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
