This episode is with an interview with David Asprey, part 1, titled “Bulletproof Coffee: Revisiting Fat and Health” and is being released on Sunday, May 26, 2013. This interview with Burt and Tom was recorded on Wednesday, May 20, 2013.

Dave uses a combination of nutrition, nervous system training, and anti-aging technologies to improve the performance of the human body and mind.
Dave Asprey is a Silicon Valley investor, biohacker, and entrepreneur who spent 15 years and $250,000 to hack his own biology. He upgraded his brain by more than 20 IQ points, lowered his biological age, and lost 100 lbs without using calories or exercise.
The Financial Times calls him a "bio-hacker who takes self-quantification to the extreme of self-experimentation."
His writing has been published by the New York Times and Fortune, and he's presented at Wharton, the University of California, and Singularity University.
Dave has been covered on video on CNN, ABC News, Nightline, Forbes, and MSNBC. In print, he's been featured in Men's Health, Forbes, Fast Company, the Los Angeles Times, and Vogue.
Dave's Bulletproof Executive blog was born out of a fifteen-year single-minded crusade to upgrade the human being using every available technology. It distills the knowledge of more than 120 world-class MDs, biochemists, Olympic nutritionists, meditation experts, and more than $250,000 spent on personal self-experiments.
From private brain EEG facilities hidden in a Canadian forest to remote monasteries in Tibet, from Silicon Valley to the Andes, high tech entrepreneur Dave Asprey used hacking techniques and tried everything himself, obsessively focused on discovering:
What are the simplest things you can do to be better at everything?
Knowing this leads to being bulletproof, the state of high performance where you take control of and improve your biochemistry, your body, and your mind so they work in unison, helping you execute at levels far beyond what you'd expect, without burning out, getting sick, or just acting like a stressed-out jerk. It used to take a lifetime to radically rewire the human body and mind this way. Technology has changed the rules.

Bullet Proof Coffee Recipe:
http://www.bulletproofexec.com/how-to-make-your-coffee-bulletproof-and-your-morning-too/

Bulletproof Coffee Recipe

Start with 4-500 ml (2 mugs) of black coffee brewed with my mold-free Upgraded Coffee beans. (Why this is important)
Add 2 Tbs (or more, up to 80 grams, about 2/3 of a standard stick of butter) of Kerry Gold or other UNSALTED grass-fed butter
Add 30 grams of MCT oil for max energy, weight loss and brain function (this is 6 times stronger than coconut oil, your next best choice)
Blend with a pre-heated hand blender, Magic Bullet, or (best) counter top blender until there is a creamy head of foam. (It doesn’t work well if you mix it with a spoon)

It’s really fast and easy to prepare. Realize salted coffee is a crime. Do not do this with salted butter. Bleah.

Kerrygold butter or another grass-fed brand of butter really matters because corn or soy-fed cows don’t make butter with the same fats. Those butters don’t blend well, don’t taste good, and don’t make you feel Bulletproof.

Grass-fed butter is much healthier than other butter. It doesn’t make cholesterol levels worse, it optimizes them! Starting your day with grass-fed butter will give you lots of energy and it will give your body healthy fats that it will use to make cell walls and hormones.

If you’re like most of my friends who try this, your body is so starved for healthy fats that you feel like you can’t get enough. It will take your body a week or two to fully turn on its fat digestion systems when you switch to a high healthy fat breakfast of Bulletproof coffee. If at first it is a little too rich, try using less butter at first and build up to the amount you like. Taking a betaine HCl or digestive enzyme supplement with your coffee will also help your body digest the butter.

Try this just once, with only 2 Tbs of butter, and have nothing else for breakfast. You will experience one of the best mornings of your life, with boundless energy and focus. It’s amazing.

After one drink of Bulletproof coffee, you’ll never be tempted to eat fat-free, insulin-raising, fat-storing toast and oatmeal breakfasts again!

P.S. If you benefit from this post, I’d really appreciate it if you tried my Upgraded Coffee beans. I created them for maximum mental performance and health, and they work, costing $2 more than Starbucks normal beans, and less than their “Reserve” coffee. The proceeds support the research that gets published on this site, and your brain really will notice the difference. Thank you.

