The Liminalist: The Podcast Between

Rare solo flight with Jasun for The Liminalist, on corona panic, thrift store politics, and the unbearable lightness of being human.

Part One: Imagining the Audience (0 – 24 mins)

On being anal, keeping up the podcast, a hub for spreading the corona virus, the smartification of humanity, a prison for God, the human heart, the heaviest object, optimism against the odds, an unusual star, how to podcast alone, a thread in the labyrinth, a future audience, the effects of what we do, what we eat, what makes it to eternity, altercation with a customer, a Clint Eastwood fan, when Lee Marvin sang.

Part Two: All of Heaven’s Horses (24 – 47 mins)

Second altercation with customer, the ripple-down effects of the virus, combatting the virus locally, why I talk about my wife, scapegoating corona victims, the pressure of uncertainty, liminal times, mimetic violence, the man with four jackets, dealing responsibly without panicking, the dark & the light, a part of contaminated humanity, evidence for the goodness, when Icarus crashed, when the cells light up, overthrowing the fascia system.

Part Three: Landing in Eternity (47 mins – end)

A small pocket of humanity, how the audience creates the output, the spirit that’s undivided, the crossroads of the crucifixion, the miracle of surrender, a fractured lens, beauty of the bees, a unique capacity not to be ourselves, seeing the beauty of humans, the island in Finland, when passion proliferates, testifying to the positive, the solution that isn’t a formula, how God moves, a calm system, a loved other, life the story, waiting for the miracle, riding the radio wave.

Songs: “Pirates” by Entertainment for the Braindead; "Vaporcito," by Bigott; “Choir” by Malcolm Middleton;  “Changes” by Short Hand.

Live Liminalist meet up on Zoom from February 29, 2020, on the after-effects of the island initiation in Finland with Dave Oshana, in winter 2020, talking with John H., Mari H, Brian M, & Cedomir.

Part One: Why Are We Here? (0 – 25 mins)

Starting with nothing, the promise of an event, when cells replicate, retreats or initiations, the reason we are here, why did curiosity kill the cat, the acceleration of the energy body, casualties of the cleanse, bringing experience to others, a nonlocal shared resonance energy field, trapped in the matrix, the amplification of a signal, Matrix Warrior and the Lucifer period, audience participation, articulating the ineffable.

Part Two: The Transitional Space (25 – 52 mins)

Making an impression, drawing something out, conveying confusion, the transitional space, the visible skin, the container of life force, body image as mind, the cult of beauty, through the viscera, Dave Oshana on big picture & subtle senses, a death-like zone, the M.O. of Mr. O., a guide through the underworld, neutralizing the mind’s counterfeit creation, show over tell, a willing crew, minding the gap, different languages, a poetic place, being in the body, singing the constructive identity out the way.

Part Three: Social Enlightenment (52 mins- 1 hr 20 mins)

Reluctance to speak out, undercover agents, dangerous information, problems with community, a caring universe, a massage for the psyche, the clearing effects of group work, fear of other people, the original uncaring caregivers, a feedback loop of traumatic memory, the recoil, theory of mind, facing fears, social enlightenment, eschewing social concerns, interfacing with the programming, no people here, a true ceremony master, a spontaneous expression of life force.

Part Four: Nature, Function, Destiny (1 hr 20 mins – end)

Awakening and anxiety, an event in London, multidimensional viewpoint, why The Matrix doesn’t exaggerate, rivers of shit, Hell on Earth, the light that sees the dark, seeing the shape of reality, the parts we reject, why we are not a community, facing fears, finding our path, missing opportunities through inhibition, a limited time span, nature & function & destiny, collectives within the collective, connections among strangers, what we can be sure of, what we are if not people, where Serpent & Christ agree, removing the mind, the body’s story.

Outtakes: Talking with M. Somerset on the differences between Dave Oshana & John de Ruiter (again)

Liminality, 2nd-guessing evolution, control of the future, political identification, the left’s view of the right, capitalism as right or left, fascism, politics & other spheres, acting from confusion & fear, back to the body, the need for metaphysics, turning religion into ideology, headless chickens run by algorithms, when God died, stepping back from modernism, postmodernism & micro-politics, the limits of secularism, reclaiming immanence, the cosmos within, body consciousness & thought, Spinoza’s God & Nature, traumatizing tech, the ideology of tolerance, the power of intransigence, standing ground, where principles are located, the mimetic circus, orientalism.

Part Three: Angels & Demons (1 hr – I hr 29 mins)

An unworldly orientation, many worlds, an uncertain space, they or we, sorcery & social engineering, the sentient machine of history, a conspiracy of thoughtlessness, initiation vs. counter-initiation, vice & pop music, the eggregore of the left, Satan the ruler, casualties of modernity, angels & demons, the assumption of rational autonomy, group psychology, a deep stake in destruction, the pornography industry, Vice of Kings, ideologies of licentiousness, false idols, harnessing transgressive energy, sexualization of children, my body, my choice, the fault lines between bodies, the incoherence of liberalism.

Part Four: A Faustian Rebellion (1 hr 29 mins – end)

Whose body is it, organ rights, the reification of choice, the transgender movement, the supreme virtue, the liberal sacred, Gnosticism and nature, a Faustian rebellion, the abolition of consequences, woke culture, internet bodies, an echo chamber, aligning with power, confronting transgender dragons, a reliance on confusion, the need for courage, where liminalism enters, a town called Hope, a dearth of brave men.
