Aliens, Gods, or Both? Cosmic Questions Over Coffee

from Pagan Coffee Talk · host Life Temple and Seminary

Send us Fan MailWhat lies at "the end of desire"? This intriguing line from the Charge of the Goddess—"I am that which is attained at the end of desire"—sends us on an exploration of desire itself, from basic survival instincts to our most complex spiritual longings.Desire powers our most essential functions. Yet desire can also transform into greed, obsession, and attachment when left unexamined. As we navigate challenging economic times, the distinction between genuine needs and mere wants becomes increasingly crucial. How do we honor necessary desires while preventing others from overwhelming our spiritual growth?The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we consider whether ancient gods might actually have been extraterrestrial visitors. Could stories like the arrival of the Tuatha Dé Danann or ancient hieroglyphs depicting strange objects in the sky be evidence of alien contact? More provocatively, if gods once directly interfered in human affairs but later stepped back, what does this suggest about humanity's spiritual development?Throughout our discussion, one theme remains constant: the importance of self-honesty. We must recognize when we're gaslighting ourselves about what we truly need versus what we merely want. The witch's admonition to "know thyself" becomes essential guidance, with meditation serving as our most powerful tool for developing this awareness. By confronting our desires honestly, we begin the journey toward understanding what truly awaits us at the end of desire—whether that's reunion with divine energies after death or moments of tranquility within this lifetime.What do you believe awaits at the end of desire?

AI Erik's Podcast Audio Erik Conn The AI News Podcast where we talk AI. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
