Ep 282 - Mark Gober | Ibogaine: A Brutal and Evolutionary Experience

In this episode we sit down with Kenneth Soares, hypnotherapist, NLP trainer, and advanced EFT practitioner whose guided meditations and affirmations have reached over 100 million plays worldwide. Kenneth shares deep insights into how the subconscious mind shapes our beliefs, behaviors, and identity, and why real transformation requires the courage to face reality rather than avoid it. We explore the pitfalls of spiritual bypassing, the dangers of getting lost in endless “rabbit holes,” and how discernment, self-responsibility, and inner work form the foundation of authentic growth. Kenneth also shares powerful perspectives on parenting in the modern world and how to consciously support the psychological development of our children in an age of constant conditioning.Time Stamps(00:00) Teaser(00:27) Opening Conversation(10:36) Meet Kenneth Soares(12:35) Childhood Criticism and Freedom(14:10) Breakup and Finding Self(17:00) Dissatisfaction and Hypnotherapy Leap(18:41) Fatherhood Promise and First Course(26:07) Subconscious Mind Explained(30:29) Rabbit Holes and Family Balance(43:27) Doom Loop and Perception Filters(48:16) New Age Spirituality Critique(52:11) Intuition vs Avoidance / Self Esteem Needs Reality(01:01:39) Parenting the Subconscious(01:25:11) High Standards High Support(01:30:12) Healthy Conflict Repair(01:39:51) EFT and Self Tools(01:46:19) Master Your Emotions(01:52:53) Hypnotherapy Past Life StoryGuest Linkhttps://kennethsoares.earth/ https://www.instagram.com/kennethsoares.livingfully/ https://www.youtube.com/KennethSoaresUniverse Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

In a world engineered to hijack your attention, erode your trust, and sedate your spirit, how do you stay whole? In this profound and wide-ranging conversation, Mark Jones returns to explore what it truly means to survive the modern age without losing your essence. We dive into the fragmentation of the psyche, the war on attention, the collapse of shared meaning, and the quiet crisis of soul disconnection—while pointing toward something deeper and more enduring: an inner light that cannot be commodified or corrupted. From Gurdjieff and Jung to death, purpose, creativity, and the sacred architecture of the self, this episode is a call to reclaim your depth, face mortality with courage, and live as if your life is a once-in-eternity song. If you’ve felt the anxiety of this cultural moment but also the stirring of something greater within you, this conversation will remind you what’s at stake—and what’s possible.Time Stamps (00:00) Teaser (00:36) Opening Conversation (04:57) Meet Mark Jones (12:28) How To Survive The Modern World (29:23) Meaning, Purpose and Suffering (35:21) Parts of Self, Astrology, Inner Light and Prisms (43:18) Mansion Rooms Metaphor (51:39) Creative Intensity and Jung (54:18) Finding Your Unique Song (57:16) Memento Mori and Amor Fati (01:13:57) Acting Training as Self-Work (01:18:38) Constructive Discontent And Path Dependence (01:26:43) Protagonist And Empathy (01:40:48) Enshittification (01:46:16) OutroGuest Linkhttps://markjonesastrology.com/ Connect with UsBook a free RATH Academy Connection Call with Joel & YerasimosJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

What if the life you secretly want isn’t a fantasy — but something real trying to emerge through you? In this episode, Joel and Yerasimos unpack the power of vision, will, and imagination — and the uncomfortable truth that many people drift through life while quietly ignoring the deeper pull toward something greater. Through personal stories of risk, rejection, doubt, and radical course-corrections, they explore what it actually takes to honor your authentic path — even when it looks irrational to others. This conversation dives into self-knowledge, perseverance, and the discipline required to turn desire into tangible reality. If you’ve felt the tension between the life you’re living and the life you know you’re capable of creating, this is your invitation to stop numbing it — and start moving toward it.Book a 20 minute free call with us for RATH AcademyJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

For over a decade, Jordan Sather has stood at the front lines of the digital information war — building one of the earliest independent platforms decoding Q in real time, getting banned from nearly every major platform during the censorship purge, and continuing to investigate the deeper layers of power, influence, and corruption behind stories like Epstein, intelligence blackmail networks, Pizzagate and the battle between mainstream and alternative media. In this wide-ranging and grounded conversation, Jordan walks us through his personal awakening, the rise (and infiltration) of the Q movement, the truth and distortion surrounding the Epstein files, and the psychological traps that can derail even the most sincere truth-seekers. You will not find blind allegiance or doom-fueled paranoia here — it’s a sober exploration of psyops, influence operations, and the responsibility that comes with knowing. If you care about discernment in a chaotic age, this episode is essential listening.Time Stamps (00:00) Episode Teaser (00:34) Opening Conversation (04:37) Understanding Ibogaine and Its Effects (06:25) The Healing Power of Ibogaine (25:24) The Definition of Self-Love That Was Revealed (33:35) Intergenerational Healing (40:51) Reverence vs. Worship: Understanding the Difference (42:43) Yerasimos’ Ayahuasca Experience (46:27) The Role of the Medicine in Personal Development (52:54) The Supplemental Dose: Processing Emotions and Ancestral Trauma (01:00:30) Integration and the Challenges of Returning to Normal Life (01:03:09) The Relationship Between Self-Betrayal and Self-Love (01:15:20) The Importance of Intent and Reverence in Medicine Work (01:22:28) Surrender and Trust: Lessons from the Divine Realm (01:27:25) Setting Intentions and Personal Reflections (01:30:09) The Impact of Social Media and Technology (01:40:37) Voluntarism and Political Philosophy (01:43:49) Personal Growth and SpiritualityGuest Linkshttps://www.jordansather.com/ Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

