“I sometimes forget that life’s not just full of surprises it's also full of gifts” Capheus Sense8

This episode like many is filled with surprise gifts or Easter Eggs, including at least three Sense8 Super Powers in the Archipelago Scene. You already know about the epic hair Dave Walsh showcased in this scene, but Zac discovered two other Sense8 Gems in this scene. Who else have you spotted in the Archipelago scene?

For the first time in 34 episodes of Live Sense8, Sheila is stumped by the Episode title. While the title makes sense for much of the episode, throughout the series in each episode a scene is highlighted with the title line giving more depth to its meaning. In this episode when the line “Isolated Above, Connected Below” appears, it seems to have almost a mirror meaning and Sheila is determined to wrap her mind around the placement.

How many people in our world are living life in a state of numbness or disconnect? In their attempt to hide from BPO Sensates get creative in their attempt to hide their higher connections. 

As humans, many of us seem to do the same.

But as Old Man Hoy Says…

“Life on beta blockers is no life at all” Old Man Hoy #Sense8

Spring Boarding off Old Man Hoy’s conversation with Riley, about the origin of BPO and how its original intention has been highjacked through the years, Sheila and Zac discuss secrecy and the nature of Sapiens.

Unfortunately, too many of us can relate to Old Man Hoy with he says…

 “I am slowly dying of survival” Old Man Hoy # Sense8

Which is why we must always remember…

Why do life's moments of joy always seem to be followed by chaos?

Does pain really create the strongest intimacy in human relationships?

Are we somehow addicted to the chaos and struggle?

Triggered by the constant battle facing the Cluster, Sheila brings Zac along on an intricate exploration about human nature and the stories we tell.

Zac is excited about the introduction of new cluster into the storyline of this episode and the two hosts discuss the dance of sexual energies beyond the physical realm.

Sheila's favorite character, Jonas gives sage advice about the BPO as well as life when he says:

This scene combined with the Scene in which Crooms explains the concept Obligate Mutualisms reflected in episodes title, sparks Sheila's imagination, leading to a lengthy discussion about Sheila's newly formed conspiracy theory about why Sense8 was canceled after this season. You are going to want to hear this.

Siddy Nickhead (Sidanthi Siriwardena) joins the podcast from Sri Lanka. You probably recognize Siddy from her many articles about Sense8 found on Media Rants, Whats on Netflix and Netflix Life.

If you have been hanging anywhere in the Sense8 social media fandom you have probably met Siddy who is a Sense8 Campaigner. She is one of the administrators of the Sense8 Fandom Official Facebook Group and a member of the I Am We Campaign.

Siddy shares the story of how Sense8 has changed her life. You will be surprised to hear what she was like before Sense8.

Zac, Sheila and Siddy explore the profound impact that Sense8 has on people who struggle to navigate their empathic gifts.

But first, Maximilienne Ewalt who plays Amanita's mom Grace on Sense8, stops by to share the details that led up to the heartbreaking cancellation of the San Francisco Mural Projects. More importantly she offers hope and advice to people inspired to donate time and money to future mural projects.

One of the most iconic moments of Sense8 is the Who Am I scene in this episode so of course Sheila and Zac dissect this scene to explore the multilayers of understanding within the exploration of self.

How does language impact our ability to lie and how did lying impact the human evolution? That is an intriguing concept that Nomi and Neets are challenged by in this episode and you can imagine Zac and Sheila have a lot to say about this. 

The theme of lying, trust and being understood carries into a conversation that Riley has with her dad and once again the music tells us a story as Riley's father sings her a line from the song Teenage Wasteland . Have a listen to the full lyrics to get the full message.

Sun and Wolfgang explore human nature in response to the metaphoric cages that hold us.

Time Staking is another theme that Sheila and Zac dive into. Time is not linear but rather it is fluid and layered. The interesting thing is that we navigate time with fluidity far more than we realize. When we communicate with Spirits are we speaking to a ghost or is it more than that? Could we be moving into a space beyond time? The Cluster seems to be doing this more frequently as they open to their gifts.

Sparked by Amanita asking,

"Why celebrate with symbols of war? Wars are always a failure."

Sheila and Zac begin by exploring the feeling of going crazy that can arise from within when we expand our consciousness from a singular me to a collective we.

Evidence from the Universe that we are expanding our mind rather than losing it can support us in our awakening. In this Episode, Riley and Will show an example of this need for evidence when they call each other on the cell phone.

