In A Perfect World

On the road to Burning Man in a Toyota Prius with Rak Razam and radical cyber anthropologist Jenny Ryan (aka Tuna Bananas), research assistant to media pundit Howard Rhinegold (The Virtual Community and Smart Mobs). Jenny discusses cyber literacy, smart mobs and virtual communities with experiential journalist Rak Razam... How do we use technology to form communities and conduct virtual everyday social interactions? Does social networking keep the drones sedate and make us good workers? Or does Super-poking and quiz sharing provide a social glue for online communities? Where does the drift towards hive mind collectivism in the human matrix being able to laterally recognize itself – an ambient awareness – lead us? What role does the ego play in blogging and lifestreaming? And as social tribes grow, does it increase our pool of knowledge and ability to draw upon the wisdom of the collective? Or is it all an Orwellian marketing wet dream? The intent behind technology makes all the difference... *warning* some

A robust round table discussion first broadcast on the Munt Warning drug harm reduction show, River FM in Lismore, Northern NSW, Australia in Jan 2010. Featuring hosts Paul and Jackie Onassid, with guests experiential journalist Rak Razam, Aussie plant specialist Mulga, and youth culture representative Dylan Heller. What is the difference between entheogens and drugs and what role does DMT or Dimethyltryptamine straddle between the two as this archaic knowledge crests in the Western consciousness? Is DMT in danger of becoming a recreational street drug, as with the leaf extract known as "Changa"? What about the religious spiritual usage as with ayahuasca churches? Can modern culture reclaim the sacred, and is DMT the vehicle for it? Does DMT take us to the realm we go to when we die? Is it a portal to God? Are there alien entities in the hyperspace it takes one to? And what good is the knowledge of the DMT experience when we come back? This debate covers the pros and cons, the dangers and the ineffable myste

In conversation with Mark McCloud, acid blotter art historian and 60s archivist in his home in the Mission district of San Francisco, August, 2009. In which experiential podcaster Rak Razam learns from the master about the colorful and mind-expanding history of blotter art, from the early acid chemist oufits like the "Ghost" and the underground crews that ran the business of enlightenment. Discover who first put artwork on blotter and how the process of dipping the chemical on artwork was evolved. Acid was originally dipped on string, sugar cubes–even underwear, in the case of Michael Hollingshead (who wrote the book The Man Who Turned On the World) before blotter paper was hit on as a mode of transportation. And then the artform really took off, originally with the chemists themselves choosing the art that would grace the minds of a generation of trippers. But how does the art influence the trip? Did trips like the "Gorbies" with Mikail Gorbachov heads help tumble the Berlin Wall? Why did the infamous Mickey

A Skype interview conducted in mid-2007, from which a feature article was printed in Australian Penthouse. Here experiential journalist Rak Razam interviews the prophet Raël, who may or may not be the messiah, or just a very naughty boy, to paraphrase Monty Python. Raël claims to have had a UFO encounter in 1973 where the Elohim (the original name in the Hebrew bible for the "sky people", later converted to "God" in Western translations) gave him the mission to be their last prophet on earth. Raël's mission is to build a space embassy in Israel (the third temple) to welcome the Elohim (and to provide sexy "Raël's Angel's" brides for our alien masters). Raël claims the Elohim created all life on earth through their super science and cloning, and that they hold the secret to eternal life. Far off in space with clones of Jesus, Mohammed and other luminaries, the Elohim watch us like a clip of "Cosmic YouTube", waiting for us to reach maturity. As whacked out as all this may sound, there are definite seeds of an

An illuminating conversation with experiential podcaster Rak Razam, Dylan and Danny Horvath–the God Club–in which they discuss feeding the noosphere, blossoming divinity and the Western ego, and feeding back to the Source. Should we fear feeding and being fed upon by higher dimensional forces like lambs to the slaughter? Feeding heaven and feeding the earth... Should we shun the Hive mind or embrace the way the individual units make up the whole? How best to be conscious of the web of life we are all part of and feed into? Can we surrender into the larger collective organism? How to cope having the shell of you cracked open on the shores of heaven to reveal your God-nature within... in every moment... A species signal activation peaking in the gene pool... Discover the profound secret in the heart of all humanity in this intense episode of In a Perfect World...

