Gin And Tantra

In this episode we continue to expound on the work of Dean Radin PhD whom we had on recently and his research into Magic and the abilities of the mind that are not totally understood.  We go into karmic forces and the dedication of oneself to a discipline, stories of Divine intervention and various types of personal abilities (wisdom, love and power).  We discuss the Random Number generator-the 2016 election and the force of will. Also Vodoo dolls and Kurt Warner? 

In this episode we give a big thank you to our most recent guest, Dean Radin, PhD and to all of our guests and audience for their contributions.  We discuss traditional and modern cultures having resistance to new ideas as well as contemporary scientific resistance, in addition to some evidence from the Old Testament...  We ask what is prayer and talk about how some things are just better for some than others.  Also we dive into empiricism, scienticism, identificationism and changing your mind.

This is the second part of our interview with Dean Radin PhD.  We ask him about his research in telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition and psychokinesis and how science is proving the existence of these phenomenon and much more.  He also goes over the double slit experiment, observations on the force of will, scientific resistance and the profound effects of subjectivity.  We discuss materialism and how it is NOT the only worldview as well as the religiosity of science.

In this episode we ask Dean Radin about his upbringing, influences and risk tolerance in addition to the obstacles that he had to overcome in order to take the path that he ultimately chose.  He wittingly replies, "life is short, take risks".  He discusses the McDonaldization of nearly everything and he gives his definition of Magic - The Force of Will, Divination and Theurgy.  He relates meditation to a form of medicine and defines noeticism.  We ask him about clairvoyance and telepathy and he shares his first telematic experience... during infancy! We ponder the probability of a Universal Memory Cloud?  Enjoy the episode.

This is the conclusion of our current series on love and specifically the application of love as an antidote for the feelings of separatenes and anxiety.  But is all love healthy?  We dissect some of the pathological presentations of love and relationships including being needy, marketing oneself, self-sacrifice and virtuous deprivation.

In this episode we continue our discussion on the soulmate experience.  We discuss an article about relationships from viewpoints that span the globe (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/07/opinion/what-romantic-regime-are-you-in.html).  We talk about a course at Northwestern called Marriage 101 and we discuss the Yin and Yang of relationships.  Along the way we critique the Western Culture, of course.

This is the first in a short series on Love... our definition, viewpoints and musings on the importance of treating Love as art to be studied, learned and practiced.  We include the work of Eric Fromm ( a student of Freud) and his ideas on this from a psychological vantage point.  We discuss becoming lovable, using love as a commodity to be traded, marketing oneself in a social environment, facing rejection and experiencing love as a removal of the feelings of separation.

In this episode we ask the question, What makes an experience memorable?  We also highlight aspects of the Buddhist teachings known as the Ground, Path and Result... and a secret mantra?  We also discuss the relationship of subjectivity, objectivity and experiential validity.  Eric highlights his first Zen retreat.  Daniel experiences transcending  physical space and there is a discussion on the high potential for experiencing joy.
