Midnight, On Earth
Episode 268 - Sak Yant & Thai Ritual Magic w/ Sheer Zed
In this episode, I talk with writer, Buddhist shaman, musician, and artist Sheer Zed to explore the remarkable journey behind his new book -Thai Tattoo Magick: The Initiatory Practices of the Thai Buddhist Magicians. Traveling from his home in Bristol to the sacred landscapes of Thailand, Sheer undertook four profound, life-changing, pilgrimages into the living world of Thai magic and Buddhist sorcery. These journeys unlocked a world that was unknown but familiar for Sheer.
We dive deep into his powerful initiations with the Ajarns - Thai Buddhist magicians who serve as spiritual artists and shamans. Through their guidance he received hand-tapped Sak Yant tattoos, created in magical inks and ritually imbued with protective and transformative energies. Sheer also warns of the pitfalls facing seekers drawn to these sacred markings. Some travelers, unaware of the depth and discipline required, receive Sak Yant tattoos from unqualified or even fraudulent “Ajarns,” trivializing the tradition and inviting negative spiritual consequences. He shares guidance on how to discern authentic teachers, approach the practice with humility, and properly prepare oneself -physically, mentally, and spiritually-so the tattoos become true containers of energy rather than empty decoration.
Beyond the tattoos and rituals, Sheer and I also explore wider spiritual terrain - from the nature of transformation to the signs of a dawning new era for humanity. Together we reflect on how these ancient practices and the wisdom of the Ajarns point toward the emerging consciousness of a world that is rapidly evolving.
This is a journey of profound inner change: ending destructive patterns, deep soul healing, and the awakening that comes when art, spirit, and love converge. Join us as we discuss Thai Tattoo Magic and the wisdom of the Ajarns who keep this ancient lineage alive!

322. Episode 322- Hermeticism & Hermes Trismegistus w/ Terence McKenna - Legacy Recording
01:42:02||Ep. 322In this episode we welcome back the legendary Terence McKenna in lecture form, for a fascinating exploration into the ancient mysteries of Hermes Trismegistus, the origins of Hermetic philosophy, the secret traditions of alchemy, and humanity's extraordinary relationship with the divine.Through two archival lectures, McKenna takes us deep into the esoteric foundations of Western civilization, revealing how ancient Egyptian and Greek mystical traditions helped shape the Renaissance, the development of Western magic, and our evolving understanding of consciousness and the universe.At the center of this exploration is a radical Hermetic proposition: human beings are not fallen, powerless creatures separated from divinity, but divine beings with the ability to participate directly in the creative unfolding of reality.McKenna examines the mysterious figure of Hermes Trismegistus, the legendary fusion of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth, whose teachings became the foundation of the Corpus Hermeticum. These ancient philosophical writings describe a living, conscious cosmos in which humanity occupies an extraordinary position, possessing the potential to transcend fate, communicate with higher intelligences, and participate in the divine work of creation.We explore the profound differences between Hermeticism, Gnosticism, and traditional Christian theology, particularly their competing understandings of human nature, original sin, spiritual liberation, and our place within the cosmic order.McKenna also traces the remarkable journey of Hermetic knowledge through the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance, discussing the influence of figures such as Marsilio Ficino, the Medici family, and the great alchemical thinkers who attempted to unite spiritual transformation with the physical mysteries of nature.After the lecture we reconvene to unpack the most powerful themes, reflecting on the divine spark within humanity, the relationship between magic and consciousness, spiritual sovereignty, and our ability to consciously co-create reality.Join us for an extraordinary journey through ancient wisdom, lost mystical traditions, alchemy, magic, and the infinite potential of the human spirit!Terence McKenna Bio:Terence McKenna was an American ethnobotanist, philosopher, author, lecturer, and one of the most influential voices of the modern psychedelic movement.

321. Episode 321 - Sound, Healing & the Frequencies of Ascension w/ Jonathan Goldman
01:30:24||Ep. 321In this episode, I talk with legendary sound healing pioneer Jonathan Goldman for a fascinating exploration into the hidden power of vibration, consciousness, intention, and the human voice.Jonathan has spent more than five decades exploring the transformational possibilities of sound, becoming one of the foundational figures in the modern sound healing movement. Our conversation centers around his newly expanded book, Ascension Harmonics: Invoke the Divine Name for Vibrational Activation and Healing.Jonathan takes us back to the experience that changed the course of his life - a moment while playing in a rock band when he suddenly became aware of the energetic effect music was having on the room around him. That realization eventually transformed into a much larger question: What if sound could be used to heal?From there, we explore Jonathan's Four Pillars of Sound Healing - the understanding that everything is vibration, that intention is powerful, that each of us is a unique vibratory being, and that silence itself is an essential part of the healing process.We also dive deeply into psychoacoustics and vibroacoustics, resonance, harmonics, altered states of consciousness, the energetic power of the voice, and Jonathan's famous principle that frequency + intent = healing.The conversation then moves into even deeper territory as Jonathan recounts mystical experiences, encounters with blue beings, intuitive transmissions, and the extraordinary circumstances that led him to explore the ancient Divine Name as a sequence of sacred vowel sounds. We examine the idea that vocalizing these sounds may function as an ancient spiritual technology - one designed to shift consciousness, activate the energetic body, and reconnect the individual with the divine.Jonathan also shares the origins of World Sound Healing Day, the importance of collective toning and heart-centered intention, and his belief that humanity can consciously participate in a larger co-creative field of healing.At the heart of this conversation is a deceptively simple idea: our own voice may be one of the most powerful transformational instruments we possess.An expansive conversation about vibration, divinity, ancient knowledge, consciousness, and the extraordinary universe of sound.

