Shamanic Freedom Radio 50: Interview with Raymond Soulard Jr of SpiritPlants Radio
November 16, 2009 03:01 PM PST
November 10, 2009 05:46 AM PST
November 03, 2009 07:30 AM PST
This talk is highly dense and detailed, and therefore difficult to summarise into shownotes, but the main topics include the schools of thought concerning ‘Darwinism’, whether it should be seen as a progressivist ladder in which all evolution leads to better species than before, or whether it is a tree, branching out in tangents. Also it traces the origin of the term ‘noble savage’, pointing out that in Europe, hunting was the sole privilege of the nobility, and that when colonial visitors from Europe saw tribal natives hunting, they perceived it as a cultural ‘nobility’. Gyrus analyses the difference between how violence vs quality of life differ between Western and tribal societies, and also describes the perspective of Darwin, Hobbes, Crawford et al, as this talk looks at the anachronistic and often misguided perceptions of Victorians on so-called ‘savages’. To check out Gyrus’s website and to buy a copy of his book ‘War and the Noble Savage’, visit www.dreamflesh.com . After the talk, Mr Lens reads emails by Lauren and Sylvain. Lauren’s email talks about Professor David Nutt, who was fired by the UK government for speaking his mind about cannabis and government policy. Music by Julian Cope ShamanicFreedomRadio 47: Interview with SFRadio fan Sharon
October 26, 2009 04:40 PM PDT
Immediately after this interview it’s over to Matthew Holbrook’s Samhain poem, celebrating the upcoming pagan celebration. Music by The Only Ones and Tenpole Tudor ShamanicFreedomRadio 46: Todd Routt on Astral Projection Part 2
October 19, 2009 11:19 AM PDT
Part 2 of the Todd Routt talk starts with Todd speaking about leading out of body experiencer Robert Monroe, who saw a boy being shot whilst in the astral realm, and helped the boy’s astral self out of the physical domain. The talk goes onto how he astrally tapped into what appeared to be a dream by his son, and an experience of non physical human chaperones accompanying him in an energy tunnel, which leads him to an entity he considered to be his higher self. The higher self concept is further elaborated on throughout, and the talk ends on Robert Monroe again, this time with him seeing ‘unified beings’ going though a portal. After the talk, Opaque reminisces about his winter camping adventures in the past, and hints at the possibility of a winter camping podcast near winter solstice. Music by the Steve Miller Band ShamanicFreedomRadio 45: Todd Routt on Astral Projection Part 1
October 12, 2009 04:03 PM PDT
Opaque then introduces a talk by today’s guest Todd Routt which is about astral projection, bringing Shamanic Freedom Radio into a new esoteric realm. The talk begins with Todd explaining about the different vibrational dimensions of existence, and how “going out of your body” actually means raising your vibration until you enter a thought-responsive dimension in which you can move about easily and instantly. He illustrates this with many of his own or other peoples experiences. He talks about the existence of “non physical humans” which he depicts as people being in denial of their own death, clinging onto this life. During the talk, Todd urges people not to take what he is saying at face value, but to do their own research. For those interested in venturing from the shamanic to the astral, visit Todd’s site at www.journeyoftruth.co.uk. As the show approaches the end, Mr Lens elaborates on Lorenzo’s theory of Human Bifurcation as it strikes a chord with him, too, that the human race may be becoming two distinct and separate subspecies. Emails welcome on this theory! Music by David Bowie and Yes. ShamanicFreedomRadio 44: Christina Oakley-Harrington at the October Gallery
October 06, 2009 01:19 AM PDT
Her talk focuses on three primary groups of the alternative perception orientated people - the pagans, the ecologists and the shamanic people, looking at their similarities and differences, and the struggles they have dealing with the ‘other’ (mainstream) lot. She talks about frolicking naked on the Sussex Downs howling at the moon(!), how she prefers coffee to herbal tea, and how she likes cities because of the amount of misfits that couldn’t live in the suburbs. Unfortunately due to the microphone used, the question and answers session had to be omitted due to the questions being off mic. To wrap up, Mr Lens plugs the relaunched Shamanic Freedom psychedelic library which has a link on this podcast’s front page. Music by Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd. ShamanicFreedomRadio 43: Interview with Phil Mainwaring
September 29, 2009 04:27 AM PDT
This week’s interview is with Phil Mainwaring, who listeners may recognise from the second half of the Solstice podcast earlier this year. Topics covered include the moon landing - whether it was a hoax or not; free energy and the oil cartel, and water powered cars; and Anna joins the discussion with Phil to talk about the science concerning the Large Hadron Collider and mini black holes. Music by The Incredible String Band. ShamanicFreedomRadio 42: Autumn Equinox Special
September 21, 2009 03:23 PM PDT
