SoapboxThe Prisoner w Joe - Part OneThis week we begin our in-depth exploration of the 1967 series that changed TV forever: Patrick McGoohan's masterpiece, "The Prisoner".Surreal, clever, gripping, beautiful, groundbreaking, and career-ending, this series broke television's rules and forever elevated the medium of episodic television to new heights. Cited as a major inspiration for J.J. Abrams' Lost (and with a series finale that made people even angrier than Hurley being the stupid island), this show is positively infamous. With good cause, too. Nothing can prepare you for the vibes, the psychological mindf*ckery, the costumes.Originally airing out of the...

SoapboxSATELLITE OF GOD w Daniel Rekshan: Disclosure, Hypnosis, Dreams, & The Truth About Chris Bledsoe's UFO of GodAfter Daniel’s extensive research uncovered conclusively that the “UFO of God” event, after which Chris Bledsoe’s book was named, was in actuality a man-made satellite, he discovered that everyone involved was entirely uninterested in his evidence. We explore why Chris’ UFO can be both a satellite and a genuine contact event through the ancient logic of ceremonial magic, and how this model seems to work better than any other for making sense of contact experiences.We get into how the Bledsoe’s can be totally honest and genuine while still potentially being manipulated by the power...

SoapboxReclaim the World of Dreams w Amaya RourkeI think of Amaya Rourke as one of the most honest people in the world of alternative spirituality. Her latest work follows this same theme, born out of the pure need to navigate the neverending onslaught of information we are all bombarded with and help others cultivate their intuition in an age of prolific doubt, constant adrenal stimulation, endless contrary opinions, and the overarching and very much intentional hijacking of our ability to imagine, both as individuals and collectively.We discuss Harriet Tubman’s unshakable trust in her visions which had life or death consequences in the un...
