The host prepares us for an upcoming effort to seek an interview with The Female, who may or may not be related to the goddess of the ancient (and future) earth religion. The rites of that goddess religion are invoked by the Church of Immanent Life, and others, as they prepare their own delegation to the situation in Wheeler County, CO. Elsewhere, the spirits prepare a play within a play, exploring the themes of expropriation and exile in the New World, and the origins of American ideals in a shipwreck on the Isle of Bermuda. Finally, a voice from the near future tells her story of a dangerous border crossing to rescue her daughter, who is in the grip of an artificial intelligence with ulterior motives.

Episode 1 explores what it will take to really transform ourselves in a movement of love and fearless action, extended consciousness, facing the collapse of the natural planet, civilization, and social order. Episode 1 introduces the Tower Guard, a radical Satyagraha force organized on a national scale, that seeks to bring about the collapse of all illusion, and reveal What Must Come Next. How did the Tower Guard start? Who are the people who participate? What transformation of self-image and worldview is required to participate? Episode 1 introduces the Ghostbox, a device which gives means to voices from other times and places, living and dead, to tell the story of The Great Turning of Consciousness on the brink of the Sixth Great Extinction. Join our host as he weaves interviews, current (and future) events with investigations into the reality beyond the normal/paranormal divide in a quest to find out what is really happening.
