This week's show is with Daniel Pinchbeck. Daniel is the New York Times bestselling author of Breaking Open the Head, 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, How Soon Is Now, and When Plants Dream (with Sophia Roklhin).

He hosted the talk show Mind Shift on Gaia TV and was featured in the 2010 documentary, 2012: Time for Change. He has written for many publications including The New York Times Magazine, Rolling Stone, Wired, Dazed & Confused, Purple, and ArtForum. He is the director of Liminal.news, an online course platform, and publishes a regular newsletter, Danielpinchbeck.substack.com .

In this conversation, Daniel and I explored the fascinating topic of Secret Histories and Spiritual Revolutions, why we need magic right now, and how our relationship to myth can reawaken our imaginative and intuitive faculties.

The quote we mentioned:

“What if at the higher levels of meaning consciousness is like a hyperspace in which each point is equidistant from the other and where ‘the center is everywhere and the circumference is nowhere? … The mythologies of the occult seem like baroque music: there is an overall similar quality of sound and movement, but, upon examination, each piece of music is unique; Vivaldi and Scarlatti are similar and different.” - William Irwin Thompson, Passages About Earth

I’d love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• Even as someone who spends a lot of time contemplating the importance of magic, it impacted me deeply hearing Daniel share about how Western esoteric knowledge in particular is largely missing in today’s world

• We, as a culture, have ridiculed and denied the truth and power of magic and esoteric knowledge, and there’s something very healing in reclaiming it

• I loved what Daniel said about how our relationship to myth can reawaken our imaginative and intuitive faculties. Humans live and think mythologically, that we are scientific and logical just isn’t true, the more we can make our mythical nature conscious, the more we can engage with myths in a generative and opening way

This week’s show is with the amazing James Tripp. James is an internationally recognised authority in the fields of self development, personal mastery and generative changework.

Coming from a diverse background including philosophy, music, martial arts, movement culture and NLP, James is also the developer of the Hypnosis Without Trance approach to hypnotic facilitation as well as author of the critically acclaimed book of the same title.

In his one-to-one work, James works with individuals looking to become better adapted in consistently creating outcomes they value and living lives they love. Since turning professional in 2007 his clients have included artists, filmmakers, entrepreneurs and business creators, c-suite executives, actors and performers, frontline services operatives, medical doctors, writers, special forces operatives and military veterans.

Beyond his one-to-one work, James has presented at conferences and run workshops across Europe, Australia and North and South America, and his ‘home turf (London and Edinburgh) workshops typically draw students from around the world.

In today’s show, kind of a part two to our recent episode, James and Lian explored the topic of the conversation you’re having with the world. They spoke about sovereignty, how all of us are changing in every conversation, and how we can be discerning about what we share with the world.

I’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• Whether it’s marketing or change work - we can have conversations which honour the sovereignty of everyone involved

• A conversation is two-way (or more) and everyone involved is changing as a result - recognising that allows us to be in conversations of any kind in a humble and open way

• Authenticity vs profilicity - your truth doesn’t need to be your whole truth, you can discern what’s aligned to share and what to keep private

This week’s show is with William Whitecloud. William is a best-selling author and a creative development trainer. His famous publications include The Magician’s Way: What It Really Takes to Find Your Treasure, The Last Shaman, and Secrets Of Natural Success; Five Steps to Unlocking Your Genius Through the pandemic, he made his foundational 5 day-training, Create Your Destiny, which he made available for free as a 5-week online course.

He is the founder and chairman of Natural Success which is a training and mentoring provider.

He now resides in Santa Monica, California where he enjoys time with his family, writing and at the same time developing movies.

In this show, William and Lian spoke about victim vs creator, what William means by both terms, how we can move to the apex above the swing… and what that will take… a lifetime of education.

I’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• Victim is experiencing life as happening to you vs Creator is experiencing life you happening to life… A simple distinction that we can notice in any moment.

• I loved how William described moving to the apex above the swing so we don’t identify with either side.

• We can’t expect this to be an overnight shift or something we can learn easily… it takes practice and devotion.
