Our contemporary culture is dominated by materialism. The materialism of conspicuous consumption, endless info-tainment, and social media addiction, and the materialism which tells us that the entire universe and life itself are random accidents utterly devoid of meaning or purpose. But modern materialism, however you look at it, is falling apart.
The latest developments in quantum physics and psychic research have already fatally undermined materialism’s self-declared monopoly on truth, often by using the very scientific methods once used to debunk them. But unlike celebrity gossip or political fear mongering, news of paradigm shifts in our understanding of reality spreads slowly. This will change.
Cutting edge consciousness research strongly suggests that mind, not matter, is the ground of reality. On both an individual and collective level, the implications of this are vast. If the cascading crises currently plaguing our planet are simply reflections of false beliefs about ourselves, each other, and reality as a whole, then we have the power – each of us starting with ourselves, right now – to change everything.

LF381 James Tunney – Dawn of The Automatons: The Coming Slave New World

The latest in an ongoing series of dialogues with James Tunney exposing the assault on humanity by the emerging global scientific dictatorship. James’ latest book is Plantation of the Automatons – Rule of an Automaticity Loop

What was once science fiction is rapidly becoming science fact. You will own nothing and be happy, immersed in a virtual reality of games, pornography, and mindless distractions. You will be discouraged from reproducing therefore you will not be replaced. The goal of a post-human planet envisages a much smaller population and in time, no real population at all. We are at a crossroads in the evolution of the human race. The future is taking shape in the present.
The assault is triple-pronged:
Technology – Complete control and surveillance under the guise of entertainment and security.
Technocracy – Rule by unelected, unaccountable, technical and scientific ‘experts’.
Transhumanism – The ‘augmentation’ of the human mind and body by science and technology with the eventual goal of eliminating the species entirely through a process of total transformation.
Developments to watch out for as the agenda advances:
Social credit systems – Rewards for ‘good’ behaviour.
Mandatory vaccinations – ‘Passports’ for international travel.
Digital currency – Cashless society, all transactions recorded.
Universal Basic Income – Subsistence income instead of a job. This can be withdrawn for ‘bad’ behaviour.

LF379 Carole Nervig – Ancient Apocalypse and The Legacy of Lemuria

Carole Nervig discusses her book The Petroglyphs of Mu – Pohnpei, Nan Madol and The Legacy of Lemuria.
Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot ComMyths and legends from around the world tell of a lost, ancient civilization swept away by a major catastrophe during prehistoric times. The people or peoples dimly-remembered are often said to have been technologically advanced, culturally sophisticated, and capable of amazing feats that the scientists and engineers of our age still cannot comprehend. The fate of both Lemuria and Atlantis represent perhaps the best-known telling of such tales. Biblical stories such as those of The Fall of Man and Noah and The Ark – the latter also reflected in the many other flood myths – echo suppressed species memories of some ancient cataclysm which may have brought humanity to the brink of extinction. Other cosmologies paint a very different picture from mainstream accounts of human antiquity and evolution, including our origins among the stars, or perhaps even other dimensions of space-time. As we collectively face an increasingly uncertain future, what might the past have to teach us about the people that we were, that we are, and that we could be?

LF378 Kingsley Dennis – The Metaverse: A Prison for Your Mind?

Kingsley Dennis and Greg Moffitt discuss the trajectory of technological advancement in an age of disenchantment and despair.
Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com
The expansion of virtual reality technology along with the increasing complexity and reach of the World Wide Web is driving the development of the Metaverse – a still largely-hypothetical upgrade of the Internet to a single, universal, and immersive virtual world. However, despite enormous technical challenges, to say nothing of the colossal investment involved, the most ardent exponents of the Metaverse maintain that their vision of a virtual world indistinguishable from the real thing will soon become reality. A reality in which the limitations of our three-dimensional, five-sense existence can be left behind, where we can live out our fantasies, and ultimately, transcend our physical form altogether.
But beyond very real concerns about the so-called ‘Internet of Things’ and this mooted Metaverse as a totalitarian tool of technocracy and The Great Reset, what if the possible dangers run much, much deeper? What if the agenda is to cut humanity off from the higher realities which consciousness mediates, which some call spiritual, the loss of which might end our evolution once and for all?

