THE MEDIUM

Estelle Pettican is a Deep-Trance Medium.  She was 22, at a house party when a woman approached her with a piece of paper with the address of the house party, the exact time and date, what she would be wearing and her full name. The woman said that she had flown from another country, with this piece of information, to find her, because Estelle's life was about to change.

The Power of Close-Knit Communities: for Happiness, Belonging, and Keeping Romance Fresh.

Ivor interviews Steve who talks about the ingenious techniques he has developed to keep his romantic relationship fresh. Steve then talks about how he has managed to develop a close-knit community of a few hundred people in his city. Ivor believes that us humans have bought into the "happy ever after" paradigm- through observing our own parents (or caregiver).  He believes the need to find the "perfect partner" leads them to push themselves towards success over friendships, which ultimately leads to disillusionment, break-ups, and divorce, and that one person can never fulfil what a whole community can give. Ivor talks about his own struggles with overcoming this "fake" story in his head, how his mind tricked him (even since this podcast was recorded) to favour success over relationships. The book he references is "Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality" by Christopher  Ryan and his wife, and Cacilda Jethá.

Mindbending Chapter 7: The QUEST!

So many truths began to reveal themselves to me once I started healing- that there is a SUBCONSCIOUS PUNISHMENT MECHANISM programmed into the brain, from hundreds of thousands of years of evolution. This has been discovered by researchers in the United States in 2010, and confirmed in a subsequent study in Spain in 2020. The Anterior Cingulate Cortex (not Gyrus like I say in the podcast), a golf-ball size part of the brain becomes impaired in less ethical people. This cortex is directly responsible for alerting you when you are about to make a bad decision. Bad decisions, repeatedly made over months and then years lead your life to hell. I realized that the Biblical texts were not a means of control, but a helping mechanism, stories compiled from thousands of years of observation- of people that went down certain pathways, where things started going terribly wrong with them. (I am not ruling out that people at that time could write the Word of God either). My quest since then, has been to discover how these powerful, mind-bending occurences could be reproduced, shown, and eventually taught to others. The easy way.
