ep 248 - psychedelic native america & missihuasca

---

In this episode, I talk with author and esoteric explorer P.D. Newman about his powerful new book Tripping the Trail of Ghosts: Psychedelics and the Afterlife Journey in Native American Mound Cultures. Together, we dive into the mysterious world of Southeastern Native American shamanic practices—specifically those connected to death, rebirth, and the spirit realm.

Newman uncovers a largely overlooked legacy of entheogenic use among the Mississippian mound cultures, where potent plant allies like jimsonweed, nightshade, morning glory, psilocybin mushrooms, and even an ayahuasca-like brew he calls Missihuasca were used in sacred rites to connect with other realms.

These powerful psychoactive journeys formed the basis for initiatory rites and afterlife preparation, centered around what was known as the Trail of Ghosts or Path of Souls—a visionary passage believed to carry the soul into the next world.

We also explore the profound role that the compound DMT played in these ancient traditions. One of the biggest revelations is his rediscovery of Missihuasca, a Southeastern analogue to ayahuasca that may have been used by Native shamans to enter deep trance states and receive spiritual revelation in their earliest history.

Together, we delve into the symbolic and energetic significance of the mound structures themselves, and their striking parallels with other sacred afterlife maps—like the Egyptian and Tibetan Books of the Dead.

It’s a riveting glimpse into a forgotten system of ancient spiritual technology designed to guide the soul through the ultimate mystery. An amazing episode… Drop in!

In this episode, I talk with writer and researcher Miguel Conner about his incredible new book, The Occult Elvis: The Mystical and Magical Life of the King.

Miguel takes us deep into a side of Elvis Presley that most people have never really seen — beyond the fame and public image — into the world of Elvis the mystic, the healer, the magician.

Drawing from firsthand accounts by Priscilla Presley, Elvis’s family, friends, the Memphis Mafia, and his spiritual advisors, Miguel shows us just how deeply Elvis was involved in the world of the esoteric. We talk about the spiritual teachers who shaped him, like Yogananda, H.P. Blavatsky, Manly P. Hall, and others, and how Elvis explored meditation, astrology, numerology, and astral travel. Miguel also shares his personal connection with the spirit or oversoul of Elvis, after having a powerful Ayahuasca session.

We also look into the stranger parts of his life — his psychic abilities, UFO encounters, and the mysterious visitations people have reported since his passing.

Miguel paints a compelling picture of Elvis not just as a cultural icon, but as one of the greatest magicians America ever produced.

In this episode, I talk with the incredible Tobias Churton—renowned scholar of the esoteric and spiritual mysteries—for a mind-opening conversation about his latest book, The Books of Enoch Revealed: The Wicked Watchers, Metatron, and the Fruits of Forbidden Knowledge...

Together, we explore the full story of Enoch, the prophet and great-grandfather of Noah, who was said to be taken up into the heavens for direct instruction from the Divine.

Tobias unpacks the complex legacy of the Watchers— fallen angels who descended to Earth and unleashed forbidden knowledge that reshaped humanity forever. We also trace the Book of Enoch’s journey through time, from its influence in Second Temple Judaism to its esoteric echoes in the Kabbalah and Gnostic traditions.

Tobias takes us beyond the surface, bringing clarity to misunderstood prophecies and shedding new light on the apocalyptic visions that have captured imaginations for millennia. We talk about how Enoch's story lived on in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, survived through the Dead Sea Scrolls, and birthed fascinating offshoots like 2 Enoch and 3 Enoch—texts filled with cosmic revelations and hidden wisdom...

In this episode, we listen to a rare recorded interview from the late, great, Rosemary Ellen Guiley. Rosemary was one of the most legendary figures in the world of paranormal research, a fearless explorer of the unknown who spent her life chasing answers in the shadows of our reality. Though she’s no longer with us, her voice and her wisdom carry on.. She talk about the mystery of the Djinn, described as ancient, powerful beings of smokeless fire who move between worlds and have long been suspected of influencing human experience from the shadows. Rosemary's insights on the Djinn are especially powerful, as she explains how they could be behind many of the phenomena we mistakenly attribute to demons or extraterrestrials. 

Throughout this recorded interview, Rosemary takes us deep into the hidden layers of existence from -The Hat Man, shadow people, the connections between alien abductions and ancient beings like the Nephilim, and the chilling reality of dream invasion and sleep paralysis. She explores how certain entities feed off fear, how synchronicities might not be accidents, and how cursed objects can carry real, dangerous attachments. Rosemary also shares some of the most frightening cases she ever investigated, reminding us of the risks that come with exploring these realms, but also the importance of keeping our minds open. This is a tribute to her work, and her enduring voice in the quest to understand what lies beyond the veil... Drop in!

