Garden of Thought

Welcome back Rex Bundy. He tells his journey of enlightenment and the purposes of his writings. What could be called Bundyism, is a merger of science and religion. We discuss some specific quantum physics reflected in the Pentateuch, or the 5 Books of Moses. Please enjoy this universal conversation brought down to ground level by your humble straw person (me).

The NWA's AJ Cazana joins me to discuss elections. THE NWA Presidency of course. What did you think? We discuss free and fair elections. how nepotism is a lie, how his father won a free and fair election - easily, and how many ways AJ is over his brother.We also discuss some aspects of the potential new podcast effort between he and Silas Mason. This conversation goes far and wide but sticks tomy core topics of wrestling kayfabe, breaking a little kayfabe, and talking about the alternative parts of the world. There's a fair amount of confusion over the corner store clerk's name and why Hunter Drake is always around.A few shout outs to Aron Stephens may have happened.

I never thought a former member of Iran's Republican Guard would reach out to me. But here we are. How does a guy born in Italy, moved to New York then Califormia, end up in Iran, placed on a nofly list, get his passport seized, and ends up in the IRGC? All before age 18? Meet Sherman. He's also half Jewish on his father's side. Oh. He barely spoke Farsi. What could go wrong? 2 years of military brig living, secret police interrogations, and overseen by a religious magistrate. Yet, he ultimately got out..only to have to return again. A story so odd, you have to hear it for yourself. Luckily you can. Just hit play.And yes, we do address the current protests in Iran and the expected state of play regarding regime change.

When she's not dabbling in fiction, she's armwrestling with her two kids, attempting to seduce her husband, andarguing with her sassy cats.This is her second appearance on the show.

He just wants to make sure his girlfriend makes it out of thejungle—alive.The deeper they dig into the past, the more they must confront a deadlytruth: Some places should never be disturbed!

I've often wondered why is someone considered a prophet. Like, good enough to be considered one from a scriptural standpoint. What did they see, dream, write and say? So I turned to a student of scripture. The Torah to be specific. From "Good and Sweet Torah", we welcome back Laivi Schor to go over what is prophect? Why did prophecy end? When does it return? And who were the prophets of what you might call The Old Testament. We go through a bunch, but there's no time to visit them all. Who knew? Turns out, we'll have to do a separate show on Ezekial. I really am fascinated by Ezekial and the Merkaba.We're all going to visit the plagues on a future episode. Those plagues. And others.

Stephen Hawley Martin is the author of over 30 books. His publishing company has published dozens more. We discuss his recent book which is about almost everything the human mind and the hive mind that we actually share via some type of cloud. Some call this the Akashic Field. Others simply call it the Universe. The scientific field studying it is called Noeticism.Martin was also an Adept in the Rosicrucian Order. We discuss the myths and truths of this secret society. We also discuss the tenets and other aspects. From Pharonic Egypt through the Enlightenment to the present.

She's been a guest on The Book of Black. She's a former WCW Nitro girl and professional wrestler. She's been a playboy model and pin up model. She's played football with Carmen Elecktra, An avowed conspiracy theoriist, health and fitness authority, and a content creator. She's April Hunter.And she's also a deep thinker and ongoing student. Her A Show and other ventures explore topics not unlike this show.I was thrilled when I saw her post on the number 13 and it's many associations. Especially, the unfair modern constructs making it somehow incomplete or negative. We discuss the banished zodiac sign of Ophiuchus, different views from different cultures, and how so much about 13, you'll never think about the number the same way again.

in 1968, Erich Von Daniken exploded into the mainstream with his bestseller "Chariots of the Gods?". It became a movie 2 years later and Von Daniken wrote over 30 more books. More importantly, he brought to the fore the ancient alien theory that all the Gods, angels and demons, and architecture, glyphs and other wonders were all aliens, or alien inspired.But he didn't come out of no where. We explore his influences in fiction as well as his affiliations with the Nazis. Who's we besides me? Well, my old pal from school - and GoT fan favorite - Joey Restivo, and Professor John Hoopes of the University of Kansas )alum of Yale and Harvard too). Lovecraft - checkArthur C. Clarke - checkFermi's Paradox - checkL. Ron Hubbard - checkKubrick - checkSitchin - checkHancock - checkPlenty of fun and far ranging geek talk - checkWe explore the cultural fingerprint left by the Chariots of this enigmatic man,

