The hard problem of consciousness? What problem? A leading neuroscientist shares with us the remarkable facts about what we do know and what we definitely do not know about the brain. In this interview she makes it abundantly clear what the brilliant research promises and also what it has not yet and may never be able to deliver: how the water changes into wine in her own words. A truly enlightening talk with a scientist who robustly veers away from speculation and retains her focus on what neuroscience can do to help people with Alzheimer's disease.

Who were the Toltecs? What was their procedure which would result in a far saner human being present? Does that sound like a tall order? Of course it is! That is why we need people like Mario Gomez Mayorga who have really walked down that path and applied the teachings to those who really need it. People with existential dilemmas, depression, physical disease and most common of all simple grief. The modern world is soul destroying especially for the sensitive of heart as we all know too well. Where to go? Who to see? How to overcome these profound issues of the inner person, the one deep below the name and the title? Mario shares over three decades of experience mainly in the jungle environment of his home base in Palenque and shows how the ancient Toltecs are still here. Their way of teaching will amaze you. Even Mario did not know how he was learning until he had learned! But what he learned has proven to be very precious, not only for himself but for the people who come to walk the path through the jungle

We live in an age of electromagnetic pollution par excellence. We are continuously bombarded by invisible waves emitting from cell towers, computers and flat screens for example. For most this may not be an issue but there seems to be a growing number of people who simply cannot deal with it. These are called electrohypersensitive and it can result in all manner of debilitating symptoms. In this interview the doctor most responsible for proclaiming the benefits of earthing or grounding the body now broaches the potential effects it can have on EHS individuals. She helps us to understand the deeper mechanics of earthing and what we need to do to shield ourselves from unwanted radiation in our technologically advanced culture. With a lot of attention now being focused on 5G cell towers and their potentially damaging effects the timing could not be better to listen to the doctor known as 'The Intuition Physician'. She also shares with us the stiff resistance she faces by exposing the issue of grounding vs electr

A war zone birth leads to multiple traumatic events that under 'ordinary' circumstances might generate a life of disability and unsolvable pain. Or, as certain individuals have shown us throughout human history, the suffering itself becomes the balm our soul most deeply craves. We have all heard of those who rise above their own pain and frequently choose the path of service to others as a result. Such an individual is Michael Stone. From a stage set by his mother trying to kill him and then killing herself, through to his own wife being murdered Michael delved really deep. He learned meditation and he learned how to dance firmly into his own body as he studied with Gabrielle Roth. He learned age old knowledge with shamans and gleaned insights from the ways of all wounded healers..the ways to bring us back to congruence, sanity and unity. He then utilized this hard won wisdom to guide organizations around the world including the California EPA, Microsoft, Boeing, Prudential and Humana. He has long been involv

The ancient dichotomy of mind and body has led science to physical realism i.e. an observable and very real, objective and concrete 'world' exists irrespective of you or I perceiving it. Philosophy and religion have had other views of spirit and mind but not until people like Dr. Bernardo Kastrup appeared have we had such a rigorous re-examination of the so called 'physicalist' paradigm and in fact a total refutation of it. With his new book now a best seller before it is even published Bernardo Kastrup has taken the metaphysical and scientific world by storm. With impeccable logic he clearly and most finally informs us in no uncertain terms that materialism is baloney. It really IS all in the mind..

Imagine a Shaolin monk with acupuncture needles riding on a Navajo horse from the ancient plains of a forgotten sense of healing and wellness. A quiet and unassuming master of somatic awareness and modern medical systems who suggests people get into cold showers, sober up and get with their whole selves. Hailing from the hinterlands of British Columbia's rugged landscapes Michael Smith is both a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, a gifted martial artist and an experiencer of the hunting and trapping lifestyle of his aboriginal roots. In this deep interview he counsels us well as to the meaning of integrative health solutions and acts as our health detective always pointing the way with unique and meaningful stories culled from his own rich training in multiple disciplines. He asks us to envisage ourselves as the horse upon which the samurai sits with binoculars i.e. to a far more total sense of being in this world as dysfunctional and often addicted primates. He does it with compassion and care and most

What do Tesseracts, Philip K. Dick, Photosynthesis,the Titanic, Freudian dreams, Norman Mailer, UFO, Quantum entanglement, Sexy science research, Minkowski's block universe, Synchronicity re-defined, Remote viewing re-viewed, Occult Prague, Anthropology, Unemployed Jungian Archetypes, Jacques Vallee and Flying Koans all connect to? Dr. Eric Wargo, author of Time Loops: Precognition, Retrocausation and the Unconscious answers the question in this scintillating discussion of where we have come back from and where we went to get here.

