In this conversation with Anthony Peake we discuss the bold hypothesis he calls ‘Cheating the Ferryman’: when we die we fully relive our lives again and again (a bit like the film Groundhog Day) Anthony proposes that we are composed of two entities, the Daemon who has lived our life over and over and remembers it all, who provides hints to the Eidolon who is renewed every new life. We talk about Deja vus and it’s relation to this hypothesis, temporal lobe epilepsy, schizophrenia, cannabis induced psychosis, near death experiences, DMT, Ketamine and synchronicity. Anthony has now written eight books, co-authored a ninth and co-edited a tenth. All of them develop his Cheating the Ferryman hypothesis into ever-wider areas of application.

In this conversation I talk to Christopher Hareesh Wallis about his book ‘Near Enemies of the Truth: Avoid the Pitfalls of the Spiritual Life and Become Radically Free’ 

Have you ever been told, “You create your own reality”? Have you been encouraged to “be your best self” or “follow your bliss”? Nowadays these slogans are everywhere, but what if they’re doing more harm than good? After over thirty years as a scholar-practitioner of meditation and Tantric philosophy, acclaimed author Hareesh explores the most widespread distortions of spiritual teachings present in our world today. Rooted in the Asian wisdom traditions, his book uncovers why these oft-heard platitudes are “near enemies” to the truth, often detour us off the spiritual path, and can even cause unnecessary suffering.

Dr Roger Walsh is a very wise man. Since the 1970's he has devoted his life to exploring consciousness and wisdom through a wide variety of spiritual and psychological techniques. This conversation is a camp fire chat and trans-generational gifting of the lessons Roger has learned on his long journey mastering these practices. Roger (M.D., Ph.D. DHL.) graduated from Australia’s Queensland University with degrees in psychology, physiology, neuroscience, and medicine, and then came to the United States as a Fulbright Scholar.  He is now at the University of California at Irvine where he is professor of psychiatry, philosophy, and anthropology, as well as a professor in the religious studies program.

Roger’s research and writings span several areas. These include the nature of psychological health and wellbeing, meditation and contemplative practices, religion and spirituality, wisdom and other virtues, integral studies, and the psychological roots of our current global crises. He is deeply immersed in contemplative practices as a student, researcher, and teacher.

Roger’s books include Paths Beyond Ego (one of Common Boundary’s “Most Influential Books”), Meditation: Classic and Contemporary Perspectives (“Outstanding Academic Book of the Year Award”), Essential Spirituality: The Seven Central Practices with a foreword by The Dalai Lama, and The World of Shamanism.

Kathryn was a Mormon from the age of 2 until 42 and in 2020 she had an awakening where she realised Mormonism was…..bullshit. We talk about her life as a Mormon, the type of things she used to believe in and what the institution was like. We go into the details of exactly how she came to question the truth of Mormonism, her leaving of the church and what her current life of freedom is like. She has completed a course with cult expert Steven Hassan to help her understand the nature of cults and the process of leaving them. She is due to start a university degree in the study in coercive control. Hearing stories like Kathryn’s are profoundly helpful as we all fall prey to ideological capture of some kind at different times in our lives whether religious, philosophical or political. We can also become free from these ideologies becoming wiser, humbled and more discerning.

Yeshe has lived a very interesting and unusual life. She has lived of-grid her whole adult live in basic hand made shelters called benders, yurts and for the last 12 years a round house which she built with her partner and raised a family in. All of these homes have not been connected to the electricity grid and services such as running water, mains gas, or sewers. It is a life close to nature and offers many benefits and challenges alien to the average modern human. She also spent 12 years travelling in India and Nepal and became the student of two gurus: a Hindu Yogi and a Tibetan Buddhist Lama. Lastly we touch upon the subject of psychedelics and her time being the carer for the famous psychonaut John C Lilly after he had a stroke.

Lama Tsultrim Allione was the first American to become a Tibetan Buddhist nun in 1970. For several years she lived in sacred places, caves and hermitages in the Himalayas. Later she disrobed, married and had four children. She maintained a deep practice and studied with many of the most important Tibetan teachers of the last 50 years. She is now a renowned teacher and one of the only female lamas in the world today. In the early 1970’s she was initiated into the Chad practice which was developed by the 11th century Tibetan yogini Machig Labdron. Some years later she began to teach the Chod practice and gradually developed her own version which is more suitable to contemporary Western practitioners which she calls ‘Feeding Your Demons’ a five step practice based on feeding not fighting our demons such as anxiety, depression, or addiction. In 2007 she was recognized in Tibet as the reincarnation of Machig Labdrön. She has written several books including ‘Women of Wisdom’ and ‘Wisdom Rising’.
