LF72 Pete Wilky & Grov Moluvsky – Truthers on Scooters

Pete Wilky and Grov Moluvsky discuss their recent book The Difference We Make which presents a straight-talking, no-nonsense view of the corruption and abuses of governments and corporations through the lens of popular music culture.
Although the tradition of music as a vehicle for protest and resistance has steadily been eroded by the corporate music industry, throughout the decades many grassroots movements have survived and even thrived amidst gathering tyranny and suppression. The Difference We Make takes a tour of Mod, Punk, Indie and many other music scenes that have spawned outspoken and controversial figures, talking to many well-known writers and musicians along the way. Music has the power to change human consciousness, but can it rise to the critical challenges of our age?

LF71 Robert Howells – The Last Pope and the Fall of the Vatican

Robert Howells discusses his book The Last Pope – Francis and the Fall of the Vatican.
Nearly a thousand years ago the Archbishop of Armagh, later canonised as St Malachy, made a series of prophecies that were hidden in the Vatican for 400 years. His predictions gave clues to the identities of the 109 Popes from medieval times to the present day, including the final Pope who would oversee the end of the Papacy and the fall of the Roman Catholic Church. The Last Pope examines the sudden ‘rediscovery’ of these prophecies in the 16th century and how they may have been used as propaganda in the campaign to promote Pope Gregory XIV to the papal throne.
The book also explores the claim that the prophecies are forgeries. Ultimately, they stand or fall by their accuracy after the time of their rediscovery, and there are many examples where, even in recent years, they have proven to be entirely correct. In the final prophecy, St Malachy describes the last Pope as ‘Peter the Roman’. The worldwide media frenzy surrounding the resignation of Benedict XVI and the election of Francis set the stage for the current Pope who may be the last of the line. Is Francis ‘Peter the Roman’? Will he prove Malachy right and oversee the fall of Rome and the destruction of the Catholic Church?

LF70 Dominic Frisby – Life After the State

Writer and comedian Dominic Frisby discusses his new book Life After the State.
Have you got the feeling that things are spiraling out of control, that politics has lost its way and that – despite government promises – nothing ever changes? Well, you’re right.
In every instance where government gets involved in people’s lives with a desire to do good, it can always be relied on to make the situation much, much worse. Yet despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, we imagine that a world without the state would be a wild and terrifying place. With wit and devastating clarity of argument, Frisby shows that human nature proves the opposite to be true.

LF69 Guy McPherson – Earth Extinction 2030

Guy McPherson discusses his latest book Going Dark.
We are the last individuals of our species on Earth. How shall we respond? How shall we act? If industrial civilization is maintained, climate change will cause human extinction in the near term. If industrial civilization falls, sufficient ionizing radiation will be released from the world’s nuclear power plants to cause human extinction in the near term. In the wake of this horrific conclusion, conservation biologist McPherson proposes we act with compassion, courage, and creativity. He suggests we act with the kind of empathy for which humans are renowned. In other words, he suggests we act with decency toward the humans and other organisms with which we share this beautiful planet. Going Dark is the story of one  scientist’s response to the horrors we face. It is a deeply personal narrative infused with abundant evidence to support its terrifying claims.
Going Dark peels the shadow from the cosy dreams we’ve all bought into – that technology will save us from climate change; that the products we consume are endless and untainted; that our modern idea of happiness and convenience doesn’t crush others; that the heartbeat of the industrial economy that pulses within us is sustainable and ethical. McPherson’s latest work will make you think twice.

LF68 Doug Lain – The Dream of Reality

Writer, blogger and podcaster Doug Lain discusses his novel Billy Moon and some of the associated ideas and concepts. Topics discussed include fiction vs non-fiction, science fiction, culture, control, the meaning of meaning, surrealism, philosophy, paradox, dreams, and the nature of reality.
Billy Moon was Christopher Robin Milne, the son of A. A. Milne, the world-famous author of Winnie the Pooh and other beloved children’s classics. Billy’s life was no fairy-tale, though. Being the son of a famous author meant being ignored and even mistreated by famous parents; he had to make his own way in the world, define himself, and reconcile his self-image with the image of him known to millions of children. A veteran of World War II, a husband and father, he is jolted out of midlife ennui when a French college student revolutionary asks him to come to the chaos of Paris in revolt. Against a backdrop of the apocalyptic student protests and general strike that forced France to a standstill that spring, Milne’s new French friend is a wild card, able to experience alternate realities of the past and present. Through him, Milne’s life is illuminated and transformed, as are the world-altering events of that year. In a time when the Occupy movement eerily mirrors the political turbulence of 1968, this magic realist novel is an especially relevant and important book.