Have you ever had an experience that helped you believe in something beyond our physical reality?

The title of this Episode is Demons, once again guiding us to look within to see how our own thoughts and beliefs influence our reality. Zac and Sheila discuss the true meaning of Demons.

The intensity of the relationships developing between the Cluster lead to a discussion about the concept Twin Flames.

What does being a We really mean?

How do we live in Oneness on earth and how does this effect the way we interact with others?

These are some of the discussions this week’s episode explores.

And of course, this episode of Sense8 give us the first Energetic Orgy. Leading Sheila and Zac to a discussion about sacred sexuality, the connection between sexual energy and creativity and the importance of honoring our physical being.

Who plays Grace (Amanita’s mom) in the Sense8 Series.

If you fell in love with her nurturing wisdom in Sense8 you will love her even more in person. As she says; she basically plays herself.

Maximilienne shares what it is really like to work with the Wachowskis and where the idea for Sense8 originated. 

Sheila and Zac invite Maximilienne into a conversation about some of the profound sentiments expressed in her lines as Grace.

Keeping it real, Maximilienne reminisces about her first Red Carpet Interview.

Oh! Make sure you listen for the Easter eggs Maximilienne shares as she sets us on a treasure hunt to uncover her pivotal scene in the upcoming special.

These three had so much to discuss they recorded for hours. So be sure to check out the uncut version on Patreon.

Of course, Maximilienne shared how Sense8 has impacted her life and how she sees herself living a Sense8 life through connections and advocacy including her involvement with the Sense8 Mural in San Francisco.

The day after recording, Maximilienne followed up with this beautiful note:

Dear Sheila and Zac,

Since our conversation, I've been more aware of and tuned in to all the "sense8bilities" that we, I have and live every day.

Whenever we can be there for a friend, or anyone really, in need, is another way of living a Sense8 life.

Last night I found myself talking on the phone to a friend who's been struggling deeply for a few years now, PTSD.

I found myself reading to her. I suggested she get in bed with a hot water bottle, which she did, while I read to her. I will do that every night this week, as she said it made her feel a lot better.

My point is that most of us I think, do this naturally with those we care about.

The question is, how can we extend a helping hand when needed, to those we don't know?

Of course, every time one donates blood or money or goods to those in need, they are living a Sense8 life.

I love the purpose of your podcast as it makes us think more about how we live and how we hopefully wish to evolve into more compassionate, and caring human beings who can help alleviate suffering and make the world a little gentler.

Maximilienne Ewalt

Sheila and Zac begin by analyzing the various ways communication within the cluster is depicted in this episode.

Shedding light on the nuances between, teleporting, telepathy, channeling and sharing senses.

Using Lito’s hilarious reaction to sharing Sun’s menstrual pain, Sheila and Zac discuss the impact of emotions and hormones on one’s ability to experience the fullness of life.

Nomi and Neets’ dialogue about the need to belong and impossibly being a kiss away from reality, sparks a conversation about romance and conscious relationships.

The title of this episode, Art Is Like Religion, directs our attention to a gun fight scene which Lito is shooting in an Art Museum for an upcoming movie. Through this scene the creators are giving us a window into the artistic process of shooting Sense8, once again blurring the lines between fiction and reality.

Of course, Kala’s epic wedding scene cannot be over looked, as another example of merging Art and Religion.

A lot more than meets the eye at first glance.

In this episode of Live Sense8, Zac and Sheila dive deep into What’s Going On Season 1 Episode 4 of the Netflix Original Series Sense8.

The title of this episode, What’s Going On, lends tribute to the episode’s iconic scene set to the soundtrack of 4 Non Blondes song by the same name.

As Amanita says, What’s Going On by 4 Non Blonds is the perfect song for a Lobotomy. 

This music video like scene has become an iconic reflection of the interconnectedness in this series as it weaves together the 8 Sensates.

This has even seeped off the screen into real life as Sense8 fans from around the world joined together in the tribute video.

But that is not all that is going on in this Episode.

There is so much more going on here.

Sheila and Zac dissect the message within the setting of the opening scene, as Felix shares his philosophical side in the Garden of Exile.

Have a listen to The Garden of Exile by Toby Martin to feel the Limbic Resonance of this space.

Sheila’s frustration with Sun’s family only amplifies in this episode as Sun’s father and brother use her mother’s memory to manipulate her into taking the fall for their extortion charges.

