Moving Towards Light 8/4/15 - Lets Talk About S-X

Good evening, fellow seekers, and welcome to Moving Towards Light, a forum where we discuss and provide some hard earned insight relating to our own explorations of the many roads and methods which promise to lead us to the ultimate answer: a higher purpose, the meaning of life. Tonight, let's talk about s*x!   While more Puritanical forces tend to dissociate body and spirit, the fact is that man is a complex entity, with physical, mental/emotional and spiritual needs intricately intertwined.  Many religions and more enlightened seekers recognize this, some more openly and directly than others. But is there as simple a formula as schtupping your way to nirvana?  We've touched on the existence (and feasibilty) of tantra and s*xual magic but what does that imply, and more importantly, what does it mean to you? Plus our usual tangenital flow of thought and transference of deep knowledge and esoteric wisdom...regular listeners know the score! For all those frustrated in their quest, who've been through various stops on the spectrum of spirituality and found them ultimately unfulfilling: Join hosts "Doc" Savage and Janna (the "Esoteric Mom") as we share both hard learned lessons and thoughts on potential new directions in the quest, on our journey towards light.

Weird Scenes Inside the Goldmine 7/30/15 - Muchas Gracias, Senor Naschy

Welcome to Weird Scenes Inside the Goldmine - your essential guide to all things wild and wonderful in the world of cult entertainment! This week, we'll be talking El Senor Lobo himself, the legendary Jacinto Molina Alvarez, better known by his chosen nom du guerre, Paul Naschy! Laughed at and ignored in his native Spain, former bodybuilder and professional strongman competitor Naschy pursued his childhood love of Universal horror throughout the 1970's under an oppressive fascist regime, forced to film in both sadly bowlderized "censor" versions for hometown screenings and in far superior "unclothed and bloody" international ones for the rest of us, to little acclaim. Despite succumbing to a certain notable measure of bitterness over the years, Naschy's pulpy, naive, art brut contemporary homages to such classic horror figures as Dracula, the mummy, mad scientists, hunchbacked manservants and especially the figure of the werewolf have endeared him to generations of "monster kids" who encountered his films on such forums as WOR's Fright Night, as well as the VHS and DVD releases of numerous (though sadly far from all) of his works. Join us as we talk devil worship, cannibals, psychotic women, mad templars, yetis, zombies, evil gurus, sinister inquisitors, vampires and of course werewolves, only here on Weird Scenes Inside the Goldmine! hosts "Doc" Savage and Louis Paul

Weird Scenes Inside the Goldmine 7/23/15 - Hammer, House of Horror

Welcome to Weird Scenes Inside the Goldmine - your essential guide to all things wild and wonderful in the world of cult entertainment! This week, we'll be talking the mighty Hammer films! Critically derided and viewed as sordid for their emphasis on (for the time) gruesome horror and sexuality, Hammer Films rose from a no-budget film noir and Hitchcock knockoff concern to one of the most recognizable and universally beloved producers of gothic horror! Driven by regular airings on syndicated television throughout the 1960s-1980s, Hammer, alongside its classic Hollywood predecessors at Universal, practically singlehandedly spawned the "monster kid" generation who drove the fanzine and DVD revolution we're still reaping the benefits of to this day, not to mention revitalizing and inspiring interesting copycat concerns throughout the previously moribund British film industry throughout the 1970s. Join us to see just how far we can get through the vast Hammer filmography before the clock runs down... Drop in for a spell, and join hosts "Doc" Savage and Louis Paul as we dig deep into the rich vein of cult cinema, music and television, right here on Weird Scenes inside the Goldmine!

Moving Towards Light 7/21/15 - The Cult of You

Good evening, fellow seekers, and welcome to Moving Towards Light, a forum where we discuss and provide some hard earned insight relating to our own explorations of the many roads and methods which promise to lead us to the ultimate answer: a higher purpose, the meaning of life. Tonight we're talking The personal Cult of Janna. Are you the founder of your own religion?  You should be!   As an individual seeker, eschewing the blind faith and sheeplike adherence to an established religion, authority or rulebase, you will therefore have to establish and justify your own spiritual practice(s) through the filter of your brain.  So are you serious about leading yourself?  And how does one walk their own path in spirit and in truth without turning into a megalomaniac?   Plus our usual tangenital flow of thought and transference of deep knowledge and esoteric wisdom...if you've been with us for the last six shows, you know the score! For all those frustrated in their quest, who've been through various stops on the spectrum of spirituality and found them ultimately unfulfilling: Join hosts "Doc" Savage and Janna (the "Esoteric Mom") as we share both hard learned lessons and thoughts on potential new directions in the quest, on our journey towards light.

Moving Towards Light 7/14/15 - the reconciliation of opposites

Good evening, fellow seekers, and welcome to Moving Towards Light, a forum where we discuss and provide some hard earned insight relating to our own explorations of the many roads and methods which promise to lead us to the ultimate answer: a higher purpose, the meaning of life. Tonight we're taking it back to basics! As discussed in the promo and dating way back to our very first episode, we're dialing things back to the core dichotomy cum union of the "male" vs the "female" approach to spirituality. Yin and yang, the patriarchy vs the goddess, "bright" and "dark", the sword and the chalice, pleasure and pain. Ostensibly, each of these is an "equal but opposite".  But are they truly mutually exclusive, or even two sides of the same coin? Plus our usual tangenital flow of thought and transference of deep knowledge and esoteric wisdom...if you've been with us for the last five shows, you know the score! For all those frustrated in their quest, who've been through various stops on the spectrum of spirituality and found them ultimately unfulfilling: Join hosts "Doc" Savage and Janna (the "Esoteric Mom") as we share both hard learned lessons and thoughts on potential new directions in the quest, on our journey towards light
