The Higherside Chats

Join The Higherside Chats podcast as host, Greg Carlwood, discusses "The Cancer of Capitalism", with philosophy professor and author, John McMurtry.

We have watched the disease that is Private Fractional Reserve banking and the "profit or bust" mindset slowly erode and infect nearly every aspect of life- from the exhausted environment, to the march of the military industrial complex, to the lives spent in unfulfilling jobs just to pay off the debt that got them there. Our societal and personal motivations are so warped by this green monopoly money that people regularly debate what behaviors truly reflect human nature and what can be credited to the crack-like addiction we have to this cycle of greed, debt, and consumerism.

While it is a lot to unpack, and may of us recognize this destructive and sociopathic system cannot continue, we need the communal equivalent of a full medical evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment plan, before much can be done.

Today's guest, John McMurtry has authored several books including, "The Cancer Stage of Capitalism", is a retired professor of Philosophy, an expert in Value-theory, physician of finance and doctor of the debt based system of rule.

2:12 To kick things off, John begins by expanding on the metaphor of cancer he often uses to diagnosis the current conditions of our economy and society. As he explains, Fractional Reserve banking is likely the original disorder and very much a key part of the cancer system. According to McMurtry, the cancer system is the disease, and the disease is transnational money sequences, which have escalated to superseding all life needs.

12:01 With transnational money sequences acting as a cancer to society, and their ability to metastasize being aided through Fractional Reserve banking and trade treaties, Donald Trump's ability to capture the attention of disenfranchised victim's of this cancer is due in large part to the mainstream media's blackout of this topic. A dispossessed society, feeling unheard has witnessed the corporate media's refusal to acknowledge their fight against a cancer system that will ultimately, by its very nature kill them. Along with a defeated society, another tentacle on this cancerous octopus is the military industrial complex. Acting as a means to commit eco-genocide, this faction of the cancer equation, spearheaded by among others the hawkish Hillary Clinton, has been a constant blemish bankrupting society and negating all life needs, as cancer does.

20:01 John elaborates on the dichotomy that "The most suppressed issues of our epoch is the war between life capital on one hand and money capital on the other." After covering how the money system operates,

Join host, Greg Carlwood, of The Higherside Chats podcast as he talks consciousness, altered states, the Pleroma with returning guest, Anthony Peake.

While we love talking about the various brands of high strangeness out there, a major unifying component to these mysterious encounters with aspects of the other side is us. This is because all of these experiences come through the lens of the human perception. And of course, the mainstream often uses that fact as an excuse to dismiss these strange occurrences entirely, which is wrong, but it's still a fact that shouldn't be ignored. What role does human consciousness and the brain play in these situations, or any situation for that matter?

Back in the THC saddle after four long years, today's guest Anthony Peake is one of the kings of consciousness research. He's written several books along the way, but most recently his decade-plus study of reality, the mind, and altered states have all come together in his latest masterpiece, "Opening the Doors of Perception: The Key to Cosmic Awareness".

2:11 With his latest work being a play on Aldous Huxley's famous "Doors of Perception" written back in the 1950's, Peake choose the title "Opening the Doors of Perception". He "believed the time has come to re-evaluate the model of perception suggested by Huxley and to view it through the lens of our modern science". Greg and Anthony discuss where they see the greatest need for updating and what some of the biggest insights have been since Huxley's time.

10:42 While a lot of people in the alternative realm approach these studies through the examination of out-of-body and near-death experiences or psychedelic and entheogen use, very few researchers have examined the connection with conditions such as migraines, epilepsy, and schizophrenia. With a cross-pollination between several areas of study, Peake's latest book addresses these neglected conditions and how they relate to our understanding  from an all-encompassing perspective using his vast scope of knowledge and research to connect to dots. Listen as he and Greg discuss the uphill battle academia faces to expand its worldview beyond materialism to include other possible paradigms in the study of the different levels and stages of consciousness.