She introduced the concept of the Three Waves of Volunteers, suggesting that advanced souls had incarnated on Earth to assist in a planetary shift toward higher consciousness. Her teachings emphasized the idea that Earth was undergoing an energetic transformation and that humanity was being guided by benevolent cosmic forces.A sought-after speaker, Cannon lectured internationally, training thousands of practitioners in QHHT and inspiring a global movement of seekers interested in metaphysics, self-healing, and spiritual awakening.

318. Episode 318 - The Thiaoouba Prophecy: Extraterrestrials, Christ & the Journey of the Soul w/ Samuel Chong
01:19:33||Ep. 318In this episode, I sit down with Samuel Chong to explore the extraordinary story behind Thiaoouba Prophecy: A True Story of Travel Through Time and Space to the Golden Planet, originally written by Michel Desmarquet.In 1987, Michel claimed he was physically taken from Earth for nine days by an advanced extraterrestrial civilization known as the Thiaooubans, who revealed an alternative history of humanity, the nature of the soul, reincarnation, ancient civilizations, the pyramids, and our spiritual purpose on Earth.Samuel became so fascinated by the story that he tracked Michel down, met with him personally, and spent years investigating the claims in the book. We explore hidden chambers beneath the Sphinx, the Grays, Atlantis, the Book of Enoch, Moses, Jesus and Christ, karma, free will, secret societies, extraterrestrial civilizations, and the nine levels of planetary evolution.We also look at humanity in 2026 and ask whether AI, technology, materialism, and nuclear weapons are pulling us away from spiritual growth or whether they can ultimately help awaken us.At the center of it all is a simple message: the body is temporary, the soul continues, knowledge matters, and our true work is the evolution of consciousness.

317. Episode 317 - Communication & The Language of the Body w/ Louise Hay - Legacy Recording
01:10:25||Ep. 317In this episode, I bring the incredible Louise Hay back through the time stream as we listen together to her powerful lecture, “Conversations on Living.” Known as the Queen of Affirmations and one of the most influential voices in modern metaphysics and self-healing, Louise reminds us that the thoughts we think, the words we speak, and the relationship we have with ourselves are constantly participating in the reality we experience.Throughout the lecture, Louise explores the foundational importance of self-love, the subconscious beliefs we inherit during childhood, and how many of us continue operating from old programs that no longer serve the people we have become. She talks about forgiveness, releasing resentment, changing the language we use about ourselves, and recognizing that we cannot live another person’s lessons for them.We also dive into Louise’s fascinating perspective on the relationship between consciousness and the physical body - how fear, anger, repression, guilt, and other emotional patterns may express themselves through the language of the body. From there, we explore affirmations as a way of rewriting those programs, planting new seeds into the subconscious, and consciously directing our thoughts toward healing, abundance, and the highest version of ourselves.After the lecture, we talk about what we learned...

315. Episode 315 - Worlds Beyond the Grave w/ Manly P. Hall - Legacy Recording
01:38:51||Ep. 315In this episode, I listen to another rare lecture from the incredible Manly P. Hall. This time, we dive into his August 21st, 1988 lecture, “Worlds Beyond the Grave,” recorded at the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles.Manly explores one of the greatest mysteries of human existence: what happens when we leave the physical body. Moving through ancient cultures, mystical traditions, reincarnation, the afterlife, the silver cord, multiple planes of consciousness, and the relationship between the physical body and the Overself, he presents death not as an ending, but as a transition into another stage of the journey.After the lecture, I break down some of the ideas that stood out to me most - including Manly’s view that the fear of death is part of a false pattern of living, the idea that consciousness continues beyond the physical body, and the possibility that our work here is really about refining ourselves and preparing for the next experience. Another timeless lecture from one of the greatest esoteric minds of the last century. As with all of our lecture episodes, we listen together and then come back at the end to unpack what we just heard. Drop In!www.prs.orgManly P. Hall Bio:Manly P.

In 1934, he founded the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles, creating a lasting center for the preservation and exploration of spiritual and philosophical wisdom. Although Hall passed away in 1990, his teachings continue to guide generations of seekers searching for a deeper understanding of themselves and the universe.
