In today’s episode, we drop into the still, pulsing void of Transcendental Meditation. That’s right—mantras, Maharishi, and the vibrational highways of the inner cosmos. But in true AAO fashion, we can’t just Om and go home. We veer off the meditation cushion to share a few ghost stories, then take a soft right turn into Jokesville, USA. And heads up—this is part one of a two-part journey into TM. In this episode, we introduce the practice and explore what drew each of us to it. Part two will document the results after a full month of daily practice. Will we transcend—or just trend-scend?

Today’s episode, we dive headfirst into the lesser-known concept of Loosh. That’s right—energy farming, emotional harvesting, inter-dimensional snack food… whatever you want to call it, we’re going there. From Robert Monroe’s wild astral adventures to the increasingly popular theory that Earth is one big cosmic Loosh buffet, we explore the idea that maybe—just maybe—your existential dread is someone else’s amuse-bouche... or as we like to call it, amuse-loosh. And of course, in classic AAO fashion, we spiral into adjacent rabbit holes: Archons, The Matrix, manifestation, initiatory dreams, and all sorts of other tasty tangents to keep the Loosh flowing strong enough to reach even the most distant inter-dimensional interlocutor.

Today’s episode we take a collective walk down memory lane to discuss all things “Mall”. From Dawn of the Dead to orange Julius, from Nate’s job at a mall arcade to today’s obsession with backrooms and liminal spaces, we leave no fake plastic stone unturned. Also in typical AAO form we spend a decent amount of time randomly talking about manifestation, black holes, Tom Campbell, Simulation Theory, Chat GPT learning to remote view, and more!Find us at: www.aaopodcast.com
