In this episode, Mr Lens apologises for the fact that the Climate Camp episode did not materialise. He then reads an email from Uratsukodoji, who he knows from the Psychonautilus forum, who gives his feeback to last week’s Regent’s Park Roamcast.

This is followed by a long awaited interview with KMO of the C-Realm podcast, which was recorded, ironically on September 11 2009. Opaque and KMO chat briefly about 911 before the conversation goes onto other topics including the negative implications of suburban spawl, the rave era, drug ignorance in the US and UK including urine tests in offices, shamanism in the West and the Tribal countries, etc.

In the aftermath Opaque announces that next week will be an Autumn Equinox Special with a poem from Matthew Holbrook.

In this episode, Mr Lens starts the programme on location in Brockley Stone Circle, Hilly Fields, south London, which was built in 2000 by the Millennium Commission, which is an appropriate location as this week is Autumn Equinox, and Opaque goes into detail about that before a segway into a poem read by Matthew Holbrook. This is followed by reading a backlog of emails.

After a song break Opaque re emerges back in the studio to discuss a range of topics including Islam being a religion created by field uplink, and talks about a time when two veiled muslim girls told him that the end of the world would be a Friday, which lead him to discover that Winter Solstice 2012 is a Friday! Concidence?

Opaque then mentions that he and Anna may be going to a lecture by Chris Street, which was mentioned in one of the emails he read out, and the topic would be sacred sights in London, and that the following week he would go back to the October Gallery, hopefully arming himself with interesting future podcast material.

Music by Ozric Tentacles (again!) and Peter Murphy.

In this episode, Mr Lens starts by thanking this weeks donors and reading a few emails including one from a Muslim listener from Turkey, who responded positively to Opaque’s theory of Islam being created by field uplink, and one from long time listener Sharon, who asks Mr Lens to do a scouse impression during the email. Let’s hope she likes it!

This week’s interview is with Phil Mainwaring, who listeners may recognise from the second half of the Solstice podcast earlier this year. Topics covered include the moon landing - whether it was a hoax or not; free energy and the oil cartel, and water powered cars; and Anna joins the discussion with Phil to talk about the science concerning the Large Hadron Collider and mini black holes.

Music by The Incredible String Band.

This episode is a milestone in Shamanic Freedom Radio history as Mr Lens introduces his first female guest since Roxanne Meadows, namely Christina Oakley-Harrington, wicca priestess and founding director of Treadwell's Bookshop in Covent Garden.

Her talk focuses on three primary groups of the alternative perception orientated people - the pagans, the ecologists and the shamanic people, looking at their similarities and differences, and the struggles they have dealing with the ‘other’ (mainstream) lot.

She talks about frolicking naked on the Sussex Downs howling at the moon(!), how she prefers coffee to herbal tea, and how she likes cities because of the amount of misfits that couldn’t live in the suburbs. Unfortunately due to the microphone used, the question and answers session had to be omitted due to the questions being off mic.

To wrap up, Mr Lens plugs the relaunched Shamanic Freedom psychedelic library which has a link on this podcast’s front page.

Music by Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd.

In this Episode, Mr Lens thanks Rick for his donation and reads his email in which he asks Opaque advice about how timid new podcasters should start.

Opaque then introduces a talk by today’s guest Todd Routt which is about astral projection, bringing Shamanic Freedom Radio into a new esoteric realm. The talk begins with Todd explaining about the different vibrational dimensions of existence, and how “going out of your body” actually means raising your vibration until you enter a thought-responsive dimension in which you can move about easily and instantly. He illustrates this with many of his own or other peoples experiences. He talks about the existence of “non physical humans” which he depicts as people being in denial of their own death, clinging onto this life. During the talk, Todd urges people not to take what he is saying at face value, but to do their own research.

For those interested in venturing from the shamanic to the astral, visit Todd’s site at www.journeyoftruth.co.uk.

As the show approaches the end, Mr Lens elaborates on Lorenzo’s theory of Human Bifurcation as it strikes a chord with him, too, that the human race may be becoming two distinct and separate subspecies. Emails welcome on this theory!

Music by David Bowie and Yes.
