In this episode, I talk with both Doug Wingate and Dr. Rachel Turetzky about their incredible new book, '8-Circuit Ascension: A Guide to Metaprogramming the Multidimensional Self'.

We take a deep dive into the origins and evolution of the 8-Circuit Model of Consciousness --originally developed by Timothy Leary and later expanded by thinkers like Robert Anton Wilson and Antero Alli. Doug and Rachel have taken this model to the next level, grounding it in contemporary neuroscience, developmental psychology, and the growing field of psychedelic integration.

Together, we explore how the lower circuits relate to our early developmental patterns and the survival-oriented programming we all carry, and how the higher circuits give us access to altered states, spiritual insight, and the transpersonal dimensions of the self. We talk about how this model functions as a kind of spiritual technology--one that can be used not only for personal transformation and healing, but for guiding others through their own journeys of consciousness exploration.

We cover metaprogramming, re-imprinting, integration, and what it really means to understand the structure of your own mind, and so much more... Drop in and prepare to ascend!