Rosemary Ellen Guiley Bio:

Rosemary Ellen Guiley was one of the most respected and prolific voices in the field of metaphysical research, with over 65 books to her name covering a vast range of subjects like the paranormal, spiritual realms, dreamwork, angels, demons, and the mystical nature of reality itself. Her work bridged the gap between scholarship and personal exploration, weaving together deep research with field investigations and interviews, as she sought to understand the hidden dimensions that shape our experience of the world. Rosemary was not only a writer but also an active investigator, spending countless nights in haunted locations and spiritual hotspots, always driven by a profound curiosity about the unseen forces around us.

She served on the boards of several major paranormal organizations and appeared frequently on television and radio, sharing her insights with a wide audience hungry for understanding the mysteries of life and beyond. Rosemary approached her work with both rigor and an open heart, believing that the exploration of the unknown was essential to expanding human consciousness. Though she passed away in 2019, her legacy continues to inspire truth seekers, mystics, and researchers worldwide, reminding us that the boundaries of reality are far wider than we often imagine — and that her voice still echoes in the conversations we carry forward today.

In this episode, I talk with George J. Haas about his new book The Great Architects of Mars: Evidence for the Lost Civilizations on the Red Planet. George is the founder of The Cydonia Institute and a longtime researcher of Martian anomalies. His latest work explores the possibility that an ancient civilization once existed on Mars—and that it may have made contact with early life on Earth over 800,000 years ago.

We explore strange and compelling structures on the Martian surface—pyramids, five-pointed stars, and massive geoglyphs shaped like animals—all showing a surprising level of precision and symbolic design.

Some of these images are truly startling—so refined, so geometrically precise, and so clearly symbolic that it becomes difficult to explain them as natural formations. George shows that this level of complexity points to intelligent design, likely from an advanced civilization with the capability to shape an entire planetary landscape. These structures raise deep questions about who—or what—created them, and why.

A major part of our discussion centers on the connection between these Martian structures and ancient Earth civilizations, especially in Mesoamerica. George shares a little-known Mayan creation story describing a “Star War” with beings from Mars—an event he believes ties directly to similar stories in Sumerian mythology.

That leads us into the topic of the Anunnaki—those mysterious beings from Sumerian texts who are said to have descended from the sky and influenced early human civilization. George draws powerful parallels between the Anunnaki’s presence on Earth and possible activity on Mars, suggesting they may have once occupied or interacted with both planets. He also highlights how the architecture and iconography of Mesoamerican cultures reflect this deeper, interplanetary history.

In the second half of the episode, George walks us through several formations using detailed NASA imagery and suggests they may be the remnants of lost Martian cities.

In this episode, Brynn Anderson and listen to a rare and electrifying lecture from the legendary Neville Goddard, recorded in 1968. The lecture is titled "Live in the End"—also known as "How to Live in Your Desire Fulfilled". It captures the essence of Neville’s core teaching in a way that feels both timeless and urgently relevant. As we listen, we’re invited into a sacred space where imagination becomes the bridge between the inner and outer worlds, where the divine power within us is not only acknowledged but activated. This isn’t just about wanting something—it’s about becoming the version of yourself who already has it. It’s about embodying the outcome with such sincerity and clarity that reality has no choice but to follow, and so much more!

Neville spoke of the God within us, how to build that connection, and see imagination as God of our inner world, as the true creative force behind everything we experience. In this lecture, he takes us deeper into that truth, guiding us to live not in hope or waiting, but in the fulfilled state, the “end” as if it already is. Throughout the episode, Brynn and I are listening with you together, taking notes, to unpack all we learned after the lecture.. Deep knowledge!.. Drop In!

Neville Goddart Bio:

Neville Goddard (1905–1972) was a profound spiritual teacher and author known for his powerful insights into the creative power of human imagination. Though often grouped with metaphysical or New Thought thinkers, Neville distanced himself from formal labels or movements. He believed his purpose was to uncover and revive the psychological truths hidden within the Bible, bringing to light the ancient wisdom it carried about consciousness, imagination, and the divine nature of humanity.

Born in Barbados and trained in drama after moving to the U.S. at 17, Neville eventually left the entertainment world to fully dedicate himself to spiritual teaching. Settling in Los Angeles, he gave lectures that drew packed audiences throughout the mid-20th century. His core message centered on what he called “The Law”—the idea that imagination creates reality. Through vivid personal stories and examples from his students, Neville taught that by using imaginal power with love and intention, anyone could shape their life and reality. He continued sharing these teachings until his passing in 1972, leaving behind a body of work that still resonates deeply with seekers today.
