24 | Grief Portals and Mystery Schools

Listen to this episode from Gods, Ghosts & UFOs on Spotify. This week, Robin Lassiter helps fill the temporary void left by Mal (she’ll be back next week!). Robin is the author of "Earth, A Love Story," and hosts a podcast of the same name. Together, we explore how childhood paranormal experiences, forced compartmentalization, and cultural trauma create the very conditions needed for transformation, if only we choose to descend rather than dissociate. Honestly one of the most profound conversations we’ve had. HIGHLIGHTS: Robin's earliest memories include out-of-body travel with beings who showed her "Armageddon visions" How her family reacted to stories of conversations with dead elderly visitors in matching rocking chairs Measuring the line between “normal” and “paranormal” A mission to help humanity transition from "evolution through suffering" to "evolution through joy and creativity" Modern addictions (endless digital dope scrolling, mainly) don’t have rock bottoms because rock bottoms aren't economically viable. How do we avoid wasting our lives 30 seconds at a time? "Harrowing" originally meant breaking earth for planting seeds, not just terrifying experiences Grief is a portal to pure ecstasy, but only if we “touch ground” and feel it completely The Descent of Inanna — a 4,000-year-old Sumerian cuneiform is a profound guide for confronting grief The etymology of "commiserate" The countless killed for associating with the unseen inflicted a deep cultural “witch wound” — this is why paranormal experiences feel unsafe Robin is an advocate for mystery schools, communities mature enough to help people intentionally reclaim exiled parts of themselves Is humanity undergoing a great collective descent? We can have the courage to face our grief when we realize we are never alone.
