Ryan Bledsoe and his family have been ground zero for all manner of high weirdness for nearly 20 years. Ryan's life has been completely transformed as a result-- He left the religion he grew up in, his ideas about reality changed, and he (and his family) have been investigated by numerous intelligence agencies.

In this one, we riff on Ryan and his family's experiences, disinformation, the esoteric and why Ryan believes UFOs are a spiritual phenomenon.

Erick Godsey returns to the mind meld!

In this one, we riff around the practical, psychological and esoteric layers of what Carl Jung called individuation: The process of becoming a psychologically distinct and whole individual. In short, the art of discovering and living one's purpose in life. We also muse about individuation's direct connection to a more overtly mystical and ancient concept, the personal daimon, and much more.
