C-Realm Podcast "C" stands for consciousness Episode 67: The Shift In this installment of the C-Realm Podcast, KMO speaks with Nate Hagens of theOilDrum.com about the various fantasies for replacing fossil fuels with bio-fuels, synthetic fuels, or anything else that will supposedly take up the slack when global oil production peaks and keep our first world of happy motorists shuttling great distances everyday in their shiny metal boxes. Later KMO speaks with Yasmeen Grant about the new CBC radio documentary, " In Search of the Divine Vegetal," and finally we hear from fellow podcaster, Lorenzo, about how sudden disruptions to business as usual can effect an instantaneous change in consciousness that evaporates the ethnic, economic, and ideological barriers that divide our communities. One might be tempted to think of the CBC as Canada's version of NPR, but unlike NPR, they don't seem to keep an archive of their shows on-line for folks to stream or download. They only seem to sell their old programs on CD. You can listen to the entire program for free here: Part 1: http://www.sendspace.com/file/5pnemo Part 2: http://www.sendspace.com/file/aoikicC-Realm Listener Veeg has pointed out another podcast that actually features excerpts from the CBC radio segment on Search for the Divine Vegetal. You can find that podcast here: http://www.drugtruth.net/007DTNaudio/COL_120407.mp3 You can find the full text of the material from Richard Heinberg that I used to introduce Nate Hagens here: http://globalpublicmedia.com/richard_heinbergs_museletter_peak_everythingCheck back tomorrow for the extended interview with Yasmeen Grant.

C-Realm Podcast "C" stands for consciousness Episode 57: The Curandero's Apprentice KMO interviews Chip "Carlos" Tanner, a gringo apprenticing under a Peruvian curandero and explores the spirit realm with Wendy Luckey, with whom he participated in a San Pedro ceremony in Iquitos in July of 2007. Ever wondered why KMO bleeps out the profanity? KMO explains all and provides audio glimpses into two very different ayahuasca ceremonies. To introduce Wendy Luckey on the program, I read from the first paragraph of her Amazonian Shamanism Conference bio. You can find the rest of that bio here: http://www.soga-del-alma.org/ConferenceSite/curanderos_wendy.htmland here: http://www.wendyluckey.com/And Carlos Tanner, who also spoke at the conference, has a bio here: http://www.soga-del-alma.org/ConferenceSite/guests_carlos.htmland here: http://www.ayahuayra.org/WSC/MainWSC.htm
In connection with bleeping profanity, I mentioned an episode of Fresh Air with Terry Gross that I heard "a few months ago." Well, I just tracked it down, and it turns out that the show is four years old! Wow. Anyway, here it is: http://www.npr.org/templates/rundowns/rundown.php?prgId=13&prgDate=20-Nov-2003Tags: ayahuasca, profanity, spirit Current Music: Somptin' Happnin'

C-Realm Podcast "C" stands for consciousness Episode 52: Creatures of Imagination In this 52nd episode, KMO speaks with film-maker Michelle Espinosa about her adventures in Peru and Ecuador. Later we hear from visionary artist A. Andrew Gonzalez about his use of entheogens as tools in the creative process. After our interview, A. Andrew Gonzalez wrote to me with the following: Forgot to mention....Something you could add For your listeners heading out to Burning Man. I will have a few large reproductions of my work at the Gaia Maitreya Temple at the Entheon Village http://www.entheonvillage.com/content/view/27/40/
Guests: Michelle Espinosa is a writer/filmmaker from Los Angeles. She graduated from the American Film Institute, received the Silver Platter at the Chicago Film Festival for her film, Pinfeathers, wrote and directed a series of small films as well as a play for the New City Theater in Seattle. After graduating and optioning a few screenplays, Michelle began writing fiction. She took time out from her career to steal a younger man through the window of his family's house, flee to Las Vegas to marry at a drive through and begin an outlaw life that landed them in a motel in a border town in Mexico with the car thieves, hired killers, coke dealers among other residents. They lived there for almost a year until finally able to move to Guadalajara. That was only the beginning of her many adventures all of which are captured in her stories. She has written a novel and is currently writing a non-fiction book about her experiences in Peru and Ecuador. 
A. Andrew Gonzalez, of San Antonio, Texas, is an award-winning figurative artist whose work has been exhibited in several countries. Born on October 13, 1963, and raised in a creative family, Andrew's art education is largely self-taught. His artist father, Anthony A. Gonzalez, encouraged his early interest in drawing and painting but gave him no formal training. In the year 2000, Andrew Gonzalez had the distinct privilege to work closely with the well-known Fantastic Realist artist Ernst Fuchs in Monaco and Austria. Photos of the experience can be seen at L. Caruana's website. The paintings of Gonzalez are created with airbrushed acrylics on panel or canvas. Forms, values and highlighting are created by lifting pigment with an abrasive eraser, followed by the application of transparent layers of pigment. Influenced by idealism in the mystical, visionary and esoteric traditions, the artist describes his work as a contemporary Tantric or Transfigurative Art that explores the dramatic union of the sensual and spiritual. His work is akin to a revival of classical neoplatonic ideals centering on the figure as temple and vessel sublimed by transformative forces. http://www.sublimatrix.com/html/gallery.htmlOne contributor to this week's podcast mentioned that he had just started reading Accelerondo by Charles Stross. You can download the entire novel for free here: http://www.accelerando.org/book/( Big Art behind the cut tag: CLICK HERE )Tags: ayahuasca, creativity, visionary art Current Location: The Frog House