LF377 Paul Levy – Wetiko: Healing the Mind Virus That Plagues Our World

Paul Levy discusses his book Wetiko: Healing The Mind Virus That Plagues Our World.
Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com
In its Native American meaning, wetiko is an evil cannibalistic spirit that can take over people’s minds, leading to selfishness, greed, and consumption as an end in itself, destructively turning our intrinsic creative genius against us. Revealing the presence of wetiko behind every form of destruction our species is carrying out, both individual and collective, Levy shows how this mind-virus is so embedded in our psyche that it is almost undetectable, and it is our blindness to it that gives wetiko its power. However, by recognizing this mind parasite, we can break free from its hold and realize the vast creative powers of the human mind.
Levy explores how artists, philosophers, and spiritual traditions across the ages have been creatively symbolizing this psychic pathogen so as to help us see it and heal it. He explores how the projection of the shadow self – scapegoating – is the underlying psychological mechanism fueling wetiko, and examines wetiko in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, showing that we can reframe this event to receive the lessons and opportunities embedded in it. Revealing how the power of imagination can cure wetiko, Levy underscores how important it is for each of us to bring forth the creative spirit within us, which helps shed the light of consciousness on wetiko, taking away its power over us while simultaneously empowering ourselves.

LF376 Nathanael Bonnell – Twilight of the Techno-Industrial Age?

Nathanael Bonnell and Greg Moffitt discuss techno-industrial society and potential trajectories for its future. Nathanael is editor of New Maps, a quarterly journal of de-industrial fiction.

As the world faces the oncoming reality of declining energy, fraying infrastructure, and other consequences promised to us by the profligacy of the fossil fuel age, we’re left to look into a future that at first appears a trackless wilderness. The monolith of globalized industrial civilization offers few frameworks to comprehend life in an age of less. It has dealt with its impending implosion with procrastination and denial.
And yet if we’re to survive and even thrive in the future, we must have stories, for narrative is how we make sense of our world. But popular fantasies of Star Trek-type utopia or Mad Max-style Armageddon bear very little resemblance to the futures we’re actually likely to get: neither paradise nor apocalypse, and certainly not an easy continuation of the business-as-usual of the last few decades. Instead, we and our descendants will do what people always do: figure out creative ways to keep doing all those things that make up life, the loving and hating and laughing and crying and all the rest, in the times we’ve been given.

LF374 Tessa Lena – Post-Pandemic Panic: You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy

Tessa Lena and Greg Moffitt discuss possible futures as the human predicament shifts from one strain of viral hysteria to another.
Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com
In the wake of all the broken connections and shattered lives of the Coronavirus Crisis, thinking and feeling people the World over are desperate for some respite. But fresh scares and fear-mongering abound, seemingly determined to stampede us into a future of frugality and deprivation, eking out a meagre existence in the ‘new normal’. To have less, do less, and be less amid a high-tech matrix of control and surveillance is now the promised land. To ‘own nothing and be happy’ as we await the end of humanity, engulfed in the virtual reality of a transhumanist utopia. But is this the future you ordered? And if not, whose future is it?

LF373 Bernard Beitman – Meaningful Coincidences: How and Why Synchronicity and Serendipity Happen

Bernard Beitman discusses his book Meaningful Coincidences: How and Why Synchronicity and Serendipity Happen
Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com
Each of us has more to do with creating coincidences than we think. In this broad exploration of the potential of coincidences to expand our understanding of reality, psychiatrist Bernard Beitman explores why and how coincidences, synchronicity, and serendipity happen, and how to use these common occurrences to inspire psychological, interpersonal, and spiritual growth. Through a complete catalogue of coincidence patterns with numerous examples, Beitman clarifies the relationship between synchronicity and serendipity and dissects the “anatomy of a coincidence”.
He defines coincidence types through their two fundamental constituents – mental events and physical events. He analyzes the many uses of meaningful coincidences as well as their potential problems. He explains how you will see patterns guiding your life decisions and learn to expect that coincidences are more likely to occur during times of stress, high emotion, and strong need, which helps you be ready to use them when they occur. Exploring the crucial role of individual thought and action in synchronicities and serendipities, Beitman shows that there’s much more behind these occurrences than ‘fate’ or randomness.

LF372 Thomas Sheridan and Neil McDonald – Atlantis: An Empire Lost and Found

Thomas Sheridan and Neil McDonald discuss their book and film Atlantis – An Empire Lost and Found.
Listen to the full show on Legalise Freedom Dot Com
The lost continent of Atlantis has been the stuff of myth and legend for thousands of years, but did it ever really exist? Although quite specific about the nature and location of Atlantis, Plato’s account is generally taken as allegory by mainstream archaeologists and historians. However, stories of devastating floods and once-advanced civilizations going right back to the end of the last ice age can be found all over the world, as can evidence for them in the archaeology. In this groundbreaking new work, Sheridan and McDonald link the possible existence of Atlantis directly to megalithic culture, specifically that which erected the many stone circles and other similar structures the remains of which dot the Atlantic fringes, particularly around the British Isles.
Along the way we pose probing questions such as: Do secretive occult orders and mystery schools hide knowledge of past civilizations? Did the misuse of powerful technology cause the destruction of Atlantis, and might we be on the brink of making the same mistakes? And, is the current dysfunctional and schizophrenic state of our species somehow linked to collective trauma in the deep past and if so, could Atlantis hold the key to our survival?
