Beitman explores the experience and ramifications of meaningful coincidences, including how synchronistic happenings came to define his own life. Building on Carl Jung’s groundbreaking work on this phenomenon, Beitman applies new insights on coincidence, synchronicity, serendipity, and related phenomena to the contemporary age, ultimately helping readers begin to better identify patterns of synchronicity in their own lives, find deeper meaning, and more consciously align with their personal life path and goals. Synchronicity holds vast potential not only for individual personal growth but for the future of the human race and the Earth itself.

Topics include architecture, consumerism, dystopia, hauntology, popular culture and science fiction. A liminal space is a physical place or a psychological state of transition, characterized by being 'in-between' or on a 'threshold' between one state or location and another. The term originates from the Latin word 'limen' (threshold). These spaces often evoke feelings of eeriness, nostalgia, or unease because they are temporary and lack clear purpose for prolonged occupation. Examples include empty hallways, abandoned malls, or the periods of adolescence and major life changes, like a pandemic. Bumper music: Cliff Martinez ‘Traffic OST’

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Andy Thomas discusses his book Strange: Paranormal Realities in the Everyday World In Strange, Andy takes a fresh and vital look at the paranormal with incisive analysis to make the case that encounters with it are far more common than is acknowledged and that they urgently need re-evaluation. During his three and a half decades of research, Andy has met countless witnesses and now it is time for their stories to be told. Sceptics, of course, dismiss all such encounters, but what if they are wrong? Using up to date evidence and with the help of a panel of open-minded scientific experts, Strange delves into many previously unrecorded true-life tales from around the world. Ghosts, UFOs, psychic powers, out-of-body-experiences and beyond, Strange constitutes one of the broadest and most insightful assessments of unexplained phenomena ever carried out, investigating their possible causes and profound implications.

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Keith Preston discusses his book Philosophical Anarchism and the Death of Empire More than half of the world's countries are democracies, even if in name only. Democracy is hailed by its advocates as the only rational political system, producing the best outcomes for the greatest number of citizens. But is this belief grounded more in ideology than reality? Are modern democratic governments actually doing more harm than good when it comes to the daily lives of individuals? Although the very idea may be regarded as unthinkable, democracy is essentially a gentrified form of mob rule and its failings are becoming increasingly obvious both in the West and in imitator countries around the world. And yet no matter how bad things get, few can even imagine an alternative. However, in Anarchism, a much maligned set of social, cultural, political, and economic models, genuine alternatives exist, and Preston makes a convincing case on their behalf. His recent study in anarchist theory and practice is committed to the promotion of decentralised societies, autonomous regions and localities, self-managed municipalities and villages, stateless tribes and voluntary associations, peoples’ militias and federated communities: the foundations for a new, diversified world even as the old world is falling apart.

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Paul Devereux discusses his book Stone Age Soundtracks - The Acoustic Archaeology of Ancient Sites. Until recently, almost all archaeological insights have been gleaned by looking at ancient remains. Now archaeologists are starting to think beyond the visual. One of the most exciting branches of the new multi-sensory archaeology is archaeoacoustics, the archaeology of sound. Ancient civilizations developed far more than fine artwork and magnificent monuments. In songs to their gods, laments for their dead, and the universal human quest for the supernatural, people also made some very strange noises. Boulders and stalactites incised with prehistoric rock art that ring like bells and gongs, a Bronze Age 'stone drum' alongside a Russian lake that can be heard for miles when struck, ancient rock paintings and petroglyphs that have secret 'soundtracks', Mayan ruins that emit echoes mimicking the calls of sacred birds, mysterious temples and tombs possessing eerie acoustic effects, Amazonian shamans who use subtle sounds to guide people through drug-induced visionary states, Stone Age musical instruments, and megalithic sites that seem to move when subjected to certain sounds... all this and much more is explored in Stone Age Soundtracks. '''Without acoustics, archaeology is deaf...' And in looking back to hear the old stones speak, maybe we can learn how to move forward. http://www.pauldevereux.co.uk/ http://www.landscape-perception.com/ Related interview: Gary Evans - Listening to the Past Bumper music: Cliff Martinez 'Traffic OST' Ruhr Hunter 'Denned Earth / Decay and Rebirth'

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Gary Lachman discusses his book The Secret Teachers of the Western World. This epic study unveils the esoteric masters who have covertly impacted the intellectual development of the West. Running alongside the mainstream of Western intellectual history there is another current which, in a very real sense, should take pride of place, but which for the last few centuries has occupied a shadowy, inferior position, somewhere underground. In this clarifying, accessible, and fascinating study, Lachman explores the Western esoteric tradition as a thought movement with ancient roots and modern expressions, which, in a broad sense, regards the cosmos as a living, spiritual, meaningful being and humankind as having a unique obligation and responsibility within it. This is in stark contrast to much of modern science, which sees the universe as a meaningless flow of matter and energy, and human beings as pointless accidents.

