79. Subconscious Secrets, Power Dynamics, and Spiritual Sound, with Alistair Conwell

79. Subconscious Secrets, Power Dynamics, and Spiritual Sound, with Alistair Conwell

Australian writer Alistair Conwell transforms four degrees across business and psychology, and years of transformative travel through Europe, the Middle East, and the Indian subcontinent into his novel The Circadian Web: The Space of Time. We discuss how his experiences have influenced his thoughts on topics ranging from the Audible Life Stream and meditation to quantum physics, from consciousness and the costs of modern technology to where the chaos of the modern world might be headed — and what a deeper spiritual shift in humanity could mean for the future.

Our conversation ranges from organizational culture and the “bad apple” myth to the idea of institutions and nations as emergent minds, including the tensions around immigration and identity. We also chat about the power dynamics threaded through The Circadian Web, the geopolitics behind its futuristic settings (Australia, America, and Taiwan), and why Alistair treats a neural AI implant as a character with its own agency.

Books of his we discuss: The Circadian Web: The Space of Time, The Audible Life Stream