LF67 William Buhlman – Adventures in the Afterlife

William Buhlman discusses out of body experiences and his latest book Adventures in the Afterlife.
Adventures in the Afterlife is a powerful journey of spiritual awakening; a bold quest for answers and enlightenment. The old assumptions of heaven are confronted and an expansive new vision of our continuing life is presented. After being diagnosed with cancer, William pursued answers to the mysteries of our existence after death. Confronting his mortality, he experienced profound insights into what lies beyond our physical body. Our journey into the next life is the basis for Adventures in the Afterlife. The author chronicles his out of body experiences and lucid dreams, and although the insights are sometimes surprising, a clear message is always apparent; we are powerful, spiritual beings and we shape our reality now and in the future.
William’s 40 years of extensive personal out-of-body explorations give him a unique and thought provoking insight into this subject. His first book, Adventures Beyond the Body chronicles his personal journey of self-discovery through out-of-body travel, and provides the reader with the preparation and techniques that can be used for their own adventure.
He has conducted an international out-of-body experience survey that includes over 16,000 participants from 42 countries. The provocative results of this survey are presented in his second book, The Secret of the Soul. This cutting edge work explores the unique opportunities for personal growth and profound spiritual awakenings that are reported during out-of-body experiences.

LF66 Luigi Sciambarella – Altered States, Lucid Dreams and The Evolution of Consciousness

Luigi Sciambarella of The Monroe Institute discusses altered states, lucid dreams and the evolution of consciousness.
Out of body experiences (OBEs) and other altered states of consciousness offer some of the most compelling evidence that reality extends beyond our five senses, and that consciousness itself transcends death. These experiences can also lead to awareness that the universe is fundamentally a multidimensional energy field and that all things within it are interconnected. Such realizations hold powerful potential for personal growth, self-healing, problem solving, creativity and – ultimately – profound spiritual awakening.
The Monroe Institute (TMI) is a non-profit research and educational organization dedicated to enhancing the uses and understanding of human consciousness. Through their programs, tools, and world-renowned technologies, TMI aids participants in achieving targeted states of consciousness – many not typically available during normal waking conditions – and in building skills to re-enter, explore, and utilize those states at will.

LF65 Anthony Peake – The Infinite Mindfield

Anthony Peake discusses his book The Infinite Mindfield: The Quest to Find the Gateway to Higher Consciousness.
The Infinite Mindfield uses as its starting point the widespread historical belief that the pineal gland – the ‘third eye’ – is a profoundly important organ. It links this to the various myths, originating in ancient Sumer, that ‘dragons’ or ‘serpents’ have guided humanity and presents evidence that these beings are symbolic of DNA. It is now known that DNA gives off a form of light known as bioluminescence. This information-rich ‘inner light’ needs an organ of sight to process it – that organ is the pineal gland. It is through this small organ that we ‘perceive’ the inner worlds of lucid dreaming, out-of-body experiences, hypnagogic imagery, near-death experiences, astral travel and the kundalini experience.
For thousands of years voyagers of inner space – spiritual seekers, shamans and mystics – have returned from their inner travels reporting another level of reality that is more real than the one we inhabit in ‘waking life’. Others have claimed that under the influence of mysterious substances, known as entheogens, the everyday human mind can be given glimpses of this multidimensional realm of existence that is usually hidden from us by our five basic senses. Using information from the leading edges of modern science, Anthony presents a startling new hypothesis that these ‘inner worlds’ are as real, or possibly even more real, than the ‘reality’ we experience in waking life. The Infinite Mindfield ends with a mind-blowing proposition: all living beings are one unitary consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.

LF64 Thomas Roberts – The Psychedelic Future of the Mind

Dr. Thomas Roberts discusses his new book The Psychedelic Future of the Mind which explores scientific and medical research on the emerging uses of psychedelics to enrich mind, morals, spirituality, and creativity.
As psychedelic psychotherapy gains recognition through research at universities and medical establishments, the other beneficial uses of psychedelics are also beginning to be recognized and researched. Exploring the bright future of psychedelics, Dr. Roberts reveals how new uses for entheogens will enrich individuals as well as society as a whole by raising individual and business attitudes away from self-centeredness, improving daily life with strengthened feelings of meaningfulness and spirituality, and helping us understand and redesign the human mind. Dr. Roberts envisions a future where you will seek psychedelic therapy not only for psychological reasons but also for personal growth, creative problem solving, improved brain function, and heightened spiritual awareness. Our psychedelic future is on the horizon – a future that harnesses the full potential of mind and spirit – and this book outlines a path to reach it.
