Paul Sutton and Greg Moffitt in conversation.

Popular culture – TV, films, literature – both reflects society and influences it. In an increasingly repressive and ‘woke’ artistic world, is fantasy now the style best suited to commentary on the so-called ‘real world’ where political correctness dominates discourse at the expense of freedom of speech? Where we once had cutting satire to ridicule politics, religion, academia, the arts and so on, we now have more subtle and supposedly safer forms of subversion which seem to reflect a general retreat into unreality in our day to day lives. Identity politics, online safety acts and hate speech laws have muted millions for fear of castigation or even criminalization, and creativity is suffering as a result.

At every level of society, from personal to global, we face mounting crises in The 3 Es – Energy, Economy, Environment. These have been well documented on this podcast right back to its beginning in 2012. But they're nothing new. The first major signs of pinch points involving all three arguably first appeared during the oil crisis of the 1970s. Since then, national, international and global institutions based on and attempting to exert control over these systems have been dominated by the idea that there is a technological solution to every problem. However, at the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, problems with energy supply and the monetary system are becoming increasingly difficult to manage.

What this may mean for our day to day lives is finally beginning to manifest in mass consciousness, even as technocratic government and corporate elites scramble to suppress the gathering signs of systemic stress and ultimately, collapse. The current war in Iran should give us pause as we watch an advanced society struggling to cope without water, without food, without power, without communications. Is it time to consider how such crushing constraints might impact you in the not too distant future?

Western science has had remarkable success in explaining the functioning of the material world, but when it comes to the inner world of the mind, it has very little to say. And when it comes to consciousness itself, science falls curiously silent. There is nothing in physics, chemistry, biology, or any other science that can account for our having an interior world. In a strange way, scientists would be much happier if minds did not exist. Yet without minds there would be no science. This ever-present paradox may be pushing Western science into what Thomas Kuhn called a paradigm shift – a fundamental change in worldview.

Peter is one of the leading thinkers on consciousness and contemporary spirituality and author of a number of books including From Science to God: A Physicist’s Journey into the Mystery of Consciousness, Waking Up in Time: Finding Inner Peace in Times of Accelerating Change and The Global Brain: The Awakening Earth in a New Century. He believes that the critical challenge today is to free human thinking from the limited beliefs and attitudes that lie behind so many of our problems – personal, social, and global. His mission is to distil the essential wisdom on human consciousness found in the world’s various spiritual traditions, and to disseminate their teachings on self-liberation in contemporary and compelling ways.

Thomas Lombardo and Greg Moffitt in conversation.

In a universe portrayed in the modern age as being utterly devoid of meaning and purpose, emotion is often regarded as little more than human weakness. There is a widely held view that emotion should certainly play no part in major decisions and actions, be they politics, business, science, or war. But what if emotion were actually one of the fundamental features of consciousness itself, guiding its evolution?

Against a background of the overall origin and nature of consciousness, we ask: What if it is in fact impossible for emotion – and its partner motivation – to be separated from thinking and reason? What if they are essentially two sides of the same coin? Science is driving the development of the technologies which will most affect our future: renewable energy, food production, employment, medicine, finance, surveillance, and international security. And yet it is a falsehood that science – or anything else in the realm of human affairs – can somehow operate independently from human emotion and motivation. If this is understood and integrated, we have a better chance of a future less motivated by greed, power, hatred and revenge.

As we lurch on into the early part of the 21st Century, converging crises in energy, economy, and environment are rapidly undermining the foundations of industrial civilization and the materialistic way of life which so many of us take for granted. Energy – because cheap, easily accessible fossil fuels are running out and industrial civilization as we know it simply cannot be sustained by renewables. Economy – because at almost every level, global, national, corporate, and personal, we are drowning in debt that cannot and therefore will not be repaid but whose unravelling will cause mass destruction of governments, banks, entire industries, and millions of lives. Environment – because centuries of industrial civilization have wreaked havoc on the biosphere, triggering catastrophic climate change while poisoning the ecosystems on which life on Earth depends.

