Keith Thompson: The UFO Paradox (Myth, Mind & Consciousness) Episode #334
Episode 334
Tuesday, October 28, 2025 • Duration 02:04:07
Journalist and author Keith Thompson (The UFO Paradox, Angels and Aliens) joins Mind Escape: New Telos to explore UFOs as modern myth, the relationship between belief and consciousness, and why the phenomenon defies simple explanation. We discuss the Ann Arbor swamp gas era and Keith’s early curiosity about the unknown, his insights on angels, demons, and spectral monsters, and how UFOs might represent both external reality and inner psyche. Thompson also reflects on his near-death experience while body-surfing, what it taught him about consciousness, and how thinkers like Jeff Kripal and Alan Watts influence his understanding of the paradox.

Andrew Gallimore on Death by Astonishment | Ayahuasca, DMT, & Building Alien Worlds Episode #330
Episode 333
Tuesday, September 23, 2025 • Duration 01:50:13
In this episode of Mind Escape: New Telos, neuroscientist and author Andrew Gallimore joins us to discuss his groundbreaking book Death by Astonishment. We dive into the history of ayahuasca from Richard Spruce and William Burroughs to Shultes and the discovery of chacruna and then push forward into the future: DMT as a technology, machine elves, building alien worlds, and the metaphysical implications of the “filter” model of consciousness. Are these realms real, or are they archetypes generated by the mind? Could DMT be the bridge between neuroscience and metaphysics? And what would an extended-state “DMT technology” mean for humanity?

Rudolf Steiner (Art, Philosophy, and Esoteric Knowledge) | Andrew Tischler Episode #329
Episode 329
Monday, September 15, 2025 • Duration 01:03:54
In this episode of Mind Escape: New Telos, I sit down with glass artist and friend Andrew Tischler to explore the philosophy of Rudolf Steiner. Together we discuss Steiner’s ideas on epistemology, ontology, and teleology, and how his notion of spiritual science intersects with art and creativity. We also compare Steiner’s visionary approach to Plato’s idea of gnosis, and reflect on whether Steiner can be seen as a more spiritual, imaginative kind of Platonic thinker.
If you’re curious about how philosophy, art, and spirituality overlap, and how Steiner’s ideas continue to inspire creators and seekers alike, this episode is for you.
