Welcome to the Psychedelic Conversations Podcast!

Episode 142:

In this episode, we dive deep into the intersection of philosophy, spirituality, and the transformative potential of psychedelics. Together, we explore ancient traditions like Zoroastrianism and their seamless integration of psychedelic practices, contrasting them with Western struggles rooted in religious and cultural frameworks. We discuss profound themes such as the mother contract, the Black Widow archetype, and the challenges these dynamics create in shaping masculinity and femininity in modern society. Alexander Bard shares his insights on how distorted maternal archetypes contribute to toxic masculinity and femininity, and why breaking free from these contracts is vital for both personal and collective healing. Additionally, we delve into the transformative role of psychedelics in confronting deep-seated traumas, fostering self-awareness, and resetting societal norms. This raw and challenging conversation invites deep reflection on the complexities of human nature, spirituality, and our connection to community.

Join us in unpacking these vital topics, and share your thoughts in the comments—let's keep the conversation going!

About Alex:

Alexander Bard is a philosopher, artist, songwriter and music producer, author of six books with Jan Söderqvist, living in Stockholm, Sweden. Bard built his career as a philosopher in parallel with a highly successful 25-years-plus career in the international music industry. Bard & Söderqvist's philosophy concentrates on the relationship between human beings and technology, using human beings as the constant throughout civilization, with technology as the ever faster changing variable. Their work takes inspiration from thinkers like Hegel, Nietzsche, Whitehead, Deleuze, and Eastern philosophy and spirituality, in the latter case adding Persia to the well known triad of India, China and Japan. They are convinced philosophy will be the last human activity to ever be affected by AI.
