The Whole Rabbit

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we are joined by Julian the Philosopher as our special guest to discuss one of Friedrich Nietzsche's most celebrated and important works of philosophy, his book “Beyond Good and Evil.” If you’ve been following our prolonged discussion with Julian, one big question we are attempting to tackle in earnest is where does Aleister Crowley and the religion of Thelema fall within the moral spectrum found between Homer, Socrates and Fredriech Nietzsche. Because Nietzsche is considered a Thelemic saint we compare passages within Beyond Good and Evil to The Book of the Law while Julian peppers us with historical and philosophical context along with the tea about Nietzsche's utterly tortured love life. As with anytime we’re discussing anything of cosmic importance on this show, the gods try to test us and Julian's electric grid was actively being struck by Thor’s hammer throughout our discussion. This resulted in some unpleasantly low compression at times, so, we ask you to just bare with us and we’ll have it fixed next time. By the end of the free show you’ll have a pretty solid idea of where this adventure is going next time and if you want double the abuse for your brain, we finish the entirety of chapter 1 by the conclusion of the extended episode.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we’re joined by Jennifer Billock, an award-winning journalist, bestselling author, and the world’s only professional cheese fortune-teller to discuss her craft, how it works and some of the intricacies of using various foods to divine fortunes with. In the first half of the show we break down exactly how Jennifer accomplishes her profound feats of divination from “noisy” cheese like a crumbling blue to almost featureless pseudo-cheese like American. After breaking down the nuance, we continue in the extended show with a real, live reading from Jennifer who examines our own cheese to divine our fortunes, demonstrating in real-time that tyromancy is definitely well beyond being just an amusing novelty and is capable of being uncomfortably profound. I’m sure you’ll want to get a reading from her after hearing this interview so check out links in the description.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we conclude our three part journey through the seventeen stages of the heroes journey as laid out by Joseph Campbell in his seminal work “Hero with a Thousand Faces.” In the free section of the show we discuss THE ULTIMATE BOON which we explore in its various manifestations including the traditional narcotic coded drink of the gods and heroes; soma. We also discuss the reluctance to return from the journey (looking at you Odysseus), the magick shapeshifting flight and the occasional need (plot twist) for the hero to be rescued from without. In the extended show we Cross the Threshold and explore what exactly that means, if it's even possible to describe it; which is the next, difficult step which gives way to the journey coming full circle, the work accomplished and freedom rings once more.

In this week’s episode we embark on part 2 of our journey to slap each and every single one of the Hero’s 1,000 faces as laid out in Joseph Campbell’s titular work that outlines the seventeen phases of the Heroes Journey. We begin the free show by discussing the best phase of the heroes journey, the encounter with the Goddess of the Universe before moving onto the phase where she becomes a deadly temptress which is nothing compared to integrating the Oedipal demon of the Dark Father and his subsequent redemption something something where did my foreskin go? In the extended show we discuss the tenth stage, "Apotheosis" and that takes the entire rest of the episode because, frankly, somebody has to geek out about this stuff!

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we take the first step on the journey through The Hero of a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell and discuss, with nerd-like passion, the nuance surrounding each specific stage of the hero's journey as explained in the text. For a podcast that geeks out about symbolism; it doesn’t get much more bread and butter than this. In the free side of the show we make it through the first four stages of the heroes journey: The Mundane World, The Call to Adventure, Refusal of the Call and Supernatural Aid; touching upon the variety (or lack thereof) you can expect in each stage while using mythology both modern and classic as guide posts along the way. In the extended show we discuss Crossing the Threshold, the tremendous ordeal of being swallowed within the Belly of the Whale and the laundry list of trials each hero faces on their path to either Mordor or tax season. Thank you and enjoy the show.DISCLAIMER:I think we need to clear up some confusion. First of all, I’m very tired. Secondly, I’m very tired. Thirdly, the book we’re studying, Hero with a Thousand Faces is by Joseph Campbell but is BASED upon Carl Jung’s ideas of the collective unconscious, the archetypes and the path to individuation by interaction with. When you’re manically alternating between exhaustion and manic excitement it's easy to get the Cs and Js confused ok?? That being said, Jung is quoted numerous times throughout the text. At this point just assume we’ve mixed up the names a number of times during  this specific recording. My apologies. I'll sleep when I'm dead. In this week’s show we discuss:-The World of the NPC: The Office, the Shire and Tatooine -The Call to Adventure: Neo, Barbie and Danny from the Shining-Refusal of the Call: King Minos, Cypher and Luke Skywalker-Supernatural Aid: Morphes, Beatrice of Dante’s Inferno, Weird Barbie-Magickal Black-Man Tropes In the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go further down the heroes rabbit hole (gross) and discuss:-Crossing the Threshold: Walking Through the Mirror, Entering the Temple, Vagina Dentata-The Belly of the Whale: Being Pilled, The Trash Compactor, Jonah-The Road of Trials: John Wick, Hercules, Pan’s Labrynth and Alice in Wonderland. This episode was written by Luke Madrid in collaboration with Tim Hacker who wrote the skeleton of the schizo’s journey for each seventeen stages with commentaries.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we explore if there is any truth behind the well loved, pop-psychology meme going around the internet the last few years detailing THE SILENT WAR; a covert struggle for the mind’s of the masses between a decentralized group of marginalized schizo-autists and a loosely affiliated cadre of enfranchised psychopathic elites: or more simply, the secret war between the schizos and the psychos - a theory that proponents claim is as old as time and offers us a new perspective on the dynamics between the hidden genius of charismatic predators who run things from the shadows and the weirdos like us who happen to notice them but can’t seem to get normal people to listen until it's too late. In the extended show we go into even deeper detail on how psychopaths manipulate the herd and some examples of exactly how it works all the way from the geopolitical stage to the work place. Lastly, we talk about how to identify and defend against the psychopath and hits plots.

