Hey all! Here is an interview with Arianna, a fascinating individual I had spontaneously approached at a lake. From the longboard in her grip to the smile in her eye, I could sense something quite unique about her, and so knew I had to ask her for an interview. Boy was I right. Ari has been all over the country practically on her own, and has no shortage of stories to tell. So we got baked and shot the breeze for about an hour. This conversation revolves around her itinerant travels, family and interpersonal struggles, and spiritual and life wisdom she's picked up along the way. I hope you enjoy this unfiltered free flowing interview from a unique and fascinating perspective.

"Men are trash". Such are the opinions of an expanding segment of the population. Such is the perception of the "priveleged" "uncultured" and "tyrannical" position that men occupy in society. Or do they? Hello Animated Souls. I'd like to share with you today on the topic of societal pressure. More specifically, I'd like to discuss the way a growing contingent of the population attempts to wield that societal pressure over the average man to abandon all assertiveness, ambition and masculinity under the guise of promoting equality and combating a perceived patriarchy. I'd like to discuss potential roots of the problem, and what can be done on the part of either gender to remedy it. And also I'd like to poke some more fun at Hollwood. If you too are a piece of trash or know someone who is, then you won't want to miss this episode of the Animus Files. Enjoy.

Moving past the dream of separation. And of limitation. And of gain and loss. We arrive at the true heart of this discussion. That which transcends the self, and the illusion of individual reality. Mastery. The master is the one who realizes there are no masters. There is no one to claim the pinnacle of human self consciousness. There simply is activity. And there is love. Words, limited as they are, can never describe infinity. Thought, as perverted as it is can never know the truth. Truth is beyond words, beyond separation. Beyond gain or loss, or time or death. Truth is what reveals itself here and now. Truth is not two, but one. Truth is love.

Hello all! I hope you're doing well and that this message receives you in grand spirits. Today's episode is about Thumos, the principle of impassioned existence. It's also about Mental framework, Cultural operating systems and psychological identity. I can already tell that this is the first of many episodes along this line of ideation. I had a blast recording this one, so give it a go and see if you also enjoy!

Welcome to the first interview of The Animus Files Podcast, in which your lovely host Voldemort sits down for a chat with SouthCentral Florida's own resident Social Intuitive and expert Astrologer, Dia Elise. In this episode we discuss digital, social and spiritual dynamics, gender and sexuality and lots more. Anything from Astrology to pornography finds its way into this episode, and no topic is off limits. This was an extremely fun, enlightening conversation for me to have as our perspectives align and diverge in various interesting ways. I hope you have half as much fun listening to this as I did making it!

The Animus is Crumbing. Today more than ever, society is experiencing a crisis of masculinity. As popular culture endeavors to blur, diminish, and ultimately redefine what it is to "be a man", the response from most biological males is chilling. A massive retreat into digital media, videogames and pornography is underway. Men are becoming sedentary, timid, and subservient to the women in their lives. Women are growing repulsed and disillusioned with the males in their enviornments, as their hypergamous instinct drives them to seek and demand higher and higher standards for men, and almost without missing a beat, in 2020, the already exorbitant male suicide rate just climbed to a two decade high. Is there any hope for masculinity? Where if at all, does one seek a solution? And what are the causes of this broad scale disenfranchisement of men? We'll explore all these topics and more on this episode of The Animus Files.

Howdy! Welcome to everyone's least favorite part of manifesting their highest good, the details. If you're a dreamer like me, you probably have high aims for how you'd like to see yourself in the future. That's great, however, (as seen from the inside) you may or may not find a whole lot of meaning in practical tasks that present themselves before you now. You don't enjoy the details. You may even feel the urge to skimp out, half ass, or even neglect practicality altogether. Do so at your peril. Because if there's one thing that holds the loftiest dreamer back, it's a lack of participation in the now. Come along for a chat with me and see if we cant dissect the nature of what it means to be an active dreamer.

The energy of desire moves through us all. Learning to channel, rather than suppress that energy makes the difference between a creative and expressive existence to one that halts the attraction based flow of life. Be not ashamed to express your desires. See it as the hand of the creator moving you, guiding you towards the experiences you need to see to unravel the illusion of separation.

Your job is not to make the world a better place. Your job is not to save your brother or sister. Your job is not to build or acquire freedom. All that is required from you with each and every breath is to accept what is, as it is. Surrender the dream of control. Surrender the dream of resistance. Only then (now) does the power to create return to you. In accepting this now, it becomes obvious that the creative power has never left.

Be selfish. Be utterly and beautifully and divinely selfish with regards to what seeds you allow to be planted in your Garden. Your Garden is your mind. The seeds are the thoughts you allow to take root there. A wise gardener chooses lovingly and carefully what it is they wish to plant, and builds fences around their precious seeds to protect them from those who would do them harm. And then, once the seeds have fully matured, and borne flower and fruit, the wise gardener can give freely and abundantly, even to those who would not have respected it. Cultivate your mind (and thus your reality) with wisdom and love.
