My friend Kasem joins for a tender, deeply personal conversation about his lifelong dance with the mystic. From a childhood rooted in the Missionary Baptist church to his last 13 years as a practicing buddhist, Kasem has been following the radical meme of self-discovery. We talk about everything from putting Jesus back in context and learning to examine the nature of reality, to the “double dutch” of code switching and navigating the American Dream as the child of immigrants.

It’s been a big time of reflection and setting new direction. Welcome to Phil’s big, beautiful world. You're part of the family now.

Ep 89: Looking at the Hollow Within w Chase Bauer
My dear friend Chase Bauer returns to the podcast with a deeply personal exploration of the nature of mind. In telling the story of a recent psychedelic ceremony, Chase reveals how a constellation of wisdom including nonviolent communication (NVC), guru yoga, and the witness of LSD helped him understand his relationship to addiction in a radically new way. Along the way we contemplate cults and spiritual abuse, whiteness, codependence, the value and limitations of constructing mental models, and doing whippets in your 30s.
Watch Chase’s short films Calling For Home Care and Pleasant Valley Black and Blue (https://vimeo.com/449899198) and connect with him on IG @cosminomena. More podcasts at MauraJames.com (http://MauraJames.com) and IG @maurajames.
