    CT33: Sonic Alchemy: Grateful Dead’s Role in SHAPING Psychedelic Traditions and Co-Creating REALITY as Our Human Purpose!

    🌟 Welcome to Episode 33 of Casual Temple! In this enlightening episode, Jake Weaver shares his transformative journey from suburban youth to the creator and host of his podcast, "Midnight on Earth." Influenced by the psychedelic counterculture and the music of the Grateful Dead, Jake's experiences at concerts led to profound spiritual awakenings and encounters with psychic presences. 
    Jake draws intriguing parallels between jam band culture and mystery schools, both of which facilitate personal transformation through energetic experiences. He reflects on the cultural impact of the Grateful Dead, the spread of psychedelics, and their shamanic elements, while also discussing the future potential of psychedelics in society and their possible legalization. 
    Starting as a comedic take on politics, Jake's podcasting journey evolved into a platform for sharing spiritual insights, inspired by Art Bell's "Coast to Coast AM." His experiences with the Harmonic Egg, a healing technology using sound and light, further influenced his spiritual path. 
    Jake explores the concept of predictive programming in media, the evolution of humanity towards love and connection, and the importance of daily spiritual practices. He emphasizes the distinction between body and consciousness, advocating for an identity aligned with angelic beings and higher morals. 
    The episode concludes with thoughts on co-creating reality and the power of subconscious programming. Jake's narrative weaves together themes of music, mysticism, and metaphysical exploration, highlighting the profound impact of psychedelic experiences on personal growth and spirituality. Tune in to embark on this captivating journey with Jake Weaver.

    CT 32: Einstein's SCIENCE of COMPASSION as the 5th Fundamental Force of the Universe!

    CT 32: Einstein's SCIENCE of COMPASSION as the 5th Fundamental Force of the Universe!

    🌟 Welcome to Episode 32 of Casual Temple! Today, we're thrilled to introduce a truly extraordinary guest, Barbara With who is an award-winning author, publisher, and peace activist. Barbara is renowned for her global travels and teachings and is the co-founder of Conflict Revolution, a method aimed at resolving internal conflicts with the belief that inner peace can lead to world peace.
    Barbara's journey as a psychic channel began in 1987, following her career in songwriting and music performance. She formed the **Psychic Sorority** in 1993 with Kim and Theresa, conducting sessions where Barbara would channel information that was then recorded and transcribed.
    One of her most fascinating endeavors is channeling Albert Einstein's wisdom, sharing insights on his unified field theory, exploring human consciousness, and teaching the science of compassion. In fact, during the 100-year anniversary of E=MC², Barbara channeled Albert Einstein, resulting in a unified field theory, something Einstein himself couldn't achieve in his lifetime.
    Barbara refers to a "map of human consciousness" that works with three human dimensions and provides a scientific, quantifiable definition of compassion, described as the 5th Fundamental force of the universe. She has published essays on M theory, World Peace, and the science of compassion, and has participated in the **Science of Consciousness Conference**, receiving affirmation from scientists.
    In her day-to-day spiritual life, Barbara emphasizes the balance between intuition (divine feminine) and intellect (divine masculine) in Conflict Revolution. She believes that inner work is the work of World Peace and encourages people to continue their inner work.

    CT 29: The WINDING Magical Path of Musical Inspiration, Spiritual Integration & MOVEMENT with Aidan Wachter

    CT 29: The WINDING Magical Path of Musical Inspiration, Spiritual Integration & MOVEMENT with Aidan Wachter

    🌟 Welcome to Episode 29 of Casual Temple, where we delve into the enchanting, musical world of Aidan Wachter. With over four decades of experience in magic, Aidan's unique, non-dogmatic approach has been shaped by his time in nature, introspection, and deep breathing. He's the author of three insightful books on the subject: Six Ways, Weaving Fates, and Changeling.

    Aidan's journey doesn't stop at magic, he's also a music enthusiast with a rich history that runs parallel to his magical exploration. From jamming to 70s bands like Jethro Tull and Rush, to discovering punk rock with bands like Sex Pistols and The Damned, Aidan's musical journey is as diverse as it is profound. Aidan's musical taste spans from the early albums of The Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees to experimental bands such as Throbbing Gristle.

    We'll discuss how music influences our lives, from travel rituals to moving into a new place. For Aidan, both music and magic serve as forms of communication. He views different magical practices as ways of creating distinct languages or sentences, making music a tool he can use just like magic.

    And of course, we'll delve into magic and its role in connecting us with very real worlds that are critical to our survival as a species.

    So, sit back, relax, and join us for a deep dive into the magical and musical world of Aidan Wachter. Let's get started!
