Lincoln Stoller is physicist, mountaineer, software engineer, hypnotherapist, psychotherapist, and author. In this wide-ranging and personal conversation Lincoln shares his lifelong pursuit of truth across disciplines while navigating institutional resistance, personal setbacks, and the messy realities of creativity and human psychology.Lincoln discusses submitting a physics paper that challenges quantum mechanics conventions and the ego-driven blowback it received. He argues that science often prioritizes institutional preservation, funding, and reputation over genuine inquiry. He contrasts practical, experimental physics with academic legacy-building (e.g., decades of fusion research with little progress) and emphasizes that creativity requires stubbornness, tolerance for failure, and resilience against "bad teachers" and closed-minded experts.**Chapters (with approximate timestamps less accurate than the youtube version due to truncation of silence here)**0:00 Introduction & Welcome0:43 Lincoln's Current Overwhelm: Physics Paper Rejection & Moral Obligation to Respond1:30 Who Is Lincoln Stoller? Background, Childhood, and Path to Science3:28 Mountaineering, Physics, Software, Psychedelics, and Becoming a Therapist5:40 Boundaries of Open-Mindedness in Science & Irrational Pushback9:40 Practical vs. Academic Physics, Ego in Science, and Quantum Mechanics Controversies13:50 Fusion Energy Failures, Institutional Inertia & Parapolitics16:20 Challenging Quantum Orthodoxy & the Cost of Creativity19:50 From Physics to Psychotherapy: Limits of Science & Personal Growth25:19 The Rule of Three Questions – When Curiosity Becomes Revolutionary30:37 Innovation, Criticism, and Preaching Morality to the Uninnovative34:33 Psychedelics vs. Dreams: Why Dreams Are More Inscrutable Now39:51 Dreams of Parents & Ex-Wives – Trauma, Processing, and Reality Disintegration45:50 Sociobiology of Motherhood, Bears, and Loving-Kindness48:36 Alternative Education: Summerhill, Sudbury Schools & Democratic Learning55:58 Hypnosis, MKUltra, Suggestive vs. Exploratory Hypnosis & Potential Abuses1:05:23 Trauma Bonding, Groupthink, and Societal Conditioning1:08:06 Child-Rearing Advice: Autonomy, Community, and Loosening the Grip1:14:28 Closing: Website, Books, Blog, "Dreaming Yourself into Being" & Final Message**In Lincoln's own words (first-person highlights):**- On his childhood and drive: "I felt ignored... I ended up looking outward... wanting to get answers and wanting to connect."- On creativity and institutions: "To be creative means there's a lot of monkeying around... you have to be okay with failing."- On science and ego: "You're not going to get a mathematical rebuttal... You're going to get an ego rebuttal."- On dreams: "Dreams... exist to disintegrate your world... They confront me with what I don't know."- On therapy vs. physics: "Psychotherapy is a welcome relief. You get to deal with other people's problems and you get to criticize and judge and get paid for it."- Final reflection: "We're all stupid... You really have to try to improve yourself... consider yourself as a garden that needs to be tended."The conversation flows into Lincoln’s marriages and recurring dream figures (parents and ex-wives), the value of dreamwork over psychedelics, alternative education models like Sudbury/Summerhill schools, the sociobiology of motherhood, hypnosis (suggestive vs. exploratory, and its broader cultural role), and practical parenting advice: give children more autonomy, real consequences, and community exposure rather than helicopter oversight.https://www.mindstrengthbalance.com is Lincoln's site where you can find his books (including free "Dreaming Yourself into Being" for blog subscribers), hypnotic audio, and brain training resources. The episode ends with a call for self-work, courage in therapy, and cultivating wisdom.https://www.facebook.com/lincolnstollerhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/lincolnstollerhttps://mindstrengthbalance.substack.comWant to be a guest on Inner Skilled?

I sit down with Lynda Leonce to explore the profound shift from chasing external success to cultivating true transformation through inner work.Lynda shares her personal awakening journey—how years of climbing the ladder of promotions, relationships, and milestones left her feeling unfulfilled, leading her to a powerful realization: lasting peace and authenticity can only be found by turning the focus inward. Together we discuss living from the “real self” rather than the mind-made identity, the importance of radical honesty, discerning genuine passion from fear or conditioning, and the transformative power of presence and intentional awareness.Key topics include overcoming societal programming, working with habits and patterns in the moment, speaking truth even when uncomfortable, and why consistency in shining the light within creates real change. Lynda also offers practical wisdom on how anyone can begin this journey and shares details about her 1-on-1 coaching, guided inner peace practices, and more.Whether you’re feeling stuck in the “eat, sleep, repeat” cycle or ready to live with greater alignment and joy, this conversation is a gentle yet powerful invitation to come home to yourself.Connect with Lynda Leonce at https://livefromyourtruth.com for 1-on-1 sessions, guided audios, group offerings, and daily insights.A beautiful reminder: transformation isn’t reserved for the few—it’s available to anyone willing to consistently turn inward.0:00 – Introduction & Welcome0:21 – Who Is Lynda Leonce?

