Just in time for the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus happening on April 20, 2024, we talk about what liberation actually means to us: liberation from slavery, liberation from capitalism, liberation from ego, liberation from the small human world of “rationalism.” We share some stories from our experiences as undercover investigators of what we call the “horse poop economy” in New Mexico, expose the phony gurus running desolate retreat centers, and tie it all back to what’s happening with Buddhism in America right now…. a wild and unpredictable ride, as usual! At the very end Katana reads her piece about what it means to be a Vajra Warrior.

The three pillars of our spiritual path are: Death is no big deal (at the base of the triangle), Be Yourself (On one side of the triangle), and Do What You Love (pointing to the peak of the triangle, which is liberation!).

"Buddhist Magic" by Sam Van Schaik

Here we are in the midst of another season of uncertainty and change, right in the middle of the Aries-Libra eclipse portal with a blast of Aries energy: North Node, Sun, Venus, Mercury (retrograde), Chiron, and soon to be the new Moon in Aries as well! A big infusion of warrior medicine, and an excellent opportunity to refresh our memories about what spiritual warfare really means, and how to engage in it with honor and courage on a day-to-day basis. We share some personal info about the changes in our lives, as well as one of our other new ventures, LandHorse Consulting -- if you’re curious to know more about what we’re actually up to in life, please check out our new website at www.landhorseconsulting.com.

We are trying to welcome the Great Bodhisattva of Hell by taking the medicine of suffering and transmuting it into ruthless compassion. Our wish for this podcast is that the truth of our experience will help inspire others to face their own lives with courage, honesty, and Aries-style ACTION!

Welcome to Season 3 of our podcast! Today’s discussion was a quintessential example of how we work: no real agenda, no guidelines, no specific topic – we just follow the inspiration where it leads, and speak honestly and authentically from the heart. This is what it’s like to be alive and living outside the bounds of mainstream society – wild, unruly, deep as hell, and connected to all things. We talked a little bit about Gene Simmons, a little bit about horses, and quite a bit about Derek’s story of transformation. A real, human, alive conversation that we hope you will participate in.

This episode is dedicated to Toni, whose death two years ago today was a catalyst for Derek’s spiritual awakening, and whose courage in facing the ultimate transformation inspires both of us to live as fully as we can each day.

The Vajra Economy is our term for the truth of how things actually work underneath capitalism, beyond materialism, in the realm of eternal, indestructible love. We are in the process of understanding this system as we live our philosophy in action each day, discovering the path forward and sharing what we learn with others as we go. This is a decentralized system of love-based transactions, a multi-lifetime economy where your savings account is built by compassionate, courageous actions in line with the truth. The Vajra Economy is already here, waiting for you – it’s ok to let go of the old system and to step forward into the reality of love.

The introductory piece read in this episode was written by Katana and can be found in writing here. The graphic on the cover of the episode was designed by us and turned into a digital image by Nica Quinn, whose work can be found at nicadrawsnature.com.

Fight back against the robots, think for yourself, and join us on the grand adventure of being a free, wide-awake human in a dark age!

…and remember, no matter how it looks at this moment, Everything Is Working Out Perfectly (EIWOP)!

We are recovering from many lifetimes of difficulties, traumas, losses, and different types of pain. Everyone has this kind of pain (as does the Earth herself). The question is just what are you doing with it? The path of healing is also difficult. In the true spirit of being ourselves completely, in this episode we talk from the heart about how it feels to be living on the edge. Even with all the pain we have experienced, we feel hopeful, and we feel love, so we are sending that energy out to you in hopes that you can feel it too. We’re all comrades on the road – if you need a jumpstart to keep going, hopefully this episode will help you out a bit.

Fight back against the robots, think for yourself, and join us on the grand adventure of being a free, wide-awake human in a dark age!

With the South Node of the Moon in Libra being trined by Mars and Venus in Aquarius, we were inspired to take on the shadow side of Libra in this episode through its current form as political correctness. THE TRUTH is what is most important for us (and for everyone) at this moment, and is the medicine we all need to wake up and start living from our own authentic, alive hearts. You can tell the truth – to everyone – and you can trust yourself to know what is right, how to be loving, and how to treat other beings without anyone else telling you what to say/think/do! It is part of your intrinsic birthright as a sentient being, no matter what your physical body looks like in this incarnation.

The title is in no way affiliated with Aleister Crowley. Katana said "Love is the Law" during the episode, so we used it. So......... take that!! We don't condone any Golden Dawn type shit on this podcast!

With Mars conjunct Pluto in Aquarius and Venus crossing into Aquarius as well while we recorded this episode, we were feeling particularly irreverent towards the old traditions and old mindset that is hanging on for dear life. It’s time to let go!!! We are heading into the future, and we need new ideas and new energies to make it happen. We’re all on the same ship and it’s time to turn the ship around. Are you with us??! If so, send us a message (and we’ll send you a poem).

Episode cover photo is of Katana's mother Lynne, a Pluto in Leo spirit helping us from the other side.

If used properly, a torch should light the way of its bearers into the unknown future, shedding light to allow us to see things we couldn’t before. Astrology is one such torch we rely on daily to find our way to Mount Parnassus, and Steven Forrest is one of the light workers who led the way to where we are right now. Honoring the giants on whose shoulders we stand to peer into the Aquarian future is an essential part of our work to preserve what is worth saving in human civilization. We were honored to have Steven join us in this episode to talk about reincarnation, karma, astrological poetry, and finding meaning in our lives during a dark age, and we’re confident you will find the conversation enlightening as well!