Raised inside the Church of Immortal Consciousness and taken from his mother under the banner of “spiritual purpose,” Danny Rensch grew up in a world where channeling spirits and chasing chess mastery were intertwined. In this gripping conversation, the International Master and co-founder of Chess.com opens up about being groomed for greatness by a chess-obsessed cult leader, the trauma of spiritual manipulation, the collapse of the collective that shaped him, and the long road toward forgiveness and integration. Danny shares how chess became both his escape and his evolution — an unsolvable, unforgiving game that mirrors life itself — and how he helped lead the digital revolution that brought the royal game to over 200 million players worldwide. This is a raw, nuanced exploration of consciousness, power, resilience, and what it really means to reclaim your own narrative.Time Stamps (00:00) Episode Teaser (00:34) Opening Conversation (04:37) Understanding Ibogaine and Its Effects (06:25) The Healing Power of Ibogaine (25:24) The Definition of Self-Love That Was Revealed (33:35) Intergenerational Healing (40:51) Reverence vs. Worship: Understanding the Difference (42:43) Yerasimos’ Ayahuasca Experience (46:27) The Role of the Medicine in Personal Development (52:54) The Supplemental Dose: Processing Emotions and Ancestral Trauma (01:00:30) Integration and the Challenges of Returning to Normal Life (01:03:09) The Relationship Between Self-Betrayal and Self-Love (01:15:20) The Importance of Intent and Reverence in Medicine Work (01:22:28) Surrender and Trust: Lessons from the Divine Realm (01:27:25) Setting Intentions and Personal Reflections (01:30:09) The Impact of Social Media and Technology (01:40:37) Voluntarism and Political Philosophy (01:43:49) Personal Growth and SpiritualityGuest Linkshttps://www.chess.com/ Danny’s incredible memoir “Dark Squares: How Chess Saved My Life”Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

In this return conversation, Mark Gober opens up about one of the most intense and transformative experiences of his life: a guided ibogaine journey that forced him into direct confrontation with the roots of identity, self-judgment, and inherited fear. What unfolds is not psychedelic glamour or mystical escapism, but a brutal, compassionate reckoning with the architecture of the psyche — from parts work and suppressed rage to ancestral trauma and the meaning of real self-love. Mark describes communing with an intelligence that seemed to know him better than he knew himself, dismantling old narratives while demanding embodiment, responsibility, and integration. This is a raw exploration of what happens when insight becomes unavoidable, when healing moves through the body, and when love arrives in the form of truth.Time Stamps (00:00) Episode Teaser (00:34) Opening Conversation (04:37) Understanding Ibogaine and Its Effects (06:25) The Healing Power of Ibogaine (25:24) The Definition of Self-Love That Was Revealed (33:35) Intergenerational Healing (40:51) Reverence vs. Worship: Understanding the Difference (42:43) Yerasimos’ Ayahuasca Experience (46:27) The Role of the Medicine in Personal Development (52:54) The Supplemental Dose: Processing Emotions and Ancestral Trauma (01:00:30) Integration and the Challenges of Returning to Normal Life (01:03:09) The Relationship Between Self-Betrayal and Self-Love (01:15:20) The Importance of Intent and Reverence in Medicine Work (01:22:28) Surrender and Trust: Lessons from the Divine Realm (01:27:25) Setting Intentions and Personal Reflections (01:30:09) The Impact of Social Media and Technology (01:40:37) Voluntarism and Political Philosophy (01:43:49) Personal Growth and SpiritualityGuest Linkshttps://www.markgober.com/ Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