P.S.S. Thanks for linking here if you write about Bulletproof Coffee! Bulletproof is a registered trademark for my small company. If you want to use it, just ask!

An Interview with The Joy Camp – “Gnostic Media’s Most Senseless Episode” – #165

My comedy interview with Kevin Kostelnik and Benny Wills of The JoyCamp.

This episode is with an interview with Freeman Burt and Dr. Tom, titled “Welcome to Voluntary Society – Day #01” and is being released on Saturday, April 27, 2013. This interview with Burt and Tom was recorded on Wednesday, April 17, 2013.

Dr. Tom psychologist by training. He worked extensively with the moral boundary problems of ministers and also with the contradictory interface between God's natural law (the Ten Commandments) and politicians' corporate and commercial codes; which are arbitrary statutes, some of which silence churches from assessing the morals of political candidates and public figures (e.g. 26 USC 501c3).

Dr. Tom from boundaries for effective ministry.org

Freeman Burt is a man who lives under the belief that all people are born free and that no one can be required to become someone's servant. He’s almost 50yrs old and has been studying the elements of freedom for about twenty years.
Most of his gain in comprehension came when he fully accepted the fact that all legal relations require our consent. From that point of view it became easier to accept the truth that the Legal Law is correct. He is not claiming it is right or moral, just that it is correct in its application.
The more time he spent reading the actual statutes, codes and ordinances and legal dictionaries, the more he’s learning that we are in fact free and that we volunteer into servitude. Freedom is a voyage with no predetermined destination, because such destination does not exist. As long as there are slaves in this world we ourselves can never be free.

The cover of the May 13, 1957 issue of Life (shown above) which features Wasson's article Seeking the Magic Mushroom [MKULTRA Subproject 58] used Bert Lahr to play off of the fact that he was the cowardly Lion in Wizard of Oz, a character who was drugged and fell asleep. The palm branches he peers through are symbols of the messiah's coming. Beneath the description of the Wasson article is one entitled 'Teen-Age Allowances' - a witticism predicting what they will 'allow' for the teenagers.

Clint Richardson is back for his 7th or 8th time.

A protégé of Walter Burian, Clint has been on previously to discuss his videos The Corporation Nation, Lethal Injection, and his investigation of my own local School District, CAFR SCHOOL: RIM of the World Unified School District Expose. Clint has what I consider the most important information out there today on our economy and how it actually functions.

A former Hollywood sound designer and musician, a crisis of conscious led him to begin researching, writing, and eventually producing primary research documentaries exposing the very research that Hollywood is designed to hide from the masses. Now unable to work in his industry of study (for this Hollywood betrayal), Clint applies his professional sound talent and newly learned video skills, as well as a devotion to first-hand, primary research and writing, to contribute to the “Waking Up” of the population at large. His credo… expose “them” until they dispose of him.

Episode 157

This episode is with an interview with Ian T. Taylor, titled “In the Minds of Men: Darwin and the New World Order” and is being released on Tuesday, Dec 18, 2012. This interview with Ian was was recorded today, December 18, 2012.

I should point out that Ian is a Christian, and we’ve decided to put our religious differences aside and focus on the research, so those of you familiar with the trivium, please don’t kill the messenger, don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. Ian is not the first Christian that we’ve had on the show, and we should know better than to dismiss all of his research due to his religious biases. Just sit back and listen to what Ian has to say, and how it overlaps with my own recent discoveries. Ian finished writing this book 28 years ago, and he’s 81 years old, so please forgive him where age has taken its toll. It is my opinion that Ian’s religious beliefs do cause a few unfortunate blind spots, that are covered extensively in my interviews with Joe Atwill – if you’d like more information there. However, these blindspots are easily overlooked for the wealth of valuable research that Ian has provided. So please hear him out, in full, including the 2 chapters from his book that we’ll be playing directly following my interview with him.

