Philosopher, Scientist, Author and mystic, Dr. Tom Cheetham enters the mind meld. Video episode 👈 Like nearly all of my favorite thinkers, Tom holds multiple kinds of wisdom. He has a rigorous academic background in philosophy and science. He even spent years as a biology and environmental studies professor. But, even with all of that technical expertise, Tom still thirsted for something more, something beyond the material. That something more arrived in the form of mythopoetic geniuses like author and psychologist, James Hillman, Carl Jung and, especially, philosopher and author Henry Corbin. The above wizarding triad led Tom to a decades-long on-going obsession with understanding the visionary, and the imaginal. The realm Corbin called the "mundus imaginalis." 🥰 Support TED and join the community on Patreon 🎧 Sub and Review on Apple Podcasts  🎧 Sub and Review on Spotify  👁Watch and Subscribe on Youtube 🌀 Website

🥰 Support TED and join the community on Patreon Watch the video version here! Plato's Allegory of the Cave is a powerful tale. Not only is it one of the oldest versions of what, today, we'd call the "matrix" or "simulation" scenario, it's the most practical, prescient, and esoteric. In fact, Plato's cave and the Republic at-large contain occulted layers of meaning that scholars are still discovering and debating about to this day. In this transmission, we'll summarize the tale and do a deep dive into its more esoteric, often missed layers of wisdom. 🥰 Support TED and join the community on Patreon 🎧 Sub and Review on Apple Podcasts  🎧 Sub and Review on Spotify  👁Watch and Subscribe on Youtube 🌀 Website

🥰 Support TED and join the community on Patreon As above, so below -- Don’t mistake it for a new age platitude. It's an adage that has inspired seekers for centuries and is being proven true by cutting-edge science. Full video version here 👈 But it’s more than an idea, it’s personal. It’s a portal that transports the psyche to deep hidden wisdom and a felt sense of interconnected mystery. In this transmission, I invite you to enter that portal portal with me. We'll explore the ancient origins of the idea from Plato's Timaeus to the Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus. We'll discuss how Carl Jung brought it down into the psyche through synchronicity and archetypes. We'll see how science seems to be proving it as literally true. 🥰 Support TED and join the community on Patreon 🎧 Sub and Review on Apple Podcasts  🎧 Sub and Review on Spotify  👁Watch and Subscribe on Youtube 🌀 Website 
Tom Matte enters the mind meld! Tom was a successful advertising executive with a family, but it all came crashing down. After a battle with substance abuse and an intense bender, Tom had a psychotic break and lost everything. He eventually recovered, reconciled with his family, and got his business back on track, but the story doesn’t stop there. Even after over a decade of sobriety and being a functioning member of society, something about Tom’s perception changed permanently. He’s able to see and interact with what seem to be hidden layers of reality. He sees what appear to be holographic projections, mathematical objects, fields, higher geometry, and, yes, beings.  Tom calls this mode of perception “upsight.” But these aren’t just claims — Tom’s brain and abilities have been studied. In fact, there’s a paper undergoing the peer review process that seems to verify that Tom is interacting with something strange.  🥰 Support TED and join the community on Patreon 🎧 Sub and Review on Apple Podcasts  🎧 Sub and Review on Spotify  👁Watch and Subscribe on Youtube 🌀 Website

Who are the movement's major figures? Why did religious authorities attempt to destroy any trace of their existence? What wisdom do they still have to offer us today? Why was Carl Jung so fascinated by the Basilides of Alexandria (an important gnostic figure)? We riff on all of the above.

It (and this episode) is a deep dive into complexity theory, consciousness, cosmic evolution and what Bobby calls poetic meta-naturalism: The idea that the universe is not a product of randomness, but an iterative, directed evolutionary creativity. This natural creativity, Bobby argues, seeks to complexify, connect and become more conscious. 🥰 Support TED and join the community on Patreon 🎧 Sub and Review on Apple Podcasts  🎧 Sub and Review on Spotify  👁Watch and Subscribe on Youtube 🌀 Website
