Faking Your Own Death

Our chat with Tom Cheetham starts to cook....

 

Are religious states reducible to psychedelic trips? Do people experience death of self on psychedelics? What is the difference between death of self and being torn apart and pieced back together as a shaman? Is Jeremy Vaeni in agreement with Henry Corbin about Truth with a capital T and beings living from Truth’s 1st-person point of view?

Whew! All that and more in about  half an hour!

Paratopia 2024 Halloween Spooktakular

It's Halloween! Time to celebrate Jeff Ritzmann on his favorite holiday. How do we do that this year, you ask? By talking to two guests we never had on Paratopia whom Jeff would have loved engaging with: Mike Fiorito, author of For All We Know, a surprising and excellently-written novel about UFOs that runs in the direction of consciousness over materiality. And Allison Jornlin, co-creator of American Ghost Walks tours and blogger/creator for ParanormalWomen.com, who talks about hauntings in surprisingly deep and historically contextualized ways.

Surprising depths may surface here, but we give you no tricks! Only treats!

Beyond The Imaginal

In the third installment of this unique longform dialogue, Tom Cheetham takes us on a deep dive into the imaginal with Henry Corbin, Jeffrey Kripal, gnostism, angels, and … Is Jeremy Vaeni Moses? 

 

Once that's answered, we circle back to Tom’s iboga experiences in South America as touched upon last episode.

Paratopia 156: Marco's Missing Time

Marco, a relatively new listener, has answered the call for listener-based episodes. Here he narrates in great detail his bouts of missing time. This is a rare case of someone having missing time with absolutely no inkling of why. Unrelated to this, the town he recently moved to has a history of experiencing a booming sound phenomenon called “Seneca Guns.” We will learn as much as can be known about the Seneca Guns from him here as well.

Unprejudicing The Mind

When you grow up with strictly materialist parent, then end up spending most of your adult life in science, how do you break free to be a kid again? That’s the rough through-line of this conversation with Tom Cheetham that winds through numerous topics from channeling Henry Corbin, to guns and dominion, to the plant medicine iboga.

Paratopia 155: Dr. Kirby Surprise

Dr. Kirby Surprise, author of Synchronicity: The Art of Coincidence, Choice, and Unlocking Your Mind joins us to talk about what synchronicity is, what it is not, and how you can normalize it in your life.

But it doesn't end there.

Jeff and Jer bring Dr. Surprise down the rabbit hole of alien abductions and spirituality to see if his work is applicable to Paratopian findings. And you know what? The answer is... yes.

All of this leads to a spectacular afterchat where the hosts flesh out some startling new insights into the possible nature of ''contact.'' Aaaand then there's an EVP. And the ending is Blair Witch for real. Oh, this one has everything.

Buckle up! You can't find this ride any place else. (originally aired: 02.09.2012)
