Thanks for tuning in! This week on Black Hoodie Alchemy, we're taking a break from the intense rabbit holes of research involving extra-sensory perception, parapsychology, outlier physics and so much more. That's right, this week you're getting another surrealist comedic break from reality with the return of Jeff Mamba - Mind Jockey (AKA Steve Buschemi AKA Jefferson Tillamookslinger AKA Shnelius Maximus)!

Being a self proclaimed 'classy movie critic', Jeff sits down with returning-guest Justin Otto to give an in-depth, metaphysically minded movie review of the cult-classic movie ⁠DONNIE DARKO⁠ (the director's cut, to be exact.) We here at Black Hoodie Alchemy are all fans of the movie, and it seems fitting that it should be bundled into the pre-100th-episode-celebration!

For those that don't know, Jeff Mamba is colleagues with Tippy Patson - the Redneck Mystic Extraordinaire - who is the founder of the The League of Extrodniary Gents. This 'League' is a group of various drugged out conspiracy theorists camped out in the Everglades, and trained in the art of 'gator wrasslin'. They're also convinced that these gators are actually the shapeshifting shadow elite known as the Illuminati, and that's just the tip of the iceberg with all of their beliefs. For instance, Jeff Mamba himself is a self proclaimed 'former Illuminati cloning-lab manager from Newark, New Jersey.'

If you're looking for more from these wild characters, don't forget to check out the Black Hoodie Alchemy Youtube and tiktok for more ridiculous content related to them, and you can look through the BHA episode feed for more of their appearances, or this link here for starters! Not to mention every BHA episode break.

All hail The League of Extordniary Gents!

Welcome back to Black Hoodie Alchemy! This week, to help supplement what we've been talking about on this show lately, I share with you my most recent appearance on the 'Juan on Juan' podcast (and one of the few guest spots I've had the time to do this year). If you didn't hear my first chat with Juan, you can check that out right here too!

I share with Juan some of my favorite research as of late, talking to him more about heuristic comparative religion, evolutionary psychology, dreams, trance states, and the pineal gland; as well as The Goblin Universe, exorcisms and the nervous system, demonology and Lovecraftian entities, the pan effect and wanderlust syndrome, the attempted exorcism of Loch Ness, Malachi York's hip-hop cult empire and so much more.

This week on Black Hoodie Alchemy, my cohort Seedperson1 and I build off of the discussions we've had in the last two episodes (shoutout to Chris Fiato!) as we dive into the history of modern parapsychology. What did these diligent scientists -- funded by the prestigious Duke University -- find out about extra-sensory perception over their decades of study?

Get your inner X-Man on this episode as we talk about people being tested in labs for telepathy, clairvoyance, remote viewing, telekinesis, and more! We also try and understand the distinctions between what one might call ESP and what one might call "mysticism" or "spiritualism" involving trance states.

It's a bit of psychology, statistics, sociology, pharmacology, chaos theory, maybe some quantum theory, a lot of Jungian and Hermetic sentiments, and so much more coming together this week as we dive down this historical rabbit-hole and sink our teeth into the meat of the data.

This week on Black Hoodie Alchemy, we are following up our conversation on synchronicity, with the cohort Chris Fiato jumping back in as well! Fronting the conversation topically, we are finishing our read of Seedperson's recommendation, Synchronicity: The Art of Coincidence, Choice & Unlocking Your Mind by Dr. Kirby Surprise.

Last week we talked a lot of chaos theory, chaos magick, and ideas about extra-sensory perception -- so we take these notions to help us dive further into the streams of thought found within quantum physics.

String theory, M and N Space, the Observer Effect, Many-Worlds Theory round out our quantum ideas, and we don't forget to talk about more fractal mathematics, chaos theory, magickal philosophy, plasma intelligence, and so much more! All of this to try to understand the practical implications of synchronicity -- oh, and of course we bring up some Carl Jung! But that's a given.

We hope you dig it.

This week on Black Hoodie Alchemy, Seedperson1 joins me with a book recommendation. Many years ago, he read a book that really opened his eyes to the practicality of magickal philosophy and metaphysics, a book that got him looking further and asking more questions. This work was Synchronicity: The Art Coincidence, Choice & Unlocking Your Mind by Dr. Kirby Surprise.

Using this book as an opportunity to look further at CG Jung's research and philosophy of the "synchronicity experience", we also find ample opportunity to discuss chaos theory and the magickal philosophies related to it, and really probe the idea of chance and statistics in metaphysics.

This also gives way to secondary topics like JB Rhine's parapsychology program at Duke University (founded in the early 20th century and persisting to this day) and even the CIA and their own declassified studies into parapsychology.

While it's not nearly as cut and dry as smooth-talking cult leaders would lead you to believe, we certainly hold more power in our psyches than modern science has fully understood yet. It's largely a matter of trying to separate the wheat from the chaff in a topic like this.

It's all this and more this week! We hope you dig it.
