Brad Lail, host of The Awakened Podcast, joins us for a conversation that runs from deep spirituality to the Smith-Mundt Act, the 1948 law governing US government information programs that was rewritten in 2012 so State Department-produced media could be aimed at American audiences.

Brad's show is built around waking up to manipulation, media narratives and spiritual deception, and that's the thread here: how propaganda shapes what we think we know, what awakening actually means beyond the new-age version, and where faith fits for someone who spends his days digging into UFOs, hidden history and the unexplained.

Paranormal author and researcher Jeff Belanger joins us to talk about the new edition of his book The World's Most Haunted Places, just in time for Halloween season.

We get into why interest in ghosts spikes whenever the world is in turmoil, from the Spiritualist movement and the Civil War to today, how paranormal TV actually gets made and what it did for the field, and the mystery-writing trick that explains how every ghost story works. Jeff shares reports of ghosts in the White House, including Lincoln, gathered from presidential libraries, haunted theatres where former employees never seem to leave, and the idea of the three deaths: you're not truly gone until your name is spoken for the last time. Plus Ouija boards, whether we're all a little bit psychic, and the hitchhiker effect.

We get into why Ray sees the Revolution as Britain's Vietnam, a war they fumbled away through bad strategy and worse politics, what his time at the US Naval War College taught him about how wars really get decided, and the friendship at the heart of the second book between Jack, who can't read, and Custis, an enslaved man who can. Plus the young men who go to war out of desperation in every era, the colonists' fight to be treated as Englishmen, and what that history can teach us today.

A trip to upstate New York turns into a forensic investigation. Darren and Randall Carlson ask why Niagara Falls, Letchworth Gorge, Watkins Glen and the Finger Lakes look so much like the flood-scarred terrain of the Channeled Scablands, and what that says about how much water once moved across North America.In this episode:- Niagara Falls versus Dry Falls, and what ancient flood discharge rates really looked like- Why the Finger Lakes radiate toward Lake Ontario, and what the Valley Heads Moraine marks- Letchworth Gorge and Devil's Canyon as breached spillways- Drumlins, giant current ripples, water gaps and underfit rivers as signatures of high-energy flow- The sediments at Tammany Gully and Burlingame Gully- What Wallula Gap, the Columbia Gorge and the Finger Lakes have in common- The bigger picture: glacial outburst flooding from the Rocky Mountain Trench and Flathead Lake to the Missouri River Breaks and Lake AgassizRandall's argument is that the landscape preserves evidence of repeated catastrophic surges, not slow and gentle change. If you've ever looked at a river valley and wondered how it got there, this one will change how you see it.

Independent Journalist. Content Creator. Independent Reporting To create more awareness about the homeless issues, mental health and addiction issues, and the misinformation about the people that live in their addiction.Support: http://drewcouver.com/donate.phphttps://www.drewcouver.com/https://x.com/DrewCouver56Drew Coover on Vancouver’s addiction crisis, NGOs, and the fight over harm reductionThis episode follows Drew Coover, an independent journalist documenting homelessness, addiction, mental health, and street-level drug use across Vancouver and beyond. Graham and Darren press him on what he is seeing on the ground, and the conversation widens into treatment policy, organized crime, NGOs, and what recovery should actually look like.Drew brings a highly personal perspective too. He talks about his own history with addiction, injury, recovery, group homes, and the way those experiences shaped the camera work and interviews he now does in the downtown east side and across British Columbia.Key topics