Streamed live for Insight Timer Thursday May 7, 2026 also at https://youtube.com/live/2NJOdZCPKuQ(Ai assist:) I reflect informally on the growing role of AI in daily life, spirituality, ethics, and personal dependencyKey themes:I recently paid for an AI service for the first time, mainly to help translate and process untranslated Buddhist Pali commentaries so they can eventually be shared freely. (Although I've since decided not to release these Pali commentaries publicly anytime soon.) I see AI as accelerating work that would otherwise take years.I describe several practical uses of AI:Researching complex topics quickly instead of spending months gathering sources.Getting distilled overviews and asking follow-up questions interactively.Using “agentic AI” to reconstruct archived websites into readable PDFs.Finding recommendations (such as coffee shops) efficiently.At the same time, I worry about growing psychological dependence on AI and technology:People may stop trusting their own judgment and rely on AI for decisions.Convenience may replace spontaneity, wandering, and discovery.Constant connectivity can create emotional tethering and anxiety.I reflect on broader societal concerns:Massive resource consumption from AI infrastructure, including water use and data centers.Potential environmental destruction tied to technological expansion.The possibility that AI will be used not only for healing and discovery but also for greed, domination, power, and control.Spiritually, I question how AI intersects with Buddhist ethics and practice:I reference Buddhist precepts such as non-harm, honesty, avoiding theft, and avoiding intoxication, suggesting these ethical frameworks should also apply to AI usage.I emphasize intention and ethical discernment rather than simple rejection or total embrace of AI.I discuss media saturation and modern psychological overwhelm:Living in a peaceful natural environment contrasts sharply with constant exposure to news about war and suffering.I reflect on balancing compassion and helpfulness without falling into guilt or despair.A major personal insight came from spending a month completely offline:I realized how dependent I had become on devices for grounding, communication, and a sense of reality.Yet after reconnecting, I felt I had not actually “missed” much.This led me to advocate periodic digital withdrawal, reduced notifications, and intentional offline practice.My overall conclusion is nuanced:AI is neither wholly good nor wholly bad.Total rejection is probably impractical given its widespread adoption.The important question is how humans use it, how dependent they become on it, and whether ethical and spiritual awareness can guide its development and use.The reflection ends openly rather than with a firm conclusion, encouraging continued discussion about the spiritual, ethical, and psychological implications of AI.Want to be a guest on Inner Skilled?

Recovered from my old Wisdom App / NoomVibe archive: this is a raw, restored talk and experimental re-upload with lightly improved audio. In this episode I revisit my original “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” decode — exploring symbolism, media narratives, esoteric themes, family structures, consent, transhumanism, mind control theories, occult imagery, and the broader cultural agendas I perceived in the film at the time.This conversation goes far beyond a standard movie review and ventures into speculative, philosophical, and parapolitical territory. These are personal interpretations, reflections, and theories — not claims of fact. Take what resonates, leave the rest, and do your own research.Topics touched on include:• Scarlet Witch and distorted portrayals of motherhood• America Chavez as symbolic commentary on the U.S. and power structures• Illuminati symbolism and “soft disclosure” in popular culture• Transhumanism, consent, and media influence• MKUltra / Monarch programming references and mass media conditioning• Symbols, mudras, attention, awareness, and energetic influence• The importance of directing attention toward wisdom, skillfulness, and well-being rather than fearOriginally recorded outdoors on the Katy Trail in Missouri during my time on Wisdom App.Edited transcript of this: https://pastebin.com/2TyYinhjMore grounded meditation and contemplative resources:https://integratingpresence.comWant to be a guest on Inner Skilled?

(Ai assist:) In this conversation, Richard Tierney, a trauma recovery coach, discusses the importance of understanding trauma and mental health in children. He emphasizes that feelings and emotions should not be labeled as disorders but rather recognized as natural instincts.

