Greg Carlwood reflects on meeting Maja D'Aoust at the Astro Gnosis conference and discusses the logistical difficulties of hosting live events. He shares more details about his refusal to sign Hollywood contracts, including a pilot he filmed with Jay Dyer and Isaac Weishaupt titled Pop Occulture. He emphasizes his commitment to maintaining total independence for The Higher Side Chats despite the financial temptations of traditional media.

Greg Carlwood welcomes Christopher Knowles back to the program to discuss a synchromystic year in review. Knowles, the author of "Our Gods Wear Spandex" and operator of the Secret Sun Institute of Advanced Synchromysticism, is introduced as an expert in decoding astro-rituals and psychodrama. The conversation begins by referencing Knowles' previous predictions regarding the 2024 eclipse and political shifts.

The Astro Gnosis 3 conference is scheduled for August 9-10 in Wheaton, Illinois, at the Theosophical Society. The event focuses on the figure of Sophia and the concept of simulated realities, featuring speakers such as Chris Knowles, Steven Snyder, and Mitch Horowitz. Miguel Conner emphasizes the importance of face-to-face interaction and "creating egregores" through physical gatherings to combat the isolation imposed by digital systems and "the empire."

The host confirms his attendance at the Astro Gnosis event in Wheaton, Illinois, noting he will also visit family in Chicago to remember his late father. A special discount code for the conference is provided exclusively for Higher Side Chats Plus members, offering 20% off physical tickets and 15% off online passes.