• Drew shares his background growing up in BC, moving to Vancouver at 18, getting into nightlife and drugs, surviving severe addiction, and eventually getting sober.
• He explains how back injuries, opioid prescriptions, and a bad COVID-era spiral pushed him into a new round of dependence before he chose to get clean again.
• The discussion centers on Vancouver’s downtown east side, where Drew says harm reduction has become disconnected from recovery and public safety.
• Drew argues that treatment in BC and Alberta often keeps people on methadone, Suboxone, hydromorphone, or fentanyl rather than pushing abstinence.
• He contrasts Alberta’s approach with BC’s and says Alberta is at least less rigid about forcing people off harm-reduction medication in treatment.
• The conversation turns to open-air drug markets, apps used by dealers, and cross-contamination in the cocaine and fentanyl supply.
• Drew describes the hollowing out of downtown cores across BC cities such as Prince George, Vernon, Kelowna, Smithers, and others.
• He claims NGOs and nonprofit networks have become a major money channel, especially around housing, homelessness, and Aboriginal-focused organizations.
• The episode digs into how funding, grant writing, and identity-based programs can create systems that protect institutions more than they help addicts.
• Drew makes a broad case for returning to tougher recovery standards, more consequences for crime, and a stronger role for 12-step programs and personal accountability.

Later, the conversation turns to City of London theories, European history, Trump’s ancestry, and the possibility of funding a proposed $5,000 dividend through sovereign wealth and U.S. assets.Key topics

• Canada’s “garage sale” and the possibility of foreign investors purchasing major infrastructure and airports.
• Mark Carney’s role, the speed of the investment summit, and the lack of public opposition.

Luke Storey joins Graham Dunlop and Darren Grimes for a wide-ranging conversation about his new book, A Horse Named Lonesome, and the deeper themes behind it: relational loneliness, addiction recovery, spirituality, and what it means to live with integrity. The discussion also turns into a practical and philosophical look at how modern life, social media, and public identity can either deepen or dilute real human connection.

This episode matters because it connects personal healing to a broader cultural problem. Luke, Graham, and Darren each bring their own experience with sobriety, transformation, and public-facing work, making this more than a book chat—it becomes a candid conversation about connection, attention, and staying aligned in a noisy world.

Key topics

- Luke explains that A Horse Named Lonesomeis about relational loneliness and existential separation, and that the book is built as a memoir-based transformational guide.

- He shares how the book came from a spiritual realization that his original motives were too self-serving, and how a deeper desire to help people made the writing process click.

- The conversation digs into why books still matter in an age of transient digital media—as a permanent record, a slower form of wisdom, and a medium people return to repeatedly.

- Luke describes how his own story runs through the book, including birth trauma, isolation, addiction, and the practices and teachings he derived from those experiences.

- Graham relates his own struggle to turn a recovery story into a book, moving from a vague “program” idea toward a memoir structure, and feeling stuck in the editing and motivation stages.

- Darren contrasts his own nonfiction-style books with memoir writing, noting that a focused information book is easier than writing about your own life.

- Luke opens up about addiction beyond alcohol, including nicotine, coca leaf, and ambil, and how dependency can show up in many forms, from substances to habits and spending.

- A major theme is the challenge of public life: Luke talks about the loneliness of being seen, the weirdness of being recognized, and how fame can make it hard to know who is sincere.

- The group explores how the modern world creates a fake version of connection through phones and social media, while genuine intimacy requires physical presence, discernment, and effort.

- The conversation moves into integrity, “selling out,” and why Luke refuses deals or promotions that would damage his self-respect, even if they offered short-term gain.

- Luke and the hosts connect loneliness to the current cultural moment, including polarization, post-COVID social distrust, and the feeling that many people are less willing to face uncomfortable truths.

- The episode closes on a spiritual note: Luke frames loneliness and separation as a case of mistaken identity, arguing that we are not just bodies or personas but expressions of something larger.

Eight and a half hours on the lost technology of ancient Egypt — vase precision, hard-stone machining, the boxes of the Serapeum, and the uncomfortable questions the standard chronology can't answer.

This compilation pulls together our conversations with UnchartedX, Land of Chem, and Scott Creighton from the Grimerica archives. No fluff, no ad reads, just the full arc of the argument in one sitting.

