Chris Bache takes us on a journey exploring what he calls the Diamond Light and the Diamond Soul. He writes, “Light has always been recognized as a signature of the Divine. It is a universal constant in our spiritual traditions—a vast radiance fusing all knowledge, love, and power. Mystics attest to it; those who have nearly died attest to it.” When his journey took him deeper into an exquisite, seamless Field of Light, he explained how the light completely saturated his life: “The Light penetrated every cell of my being and all the earthly forms around me. We all breathed this Light. We are this Light. All our experience is seamless Light.” Join us in this riveting conversation and learn about the Diamond Soul.
ABOUT OUR GUEST:
Chris Bache, Ph.D. has spent his life moving between the worlds of academia and psychedelic exploration. Trained as a philosopher of religion at Brown University, he became convinced early in his career that psychedelics represented a revolution not only in clinical psychology but in philosophy as well. By giving us systematic access to dimensions of consciousness that lie beyond space-time reality, these sacraments are triggering a turning point in western thought and driving the emergence of a new academic discipline – psychedelic philosophy.
Accordingly, between 1979 and 1999, he did 73 therapeutically structured, high-dose LSD sessions following a strict protocol. He pushed his psychedelic practice beyond therapeutic healing and spiritual awakening to explore the deep structure of the universe itself. He then spent another 20 years digesting his experiences before publishing LSD and the Mind of the Universe. Chris’ journey moved him often beyond linear time into Deep Time, beyond personal transformation into the arc of humanity’s collective transformation, giving him prophetic visions of an emerging global crisis and the imminent birth of a radically transformed Future Human.
Chris is professor emeritus in the department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Youngstown State University in Ohio where he taught for 33 years. He is also adjunct faculty at the California Institute of Integral Studies, Emeritus Fellow at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and on the Advisory Council of Grof Legacy Training. An award-winning teacher and international speaker, he has written four books: Lifecycles - a study of reincarnation in light of contemporary consciousness research; Dark Night, Early Dawn - a pioneering work in psychedelic philosophy and collective consciousness; The Living Classroom, an exploration of collective fields of consciousness in teaching; and LSD and the Mind of the Universe, the story of his 20-year journey with LSD. He lives in Weaverville, NC, with his wife Christina Hardy, a professional astrologer and past-life therapist. His website is chrisbache.com

What does the Universe want us to know and what are we capable of knowing? These questions are the crux of this first conversation in a series of three with author Chris Bache. He writes, “When the shell of the private mind dissolves, experience opens to a landscape so vast it’s hard to find the right words to describe it—the Mind of the Universe, the Cosmic Mind, the Great Expanse. One falls into it, explodes into it, melts into it, sometimes cataclysmically, sometimes so gently it feels like the most natural thing in the world.” In this episode we explore all things “future human” as we seek to understand the mind of the Universe.

A letter from our guest, Dr. Elisabet Sahtouris, to her granddaughter Isabel, in the afterword of the book, Our Moment of Choice was moving and poignant. There was one phrase that created a simple, yet powerful, prescription for navigating our world in crises. Using evolution biology and her deep wisdom, she encouraged Isabel to, “navigate through crises to build caring communities for all life.” That phrase has inspired evolutionary leaders from all over the world to get in touch with their own personal relationship with our conscious, living planet. Sahtouris joins us for an important conversation about The Story of Gaia.

In these times of transition—"the dawning of a new sun”—the ancestors are here working hard to maintain balance and harmony in the world. Ancestors mean more than simply generations of ancestors who have come before us. Humanity is the youngest of all our ancestors. What does this mean? Author, Mindahi Bastida, explains, “We are not alone, and we have never been alone. Our ancestors are speaking to us, watching us, and guiding us. When you go to a place where you really feel that connection, you need to follow your feelings and let that connection unfold. You can then receive what is meant to be received by your body, your soul, and your spirit.” Join us with Bastida, and integrative family physician, Dr. Joe Tafur, and we explore Ancestors, and what they teach us about humanity, our future, and our potential. 
ABOUT OUR GUESTS:
MINDAHI BASTIDA is the author of ANCESTORS: Divine Remembrances of Lineage, Relations and Sacred Sites, a book in the Common Sentience series.

He is also deeply involved with the Biocultural Sacred Sites for Humanity, Original Peoples proposal, UNESCO, the Timekeepers Program and the Process of Unification in charge of the Latin American and the Caribbean region. Mindahi is also President of the Mexico Council of Sustainable Development, a member of the Steering Committee of the Indigenous Peoples’ Biocultural Climate Change Assessment Initiative, and he has served as a delegate to several commissions and summits on Indigenous rights and the environment.
JOE TAFUR MD’s interest in complementary and alternative approaches to health management took root in 1997, at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine. It deepened during medical school at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), continued during his Family Medicine residency at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and has become the primary focus of his medical career.
After his residency, Dr. Tafur completed a two-year Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship at the UCSD Department of Psychiatry. While working as a Family Physician in the U.S., he began exploring indigenous medicine in South America. In 2011, he helped to found Nihue Rao Centro Espiritual, a traditional healing center in the Peruvian Upper Amazon. At Nihue Rao, Dr. Tafur underwent traditional apprenticeship in Traditional Amazonian Plant Medicine and Shipibo curanderismo.
In 2017, he published his book The Fellowship of the River: A Medical Doctor’s Exploration into Traditional Amazonian Plant Medicine. Highly-acclaimed with a foreword written by Dr. Gabor Mate, the book describes Dr. Tafur’s unique journey into spiritual healing work, his years of study in the jungle forest, and the power of nature to heal complaints that have widely evaded Western medical approaches.
Together with a team of world-class colleagues, Dr. Tafur started Modern Spirit, a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to demonstrating the value of spiritual healing in modern healthcare. In addition to education and community-building projects, the organization is currently focused on the Modern Spirit Epigenetics Project, a groundbreaking and now funded substudy of the MAPS MDMA-assisted Psychotherapy research trial. 
In 2019, Dr. Tafur began to work with his colleagues Dr. Amalia Baca ND and Ray Baca through the Ocotillo Center for Integrative Medicine. He is now also working with Daytryp Health as an advisor and starting work with Ketamine-Assisted Therapy.
Dr. Tafur also continues to lead Journeys to Latin America, where he guides small groups in a comprehensive experience of Traditional Amazonian Plant Medicine and Ayahuasca curanderismo. Dr. Tafur is particularly interested in education. At the still-thriving Nihue Rao, he has supervised indigenous learning opportunities for a number of U.S. medical students and therapists and is now bringing groups to traditional education in Colombia as well.
Building on the ideas presented in his book and working to bridge the paradigms of modern science and traditional healing, Dr. Tafur has been Speaking at conferences across the globe, as well as at a number of medical schools, including the University of Arizona’s Center for Integrative Medicine, UCSD, Yale, Southwestern College of Naturopathic Medicine, and the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine.

