  • Black Isis & Kali: Secrets of the Pythian Priestess Unleashed – The Dark Goddess Rises!

    Black Isis & Kali: Secrets of the Pythian Priestess Unleashed – The Dark Goddess Rises!
    May 1 2025
    Host: Jason Rigby Guest: Ashley M. Ryan (Pythian Priestess) Guest Bio: Ashley M. Ryan, known as Pythian Priestess, is an initiated priestess in a Hermetic Order dedicated to the Goddess Auset (Isis). With over half her life dedicated to studying and practicing magick and witchcraft, she rose to TikTok fame in 2019 and founded the Pythian Mystery School in 2020. Ashley is a spiritual leader, educator, and advocate for reclaiming the sacred feminine in its wholeness—light and shadow alike. Episode Overview: In this powerful and thought-provoking episode, Jason Rigby welcomes back Ashley M. Ryan, the Pythian Priestess, to discuss her evolving journey as a spiritual leader and the fierce, unapologetic nature of the divine feminine. Ashley shares her insights on sacred rage, the commodification of spirituality, and the importance of integrating the shadow self. Drawing from ancient archetypes like Black Isis, Kali, and the Black Madonna, she offers practical rituals and wisdom for women seeking wholeness in a world that often dilutes the sacred. The conversation explores themes of truth, resilience, and the balance of light and shadow, challenging the "love and light" narrative with a call to embrace the wild and transformative aspects of spirituality. Key Themes: 1. Sacred Rage and the Warrior Archetype Ashley steps into the "warrior archetype" as a woman, not to destroy, but to defend truth, the sacred, and the mysteries (01:40).She connects this to her astrological birth chart (Saturn and Mars in the sixth house), emphasizing service and discipline (01:40). 2. The Dilution of Spirituality Ashley expresses grief over the commodification of spirituality, watching it become a "branded ATM" rather than a transformative tool (02:35).She critiques spiritual bypassing and the avoidance of pain, especially post-LA fires (03:32). 3. The Dark Goddess and Wholeness Referencing Dancing in the Flames by Woodman and Dickinson, Ashley explains the absence of the dark goddess in modern society and its damaging effects (04:41).Archetypes like Kali, Black Isis, and the Black Madonna embody resilience, fierce love, and the integration of suffering (16:06, 20:00). 4. Thumos: The Spirited Fire of the Soul Ashley introduces the ancient Greek concept of Thumos—righteous anger that defends truth and honor—contrasting it with the "love and light" narrative (10:39).She ties this to Plato’s chariot allegory and the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot’s Chariot card, symbolizing balance between the soul’s appetites and higher aspirations (14:05). 5. Embracing the Shadow Ashley emphasizes that the shadow is not an enemy but a part of wholeness, urging listeners to alchemize pain into wisdom (33:50, 35:15).She shares a personal story of a nightmare at 15, revealing unexpressed rage and the unconscious mind’s role in healing (23:04). 6. Practical Rituals for Integration Ashley offers two rituals: mirror gazing with a candle to confront the soul (28:38) and scrying with a black bowl to uncover unhealed wounds (30:11).She stresses the importance of action post-ritual, such as therapy or inner child work (32:53). 7. Fear and the Occult Addressing fear around witchcraft and the occult, Ashley attributes it to societal conditioning and the rejection of feminine archetypes (42:16).She invokes Ma’at (balance and justice) as a source of boldness to face suffering and reclaim the sacred (40:42).

  • Unlock the Secret Language of Plants: A Spiritual Journey to Heal Yourself & the Planet