The darkness lasts longer and the days are short. A gray mist hangs about the horizon. Fairy Tales aren't for the feint of heart. Returning guest, Jennifer Sutherland, goes into the scarier true versions and visions of Fairy Tales. Our award winning Poet and author helps us to revisit some of the well known properties and themes, that lurk just below your subconscious.

We are joined by Ishan Asand of Immigrant's First, PLLC, a law firm prophetically named in 2007. We discuss some of the developments in immigration and the novels issues before the system. We discuss the $100,000 H1B Visas and how they are different from other work Visas. We also discuss his firm's near total success in Habeus Corpus suits against the government and some of the distinctions between Immigration Judges and Federal District Court Judges.We discuss policies and politics and I probably ramble too much. But his firm will come on again and we'll strive to let them make the speeches. Probably.

“The Simpkinson NASA UFO: The NASA Photography That Rewrites the Story — A Special Episode of Garden of Thought”Host Jeff Lippman welcomes author Ed Wilson and technical director Seth Lamancusa for a deep and informed conversation about NASA mission photography, the preserved lithograph from a NASA founding engineer, cloud-pattern alignment, and scientific confirmations across multiple NASA camera systems. This episode offers a rare, evidence-based discussion of a topic often clouded by speculation.NASA’s Gemini XI mission photography captured a lenticular craft in 1966. A missing NASA photograph survived because NACA’s original Space Task Group Chief Engineer and one of NASA’s founding engineers preserved it as a lithograph only re-discovered in March 2023. Cloud-pattern alignment and scientific confirmation across multiple NASA camera systems verify its authenticity.This episode explores:authentic NASA mission photographythe preserved lithographic platecloud-pattern alignmentscientific confirmation across multiple camerasmission-film timing irregularitiesintelligence-photo printing procedureshow evidence remained hidden “under our nose”the scientific, historical, and cultural implicationsYou'll finish this show wondering about:Why some NASA imagery vanished from the public archiveHow the Simpkinson lithograph survivedWhat cloud-pattern alignment scientifically provesThe power of multi-camera confirmationHow CIA/NPIC procedures explain the artifactWhy this discovery changes the UFO/UAP conversation

Steven Kubacki vanished without a trace in 1978, only to walk out of a field 15 months later, claiming no recollection of anything that happened to him. In the decades since, millions of people have speculated about what happened, but Kubacki has never spoken about that “lost” time… until now. The Disappearance is the dramatic and never-before-revealed true account of how an idealistic college student went out onto the ice of Lake Michigan, and never really came back.Steven R Kubacki, PhD, is a believer in praxis, the old Greek word that denotes the making real of ideas and imagination through some form of action. He is not merely interested in the frontiers of knowledge but engages in activities and adventures—both physical and cerebral—to expand the boundaries of the possible. In his life’s work, he views himself as an applied philosopher or “Nexalist,” that is, a person who integrates knowledge and know-how across diverse domains in the sciences and humanities, so constructive ideas and theories to affect individual change and systemic transformation can be developed. These domains include psychology, economics, governance, sociology, anthropology, spirituality, literature, history, general philosophy, philosophy of science, and modern critical theory.

By way of Lithuania to Australia to the Garden, comes Kristina Dryza. She's a master of archetypes and mythology with a new age flair. Of course, new age is really just ancient age. Dryza helps us with our goddesses. Especially, those of Greece and Egypt. We discuss Hera and Athena. A bit about Demeter and Aphrodite. A touch of Artemis. Toss in a little Romanization too.We go across that pond and visit Hathor and Isis. Then we make stops at Inanna and some others.But we really explore archetypal themes rather than textbook definitions and descriptions. It's another far ranging and fun conversation with a new friend.