Work on the “schizoide Alkoholiker” (schizoid alcoholic) personality type, circa World War I period. Swiss psychiatrist; describes a constitutional style of intense inner experience, social withdrawal, and emotional distance that sits on the milder end of what later became the schizophrenia-spectrum / schizoid personality continuum. The script treats this as an early clinical analogue of the meme’s “schizo.”Kahlbaum, Karl Ludwig. Description of heboidophrenia (1890s). Condition emerging in adolescence/young adulthood that primarily disturbs personality, drive, mood, and social behaviour rather than intelligence; can present with antisocial, irritable, or “psychopathic”-appearing traits that are secondary to an underlying schizophrenic process. The script uses this to illustrate clinical blending of the two poles.Literary ParallelDick, Philip K. Ubik (1969). Three-class division of humanity (normies / psychics / inertials) mapped by the script onto the Silent War triad (normies / psychopaths / schizo-autists).

Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia (1972). Introduction of “schizoanalysis”; desire as productive, machine-like, deterritorializing force that capitalism both unleashes and reterritorializes under profit axioms.

Central claim that pathocracy arises when a small minority with personality disorders (especially primary psychopathy, plus certain schizoid and “characteropathic” configurations) attain critical institutional influence and select for their own kind. Introduces paramoralisms, paralogic, and the gradual inversion of language and morality. Estimates essential psychopathy ≈ 0.6 % of population plus a larger “penumbra.”Stigler, George J.

In this week’s episode we invite our friend Julian the Philosopher back on the show to discuss the mythic source material from which Christopher Nolan’s new film is based: The Odyssey. We discuss not just Nolan’s new film, but Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, quite a bit of the historical context around these works of epic poetry, how these stories were thought of initially, criticized by Plato, recontextualized by Virgil, translated countless times and transformed into Nolan’s new blockbuster film. As part of our larger conversation, we discuss the dichotomy between the Homeric hero and the Platonic Hero of the mind, considering how each incarnation of the story fits into this framework or not.

