What is more mysterious than the future? The future is a vast unknown, and in these times the emergence of new technologies makes life change at a rate we’ve never seen before. Are we ready? How can we prepare for this unprecedented acceleration? How to safely glide on the current and not crash-land in a sci-fi dystopia? How to navigate through life when everything is unpredictable? Tantric aspirant Kalas poses these questions in this episode. Questions that can only be answered if we dare to look into our relationship with transformation; a sensitive topic nowadays when most people are longing to hold on to the status quo. Continuous transformation, however, is one of the life’s defining conditions and we will explore what it means in this episode. Welcome to this journey of self discovery!

Today we are told to trust science completely – but true science never asked us to believe in it. On the contrary, true science always asked to be scrutinised because that is how science reaches perfection. In this episode I chose to take a boldly direct approach on the obvious signs of degradation of science simultaneously with the weakening of spirituality when they both refuse each other. Coming from an academic background, I have seen the best and worst of science from the inside.
As a practitioner and teacher of yoga, tantra and meditation for more than 30 years, I have also seen and experienced spirituality from its very core. I aim to offer a perspective of how we can bridge the gap between science and spirituality, between logical reasoning and higher heart values. Considering that today science claims to be the owner of the absolute truth and religion tries to fight back, we need to reflect more on these topics. One of the most important lessons for us personally and as a society.

A friendly talk about the major phenomena arising in the world today with Advaitananda and Sahajananda J. Porslund. There is a battle between ’The Great Reset’ and ‘The Great Awakening’. Is there a real choice between these two alternatives? One of them, a social and political Frankenstein pushed forward by the elite, the other a whisper from the rising masses, conveniently labelled as conspiracy theory by social engineers. Maybe now is the time to look more closely into these issues before it’s too late and the frog is already boiled.

“What do we cancel when we cancel culture?” This question can easily get your fingers (and sometimes also your books!) burned in today’s environment of Political Correctness. In this episode, Maria Porsfelt, lead teacher at Tara Yoga Center with a degree in philosophy, dares to raise the question and Advaitananda demolishes the usual perspective drawing parallels between modern-day censorship in areas ranging from Social Media to children’s books, and the cultural revolutions in the USSR, China and Nazi Germany. Get prepared for one of the strongest moral tests of our generation!

Thomas Egebøl, an independent adviser and chairman, is a voice for many who are searching for ways to turn the apparent crisis into growth, on many levels, by courageously looking the storm straight in the eye. He joins me in this episode to get insights on the invisible enemy that the whole world seems to be united around – not ‘the virus’, but fear.
We fear that everything will be different. We try to hold on to what we know, waiting for things to go back to ‘normal’, or at least, a ‘new normal’. But to make room for progress it seems that we need to take a hammer to the old and tear it down.
Transformation and learning are always triggered by aspiration or, the other strong incentive, fear. In this talk we look into the amazing perspectives that are revealed to us if we remove fear along with the inner programming that makes us robotically react to it.
