In podcast episode 89, we’re joined by author and podcaster Douglas Lain for an insightful and honest discussion about a wide-range of subjects from synchromysticism to overturning the symbolic order.
We begin this unique interview by discussing the concept of synchromysticism and our interpretations of its meaning. This served as a launching point for two veteran podcasters to explore each others and our own minds, with a strong focus on inner vs. outer work and the value of each.
Douglas also talks about his upcoming writing project, “Pick Your Battle” – what it’s about, why it’s important, and his effort to obtain funding for it through Kickstarter.org. His ideas and unconventional thinking are refreshing and thought-provoking. Although not specifically about esoteric subjects, this conversation was a pleasure and a real gem.
Fascinating talk – Two very different mindsets funnily with two somewhat similar view points , most fruitful – for me at least.
I would like to say while its fresh in my mind that the concept of ”you cannot see the real” while (for me) this point is kind of broad and generally true, I couldn’t help the notion building that this metaphor when applied too crudely could be a massive weight on the shoulders.
When seen through this filter I guess my sensation of it is that if we cannot see or mentally perceive ‘the real.’ Can we in anyway interface and interact with it? My being tells me that there is reality, and although my complexes veil this from me (it) is in constant communion with all that it is.
The concept however did not leave me cold, indeed it allowed me to engage and meet with ‘the other,’ materialized and personified as Doug Lain, and so for that I am thankful.