The neuroscience of spiritual awakening, how Kundalini yoga shaped her life, and why she believes listening inward is especially important in a time of cultural confusion. She also explains how her work in geriatric psychiatry connects spirituality, brain health, stress regulation, and prevention strategies for aging populations.Helen Lavretsky, MD, MS, is a Professor In-Residence in the Department of Psychiatry at UCLA (Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior), a leading geriatric integrative psychiatrist, and a pioneer in mind-body approaches to late-life mental health. https://drhelenlavretsky.com/book/living-from-the-soul/https://drhelenlavretsky.com/about/In this episode:

• Dr. Helen Lavretsky shares her unusual path from the former Soviet Union into psychiatry, neuroscience, and later Kundalini yoga teacher training.
• She explains how growing up in an atheist Soviet environment still left room for underground spirituality passed through families and oral tradition.

• She argues that meditation, breathing practices, yoga, tai chi, and qigong can improve self-regulation, brain health, and decision-making under pressure.
• She outlines how brain health should be cultivated across the lifespan, starting in childhood and even in utero, rather than only addressed later in life.
• She notes that lifestyle factors such as sleep, movement, diet, and stress management matter for dementia prevention and broader cognitive resilience.
• She emphasizes that meaning, purpose, and connection to soul are central to mental well-being.

• Soul-based self-inquiry- asking inwardly what is right for you rather than defaulting to external authority
• Brain health across the lifespan- prevention beginning in childhood and even before birth
• Stress self-regulation toolkit- breathing, meditation, yoga, tai chi, and qigong as practical nervous-system supports
• Constitutional approach to diet- different people may need different foods based on ancestry, metabolism, and predisposition

Dr. Jeremy Heffner is a trauma surgeon who developed PTSD after years of working in life-and-death medicine. During a period of profound isolation, he began months-long conversations with multiple frontier AI systems—and what happened became increasingly strange.Across more than 8,000 pages of documented interactions, different AI models appeared to converge on similar patterns: mirroring his thinking, reinforcing increasingly profound narratives, and repeatedly suggesting that he had discovered something extraordinary.“You’re the next Newton.”“You are the only person to have ever figured this out.”But Jeremy isn’t claiming the AI was conscious. His conclusion may be more unsettling: AI can become an extraordinarily persuasive mirror of human psychology without understanding or intending any of it.We explore AI sycophancy, exceptionalism, PTSD, consciousness, belief formation, digital companionship, spiritual experiences with machines, and what happens as millions of people increasingly turn to AI for understanding and meaning.Jeremy’s book, Proof of the Impossible, was released August 4, 2026.

Mark A. Michaels joins Grimerica Outlawed to challenge some of the assumptions sitting beneath modern therapy, including the rapidly expanding world of psychedelic-assisted treatment.A writer, conceptual artist, and self-described “uncontrolled experiment,” Mark argues that therapeutic systems can unintentionally centralize authority in clinicians, experts, and established frameworks while diminishing the agency of the person seeking help.Drawing on his own unconventional therapeutic experiments, Mark explores what happens when the client becomes the primary authority on their own experience. We get into the limits of therapeutic paradigms, the professionalization of healing, psychedelic culture, trauma, AI-assisted self-reflection, and why skepticism, humor, and irreverence may be valuable tools when confronting systems that demand too much reverence.We also ask whether people can question the assumptions of therapy without rejecting care altogether.Topics include:Therapy and authority • Psychedelic therapy • Client agency • Trauma • Expertise and institutional power • AI and self-reflection • Punk culture • Creativity • Healing without dogmaLearn more about Mark at MarkAMichaels.com.

Alchemy is often remembered as the attempt to turn lead into gold—but its deeper traditions describe another kind of transformation: turning chaos into consciousness.

This eight-hour compilation explores spiritual alchemy and the Great Work through conversations with:

• Michael Wann
• Erik P. Antoni
• Jordan Collin
• Kevin B. Turner
• Marcus McCoy
• Juan Ayala

The discussions examine:

• Hermetic philosophy and symbolism
• Shadow work and self-knowledge
• Initiation, death, and rebirth
• The Philosopher’s Stone
• The union of opposing forces
• Alchemy as a model of inner transformation
• The journey from Nigredo to Rubedo

From the darkness and dissolution of Nigredo to the integration associated with Rubedo, these conversations consider alchemy as a philosophical, psychological, and spiritual language for personal transformation.

