Lots of folks don&#8217;t know that I&#8217;m an avid Conspiracy Theorist. I used to be a conspiracy book buyer at the world-famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laweekly.com\/farewell-to-the-bodhi-tree-bookstore\/\">Bodhi Tree Bookstore<\/a> long ago in Los Angeles and that inspired me to go deep down the rabbit hole of human thought and imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exploring conspiracy theories is a deeply entertaining pursuit. Some folks favor crossword puzzles to keep their minds sharp. I like entertaining far-out notions that might relate to our everyday life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conspiracy Theories also fuel my creative writing. These concepts are touchstones for the creative process! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus my dad was a devotee of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1998\/06\/20\/arts\/carlos-castaneda-mystical-and-mysterious-writer-dies.html\">Carlos Casta\u00f1eda<\/a> and occult lore, so I&#8217;ve read a great many esoteric authors and am very familiar with the landscape of mystical thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joaquin and I didn&#8217;t discuss <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/emergencies\/diseases\/novel-coronavirus-2019\">COVID19<\/a> in the interview, because it was just getting started when we taped. I wanted to cover a wide range of topics like an esoteric smoregasboard that folks could explore more deeply on their own. Since our podcast conversation, Muerte &amp; I have exchanged several theories on the Coronavirus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m partial to thinking that COVID19 was bioengineered but I don&#8217;t know by whom. My theory is that the virus will be used to usher in a cashless society and possible jubilee. It&#8217;s a conservative position. There are some wilder theories out there, like those shared by <a href=\"https:\/\/qalerts.app\/\">Q<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.groundzeromedia.org\/\">Ground Zero<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/divinecosmos.com\/\">David Wilcock<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/spherebeingalliance.com\/about-me\">Corey Goode<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/benjaminfulford.net\/\">Benjamin Fulford<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidicke.com\/\">David Icke<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also want to give <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/joaquinmuerte\/\">Joaquin Muerte<\/a> a shoutout. Not only does he explore the convergence of science and mythology as it applies to people of color, he&#8217;s also a community organizer, an active musician and gardener.