Arizona-based LPCs Helene Zupanc and Beth Valdez talk their collaborative passion project: using "sticky note mantras" — short, personalized, humorous, or values-based phrases (drawn from CBT, ACT, songs, quotes, movies, and client creativity) — to interrupt negative thought loops, rewire neural pathways, and foster healthier thinking. They share personal stories: Helene's childhood OCD and early mantra use with her mom; Beth's inattentive ADHD and habit of collecting uplifting quotes/slogans for momentum. Key discussions cover why traditional affirmations often feel inauthentic (leading to toxic positivity or cognitive dissonance), the power of reframing (e.g., "This is my now, not my forever," "People are going to people," "This is survivable"), impermanence ("This too shall pass," urge surfing waves of emotion), not believing every thought (brain lies/shame-free negativity bias), humor/cognitive diffusion, body check-ins, and creating mantras that stick (personal ownership → generic positivity). We also get into meeting people where they are, handling naysayers/resistance, avoiding unsolicited advice, and building therapeutic alliance. The episode blends science (neural pathways, confirmation bias, negative bias), ancient wisdom (e.g., Buddhist impermanence, Rumi influences implied), and practical tools like playlists, sticky notes, and client-generated phrases.0:00 - Intro & Guest Welcome0:17 - Who Are Helene & Beth?

Daniel shares his early clairvoyant experiences in a haunted house, paranormal investigations that reopened his gifts, a profound divine intervention during despair, and how forgiveness, energy protection, and root-cause healing (inherited survival patterns/"spells") transformed his life. Key themes include overcoming the "inner a-hole" (negative self-talk), the role of dark nights of the soul, pendulum divination for spirit communication and crossing over stuck souls, discernment against deceptive energies, the power of love and forgiveness, and helping others unlearn limiting beliefs to live authentically.0:00 - Intro & Weather Chat0:52 - Who is Daniel Anderson?

(Ai assist:) German-born inventor and alternative medicine expert Norbert Heuser (based in Florida for 25 years, with his company in Germany) discusses the health and psychological dangers of widespread wireless technology, particularly cell phones. He explains that all matter operates on frequencies (rooted in quantum physics), and man-made electromagnetic radiation (EMR/EMF from cell phones, Wi-Fi, 5G towers, Bluetooth, etc.) disrupts the body's natural electrical and frequency balance.Key points include:- Cell phones cause *thermal* (heating), *chemical*, and *biological* effects, with harm extending up to ~6-7 feet (demonstrated via kinesiology/muscle testing)- 5G (not new; used as a military weapon since the 1960s) requires dense small cells (every ~300 feet, often hidden in streetlights/traffic signals), rolled out during 2020 lockdowns- EMR levels: Natural background ~80 µW/m²; safe max ~100-120; cell calls ~1,000-2,000+; electric cars 6,000+ — levels above 1,000 deemed highly carcinogenic- Broader impacts: Rising cancer (every third person; projected 77% global increase per WHO), fertility decline, sperm quality drop, autism links, bee die-offs, and autoimmune issues- Industry deception: No proof of harmlessness required; outdated SAR testing (thermal only, ignores biological/chemical); Lloyd's of London won't insure Wi-Fi; 1996 Telecom Act gave telecoms carte blanche- Airplane mode limitations: Reduces but doesn't eliminate (manual deactivation of Wi-Fi/Bluetooth needed)- Addiction aspect: Society can't function without wireless tech; screens erode human interaction (Einstein quote on tech surpassing interaction creating "idiots")- Solutions: Norbert's quantum-physics products (e.g., thin cell phone harmonizers, home/office/car units) invert harmful frequencies (nullify without blocking, allowing function). Tested biologically at Viseu Institute (Austria); cover 5G/6G; made in Germany with long warranties- Cumulative exposure: Neighbors' Wi-Fi, hospitals (1,200+ signals), smart devices — use apps like Fing to visualize- Societal fixes: Ethics/money-driven change needed; references experts like Dr. Barrie Trower, Prof. Olle Johansson, Capt.

