In this episode, Ben and Jamal explore the tension between simping and stoicism—two modern archetypes that reflect how men relate to desire, emotion, and self-mastery. They unpack what it means to crave feminine validation, how to cultivate inner wholeness without repression, and where spirituality fits into masculine development. Through discussions of Jung’s anima, pseudo-stoicism, and emotional regulation, they trace a path from neediness to noble composure—where love becomes fuel for purpose rather than a substitute for it.

Episode Description: In this episode, Ben and Jamal explore psychic self-defense—how to protect your mind, emotions, and energy in an age of unseen influences. They discuss the aura as the body’s “second skin,” the difference between real and pseudo-healing, and why cultivating virtue is the ultimate shield. From Dion Fortune’s classic framework to Omraam Aïvanhov’s teachings on light, they break down environmental, interpersonal, and subconscious forms of psychic pollution, energy vampirism, and emotional possession. The conversation closes with practical methods for purification, grounding, and invoking the Christ principle to radiate clarity in a chaotic world.

Ben Goldsun & Jamal Maroon discuss healthy character development, understanding the psyche and persona, and how to level up in Life with balanced relational feedback versus a social shortsightedness.

Episode Description: Ben and Jamal dive into one of the century’s biggest questions—can AI help or hinder human evolution? They unpack how artificial intelligence mirrors both our intellect and our spiritual blind spots, exploring its potential to free us from labor while risking psychic atrophy and loss of intuition. From Omraam Mikhael Aïvanhov’s warnings about technology serving lower desires, to Rudolf Steiners Arhimanic commentary on technology worship and hyper materialism, to Jung’s insights on meaning and the soul, they examine how AI could trigger a global identity crisis—and why that discomfort might be the very pressure that pushes humanity toward higher consciousness, creativity, and genuine self-mastery.
