14 oktober 2023 | 162 min

Rob Dietrich is the currently the Master Distiller of Metallica's Blackened American Whiskey, though he may have the most diverse resume in his field, reflecting a man that remains impossible to categorize (and hard to hold down for long). Rob is a combat veteran who joined the Army in his twenties and served three tours, one of them being the incident referred to as "Black Hawk Down". He's a lifelong die-hard music fan of every genre, who chooses to have a record player in his home instead of a television. Rob also has an impressive music career, formerly having worked for Bill Graham Presents for a decade (his first assignment for the world famous promoter was The Tibetan Freedom Concert in 1996, which made an indelible impression and impact on his life). This another episode that feels like "Jaymee's made a new best friend" (which seem to be happening more often these days). This episode was the brainchild of Jaymee's brother Benjamin Carpenter, who works for Rob and Metallica at Blackened. Also discussed: why vinyl records and coolections are important Big Black (and other groups you haven't heard of that we have) details you never hear about joining the army and being in combat how psychedelics & going off the grid reduced combat PTSD why fireworks are lame for veterans (and dogs) the importance of listening to your children trusting intuition How to keep your sanity in the hell of war the car ride w/ Beastie Boy Adam Yauch that changed his life what it's like to meet and work for your hero's Pioneering Black Noise Sonic Enhancement at Blackened FEATURED GUEST: Rob Dietrich (@whiskeyrob on IG) MORE ABOUT BLACKENED: www.blackenedwhiskey.com FEATURED MUSIC: "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica (performed by Phoebe Bridgers) + "Bodhisattva Vow" by Beastie Boys.

Episode 29 - Lady Diana Mukpo

5 april 2023 | 56 min

This episode features Jaymee in an extremely rare conversation with Lady Diana Mukpo, wife of The Venerable Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, on the 36th anniversary of his Parinirvana ("death"). Lady Diana had originally invited Jaymee to her home in Florida to record the episode in person, but she found herself unexpectedly hospitalized nearing the recording date. To Jaymee's astonishment, Lady Diana remained committed to their recording on this day, and the two were able to meet for the first time over zoom and record this conversation from her hospital bed on one of the most significant days of her life. Coming fresh off the heels of Jaymee finishing Lady Diana's incredible book Dragon Thunder: My Life With Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Jaymee intentionally chooses to direct the focus of this episode less on the powerful teachings or magical events of Trungpa Rinpoche's life that usually fill the spotlight, and more on the human story behind two of the most significant and controversial/misunderstood figures in Tibetan Buddhism reaching America. Jaymee and Lady Diana discuss whether or not Trungpa Rinpoche suffered from PTSD, and you'll hear about a moment early on where she rerouted his attempt to commit suicide. This episode shines spotlight on the brilliant integrity and determination of Lady Diana - a young woman of 16 facing the patriarchal dark ages of emotionality and equality, only to find an indestructible karmic calling as Trungpa Rinpoche's partner, best friend, and lover. The contributions she and Trungpa Rinpoche have made toward establishing a path of non-aggression for western society is unparalleled, and the merit truly beyond measure. This is Part One of their talk together, with a follow up planned in the coming months. The episode features authorized uses of "Won't You Come Home" and "Memorial" by Devendra Banhart, who began this Trungpa Rinpoche adventure for Jaymee by introducing him to Shambhala Publications founder Samuel Bercholz, now a friend, guest of multiple episodes and major supporter of this podcast. Jaymee would also like to thank Carolyn Rose Gimian and Jim Gimian for making the introduction between he and Lady Diana. Also to the Duncan Family for their support.

Episode 28 - Parvati Markus

30 mars 2023 | 77 min

This episode chronicles the hard earned spiritual unfoldment of the great saint, author and editor Parvati Markus, who's first acid trip (Golden Sunshine/Owlsey acid) in 1969 led her directly to a first encounter with a freshly anointed Ram Dass, beaming with light at his fathers farm. Parvati became Ram Dass's personal secretary for two years, helping him edit his spiritual classic Be Here Now while saving up money to eventually travel to India with her heart set solely on meeting Neem Karoli Baba, who she believed to be the source of Ram Dass's inner light. After an arduous journey traveling through India for the first time in 1971, she contracted hepatitis while traveling, she eventually made it to darshan with Maharaj-ji, and reads her journal notes from her first encounter with him. Parvati is a Love Serve Remember rebel, who for 7 months lived with Maharaj-ji alongside her early cronies Ram Dass, Krishna Das, Mirabai Bush, Rameshwar Das and a young Raghu Markus - who Parvati spontaneously married at the behest of Maharaj-ji on this trip, presiding himself over the ceremony. Parvati then had the incredible honor of becoming Maharaj-ji's "private secretary", where she experienced countless first hand account miracles and a lifetime's worth of wisdom and grace, which she emanates. Parvati is the author of Whisper In The Heart, and Love Everyone, both books inspired by the wisdom and presence of Neem Karoli Baba, and has been a contributing editor for 50 years of a range of Love Serve Remember authors. Parvati is an inspirational woman who exhibited impeccable devotion, respect and selfless service throughout her spiritual journey, and shares stories generously and in great detail throughout this episode.

