We'll also upload Perennial Fables (the side-story focused ToA sister series) onto Podbean at a later date.

Former CIA officer John Kiriakou, revealed that during the early War on Terror, opium production in Afghanistan surged under U.S. and NATO watch. When he questioned the protection of poppy fields, superiors warned him to stay quiet, hinting at deeper Western interests.

This is the Tumblr account I set up back in August and promptly forgot about. I don't like to discuss the personal details of our life but 2023 was an especially hard year for us and in order to really make this account and the podcast happen, I need to be able to focus on it. So that is the immediate plan for 2024, to hopefully regain my focus on and especially my love for theatre.

Unfortunately I have not participated in any theatre in four years now, there are a number of reasons but the big one is that my mental health isn't that good these days. I'm hoping that returning to a more literary / academic approach to theatre will help satisfy my need without tempting fate with my anxiety.

The general vibe of this blog is largely light academia / dark academia, with special focus on dramatic literature, theatre history, and probably some pictures of actual theatre buildings. Also things like poetry, coffee shop and bookstore vibes, that sort of thing.

Oh, and here are the old episodes:

Hi there! You can listen to our full catalogue of episodes through our host site, Podbean. (Who also have their own podcatcher app!)

"The shabd currents in Bhanwar Gupha are so sweet and enchanting, according to the Saints, that souls live entirely off its invigorating nectar, desiring nothing but darshan [vision] of the presiding lord and the manifestations of Light and Sound. Kabir, the most famous of the medieval saints, describes in his writings (or, at least, those attributed to his pen) how hamsas (pure spirits) live on spiritual dweeps (islands) with magnificent palaces for transmundane enjoyment. Faqir Chand, in his Yogic Philosophy of the Saints, gives a more psychological interpretation of the meditator's experiences in the fourth region: 'When in the course of meditation man reaches this state of Bhanwar-Gupha he experiences that there was none except his own self. This centre is compared with Bhanwar which means whirl. At this centre a wheel rotates like a cradle. It means that at this centre a wave springs out of the surat of the meditator and again merges in its own source, or say, it rotates around its own source and produces the sound of Sohang-Flute. The Shabd of this centre is so effective that the meditator enjoys the pleasure of being one with the Supreme Soul.'" (Enchanted Land)

Swan-Soul, Heavenly Bird (Hamsa) - Mystic Poem of Kabir:

Tell me, O Swan, your ancient tale.

From what land do you come,

O Swan? to what shore will you fly?

Where would you take your rest,

O Swan, and what do you seek?

Even this morning, O Swan, awake, arise, follow me!

There is a land where no doubt nor sorrow have rule:

where the terror of Death is no more.

There the woods of spring are a-bloom,

and the fragrant scent "He is I" [I Am That, Ana-HU, Soham] is borne on the wind:

There the bee of the heart is deeply immersed,

and desires no other joy.

(Kabir, version by Robert Bly)

In Divine Love, Light and Sound, Peace Be To You,

James Bean
