    In this week’s episode we grab our “They Live” glasses and descend down into Kane Parson’s summer blockbuster horror hit: “The Backrooms” to explore its clever symbolic use of Jungian archetypes and Eastern mysticism to create a cerebral and spooky allegory with the same narrative depth we find in masterpieces like Kubrick’s The Shining, Lynch’s Twin Peaks or Owaku’s Silent Hill 2 but with a retrowave drip that weaponizes nostalgia in a tour of the collective unconscious with obscure doorways straight into Buddhist hell. In the free side of the show we discuss Clark and the symbolism that haunts him, the Backrooms and his shadow; breaking down what it has to do with the infinite, changing and cyclical nature of the Backrooms itself. In the extended side of the show we discuss the Capn Carl, Tarot symbolism, the shadow of the retrowave aesthetic and how the Backrooms are a perfect allegory for the Bardos of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Join us next week for part 2. That gives you a whole other week to go watch the movie before listening! Thank you and enjoy the show!
    In this week’s episode we discuss:
    Origins of the Backrooms
    Clark Character Analysis
    Water Symbolism 
    The Helm and the Wheel of Karma
    Samsara, Maya and Dukkha
    The Biology of Memory and Repetition
    Bird symbolism
    Carl Jung’s Psychological Shadow
    In the extended episode available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go deeper down the rabbit hole to discuss:
    Black Mirrors 
    Descending Into the Unconscious
    Weaponizing Nostalgia and the Retrowave Aesthetic
    Tarot: Two of Swords
    Gematria
    Davey Jones Locker
    Mary and the Window
    Navigating the Bardos

    DMT Laser Experiments & The Code of Reality

    06/06/2026 | 44 mins.
    Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here!
    In this week’s show we finally take a glimpse at what psychonaught Danny Goller has been trying to tell us for years; that if you smoke enough DMT and stare at a diffused laser you can see the code of reality. After talking about how Danny figured it out, we discuss why such a strange idea might not only make sense but falls in line with cutting edge research and a long tradition in the West of combining cutting edge optics and spirit communication to advance our understanding of reality. We even get into how Danny says to do the experiment… which we do not endorse, condone or promote in any way because drugs are bad and I am not responsible for any damage you do to your eyes while on them. In the extended show we discuss what spirit conjuring wizards throughout history have a strangely concordant interest in the field of optics, the bizarrely specific experiences shared by participants and what kind of strange entities are most contacted while a user is on DMT. We discuss the Back Rooms, the City of Pyramids and the occult reason why the entities that reside there might be hideous clown creatures. Thank you and enjoy the show. 
    On this week’s show we discuss:
    Danny Goller
    Rick Strassman’s “The Spirit Molecule” 
    ECCO the Dolphin
    Dose Dependent Effects 
    How to do the experiment 
    Snell’s Law
    In the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go further down the rabbit hole and discuss:
    Optics and Wizardry in the West
    How do lasers work?
    Shared experiences 
    DMT entities
    Lila
    City of Pyramids 
    This episode was written by Luke Madrid, Heka Astra and Mari Sama with additional commentary by Tim Hacker.

    In this week’s episode we are joined once again by Julian Soloninka, better yet known as Julian the Philosopher to discuss his provocative insights into Cyberpunk Metaphysics; which we discuss in its germinal stages under the inspired headspace of Alan Watts, Alduous Huxley and Gregory Bateson. In the first half of the episode we discuss the impact Alan Watts and Gregory Bateson had on cyberpunk and its corresponding philosophies while investigating the role they played as secret agents each with respective ties to three letter agencies before asking ourselves if we were to meet them on Homerian or Platonic footing. In the extended side of the show we continue our discussion with Julian and discuss prominent author, philosopher and psychonaught, Alduous Huxley; his connection to Jiddu Krishnamurti, the Death of Cleopatra and what it all has to do with Philip K. Dick’s theophany. Thank you and enjoy the show!

    09/05/2026 | 49 mins.
    Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here!
    On this week’s episode Tim Hacker leads us on a discussion of the occult powers of telepathy and clairvoyance as described by turn of the century new-thought pioneer William Walker Atkinson under his pseudonym Swami Panchadasi. Best known for his authorship of the Kybalion, Atkinson breaks down in plain English the straight dope concerning basic psychic ability from vague impressions or weird synchronicities we all have experienced right up into their fully evolved form as telepathic sense and even astral projection. In the free half of the show we discuss the difference between telepathy and clairvoyance, how it manifests, how to cultivate it, what its capable of achieving and the dodgy business of seeing the past by touching other people’s personal property. In this extended side of the show we discuss crystal gazing, scrying, the use of drugs in ritual, controlling psychic senses, creating psychic links and other things we’re not supposed to talk about in public. Thank you and enjoy the show!

    Telepathy vs. Clairvoyance
    The Astral Senses