Ian was born in the UK and graduated with degrees in metallurgical engineering. He immigrated to Canada and spent nineteen years as research metallurgist with the Aluminum Company of Canada and obtained patents including a novel process for the manufacture of armor plate. He became a Christian in 1974, lost his position as metallurgist and joined David Mainse, Canada's TV evangelist. He became producer of 39 television programs of the "Crossroads" series including a 13-part TV episode exposing the fallacies of the theory of evolution. He wrote the book In the Minds of Men: Darwin and the New World Order in 1984. In 2008, the book was updated and expanded to 518 pages, and it is available from Creation Moments.
In 1996, at the invitation of Creation Moments Inc., Ian Taylor moved to Minneapolis and, working under the terms of NAFTA, became their president and the voice of their daily radio program, Creation Moments. After two years he returned to Canada and is still the voice of this popular radio program now heard daily on over 1300 stations in the US and others overseas. He continues to research and lecture and has traveled throughout North America, most of the South-East Asian countries including central China, Russia, the Balkan countries including the Crimea and many of the European countries and the UK.

This is our third video episode, so if you’re getting this in audio only, please go to the Gnostic Media website if you’d like to see the video version.

My apologies for the long delay in getting this episode out, we’ve been dealing with a lot of other issues, including the flu, which I’m just now getting over. We also had a serious learning curve to get this video the way we wanted it, and obviously there’s a lot more to learn. Please excuse the lighting as it wasn’t optimal and I couldn’t get Jay and Joe to change seats. There are a few other minor glitches that we’re learning to deal with as we progress and learn.

Joseph Atwill’s been on 3 times previous to this, and so he should be familiar to most of you. If he’s not, please hear his long introduction from one of his other interviews, as it’s too long to recap here, and he’s a familiar face. No offense, Joe. http://caesarsmessiah.com/blog/
--
After completing his doctorate in anthropology at the University of Michigan in 1985, Jay Fikes taught in several universities and wrote the biography of Reuben Snake (a Native American activist and spiritual leader) while lobbying to pass national legislation to protect the religious freedom of peyotists–some 300,000 members of the Native American Church. Since 1999 he has been a Professor of Social Anthropology at Yeditepe University in Istanbul, Turkey. In his latest book, Unknown Huichol: Shamans and Immortals, Allies against Chaos, Jay Fikes summarizes what he learned from four Huichol shamans during 34 years of ethnographic research, including participation in peyote rituals and making pilgrimages to contact their gods. He is now translating Huichol myths and songs recited in various rituals, preparing a biography of Jesús González (a shaman from Tuxpan) and writing a sequel to his expose; Carlos Castaneda, Academic Opportunism and the Psychedelic Sixties.

We’ve got new Gnostic Media book marks that have the fallacies on the back of them for each book order. We also plan to sell those individually to those interested. We’ll also be getting the first 4 years, rather than the first 3 years DVD out soon. My apologies for the delay on getting these items finished.

Furthermore, we have a new joint project that Joe and Jay and I are working on and we may as well use this episode to introduce the new project, and though it’s not fully up and running yet, you’re more than welcome to see what we’ve got going thus far. The new project is located at www.mindcontrolexposed.com. You’ll find a couple of my articles that you may have already seen up there, and you’ll find a brand new article by Joe up there, and much more to come, including this episode on mind control.

Why People Confess to Things They Didn't by Dr. Richard Ofshe

http://www.falseconfessions.org/experts/49-richard-ofshe

http://truthinjustice.org/ofshe-leo.pdf

A must hear talk by Lysander Spooner (read by Matt Prichard) on giving up your autonomy to the criminals during voting season. Spooner's article was written circa 1867.

This is the audio version of Chapter 01 from Will Durants Story of Philosophy - Plato. Understanding Plato is essential to understanding current social programs, eugenics, vegetarianism, and how they operate and how they're geared toward an elitist utopia.

WillDurant.com

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Durant

A video explaining my latest short article on "How Darwin, Huxley, and the Esalen Institute launched the 2012 and psychedelic revolutions -- and began one of the largest mind control operations in history."

This video is the first to reveal the background origins of the Esalen institute through Aldous and Julian Huxley, both grandson's of Charles Darwin's "Bulldog" Sir. Thomas Henry Huxley. The Huxleys helped found the Esalen institute to promote Julian Huxley's eugenics, humanism, transhumanism and feminism to manipulate middle class Americans into following their agenda through psychedelics and the new age movement.

