Emerging Purpose Podcast Greg Donaldson

Adam J Malone is the Creative Director of The Tarot Experience VR. During his first MA in Myth, Cosmology and The Sacred, Adam’s interest in the power of mythic narrative brought him to focus on the divinatory system of the Tarot. Having written a dissertation in 2020 entitled ‘The Art of Transforming The World: Tarot and the Future of Immersive Experience’ Adam went on to study a second MA at Royal Holloway in Immersive Storytelling, where he graduated in 2021. Adam’s final piece for the course later became The Tarot Experience VR and aimed to prove his hypothesis that Tarot is an important immersive storytelling art form for the future. The experience was nominated as a finalist for ‘Experience of the Year’ at the VR Awards 2023. Adam’s professional and creative work is now focused on bringing meaningful and transformative experiences to the world of digital art, whilst his writing focuses on the power of myth, narrative and metaphor. Adam currently lives and works in East Sussex, UK and continues to read Tarot for those who can find him… somewhere in the Ashdown Forest.

In this episode it was my great pleasure to speak with Yap. Yap is a philosopher, singer, poet, artist and author. He was the lead singer of the metal band 'One Minute Silence' before turning his back on the music industry and exploring the underground poetry scene. His unique way of seeing the world has led him down a metaphysical path. He has spent his entire life studying the human mind in a bid to systemise it and thus create a cognitive scale for humanity.

This episode I had a wonderful conversation with Ann Mathie. Ann has a masters degree in the traditions of yoga and meditation from SOAS.

Ann has been practising yoga and meditation for nearly 20 years and has since completed her Masters in the Traditions of Yoga and Meditation from SOAS University with ongoing Sanskrit training. Her own experiences have pointed her toward a phenomenological investigation of the parallels between spontaneous Kuṇḍalinī awakenings and Buddhist and Yogic paths to enlightenment as well as cutting-edge consciousness theory. To draw sense from the varieties of extraordinary human experiences that can occur spontaneously, Ann studies metaphysical frameworks within the traditions of Yoga, Tantra and Buddhism in a scholarly context. Her previous research focuses on the phenomenology of Buddhist and Yogic experiences through meditative practice.

Her mission is to gain a deeper understanding of the psychological processes that can arise from spontaneous transpersonal experiences or deep meditation practice and how we can draw on thousands of years of collective experiences to safely support others walking this path towards greater wholeness.

We spoke about;
Spiritual emergency
Kundalini experiences
Wild energy
Harnessing spiritual energy
Vipassana meditation
Meditation techniques
Psychospiritual approaches
Rave culture
Self medicating
Community
Psychedelic experiences and integration