Picture yourself with a group of forty people. You want to enter an ancient Egyptian temple but these days they are guarded by folks who would prefer that they not be used for ceremonies. You play cat and mouse to get in and you do! Who but a highly creative and able shaman would attempt such a travesty on pop tourism, where taking pictures and listening to the same old sarcophagus stories might suffice. Nicki has conducted over 60 such journeys to Egypt alone and it is always with the same idea in mind: connect to those same deities the ancient Egyptians held in such high esteem. The Gods never left..it was only us who made that tragic decision to disconnect. And now look at the planet! Nicki is a wise elder in an ageless school, and she recommends self initiation in these dire days of planetary emergency. Like all good shamans she does not call herself one. Enjoy this refreshing banter with a priestess of the temple.Visit her site here: http://www.shamanicjourneys.com/

The late twentieth century saw the advent of a stunningly unique phenomenon on the internet. Called 'The Wingmakers' it purported to be a radical understanding of who we are and where we are going as a species. Chris Lock, a trained architect, talented artist and long time educator in Japan's university system shares his journey from Buddhism in the UK to his experience of profound enlightenment through his deep study of the Wingmakers cosmology. It is a fascinating window into the probable future. Chris has written a world class paper on the Wingmakers' material that can be downloaded at his site here: www.chrislock.com or directly here as a PDF: https://www.wingmakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/chamber17essay.pdf

George Tani , later to become Screaming Mad George, was born in Japan and headed out to seek his fortune in New York at the age of eighteen. Thus began an incredible story leading to his becoming a major makeup artist in Hollywood long before computer graphics rendered that art form obsolete. From his awakening through Salvador Dali's work to his punk rock band and on to a series of serendipity he landed on his feet with the major makeup artists of the era in Los Angeles. They mentored him as he worked for free as an assistant that led to his beginning a very successful career in that industry. From The Howling, American Werewolf and on to Cocoon he was introduced to an entirely new form of horror and SF surrrealism that he was totally ready to do something with. George is a great example of a man who learned as he moved and shows us how an artist can never really stand still. His time in the US with nine years in New York and two decades in L.A. finally led him back to Japan where he now teaches his skills t

For over 600 years Kyogen comedy has been part of the cultural fabric of Japan. It had always been an intrinsic form of entertainment for the common people until the Edo period when samurai lords decided they would make it their own, thus in a sense fossilizing its ad lib brilliance in favour of a more scripted and sanitized art. Always kept in the rather rarified domain of special families of performers its popularity has waned and many modern Japanese have never experienced its unique dynamism, its sophisticated yet hilarious word play and its multitextured stories. Tadashi Ogasawara, not from any of these traditional families, was suddenly introduced to Kyogen at the age of seventeen and has become a leading innovator and international performer as a result. In this first of a series of interviews we have the chance to hear the disciple of a National living treasure share his initial journey into this truly fascinating world. In months to come he will continue to train artists in France and has recently pe

What is the BOX? How do we find out about that space we choose to live inside of? Clint has been on the front lines of helping people to see just how we construct it and then, more importantly, how we move beyond it through tried and tested evolutionary games we can all learn to play. This seminal theatre of possibilities belongs to us all and after more than four decades of trial and error Clint has gleaned some real jewels that he shares with us here.

Ryo Onishi teaches the Russian martial art called SYSTEMA (The System) in both English and Japanese. He was the first Japanese to be given the honour of becoming an instructor of this ancient discipline and now heads the Systema Osaka centre as well as teaching around the world. He had just returned from recent teaching seminars in Europe and Australia as well as at the top school outside of Russia in Canada when we sat down in the empty practise hall to talk. But this interview is not about how to overcome opponents and become a martial arts superman. In fact systema, with a thousand years of history behind it defies our modern classifications of martial arts. Rather than try to explain its unique methods of teaching this interview focuses on the man who practises and teaches it as a way of rather profound personal growth in all areas. Beginning with Ryo taking the leap of faith to move from Japan to the UK and the very stiff challenges he faces as a young student with limited English ability, through to his

Welcome to the real twilight zone, the one they will tell you does not exist. New York born Greg Sullivan, mentored by world renowned disclosure expert Dr. Steven Greer, has been teaching ET contact protocols in Japan for years and has a truly unique story to tell of how high level obfuscation, cover ups and sheer bad will have clouded this single most important issue for all of us (in my humble opinion) i.e. extraterrestrial contact. Dr. Greer's decades long effort to clear a path through this murky story have been exemplary and have culminated in the Netflix film Unacknowledged. Greg shows us how not only is disinformation about UFO phenomena the norm but that they are being manipulated through ARV. These are human made and piloted Alien Reproduction Vehicles that form a part of the extraordinary narrative he shares with us. Throughout Japan Greg has taught people how to make contact, film it and document it in a way that is both enlightening and highly enjoyable, thus arresting the tired old image of 'nast