    Unlock the Secret Language of Plants: A Spiritual Journey to Heal Yourself & the Planet
    Apr 27 2025
    Host: Jason Rigby Guest: Pam Montgomery Guest Website: wakeuptonature.com Podcast Mission: Higher and Saint Living (HDL) aims to explore profound topics that elevate consciousness and foster a deeper connection to the world around us. In this episode, we dive into humanity’s relationship with nature and the transformative power of plants with Pam Montgomery. About Our Guest: Pam Montgomery Pam Montgomery is an author, teacher, international speaker, and self-described Earth Elder who has dedicated over three decades to exploring the intelligent and spiritual nature of plants and trees. She is the author of two acclaimed books: Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness and Partner Earth: A Spiritual Ecology. Her latest work, Co-Creating with Nature: Healing the Wound of Separation, serves as the foundation for this episode’s discussion. Pam operates the Partner Earth Education Center at Sweetwater Sanctuary in Danby, Vermont, a space dedicated to co-creative research and sustainable living with nature. She teaches globally on plant spirit healing, spiritual ecology, and the concept of humans as "Nature Evolutionaries." Pam is a founding member of United Plant Savers and the Organization of Nature Evolutionaries (O.N.E.), and her current passion lies in facilitating plant initiations to guide humanity back to its symbiotic roots. About Sweetwater Sanctuary Located in Danby, Vermont, Sweetwater Sanctuary is a sacred space where Pam and her team honor the land, water, and all beings through prayer, ceremony, and offerings. It’s a haven for optimal learning and deep healing, encouraging visitors to awaken to natural rhythms and engage in loving kindness. The sanctuary fosters a profound connection with nature, enhancing the sense of sanctuary for all who visit. Episode Overview In this episode of the HDL Podcast, host Jason Rigby sits down with Pam Montgomery to explore her book Co-Creating with Nature: Healing the Wound of Separation. Recorded on March 29, 2025, this conversation dives into the consciousness of plants, their role as our elders and partners, and how reconnecting with nature can heal both ourselves and the planet. Pam blends scientific insights, personal anecdotes, and spiritual wisdom to offer a practical yet profound roadmap for living in harmony with "sweet Lady Gaia." Key Discussion Points 1. Plants as Conscious Partners (03:12 - 06:46) Pam argues that plants are not just alive but conscious beings capable of communicating with us through vibratory resonance (light and sound).She emphasizes their essential role in sustaining life—providing oxygen, food, and medicine—and warns that our disconnect from them is dangerous.Jason references scientific studies showing plants responding to music and words, sparking a discussion on how everything vibrates, including humans and plants. 2. How to Communicate with Plants (06:46 - 13:14) Pam explains that plants fine-tune their resonance to us more effectively than we do to them because they are simply themselves, undistributed by human distractions.Practical tip: Be present with a plant, let it choose you (via attraction, movement, or intuition), and notice the sensations it evokes in your body (e.g., tingling, softness).She introduces biophotons—particles of light at the nucleus of our cells—that create a "laser" of coherence for two-way communication with plants, even across time and space. 3. Plant Initiations and Healing (13:14 - 18:06) Pam contrasts chasing external spiritual practices (e.g., gurus, crystals) with the power of "backyard weeds" like mugwort, which can heal us deeply through symbiotic connection.She shares a story of poke root appearing in her Vermont garden in 2020, a potent immune-supporting plant, as an example of nature responding to human needs.Plants show up where they’re needed, offering gifts we often overlook due to our lack of attention. 4. The Wound of Separation (19:11 - 22:22) Pam traces humanity’s separation from nature back 12,000 years to agriculture and empire-building, which led to an "amnesia" of our interdependence with the land.This original wound has cascading effects: separation from self, others, and the planet, resulting in widespread illness and disconnection.Biophilia—our innate love of nature—underscores how we’re designed to live closely with plants. 5. Uncomfortable Truths and Nature Evolutionaries (22:58 - 26:17) The biggest lie we tell ourselves: Humans are the "crown of creation" and more intelligent than nature. Pam challenges this, citing Darwin’s coerced narrative and nature’s model of cooperation over competition.On her website, wakeuptonature.com, Pam calls us to become "Nature Evolutionaries," partnering with nature rather than relying solely on technology to "save" the planet. 6. Nature’s Communication Networks (26:17 - 33:11) Pam shares a powerful story of a Puyo—an underground waterway ...

