Interview | Swami Sarvapriyananda
December 29, 2021 17:31 - 1 hour - 108 MBJoin Swami Sarvapriyananda for a deep and vast dive into the world of Advaita Vedanta, and its relationship to Vedanta, Tibetan Buddhism, and Kashmir Shaivism. Swami-ji shares what he has learned from Buddhism, and how emptiness relates to pure consciousness. Is the no-self of Buddhism the same as the irreducible Self of Hinduism? Is reality on a sliding-scale, or does it eventually bottom out? Why is the dream analogy so central to Advaita Vedanta, and what role do dreams play in this tradi...
Interview | Dr. Tucker Peck
December 28, 2021 00:46 - 1 hour - 140 MBJoin sleep expert and meditation teacher Tucker Peck Phd as we cascade through a host of very practical tips around sleep disorders and how to manage them. Much of the interview is centered around insomnia, and treatments like CBTi, but we also talk about the importance of sleep hygiene, how to work with jet lag, the place of sleep supplements like melatonin, the danger of prescription sleep drugs, the problem with artificial light, and how meditation does – or doesn’t – fit into sleep disord...
Interview | Charlie Morley
December 28, 2021 00:46 - 1 hour - 158 MBJoin noted author and lucid dreaming expert Charlie Morley and I as we take a wide-ranging romp into the world of dream yoga and lucid dreaming. From the top induction methods, to shadow work, to healing, to working with discouragement, to the placebo effect – this is one rich and fun interview. Charlie’s passion is infectious, and his deep knowledge and even deeper experience quite impressive. This man walks the talk, and I now see why he’s the leading teacher on these nocturnal practices i...
Interview | Robert Waggoner [1 of 2]
December 28, 2021 00:46 - 1 hour - 118 MBIn this delightful interview you’ll get a taste for why Robert Waggoner is one of the leading voices of lucid dreaming in the West. For over forty years Robert has logged over 1000 lucid dreams, and the stories he shares are just amazing. This interview reveals the spirit of proper sharing, and why our discussion forum is integral to Night Club. Robert fearlessly and generously talks about dream events that “cracked open my world,” and led him to deep psycho-spiritual growth. So much of what ...
Interview | Ken Wilber [2 of 2]
December 28, 2021 00:46 - 1 hour - 217 MBIn Part 2 of my interview with Ken Wilber we return to his personal journey, emphasizing the place of the nocturnal meditations on his path. We then discuss the irreducible instruction on the spiritual path (and the little known secret to attaining lucidity), and the affective or emotional aspect of what it is like to “wake up.” What does that actually feel like, how can we identify it? We then talk about what being fully realized has to include, and the limitations of “partial enlightenment”...
Interview | Dr. Nevin Arora
December 28, 2021 00:46 - 1 hour - 137 MBJoin Andrew and sleep specialist Nevin Arora, MD for a thorough look at the critical importance of sleep – and how to get it. The jury is in: the shorter you sleep, the shorter you live. You don’t snooze, you lose. Dr. Arora shares a host of tips from his clinical practice, including gems about optimal sleep hygiene, how to work with insomnia, as well as the importance of daylight and the damaging effects of artificial light. Falling asleep requires becoming “undone,” and as “human doings” ...
Interview | Dr. Judson Brewer
December 28, 2021 00:46 - 1 hour - 115 MBJoin Andrew and Dr. Judson Brewer as they take a close look at the nuts-and-bolts of addiction, and how it relates to non-lucidity. Judson shares the recent work of his lab, and the neuroscience that helps us understand how we get hooked into virtually anything, including our dreams.
Interview | Ryan Hurd [1 of 2]
December 28, 2021 00:46 - 53 minutes - 99 MBThis interview with noted researcher, author, and veteran lucid dreamer Ryan Hurd covers a wide range of fascinating material. Part One discusses the “archeology of consciousness,” and what Ryan refers to as the Paleolithic Mind. We talk about polyphasic cultures that honor dreams, and the limitations of our monophasic view that colonizes and dismisses states of consciousness it can’t fully experience. The conversation then turns to some of the shadow sides of lucid dreaming, Ryan’s expertise...
Interview | Robert Waggoner [2 of 2]
December 28, 2021 00:46 - 1 hour - 125 MBIn Part Two of my conversation with Robert Waggoner we discuss his “go-to” methods for inducing lucidity, which in addition to the wake-and-back-to-bed method is largely about creating a lucid mindset. Robert shares his advice for how to work with discouragement, and suggests being “playfully persistent,” relating to the entire lucidity project as a game. In other words, lighten up, relax and have fun -- “Loosen up dude.” Take a break. We talk about the importance of honoring and valuing our ...
Interview | Robert Thurman
December 28, 2021 00:46 - 1 hour - 171 MBJoin Andrew and Professor Robert Thurman in a wide-ranging discussion starting with a “state of the union” address about the status of Buddhism in the West, and the place of Tibetan or Tantric Buddhism. Are we ready for these subtle spiritual technologies – which include dream yoga and bardo yoga? Are the recent scandals an indication that we are not? The conversation turns to the “neuromania” sweeping over Buddhism and science, and the danger of reductionism in both disciplines. Dr. Thurman ...
Interview | Jennifer Dumpert
December 28, 2021 00:46 - 1 hour - 197 MBJoin Andrew and author Jennifer Dumpert in a lively discussion about Liminal Dreaming, that twilight zone of consciousness between waking and dreaming. Also known as the hypnogogic-hypnopompic state, liminal dreaming is a fascinating state where the boundaries of ego dissolve, and the mind enters a playground of transformation. Watching how the ego falls apart in this unglued state helps us understand how it comes together as we get back online in the waking state – and glue the narrative of ...
Interview | Ben Williams
December 28, 2021 00:46 - 1 hour - 185 MBJoin Andrew and Ben Williams for a dazzling overview of the main schools of Hinduism, emphasizing Advaita Vedanta, Saiva Tantra and Kashmir Saivism. Discover where the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali fit in, and classic Sankhya Philosophy. Learn about deity principle, and an inner look at the power of mantra.

Interview | Ian Baker
December 28, 2021 00:46 - 1 hour - 198 MBJoin anthropologist and intrepid explorer Ian Baker for an exploration of the mysterious world of the “hidden lands,” or beyul. These extraordinary places are geographical power points where mindscape and landscape merge, and where spiritual practice is accelerated. “Here you can accomplish in one day what would otherwise take a year.” Dreamlike in nature, and absolutely mind-bending in essence, these terrestrial pure lands are an ineffable interworld between mind and nature. Here facets of t...

Her approach is resonant with the tantric or alchemical traditions, where obstacles are opportunities in disguise. The worse the nightmare, the greater the transformative potential. We talk about what caus...
