For three hours, James kept blowing Greg's mind about the nature...

CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC ALERT! WARNING WARNING!  Independent Journalists Stephen Erdmann and Omar Faizi join Greg to discuss (and debate) the hidden history of secret societies, Earth's true origins, why all religion is false, and the horrendous acts of abuse throughout the centuries.  Who are the Illuminati?

Trigger Warning: This Episode Will Piss Off Feminists.

Dave Elman is considered the founding father of direct hypnosis.  Milton Erickson is considered the founding father of indirect, conversational hypnosis.  They'd smack Greg in the face with their pocket watches for this interview because his guest today is considered the dude that pisses on all of their legacies.  Open Loops welcomes Jonathan Royle.  Royle is regarded as a leading expert on Hypnos...

The guest with the longest name EVER.  It's a name that takes you into an altered state just reading it.  Ejiro Paul Anointed (HolySpirit Shaman Zecms).  Is he holy?  Is he magickal?  Is he a shaman?  He used to hypnotize believers into becoming non-believers and than instantly make them believers again.  Perhaps he's a madman?  He's all and none.  He lives right in Nonduality, Which makes him a p...

Before Kim Kardashian broke the internet.  Before the Jenners blew up Instagram.  Before dresses were white and gold, or blue and black.
