Me & Paranormal You

My buddy and author Sara Benincasa chats with me about growing up fascinated with magic, spells, and the associations of evil with dark magic. Sara tells me about "mean" magic and how trying to control another person through the use of magic can have unintended consequences. How can magic be used in a positive way and what role does intention play in the outcome? What a fun talk and Sara is an endless well of interesting stories and information. Check out her new book DC Trip that comes out in November. www.meandparanormalyou.comwww.ryansingercomedy.comwww.society6.com/mapy - Virtual Store is OPEN818-839-0593 Mindline

Shane Mauss returns for a fun talk about neuroscience, what makes us tick, how we perceive the world, and when DMT does not like what how you're doing it. Shane has a mind that is filled with so much knowledge as a seeker of truth, information, and knowledge. We may fall on opposite ends of the "belief" spectrum on a lot of things, but we never cease to learn something from each other each time we talk. I love having talks with brilliant minds who enjoy inquiry.

Exploration of the old Tibetan Buddhist practice of Tulpamancy. Can we create, conjure, or manufacture a being from our minds that becomes sentient? If it is possible to create such a a being, a Tulpa, what happens when we must destroy it or when it becomes not what we hoped to create? Tulpas and the alleged creation of them have seen a resurgence due to the vast online communities that share information, old mystical practices, and 24 hour access to sacred texts and other histories. How has this practice evolved and what is being used for in the modern generation of those interested? (hat tip to Mike Collins for suggesting topic)www.meandparanormalyou.comwww.ryansingercomedy.comwww.society6.com/mapy818-839-0593 Mindline

April Adams returns to the progam to talk to me about the change in her life journey, her calling, and what is next on the horizon. Who heals the healers? April's change in focus has led her down a path of working with and on other highly intuitive and empathic healers. One of the greatest parts of starting this project is that I have somehow, someway been able to get in contact with so many wonderful, deep, and interesting people and April is one of them for sure. We discuss healing techniques such as EFT and more as we (mostly me) seem to figure out one of the main things I've been doing wrong in my interpersonal relationships romantically. We also plan a third visit that involves me having a healing session in which she will consult my sacred elders. Whoa. www.meandparanormalyou.comwww.ryansingercomedy.com818-839-0593 Mindline

A brief introduction to the world, the history, and modern ideas of Crystal Healing. Who are the people who first believed in the powers of gem stones and other rocks? What does modern science have to say about those who purport the healing and positive benefits of stones and crystals? A fascinating history that goes back further than you may think.www.meandparanormalyou.comwww.ryansingercomedy.com818-839-0593 MindlinePlease rate, review, and subscribe on iTunes to help out!

Christina Donnelly tells me what it was like growing up in a haunted house in the northeast and having a parent assure her of the "spirit's" good nature. Do parents know and believe and struggle how to explain to the very young about what ghosts are or could be? Or are they just saying anything to avoid the conversation that they don't know how to have? Christina also details for me her 12 year battle against shadow people or "the committee" as she came to call them. When science writes off experience as merely sleep paralysis, they fail to take into account the profound affect these still uncertain experiences have on the person's life who actually has them. How can we battle the shadow people if we also experience this? A really great talk that covers a lot of ground.www.meandparanormalyou.comwww.ryansingercomedy.com818-839-0593 MindlineRate, review & subscribe on iTunes!

My fascination with Djinn has not waned since doing my first 3rd Ear Bonus about them and then reading Rosemary Ellen Guiley's wonderful and comprehensive book The Djinn Connection. For personal reasons, the djinn have been on my mind quite a bit since my interview with the ex-girlfriend who could morph and for reasons of wanting to be a better and more knowledgable host of the mindcast they have also been on my mind. After reading her book, watching videos online, and asking myself some interesting if not tough questions, I have come to some crossroads in the way I believe things. The premise of this whole thing is "it's more fun to believe" after all and what kind of host would I be if I didn't do my damnedest to remain open-minded to any and all things? So, with that, I give you some more information about the legendary and possibly very real djinn.www.meandparanormalyou.comwww.ryansingercomedy.com818-839-0593 MindlinePlease rate, review & subscribe on iTunes

James Roper, a brilliant artist tells me all about his journey through Kung Fu and the meditation practices he has experienced. At what point does meditation transcend a daily practice and become something mystical? James details his most intense experience in cutting through the noise of daily life and what happened afterwards. We also get into what it is like to dedicate a portion of your life to excelling in an intense practice of physical and mental exercise and how that affects what we consider to "normal" and if those moments of breakthrough make us "go crazy" or not. A fun, wonderful talk and my first one from overseas!

