earth: a love story Robin Lassiter

On this episode of the podcast, Jon Hartigan from
@samsara.is.for.lovers⁠ is back. On this episode, we get right into it with Pluto’s Return and what it means for the 2024 Election, Gaza, substance use disorder, why
fentanyl is being put in the drug supply, and much, much more.

"Even though punk rock is dead", says Jon, "its spirit lives on".

We find that revolutionary spirit exploring a secret third option about how to engage with all of this. How the best way to bust out of the Empire, the best way to weaken the systems of oppression are through connection to each other. It sounds simple, but tune in. It’s powerful and experiential and relational and beyond all of the conceptions and simulacrums of ideas that we’re swimming in these days. This all speaks to the orientation I’m feeling towards a collective of people who are not collapsing the narrative down into easy us vs them answers but who are holding paradox and space for something new to emerge. The feeling that the fringes of society, the edgedwellers, the weirdos, the mystics, wanderers, artists, experiencers, the people who aren’t neatly situated inside of the consensus reality Overculture, are who are needed in this time. I think it’s the scrappy counterculture who will live new stories into being, stories that we need as we face the multitude of crises which are arising (and yes, I include myself in that counterculture, even though I live a docile life in the shire in a little hobbit dome in the middle of nowhere).

"I am still punk rock", I whisper into my chamomile tea at 830pm on a Friday night.

 Also, don’t get me wrong. Even as I say Fuck the Empire and call upon us to enter into a bloodless
(r)evolution through Joy (more coming on that concept soon), I am also well aware that we are the Empire. I am the Empire. I am the Overculture. It is in me and I am it, even as I do the work to decondition and dissent.

In this episode, we get into all of that, and throughout the
conversation Jon delivers a dharma talk that weaves in Tibetan Buddhist cosmology and practices. He also talks about harm reduction in a way I’ve never heard before and which really changed and enlivened me.

Speaking of scrappy kids and the fringe, I really love hearing everyday people’s stories. If you have a story about a wild experience, or if every time you listen to this podcast you feel like you have something to say

On this episode I welcome author Mike Fiorito back onto the podcast. We have a wonderful conversation and explore themes from Mike's new book "For All We Know", which is available for pre-order.

Also, I take care of some housekeeping (AKA FIRETENDING) at the beginning of the podcast, talking about some radical new frequencies that are coming through. The podcast is changing, The Bridge Collective is changing, the work is deepening. I have this burning clarity and am being called to lay out the journey that I know so so well, for the benefit of all of us. Stay tuned! The next episode will be a solo episode called The Final Death of the Small Self, highlighting a story I've never told, and a pivoting moment on the path - maybe the initiating moment on the path.

(Can you tell I've been in a firehose-download mild and not so mild mania for a week or two? And that I've had some caffeine today?)

Vom dot com part two. Why do I do this to myself.

Guys, things are changing in the my world, moving faster than the speed of light at the moment. Putting this episode out feeling like it's not all the things I want to say, but here for the ride through the liminal, together. F**k it and f**k yes, I am here I am here I am here.

Also, the "dot org" got cut off at the end of the podcast and there's nothing to be done. So just imagine I'm saying it. honeyheart dot org.

This is a bonus episode (podswap!) where Cas Bullis interviews me on her podcast Cosmic Cowboy Roaming the Weird West. Cas is an intuitive healer and holistic animal sports therapist who runs Pivot Holistic Healing. Through her own healing and experiences, she's come to understand the deep relationships people share with their pets, and how imbalances can be mirrored between them. She seeks to address these imbalances through a macrocosmic approach within in person and online sessions, helping both people and their pets come back to a balanced state, and she provides empowering education so that people can take the reins of theirs and their pets' healing journeys.

This week on the podcast I speak with Mark Burchick, a filmmaker and artist from Baltimore, MD who is exploring anomalous studies topics in his artwork and research. He most recently presented a paper, co-written with Diana Walsh Pasulka, about using AI art programs to visualize encounter experiences with angelic beings from the Catholic tradition. He also wrote a recent episode of Kelly Chase’s UFO Rabbit Hole podcast discussing the “Black World” of government secrecy and the work of artist and researcher Trevor Paglen.

Mark and I discuss his childhood which was shaped by intense fear of alien abduction, his strong desire for devotion and connection to God, as well as his certainty that due to world events and online religious prophecy, he wouldn’t live to see his adult years. We talk about sexually coded ecstatic religious experience, his work around Marian apparitions, AI, and rose petals as acheiropoieta - or religious objects not made by human hands. We even take a little detour in Gnosticism (at my insistence) and Mark shares an experience of sending himself a message from the future.  This is a good one, folks.   Please enjoy.