This is not to say that psychedelics or entheogens don't have value, it just means that devious people have usurped them and created a false movement to fool people into thinking that they've completed their task of freeing their minds.

This video exposes one more bump in the road on our path to freedom and enlightenment.

Jan Irvin is an independent researcher, author and lecturer, speaking at both academic and public venues. He is the host of Gnostic Media and the curator of the official website for John Marco Allegro. Jan returns to discuss his latest research on Gordon Wasson, an influential New York banker and the godfather of the modern psychedelic movement. According to the historical record Wasson, an amateur mycologist, first ‘discovered’ ‘magic’ mushrooms. Irvin shares his evidence which points to the possibility of a secret history of the mushroom in the elite power structures of the west. Jan explains how the psychedelic/hippie movement was a psyop and can provide a window into how the elites run their mind control systems. He’ll talk about how the mushroom and other mind altering sacraments can be used to control the illumination of the masses. Jan questions the foundations of psychedelic history, the new age movement and UFOs.

Today for this controversial subject on feminism, I’m joined by my girlfriend Sarah who acts as co-host.

This episode is an interview with Karen, Host of GirlWritesWhat, titled “The Feminist Fallacy” and is being released on Friday, July 20, 2012. My interview with Karen was recorded on Tuesday, July 17, 2012.

GirlWritesWhat is a divorced mother of three, university drop out, and author of erotica who also writes and vlogs about gender issues. She considers herself both anti-feminist and anti-traditional, and has characterized feminism as "paternalism in lipstick". She describes her philosophy as the radical notion that women are adults.

This episode is a presentation given by me, my first solo show, titled “Magic Mushrooms and the Psychedelic Revolution: Beginning a New History” – or “The Secret History of Magic Mushrooms” and is being released on Sunday, May 13, 2012.

Today is the 55^th anniversary since the publication of the May 13, 1957, Life magazine article, Seeking the Magic Mushroom, published by Gordon Wasson, which is what is largely considered to have launched the psychedelic revolution.

Today we’re going to toss out the last 55 years of academic history regarding the discovery of magic mushrooms, the beginnings of the field of ethnomycology, and this major event in launching the psychedelic revolution; and we’re going to start a new history – one based on truth and verifyable facts rather than legends and myths.

Six years in the making, this episode exposes one of the largest coverups in modern academic history – something that may one day be as large as the Piltdown Hoax. We’re going to reveal how the psychedelic revolution was launched by the CFR, CIA and the elite, and how R. Gordon Wasson, the so called discoverer of magic mushrooms, and the founder of the field of ethnomycology, was himself a government asset, a friend of Edward Bernays – the father of propaganda, and is one of the key figures for launching one of the largest mind control operations in history – information never before revealed until today. And it doesn’t stop there. I’m going to provide information that shows how R. Gordon Wasson may have been one of the key players in the organization of the JFK assassination.

The entire transcript of this show is posted for download on the page to this episode on the Gnostic Media website so that you can follow along. Also included in the transcript are 70 endnotes leading to the evidence presented herein.

This episode is an interview with Gene Odening, pt. 4 titled “Beyond the Trivium” and is being released on Sunday, January 08, 2012. My interview with Gene was recorded on Saturday, January 07, 2012.

Happy New Year, everyone, we’ve made it to 2012, and Terence McKenna’s end of the world is soon upon us, or so we’re to believe.

But today I’ve got someone very special for you, someone who’ll help you see through all of the bullshit. Today, for our episode #133, the long awaited Gene Odening is back to teach us about what lies beyond the trivium. We’ll be discussing the difference between Plato and Aristotelian philosophy, as well as teaching the trivium to children.

