Listen now | Robert came to Spain to visit an old friend seven years ago, then went back to LA, quit his job, sold his house under the Hollywood sign, and brought his two daughters to live in a village by the “Playa de los Muertos,” where hundreds of dead sailors washed ashore after the battle of Trafalgar in 1805. These days, you’ll find Robert painting, reading, riding his horse on that beach, swimming in the Atlantic or just looking up at the night sky, taking in the majesty of it all. What more is there to life? It’s been a long road, and it’s led to an amazing place for this man.
Chris. I gotta say. A lot of people listen to this podcast when they're on drugs. And the switch to substack is confusing. Do they have an app? Anyway. Of course I shouldn't complain. Just telling you what I'm feeling on the otherside. From Australia. Cheers.
The concept of distractions entering into your dreamworld and becoming so overwhelming because they are a sign you're about to wake up, reminded me of the lore about 'siddhis' within the yogic/tantric traditions. The ancient teachers of India warned their pupils that after years and years of practice they would begin to experience spontaneous psychic abilities (telepathy, precognition, macro PK and even levitation) but those were NOT to be focused in by the student because the ultimate goal of the practice is to reach enlightenment --to wake up.
Interesting how, as Dean Radin has pointed out in his books, in the Western esoteric tradition it is actually the opposite, and the attaining of these powers is the ultimate goal of their practices.
Anyway, fascinating discussion. And if you get a chance to visit Conil de la Frontera perhaps you should do so --lots of interesting things have happened in that place, including one of my all-time favorites close encounters with humanoids ;)
I think we are out of the mix and go back to it. I think Mr de Vico gets a bit involved with human ego needs when he imagines we have been chosen of chose to be there to do SOMETHING.
Sill in Mexico, leaving 29th. Looking for a different destination after summer in USA.
Hi Chris, it is interesting how you said that America has a repressive philosophy when it comes to sex and Robert disagreed with you.
It is a difficult thing to figure out. You obviously have a lot of porn that comes out from America, mostly from California and Florida.
However along with that you do have a lot of conservative attitudes, government regulations, Christian fundamentalism. It seems like there is this confused relationship with sex. Almost like we can never figure it out. What is ok and what is not.

damn i cant believe you and duncan aren't that close anymore... the thought of you two never doing a podcast again is a serious bummer. personally probably 2 of the most influential podcast voices for me.. but you guys did have some of the best conversations in podcast history so there's that
I’m not sure I can keep listening to this Robert character after his opinion on hip hop. There are countless new and old hip hop artists that have poetry in there songs or at the very least are rapping about a lot more than the “base human”. Why have such a strong opinion on something he knows nothing about?
I respect Chris’s effort to give some credit to hip hop but outcast hasn't put out an album in 20’s years.
Just felt the need to pause the podcast and strongly echo Robert’s encouragement to read Jitterbug Perfume. It is by far my favorite of Robbins’ work and I think you would find a lot to chew on between those pages. Much Love to Chris and everyone here!