After a song break Opaque re emerges back in the studio to discuss a range of topics including Islam being a religion created by field uplink, and talks about a time when two veiled muslim girls told him that the end of the world would be a Friday, which lead him to discover that Winter Solstice 2012 is a Friday! Concidence? Opaque then mentions that he and Anna may be going to a lecture by Chris Street, which was mentioned in one of the emails he read out, and the topic would be sacred sights in London, and that the following week he would go back to the October Gallery, hopefully arming himself with interesting future podcast material. Music by Ozric Tentacles (again!) and Peter Murphy. ShamanicFreedomRadio 41: Interview with KMO of the C-Realm Podcast
September 15, 2009 05:41 AM PDT
This is followed by a long awaited interview with KMO of the C-Realm podcast, which was recorded, ironically on September 11 2009. Opaque and KMO chat briefly about 911 before the conversation goes onto other topics including the negative implications of suburban spawl, the rave era, drug ignorance in the US and UK including urine tests in offices, shamanism in the West and the Tribal countries, etc. In the aftermath Opaque announces that next week will be an Autumn Equinox Special with a poem from Matthew Holbrook. Music by Ozric Tentacles ShamanicFreedomRadio 40: Regents Park Roamcast

August 31, 2009 03:58 PM PDT
Then it’s part 2 of Neil Kramer in Avebury, presented from West Kennet Long Barrow. It starts with Anna answering Neil’s questions about physics and quantum mechanics. Opaque, naturally, sticks his tuppence worth in, and the conversation drifts towards things like sound engineering, shamans, reshamanisation and the future of shamanism. After that, Mr Lens reads an email from Sharon, and has a further debate with Anna about quantum related stuff. Music by Julian Cope and Led Zeppelin ShamanicFreedomRadio 38: Neil Kramer in Avebury Part 1
August 24, 2009 01:24 PM PDT
Opaque thanks the mystery person who passed an envelope to a woman, who then passed it to Neil Kramer, who then passed it to him, in a ‘message in a bottle’ style! During part 1 of the chat with Neil Kramer, which is conducted in front of a stone on the Avebury Avenue, many topics are discussed, starting with crop circles which are discussed in amazing depth. This leads onto global warming, and the 26,000 year cycle which means a lot of the symptoms of global warming may be cosmic radiation. Neil then points out that the stones of Avebury contain quartz and magnetite content, and that would make them like computers, or even ‘file servers’. When entheogens are covered, Neil points out that plants taken in their native habitat may resonate with the area and the taker, and if you were to take ayahuasca in Peru, or liberty caps in England that you would be getting a truer entheogenic experience. Finally, field uplink is covered by request from Opaque. After the talk, Opaque mentions, amongst other things that next week, Neil will be interviewing Anna (Mrs Lens!) about physics from inside West Kennet Longbarrow. Music by Yes. ShamanicFreedomRadio 37: Trialogue between Opaquelens, Max Freakout and Calen
August 10, 2009 02:06 PM PDT
Then it’s over to the ‘Trialogue’, recorded immediately after the Dale Pendell talk, where it starts with Opaque interviewing Max Freakout, and then mutual friend Calen joins the chat. Opaque points out that he and Max could not be enemies because if it was not for Psychonautica, Shamanic Freedom Radio would not be. Max talks about a recent ayahuasca experience in Tuscany where he had the chance to interview Christian Rätsch. Also he attended a seminar with Stanislav Grof, and after a long break from podcasting, these opportunities gave him the means to restart psychonautica again. The topics and tangents between Opaque, Max and Calen could not be summed up in shownotes without them being too long winded, but it hopefully should bring closure to any negative rumours and speculations in the aftermath of Opaque’s banning from the Grow Report forums. Music by Caravan. ShamanicFreedomRadio 36: Dale Pendell at the October Gallery part 2
August 03, 2009 03:55 PM PDT
Part 2 of the talk starts with a question and answer session, and Opaque is fortunate enough to get the first question in. Topics covered include, apocalypse and post apocalypse, whether or not anarchism can keep its meaning over time at events like Burning Man, or whether control freakery can undermine it. This leads to the concept of the ‘Temporary Autonomous Zone’ being looked at, whether it be Burning Man, Glastonbury or the rave scene in Britain in the early 1990’s, and the polarization between autonomy and authority. The subject goes onto psychedelics, with Max Freakout (who is in the audience) asking Dale about how entheogens fit into raising conciousness. The talk ends on a poem. After that Opaque reads another message from Zaka, and an email from Carlita. Music by East Forest ShamanicFreedomRadio 35: Dale Pendell at the October Gallery part 1
July 27, 2009 01:17 PM PDT
