IN A PERFECT WORLD > Experiential Podcasts with Rak Razam

A robust round table discussion first broadcast on the Munt Warning drug harm reduction show, River FM in Lismore, Northern NSW, Australia in Jan 2010. Featuring hosts Paul and Jackie Onassid, with guests experiential journalist Rak Razam, Aussie plant specialist Mulga, and youth culture representative Dylan Heller. What is the difference between entheogens and drugs and what role does DMT or Dimethyltryptamine straddle between the two as this archaic knowledge crests in the Western consciousness? Is DMT in danger of becoming a recreational street drug, as with the leaf extract known as "Changa"? What about the religious spiritual usage as with ayahuasca churches like Santo Daime? Can modern culture reclaim the sacred, and is DMT the vehicle for it? Does DMT take us to the realm we go to when we die? Is it a portal to God? Are there alien entities in the hyperspace it takes one to? And what good is the knowledge of the DMT experience when we come back? This debate covers the pros and cons, the dangers and the ineffable mysteries of DMT from a street level and a divine perspective and is invaluable listening for those psychonauts about to ingress, or those who are wondering about the merits of tryptamines themselves...

In conversation with Mark McCloud, acid blotter art historian and 60s archivist in his home in the Mission district of San Francisco, August, 2009. In which experiential podcaster Rak Razam learns from the master about the colorful and mind-expanding history of blotter art, from the early acid chemist oufits like the "Ghost" and the underground crews that ran the business of enlightenment. Discover who first put artwork on blotter and how the process of dipping the chemical on artwork was evolved. Acid was originally dipped on string, sugar cubes–even underwear, in the case of Michael Hollingshead (who wrote the book The Man Who Turned On the World) before blotter paper was hit on as a mode of transportation. And then the artform really took off, originally with the chemists themselves choosing the art that would grace the minds of a generation of trippers. But how does the art influence the trip? Did trips like the "Gorbies" with Mikail Gorbachov heads help tumble the Berlin Wall? Why did the infamous Mickey Mouse Sorceror's Apprentice tabs terrify the Disney corp? Like the host in the Catholic mass, is blotter art a holy artform? An illuminating interview into the world's first edible art... This talk was transcribed and printed in part in Juxtapose magazine online.

A Skype interview conducted in mid-2007, from which a feature article was printed in Australian Penthouse. Here experiential journalist Rak Razam interviews the prophet Raël, who may or may not be the messiah, or just a very naughty boy, to paraphrase Monty Python. Raël claims to have had a UFO encounter in 1973 where the Elohim (the original name in the Hebrew bible for the "sky people", later converted to "God" in Western translations) gave him the mission to be their last prophet on earth. Raël's mission is to build a space embassy in Israel (the third temple) to welcome the Elohim (and to provide sexy "Raël's Angel's" brides for our alien masters). Raël claims the Elohim created all life on earth through their super science and cloning, and that they hold the secret to eternal life. Far off in space with clones of Jesus, Mohammed and other luminaries, the Elohim watch us like a clip of "Cosmic YouTube", waiting for us to reach maturity. As whacked out as all this may sound, there are definite seeds of anthropological and mythological truth in what Raël says, and the lighthearted interview approach is a unique bro chat with perhaps the world's most controversial religious figure, head of the global free love and alien worshipping Raëlians... Beam us up, Raël!

An illuminating conversation with experiential podcaster Rak Razam, Dylan Heller and Danny Horvath–the God Club–in which they discuss feeding the noosphere, blossoming divinity and the Western ego, and feeding back to the Source. Should we fear feeding and being fed upon by higher dimensional forces like lambs to the slaughter? Feeding heaven and feeding the earth... Should we shun the Hive mind or embrace the way the individual units make up the whole? How best to be conscious of the web of life we are all part of and feed into? Can we surrender into the larger collective organism? How to cope having the shell of you cracked open on the shores of heaven to reveal your God-nature within... in every moment... A species signal activation peaking in the gene pool... Discover the profound secret in the heart of all humanity in this intense episode of In a Perfect World...

An experiential podcast with Rak Razam and special guest, Sufi academic Wahid Azal. In which is discussed the feminine Godhead (Sophia) which preceeds the masculine Logos, the two trees of knowledge in the Garden of Eden, and the synergy between Hebrew, Islamic and Christian religions, amongst other things... Wahid is the sheik of an Iranian Sufi mystic order that uses an ayahuasca analogue–haoma–as its active sacrament and here he expounds at length about the mystic traditions of the Middle East and the entheogenic sacraments that catalyzed them. Sufism predates Islam and Wahid's order–Fatimiya–believes in multiple levels of divinity, where the Word of God is in the book, not the many prophets of God, and where they worship the daughter of the prophet Mohammed as the representation of the Godhead-ess. The entheogenic use of plants within these secret sects of Sufis has been underground for millennia and is again sprouting in some areas of the Middle East, despite persecution from the mainstream religions. Wahid discusses the ancient entheogenic use of acacias, blue lotus, psilocybin, syrian rue and haoma as well as the unspeakable name(s) of God–in Greek the Tetragrammaton (the four lettered name of God), the Logos, and the other trigger words to invoke the vibrational essence of the divine. Word! For more information on the Fatimiya see: Fatimiya Sufi Order

