• Philosophers Are Mystics, Unraveling Western Esoterica | Michael Phillip

  Michael Phillip is talking to people. Hundreds of fascinating philosophers, academics, psychologists, scientists, and crazy mystics on his show Third Eye Drops. He is helping to untangle esoterica in the Western world. And one of the most important discoveries he's made on his incredibly popular podcast, Third Eye Drops, is that Philosophers are actually mystics. Plato, for example, has been framed by history as a man who understood reason, and the world, in a secular, grounded way. This is true in some aspects, but if we haven't read the Timmaeus, we're not fully appreciating how mystical and how esoteric Plato truly was... there's a reason that Cave metaphor inspired by the Matrix. Michael and I talk about how he got into this world of podcasting and esoterica, how his friend Don Hoffman PhD sees the world, as well as touching on our historical faves from Plotinus to Jesus to Jung.

• Escaping Mormonism, Navigating New Age | Stephanie Brinkerhoff

  Stephanie Brinkerhoff is an ex-Mormon on mushrooms. Not all the time, really just one important time… she took 1 gram of psilocybin and saw through the illusion of the Church of Latter Day Saints. She left the Mormon church and changed many things in her life… Stephanie is hilarious. Authentic. Humble. And continually seeking on the path… after Mormonism, carved through New Age and got some battle scars from “our people” too. She is a certified Jungian Life Coach and helps people navigating the difficulty of leaving faith traditions. I went on her podcast Mormons on Mushrooms last year and this year I had to have her on mine to share her story. It is riveting and she is wonderful. Enjoy!

• Weaving Through The Ten Thousand Things | Dylan Townsend

  Dylan Townsend is calling it out. The world of spiritual satire seems to be growing everyday. My feeds are fed by jokes about the world of spirituality and new age, and look, I'm all for a good laugh. But if you're gonna come for spiritualgram you better have come out of the jungle baby. You better be able to connect Padmasambhava's teachings to Carl Jung's psychoanalysis. You better read the stars like a fortune cookie. And Dylan Townsend is just that. He left his home in Ireland for India to learn Yoga at 19 years old. He went to Venezuela to get to know plant medicine at 20. He's been ALL over this planet to learn and study under different spiritual traditions. And it is all culminating in his work in writing and film production on multiple new series headed for streamers soon. We cover a lot of ground! The interview starts with me contextualizing my book for a hot second... thank you, enjoy!

• Perfect Peace Unfolding In Every Moment | Sameh Neseim

  Sameh Neseim is a certified mystic. He is certified, but that's not what I mean. His every step is a pilgrimage. His every breath is a meditation. I am continually blown away and inspired by my friend Sameh, an Egyptian-American who I met at Meta (then Facebook) back in 2019. Sameh is a Spiritual and Mindfulness teacher, Self-Mastery Coach and Unity Prayer Chaplain. We met through being two global co-leads of Mindfulness@ Meta, our humble club of meditators within one of the largest conglomerates in the world. We were (and still are) the mystics in the machine. Sameh has since left FB and moved on to helping individuals and leaders out here in the wild. In this episode, we cover: - Corporate burnout leading to deliberate choice to change - The connection between creativity and intuition - Practical application of "my holiness envelops everything I see"... seeing the One in all including our workplace - Intention of collaboration and sitting in the holiness of the present moment... detaching from proving anything, from the past and future - Corporate as a beautiful environment to practice spirituality by dropping the need to be seen as right or important - "You Are Enough" - Going to our meditation practice with the intention to either be still and receive peace, or to receive specific inspiration for a project -- being specific! A morning meditation to get grounded for the day, an afternoon meditation on a creative project, and a nighttime meditation for rejuvenation and peace - A Course in Miracles as a profound practical document for spiritual awakening, that the ego does not want you to read! - When you want nothing of this world, you acknowledge your commitment to your own happiness - Rumi helps us with pain and understanding the full experience of love and suffering Subscribe to Karmic Relief Podcast on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@iambobpeck Connect with Sameh at: https://instagram.com/samehneseim https://samehneseim.substack.com/podcast Instagram https://www.instagram.com/karmicreliefpod Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/7es7cjNdcSel032NLXr4wK?si=cf96e7379ab14052 Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/karmic-relief/id1515029592 More about Bob Peck https://www.linktr.ee/bobpeck Theme Music Scott Standley - "You Got It" https://www.scottstandley.com Design by Paige Hasaballah & Bob Peck https://deltavenus.art

• Witnessing Jehovah and His Illusion | Mikayla Humphrey

  Mikayla Humphrey has questions. She was raised as a Jehovah's Witness, and knocked on thousands upon thousands of doors. At 17 she could no longer endure its cultish control over her life. Sadly Mikayla has not spoken to her immediate family since leaving the church nearly a decade ago... it's an official JW doctrine to "shun". She is a phoenix arising from the ashes. As a fervent reader of a variety of spiritual philosophies, Mikayla enjoyed my book, "Original Sin Is A Lie" and we have continued to have several theological chats about the nature of it all. We decided to record a Q&A style convo as a unique episode of Karmic Relief Podcast. We cover: - The illusory nature of this world - Nondual cosmology hypotheses - "World denialism" vs. "world antagonism" - Door-knocking stories from her Jehovah's Witness childhood - How the ego loves "special-ness" - The JW doctrine that _you will never die_ + overcoming a new awareness of impending physical death - Our mutual adoration of Mollie Adler and her podcast "Back from the Borderline" - Debunking Biblical infallibility as an essential first step in the open-minded spiritual path Subscribe to Karmic Relief Podcast on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@iambobpeck Instagram https://www.instagram.com/karmicreliefpod Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/7es7cjNdcSel032NLXr4wK?si=cf96e7379ab14052 More about Bob Peck https://www.linktr.ee/bobpeck Theme Music Scott Standley - "You Got It" https://www.scottstandley.com Design by Paige Hasaballah & Bob Peck https://deltavenus.art