Steve Hoskinson, Founder and Chief Compassion Officer of Organic Intelligence® (organicintelligence.org), shares his evolution from clinical psychology and 17 years teaching Somatic Experiencing to creating Organic Intelligence — a gentle, biology-first approach to healing trauma as "unintegrated resource" rather than something to dredge up and relive.Discover why diving into past pain can risk retraumatization, and how focusing on the body's innate self-organizing signals — through subtle cues like a spontaneous breath, a smile, or environmental orientation — catalyzes Post-Trauma Growth. Steve explains the pitfalls of negativity bias, the power of positive arousal (excitement, curiosity, joy) to expand bandwidth, and why exterior attention (sensory connection to the present environment) often precedes inner work.We weave in Buddhist parallels like chanda (wholesome enthusiasm), jhanas, and uncontrived ordinariness and explore coherence, oscillation in biology, avoiding "toxic positivity" traps, and resourcing through natural perception. Steve addresses common misconceptions (e.g., "you have to feel it to heal it"), shares client examples, and highlights how OI fosters resilience without forcing change on a protective system.Whether you're a practitioner, someone navigating trauma, or simply curious about gentler paths to wholeness, this episode offers hope: healing emerges organically when we collaborate with the body's wisdom.0:00 Intro & Welcome to Josh and Steve0:40 Who is Steve Hoskinson?

Dayna Wylder, a holistic practitioner, shares her transformative journey with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Dayna describes how years of childhood trauma, family addiction, domestic violence, suppressed emotions, escapism, and disconnection from her body led to the diagnosis—starting with blindness in one eye and progressing to severe relapses that left her unable to walk, see, or perform basic tasks. She views MS not as a curse but as a profound "gift" and mirror that forced her to stop living "from the neck up," surrender control, and truly turn inward through authentic meditation, presence, and self-inquiry.Dayna explains how her body’s neurological disconnection (MS disrupts brain-body communication) paradoxically created the space for deep meditation and radical self-examination, revealing self-judgment, perfectionism, and externalized happiness. She discusses rejecting disease-modifying drugs early on, pursuing non-traditional paths (Zen meditation, yoga, hypnotherapy, bioenergetics, sound healing, tremor release, bio-scans/frequency work, structured water, PEMF), and the importance of letting go of the "overcome MS" struggle in favor of acceptance and dissolving the label.The conversation explores trauma as foundational to many health issues (via ACE scores, theta-wave imprinting in childhood, self-fulfilling patterns, and life repeating unprocessed experiences), somatic/embodied approaches to release it (sound baths, breathwork, chanting, tremor therapy, EFT, meridian work), the role of perception and reframing, radical acceptance ("it's okay" even in suffering), forgiveness (including self-forgiveness), and the duality of life (light/dark, joy/pain). They touch on modern frequency concerns (beneficial low-Hz therapeutic tools vs. potential harmful high-frequency exposure, directed energy, data privacy), radical acceptance of mortality/loss, and hope through subtle listening (pratyahara/sense withdrawal) to prevent big crises.Dayna emphasizes that healing is about presence, gratitude, meaning-making, and gentle embodied practices rather than force or resistance. She promotes hope: life-altering diagnoses can be turning points, and small daily shifts (quieting, nature, contemplation) can create profound change. She shares her work at https://energyovermatter.com, monthly free healing circles, sound baths, her book Unlearn Disease, Relearn Well-Being, and various modalities.0:13 Who is Dayna Wylder?

[Note: There is silence before and during/at the end of the Live Energy Transmission](We recorded on Oct 30, 2025; this Ai assisted summation mixes together some of my more hardball questions (-- I didn't get around to enquiring about this notion of "creation" --) with Eva's answers, experiences, interests and teachings:)I welcome Eva Müller (https://emhealing.com | https://nextelevations.com), an energy healer and spiritual teacher based in Austria. Eva shares her journey from unfulfilling law studies and corporate jobs to discovering spirituality via guided meditations, energy transmissions, and dedicated practiceCore discussions:• Energy Work Mechanics: Eva channels high-vibrational divine lights to clear blockages (childhood emotions, past-life/ancestral influences) from the body/energy field, restoring life-energy flow (root-to-crown chakra loop). This expands the system, dissolves past/future mechanisms, and reveals intuition/true nature.• Perceptual Experience: She mentions how she senses vibrations/information e.g. perceives as bubbles instead of visuals; blockages feel denser, cleared via expanding light. Group sessions create collective representations for shared healing.• Paths & Ultimate Truth: All paths (devotional, samadhi, consciousness levels) lead to realizing self beyond human—as light aspect (creation) + Absolute (beyond). Spirituality falls away post-realization; life becomes effortless present-moment unfolding.• Self, Eternalism & Discernment: No fixed self—collection of causes/conditions. Eternalism/nihilism as extremes; deception mirrors unresolved energies. High-vibration clears low-vibe interference.• Light Varieties: Creational lights heal human experience/access realms; beyond-creation lights pull to Brahman. Information arrives as knowing/downloads.• Live Transmission: Eva guides a ~12-minute group clearing—expanding fields, filling with light, dissolving surface/mind energies, resistance, fear, identification (“I’m not enough”), past/future. Listeners experience relaxation, stillness, support.[Eva and/or I emphasize] meditation, self-responsibility, cultivation of skillful states and direct energy connections (via her sites). She offers a Free Guided Meditation and Energy Transmission weekly on Thursdays, YouTube healings, retreats, and perpetual transmissions.https://www.em-healing.comhttps://[email protected]://linktr.ee/em_healinghttps://www.instagram.com/_em_healing_https://www.youtube.com/@em-healingTelegram Channel:https://t.me/+6uJfZojPZENmMjVkWant to be a guest on Inner Skilled?