18:10 Greg and Tony Peake discuss modern encounters with the Greys and how they appear to share similarities to old stories of fairy folk and little people. Oddly enough, these reports seem also to coincide with people suffering from Charles Bonnet Syndrome

Join The Higherside Chats podcast as host Greg Carlwood talks the education conspiracy of common core and 9/11 with returning guest, Joseph Farrell.

The Earth has a rich history of control by vast interlocking networks of think tanks, multinational corporations, secret societies, esoteric orders, and hidden financiers all aimed at crafting society to their will and molding modern man as they see fit. And while the "conspiratorial baton" may have changed hands many times throughout history, guest Joseph Farrell has been tracking this over the course of several years and rejoins THC to help us better understand the world stage today.

2:36 To start things off, Greg begins by discussing Farrell's latest work, "Rotten to the Common Core". With the education and schooling slice of the conspiracy pie affecting most of the populous, they dive deeper into the weaponizing of compulsory schooling and the tightening of the screws with the newest edition of the common core curriculum.

5:50 Early on in his book, Farrell critiques our focus on the assessment process rather than the content or standards themselves. Listen as Greg and Joseph elaborate on this process, why it's so concerning and what it does exactly, as well as it's subsequent consequences on students, parents and the teaching profession as a whole.

15:17 Shifting focus from the laundry list of problems with common core, Greg and Joseph identify some of the key players and money working to institutionalize America's youth. With infamous charities such as the Gates Foundation working under the guise of philanthropy, Greg and Joseph explore the red flags pointing to a deeper agenda.

25:45 Suffering from a taste of their own medicine and finding themselves being dumbed down along with the rest of the American society, the elite now find themselves reusing the same old playbook. Greg and Farrell discuss how the elite are fresh out of ideas, with proven weaknesses such as a lack of creativity and critical thinking, and the inability to quickly pivot and remain nimble in this constantly changing climate.

 

36:00 With an over medicated generation of children being subdued to drone-like states, Greg and Joseph turn their attention towards this concerning epidemic. Connecting the dots between the pharmaceutical initiative, they discuss the 1950's CIA mind control projects, such as Project Artichoke,

Join The Higherside Chats podcast as host Greg Carlwood talks West Point paranormal and star myths with returning guest, David Mathisen.

When we examine the small sliver of the human story we call "recorded history"' and squint to make out what little we can past that, it is impossible to deny that cultures on every continent had a serious infatuation with the stars. And despite the many unknowns- the mountain of mythological stories and mysterious structures that are built upon the patterns and movements of little flickering dots of light in the night sky, prove just how serious this ancient astrological alignment obsession was to our ancestors.

From Serpent Mound in Adam's County, Ohio to the great Giza Plateau; from Chinese mythology to the so-called "Holy Bible", there is nearly nothing left that doesn't tie into this persistent preoccupation with the heavens. It's safe to say this shouldn't be ignored and today we are going to do all we can to wrap our heads around the reasons for this celestial emphasis in everything.

After spending over two decades as a man of faith being taught by his religious authorities to take the Bible as the isolated and literal truth of the ancient world, David Mathisen has come to discover the deep star based symbolism contained within, and the Bible's real place among a plethora of similar ancient stories and symbolic myths that had been hidden from him all those years by a system set on control rather than spiritual enlightenment. So with a vengeance and the fiery passion of a billion suns, David has quickly become one of the most profound proponents of turning back this tide with works such as "The Undying Stars: The Truth That Unites the World's Ancient Wisdom and Conspiracy to Keep It From You", and his 3 volume set "Star Myths of the World and How to Interpret Them".

3:25 To get things started, they begin by discussing the evolution of David's understanding and work since the release of his book "The Undying Stars". In a quest to better understand the language of the Bible, and deducing his previous convictions of a literal interpretation were wrong, Mathisen's first work laid out some of the evidence that the Bible, just like other myths of the world, is built on a foundation of celestial metaphor. David then began assembling the "holy trinity" of ancient astrological lore his books "Star Myths", which is a comprehensive compilation aimed to help people better understand the lost knowledge of astrotheology in a thorough and systematic way.
