New Thinking Allowed Audio Podcast

Gabriel Kennedy (aka Prop Anon) is the author of Chapel Perilous: The Life & Thought Crimes of Robert Anton Wilson. He is also a visual artist and musician.

Gabriel discusses Robert Anton Wilson’s Cosmic Trigger Volume One, focusing on Wilson’s life in 1970s Berkeley amid psychedelics, occult experiments, and countercultural currents. He explores Wilson’s close collaboration with Timothy Leary on the eight-circuit model of intelligence, Crowleyan magic, synchronicities involving Sirius and the number 23, and the development of model agnosticism. Kennedy also addresses the personal tragedies that marked this period, including the murder of Wilson’s daughter Luna, and why the book remains a classic of underground American literature.

James Tunney, LLM, is an Irish barrister who has lectured on legal matters throughout the world. He is a poet, a scholar, and author of The Mystery of the Trapped Light: Mystical Thoughts in the Dark Age of Scientism plus The Mystical Accord: Sutras to Suit Our Times, Lines for Spiritual Evolution; also Empire of Scientism: The Dispiriting Conspiracy and Inevitable Tyranny of Scientocracy and TechBondAge: Slavery of the Human Spirit.

In this reboot originally released in 2021, James shares his knowledge of the philosophical tradition of personalism – a movement that has touched many other disciplines and that emphasizes the unique rights and responsibilities of personhood. He points out that there are countervailing tendencies in society that would treat humans more as machines, or as animals, rather than as persons. There are also movements that would grant personhood to robots, animals, and even deities. Tunney expresses his concern that individuals not give away their personal sovereignty.

Bill Plotkin, PhD, is the founder of the Animas Valley Institute in Durango, CO. He is author of Soulcraft: Crossing Into the Mysteries of Nature and Psyche, Nature and the Human Soul: Cultivating Wholeness and Community in a Fragmented World, Wild Mind: A Field Guide to the Human Psyche, and The Journey of Soul Initiation: A Field Guide for Visionaries, Evolutionaries, and Revolutionaries.

Here he explains his use of the term "soul" as relating to an individual's unique ecological niche in mythopoetic terms. He points out that soul initiation is not the same as a vision quest, a hero's journey, psychotherapy, nor a rite of passage. It can be a very lengthy process involving a dissolution of the ego. He shares many details of the process, relating it to the biological transformation of a caterpillar to butterfly. He also describes Carl Gustav Jung's soul initiation as documented in the Red Book.