An experiential podcast with Rak Razam and special guest, Sufi academic Wahid Azal. In which is discussed the feminine Godhead (Sophia) which preceeds the masculine Logos, the two trees of knowledge in the Garden of Eden, and the synergy between Hebrew, Islamic and Christian religions, amongst other things... Wahid is the sheik of an Iranian Sufi mystic order that uses an ayahuasca analogue–haoma–as its active sacrament and here he expounds at length about the mystic traditions of the Middle East and the entheogenic sacraments that catalyzed them. Sufism predates Islam and Wahid's order–Fatimiya–believes in multiple levels of divinity, where the Word of God is in the book, not the many prophets of God, and where they worship the daughter of the prophet Mohammed as the representation of the Godhead-ess. The entheogenic use of plants within these secret sects of Sufis has been underground for millennia and is again sprouting in some areas of the Middle East, despite persecution from the mainstream religions. Wa

A special interview by Phe Gitsham and Rak Razam with Richard Hilleard of the Australian Remote Viewing Unit in Perth. Rick has been trained as a Remote Viewer by former US army Major Ed Dames. Remote Viewing is a procedure developed by parapsychologists and gifted psychic individuals, at Stanford Research Institute [SRI] in Menlo park, California, US. The procedure allows anyone to gather information about anything, in the past, present or future. Remote viewing has been sponsored by the CIA – the initial research program was called SCANATE [scan by coordinate] this started in the 1970's at SRI. Over the years many other classified projects were launched. Names like GRILL FLAME, CENTERLANE, SUN STREAK and STAR GATE were used for these then classified projects. Here we talk about the essence of remote viewing, the military-corporate use of extra-sensory perception and the burgeoning science of precognition in the 21st century.

Is a psychedelic community merely a state of mind? Can meaningful change be manifested in the material world by an activated collective? From Elesius to the Haight Asbury, illuminated communities have pointed the way, but what would a 21st century psychedelic community be like? How do emerging technologies and sustainability dovetail with a psychedelic future? What models for psychedelic community both living existing, past and potential (tribes, kibbutzes, communes etc) can we draw upon? What is the correct place for a workable entheogen at the core of the tribe? What went right and what went wrong in the 60s-70s back to the earth movement? Is a psychedelic sustainable community the much needed step forward?

A deep meta-programming discussion of the self organizing patterning of God, with experiential podcaster Rak Razam and Colonel Kurtz – the "most dangerous mind in psychedelia". How does reality self-regulate itself, and how conscious is it of the cosmic ecosystem it has created? If we're all part of the spiritual foodchain should we resist being fed and being fed upon by higher Invisible Vampiric Hierarchies? Does the core God-consciousness roll out a template pattern, like a web 'skin' for how things work in the universe, that all subordinate god-patterns have to follow? Are we all 'Meta-Africans' depleted by higher forces and starving for their God-nature? If the role of God is like that of a CPU, then even God must one day take a holiday... But who shall replace him in the cosmic shift-handover? Can an entheonaut with pure intent grasp the mantle, and who is pure enough? Arbitrary meta-patterns, self-organizing patterning, spiritual hierarchies and divine networks... let Colonel Kurtz expand your vocab

Martin discusses "infinity loops", the fractal nature of reality, the consciousness behind the evolutionary drive across history... and crystalline dimethyltryptamine... What role does DMT play in making us self-aware, and how has the evolutionary drive created this crystalline catalyst to dress higher dimensional consciousness in matter forms? Is DMT an ingression of the Godhead, and what role does it and altered consciousness play in the history of religion? Let Martin Ball rap lyrical – and tell you his take on the DMT elves...