In this week’s episode we are joined once again by the Mighty Julian the Philosopher to continue our discussion about the world’s most important philosophers, the ideas they championed and how we can use their wisdom to untangle the madness that has come to define our modern world. In this episode we focus on the most important mind to ever grace Western civilization; Plato, with some emphasis placed upon his dialogues in the Symposium and various arguments made in The Republic. In the extended side of the show we begin to explore how Plato’s teachings intersected with Nietzsche and Aleister Crowley, stopping to read some poetry from a number of the authors we discuss and conclude with a view of the dark, science fiction dystopia that stretches out before us on our next leg of the journey to seek the good life.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we grab our “They Live” glasses and descend down into Kane Parson’s summer blockbuster horror hit: “The Backrooms” to explore its clever symbolic use of Jungian archetypes and Eastern mysticism to create a cerebral and spooky allegory with the same narrative depth we find in masterpieces like Kubrick’s The Shining, Lynch’s Twin Peaks or Owaku’s Silent Hill 2 but with a retrowave drip that weaponizes nostalgia in a tour of the collective unconscious with obscure doorways straight into Buddhist hell. In the free side of the show we discuss Clark and the symbolism that haunts him, the Backrooms and his shadow; breaking down what it has to do with the infinite, changing and cyclical nature of the Backrooms itself. In the extended side of the show we discuss the Capn Carl, Tarot symbolism, the shadow of the retrowave aesthetic and how the Backrooms are a perfect allegory for the Bardos of the Tibetan Book of the Dead.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s show we finally take a glimpse at what psychonaught Danny Goller has been trying to tell us for years; that if you smoke enough DMT and stare at a diffused laser you can see the code of reality. After talking about how Danny figured it out, we discuss why such a strange idea might not only make sense but falls in line with cutting edge research and a long tradition in the West of combining cutting edge optics and spirit communication to advance our understanding of reality. We even get into how Danny says to do the experiment… which we do not endorse, condone or promote in any way because drugs are bad and I am not responsible for any damage you do to your eyes while on them. In the extended show we discuss what spirit conjuring wizards throughout history have a strangely concordant interest in the field of optics, the bizarrely specific experiences shared by participants and what kind of strange entities are most contacted while a user is on DMT. We discuss the Back Rooms, the City of Pyramids and the occult reason why the entities that reside there might be hideous clown creatures.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we are joined once again by Julian Soloninka, better yet known as Julian the Philosopher to discuss his provocative insights into Cyberpunk Metaphysics; which we discuss in its germinal stages under the inspired headspace of Alan Watts, Alduous Huxley and Gregory Bateson. In the first half of the episode we discuss the impact Alan Watts and Gregory Bateson had on cyberpunk and its corresponding philosophies while investigating the role they played as secret agents each with respective ties to three letter agencies before asking ourselves if we were to meet them on Homerian or Platonic footing. In the extended side of the show we continue our discussion with Julian and discuss prominent author, philosopher and psychonaught, Alduous Huxley; his connection to Jiddu Krishnamurti, the Death of Cleopatra and what it all has to do with Philip K. Dick’s theophany.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! On this week’s episode Tim Hacker leads us on a discussion of the occult powers of telepathy and clairvoyance as described by turn of the century new-thought pioneer William Walker Atkinson under his pseudonym Swami Panchadasi. Best known for his authorship of the Kybalion, Atkinson breaks down in plain English the straight dope concerning basic psychic ability from vague impressions or weird synchronicities we all have experienced right up into their fully evolved form as telepathic sense and even astral projection. In the free half of the show we discuss the difference between telepathy and clairvoyance, how it manifests, how to cultivate it, what its capable of achieving and the dodgy business of seeing the past by touching other people’s personal property. In this extended side of the show we discuss crystal gazing, scrying, the use of drugs in ritual, controlling psychic senses, creating psychic links and other things we’re not supposed to talk about in public.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! On this week’s episode we gather around the sacred fire and share stories and other initiated insights we find in and around Jacques Vallée’s UFOlogy classic; Passport to Magonia - a text which has proven too quixotic for weekend seekers of yesteryear but a poignantly apt launching point for a discussion that almost certainly is poised to be unleashed upon the public in the form of official UFO disclosure which, for all intents and purposes, will likely include official information regarding the biological occupants of these craft, where they come from, who they are and why we can expect for their very existence to bring into question ideas formerly reserved for mythology and religion. In the free side of the show we discuss how these revelations are going to soon come to pass before visiting the pyramid of Palenque, Saint Anthony on his journey through the Egyptian desert and taking a big bite out of an unsalted stack of pancakes brought to us by an alien from Wisconsin. In the extended show we weave together the spiritual and religious angle to explain edge cases with you like the grim fate of Snippy the horse, the tragedy of Gerry Irwin and what to expect if you’re a hard working peasant who's been chosen for an extra terrestrial breeding program which has dubious ideas about consent and are demanding to collect your DNA the old fashion way. Thank you and enjoy the show! In this week’s episode we discuss:-Trump Administration Disclosure-Pyramid of Inscriptions at Palenque-Saint Anthony’s Encounter with an Alien-Japanese and Chinese Celestial Omens-Medieval European UFOs-French Egg Shaped UFOs from the 50s-Fairies and Alien Pancakes of Wisconsin-Case of the Missing Fertilizer In the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we continue the discussion with:-Snippy the Horse-Farfadets and Hobits-Gerry Irwin’s Disappearance-Spirited Away by “The Good People”-Alien Sex with Antônio Vilas-Boas-Ludovico Maria Sinistrari’s Succubi-The Miracle of the Sun-The Foo Fighters and the Battle of Los Angeles This week’s episode was written by Tim Hacker and extensively deep fried in Luke’s kitchen.
