic path" of reality. Mitch shares his powerful personal journey—from serving in the Marine Corps and struggling with drug addiction to a profound "light switch" awakening in 2016 sparked by infinite consciousness and the texts of the Bhagavad Gita.Together, they explore the necessity of the Hero’s Journey and why true initiation often requires personal devastation and the stripping away of societal "credentials." A central theme of the discussion is "Elaborate Cope"—the complex systems and narratives we build to avoid the raw presence of awareness.Key topics include:The Cost of Initiation: Why society often views spiritual growth as a "crisis" or failure.Elaborate Cope vs. Presence: How we use complex magic and political fixation as coping mechanisms.Collective Sanity: Understanding civilization as a "sanity island" that provides the safety for individual deep-sea diving for "pearls" of truth.The Technology of Belief: Exploring how our perception and internal light construct our entire reality.Finding the Mentor: The role of "charlatan" mentors and outrageous ideas in giving us permission to fall off the cliff and find ourselves.Join us for a conversation that challenges the idea of a "broken" system and instead reveals a brilliant, structured reality designed to foster conscious expansion.

Some thoughts on Orca and their concept of time, space, earth, and humanity.

I met with Phillip from Chasing mound builders to explore the spiritual, cognitive, and mystical dimensions of ancient indigenous sites like the Newark Earthworks and Flint Ridge.

Phillip shares his personal journey of "cosmic remembering" and how mystical experiences at local mounds bridged the gap between ancient Western esotericism and indigenous knowledge. We dive into why imagination is actually a cognitive organ, how mythology functions as divination, and why modern society is suffocating from trying to eliminate mystery and chaos.

We also consider modern vision quest parallel: how social media platforms act as virtual "flower wars" and how navigating online debates is a form of modern shamanic "skinwalking."

James and Kelfin unravel the hidden threads connecting ancient matriarchal societies, the weaponization of language, and the rapid shift of modern global events. From the remote shores of Stranraer, Scotland, to the true history of the Irish famine and the psychological anatomy of modern "truth movements," this 90-minute philosophical exploration challenges how we view power, trauma, and human evolution.