    The Secret Your Dog’s Been Hiding – Decode Their Soul in 5 Minutes!
    Apr 22 2025
    Host: Jason Rigby Guest: Elizabeth Anne Johnson, Animal Healer and Author Book: Know Your Dog’s True Nature: Understanding Canine Personality through the Five Elements (Findhorn Press/Inner Traditions Episode Overview In this enlightening episode of the HDL Podcast, host Jason Rigby welcomes Elizabeth Anne Johnson, an animal healer with nearly 40 years of experience and the author of Know Your Dog’s True Nature. Together, they explore the ancient Five Element Theory from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as a sacred map to understanding canine personalities and the profound spiritual bond between humans and dogs. From the soul-level pact forged centuries ago to the karmic mirroring of rescue dogs, this conversation unveils how our furry companions guide us toward healing, self-discovery, and a deeper connection to nature. Key Segments and Highlights Introduction (00:00 - 01:06) Jason’s Welcome: Jason introduces the episode with enthusiasm, highlighting Elizabeth’s book and its promise to decode the soul of dogs through the Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. He frames dogs as more than pets—sacred guides reconnecting us to our wild hearts.Elizabeth’s Greeting: Elizabeth expresses her excitement to join Jason and dive into this fun, spiritual exploration. The Ancient Soul Pact Between Humans and Dogs (01:06 - 04:47) Question: Jason references a poetic line from the book—“Dogs too have endured and thrived beside us as we have beside them”—and asks about the soul-level pact humans made with dogs centuries ago.Elizabeth’s Insight: She describes this pact as rooted in “kindred respect” between two natural beings—humans and dogs—meeting with curiosity and a sense of safety.Historically, dogs helped humans hunt and find food, while humans offered warmth, companionship, and protection. This 50-50 exchange has evolved into a modern pact where humans strive to hear dogs’ voices and honor their wild essence.Practical Tip: Elizabeth encourages letting dogs spend time outdoors to stimulate their senses, a nod to their feral roots, enhancing the bond and their happiness. The Five Elements: An Elemental Awakening (04:47 - 05:13) Jason’s Prompt: Quoting the book’s line about the Five Elements providing “X-ray vision” into a dog’s personality, Jason sets the stage for a deep dive into Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water, noting their dual role in understanding dogs and ourselves.Elizabeth’s Macro View: She frames the Five Element Theory as a 5,000-year-old, nature-based “mindful guidance system” fostering compassion, empathy, and understanding across species.Rooted in her personal journey—finding solace in nature amid a challenging childhood—the theory connects behaviors to natural cycles, offering a lens beyond mere archetypes. Exploring the Five Elements (05:13 - 39:09) 1. Wood Element: Spring and Growth (07:46 - 14:22) Overview: Associated with spring, Wood dogs are determined, purposeful “army sergeants” (e.g., Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds, Rottweilers) excelling as working dogs in military or police roles.Traits: Athletic, fearless, competitive, with a need for movement and direction. Their emotional default is anger, manifesting as aggression or frustration in dogs.Spiritual Angle: Jason probes the interplay of energies when Wood dogs’ growth isn’t guided. Elizabeth explains their energy seeks movement; without clear boundaries, they take over, reflecting a need for humans to lead with presence and heart-centered direction rather than force.Practical Tip: Set consistent boundaries and offer gentle praise (“good dog”) to channel their potential, avoiding overstimulation with excessive rewards. 2. Fire Element: Summer and Joy (14:22 - 22:32) Overview: Fire dogs embody summer’s joy, acting as magnetic “divas” (e.g., Golden Retrievers, Border Collies with red hues) who thrive on social connection and adoration.Traits: Charismatic, playful, prone to separation anxiety, with barking and licking as their sense expressions (tongue). Their emotional default is “disturbance of the Shen” (panic, anxiety) when overstimulated.Spiritual Angle: Fire’s heart-centric nature leaves lasting impressions, reflecting humanity’s draw to fire for warmth and memory-making. Elizabeth shares how these dogs linger in people’s hearts long after they’re gone.Practical Tip: Ground yourself and use the Yin Tang acupoint (between the eyebrows) to calm their heart fire, restoring balance during anxiety spikes. 3. Earth Element: Late Summer and Nurturing (22:32 - 24:50) Overview: Earth dogs, tied to late summer, are quintessential caregivers (e.g., Labs) who love family, kids, and routine, offering gentle, nurturing energy.Traits: Kind, generous, slow-moving, with a knack for service roles like Reading with Rover or disease detection. Their emotional default is worry or obsession.Spiritual Angle: Mirroring ...