Humanity is entering a momentous phase in its history. Being born today is a generation of children that will radically reinvent human society, moving our culture from competition, control, and censorship toward connection, communication, and compassion. The Phoenix Generation's impact will begin to be felt in 2030, but there much to do to prepare for their arrival. The Phoenix Generation will work toward forming a planetary society, a transition more radical than the shift from agrarian to urban life during the Industrial Revolution. These children are being born with increased instinctive intelligence and with a greater degree of inherited wisdom. With them, the quantum revolution begun 100 years ago will become mainstream. This will bring about a shift away from external dependencies in the realms of politics, economics, health, education and many more. This normalizing of new perspectives, cosmic awareness, and of multi-dimensional realities will usher in a great wave of change. The Phoenix Generation is a deeply positive exploration of our collective future. www.kingsleydennis.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez 'Traffic OST' Tangerine Dream 'Exit to Heaven'

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Ervin Laszlo discusses his book The Self-Actualizing Cosmos - The Akasha Revolution in Science and Human Consciousness. Science evolves through alternating phases of 'normal' science and radical shifts that create scientific revolutions. We saw this at the turn of the 20th century, when science shifted from a Newtonian worldview to Einstein's relativity paradigm, and again with the shift to the quantum paradigm. Now, as we recognize the non-local interconnection of all things in space and time, we find our scientific worldview shifting once again. The Self-Actualizing Cosmos explores the genesis of the current revolution in scientific thought and the latest findings in support of the Akashic field. It explains how the burgeoning Akasha paradigm returns our way of thinking to an integral consciousness, a nonlinear mode of understanding that enables us to accept the reality of nonlocal interconnection throughout the world. This new inclusive way of understanding reaffirms the age-old instinctive comprehension of deep connections among people, societies, and nature, and it integrates and transcends classical religious and scientific paradigms. Providing examples from cutting-edge science of quantum-resonance-based interactions among all living systems, Laszlo shows the cosmos of the Akasha to be a self-actualizing, self-organizing whole, where each part is in coherence with all others and all parts together create the conditions for the emergence of life and consciousness. The advent of the Akasha paradigm marks a new stage in science's understanding of the fundamental nature of the world and offers unique guidance for contemporary efforts to create a peaceful and sustainable world. www.ervinlaszlo.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez 'Traffic OST' Tangerine Dream 'Rubycon'

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Patrick Lepetit discusses his book The Esoteric Secrets of Surrealism - Origins, Magic and Secret Societies. Not merely an artistic or literary movement as many believe, the surrealists rejected the labels of artist and author bestowed upon them by outsiders, accepting instead the titles of magician, alchemist or witch. Their paintings, poems, and other works were created to seek out unexplored regions of the mind and recover lost psychic and magical powers. They used creative expression as the vehicle to attain what André Breton called the 'supreme point', the point at which all opposites cease to be perceived as contradictions. This supreme point is found at the heart of all esoteric doctrines and enables communication with higher states of being. Drawing on an extensive range of writings by the surrealists and those in their circle of influence, Lepetit shows how surrealism employed mythology, gnostic principles, tarot, voodoo, and alchemy not simply as reference points but as significant elements of their ongoing investigations into the fundamental nature of consciousness. He provides many specific examples of esoteric influence among the surrealists, exploring the relationship between surrealism and Freemasonry, Martinists and the Elect Cohen as well as the Grail mythos and the Arthurian brotherhood.

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Paul Burley discusses his book Stonehenge: As Above, So Below - Unveiling the Spirit Path on Salisbury Plain which identifies the original design and purpose of the Stonehenge ritual landscape. Stonehenge remains one of the most profound mysteries on Earth. We know almost nothing about the people who built it, how they did so, or why. As with the pyramids of Egypt, it seems impossible that Stonehenge could have been constructed using the primitive tools and methods prevalent at the time. Theories about its purpose have ranged from an astronomical observatory to a scared ceremonial, burial or even sacrificial site. What seems clear, however, is that ancient civilizations the world over possessed an innate understanding of the relationship between the cycles of life, death and rebirth, and those of the wider cosmos. The belief that life is everywhere and in all things and that all things are interconnected was fundamental to their worldview. It is vital to keep this in mind when contemplating the enigma that is Stonehenge. Stonehenge: As Above, So Below will change your understanding of the people who built the first and largest monument and many other mid-Neolithic structures that remain vital to the functioning of this sacred landscape. You will discover that the Stonehenge landscape is the oldest and best preserved example of astronomically-related sacred symbolism ever constructed. It is a major breakthrough unveiling a new paradigm for how Stonehenge was used over five thousand years ago, and how we should view it today. www.asabovesobelow-pauldburley.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez 'Traffic OST' Black Sabbath 'Stonehenge'