This is the story of the 3 successive stages of the “Philosophic Life” which almost all of us live. Some of us live it consciously, others, not so much.
Gene’s story is one of good fortune. Early in adolescence he was given the tools to recognize and to pursue the Philosophic Life, which he undertook to do, not as a vocation but as a serious hobbyist. This is part of what the talk is about, defining those tools and following time-tested ways of applying them.
Gene lived through the first part, the Stage of Preparing For Life, in a fashion which the ancient Vedic Sages called: “Learning by grazing through the fields of the Brahma (the Creator God), in sobriety, and with a guru”. He even had his own guru! He graduated from this stage in a less than sober state. At age 18 . . . He ingested the Eucharist in fact, rather than only in effigy, and had his Crown Chakra opened.
When he was 20 years old, he began the second part, the Stage of Receiving From Life. This is when he began his vocational career and started his family life. Life was good. He and his wife traveled many parts of the English speaking world scouring the libraries in particular; she reading her beloved fiction; he in the reference and antiquarian sections. His quest was to find out what Money was. Money is a very elusive thing. As ghostly as it is, it takes up much of our life’s time and energy. By happenstance, in pursuit of its secrets, almost all other known topics come into view for a closer examination, including Philosophy, a treasure beyond measure.
As he reached the age of about 56, he had the realization that he was now in the final stage, the Stage of Giving Back To Life. This is when one should properly become the elder advisor, not ‘offering’ advise, but giving of it freely when asked. It is also the time of beginning one’s journey through mentality. This is the time of: “Examining a life which has been worth living”, as the Greek sage Socrates counceled.

Today John Taylor Gatto is back for this long awaited part 3 interview with me, and we’ll be discussing the true definition of liberal, the CFR, Prof. Carroll Quigley, Prof. Antony Sutton, Douglass Reed, Edward Bernays, Charlotte Iserbyt, The Great Books of the Western World, and the state of compulsory education.

As a prerequisite to this interview, you may wish to go back and hear my two previous interviews with Gatto, episodes #68 and 69 – which are packed full of information, as well as episodes #49 and 50 with Gene Odening on the trivium and quadrivium.

John Taylor Gatto – probably the most famous school teacher in the world, and he was New York State teacher of the year when he quit on the OP Ed page of the Wall Street Journal in 1991. John climaxed his teaching career as New York State Teacher of the Year after being named New York City Teacher of the Year on three occasions. He quit teaching on the OP ED page of the Wall Street Journal in 1991 while still New York State Teacher of the Year, claiming that he was no longer willing to hurt children. Later that year he was the subject of a show at Carnegie Hall called “An Evening With John Taylor Gatto,” which launched a career of public speaking in the area of school reform, which has taken Gatto over a million and a half miles in all fifty states and seven foreign countries. In 1992, he was named Secretary of Education in the Libertarian Party’s Shadow Cabinet, and he has been included in Who’s Who in America from 1996 on. In 1997, he was given the Alexis de Tocqueville Award for his contributions to the cause of liberty, and was named to the Board of Advisors of the National TV-Turnoff Week.

Today we continue our interview with David Harriman in this explosive two parter. Quantum theory, the big bang, String theory, what’s real and what’s based on Kantian delusions – or Kant-tradictions?

David Harriman earned his Master’s degree in physics from University of Maryland, and his Master’s in philosophy from Claremont Graduate University. He has worked as an applied physicist and he is editor of Journals of Ayn Rand. His book, The Logical Leap: Induction in Physics, presents Leonard Peikoff’s theory of induction as it applies to the physical sciences. Recently, he has co-founded Falling Apple Science Institute (with Tom VanDamme), a nonprofit that is developing a unique science curriculum based on the inductive method.

SCOTT A. OLSEN, Ph.D. Professor of Philosophy & Religion at the College of Central Florida, Scott first received international acclaim by successfully decoding the geometric mysteries of Plato. His book, The Golden Section: Nature’s Greatest Secret received rave reviews, and in 2007 was awarded a 1st place for design by the Bookbinders’ Guild of New York. A life-long student of the Ancient Wisdom, he has studied under physicist David Bohm, world religion expert Huston Smith, sacred geometers Keith Critchlow & John Michell, and esotericist Douglas Baker. A member of the Theosophical Society in America, Scott lectures widely on the Perennial Philosophy (in both its ancient and modern forms) with special emphasis on the Divine Proportion and transformative states of consciousness. In 2009 he assisted Alexey Stakhov with his highly acclaimed book, The Mathematics of Harmony: From Euclid to Contemporary Mathematics and Computer Science. Today he is working on his new book, Divine Proportion: the Mathematical Perfection of the Universe, due out in the Spring of 2012. Scott will be giving a lecture and workshops in New York in May on Nature’s Divine Proportion and the Canon of the Human Body. Then in June he will travel to the Bibiotheca Alexandrina, Egypt where he will present a workshop on The Philosopher Mathematicians of Alexandria: Euclid and Hypatia for the New York Open Center’s “Esoteric Quest for Ancient Alexandria: Greco-Egyptian Birthplace of the Western Mind.” Applying his knowledge of proportional symmetry in physique competition, Scott won 1st place as Mr. Minneapolis, Mr. Twin Cities, Mr. Gainesville, Mr. Northeast Florida, and the prestigious New York open title, Mr. Apollo.