  • Unfiltered Deep Dive into Emotional Intelligence with Dr. Audrey Schnell

    Unfiltered Deep Dive into Emotional Intelligence with Dr. Audrey Schnell
    Apr 14 2025
    Episode Overview In this unfiltered and dynamic episode of Higher Density Living, host Jason Rigby sits down with Dr. Audrey Schnell, an emotional intelligence expert with over 40 years of experience studying human behavior, self-sabotage, and personal transformation. With an M.A. in Clinical Psychology and a Ph.D. in Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Dr. Schnell brings a unique blend of science-backed insight and practical wisdom to the conversation. She’s spent decades helping clients—from entrepreneurs to everyday individuals—end self-sabotage, master their emotions, and unlock their potential. Together, Jason and Dr. Schnell dive into the messy truths of emotions, boundaries, and productivity, offering actionable strategies to turbocharge emotional intelligence and live a more intentional life. Guest Bio: Dr. Audrey Schnell Credentials: M.A. in Clinical Psychology, Ph.D. in Epidemiology and BiostatisticsExperience: Over 40 years researching why and how people changeMission: Enables clients to stop self-sabotage, eliminate emotional triggers, and achieve their goals by identifying blind spots and mastering emotionsImpact: Helps individuals and businesses build long-term relationships, turn difficult clients into success stories, and reach peak performanceAchievements: Featured speaker at retreats, frequent podcast guest, and founder of two successful online summits featuring 20+ top experts in healing and peak performancePersonal Life: Lives off-grid on 40 acres in rural West Virginia with her husband and dogsWebsite: audreyschnell.com Key Topics Discussed Boundaries: The Ultimate Power Move (00:36 - 06:51) Why We Struggle with Boundaries: Dr. Schnell explains that boundaries are less about others and more about self-care—what we’re willing to accept or not. Many fail to set them due to a need to be liked, hypervigilance, or fear of rejection.Practical Tip: For entrepreneurs, set time boundaries (e.g., no client texts at 6 a.m. unless it’s a true emergency). A simple automated response like “I’ve seen your message and will reply soon” can ease the pressure.Jason’s Insight: Entrepreneurs often get addicted to busyness, feeding off high cortisol levels and the need to feel wanted.Saying No to Good Things: Dr. Schnell highlights the challenge of rejecting appealing opportunities that derail focus—a lesson reinforced by Jason’s anecdote about a billionaire who mastered saying “no” to amazing offers. 2. Emotional Intelligence for Everyone (12:14 - 18:22) Underrated EI Skill: Empathy is the game-changer we’re sleeping on. It’s about understanding others’ feelings, not just feeling them (empathy vs. sympathy).Cultural Traps: Jason notes society’s victimhood obsession, asking how narcissists can develop empathy. Dr. Schnell debunks the overuse of “narcissist” labels and urges people to escape survival mode to unlock self-awareness and empathy.Practical Application: In relationships, aim to connect, not win. Start conversations from shared goals (e.g., “We both want to retire by 70”) and ask curious questions like “What made you say that?” instead of arguing. 3. The Science of Getting Things Done (09:15 - 11:41, 21:24 - 28:10) Dr. Schnell’s Journey: Her shift from clinical psychology to research (sparked by the rise of computers in the ‘80s) taught her discipline and the power of starting overwhelming projects.Fear of Finishing: People avoid completing projects due to fear of imperfection or uncertainty about “what’s next.” Dr. Schnell calls BS on perfectionism—it’s often avoidance or lack of commitment, not a noble trait.Discipline Equals Freedom: Procrastination stems from relying on urgency rather than motivation. Jason ties this to his own shift from fear-driven hustle to intentional discipline, noting it protects the nervous system. 4. Dumbest Emotional Traps and How to Escape (29:09 - 37:18) The Trap: Worry and selfishness top the list. Worry is “praying for the outcome you don’t want,” draining energy without purpose. Selfishness shows up when we obsess over ourselves instead of serving others (e.g., coaches fixating on client perceptions).Climbing Out: Take care of your nervous system first—hunger and fatigue amplify toddler-like meltdowns. Self-awareness is key: name your feelings (e.g., “I’m agitated”) to contain them, and don’t trust them as facts.Jason’s Take: Society’s feelings-obsession (especially among younger generations) reflects a pendulum swing from repression to indulgence, fueled by our brain’s energy-conserving wiring. 5. Decision-Making and Overthinking (38:58 - 44:26) Why We Overthink: Survival instincts overestimate task difficulty and underestimate post-task relief, stalling action. Visualization can trick the brain into thinking a job’s done, reducing motivation.Solutions: Set a timer for 15 minutes to start, lean on discipline over habits, and anchor decisions to ...

