Eden: Trouble in Paradise

Jonathan Phillips

[The Electric Jesus] • Could the fable of the Garden of Eden be at the root of the titanic problems facing our world? Looking for a "Galileo-type paradigm shift" that could rectify the mess we're in, I found it on my thirtieth birthday. But was I ready for my entire life to turn upside-down? (more)

Gnosis: The Not-So Secret History of Jesus

Jonathan Phillips

[The Electric Jesus] • Christianity originated in mystery schools where the rites of baptism, annointing, communion, and resurrection led initiates on a sacred path to inner knowing. But a sadistic emperor, literalist churches and 2,000 years of bad translations have covered up the origins of the greatest story yet to be told. (more)

Fear and Renewal in A Western Shoshone Sweat

Jonathan Phillips

I overcame my greatest fears in a Western Shoshone sweat lodge during a protest against the Nevada Nuclear Test Site. Over 1,000 nuclear devices have been detonated above and below this land, making it the most bombed nation in the world. Now the Longest Walk 2 brings new attention to the environmental protection of this sacred place. (more)

Waking Up After Dreaming: The First Evolver Event

Jonathan Phillips

On Saturday night Reality Sandwich had its first major event, Evolver: Wake Up and Dream, produced in partnership with Jivamukti Yoga School. I'm RS's Community Director, and now two days later I have nearly caught up on sleep and regained my voice. I want to express my thanks. I'd also like to share some of the intentions, inspiration, collaborations, problems, and magic that went into producing what was a remarkable event – in some ways staggeringly successful, while in others challenging and instructive.

The Day We Died-In

Jonathan Phillips

[The Electric Jesus] • With The New York Times reporting that 121 murders have been committed by US soldiers who have returned from Iraq and Afghanistan, I've been thinking back to the gutsiest and most foolish political action I ever did and how it gave me an unexpected mystical understanding of what it actually means to be a country at war.

Enlightenment: The Next Step in Evolution?

Jonathan Phillips

[The Electric Jesus] • In this podcast, a dose of ayahuasca, dancing DNA strands, and a lotus flower ride have my spirit guides answering the question I've always wanted to know: "It's true; humans can become enlightened. In fact you already are... Now it's time to remember." Is enlightenment really possible or is it a cosmic carrot to grab for? As always, I'd love to hear your personal experiences and stories on the subject. PLAY PODCAST
