Artist Dax Martinez-Vargas uses his new prog. rock activist concept album as a foundation for insightful conversations about our culture and the policies and art that shape it all in an effort to help get humans on the same page globally.
David Michael joins Halusanation to discuss his spiritual journey and how, after a twenty-year departure from Catholicism, his first dose of psilocybin redirected him onto a spiritual path—albeit in a radically new direction full of spiritual discoveries.

Another update episode where I give an update on the backyard opposums and connect some books together to help you set your expectations until 2033.
The books spoken about are "The Fourth Turning" by William Strauss and Neil Howe, "The Fourth Turning is Here" by Neil Howe, "The Storm before the Calm" by George Friedman, "The End of the World is Just Beginning" by Peter Zeihan, "Why We're Polarized" by Ezra Klein and Charles Eisenstein's "Climate: A New Narrative".
PlainScribe summary of some of what I talk about is... "....the limited power of presidents due to the constitutional constraints. The founding fathers intended for the president to have less power than a king, but the office has gained a king-like quality over time. The conversation touches on the idea that presidents are more like road signs indicating the direction the country is going. It also mentions the concept of cycles, including the 80-90 year generational cycle and the socioeconomic cycle, and how they may lead to chaos and tragedy in America. The transcript references the books "The 4th Turning" by Neil Howe and "The End of the World is Just the Beginning" by Peter Zeihan, which discuss predictions about the future of the country and the global supply chain. The speaker suggests that regardless of who is in power, these cycles will continue, and it is important to find alternative ways to bring about change and revolution. The importance of qualities such as slowing down, joy, play, and sensuality in sparking a successful revolution is also highlighted.

Possum Kingdom (Copernicus Episode Addendum)
I finish the story of the possums from the previous episode and explain what's ahead for the podcast, including my new lean edit-free approach so listeners can have more useful content vs 1 to 2 episodes a year. I explain how the goal is to work more in the present to connect with eros & heart & community instead of how I've usually worked focused on the future, locked in my head, not really enjoying how long it takes to do anything.
Sponsored by the 2020 album Halusanation.

Utilizing yoga and meditation, and a new diet, Chad was able to find a new side to himself.

Do it for Ous
Ousman Sanyang, 18 years old, from Gambia, West Africa, shares his story about his struggle in Gambia since his father died 3 years ago in a timber harvesting accident, leaving Ousman as the man of the house hold with a mother with Parkinson's & 5 younger siblings, one of which now has Maleria. Dax's goal is to make listeners aware of how they can help Ousman with a GoFundMe campaign.
Now, with the owner of Ousman's house wanting Ousman and his family out by , after the rainy season, which is before Oct. 15th, they'll need to find a new place to go. But without a bread winner, it would be more ideal to finally own their own land, where they wouldn't have to be hit with the monthly bills & so they could grow their food.
The goal is to raise $9,320. This amount would go toward helping Ousman's family buy land, build a house, put food on the table as well as provide much needed clothes and medicine. His GoFundMe page is www.gofundme.com/f/ousmanofgambia.
To follow Ousman and give him any words of morale boosting or advice, please visit his Instagram account at "Ous_from_Gambia".
