8 Old Gods That Are Dying Before our eyes

Lightning Crashes – The Death of Old Ideas & The Birth of the New

“The mother dies, the baby cries, the lightning crashes — and consciousness evolves.”

In this episode, George Monty takes us into the storm.
Drawing inspiration from the song “Lightning Crashes” by Live, this broadcast becomes a living metaphor for our times — where old systems convulse and collapse while new ones emerge, gasping for their first breath.

George explores how the death of old ideas isn’t tragedy — it’s transformation.
It’s the end of control, the beginning of participation.
It’s the sound of lightning splitting the sky of the collective mind.
