Tarot isn’t just a way to predict outcomes, but a clear map for building a life you actually want to live. That’s the premise we dig into on Paranormal Yakker with Janis King—one of the UK’s most respected tarot readers—who takes us from a life-on-the-brink moment to a framework she calls the Life Code, where the Fool holds potential energy, the Magician sets it in motion, and the four suits become practical skills you can train.

Janis shares the story of her first startling reading with a mystic named White Dove in Camden Market, a trance-mediumship breakthrough at Arthur Findlay College, and a channeled collaboration with an entity she calls Obin. Those experiences led her to reimagine the deck’s architecture: cups as emotional literacy and connection, wands as will and direction, swords as clarity and problem-solving, and pentacles not as money, but as currency—our lived, tradable experience. From there, she built a spread that starts with a single Minor Arcana “you are here” card and organizes the next two steps with precision, guided by the Major Arcana as an instruction manual rather than a mythic parade.

We also dive into the surprising resonance between the majors and classical philosophy—Socrates, Plato, Aristotle—and why Aristotle’s golden mean visually echoes a path down the centerline culminating in the Sun. For Janis, tarot is open-source wisdom: no gatekeepers, just a global network carrying a shared code from kitchen tables to classrooms. The result is a fresh way to work with energy—less about forcing outcomes and more about dancing with constraints—so you can make changes from the inside out and see them hold in the real world.

If you’ve ever wanted a map for your next two steps—or wondered how to turn insight into action—this conversation is for you.

What if dying feels less like a blackout and more like pressing restart? Stan welcomes author and researcher Anthony Peake for a mind-bending tour through near-death experiences, deja vu, and the possibility that consciousness is more fundamental than the matter that seems to produce it. We trace his early fascination with hallucinations to a rigorous, science-first approach that challenges the default “it’s just hypoxia” explanation and asks a deeper question: how does the brain generate a self that can witness anything at all?

We dive into veridical NDEs, EEG spikes after flatline, and why time can stretch into lifetimes in a single instant. Along the way, Anthony connects the panoramic life review to memory architecture and neurochemistry, showing surprising overlap with experiences triggered by ketamine, DMT, and psilocybin. His provocative daemon–eidolon model frames deja vu as a memory from previous “runs” of your life, while many‑worlds and simulation logic offer a physics‑literate way to imagine branching choices rendering new realities on demand. The conversation widens across cultures: from children encountering cartoon guides to shamanic initiations and New Britain accounts that mirror modern abduction narratives, the motifs of guidance, review, and transformation persist even as their costumes change.

Grounded in neuroscience yet alive to anthropology, information theory, and the holographic principle, this episode asks whether consciousness is a field we tune into, not a byproduct we produce. If entities on DMT remember you and virtual worlds can feel more real than real, how certain are we that everyday life isn’t a curated rendering? Come curious, leave challenged, and bring your best questions about what a self is, where it goes, and why our most private experiences look so strangely universal.