This show is being released on Friday, March 15, 2010. Part 2 of my interview with John Taylor Gatto was recorded on February 24, 2010. Today we continue learning the significance behind Pink Floyd’s song Another Brick in the Wall, part 2, and how utterly fubar our public education system is in our second interview with John Taylor Gatto. We continue with some important questions: Is there a relationship between eugenics, mind control and compulsory education? Is compulsory education good for anyone and what are the negative effects of our “modern” education system? Where did our education system originate, and by whom? What’s happened to our educational system since the 1800s? Has there been an intentional effort by the elites and government to dumb us down? What do compulsory education and Pavlov’s dogs have in common? Are children better off working, or being in school?

This show is being released on Friday, March 05, 2010. My interview with John Taylor Gatto was recorded on February 23, 2010. I simply could not wait to share this interview with all of you, it’s just too important, and I just have to share, so I’m releasing it 3 days early. So it’s like Christmas in spring, but without the mushrooms. Today we’re going to learn the significance behind Pink Floyd’s song Another Brick in the Wall part 2. We ask some important questions: Is there a relationship between eugenics, mind control and compulsory education? Is compulsory education good for anyone and what are the negative effects of our “modern” education system? Where did our education system originate, and by whom? What’s happened to our educational system since the 1800s? Has there been an intentional effort by the elites and government to dumb us down? What do compulsory education and Pavlov’s dogs have in common? Are children better off working, or being in school? To answer these questions, we first have to reach the foundation of our education system. Continuing our education on the Trivium method, this is one of the most important and powerful interviews to date, and my guest for this week and next is John Taylor Gatto – probably the most famous school teacher in the world, and he was New York State teacher of the year when he quit on the OP Ed page of the Wall Street Journal in 1991. John Taylor Gatto climaxed his teaching career as New York State Teacher of the Year after being named New York City Teacher of the Year on three occasions. He quit teaching on the OP ED page of the Wall Street Journal in 1991 while still New York State Teacher of the Year, claiming that he was no longer willing to hurt children. Later that year he was the subject of a show at Carnegie Hall called “An Evening With John Taylor Gatto,” which launched a career of public speaking in the area of school reform, which has taken Gatto over a million and a half miles in all fifty states and seven foreign countries. In 1992, he was named Secretary of Education in the Libertarian Party’s Shadow Cabinet, and he has been included in Who’s Who in America from 1996 on. In 1997, he was given the Alexis de Tocqueville Award for his contributions to the cause of liberty, and was named to the Board of Advisors of the National TV-Turnoff Week.

This show is being released on Monday, January 31, 2010. My interview with Michael Labossiere was recorded on January 29, 2010. Today we continue our series with Dr. Michael Labossiere on general grammar and the subject and the predicate.

Link to this episode on Gnostic Media:
http://www.gnosticmedia.com/dr-michael-labossiere-interview-general-grammar-subject-and-predicate-part-2-063/

