The Energy of Empire 10. Honduras - The Banana Republic

The Energy of Empire 10. Honduras - The Banana Republic

By the turn of the twentieth century, and much as with Nicaragua, American corporations were consolidating large landholdings and lobbied the US government to protect their investments as they ran into conflict over issues such as peasants rights. The first US military incursion took place in 1903 and occurred consistently over the succeeding decades. Because the country was effectively controlled by American fruit corporations, it was the original inspiration for the term ‘banana republic.’

Psychedeics - Tim Freke

Psychedeics - Tim Freke

What role have psychedelics played in mystical experience through the ages? What role might they play ow and in the future? Is it possible to have a mystical experience without the use of substances. These are the question I get into with Tim, as well as asking him about his own journey using psychedelic substances to change consciousness.

In the Light of Death

In the Light of Death

Tim wrote 'In the Light of Death' in an effort to link the perennial philosophy with bereavement therapy. Now with the book back in print I ask him bout his experiences working with the dying which influenced its writing. We also discuss the mounting evidence from near death experience and after death communication research and how this changes our relationship with both death and the deceased.

Consciousness, Creativity & Writing - with Tim Freke

Consciousness, Creativity & Writing - with Tim Freke

I ask Tim about his career as a writer, how he got into it and how it's developed over the past twenty years (and thirty-five books!). We then get into the nature of creativity and it's relationship to the deep conscious space within us. This is a discussion of value to anyone in engaging in any creative endeavour.

The Guru - with Tim Freke

The Guru - with Tim Freke

The term 'Guru' has become synonymous with abusive relationships and ego inflation, when not so long ago the Guru's of the East were held in such high esteem. In this dialogue we look at all that's wrong with the concept of a Guru, as well as attempting to sift out the positive aspects that can be salvaged an incorporated into a healthy modern spirituality.

Zen Made Easy - With Tim Freke

Zen Made Easy - With Tim Freke

In our first dialogue I ask Tim all about Zen Buddhism – where it came from, what distinguishes it from other forms of spirituality and how it's been interpreted in the West. We look at Zen as not being one thing so much as being 'chalk and cheese' to itself, containing authoritarian teachings as well as iconoclastic rebels.   With thanks to alegri for use of cover image