A somewhat deeper look into what happens when the human brain is deprived of its sleep and its affect on the creation process and creativity. Many people believe that it aids creativity and others believe that it does quite the opposite. Is there a magic that can only be tapped into when we are unable to allow ourselves to drift off to the restful realm of sleep? It is fascinating to me and to many others the affects staying awake has on our brain and the debate rages on.www.meandparanormalyou.comwww.ryansingercomedy.com818-839-0593 Mindline

Daniel Earle, aka Story Daniels, a musician from Asheville, North Carolina, gives me an in-depth background of the ghostly phenomena known as the Blue Mountain Lights. They are often seen in the mountain side and sky over Brown Mountain, located just outside of Asheville. Daniel's curiosity led him to check them out for himself and he details exactly what happened the 3 times he went to visit the ghostly orbs that fly and float through the sky at night.www.meandparanormalyou.comwww.ryansingercomedy.com818-839-0593 MindlinePlease rate, review & subscribe on iTunes

Live recording at the Nerdist School Stage in Los Angeles with standup comedian and unicorn connoisseur, Andy Erikson. Our first attempt at recording an interview in front of a live "studio" audience, if you will. Andy and I have a fun, wonderful talk about deceased relatives acting as guardian angels, the encouragement of believing by a open-minded parents, and unicorns! www.meandaparanormalyou.comwww.ryansingercomedy.com818-839-0593 Mindline

Jeremy, a friend whom I had never actually met until we sat down for an interview, tells me what it was like as a young child who was "touched by god" and began to understand his psychic abilities at a very young age. It just so happened that the conflux of other events in his life made it possible and steered him toward the internet when it first was remotely possible to connect with others who didn't quite fit in. He was a the forefront of the building of a psychic community online and details his experiences for me in a wonderful talk. www.meandparanormalyou.comwww.ryansingercomedy.com818-839-0593 Mindline

Discuss the evidence or at least the purported evidence of time travelers that have made news on the internet and into our folklore. Are any of them legitimate and if someone really traveled through time would we ever even know about it? www.meandparnormalyou.comwww.ryansingercomedy.com818-839-0593 Mindline

Take some time to decompress from a long road trip of stand up comedy and talk about where we've been with the mindcast and where I think we may be headed in the future. This is also an opportunity for me just talk a lot since I lost one of the most important pieces of recording equipment on the road trip and didn't realize it until I was about to interview a guest. Such is life and it must have been needed and required as this is what happened when it happened and therefore must have needed to happen because it did. I'm sticking with that attitude for this because I love the way it sounds. www.meandparanormalyou.comwww.ryansingercomedy.com828-839-0593 Mindline

Ghosts, hauntings, and even curses have added intrigue and interest to many bands' albums over the years and one particular recording studio has multiple stories of weird things happening by something that haunts it and also by the musicians themselves. www.meandparanormalyou.comwww.ryansingercomedy.com818-839-0593 Mindline

The 6th variable of 13 quickly made its way upon us and I hope you enjoy the unpredictable and different Experience that this one will be. I have recorded over time two different sketch comedy albums that I have uploaded secretly and made available for download at very random times. These are those two albums. ONE and TWO are here for you, NSFW. I hope you enjoy them and I think you can see the paranormal influence in these albums, too. www.meandparanormalyou.comwww.ryansingercomedy.com818-839-0593 Mindline

Djinn are supernatural creatures in Islamic mythology as well as pre-Islamic Arabian mythology. Today we cover some of the origin stories associated with them and what exactly they do, are capable of doing, and thoughts are on their free will. Are they responsible for much more than we are even aware? www.meandparanormalyou.comwww.ryansingercomedy.com818-839-0593 Mindline

AJ Finney tells me about the near death experiences that remain unexplainable, his mother who sees ghosts, and we wonder if its tied to his being a descendant of Sitting Bull. A wonderful, fun conversation with a very talented comedian that you don't want to miss. www.meandparanormalyou.comwww.ryansingercomedy.com818-839-0593 Mindline

My thoughts, reflections, and feelings about the interview the woman who started my paranormal journey. I also speculate about the future of the program in an attempt to manifest some great encounters, interviews, and guests that I hope to meet someday. The program will continue on and I am more excited than ever before about it. Don't be fooled by early morning, raspy-road-worn, post-whiskey-drinking voice that I'm currently dealing with out here on the road. www.meandparanormalyou.comwww.ryansingercomedy.com818-839-0593 Mindline