Professional credibility. Have you ever had your credibility challenged, particularly by sharing the truth of your real-life lived experience? Many scientists and academics have been forced to live very separate personal and professional lives, for fear of their professional credibility being challenged and even losing their jobs and reputation, or worse. Hopefully, all of that is beginning to change. The Universe may be up to something! Two books about the spiritual lives of scientists were published just three months apart. Neither award-winning author knew the other or that they were writing their books. Join co-host, Dr. Paul J. Mills, author of Science, Being and Becoming: The Spiritual Lives of Scientists, and guest, Dr. Marjorie Woollcott, author of Spiritual Awakenings: Scientists and Academics Describe Their Experiences, as we explore this important topic! About our Guest
Marjorie Woollacott, Ph.D., is an Emeritus Professor of Human Physiology, and member of the Institute of Neuroscience, at the University of Oregon. She was chair of the Human Physiology Department for seven years. In addition to teaching courses on neuroscience and rehabilitation, she taught courses on complementary and alternative medicine and meditation. She is Research Director for the International Association of Near-Death Studies (IANDS) and is President of the Academy for the Advancement of Postmaterialist Sciences (AAPS). Woollacott graduated magna cum laude from the University of Southern California and was elected to membership in Phi Beta Kappa. She received her Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Southern California and her M.A. from the University of Oregon in Asian Studies. She was also a research professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Umea in Umea, Sweden, and in the National Center for Scientific Research in Marseille, France.
Woollacott has received over 7.2 million dollars in research funding for her research in child development, aging, rehabilitation medicine and most recently, meditation.  Her areas of expertise include: 1) changes in attentional performance skills and underlying neural networks associated with the mental training of meditation and tai chi; 2) the phenomenon of spiritually transformative experiences, including near-death experiences, 3) the development of balance and attentional abilities in children and factors leading to loss of balance function in aging, and in patients with movement disorders, 4) the design of assessment and treatment strategies to improve balance and attentional abilities. These include testing the efficacy of alternative forms of therapy such as tai chi and meditation for improving both attention and balance and gait abilities in patient populations; and 5) the development of musical performance skills in musicians.
Woollacott has published more than 200 scientific articles and written or co-edited eight books. She is the co-author, with Dr. Anne Shumway-Cook of the textbook for health care professionals, titled: Motor Control: Translating Research into Clinical Practice, in its 6th edition (2021). Her latest book, Infinite Awareness (2015) (winner of eight awards, including the 2017 Parapsychological Association Book Award, Eric Hoffer Book Award and the Nautilus Book Award) pairs Woollacott’s research as a neuroscientist with her self-revelations about the mind’s spiritual power. Between the scientific and spiritual worlds, she breaks open the definition of human consciousness to investigate the existence of a non-physical and infinitely powerful mind.

When you think about “healing,” what do you imagine? Does something leap in your heart or stir in your soul? For many healers, the most profound cases are when the veils between heaven and earth dissolve and the designing intelligence of the universe steps in. During healing, sometimes the physical and spiritual worlds unexpectantly come together and transcended all rational knowing and expectations. With our guests, Oscar Miro-Quesada Solevo and Dr. Shamini Jain, we explore today’s shaman, who leaves new footprints on paths of psychic awareness and spiritual wisdom that are more than 70,000 years old. Shamanism is a tradition of healing, power, and wisdom that sees all life as interconnected and sacred. The process of shamanic awakening is as vast as the universe itself. Physical and spiritual worlds blend with one another, and the shaman’s path lies in attaining a life of harmony with both.

Did you know there are real and cumulative spiritual benefits of meditation? Mystical experiences, different states of consciousness, heightened awareness, guidance, inspiration, and awakening experiences are just a few. Sometimes meditation induces the profound and unimaginable, and sometimes a prolonged practice fundamentally changes you.
Sister Dr. Jenna, author of Meditation, says: “This is what happens when you consistently meditate. You are inspired to become increasingly kind, generous, loving, and less dictated by the ego. It happens subtly over time, like a rose blooming inside you, eventually sharing its fragrance with anyone who comes in contact with you.” In this episode of Mainstreet Mystics, we explore meditation and ask two experts the bigger questions: what insights do we have from ancient wisdom traditions, modern science, and lived experience, and why do people have transpersonal, metaphysical and mystical experiences as a result of meditation?