What would happen if everyone in society received an immunization against all of today’s media and political propaganda? Is there a simple, logical process to arm ourselves against such attempts at mind manipulation and control? What if you had the ability to quickly and easily break down words and sentences to identify lies and untruths and propaganda? What do grammar and rhetoric have to do with logic and critical thinking, or, for that matter, marketing, PR and propaganda spin, and more importantly, exactly how can they help you? If someone presents evidence of a claim, do you have a mental duty to study it before you attack it? How can we make our minds sharper? Is it possible to level the playing field against corporate and government propaganda by creating a critical thinking meme? Today we launch the critical thinking meme into society and I ask for your help to spread it, to share today’s talk with all you know: friends, co-workers, family, business associates and school mates. If you want to help make an immediate change in your own and other people’s lives for the better, today’s show is one of the primary ways to do it. We’re going to continue our study of the trivium with Dr. Michael Labossiere who is here to discuss logical fallacies. Micheal will be back in the next week or two to also discuss the subject and predicate. This show is being released on Monday, January 25, 2010. My interview with Michael Labossiere was recorded on January 09, 2010. Michael LaBossiere is a guy from Maine who went to school in Ohio and ended up in Florida. Professionally he is a philosophy professor at Florida A&M University. He started teaching there in the Fall of 1993 and greatly enjoy his choice of careers. He teaches a wide variety of classes that range from Aesthetics (theories of art and beauty) to Theory of Knowledge. His first philosophy book, What Don’t You Know? hit the shelves in the spring of 2008. He also blogs for The Philosophers’ Magazine and has numerous academic publications. In addition to his love of wisdom, he has a great love of running. Michael started running at the age of fifteen. He tried out for the basketball team, but sucked badly. The coach told him that the track team had to take anyone and suggested that he become a runner. It turned out to be a great choice. He ran in high school and then ran in college. He kept running in grad school and still runs today, mostly to combat the effects of pie consumption. He is a member of the Gulf Winds Track Club, the local running club in Tallahassee. Michael also enjoys the martial arts, specifically tae kwon do. He started training in grad school at Ohio State and still practices today. He enjoys the physical and mental training. Plus, hitting a punching bag is a great way to burn off stress. It also makes it possible to survive committee meetings. He started gaming (Dungeons & Dragons) when he was 15 and fell in love with the idea of creating worlds and stories and ended up writing professionally for several game companies. Yes, gaming is for nerds- he freely accept his nerdtastic ways. He also enjoys computer and console gaming. Despite playing far too much World of Warcraft, he claims he is not obsessed with games and alleges that reality is still much better than virtual reality. He is very fond of animals and has two cats (Ash & Zax) and a hyper husky (Isis).

Gnostic Media’s 1 Year anniversary show!

Tonight’s show is an important one. Without it, it’s hard to build on the information presented in the other shows. Here we begin to learn about learning, logic, critical thinking, Hegelian dialectics, Plato, the Trivium, the Quadrivium, the 7 liberal arts, and many other facets of human cognizance.

My guest is Gene Odening.
This is the story of the 3 successive stages of the “Philosophic Life” which almost all of us live. Some of us live it consciously, others, not so much.
Gene’s story is one of good fortune. Early in adolescence he was given the tools to recognize and to pursue the Philosophic Life, which he undertook to do, not as a vocation but as a serious hobbyist. This is part of what the talk is about, defining those tools and following time-tested ways of applying them.
Gene lived through the first part, the Stage of Preparing For Life, in a fashion which the ancient Vedic Sages called: “Learning by grazing through the fields of the Brahma (the Creator God), in sobriety, and with a guru”. He even had his own guru! He graduated from this stage in a less than sober state. At age 18 . . . He ingested the Eucharist in fact, rather than only in effigy, and had his Crown Chakra opened. That is, he had his mind blown on large doses of LSD.
When he was 20 years old, he began the second part, the Stage of Receiving From Life. This is when he began his vocational career and started his family life. Life was good. He and his wife traveled many parts of the English speaking world scouring the libraries in particular; she reading her beloved fiction; he in the reference and antiquarian sections. His quest was to find out what Money was. Money is a very elusive thing. As ghostly as it is, it takes up much of our life’s time and energy. By happenstance, in pursuit of its secrets, almost all other known topics come into view for a closer examination, including Philosophy, a treasure beyond measure.
As he reached the age of about 56, he had the realization that he was now in the final stage, the Stage of Giving Back To Life. This is when one should properly become the elder advisor, not ‘offering’ advise, but giving of it freely when asked. It is also the time of beginning one’s journey through mentality. This is the time of: “Examining a life which has been worth living”, as the Greek sage Socrates counceled.