1 februari 2023 | 112 min

"I may be crucified for this... but happily!" Sam Bercholz is the Founder and Editor In Chief of Shambhala Publications, was an attendant, student, close friend and constant collaborator of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche's for the last 17 years of his life, publishing virtually Trungpa's entire literary catalog. He co-hosted a weekly public radio show with Alan Watts (produced by an Anton Lavey devotee), and Sam personally introduced Trungpa Rinpoche to Alan Watts ("Alan was Trunpa's literary hero.") He shares the details of their first meeting, and the bombshell first impression Alan Watts made on Trungpa Rinpoche ("That was a horrible disappointment"). Sam also made the introduction between renowned Zen Master Suzuki Roshi and Trungpa Rinpoche, which became a lifelong friendship between the two most significant Buddhist teachers in North American history. Sam also grew up with Alan Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Lex Hixon, was the original mover and shaker of the spiritual boom in the Bay Area in the late 1960's and 70's. He even hosted His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (considered the living Buddha of the last 100 years) on his only visit to North America in 1976. Sam tells mind-blowing stories of what it was like for him to be the "designated driver" for Trungpa Rinpoche's early acid tests with his students ("best job ever") and how Trungpa never appeared to be affected by the LSD or the alcohol intake. Sam shares (for the first time publicly) his feelings about the controversial offshoot Shambhala Buddhism, which he reveals was created years after Trungpa Rinpoche's death, without his personal blessing and against many of his students support. "I tried to stop Shambhala Buddhism from happening. I thought it was a mistake to create a new religion, because Trungpa Rinpoche was not into starting new religions." Sam also shares about his relationship with legendary poet Jim Harrison, and towards the end of the podcast, fields questions from Jaymee's student Tim D'amico and his partner Lacee.

Episode 15 - Victoria Roberts

30 augusti 2022 | 78 min

After Jaymee's mother, artist Victoria Roberts, had survived a horribly abusive childhood by establishing a foundational relationship with God being Love, she arrived in London in 1971 at the age of 18 and was instantly swept into the inner circle of rock legends The Who and The Faces. The first time Who drummer Keith Moon met Victoria at The Roundhouse in London in 1971, he confessed his innermost feelings of guilt over the accidental death of his driver and bodyguard Neil Boland just months before, a rare showing of vulnerability from the late rock legend. Victoria taught Ronnie Wood from the Faces (now The Rolling Stones) how to ice skate around that time, and was with The Faces when they trashed Alice Cooper's after party at the legendary Rainbow Theatre while he was still performing on stage. A year later, after listening to Stephen Stills first solo record in 1972, she simply imagined herself hanging out with him... two months later, Victoria was searching for an unlocked window at Stephen Stills Boulder, CO home to climb through, hellbent on cleaning the house, which from the outside looked trashed and partied in heavily. What'd Stephen do when he arrived home a few days later when he found her as an intruder in his home? He gave her a job for the next year as his live-in assistant/housekeeper. Victoria's life is an exemplarily demonstration of how thought can physically manifest, and how one can radical heal themselves and others through self love and living a life of honesty. She shares her multi-layered process of healing herself from the unspeakable horrors of her youth, how an accidental psilocybin trip at 16 years old played an integral role, and how on multiple occasions in life she talked herself out of being raped by discussing her spiritual healing with each looming aggressors. Victoria's life is also a great example that you may find your artistic voice in late in the game, and how simple and beautifully sweet it it all can be.