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE World-renowned geologist James Maxlow discusses the theory of Expansion Tectonics. In a startling challenge to conventional geology, Expansion Tectonics suggests that the Earth has not always been the same size. Hundreds of millions of years ago, it may have been much, much smaller, with vast implications for the past, present and future of life on this planet. A single super-continent called Pangaea dominated Earth 300 million years ago. But whereas Plate Tectonics states that it existed surrounded by a huge super-ocean, Expansion Tectonics suggests that it covered the entire planetary surface. As the planet expanded - about 100 million years ago - so the spaces currently occupied by the great oceans opened up. Expansion Tectonics offers a radical overhaul of many accepted ideas about the Earth. It can help explain patterns of evolution, how life spread across the planet, catastrophic mass extinctions, and mysteries such as how and when Antarctica could once have been lush, green and free from ice. The theory therefore has relevance to Earth changes that we are witnessing today. It also poses many fascinating questions: if the planet is expanding, where does the additional matter come from? What, if anything, can it tell us about the origins of the Earth? Is expansion occurring on other planets, in other galaxies or even throughout the entire Universe? With or without Expansion Tectonics, the Earth does continue to expand, although the rate - just a few centimeters per year - is stretched across such a vast timescale that it has barely registered since human beings first evolved. However, should it continue, life on Earth will once again be profoundly transformed during the next few million years. www.jamesmaxlow.com www.expansiontectonics.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez 'Traffic OST' Dynatron 'Dust of Saturn'

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Stephen Hurrell discusses his book Dinosaurs and the Expanding Earth. The previous show is directly related to this one. You may find it useful to listen to it first, It can be found here. When Dinosaurs and the Expanding Earth was first published it proposed a startling idea to explain the long-standing puzzle of the dinosaurs' vast size. Some paleontologists have suggested that many dinosaurs' bones were simply not strong enough to support their enormous weight. Hurrell, however, presented scientific evidence that dinosaurs lived in reduced gravity and this allowed them to grow to gigantic proportions. The Reduced Gravity Earth theory explains why life - including dinosaurs, plants and insects - evolved towards a larger scale on the ancient Earth. It is also a key piece of evidence that provides additional support for an Expanding Earth, something a number of leading geologists have been suggesting for decades. Expanding Earth theory postulates that hundreds of millions of years ago, our planet was much, much smaller, gradually growing over time as it accrued material from elsewhere in the solar system. For reasons still debated, the dinosaurs, and indeed many other ancient forms of life, did not survive the Earth changes that beset them. If such changes are in fact not in the distant past but actually still underway, what could this mean for the future of life on Earth? As changing gravity and Expanding Earth claim to answer some of the most vexing questions about life on this planet, what might they suggest about life elsewhere in the solar system, the galaxy and the entire Universe? www.dinox.org Bumper music: Cliff Martinez 'Traffic OST' Dynatron 'Stars of the Night'

Stephen Buhner discusses his book Plant Intelligence and the Imaginal Realm: Beyond the Doors of Perception into the Dreaming of Earth which reveals that all life forms on Earth possess intelligence, language, a sense of I and not I, and the capacity to dream. It shows that by consciously opening the doors of perception, we can reconnect with the living intelligence in Nature as kindred beings, once again become wild scientists, non-domesticated explorers of a Gaian world. Buhner explains how to use analogical thinking and imaginal perception to directly experience the inherent meanings that flow through the world, that are expressed in each living form that surrounds us, and to directly initiate communication in return. He delves deeply into the ecological function of invasive plants, bacterial resistance to antibiotics, psychotropic plants and fungi, and, most importantly, the human species itself. He shows that human beings are not a plague on the planet - they have a specific ecological function as important to Gaia as that of plants and bacteria. Buhner shows that the capacity for depth connection and meaning-filled communication with the living world is inherent in every human being. It is as natural as breathing, as the beating of our own hearts, as our own desire for intimacy and love. We can change how we think and in so doing begin to address the difficulties of our times. www.gaianstudies.org Bumper music: Cliff Martinez 'Traffic OST' Michael Stearns 'Planetary Unfolding'

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE David Fideler discusses his book Restoring the Soul of the World. For millennia the world was seen as a creative, interconnected web of life in which we participated deeply. But when the world came to be described as a lifeless, clock-like mechanism during the Scientific Revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries, life and intelligence came to be seen as existing only in human beings, and nature came to be increasingly viewed as an object of exploitation that primarily exists to meet human needs. This also led to a profound sense of alienation, since human beings no longer had any real bond with the world. In Restoring the Soul of the World, Fideler throws light on the unexamined connections between science, religion, and culture, and how our deepest worldviews have influenced the ways we relate to the world, other people, and our innermost selves. The book traces the ancient vision of living nature along its entire course: from its roots in the World Soul of the Greek philosophers, to its eclipse during the Scientific Revolution, to its return today. Drawing upon the most important scientific discoveries of recent times, Restoring the Soul of the World shows how the mechanistic worldview has broken down, and presents a new vision of living nature and our own intrinsic bond with the deepest structures of the cosmic pattern. By learning from and collaborating with nature's intelligence, we can bring the world to fruition by viewing nature as a teacher and creative partner, and help to regenerate the Earth's living systems. www.thesouloftheworld.com www.cosmopolisproject.org Bumper music: Cliff Martinez 'Traffic OST' Klaus Schulze 'This Island Earth'
