  • Fortean Archetypes And The Battle Of Memetic Viruses With Anthony Tyler

    Anthony Tyler, author of Dive Manual and the recently released Hunt Manual, which I had the pleasure of editing, joins me on a special episode to discuss Fortean archetypes, the importance of myth in our daily lives, tulpamancy, chaos magic, true crime and morality, shadow work and alchemy as more than just practices, manifesting reality, and tons more. We had a ton of fun tossing ideas back and forth, and I certainly hope you enjoy the episode.

    • Thomas Aquinas And The Argument From Possibility and Necessity

      In part three of our six part series on Thomas Aquinas' proofs for the existence of God, I'll take a look at the third way and discuss what a contingent being is, and how the leap in logic from the first two ways leads us to ask one of the most important questions we have ever asked - why is there something rather than nothing?

      • Thomas Aquinas And The Argument For Efficient Causes

        In part two of this six part discussion on Thomas Aquinas' five proofs for the existence of God, I dive into the argument for efficient causes, and how it relates to creation, philosophy, belief, free will, and the study of knowledge.

        • Thomas Aquinas And The Argument From Motion

          Let's begin our deep dive into Christian mysticism with a multi-part series on Thomas Aquinas' proofs for the existence of God. For this part in the series, I'll look at the argument from motion, and why it's important in our understanding of logical thought, and using some sort of scientific method in determining the difference between belief and gnosis.

          • Belief Is Wish Fulfillment, Gnosis Is Unprovable

            Before I start my deep dive into Thomas Aquinas' five proofs for the existence of god, I wanted to take a few minutes to react to a recent blog post by Mike from the Mind Escape podcast with regards to understanding belief and gnosis. You can read his blog post here.


            I found the idea synchronistic enough to some of the ideas discuss in the Aquinas series that I wanted to talk about belief and gnosis once again as an introduction to Aquinas. I'll be going a bit deeper on some of these ideas this week as I'll be a guest with Mike and Maurice on their show.

          • If you meet God in the woods...

            As I gear up to dive deep into Christian theology, let's talk about the nature of God, asking the right question, spirituality through the scientific method, and why the only thing holding you back from finding what you seek is you.

            • Dissolving Awareness

              On this episode, I discuss how my own spiritual practices have evolved and changed and why I no longer schedule time for meditation, but rather dissolve myself into awareness every moment, of every day.

                Let's talk about free will and determinism, and why both ideas are simply illusions...manifestations of the interactions of perspective.