Australian ayahuasquero and shamanic practicioner Darpan is interviewed by experiential podcaster Rak Razam in this revealing talk about the sacred South American vine and the medicine of the soul. What is ayahuasca and why is it seeding itself across the planet at this critical time? An in-depth examination of the history and uses of madre ayahasca and the shamanistic worldview, with detail about Darpan's origins and the significance of Terence McKenna in introducing him to the vine. How does aya help reveal the infinite levels of the world and how do you manifest your own reality? Darpan explains about the flowering of consciousness in the astral and the planet as Gaia opens up, and how the planet seeders–the programmers– are tending to the earth just as we tend to gardens... Galactivation! The bulk of the podcast is a lengthy lecture by Darpan recorded by Razam in 2006, in which Darpan expounds at length about sacred sound, ayahuasca and plant-based shamanism, and beautifully sings some of his icaros whilst practising Tuvan throat singing... Enjoy! Transcribed portions of this interview were published in the print edition of The Journeybook: Travels on the Frontiers of Consciousness in 2009.

A special interview by Phe Gitsham and Rak Razam with Richard Hilleard of the Australian Remote Viewing Unit in Perth. Rick has been trained as a Remote Viewer by former US army Major Ed Dames. Remote Viewing is a procedure developed by parapsychologists and gifted psychic individuals, at Stanford Research Institute [SRI] in Menlo park, California, US. The procedure allows anyone to gather information about anything, in the past, present or future. Remote viewing has been sponsored by the CIA – the initial research program was called SCANATE [scan by coordinate] this started in the 1970's at SRI. Over the years many other classified projects were launched. Names like GRILL FLAME, CENTERLANE, SUN STREAK and STAR GATE were used for these then classified projects. Here we talk about the essence of remote viewing, the military-corporate use of extra-sensory perception and the burgeoning science of precognition in the 21st century. For more information on the Australian remote Viewing Unit see: http://remoteviewingunit.org/

Is a psychedelic community merely a state of mind? Can meaningful change be manifested in the material world by an activated collective? From Elesius to the Haight Asbury, illuminated communities have pointed the way, but what would a 21st century psychedelic community be like? How do emerging technologies and sustainability dovetail with a psychedelic future? What models for psychedelic community both living existing, past and potential (tribes, kibbutzes, communes etc) can we draw upon? What is the correct place for a workable entheogen at the core of the tribe? What went right and what went wrong in the 60s-70s back to the earth movement? Is a psychedelic sustainable community the much needed step forward? Panel discussion held at EntheoGenesis Australis 2009 moderated by Rak Razam, featuring speakers: Bob Jesse, Paul Abad, Neil Pike, Dan Schreiber, Rob Bruce, Kallindi photo courtesy of Spiral Monk c 2009

Pharmauscas glossalize and tantalize in their quest for the divine spark. What are ”rec-chems”, the thousands of new wave chemical compounds catalogued by bio-chemist Alexander Shulgin and others? What pathways do these compounds open up, and what do these keys say about the architecture of consciousness itself? Are rec-chems a neurochemical language of the divine, a “Neurobet” spoken only by a new wave of psychonautical translinguists? Is better living through chemistry possible, and what potentials does it offer us individually and as a species? What new maps of hyperspace do rec-chems open up? If rec-chems were integrated by society at large, would we be medicated or augmented? What are the dangers? Are rec-chems catalysts to transhumanity? Panel discussion held at EntheoGenesis Australis 2009 moderated by Rak Razam, featuring speakers: Torsten, Martin Williams, Jeremy, Nano Brain, Julian Palmer. photo courtesy of Spiral Monk c 2009

A deep meta-programming discussion of the self organizing patterning of God, with experiential podcaster Rak Razam and Colonel Kurtz – the "most dangerous mind in psychedelia". How does reality self-regulate itself, and how conscious is it of the cosmic ecosystem it has created? If we're all part of the spiritual foodchain should we resist being fed and being fed upon by higher Invisible Vampiric Hierarchies? Does the core God-consciousness roll out a template pattern, like a web 'skin' for how things work in the universe, that all subordinate god-patterns have to follow? Are we all 'Meta-Africans' depleted by higher forces and starving for their God-nature? If the role of God is like that of a CPU, then even God must one day take a holiday... But who shall replace him in the cosmic shift-handover? Can an entheonaut with pure intent grasp the mantle, and who is pure enough? Arbitrary meta-patterns, self-organizing patterning, spiritual hierarchies and divine networks... let Colonel Kurtz expand your vocabulary for the wireframe under reality and code a viral memebomb to deconstruct your paradigm. A unique conversation covering the cresting of a generation of psychonauts, homo-morphism, the infamous Fnord Perfect 13th Floor Elevation Tripping Manual for entheogenesis (aka the 'Psychedelic Bible'), God-hacking and deep coding transmissions for those willing to brave the infinite. Be warned – listening to this podcast may alter your consciousness!
