TMLS - Sep 8, 2026 - w/Allen aka The Paraclete - Spirituality and Politics! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
America is unraveling for one reason most people miss: we stopped treating spiritual awakening as the real foundation of public life. Mark Laymon sits down with Allen aka The Paraclete for a wide-ranging, intense conversation about transcendence, collective consciousness, the hero's journey, and why the future of society depends on what happens inside the individual first.
