Jamie Wheal | Bad Faith Techno-Jesus & The War For America
A recording of a Substack LIvestream on 4/1/25 I hope you enjoy this conversation with Jamie Wheal, founder of The Flow Genome Project and author of "Recapture the Rapture", among other books. We started with a discussion about Silicon Valley’s sudden embrace of Christianity, which Wheal characterizes as “a little soft, chewy 15% center of semi-sincere yet rudderless seekers, and 85% opportunistic pile on.” Along with Wheal, Erik Davis and Jules Evans have written about the new techno-Christianity recently. Wheal said: “Dude, I think the era of looking for or tracing or tracking or policing or calling out ideological inconsistency is over, because the people who are the least coherent and consistent don't give a fuck about coherence and consistency. So you're sort of like spluttering and puffing like an old modern major general. No one gives a fuck anymore. You just play through. Everyone's like, “What about her emails?” I don't care. But how are terrorists part of a conservative free market ideology? It doesn't matter. And the same with Silicon Valley's turn to Christianity. It's like, ‘Wait, did Jesus really say build bombs? Did he really say build a totally fucking satellite-enabled fascist surveillance state and say it's for Jesus and for Western values and to defend civilization and the Shire? Oh, by the way, the Shire, don't forget, because we're hobbits. We're not orcs.’ You know, it's loopy.” Jamie Wheal on Substack: ================================== Please subscribe to the LIminal News Substack Newsletter! Please buy my books!

A recording of a Substack LIvestream on 3/5/25 Brett Scott is a campaigner, monetary anthropologist and former broker. He is the author of The Heretic's Guide to Global Finance: Hacking the Future of Money and Cloudmoney: Why the War on Cash Endangers Our Freedom. Brett has appeared in a wide range of TV shows, radio broadcasts and documentaries, including BBC World News and Sky News. He has written extensively on financial reform, digital finance, alternative currency, blockchain technology and the cashless society for publications like the Guardian, New Scientist, Huffington Post, Wired Magazine and CNN.com, and also publishes the Altered States of Monetary Consciousness newsletter on Substack. Excerpt from our discussion: “One of the things I'm interested in right now in terms of the underlying ideologies or the seeming inconsistencies between them is something I was calling in my last piece, "fractal libertarianism." Again, I'm still unsure about this, but if you look at the underlying image in a libertarian worldview—which is a native cosmology in capitalism anyway—it’s of the solo islands, right? Each man is an island. This is the division that Margaret Thatcher put out: "There is no society, there are only individual men and women."

Nafeez Ahmed | Crisis As Opportunity (Substack Livestream 3/1/25)
A recording of a joint Substack LIvestream on 3/1/25 I have been in intermittent contact with Nafeez Ahmed over the years. We are both systems theorists with many areas of overlap. What became clear during our dialogue is that we share a very similar — almost identical — analysis of the current geopolitical crisis. We also share a number of ideas about how to address it. Dr. Nafeez Ahmed is the founder of the Age of Transformation, a newsletter exploring what he calls ‘the planetary phase shift’ and Director of the System Shift Lab, a systems transformation consultancy based in London. A systems change expert, Ahmed has worked with some of the biggest organisations in the world, including United Nations agencies, national governments, Fortune 500 companies, and the world’s largest philanthropic foundations - helping to build and deliver high-impact change strategies. The Evening Standard has twice named Nafeez in its Power 1,000 list of the top most influential Londoners. His award-winning journalism, praised by the Sunday Times, The Guardian, The Independent and many others, has been read and watched by millions. His new book is "Alt Reich: The Network War to Destroy the West from Within (2024)": an investigative history of how the Nazi-aligned Pioneer Fund has given birth to a global far-right network on the cusp of subverting Western democracies.

Rather, this is the inevitable consequences of decades of Western economic and military dominance built on short-term exploitation, corruption, and global predation. Trump's role is to mask this systemic unraveling with populist rhetoric while enabling the true power holders, the transnational, financial, and corporate elite, or what Bolsen calls the anational owners and controllers of global financial capital, to consolidate their wealth, power, and control as America is hollowed out and broken.” IG: FB: Substack: ================================== Please subscribe to the LIminal News Substack Newsletter!

Jay Michaelson | A Jewish Psychedelic Buddhist Tells All!
Would the full deregulation of psychedelics be a good thing? In today’s podcast, author Jay Michaelson and I discuss the rapidly evolving legal and cultural landscape of psychedelics, including their potential fast-tracking under the new Trump/Musk/RFK regime. Will deregulation — long a goal of advocates — make it more difficult to responsibly integrate these powerful substances into society? We also explore broader societal concerns, such as the erosion of democracy, systemic inequality, and the tension between technological advancement and cultural decay. I hope you enjoy it! Michaelson is the author of ten books, including and the National Jewish Book Award-winning . He is the Field Scholar at the Emory Center for Psychedelics and Spirituality and will be a visiting professor at Harvard Law School in Spring 2025. He holds a Ph.D. in Jewish Thought, a JD from Yale, among other degrees. He clerked for Judge Merrick Garland. As a journalist, his work explores the intersections of politics, religion, and ethics, appearing in Rolling Stone, The Forward, and his Substack, Both/And. He was also the Supreme Court columnist for The Daily Beast. Michaelson blends Jewish, Buddhist, and secular mindfulness traditions, frequently teaching at universities, companies, and religious institutions. ================================== Please subscribe to the LIminal News Substack Newsletter!

