Philosopher, Scientist, Author and mystic, Dr. Tom Cheetham enters the mind meld.
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."

Professor, philosopher and best-selling author, Richard Tarnas Ph.D returns mind meld!
Richard is the author of Passion of the Western Mind and Cosmos and Psyche. He served as program director at the iconic Esalen Institute for a decade where he rubbed shoulders with great minds like Joesph Campbell, Terence McKenna, Ram Dass, Alan Watts, James Hillman, Stan Grof, and many more. Tarnas has an encyclopedic knowledge of history, philosophy, and spiritual traditions.
In this one, we continue our conversation about the crucial role of Platonism, Jung, depth psychology and the romantics in sense-making. Grappling with the modern meaning crisis. Developing a felt sense of the sacred in everyday life. The importance of initiation and altered states. The need for archetypal fluency, synchronicity, and much more.

Neuroscientist and DMT researcher and author, Dr. Andrew Gallimore returns to the mind meld!
In this one, we dive deep on visionary molecules like DMT. Is it possible that it opens your brain up to alien communication or even other realms? What do these experiences of high-strangeness tell us about consciousness?
We also riff on the incredible DMTx (extended-state) studies coming out of Imperial College London, the unbelievable research on the horizon, and much more.
