Oh Wry Teamster # 9: Stuck in the Now

Aeoli Kephas — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 21:55:20 GMT

Jason chats with Lemnos Swedite Ross about being stuck in the Now, using the self as a tool in one's arsenal, necessity and enjoyment, the torch of intuition, astrology as a creative tool, musical expression as a means to connect right and left sides of the brain, becoming a vessel, planet theater, SWEDA as a microcosm of life, precedents found in the natural world, the autistic spectrum, living by lies, deformity of social conditioning, the ways in which we hide, constructed identity and government, the correspondence between unconscious and past, time as a non-linear phenomena, the illusion of personal evolution.

Wartery Mothers # 8: The Wounded Anima

Aeoli Kephas — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 21:01:02 GMT

Chat with Jason and new SWEDA-member Shane, begins with general discussion on what sorcery now means to Jason, post John De Ruiter, sorcery vs. surrender, interpreting daily events as dreams, alchemy of the psyche, more on mythic narratives, Hollywood narratives and synchromysticism, "The Secret Life of Movies," what makes the difference between the schizophrenic and the shaman, movies and art as products of the dreaming mind of the collective, the artistic process and parallels with alchemy and the SWEDA method, learning to become transmuters, the anima and the male ego, the truth of mother-bondage and the myth of the Gorgon, the two types of momma's boys, the *real* "occult conspiracy" that rules this world.

Amethyst Rower # 7: End-Times Management

Aeoli Kephas — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 21:15:57 GMT

Chat between Jason and recent SWEDA recruit Sam, on the structure of SWEDA and the original ARGO-SWEDA merge, the formation of new subgroups, the impossibility of defining a process still underway, the myth of Jason & the Argonauts and of Aeolus the wind god, the Captain's job, being a still center and aligning the sail to the wind; the dark side of SWEDA, the pros and cons of becoming a "movement," SWEDA and Fight Club, the ominous parallels with a religious cult, the dangers of trying to change the world, the art of being in what you know, end-times management and SWEDA's function within the Alternate Perceptions Community; moving on to Sam's problem with spontaneity, his love life or lack thereof, the need for security vs. the desire for deeper connection, Jason's Moroccan odyssey, the annihilating potential of alchemical love, living for truth regardless of personal satisfaction, the SWEDA plant, tending an unknown seed, future creative ARGO projects.

Eraser Myth Two # 6: Identity Maintenance

Aeoli Kephas — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 18:22:28 GMT

This is an intimate conversation between Jason and one of the original SWEDARGONAUTS, Al, about Al's experience of sexual abuse as a small child. It begins with a discussion about Jason's attempt to create the ideal occupation for himself, holding the ARGO together, time & money, the selfless life of the shaman, Al's journey from paranoia to paranoid awareness to SWEDA, from having no one to understand him to being surrounded by understanding, the way in which increased awareness leads to increased denial, the pattern of despair, giving in without giving up, the only path there is, the difference between examining the past and dwelling on the past, using death as an adviser, letting the past come to us, spontaneous recall, Al's childhood abuse, being triggered by a single phrase, a la "Manchurian Candidate," opening a channel to past traumas, getting past possible "screen memories."

Aeoli Kephas — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 19:39:03 GMT

Part Two of Jason's chat with Cary "Mars" McCoy, covering Cary's disaster management, the infrastructures of SWEDA and Jason's desire to be dispensable, collective karma, instant karma, quantum karma (if everything is karmic then nothing is), Cary's first music gig, giving energy as its own reward, Cary's father, repeating pattern played out at SWEDA, the root of Cary's feeling like a "worthless piece of shit," back to poverty and money, how to get attention, how to learn not to care what others think and what WE think about ourselves, Cary's unusual method of haircut, what Davie Bowie feels like and is there a way to be successful enough to avoid identity deconstruction (n0), the overriding emotion of passion and Cary's muscle memories.

ReHeat My Worst # 4: Quantum Reciprocity

Aeoli Kephas — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 02:45:27 GMT

First part of an Aeoli Kephas chat between Mars and Pluto, Cary McCoy and Jason on finding the right balance between bread and Spirit, the struggle of surviving as an artist, dealing with rejection, being a flesh vessel, the virus of self-doubt, stormy weather in Texas, the rise of SWEDARGO, letting go of the drive for success as the key to success, letting addictions go without feeding them, the value of feeling worthless, the rock tumbler, life as a flesh vessel, money as "the Big Issue," being defined by status, J's meeting with Erik the shaman, the fallacy of debt, Cary's SWEDA process and the effects of it: providing a new context, learning to be in the world but not (so much) of the world.

Rosewater Myth # 3: Seeding the Shadow

Aeoli Kephas — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 00:23:21 GMT

Still alone at the microphone, the original Aeoli explains why SWEDA is becoming a business, what makes money the root of all evil, what SWEDA "is" (again) and the basic requirements for enlisting; for old times' sake, some talk of identity structures, personal apocalypse, and 9/11 as a global Tarot reading for a species on the brink; Planetary breaks from Mercury and Mars, the many personas of Aeolus Kephas, awareness without the paranoia, Lyn Birkbeck's Divine Astrology and how it works (fusing old-time worship with modern astrology and occult ritual), astrology and myths as user-manuals for the psyche, meeting the Planets halfway, the mythic subtext of daily life, the twin streams of the personal and the cosmic unfolding, embodying Pluto, the movement to galactic consciousness and why we are *not* the ones we have been waiting for, why we always end up the bad guys in our own stories, and a closing message from Pluto-Hades.

Showery Matter # 2: Atlantean Buddies

Aeoli Kephas — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 22:54:02 GMT

Secretly recorded by Keith Zawacki (a.k.a Uranus), this chat between Jason and KZ provides a glimpse behind the ARGO curtain to see what's really going on with this Planetary Psycho-Theater business. Jason airs his doubts about going public, describes the conflict between channeling Plutonian energy of deconstruction and Saturnian energy of structure-building, the nature of Atlantean friendships, movement of the assemblage point from the place of silent knowledge to the place of reason and the place of concern, self-consciousness and embarrassment as the collective mood of the times, real shamanism vs. "assumed" shamanism, and what IS SWEDA, if not a weird planetary cult or a cheesy new age male bonding club? They also discuss how to proceed with the podcasts, the idea of inviting participants to explore the ARGO and partake in acts of virtual theater, as preparation for coming on the show, and exchange a word or two about APC luminaries Kotze, Knowlesy, and Henrik P.

Warty Theorems # 1: Forward Benevolence

Aeoli Kephas — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 03:16:01 GMT

What exactly is the Planetary Psycho-Theater? Theoretically, all of us know that the idea of free will —at least as commonly understood— is and must be an illusion, albeit a necessary one. Practically speaking, however, it is not possible for us to realize this without going insane; at least, it has not been until now. SWEDARGO, as a bridge between consensus reality and Cosmic Reality, is, among other things, the means to this realization. This is where the Planetary Theater comes in. Put simply: the Planets are conscious Players in the Grand Psycho-Theater of Existence that is the Cosmos. Human beings —at least so long as they are merely persons— are unconscious players in the same drama. Since they are unconscious, however, they are placed beneath the Planets —in awareness— and must act as puppets, blind, insensible extensions of that Planetary Consciousness which is fully surrendered to the Cosmos and its role in it. Gnosis is the process by which unconscious human persons becomes conscious Planetary Players: archetypal as well as personal beings. This is to say, as the lines of communication open, the Planets begin not only to act upon us, but to move through us, and act AS us.