Earthing has now firmly taken its place in the world of natural health and healing. However the science, where is the science we so often hear. Well here it is! Beginning with his research as a plasma physicist working on nuclear fusion machines Dr. Chevalier takes us through the progression of connections that leads to Japan's legendary Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama and his work with him up to his current position assisting Deepak Chopra and Clint Ober in finding out what happens when the body gets connected to Earth. How about one second for the autonomic nervous system to change? How about pain relief in a few moments? What are the implications for diabetes, auto immune diseases and the plethora of ills that seem to have deluged our societies since we invented insulated soles on our shoes? This is paradigm shifting at its best since it is clear from over 15 peer reviewed studies that the effects are real and that there is a science behind it all..one still in its development stages. See the youtube version here and

The allure of zen began to tantalize the West back in the 1960's thanks to the brilliant books of the Japanese scholar and monk D.T. Suzuki and closely followed by eclectic philosopher Alan Watts and many others. They saw in zen perhaps a new clarity that Western religion and philosophy had long forsaken for sophistry,  tepid social morality and born again inanity in many cases. To the true seeker of wisdom zen had none of that and so we saw Bill and Steve, arguably the creators of our internet world take themselves to places like India and Esalen to get a taste of this new kid on the block; Zen Buddhism. Monasteries sprang up in the US and around the world to anchor people in this new approach to reality that could never get defined as this or even that. Zen busted apart all the conceptual greenhouses we tend to warm our spiritual selves inside. It was full of paradox, humour and searing honesty about the human condition. Abbot Muho, born in Germany truly is one of a kind. To become the abbot of a contempora

Pastor Koichi Hirano works as a Tokyo based, world traveling messenger of God even still at the age of 74. Bilingual and with rich experience in both the US and Japan as a bible teacher, family and marriage counsellor as well as now heading his own Horizon Chapel he is known to deliver five impassioned sermons in one day! He is surely a tireless crusader for the same Holy Spirit that seems to power his every move. Pastor Hirano has recently developed a fascination with the work of holofractographic scientist Nassim Haramein. He sees clear refllections of Biblical knowledge throughout Haramein's theories of the vacuum space full of infinite energy. Well aware of the challenges the established church system around the world faces he draws from the deep well of scripture to show us how Haramein's ideas resonate completely with ancient tradition. Beyond that it seems that in this interview there really has emerged a bridge between the often embattled systems of the left and right cerebral hemispheres of our brain

One day the already well practised flautist was told to blow on a stone flute. This is not exactly an instrument since no human hand had anything to do with its formation. Apparenly small crabs excrete an acidic substance on rocks to slowly create holes into which they will burrow their future homes. This make the stone flute a completely natural creation. To play it then requires an entirely different approach to 'music' as he explains to us. The Shinto priest who encouraged him to start also reprimanded him for having an attitude of 'practise' since this device can be considered a way of inviting the Gods to come to us. "Could you rehearse a talk with God" he quips? Or would you give that moment your full attention, with no intention of showing off, sounding perfect or even making any musical sense? Like a zen riddle you cannot really learn to play the stone flute, you have to just just press it to your lips and see what happens! In the future this interview will be subtitled on film for those of us not flu

She sits quietly on the edge of an ice floe for a photo shoot after having just come out of the Greenland Sea @ minus three degrees celsius. Extraordinary adventures and experiments with one's own physiology we call biohacking these days. In this uplifting interview we share the inside experiences of a woman who has dedicated herself to pushing her own physiology and consciousness far beyond the norm. Her rallying call is Disturb the Comfort and that is exactly what she does. A life of travel and exploration led her from free diving to the frigid power of freezing water and clearly helped her overcome the single biggest trauma she had ever experienced. Spiralling in and out of helplessness and depression from it she found, like her mentor the 'Iceman' fellow Dutchman Wim Hof, that cold is the noble force that takes us out of ourselves and thus deeply back into ourselves through a paradox well known to shamans throughout time. She inspires us with news that a new tribe has arrived on Earth and they do not just

So welcome to.. the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way Serendipidy is defined thus in the dictionary but we do not often connect it to wheeling and dealing in multiple businesses in multiple countries and in multiple languages do we? Meet a true blue entrepreneur who goes by his nickname Harry but whose Japanese name is Hakuei Kosato. Just during this in person interview he fended calls from Mumbai and Hong Hong in connection with the Great British Week in Tokyo's chic Roppongi-an event he invented like so many others to bring something unique into form and very importantly to 'pay the bills' doing it... something his mentor Richard Branson taught him. On his way to London from Kobe via his Tokyo office I caught this effervescent man for long enough to receive a byte of his substantial knowledge about what it really takes to be an entrepreneur. Packed with enlightening hints about how to stop doing what you do NOT want to do and get on with what you do want to do, Harr
