The Ancient Futurist Savej

On this episode of the Ancient Futurist Podcast, I dive in with my good friend, fellow Louisiana swamp native, and former Christian pastor Mike Tharpe to discuss his journey of deconstructing Christianity and paving a new path for himself towards his personal spiritual and intellectual freedom.



Mike has an extremely interesting and meandering journey through Louisiana upbringing, attending bible school, becoming a pastor, excommunicating himself from the Christian church, then discovering plant medicines and recognizing them as true sacraments.



This conversation dives deep into the constructs of organized religion, belief systems, allegory vs. history, the spectrum of beliefs within the same doctrine, shame and guilt, true intellectual freedom, the purported consequence of eternal damnation, and much more.

On this episode of the Ancient Futurist Podcast, I have a multifaceted chat with my friend and renowned filmmaker, Ben Stewart. We first met while spending a week together drinking ayahuasca in Costa Rica, during which we experienced 3 very profound ceremonies.



Ben's incredible filmmaking work has left him well-researched in a variety of topics and this conversation spans the gamut. We dive into the magic of the myofascia, biophotons, ayahuasca, DNA, AI/machine learning, ceremonial music, future timelines of humanity, and more.



Ben Joseph Stewart is an American filmmaker, musician, writer, and philosopher who is known for his thought-provoking documentaries and lectures on topics such as consciousness, spirituality, and metaphysics. He has produced several documentaries, including "Kymatica," "Awake in the Darkness” with Aubrey Marcus, the “Psychedelica” series on Gaia TV and "DMT Quest," which have gained a following among those interested in alternative perspectives on reality and spirituality.

On this episode of the podcast, I sit down with former NFL player Joe Hawley. Joe has an inspiring story of deep transformation stemming from his decision to leave the dream in order to live the dream. After choosing to voluntarily leave the NFL to seek deeper purpose, he embarked on a mission of self-discovery that led him to plant medicine, meditation, community, vanlife, and much more. Unsupported by many of his teammates and loved ones, Joe's decision to leave behind the pro-athlete dream made little sense to those surrounding him. He listened to his heart, changed his internal definition of "success", and has no regrets. Joe is an all-around awesome human being and I genuinely enjoy his curious energy and our conversation.



Joe is a former NFL star who played for both the Falcons and the Buccaneers. After 8 seasons, he decided to walk away from the game, leaving him seeking purpose, identity and community. This transition propelled him on a journey of deep healing and self-discovery. He gave his possessions to charity, adopted a dog, and traveled nomadically in his van across the US for 2 years in search of an answer to the deeper meanings of life. This quest led him toward a wide array of healing modalities including yoga and plant medicine. He found his purpose through transformational wilderness expeditions that he hosts through his business, The Härt Collective. He is also an author, speaker, and host of a popular podcast called Life Beyond The Game.

Megan Bhatia and I met a while back at Soltara Healing Center in Costa Rica, and instantly recognized our shared curiosities surrounding many aspects of the human experience. We had so many interesting conversations that I really wanted to bring her on the podcast to dive into some of these topics.



Megan views everything through the lens of relationship, and she has a fascinating framework surrounding the complexity of the word "relating" itself. Everything exists only in relationship. Though we discuss polyamory on this episode, the overall concept of relating we dive into extends far beyond romantic relationship. Relating with other people, things, circumstances, emotions, etc., is always a means to relating deeper to ourselves.



In the first part of this episode, we discuss the infinite nuances of what the word "relating" actually can mean when we bypass cultural norms, and Megan's nuanced personal experience with polyamory.



Later in the episode, we pivot to other topics including the Law of One, the fascia's role in connecting the mind and body, processing emotions, the educational system, and how all of these things circle back to relating. Megan is also the host of Amory podcast, where she and her two partners share vulnerably about their experience navigating polyamory.



Megan is also the host of Amory podcast, where she and her two partners share vulnerably about their experience navigating polyamory. She now works with people to develop healthy, loving relationships starting with themselves. After traveling with her twins and two partners to over 14 countries in the last 4 years, she now happily calls Costa Rica her home.

On this episode of The Ancient Futurist Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Andrew Gallimore for a psychedelic conversation that won't disappoint. We deep dive on the fascinating and mysterious world of DMT, discussing the importance of furthering our understanding of encounters with extradimensional intelligences, emerging technologies designed to map out the psychedelic worlds, and the neurochemistry and pharmacology of DMT. Andrew and I share a deep recognition of the importance of understanding psychedelics as biotechnologies which allow us to access other facets of reality and expand our understanding of both the human brain and the cosmos.



We also discuss in detail DMTx, a multi-faceted research program focused on extending the DMT state through the use of calibrated intravenous drips, allowing for longer and more controlled immersion in the worlds experienced via DMT, as well as aiming to establish extended contact with the intelligences so often encountered by those who enter this realm.This was a wonderful conversation, and is a must-listen for those interested in DMT, neurobiology, the pharmacokinetics of psychedelics, entity encounters, and where this is all heading.



Dr. Andrew Gallimore is a computational neurobiologist, chemical pharmacologist, and writer, living and working in Tokyo. He is the author of a range of articles and research papers on the science of psychedelic drug action, as well as two books: 'Alien Information Theory: Psychedelic Drug Technologies and the Cosmic Game' and the recently released 'Reality Switch Technologies: Psychedelics as Tools for the Discovery and Exploration of New Worlds'. His current interests lie in the neuropharmacology and ontological implications of psychedelics, and how they might be developed as tools for communication with alien intelligences inaccessible to normal waking consciousness.

As a society, we are beginning to recognize a widespread disconnection from our bodies and nervous systems. After a few episodes that largely revolved around understandings of the mind and consciousness, I was excited to sit down with Steven Jaggers to dive into the innate intelligence and 'hidden' mechanisms within the body. From anxiety medications and antidepressants, to things as simple as comfort foods, we often tend to reach for external ways to regulate our nervous systems....forgetting that we always possess what is potentially the most potent regulation tool for the job: the breath.



On this episode, we discuss the science of breathwork, how and why to activate the parasympathetic versus sympathetic nervous systems, the similarities between breathwork and psychedelic experiences, and more. While awareness of this field is rapidly growing, I'd say it's still far from common knowledge. When they become common knowledge, these modalities just might revolutionize many aspects of health.



I hope you enjoy this conversation about ways to rekindle the connection between the mind and body.



Steven is the founder of Somatic Breathwork, a new breathwork modality designed to help people get out of their thinking minds and into their bodies. Passionate about human optimization and structural/intuitive movement, Steven has a background in teaching Kinesiology, Anatomy, Somatic Therapies and is a Neuromuscular Therapist. He hosts the Mind Body Mentor podcast which interviews some of the top experts in health and wellness today.
