The Energy of Empire 13. World War I - Perfidious Albion?

The Energy of Empire 13. World War I - Perfidious Albion?

In contrast to the Boer War, where British actions are pretty hard to defend, in the First World War they look either virtuous, coming to the aid of neutral Belgium, or at worst defensive, acting to prevent a German dominated Europe. For a more critical take it seems we look outside of mainstream academia, to more independent historians. Perfidious Albion is the subject of Gerry Docherty and Jim MacGregor’s book: Hidden History, The Secret Origins of the First World War.

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