In this episode, we’re joined by Andrew Genovese, dimensional breathwork guide, inner child + shadow work teacher, and a fierce advocate for inner sovereignty and soul reclamation — for a grounded, no-BS conversation about what spirituality actually is (and what it definitely isn’t). Andrew shares his personal hero’s journey…from years of nomadic travel and existential dread, to a full-blown awakening catalyzed by loss, collapse, and deep surrender. He walks us through the real mechanics of transformation: nervous system capacity, embodiment, and the willingness to face your own darkness instead of hiding behind slogans. We go straight at the modern “spiritual scene” — the robes, the persona, the Love & Light bypassing and why real awakening doesn’t look like anything…except becoming radically, unapologetically yourself. If you’ve ever felt allergic to the performance of spirituality and hungry for something with substance, this episode is your compass.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser(00:37) Opening Conversation(01:13) Exclusive Membership Announcements(03:34) Andrew Genovese’s Hero's Journey(09:10) His Defining Psychedelic Experience(15:21) Reflecting on Childhood and Family Dynamics(28:47) What Is Spiritual Awakening Really?(38:18) The Illusion of Perfection(45:36) Living with an Open Heart & Navigating Life's Challenges(01:00:19) The Role of Nervous System in Personal Growth(01:06:30) True Leadership and Authenticity(01:11:05) Understanding Personality and Birth Cards(01:13:33) The Concept of Downloading Codes(01:15:55) Questioning Spiritual Language and Authenticity(01:25:56) Dimensional Breath Work and Personal Growth(01:36:44) The Hero's Journey and Self-EsteemGuest Linkshttps://www.andrewgenovesehealing.com/ https://www.instagram.com/breathehealevolve/ Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

In this Joel + Yerasimos (4-time Backgammon Champion & Alex Honnold expert) duo episode, we go deep into one of the most important questions a human being can ask themselves: what’s the tower I’m here to climb, and why am I avoiding it? From the psychology of fear and the trap of “comfort living,” to the brutal honesty required to build real self-esteem, we explore why most people unknowingly choose a half-lived life…and call it normal. We talk discipline, constraint, mastery, and the unseen cost of never committing fully, because endless options aren’t freedom. Devotion is. If you’ve felt that quiet inner frustration—that sense that you’re meant for more but you’re holding back—this conversation is a wake-up call: choose your tower…and climb it.https://www.confluenceevent.com HFTT10 Discount Code - 10% offConnect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

In this episode, we’re joined by Lucy Biggers, former climate activist and current Head of Social Media at The Free Press, for a rare inside look at how modern activism becomes psychologically binding—and how difficult it is to leave once your identity, career, and sense of belonging are tied to it. Lucy shares her personal journey from producing viral climate content and amplifying activist narratives to questioning the fear-based assumptions beneath them, unpacking the role of groupthink, moral signaling, nervous system regulation, and social punishment in shaping belief. This is a psychological inquiry into how good intentions can harden into ideology—and what it actually takes to reclaim independent thought, inner authority, and the courage to speak against the crowd.(00:00) Teaser(00:34) Opening Conversation(00:55) Introducing Lucy Biggers(05:57) Lucy's Journey in Climate Activism(09:43) Leaving the Climate Movement(12:15) Rebuilding and Speaking Out(18:42) The Role of Mentors and Personal Growth(35:41) Family Dynamics and Political Differences(36:16) Climate Change Narratives and Skepticism(39:11) Debating Climate Change and Energy Policies(45:16) Critique of Green Energy Solutions(52:12) The Role of Media and Public Perception(01:08:01) Questioning the Basis of Fossil Fuels(01:24:22) AI and WritingGuest Linkshttps://www.instagram.com/lucybiggers/ https://x.com/LLBiggers https://www.tiktok.com/@lucybiggers https://www.thefp.com/ Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

This episode is a deep, grounded exploration of self-governance, natural law, and personal responsibility with Michael Joseph, founding director of Sacred Honor Educational Fellowship and a longtime educator on the invisible contracts shaping modern life. Drawing from decades of study and lived experience, Michael breaks down the distinction between lawful authority and corporate control, how consent quietly operates beneath the surface of everyday systems, and why true freedom cannot be reclaimed through anger, rebellion, or ideology—but only through awareness, integrity, and inner coherence. Rather than promoting shortcuts or performative “sovereignty,” this conversation emphasizes emotional maturity, discernment, and self-responsibility as the real foundations of power. If you’ve ever sensed that something about the way society operates feels off—but also felt overwhelmed, confused, or turned off by the noise surrounding these topics—this episode offers a clear, calm, and principled lens for understanding what self-governance actually means, and why the path forward begins within.Time Stamps(00:00) Teaser(00:40) Opening Conversation(04:43) Introducing Michael(05:40) Michael Joseph's Personal Journey(06:38) The System and Self-Governance(14:10) Historical Context and the Republic(24:33) Thoughts on The Founding of America(31:49) Why The West Hates Itself(42:28) The Power of Self-ponsibility and Discernment(53:01) The Power of Creation and Thought(01:00:18) Mission of Sacred Honor Educational Fellowship(01:02:04) Changing Political Status and Its Benefits(01:11:31) Building Wealth in the Private Ledger(01:18:22) Understanding Land PatentsGuest Linkshttps://www.sacredhonoref.com/ Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links
