Manda Scott "lights the fires of possibilities", as she calls it, in this much needed episode on thrutopias, the total collapse and how we can emerge into a completely new paradigm. Manda impresses me so much, she has been a published writer for 30 years and writing still, she is also the founder of ACCIDENTAL GODS. I really hope you will enjoy this episode where we get informed, sparked and interrupted in our normal thinking. So grateful for this interview - may it be of great importance to you too. Here are some notes about what we TAP into in this episode: -Bringing knowing back to those...

Phoebe Wyss is a seasoned astrologer with more than 40 years of experience, she is the author of three astrology books and a meditator on the Osho path. In this episode, I speak with Phoebe Wyss about cosmology, sacred geometry, quarter days, synchronicity and experiential astrology as a path of self-discovery. We also talk about her pioneering astrology game Lebensrad, the Wheel of Life, which she created and published in Germany in the 1980s. The game was built on synchronicity, and Phoebe describes how people repeatedly received answers that felt uncannily relevant to what they were...

We have been on the edge for so long - now we are here! What do we do now with the confrontational and autonomous energy? If you want inspiration to answer that for yourself, this is the episode to tap into. Even if not, because there is more to this conversation - You will meet Evolutionary Astrologer and teacher Dabney Lawless, who also has her own YouTube channel with excellent interviews and solo content. In this episode, she shares why she believes astrology is, in a way, lawless, as well as her own recent healing experiences through Chiron transits. We then dive into a collective energy...

Our guest today, Joel Blackstock, is deeply inspiring. Whether you’re passionate about therapy or simply curious, this conversation is getting you there - we explore the natural therapeutic evolution, how pattern recognition is central and then Joel breaks down the differences between EMDR and Brainspotting, and then takes us further into Emotional Transformation Therapy. I highly recommend listening to this one. He shares so many powerful reflections, including: “I want my shadow in the room, so I know where it is” which feels especially resonant coming from a fellow Pluto in Scorpio...

This is such a rich episode! Meet Justin Wilford (IFS practitioner, writer, and former academic) who for some sick reason has two PhD's. But that is all in the past. Now he is full time working with IFS (Internal Family Systems therapy) both client-work, teaching groups and retreats. COME and be with us as we explore the core ideas of IFS, including multiplicity, Self, burdens and the UB's, and the insight that our parts are not just protective, but sacred.

"What are the deeper psychological needs trying to be met through this new technology? What are the hidden archetypal patterns at play in turning to the prospect of a different kind of mind, a mind not quite human, perhaps a mind that is more than human? In this liminal space, we find a spectrum of fantasies ranging from a coming utopia ushered in by the potentials of these immaculately conceived technologies, to the enslavement or destruction of humanity by rogue AI that has outsmarted its programmers."* WELCOME to such a rich episode, where technological philosopher, mythologist, futurist...

This is the second part of our (yes, yours and mine!) meeting with Kingsley L. Dennis, who holds a PhD and works as a full-time writer and researcher. He is the author of more than twenty-five books and numerous articles, making it no small task to choose what to focus on!! But today is long planned job (planned by myself Mannah)of me bringing some challenging questions to Kingsley, as I recently read his 2020 book "The Modern Seeker: A Perennial Psychology for Contemporary Times." We explore what the perennial path is, and how it can be expressed through the modern language of psychology....

In her book Black Paths and Green Cathedrals: A Guide to Ecological Paganism, Sian Sibley writes: "greed and gluttony are not just permitted, they are encouraged, driven by a profiteering media that feeds our fears because fear sells. And yet, no one ever tells us what ‘enough’ even means. We are kept hungry on purpose, starved of contentment, because a person who knows they have enough is a person who cannot be controlled." WOW. This wow factor goes all through our conversation. So welcome dear listener to TAP into a conversation about: -How working with trees is very different from...

”Using astrology psychologically is not a recent trend, though; it was widespread among the alchemists of Europe, such as Paracelsus and Athanasius Kircher, who sought to undergo the great work or magna opus of transforming and transmuting the self. Astrology later attracted the attention of Western psychologists and psychiatrists” (quote from Maja D’Aoust) TAP in with us as we speak of: Shadow work, subconscious influences, counter-part, your double ganger and alter-ego and why it is so important and so natural! Here are some of the themes we talk about: -The unexpressed energy in...
info_outline"Once we start to think of the mind as itself consisting of a kind of “space”, which other fields of influence can shape, distort, or form pathways within, there are many obvious parallels with the physics of the cosmos." Quote from our guest today Phil Mollon, who is currently with this new book: "The Physics of the Mind – New Perspectives for Psychotherapists, Healers and Seekers", 2026, by Karnac Books. Phil Mollon, PhD, is a psychoanalyst, clinical psychologist, and energy psychotherapist. He is well-known as a writer and speaker on topics including shame, trauma, dissociation, self-psychology, and EMDR – and has pioneered the development of
psychoanalytic energy psychotherapy.
TAP in as we speak about:
- How the human mind is a fractal of cosmos
- Quantum in the dreamworld
- Therapy and superposition
- The unified field is a self-organizing living system
- How information is stored holographically and the structure of the brain follows a holographic pattern and minds are organs for dealing with information!
- The physics is as usual a little beyond my understanding (Mannah here) so here is a qoute from the book to help: "The mind and brain display quantum qualities. Although the brain influences consciousness, there is also a way in which consciousness selects brain states in both self and other." This is when we speak of the primacy of consciousness
- What does it imply that we are plasma?
- The concept of mental radio
- In closing Phil shares something to reflect on; the parallel of the speed of light and of thoughts (Here is a quote from pga 62 that underlines that: "A computer with a slower processor can do most of the same tasks as a faster processor, just more slowly. Many educational systems fail to recognise neurodiversity and the relativity of different brains and modes of learning (Forchelli et al., 2022). Moreover, there can be advantages in slowing the presentation of information right down, as in meditation. The equation indicates that as the movement of conscious focus slows towards a point, intelligence expands towards infinity!")
I hope you were inspired!!
