The Visionary Human Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/the-visionary-human Most people inherit a way of seeing the world. Few ever stop to ask whether it's true. The Visionary Human is an invitation to do exactly that. This podcast is for the rare few—for those willing to question the presumptions of society, think independently, and consciously participate in the evolution of what it means to be human. We are living through a profound transition in human consciousness. The old maps of success, identity, and fulfillment are no longer enough. A new way of being is emerging—one that calls for deeper awareness, greater courage, and a life lived from vision rather than conditioning. Each week we explore the frontiers of consciousness, science, philosophy, psychology, creativity, leadership, spirituality, and human potential—not as separate disciplines, but as parts of one timeless question: What does it truly mean to be human? Rooted in the timeless wisdom of Yoga and Ayurveda—and enriched by modern science, philosophy, psychology, and the creative arts—this podcast explores consciousness not as an abstract idea, but as a lived experience. This isn't about becoming a better version of yourself. It's about remembering who you were before the world told you who you should be. You won't find surface-level advice, empty motivation, or spiritual clichés here. Instead, expect deep conversations, original ideas, timeless wisdom, and practical insight with visionaries, scientists, philosophers, artists, entrepreneurs, contemplatives, and courageous thinkers who are helping shape a more conscious future. Hosted by Mariko Bhakti, founder of Visionary Yoga, author, teacher, and lifelong student of Yoga, Ayurveda, and human potential, this podcast bridges ancient wisdom and modern insight to help you see with fresh eyes, live with greater intention, and create a future that is consciously chosen rather than unconsciously inherited. If you've ever felt there must be more to this human experience... If you've ever questioned the obvious... If you've ever sensed that another way of living is possible... Welcome. You've come to the threshold.

A history. A fairly convincing explanation of why certain things are simply “not you.”

But how did all of that become you?

In this very first episode of The Visionary Human, we’re going down a rabbit hole that deserves more of our attention: the architecture of identity.

Yoga has quite a lot to say about the “me” running your life. We’ll explore the three malas—the veils described in Kashmir Shaivism—and samskaras, the impressions that become familiar patterns of thought, feeling, and response.

The Sanskrit may be unfamiliar. The experience probably isn’t: something feels missing, an old reaction takes over, and yesterday somehow gets to write today’s script.

How much of what you call “who I am” is simply what has become familiar?

Come curious. You may leave a little less certain about your limitations.