Before the talk, Opaque mentions that Max Freakout was at the talk, and this lead to a chat between Opaque, Max and mutual friend Calen in a sort of ‘Trialoguing’, which will feature on a future episode. Also, BBC documentary maker Bruce Parry was at the talk, and Opaque could not resist getting him to record a jingle. Listen out for that during the segway leading to the talk! This is followed by reading a few emails. Music by Blur. ShamanicFreedomRadio 34: Return of Aeolus as Jason Horsley Part 2
July 20, 2009 03:02 PM PDT
After that it goes to the concluding part of the chat with Jason, in which Jason kind of becomes Opaque's shrink! This part of the conversation focuses more on surrender, loss of identity, and the midlife crisis. In the aftermath of that interview, Opaque promises to bring closure on any monotonous repetitive topics that may have come up during the conversation with Jason. He then decides to do some 'positive meme seeding' by suggesting that we should set up our own religions, and plan to 'go to church', which will result in gatherings but because they're church services it can be argued that they are not raves! This is followed by an email from regular listener Coolbreeze, after which Opaque mentions that he is going to see Dale Pendell at the October Gallery, and does another swine flu update due to getting a text from a fried with the virus, who confirms from the horses mouth that it is not as bad as the media says it is. Music by The Chemical Brothers. ShamanicFreedomRadio 33: Return of Aeolus as Jason Horsley Part 1
July 13, 2009 01:46 AM PDT
When the talk with Jason commences, the first topic is cancer, as he currently has a relative who is diagnosed terminal. During this talk, Jason philosophises about what route causes of cancer could be, whether it is unsolved emotional baggage, diet or the radioactive soup we all find ourselves living in. Another theory he puts up is the possibility that certain cells in the body are becoming egotistical, and don’t care if they kill the host. Opaque then tells Jason about the recent media circus surrounding reality TV star Jade Goody’s death by cancer, pointing out what a media circus it had become. Jason points out that the human ego/identity does everything it can to hold on and even thinks ‘What’s in it for me?’ about the self dying. He stresses that we have become addicted to our identities, and maybe the way is to surrender even that. After playing the chat with Jason, Opaque reads more of Carlita’s email, before talking about a shamanic talk he went to by a person who is an orthodox Inca trained shamanic healer, and uses this a base to talk about how we as a Western culture should approach this subject - should we plagiarise another culture’s shamanism or should we find our own? Music by Pink Floyd Episode 32: Avebury Summer Solstice part 2
July 06, 2009 01:20 PM PDT
After that it’s into part two of the Solstice location recordings. This includes an impromtu song, a lady rapping about Jimmy Saville on acid, Opaque himself doing an impression of Jimmy Saville as well, another meeting with Merlin, and a man called Matthew Watkins who speaks about a mathematical flaw in Terence McKenna’s Timewave Zero. After that, Opaque talks about ideas for future podcasts. Music by The Damned Episode 31: Avebury Summer Solstice part 1 - Special guest David Icke
June 29, 2009 12:22 PM PDT
June 22, 2009 05:45 PM PDT
The talk starts with Ian R Crane talking about when he had a millionaire’s lifestyle which disillusioned him and made him question his life in the corporate world, and when he had some time off for self reflection, wondering what was happening in his life and the world, and as he was approaching 40 at the time, he elaborates on how he feels this was part of a ‘transpersonal process’ which is known negatively as the midlife crisis. The subject matter goes on a tangent via the oil industry and the use of fluoride, and Carl Jung, 911, and Ian’s personal library of books he’s accumulated post ‘midlife opportunity’, which remains the main topic. Other topics include Terence McKenna’s Timewave Zero and 2012, looking at the clock at 11:11, and the fact that winter solstice 2012 will be at 11:11 GMT. After a break and a musical interlude, the conversation goes onto the subject of David Icke and how Ian Crane read three of his books back to back within a few days. The subject of psychedelics comes up and Ian says that in his opinion, these plants should be temporary in their lives. Opaque signs off by pointing that he would like to be a guest on other people’s podcasts if the opportunity arrives. Music by Ozric Tentacles and Syd Barrett’s Pink Floyd. ShamanicFreedomRadio 29: Interview with Ian R Crane Part 1
June 15, 2009 02:11 PM PDT
The interview with Ian R Crane starts with Ian giving his approximately 1500 year time window for when he thinks the ‘Dark Ages’ were upon us starting from the battle of Constantine against Maxentius in 312 AD and the destruction of the Library of Alexandria in 415 AD right up to Jean-François Champollion birth in 1797, who was the first person to decypher ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, setting the ball rolling for other ancient knowledge to return to us. Other subjects covered are philosophers such as Gurdjieff and his contemporaries whose philosophy may have been enhanced by mescaline in an era when there was no ubiquitous pop culture machine to taint people’s minds. These are not the only subjects covered and Opaque feels that it would be a bit ‘spoilery’ not to leave a bit of mystery here! In the aftermath, Opaque reads an email from Jesse Miller from the Mystic Mind podcast and recommends listening to the Diet Soap podcast too. Music by Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, Op. 125, "Choral": II. Molto vivace Performed by the Berliner Philarmonicker Conducted by Herbert Von Karajan ShamanicFreedomRadio 28: Graham Hancock Lecture part 2