  • Weather, Consciousness, and the Might of Thoughts

    Weather, Consciousness, and the Might of Thoughts
    Apr 7 2025

    Introduction (0:04 - 0:41)

    • Opening Theme: The episode kicks off with the Higher Density Living Podcast intro, urging listeners to "look within" and explore the edge of seen and unseen realities with Alexander McCaig and Jason Rigby, focusing on consciousness and the human condition.

    Welcome and Weather Talk (0:42 - 7:15)

    • Host Greeting: Mark Snider welcomes listeners back to Ohio Exopolitics, noting a massive winter storm forecast to hit 30 U.S. states with heavy snow and cold—the worst in over a decade.
    • Guest Check-In: Alexander, in Santa Fe, expresses envy for the snow, citing its benefits for skiing, hiking, and water supply from the Sangre de Cristo mountains. Mark, in Ohio, anticipates 3-5 inches, potentially snowing him in.
    • Local Anecdote: Mark shares a recent guitar gig in Zanesville amid harsh weather, surprised by the turnout despite wind and cold. Alexander admits he avoids depressing news, unaware of the storm forecast.
    • Trump Tangent: Mark brings up Trump’s provocative ideas—reclaiming the Panama Canal (ceded by Jimmy Carter), acquiring Greenland, and annexing Canada as states. Alexander critiques this as hegemonic U.S. overreach, advocating for a quieter approach, echoed by Mark’s Bible quote (1 Thessalonians 4:11) about leading a simple life and minding one’s business.

    Weather Forecast Demo

    • Tech Experiment: Mark shares his screen to play a weather report, testing audio-visual integration. Alexander confirms he can see and hear it.
    • Weather Update: The forecast predicts heavy snow (6-19 inches) across Dayton, Cincinnati, Kansas City, and the mid-Atlantic (Maryland, D.C., Pennsylvania) by Monday, with residual rain and wind in Alabama and Nashville. Mark’s area faces 6 inches—manageable compared to harder-hit regions.
    • Cats in Comfort: Post-demo, Mark mentions his garage cats, kept warm at 60°F with wall-mounted heaters, prompting a lighthearted exchange about their spoiled nature.

    The Might of Thoughts:

    • Book Discussion: Mark shifts to Might of Thoughts (page 240), reading: “Human habits such as the maintenance of wrong thoughts… leave behind deep grooves in the consciousness, which must be slowly repaired.” He asks Alexander about these “grooves.”
    • Alexander’s Insight: Likening them to worn paths in the woods, Alexander explains that repeated unhealthy thoughts carve mental ruts, making change harder. Positive repetition, like chess or physics, builds beneficial pathways, staving off dementia.
    • Protesting Wildly: Mark highlights the passage’s note on “negative tendencies protest wildly.” Alexander compares this to noxious weeds—stubborn, requiring truth (like fire) to uproot them, leaving fertile ash for growth. Errors in reorientation, he adds, are natural steps toward wisdom.

    Law of Intactness

    • New Concept: Alexander directs Mark to page 272 (or nearby) for the “Law of Intactness,” describing it as a birthright of equilibrium—a blank slate of health and personality. Human choices (bad thoughts, habits) erode this, accelerating decay in bodies, ecosystems, and even metals (rust).
    • Reflection of Thought: He ties rust’s rapid spread to toxic human actions and mindsets, neglecting this law. Parents unwittingly pass these ruts to kids, amplifying the effort needed to restore balance.
    • Preserving Intactness: Mark asks how to maintain it. Alexander emphasizes self-awareness and controlling thoughts, not letting them dominate. Memorizing affirmations (e.g., “I am the master of my destiny”) pairs with physical work to forge wisdom.