Stuart Perrin describes his transformation beginning at age 16, triggered by witnessing his father's profound serenity just before death from illness. This led him to seek inner peace beyond ordinary life, exploring spiritual traditions while rejecting superficial answers. After years of searching across continents, he met Rudi in a Greenwich Village gallery in New York around age 25. Rudi, a powerful American-born teacher who adapted ancient Eastern practices (drawing from Hinduism, Buddhism, and his own experiences) for Western life, taught him a specific meditation technique focused on building foundational energy in the lower chakras (especially below the navel, akin to dan tian/hara), using breath (double breathing), focused mind, and opening the heart to handle life's chaos, karma, and higher energies like shakti without burnout.A pivotal tragedy occurred in February 1973: Stuart was in a small plane crash in the Catskills with Rudi and two others. Stuart survived (along with the pilot and another passenger), holding Rudi's hand at impact; Rudi died. Stuart interprets this as Rudi's soul force entering him, giving him a mission to transmit these teachings as a servant of higher energy.Stuart has taught for over 50 years, emphasizing practical spirituality: grounding to activate kundalini safely (rising from the base of the spine to the crown for enlightenment), no drugs, transforming external challenges (family, money, emotions) into growth opportunities, and viewing life itself as the ultimate guru. He stresses building inner strength so higher pure energy flows through an open heart as love, joy, compassion, and patience rather than being distorted into chaos or harm. He shares stories like meeting a Tibetan rinpoche who spontaneously taught him advanced practices (including tumo/inner fire parallels), and how true teachers "milk the cow" when students are ready with deep need and inner preparation.The conversation touches on chakras (foundation in the lower ones first), kundalini dangers if ungrounded (vs. safe activation through practice), ethical living, non-dual purity of spiritual energy, and skepticism toward external fixes—real change comes from inner work.The episode ends warmly, with mutual appreciation for wise elders and a shared aspiration for all beings to awaken.0:23 – Stuart's Early Life and the Pivotal Moment: Father's Serenity Before Death2:15 – The Search for Inner Peace and Spiritual Teachers5:58 – Meeting Rudi in Greenwich Village: The Gallery Encounter8:00 – Learning Rudi's Meditation: Grounding, Breath, and Kundalini Activation11:12 – The Plane Crash: Losing Rudi and Receiving His Mission13:49 – Continuing the Teachings: 50+ Years of Practice18:02 – Details of the Crash and Rudi's Background (Brooklyn Roots, Early Experiences)21:21 – Core Teachings: Foundation in Lower Chakras, Mind as Surgical Tool, Double Breathing24:07 – Story with the Tibetan Rinpoche: Tumo and Teachings Drawn Out29:58 – Synchronicities and Milking the Cow: Readiness Attracts Wisdom32:20 – Chakras, Kundalini Snake, Higher Self, and Nature of Spiritual Energy (Purity vs. Polarity)39:12 – Safe Kundalini Awakening, No Drugs Rule43:17 – Ancient Understanding of Sexual Energy and Union (Shiva-Shakti)46:06 – Need for a Teacher, Living in the World, Overcoming Fears (e.g., Money Story)50:04 – Life as the True Guru, Humility, Servant Role53:18 – Readiness, No Accidents, Family as TeacherTakeaways / Soundbites:"You have to build a foundation inside yourself.""The guru is life; your job is to help people get strong enough to sit in front of the real guru.""Happy people are enlightened people.""You need to be grounded inside to activate Kundalini safely.""Time was my friend, giving me an opportunity to learn something extraordinary.""You have to learn how to embrace life instead of turning it into an enemy."https://stuartperrin.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@StuartPerrinNYChttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudi_(spiritual_teacher)Want to be a guest on Inner Skilled?
