About Forrest
After his father passed away in his early twenties, Forrest decided to let go of the idea he had for his life based on the expectations, conditioning, and cultural constructs he took on as a young person and dive deep into healing, developmental, and awakening journeys.
After nearly a decade of playing in the unseen world, Forrest has found connection to a tremendous passion for supporting a humanity to live life more fully. By embodying a way of being that is palpably alive, clear, penetrative, and illuminating, Forrest invites folks around him to play all out.
The experience of being around Forrest is oftentimes described as intense. Intensely loving, clear, challenging, and sometimes confronting. The term "The Forrest Wilson Experience" has emerged from a group of people to describe that people can't not transform and develop when they hang around Forrest.
This podcast has been building in Forrest for over a decade, and is launching now as an invitation for every person to let go of who we pretend to be, to suspend pretending, and get raw, real, honest, and clear with each other.
Forrest invites the folks he meets along the journey of life to join in a field of loving, healing, wholehearted awareness where we can see and be seen by each other as the universe unfolds into greater expressions of juicy aliveness and vibrant being-ness.
Forrest and the other luminaries and pioneers who gather for these recordings vibrantly emanate the essence of who we all are while blazing trails of vivacious consciousness into the future-now together.

"We are the Divine Creators of our Reality" - Tim Shields
In this episode, Forrest Wilson sits down with writer, editor, and literary collaborator Tim Shields (host of The Inciting Incident podcast and author of A Curious Year in the Great Vivarium Experiment) for a wide‑ranging, deeply mystical conversation about consciousness, creativity, and the future of humanity.
Tim shares the “inciting incident” that cracked him open at 17 during a psychedelic mushroom journey at a Grateful Dead concert, and how that experience set him on a lifelong path of writing, travel, and spiritual exploration. He unpacks his upcoming book Dream Tethering, introduces his model of self‑actualization called the Circletron, and explains why he believes we are a threshold species standing at a pivotal evolutionary moment.
Along the way, Forrest and Tim explore time as a river of information, receiving “downloads,” working closely with Dr. Joe Dispenza and Dr. Zach Bush, navigating grief and generational trauma, and how artists and conscious media can be “lighthouses” in support of birthing a new world.
In This Episode, Tim and Forrest Explore:
- Gratitude, Intention, and Synchronicity
- The long‑term impact of writing 5 gratitudes + 5 intentions every day since 2010.
- How this practice helped catalyze synchronicities and surprising opportunities in work, travel, and income.
- Today’s intentions become tomorrow’s gratitudes
- Working with Dr. Joe Dispenza & Becoming Supernatural
- Tim first met Dr. Joe at a workshop in 2010 and recognized him as a key teacher
- Living in Dr. Joe’s material for years as the editor of Becoming Supernatural
- Dream Tethering: Creating the Life of Your Dreams
- Dream Tethering as pulling your dream to you instead of chasing it.
- Being the vortex and torus field
- The Circletron: A New Model of Self-Actualization
- Concentric circles representing different levels of consciousness and possibility
- Each ring made of many points: “possibilities in space and time”
- Early life: expanding out, exploring experiences; later life: returning toward the center
- The Circletron as a torus field—a dynamic, circulating field of energy and experience
- To get to the next level of consciousness you must overcome at least one of:
- Fear
- Trauma
- Limited thinking
- Staying stuck at one level when you don’t face those thresholds
- Time as a River of Information, Downloads, and The Fractal Present Moment
- Time as a river of information flowing through us
- The more present we are, the more information we are aware of
- Different kinds of “downloads”
- Threshold Species & Conscious Media
- We’re in the “birth canal” of a new phase of human evolution—painful but purposeful
- Humanity as a threshold species recognizing we are more energy than matter.
- The press as a “perception machine” that hijacks fear and divides.
- Why artists, leaders, and conscious storytellers are essential lighthouses for a new earth in a noisy world.