    FIGU Trailer and Closing

    • Screen Share Redux: Mark shares a FIGU (Free Community of Interests Universal) trailer, introducing Billy Meier’s work—often met with skepticism online due to suppressed truths. The trailer stresses critical thinking over blind belief and the “secret sciences” stifled by power structures.
    • Reaction: Alexander appreciates the reminder of others pursuing truth, though the circle is small. Mark finds it inspiring amid their own efforts.
    • Transition Tease: Mark pivots to Omfalon Murado (OM), a book of commandments

    Themes Explored: Weather’s impact, human consciousness via Might of Thoughts, and the search for truth against systemic resistance.


    Next Episode Tease: Likely a deeper dive into OM and FIGU’s implications, plus Alexander’s take on preserving mental and planetary health.

  • Rudolf Steiner Unveiled: Secret Societies from Illuminati to Nazis – The Ahrimanic Plot Exposed

    Rudolf Steiner Unveiled: Secret Societies from Illuminati to Nazis – The Ahrimanic Plot Exposed
    Mar 31 2025
    Welcome back to Higher Density Living! In this captivating fourth (or fifth!) episode, co-host Jason Rigby is joined once again by the brilliant Dr. Eric Cunningham, a Professor of Philosophy at Gonzaga University and an expert in modern Japanese intellectual history, Zen Buddhism, Catholicism, psychedelia, and eschatology. Together, they dive deep into the mysterious world of secret societies through the lens of Rudolf Steiner’s profound teachings—a topic that bridges the physical and spiritual realms like never before. Dr. Cunningham, a former naval officer turned academic, shares his fascinating journey into Steiner’s esoteric philosophy, sparked in 1989 by a friend who introduced him to Knowledge of the Higher Worlds and Its Attainment. What followed was a decades-long exploration of Steiner’s vast body of work—over 70 books and hundreds of lectures—that seamlessly connects spirituality, history, and human evolution. As a practicing Catholic with a passion for Zen Buddhism and Asian mysticism, Cunningham brings a unique perspective to Steiner’s ideas, blending rigorous scholarship with metaphysical insight. In this episode, we explore Steiner’s views on secret societies—described as “lines of connection” between the material and spiritual worlds. From the Rosicrucians’ pursuit of conscious immortality to the Illuminati’s entanglement with Ahrimanic (materialistic) forces, Cunningham unpacks the distinction between societies seeking esoteric wisdom and those chasing temporal power. Steiner’s cosmic framework reveals a timeless struggle between “left-hand” and “right-hand” brotherhoods—rebellious spirits resisting divine evolution versus those embracing self-sacrificial love. We journey through history, examining how spiritual impulses, not just material causes, shaped events like the Renaissance and Industrial Age. Steiner’s radical perspective challenges conventional narratives, suggesting that the modern world’s obsession with “fitness over truth” (as echoed by Donald Hoffman) reflects the triumph of Ahrimanic forces. Cunningham also delves into the 19th-century esoteric revival—Freemasonry’s expansion, the Golden Dawn, and the OTO—connecting these movements to Steiner’s fifth post-Atlantean epoch and the karmic shifts of industrialization. The conversation takes a dark turn as we confront the Nazis’ suppression of esoteric groups like Steiner’s Anthroposophical Society, alongside their own occult obsessions (think Thule Society and Maria Orsic). Were these crackdowns a karmic backlash against Ahrimanic tendencies? And how do they tie into modern conspiracies like Operation Paperclip and the rise of technocrats like Wernher von Braun? Fast forward to 2025: Cunningham speculates on what Steiner would see in today’s world—AI, media consolidation, and geopolitical tension. Is artificial intelligence the ultimate Ahrimanic threat, stripping humanity of its capacity for independent thought? Or can we resist by cultivating “enthusiastic attentiveness” and piercing the hidden power structures Steiner warned about? Plus, get a sneak peek into Cunningham’s book, The Luciferic Verses: The Daodejing and the Chinese Roots of Esoteric History (available now on Amazon—link in the show notes!). This groundbreaking work explores Luciferic influences, Chinese mysticism, and even dragons—yes, dragons!—across cultures. Jason also teases an upcoming episode on tarot and Aleister Crowley, inspired by his personal dive into the Waite deck.