Laura Loomer | Should Elon Musk Be King Of America?
Recently, investigative journalist and MAGA mainstay Laura Loomer was "deplatformed" on Twitter/X by Elon Musk, for comments about the H1B visas. Loomer describes herself as a "free speech absolutist" whose book, Loomered, chronicles how she was previously censored and banned by tech platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and even UberEats. For many Leftists, this seemed a big "I told you so" moment: it was obvious to many on the Left that Trump was an opportunist whose alliegiance lies with the billionaire class. For Loomer and other MAGA members, there is a dawning sense of betrayal and perhaps the beginning of class consciousness, as it becomes clear that Trump's alignment with Musk could lead to a system of technocratic control without the free speech and support of American workers they were anticipating. The rift between the MAGA base and the tech billionaires who joined the campaign recently could be a bump in the road or a portent of more serious ruptures to come. ================================== Please subscribe to the LIminal News Substack Newsletter!

Brett Scott | The Seductive Emptiness Of Bitcoin
BRETT SCOTT. Like everyone else, I notice the skyrocketing value of Bitcoin compared to anything else. On the one hand, feel uneasy about it, yet, on the other, I wonder if I should invest my paltry life savings into the stuff. Bitcoin seems to defy any economic law of gravity to keep going up, and up, unattached to anything tangible or real. To address my uneasiness, I spoke with Brett Scott, who writes the Altered States of Monetary Consciousness newsletter and is the author of a few books, including "Cloud Money: Cash, Cards, Crypto, and the War for Our Wallets and The Heretic’s Guide to Global Finance: Hacking the Future of Money". Brett is a friend, and one of my go-to people when I feel confused — bamboozled? — about cryptocurrencies and other money-related stuff. He helps set me straight.

Essentially, the necessity of shifting from democracy to something that's more authoritarian or autocratic.

Paul Levy - "Undreaming Wetiko"
A pioneer in the field of spiritual emergence, Paul Levy is a wounded healer in private practice, helping others who are also awakening to the dreamlike nature of reality. His work has gone through three phases: because of his intense interest in dreams (both night dreams and the dreamlike nature of reality), he was first known as "the dream guy." After writing Dispelling Wetiko, he became associated with the idea of wetiko. After the publication of The Quantum Revelation, he is now seen as connected with quantum physics. All three aspects - dreams, wetiko and quantum physics are interconnected and complementary facets of a deeper reality into which he is continually deepening his investigation. He is the author of The Madness of George Bush: A Reflection of Our Collective Psychosis (2006), Dispelling Wetiko: Breaking the Curse of Evil (2013), Awakened by Darkness: When Evil Becomes Your Father (2015) and The Quantum Revelation: A Radical Synthesis of Science and Spirituality (2018). A Tibetan Buddhist practitioner for over 30 years, he has intimately studied with some of the greatest spiritual masters of Tibet and Burma. He was the coordinator of the Portland chapter of the PadmaSambhava Buddhist Center for over twenty years. ================================== Daniel Pinchbeck: !

In his new book, "Breaking Together", Jem Bendell argues we are experiencing the collapse of industrial civilization due to the ecological and climate crisis. A former Professor of Sustainability Leadership at the University of Cumbria, Bendell defines his position as Left “eco-libertarian,” supporting human freedom outside of centralized corporate and government structures. He proposes that, often, this freedom is best expressed in tight-knit communities living in balance with their environment. He argues against hyper-technological approaches such as carbon capture or geo-engineering, in favor of humans relearning traditional methods that are inherently resilient and regenerative, and reinventing small-scale communities.

He attended seminars and conferences with Alan Watts, Stan Grof, and many other luminaries. For many years, he taught the only university course on the topic of psychedelics to be found in the US, at Northwestern Illinois University.

Daniel Pinchbeck interviews Carolyn Elliott, PhD. I was so happy to interview my old friend Carolyn Elliott about her book, "Existential Kink", and her new Sleepover Mystery School. I find her perspective fascinating and helpful. In addition to being an author, Carolyn has helped thousands of people turn their lives around in her one-on-one coaching and online programs. She specializes in helping people use shadow integration and the alchemy of the psyche to create tangible, concrete results in their lives along with profound spiritual growth.

Bernardo Kastrup, PhD - Is Consciousness The True Basis Of Reality?
Daniel Pinchbeck interviews Bernardo Kastrup, PhD. Kastrup is an author, philosopher, and director of the Essentia Foundation. A former scientist with CERN and engineer working in AI, Kastrup believes that consciousness, not matter, is the foundation of reality, which is ultimately mental in nature. His books prove this philosophy with logic and rigor, and explore the social implications of "analytic idealism."
