We return to The Solandarian Game this week with two more chapters from the audiobook - In Chapter 29, Norbu and Ash make their way to the islands to meet with the mysterious Sea Mother, and in Chapter 20, Shuntsu and his Avatar team are ready for a test run of converting Black Rock City Station using Usiri's techno-organic fractal generators. 

Special offer: now through the completion of the story here on the podcast (Dec 1st), I've discounted the AI-Imagined Art Illustrated Version of The Solandarian Game at my Patreon Shop. The full color PDF with over 600 images is now 50% off selling at $7.50 for this limited time. 

Put your thinking caps on and relax into your float tank or sensory deprivation chamber for a lively conversation with philosopher, Randolph Dible. You can learn more about Randy's work and interest in float tanks and the phenomenology of consciousness and nonduality (The Ball of the All, or the Universal Ontology of the Infinite Sphere) at his website, RandolphDible.com

The story continues with the next installment of two chapters from the audiobook of The Solandarian Game. In chapter 27, Ash informs herself of Shuntsu's plan and seeks to enlist her help, and in chapter 28, the Humanist Avatars grapple with the stunning news of Theo's actions against the Nihilists. The full audiobook is available at Amazon, Audible, and the Apple Bookstore. 

While smoking DMT at a gathering of friends, Charles Patti made contact with something more, and his life was changed. This is his story of how he healed with DMT, got into Ketamine therapy, opened a clinic in Florida, developed a podcast, created a non-profit for veteran access to psychedelic healing, his experience with psychedelic parenting, and more. So many interesting topics, all in one episode! Find out more about Charles and his projects with these links: Clinic, DMTx, Warriors of Consciousness

Production note: there were some occasional transmission hiccups on Charles' side of the conversation. I've tried to edit them as best I could, but expect a few places where the audio gets a little glitchy. 

This week in the next two chapters from The Solandarian Game, Shuntsu brings his team of Avatars to Black Rock City Station to figure out how they're going to accomplish converting it into a viable habitat for the Solandarians, and meanwhile, Theo and Sophia have a difficult conversation about Theo's decision of how to regain balance in the New Integral Society. The full audiobook is available at Amazon, Audible, and the Apple Bookstore, and the full-color AI-imagined art illustrated version is available at my Patreon Shop. 

My guest this week is Spencer Burton, founder of Iboga Rebirth, the first and only legal entheogenic church in the state of Oregon that provides Iboga retreats. This interview adds to my growing collection of conversations about entheogenic churches and is another addition to those that are specifically in the great state of Oregon. Spencer and I had a lengthy conversation about his own initiation into Iboga, his time with the Bwiti, and how he sees Iboga as assisting in the process of rebirthing oneself into a more authentic and present way of being and living life. 

With this next installment of The Solandarian Game, some surprising moves are made. In chapter 23, Shuntsu, now with regained lucidity, assembles his crack team of Avatars to play the game, and meanwhile, in chapter 24, back on Solandaria, Norbu learns that there's a source of unexpected resistance to Ash's message as he contemplates their next move. The full audiobook is available at Audible, Amazon, and the Apple Bookstore, and the AI-Imagined Art Illustrated Version is available as an ebook at Kindle and Apple, and also as a full color PDF at my Patreon Shop. 

My guest this week is Jeffrey Stevens from Psyched Wellness which has developed an effective and safe amanita muscaria extract product, "Calm." Having used it myself, I can attest to its calming, relaxing, and dreamy effects - completely unlike psilocybin mushrooms. It's primarily marketed as a sleep aid, but can be used for enjoyment as an alcohol alternative, as well. We discuss the product, sleep, and more. 

In the next two chapters of the audiobook of The Solandarian Game, Theo invites Sophia to meet him at Black Rock City Station where they have a virtual experience of Burning Man, and Ash makes it to the Temple of the Mystic Toad on Solandaria. The full audiobook is available at Amazon, Audible, and the Apple Bookstore, and the AI-Imagined Art Illustrated version of the novel is available in ebook, kindle, and full-color PDF at my Patreon Shop. 

My guest this week is Hamilton Souther of Blue Morpho Academy. In our conversation we get into Hamilton's spiritual awakening, his controversial apprenticeship in the world of ayahuasca, and the development of Blue Morpho and its programs for serving ayahuasca and dietas.
