    THIS is gonna sound weird. So is THIS. Also this, this, this & this. And THIS with Otherworldly Experiencer and Author Dana Louise

    THIS is gonna sound weird. So is THIS. Also this, this, this & this. And THIS with Otherworldly Experiencer and Author Dana Louise

    Greg's guest this week, Dana Louise, is a dedicated professional and loving mother who navigates her life with a grounded approach. Growing up in Minnesota, she embraced the cultural values of her upbringing, balancing her professional pursuits and personal passions. Married with children, Dana skillfully maintains everyday family life while managing her career. She has run a food truck, appeared on reality shows, and authored a book ("THIS is gonna sound weird"), demonstrating her entrepreneurial spirit. Dana values the timing and discretion needed to share her personal experiences, always prioritizing her family's peace of mind. Her interactions with neighbors and participation in community activities reflect her commitment to public engagement and openness.

    And despite facing online negativity, Dana continues to seek meaningful connections and embraces her life’s purpose.

    That doesn't sound strange. That doesn't sound too bizarre or outlandish or dare we say..."different", right?

    Everything you always wanted to know about sex * magick but were afraid to ask with Moon-Rose Magick, Temple Mistress & Eros Artist

    Everything you always wanted to know about sex * magick but were afraid to ask with Moon-Rose Magick, Temple Mistress & Eros Artist

    *Or maybe Greg was afraid to ask....or was he just intrigued? Certainly curious.

    The dark feminine energy is rampant in this episode and it'll draw you in, make you feel electric from head to toe, and you'll wake up from this sacred erotic trance podcast conversation with a much deeper appreciation for the divinity in hedonism (and in yourself).

    Moon-Rose Magick is a tantric, shamanic goddess, eros, lover, mistress, priestess, speaker, teacher, performer, healer, facilitator, host, awakener, creative and erotic artist.

    ......we promise this is much less lame than Burning Man.

    Moon-Rose Magick joins Greg to talk the taboo, Illuminati rituals, kink, devotion, mastery, alchemy, eroticism and how it all intertwines with the spiritual realm as a pathway towards personal transformation.

    No, this isn't just an invitation for you and your husband to stare each other in the eyes again for a very uncomfortable period of time. It's a conversation of play, tapping into Jungian shadows and archetypal depths through sensuality, exploration, and the human connection.

    Ready to navigate the intricate relationship between the sacred and the profane? Between the sensual and spiritual? Between the naughty, the nice, and lots of other toys that hopefully aren't on Santa Claus's request list?

    Love yourself.

    Treat yourself.

    Play with...your headphones.

    23Me and the Annunaki: Evidence of ET Genealogy with Archeologist Ki'Shara Ninki

    23Me and the Annunaki: Evidence of ET Genealogy with Archeologist Ki'Shara Ninki

    Ki'Shara Ninki. She's that special kind of researcher/writer/explorer/archeologist/occult theologian that ruins your family meal by passing around laminated charts of your bloodline and tracing your ancestry back to metaphysically enabled lizards from Mars.

    She's invited to Greg's seders any time she wants.

    On this non-stop mind- blowing marathon of a conversation, Ki'Shara shares things you've never heard before on other paranormal/UFO shows, but does one thing a lot of guests can't: supports all her claims with EVIDENCE.

    That's right: Ki'Shara has the stuff to fill in the gaps of Michael Cremo, Graham Hancock, Erich von Däniken, and Flint Dibble's fashion choices.

    In this episode, you'll learn about the mysterious connections between humanity and the celestial genealogies that stretch across the cosmos—discover how our very existence may be intertwined with the stars!

    You'll rediscover Ancient Wisdom, diving deep into forgotten societies and the esoteric knowledge of the ancients, including powerful Sumerian deities and lost narratives that have shaped human spirituality and history.

    You'll even tap into the Psychic Realms, discovering how ancient insights align with modern psychic training to unlock profound psychic abilities you never knew you had!

    And finally, brace for impact as Ki'Shara and Greg delve into explosive revelations from previously classified documents. Learn about the covert operations and hidden truths that have influenced major historical events!

    I mean, it's not any weirder than a dude parting the Red Sea if you really, really think about it....

    ...Come, think with us. Oh, and Happy Passover. It's Open Loops.

    The War of START: Mental Fitness for the Too Analytical, Fearfully Cynical & Clinically Clinical with Personal Change Agent and Neurolinguist James Tripp

    The War of START: Mental Fitness for the Too Analytical, Fearfully Cynical & Clinically Clinical with Personal Change Agent and Neurolinguist James Tripp

    How does bashing the ineffectiveness of today's obsession with mental health turn into a deconstruction of "conspiracy theory consciousness?"

    It's James Tripp's 4th appearance on Open Loops, that's how! Known for his work in advancing hypnosis without trance, his mastery of neurolinguistics, and his natural ability to foster personal change, James has perspectives unlike any you've ever heard. Some'll shock you, some'll go against everything you've held dearly, and most will open up your unconsciously limited views of what's possible for you to achieve.

    James and Greg delve into: mindset shifts, hypnosis, influencing change, the spectrum of mental health to skills, personal growth mechanisms, overcoming creative resistance, balancing creation and consumption, navigating life's meanings and choices, insights on meaningful productivity, reevaluating life quality, the interplay between happiness and conspiracy theories, critiquing biases, political ideologies, understanding courage, and balancing creativity with obligations.

    And in that order! (The timestamps got messed up...just roll with it).

    You'll walk away with clarity, choice, and personal power.

    .....And if you're lucky, Andrew Huberman might think you're cute.

    It's an all new mind-bendy ride for your intellect and imagination on Open Looooops....

Awesome

Greg, your my new favorite! Thanks for keeping an open mind, open heart and free spirit and sharing all of this exciting information! I look forward to listening to your shows! Please keep making them! Your the best!!!

This is one of the best podcasts if you interested in seeing the “other side” of reality. You don’t necessarily have to believe it all, but the host brings in guests and let’s them speak and he always asks those burning questions that you want to know. He does it with an open mind and heart allowing the listener draw their own conclusions. I appreciate this platform, it’s so open and inviting and I love listening and always look forward to the next show! Great podcast!
