This episode!!! I had such a fabulous time talking to Brown Intuitive about spirituality and how it intersects with autism. We discuss:

• Black and white thinking as a gateway to empathy and nuance
• The intersection of spirituality and autism
• Race and exclusion in spirituality
• Is the concept of privilege helpful or hurtful, and in what contexts?
• The importance of anger, and anger as an emotion vs an identity 
• The need for more black and brown autistic healers

Make Manifestation Great Again! 👂 I’m on a mission to find out for myself how much responsibility I have over my reality. I suspect I have a little more than I think I do, but the only way to know for sure is to hypothesise, test, document. This episode is the groundwork for everything else that’s about to come ( next week I’ll be discussing playing with Timeline Jumping and Quantum Healing). In this half episode I get into: 

• Defining the idea of Spiritual Scientist
• Outlining my methodologies
• Explaining the genesis of my renewed interest in manifestation

In the full episode (available on the Free Patreon Tier) I go on to discuss: 

• Detailing my recent manifestation experiments and what I am learning from the outcomes
• Unpacking the interplay between spiritual skepticism and openness to possibilities
• Practicing shifting perspectives from victimhood to gratitude
• Experiencing energetic neutrality
• How over identifying with struggle can block your desires
• I theorise about God being an impartial mechanism
• Actionable steps to follow if you’re keen on being a spiritual scientist too

Get in the car, gays, we’re recovering from ennui! In this episode I share how I am successfully clawing my way out of a generalized dissatisfaction with life. I discuss

• The power in sharing your pain and letting people witness you
• Being discerning and cutthroat about our media diets
• Getting re-energized through doing what feels good intuitively rather than morally

In the full Patreon episode I go on to discuss:

• Reducing scripting and masking, living in the moment and receiving the pleasure of co-creating experiences
• Experiment with spiritual concepts: manifestation, timeline jumping and magnetism
• Following my ‘sacral Yes’, feeling more, thinking less
• Building tools and strategies to soothe issues of the mind, body, soul
• I also discuss my developing opinions on Christianity and Abraham Hicks

On this episode I discuss how to carry out sustainable activism for any cause. I use the example of Palestine and my journey figuring out how to care for myself and Palestine without becoming emotionally burned out and cynical (again). I discuss:

• The importance of becoming the ultimate authority in your life
• Doing "what’s right" vs. what feels right
• Attuning and honouring to your body’s internal Yes/No
• Mood tracking
• The energetic difference between expanding and contracting
• Taking our social/media diet seriously

This is one of my favourite episodes to date! I’m joined by the brilliant astrologer wizard Jaliessa Sipress to discuss amorality, the nature of suffering, manifestation and human duality

• Amorality and moving away from good/bad and right/wrong
• Manifestation and moving away from mainstream models. 
• Engaging with world suffering and debating the idea of resilience
• Social expectations, fear of judgement and being labelled a “bad” person
• Is it possible to engage in the suffering of others without becoming consumed by it?
• Detachment and choosing what to prioritize. 
• The concept of urgency

Part 2 is IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE over on Patreon! We shift gears and have a blast discussing pop culture:

• Diddy, celebrity and how abuse is a symbiotic organism in Hollywood
• Are you really ready to Eat the rich and cancel y’alls faves, Bey included? (NO)
• Celebrity as a mirror of our own shadow and darkness
• Andrew Huberman and the expectation of universal morality from the people we admire
• The conduct we accept interpersonally vs. from public figures
• Unfettered spiritual practice leading to psychosis, the importance of knowing your limits

• Communicating capacity and boundaries in friendships
• Communication styles over text