Episode 13 - Raghu Markus

23 augusti 2022 | 57 min

Raghu Markus is the Executive Director of the Love Serve Remember Foundation, co-founder of the Be Here Now Network, host of Ram Dass: Here and Now as well as his own Mindrolling podcast. He is a devotee and direct disciple of Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaji), whom Raghu lived with in India for 18 solid months alongside Ram Dass and Krishna Das in the early 1970's. Raghu is the chief storyteller within the Love Serve Remember satsang, and spends most of his time joyfully recounting deep and meaningful stories about his friend and mentor Ram Dass, so Jaymee took time to ask about Raghu's early life in Montreal for a change. Raghu shared what it was like having his first transcendent experience as a teenager in a jazz club watching John Coltrane play "My Favorite Things" right in front of him, how he and his friends used to sneak off to watch films that were banned by his teachers, and how his early psychedelic experimentation led straight to his first job as a program director of CKGM-FM in Montreal, where he would fatefully encounter Ram Dass as if it were all intricately designed. This episode is full of first hand accounts of what it was like to be in the direct care and company of Neem Karoli Baba, a miracle being who the majority of humans have only experienced through Ram Dass's many lectures, his service work, and his smile... all of which Raghu confirms was Maharaji pouring through his dedicated student. You'll also hear the story of the time Ram Dass felt like an imposter, and the extraordinary pep talk Maharaji gave him on the spot, as well as the time Maharaji taught Raghu, a nice jewish boy from Canada, how to "meditate like Christ". Recorded in the kirtan hall of Love Serve Remember headquarters, a legitimate "Grace-land" that caused Jaymee to feel like he was on acid, prepare for this unforgettable "Raghu after dark" themed episode!

Episode 12- Jon Vasu Seskevich

16 augusti 2022 | 117 min

Jon "Vasu" Seskevich has been a trailblazing nurse clinician and primary disciple of Ram Dass's for 50 years. After two years of obsessively reading and re-reading Be Here Now in the early 70's while hitchhiking and practicing kundalini yoga, Jon endured a difficult LSD experience and took a shot in the dark writing Ram Dass a letter to ask his advice in processing the bad trip. Much to Jon's surprise, not only did Ram Dass write him back, but his return letter set in motion a lifelong teacher/student relationship between the two that directly led to Jon creating his own revolutionary career and curriculum in compassionate nursing care at Duke University between 1990-2019. Jon is a breathtakingly genuine and humble sweetheart of a man, a record keeper of the highest order, so in love with the world and earnestly devoted to cultivating path of the expansive Heart. For the Love Serve Remember heads and hardcores, this episode is an absolute gold mine - chalked full of mind-blowing first hand accounts of Ram Dass sewing the seeds of Love in the West, as well as the full circle experience Jon had being Ram Dass's nurse on one of his last pilgrimages to India in 2004. My friend Jon "Vasu" Seskevich recorded this podcast on the day before he was to undergo heart surgery, which I have released in the early morning hours of his surgery (August 16, 2022) as living prayer for him and his extraordinary passion for alleviating the suffering of beings. As you listen, know that Jon is open to healing thoughts and energy being directed his way. The world certainly has much still to benefit from this true saint, who is deep undercover agent for the divine. In the final moments of this episode performs a round of a rare English translation of the Hanuman Chalisa on his harmonium.

Episode 10 - Samuel Bercholz - Founder, Shambhala Publications

12 juli 2022 | 71 min

Samuel Bercholz is the Founder and Editor In Chief of the legendary Shambhala Publications, original publisher of an entire library of spiritual classics by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Pema Chödron, Shunryu Suzuki, Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche (to name a few), and was an early student of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche's. Samuel is the genuine article mover and shaker of the early Buddhist scene in the US, and what George Martin was for The Beatles, Samuel has been for the Dharma flourishing in the West (though you'll hear he considers himself more of a Forest Gump). You'll hear the unbelievable stories of Samuel as an 18 year old co-hosting a weekly San Francisco based radio show with legendary Zen philosopher Alan Watts called "Adventures In Consciousness", and the last epic hang Chögyam Trungpa had with Alan Watts on the day Alan died. Samuel then blows Jaymee's mind by describing Chogyam Trungpa needing to perform an exorcism for Alan Watts a month later, claiming Alan "doesn't know he is dead" and "is stuck" in the bardo. You'll hear about Samuel's friendship with legendary clandestine chemist Owsley Stanley in San Francisco, who synthesized a drug that left Samuel high for two weeks straight. As if this isn't enough, Samuel has flatlined twice in his life, and in his most recent book "A Guided Tour Of Hell" (as well as on this podcast), Samuel shares the gory details of his experience, what he describes as feeling like an eternity in a hell realm, followed by the surprising pain of returning to his body ("leaving is easy; coming back is incredibly painful"). Stacks of Shambhala books have changed Jaymee's life over the past decade, so this episode was truly a high point of Jaymee's life, living vicariously through one of the most captivating figures in the history of American publishing.
