My name is Mark Viscente.

I'm a director, producer, writer, and troublemaker.

I'm not totally certain if the trouble finds me or I find it.

I'm most known as the director of the film What the Bleep Do We Know?

And as one of the Nixium whistleblowers featured in the HBO series, The Vow.

Let's just say I know a thing or two about cults.

I don't consider myself a cult expert, but I'm definitely an expert in being screwed over,

waking up, and knowing how to spot them.

And let me tell you, they're everywhere.

As you'll hear, I have a pretty salty approach to most things,

and I'm utterly fascinated by the patterns in human behavior that create the best and the worst in society.

I'm part geek, part rebel, and pissed off about a whole bunch of things.

Join me as I unpack a whole range of topics to do with psychology, spirituality, consciousness,

morality, cults, narcissistic abuse, science, filmmaking, and philosophy.

You never quite know where you're going to get,

as it really does depend on what the fuck is on my mind.

Hello, it has been a while.

So what's been on my mind recently is emotional repression.

I've been thinking a lot about it.

I was thinking about a moment in my early 20s when I was, I'd really immersed myself in New Age philosophy, which is actually New Age religion.

And I went to visit a friend of mine in Cape Town, who I went to university with. And he wanted to do a

reading on me. And I confessed something to him after the reading that had been really bothering me for about a year.
