Name: Orland Bishop - Part 2 (E27) by Charles Eisenstein
Duration: 1 h 24 min 31 s
Description: Part 2 of Charles' conversation with Orland Bishop.

How can one invoke the opportunity to support one’s initiation?

These conversations are unbelievably profound.  Im left feeling almost uncomfortably eager and wildly inspired. I’m deeply grateful for all the information but a bit at a loss of what exactly to do with it.  I’ll direct my attention and do my best but yearn for more guidance and a more formal practice to engage in. Thank you Charles - thank you Orland. Extremely grateful for alllll your conversations 🙏🏽

I love listening to conversations with Charles. Not only the words and meaning but also the tone and feel. Years ago, when in the Navy...every day was a wasteland except when on patrol...thinking of how to help make a more beautiful world and writing notes to myself and listening to Bob Costas interview people. I liked the genuine way he communicated and listened. And now with Charles, so lovely to listen to the quality of the interaction. Thank you, Charles and Orland.

I've really enjoyed this conversation. And am having to listen more than once to extract all the gems. Thank you.

2011.08.17:  Orland Bishop - Spiritual Biography Part 2

This podcast is a public conversation between me and Orland Bishop, recorded in Santos, Brazil. Even though the audio quality isn't perfect, I want to release this recording anyway in hopes of transmitting to you some of what Orland has transmitted to me. He draws from a deep pool of wisdom that is carried not only by his words, but by the voice beneath them. I don't use phrases like "deep pool of wisdom" very often, and in this case it is not a cliche. We talk about gift and relationship; the power of word, story, and intention; money and the financial system, and other topics. You might sometimes find Orland hard to understand. That's OK. Just let the words reverberate in you.

Orland Bishop: Word, Gift, and Money (E18) - A New and Ancient Story

Martin Shaw is a mythologist and storyteller from the area of Devon, England. He and I share a deep appreciation for the way myth and story shape the world. Martin starts our conversation with a story about Fox Woman Dreaming that is still with me months later, working inside me. We go on to talk about exile, the nature of magic, stories and relationship, decolonizing the imagination, and lots more. It was a really heady and passionate conversation.
