Touching Base

In this solo episode, that I didn't even re-listen to or edit, I am reaching out to touch base after a 4 month hiatus.  I talk about using life as a teacher, as opposed to books or media, then turn around and talk about books and media that I've taken in recently.  I've been finding wonderful illustrations of spiritual concepts in everything from the literary works of Octavia Butler, to the short lived TV show "My Name is Earl."

In this solo episode I am breaking down and critiquing one of the most famous occult books of the 20th century, The Kybalion.  The Kybalion claims to contain the 7 principles that govern our universe directly passed down from Hermes Thoth Trismegistus in the earliest days of Egypt, but does this claim hold up?  I explore the likely origins of this classic book and dive deep into its main concepts, now known as the 7 hermetic principles.  I was expecting this to be more analysis than critique initially, but it seems to have turned the other way.  Listen close to these critiques so that your hate mail can be as accurate as possible.   To listen to an audio book of the Kybalion for free go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL43l2SFVWQ To contact me about the show you can reach out to me on Twitter and Instagram at: @monolithseeker Send Emails to [email protected]

More Near Death Experiences! Can you believe it? In this solo episode I give a brief overview of the contributions of Michale Sabom, Melvin Morse, Michael Grosso, Kennith Ring, and P.M.H. Atwater, to the field of Near Death Experience research.  Then we dive a bit deeper into Dr. Atwater's research into the 4 types of NDE and discuss the implications of some of the more extreme experiences.  For this episode I used the following books as reference.  "The Light Beyond" by: Raymond Moody "Reflections on Death" by: Michael Sabom "The Application of Impossible Things" by: Natalie Sudman "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Near Death Experiences" by: P.M.H.

In this episode I lay the groundwork for discussing the concept of life continuing on after the body dies by examining the research done by Dr. Raymond Moody on what are commonly referred to as near death experiences.  This episode does not specifically talk about reincarnation however, it focusses in on the evidence gathered and research done by Dr. Moody on whether some part of us could survive bodily death which is a vital component in the research on reincarnation.  With this framework laid out we will be able to continue this conversation in the next solo episode on how this research, and the research of many others, provides evidence for reincarnation.   For this episode I used the following books by Dr. Raymond Moody for reference:  "Life After Life," "Reflections on Life After Life," "Beyond The Light," and "Glimpses of Eternity" To contact me about the show you can reach out to me on Twitter and Instagram at: @monolithseeker  Send Emails to [email protected]

In this solo episode I dive into one of my favorite and most reality shattering topics Ive come in contact with, reincarnation. I discuss the books I've been reading on the topic and the ideas they plant into my mind about consciousness and its relationship to the physical body.  This episode focusses on the research done on the phenomenon of children remembering past lives. There will be further episodes on other areas of research coming at you in the future.   Books discussed in this episode:  Reincarnation: A New Horizon in Science, Religion, and Society, By:  Sylvia Cranston and Carey Williams Children Who Remember Previous Lives, By:  Ian Stevenson M.D. Return To Life, By:  Jim Tucker M.D.  To contact me about the show you can reach out to me on Twitter and Instagram at: @monolithseeker Send Emails to [email protected]
