Society has completely failed us, given us information over wisdom, consumerism over community, false advertising over deeper healing.  Almost everyone I met in the Social Movement during my book tour was working to transcend this situation. Wherever I went, I heard journeys of people healing their shadow, their family lines, and finding ways to help the planet herself.  Given this common dynamic, I enjoyed asking at each talk: “Who here is going through some type of initiatory or healing process?”

Come join me in Richmond, DC, Baltimore, and Philly for the East Coast readings of my new book, The Electric Jesus.

In the new romantic comedy Wanderlust, actress Jennifer Aniston drinks ayahuasca for the first time.  In just a few years, the once secret “shamans brew” of the Amazon has snaked its way into the popular consciousness, including the entertainment industry. But the question lies: can Hollywood portray this medicinal, psychonautic elixir with the maturity and complexity necessary to address its multifaceted experiences?

If you're on the West Coast, come celebrate the release of my debut book The Electric Jesus: The Healing Journey of a Contemporary Gnostic. These gatherings will feature aliens, ayahuasca, and chakra activations -- oh my!

A believer in the power of numbers, I am reaching out to Evolver friends and allies for a Kickstarterish campaign to help me bring The Electric Jesus to Spores across the US and Canada. The Bible Belt is depending on you!

“People have this tinfoil-spacesuit, 1950s idea of aliens, but the beings I saw were galactic bohemians, David Bowie–like art stars, flamboyantly androgynous healers, and outrageous alchemists. A lot of them had really cool tattoos. They come from advanced societies that have synthesized art and science, so they know how to have a good time."

“Had you told me a few years ago that I’d be here in Austin tonight talking with all of you about Jesus, aliens, and ayahuasca, I would have laughed my ass off.  As a cynical secular materialist, I scoffed at anything mystical.  I thought only direct political action made any real change in the world.  As you may have guessed, that perspective has been turned on its head.” 

Evolver co-founder Jonathan Talat Phillips invites you to celebrate the release of his new book, The Electric Jesus: The Healing Journey of a Contemporary Gnostic with special guests Alex and Allyson Grey and Reverend Billy. (NYC, Nov. 15).

Many healers and seekers prefer the “spiritual bypass” when it comes to addressing anger.  But anger is a lot like fire.  Yes, it can burn and destroy, but it can also serve as an extraordinary evolutionary gift. Anger is power, personal power, and when merged with love, it can give us strength to do things we never would have imagined.

This month join Evolvers from over 40 cities explore the power that arises when spirituality and activism unite. (September 15th)

After writing an RS article about the psychopathic defenses of U.S. power structures, it hit me that our mass population may have a reactionary personality type to our nation’s overarching one.  If so, according to Bioenergetic therapy, millions of Americans might suffer from masochism.  If so, what can we do about it?