Factor in population growth, mass migration, and escalating terrorist threats, and you have a dangerously unstable situation. Despite the protestations of puppet politicians, elite economists, and utopian scientists, no amount of wishful thinking, money printing or shiny new technology will ride to the rescue. The Prius of our dreams is heading straight for the brick wall of reality, and the current convulsions such as the Brexit referendum in the UK, the impending implosion of the European Union, and the election of Donald Trump as US President are but the latest wave of woes crashing on the shore of a fantasy future we fashioned for ourselves in a brief moment of gas guzzling madness. Under the illusion of invincibility we still tell ourselves that ‘this time it’s different’ but as we shall soon discover, forces far beyond our control have other ideas. In his most uncompromising work to date, John Michael Greer maps possible futures for America during the hard times ahead and it’s clear that before things get better, they’re going to get a lot worse.

Jim Hoggan discusses his book I’m Right and You’re an Idiot – The Toxic State of Public Discourse and How to Clean it Up.

Today, we are ‘sick of politics’, weary of personal attacks taking the place of real debate, and numb to the lies of those in power because ‘everyone’s doing it’. From politics to so-called entertainment, everything seems to be about conflict and confrontation. We appear addicted to negativity. It is said that we are living in a ‘post-truth’ era where facts don’t matter and the line between real and fake news is steadily dissolving. Infantilization and political correctness stifle critical thought and even our fundamental ability to reason. The very meaning of words has become fluid and language limited in an Orwellian pincer movement. Cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias keep us trapped in bubbles of wishful thinking, unable to face or even acknowledge the converging crises facing the world in the early part of the 21st Century. We suffer from information overload and yet millions are poorly informed. Worse still, this dumbing down looks deliberate. But if indeed it is being orchestrated, who – or what – is doing it, and why?

Considering the irreducible complexity of the human brain and the sense we often have of our bodies feeling more like part of the external world – a vehicle or conduit if you will – while our inner selves, our consciousness appears to reside ‘elsewhere’, we ask: Is mind within matter or matter within mind? What and where is consciousness? Is it merely an epiphenomenon of the brain, or is it the origin of all that is? We consider altered states of consciousness, including so-called mental illness, and ask what purpose, if any, they might ultimately serve. Under certain circumstances, such altered states seem to offer glimpses of a much wider reality beyond that normally perceived by our five senses.

Building on the ideas of Aldous Huxley and his Doors of Perception, we ponder notions such as past lives, reincarnation, the collective unconscious, and what happens to our world if indeed time, space, and matter are not fundamental. Do we then exist in an unimaginably vast computer simulation? Are we simply avatars in a cosmic computer game? And if so, then who – or what – is in control? Maybe you have a sense of something else – something long forgotten, only now half remembered… Are these clues left here for us to find in time? Or merely glitches in the matrix of our own minds?

The Druid Code sets out to examine the wider concept of magic and mythology being utilised as an early form of social psychoanalysis by the druids, how magic theory developed from this, and how this evolution of ritual magic eventually made its way into folklore, witchcraft and Freemasonry. From the proto-shamanic world of the megalith builders, to lost civilisations of the Atlantic fringe, along with the continual changes and challenges to the human experience in the face of traumatic cultural upheaval, the druids and their legacy have played a far more influential role than has been previously acknowledged. The Druid Code utilises mythology connected to sacred sites, developing a bidirectional conduit back through time, to reveal what took place in 2500BC – a shift in human consciousness that made humans what we are today. Issues discussed include:

• The decline of Christianity in Europe.
• The universal myths and legends of global disasters in the ancient past, and the lost Golden Age.
• The nature of our ancestors’ consciousness and how it differed from ours.
• Resistance to evidence which dates ancient sites as much older than currently accepted.
• Transhumanism, technocracy, and the struggle to shape the future.
• More ancient, less primitive: Will rejection of science as the only way to understand reality birth a new era of magical, mythical human consciousness?

From Atlantis to alchemy, you will never see history in the same way again.
