It was a visit from a friend and the passionate fandom foaming in the wake of author Philip K. Dick that gifted me the opportunity to meet today’s guest, Jeff Laprade. Jeff is an engineer, a poet, a writer, and a thinker working on what I can only describe as magic with magnetism. While he isn’t able to tell us what he does, where he does it, or for whom he does whatever it is he gets paid to do, he does share intriguing insights into science and the absolute mystery of magnetism. I’m happy to bring you more audio evidence of just how little I know about the physical world by introducing you to someone who knows a great deal more about almost everything.

Ohh man...how fortunate are we to live in the same world as today's guest, Erik Lomen. First of all, I only got to meet Erik because of serendipitous timing, bad weather in Cheyenne, WY, a not-to-be-missed Boston Celtics game, my propensity to arrive early for meals, my preference for eating at the bar, and a chance encounter with Erik's delightful and interesting mom, Marcy. Based solely on her hardly disinterested say-so, I drove to Gardiner Maine to spend the day with one of our new favorite people. Erik is the host of "The Myco Wizards Podcast", and founder and brainchild behind the wildly innovative Maine Cap 'N Stem - a supplier of spore-ready substrate for cultivators of mushrooms from Lion's Mane to Penis Envy. This is NOT a stoner, freaky mushroom weirdo episode...well, it is, but it's also much more. Erik is a deeply thoughtful, battle-tested polymath with a heart of red oak; perfect for taking mycelium to all its favorite places. Tune in for a particularly interesting ride.

Where there is water there is life. This is about hope in a ‘hopeless’ place. At the shore of a dying sea, what can be done?Hope is something that we extend before us, it is a brave anticipation. Balanced between an awareness of the present and an idea of a possible future, it is a kind of double vision. Akasha is gentle yet defiant, reaching and delving – an unfolding potential, a vision of the possible.A lure cast to the beyond – to the unfolding depths of sky and earth.Situated in an area where water once was, its form echoes the flows that have shaped landscapes which to us now appear dry. Akasha calls out to our innate belonging and participation in the processes which animate the world, reawakening our awareness of the continuity between all things — reminding us that it is to the expanse that our souls belong.

Enjoy this special cross-promotional episode of "The Raised By Whoops Fake Radio Show"This episode features original music written and performed by Alexis Angelucci and two dreams submitted by friends of the show.Send in your dreams to [email protected] are dreams?  According to Shakespeare, they are the very stuff we are made of. To Joseph Campbell, a dream is a personalized myth—and a myth a depersonalized dream. Both communicate in the same way, through a story, through imagery, which some may deem as the realm of pure fantasy but which is, in fact, more real and truer than true than many may care to admit. However, dreams and myths are not literal—and in a time when people are literally obsessed with literalism, it’s only too easy to shrug them off as meaningless junk. It’s just the brain’s way of processing what happened during the day and nothing else. But dreams are more than that—they are a subterranean mycelial network of connections, the deep underground roots we don’t see on the surface in the light of day but that give us all the nutrients we need to survive. Whether we remember them or not, they are providing us with much-needed sustenance and repair. But when we do remember them and pay them the respect and attention they deserve, something remarkable begins to happen. We are bringing some of those deep dark depths to light, which in turn means bringing ourselves more fully to life. It is a blossoming. A dream has very personal connotations but can also hold deep meaning for another. Many of us have similar recurring themes and experiences. In sharing them, we honor their existence, and can spark a remembering in another person. In a time of extreme disconnect, I believe this remembering is one of the most important things in the world. But not only that, sharing dreams is a lot of fun. Because, who writes this stuff anyway? That is the very reason for this segment, just the sheer joy of sharing dreams. We are not trying to pin anything down through interpretation or analysis, just appreciating the masterful art of the mysterious dreamweaver at work. Dreams in this Episode Provided ByBrendan Couch-Smith - Photographer, Artist, and Andrew's Nephew (not an easy task) - https://maxmalcolms.wordpress.com/2021/09/08/682/&Kristen Kadi - [email protected] - psychic readings - Animal Communications - HypnotherapyLinkAlexis on the Show Hosted on Acast.