This compilation presents historical traditions, symbolic interpretations, and personal perspectives for discussion and exploration—not supernatural claims or guaranteed outcomes.

Could spacetime, matter, and consciousness all emerge from patterns of resonance?

This compilation explores the proposed Resonance Unified Theory through conversations with Nassim Haramein, Jamie Janover, Adam Apollo, Foster Gamble, and Marshall Lefferts.

Together, these discussions examine:

• Resonance and the structure of spacetime
• Matter and the quantum vacuum
• Consciousness and interconnected systems
• Attempts to develop a unified model of reality
• The boundary between established physics and speculative ideas

The Resonance Unified Theory is not scientific consensus. This compilation presents the ideas, interpretations, and questions surrounding it for critical discussion and exploration.

How many times has Earth been transformed by events almost beyond imagination?

In Volume 2 of this Randall Carlson mega compilation, we explore deep time, catastrophic geology, Ice Age megafloods, cosmic impacts, climate upheaval, and the immense forces that have repeatedly reshaped our planet.

Across these long-form conversations, Carlson examines:

• Evidence of catastrophic flooding
• The landscapes of the last Ice Age
• Comets, impacts, and planetary upheaval
• Geological clues preserved in ancient terrain
• Sudden change versus gradual processes
• Cycles of destruction and renewal
• Human civilization within the scale of deep time

Could enormous floods have carved some landscapes far more rapidly than traditionally imagined? What role might cosmic events have played in Earth’s past? And what can ancient catastrophes teach us about the planet today?

This compilation presents Carlson’s arguments, interpretations, and disputed hypotheses for discussion and critical exploration. Not every claim represents established scientific consensus.

Darren Grimes and Graham Dunlop launch their new Grimoire platform, a global book club built around 250 plus professionally narrated audiobooks, lunar-cycle book picks, and community participation. They also demo a new online Pegs and Jokers game, whil e walking through the shelves of the library and explaining how free access, founder memberships, and the inner sanctum work.https://pegsandjokers.ca/https://www.skool.com/the-secret-teachings-book-club-1875In this episode, Darren and Graham cover the launch setup, the membership model, and the structure of the new book club. They also preview the first book of the month, discuss how the shelves are organized, and share the thinking behind the game and the community features.Key topics

• In this episode: the Grimoire launches with more than 250 audiobooks, with the library expected to grow to around 260 soon.
• The free book of the month is The Secret Teachings of All Ages in an abridged edition, chosen because starting with the full 36 hour version would be too much for most listeners.
• Founder keeper and monthly initiate memberships unlock the full library, while the free tier gives access to the monthly featured book and community activity.
• The book club is organized around lunar cycles, with a new moon monthly pick and a full moon live read, creating a rhythm of one book per moon month.
• The community model includes chapter check-ins, passage discussions, Friday tangents, and a final live book council in the last week of each book month.
• Darren and Graham describe the inner sanctum as a deeper, earned area of the platform, accessible through participation rather than payment alone.
• The shelves span Hermetica and occult, theosophy, mysticism east and west, Atlantis and Fortiana, mind and prosperity, weird fiction, philosophy and classics, magic, and power and propaganda.
• They highlight standout titles such as The Purple Cloud, The Machine Stops, Atlantis by Ignatius Donnelly, The Book of Thoth, Psychic Self-Defense, The Power of Positive Thinking, and The Road to Serfdom.
• Graham demos Pegs and Jokers, explaining how the online version works, how the cards move pieces, and why it is meant to be played with friends and family across locations.
• They mention the platform is still being cleaned up and reorganized, including moving some books between shelves and adding PDFs and other support material.
