THIRD EYE DROPS Michael Phillip

Philosopher, Scientist, Author and mystic, Dr. Tom Cheetham enters the mind meld.
Video episode 👈
Like nearly all of my favorite thinkers, Tom holds multiple kinds of wisdom. He has a rigorous academic background in philosophy and science. He even spent years as a biology and environmental studies professor. But, even with all of that technical expertise, Tom still thirsted for something more, something beyond the material. That something more arrived in the form of mythopoetic geniuses like author and psychologist, James Hillman, Carl Jung and, especially, philosopher and author Henry Corbin. The above wizarding triad led Tom to a decades-long on-going obsession with understanding the visionary, and the imaginal. The realm Corbin called the "mundus imaginalis."

Neuroscientist and DMT researcher and author, Dr. Andrew Gallimore returns to the mind meld!
In this one, we dive deep on visionary molecules like DMT. Is it possible that it opens your brain up to alien communication or even other realms? What do these experiences of high-strangeness tell us about consciousness?
We also riff on the incredible DMTx (extended-state) studies coming out of Imperial College London, the unbelievable research on the horizon, and much more.

Plato's Allegory of the Cave is a powerful tale. Not only is it one of the oldest versions of what, today, we'd call the "matrix" or "simulation" scenario, it's the most practical, prescient, and esoteric. In fact, Plato's cave and the Republic at-large contain occulted layers of meaning that scholars are still discovering and debating about to this day. In this transmission, we'll summarize the tale and do a deep dive into its more esoteric, often missed layers of wisdom.

According to legend, the Tarot may reach back as far as ancient Egypt. Origins aside, the Tarot orbits numerous fascinating historical figures and events. Its archetypal symbolism is incredibly deep and is carefully tailored around major elements of western esotericism. Some of which stretch back to Neoplatonist geniuses like Proclus.
And, oh yeah, there's even a wizard battle or two in this episode!