Kala’s visit to the Temple where she learns about her fiancé and future father-in-law’s reputation for corruption in both politics and pharmaceuticals, leads this dynamic duo (that’s Sheila & Zac) to a heated discussion about religion, politics and the layers of humanity consciousness.

And this is just some of what Sheila and Zac dive into during this episode.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"Smart Money Is On the Skinny Bitch" is a great line, but why make it the Episode title?

We know that the title within this series is always intended to direct our attention to an important scene. Zac and Sheila Discuss what makes this scene such a pivotal point in the series.

But First, Sheila finds an Easter Egg in this Episode as the writers speak to us about their own creative direction through Lito’s director. This may be one of the first signs that Sense8 would cross lines and create a relationship with its fans.

Triggered by Sun’s Mother’s dying words to her young daughter, Sheila discusses why it is so important to continue communication with loved ones who have died. Zac shares a story about his own mother’s death and how he later was able to reconnect with her to heal their past and begin anew.

Exploring the developing pharmaceutical counterfeiting storyline that begins to weave between Kala in Dubai and Capheus in Nairobi, leads to an in-depth conversation about corporations, governments and the individuals within them. 

Then of course, there is the ongoing discussion of who can we trust, and Jonas’s sage advice reminding us to trust ourselves.

Woah! Mind blowing concept right!? One that our world could use a little more of right now.

This is a concept that Sheila and Zac have dedicated their lives to sharing with others. (also known as Remembering Oneness) So you can imagine they have quite the discussion about what it means to be also a We.

In this episode of Live Sense8, Zac and Sheila dive deep into the second episode of Sense8 Season 1 on Netflix.

They could have done a whole episode on Nomi’s reading of her blog post about pride.

Like most of Sense8, there are so many layers in this simple scene.

One of the dichotomies that Sheila and Zac explore is fear and trust.

• Who do you trust with your most personal experiences?

• Can you trust your own intuition and instincts?

• How does fear influence your perceptions?

• What impact has your family had on your life decisions?

• How does society define your world perceptions?

These are just a few of the questions Zac and Sheila explore while discussing this episode.

Sounds deep right?

But they end with supernatural fun as they share their experiences with group cravings and teleportation.

In this episode of Live Sense8, Zac and Sheila dive deep into Sense8 Season 1 Episode 1: Limbic Resonance.

They dissect the opening scene, exploring some of the nuances and sharing their insights.

But first they take a deeper look at the episode title.

What is Limbic Resonance? And why is it important to the Netflix Original Series Sense8?

The first time Sheila and Zac watched this episode they breezed right over this important concept. Which is understandable as it’s slipped into one line of a conversation Riley has with some strangers.

There is just so much going on in this opening episode.

Preparing for this podcast they noticed the title was Limbic Resonance and went on a treasure hunt to discover what the term Limbic Resonance means and why this is the perfect window into the whole series.

Inspired by Nyx’s reference to a connection between DMT and Limbic Resonance, Zac explores the relationship of DMT and transcendence as he shares his personal experiences.

This leads the dynamic duo to a discussion about the Gateways that trigger each Sense8 to open to this new awareness.

They also share their interpretation of what Clusters would look and feel like in real life. Sheila shares some of her unusual experiences she’s had with the people in her cluster.

And that is just some of what Sheila and Zac dive into during this episode.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It is a brilliant creative expression of the concepts of consciousness.

Which is why Zac and Sheila were inspired to host a podcast using this show as a framework to explore how we can each evolve to living in these states of consciousness in our real life experiences.

Sense8 was created by the Wachowski Twins known for The Matrix back (1999), along with J. Michael Straczynski known for Babylon 5 (1994).

The world is ready for their creative genius and we are dedicated to supporting them in bringing this understanding into reality.

The phenomena is sweeping the world bringing fans from around the world together.

In this introductory episode Zac and Sheila tell you who they are (Juicy details), why they started Live Sense8 and why discovering this podcast could be the best thing to happen to you today.

Most importantly they tell you who each of them got on the "Who's your sense8 soulmate" quiz and which character they feel most alike. (Sheila's answer may surprise you)

No worries if you have not yet had the opportunity to watch this incredible series. In this first episode Sheila and Zac give you tips on how to experience the full brilliance of Sense8 for your viewing pleasure.

Thanks to Sarah Applegate for audio editing, Justin Applegate for composing and producing the opening music and of course Zac Hansen whose Technical Mastermind made this all possible!