June 08, 2009 01:55 PM PDT
Part 2 of Graham Hancock’s lecture begins with fairy abduction as a psychedelic shamanic phenomenon, and how fairies and elves are similar/parallel to aliens. The subject of therianthropes (animal/human hybrids) are further looked upon as well, as Graham talks about how in the 50’s and 60’s before the ‘war on drugs’, extensive research was conducted into fairies and elves amongst other things during medical experiments using injected and smoked DMT, by many people including Rick Strassman, author of the book “DMT The Spirit Molecule”. Graham mentions that we are all illegal in this room because we all contain DMT produced by the pineal gland, which evolutionary evidence shows was a sense organ in older and more primitive animals, and that as it contains a lens and a cornea, that it may be possible that it still is a sense organ, and DMT is what activates the sense, which could mean that psychedelics just simply retune our perception to allow in freestanding parallel realities to come in. After a while there’s a question and answer session, which goes into the direction Jeremy Narby’s ‘DNA recording’, and of growing Banisteriopsis Caapi sustainably, amongst other subjects. After the talk, Opaque compares the reality of a psychonaut as being floating around in the ‘madness’ zone wearing ‘anti madness space suits’! Music by Hawkwind. ShamanicFreedomRadio 27: Graham Hancock Lecture part 1
June 02, 2009 01:41 AM PDT
After the talk, Opaque talks about how psychedelics have become between him and a friend of many years. That the week before this podcast was a week of bad experiences and fallings out for him, and that one of those experiences was falling out with a friend who, instead of seeing Opaque as a shamanic psychedelic user, sees him as a ‘mentally ill person with a drug problem’. Opaque urges listeners to send emails if they have had this kind of disagreement with any friends in the past, so that he doesn’t have to feel alone in this. Music by Ozric Tentacles ShamanicFreedomRadio 26: Interview with Matthew Holbrook
May 25, 2009 04:07 PM PDT
During the interview, Matthew discusses his strict Anglican Christian upbringing, and how he converted to Paganism, feeling that this was based less on myth and speculation, and more on one’s observance of the sun and the moon, and also points out that in this modern age with problems such as climate change, Paganism helps people to focus on the Earth by giving people a sense of being on a living planet. The conversation the goes onto how Christian festivals were superimposed onto pagan festivals. Opaque’s tuppence worth to this is how he has fused paganism with his psychedelic practices and his Indian influences from previous travels. To visit Matthew’s site click here. As he wraps up the show, Opaque mentions that he will go to the October Gallery to record Graham Hancock doing a lecture. Music by Julian Cope. ShamanicFreedomRadio 25: Interview with Robin Williamson
May 18, 2009 03:36 PM PDT
May 11, 2009 01:56 PM PDT
May 04, 2009 01:16 PM PDT
Before the interview with Glen, Opaque shares his internet research concerning the latest flu pandemic/biological weapon/hoax/whatever by informing everyone about preventative ingredients such as colloidal silver, black elderberry extract and echinacea. During the interview, Glen describes his first mushroom trip, which was quite mild and didn’t take him as far as it could have done, but Glen hints that he probably will have a psychedelic future. Due to the limited scope of a mild first trip, the conversation takes off on other tangents concerning many other psychedelic and non psychedelic related matters. As the show closes Opaque reads an email from Akashic Badger, who also has only had one previous psychedelic experience. Music by Mike Oldfield. ShamanicFreedomRadio 22: Interview with Ross Hemsworth Part 2
April 27, 2009 01:12 PM PDT
Following on from last week, Ross Hemsworth from Glastonbury Radio (www.glastonburyradio.net) speaks about how Glastonbury can empower and change a person, the subjects go on to banks, the current financial crisis, 911, 7/7, other conspiracies, 2012, and and many more topics. One of the most significant subjects spoken about is Gary McKinnon, the autistic British man who hacked into the Pentagon, and as a result, is fighting against extradition to America. During the gap between the interview, Opaque reads out emails from C-Lion, Raymond from SpiritPlants Radio, and ‘Gobbledegook’ (interesting name!). He also announces that he will be going to Glastonbury Tor in a few days to record the Beltane Special. Music by Japan and Dave Gilmour. ShamanicFreedomRadio 21: Interview with Ross Hemsworth part 1
