Listen " Episode 36: P is for Passionately Pontificating During Pisces Season."
Episode Synopsis
Some of the topics I cover in this episode include, but aren’t limited to:
My Friday, March 11, 2011 story relating to Japan’s Great Tohoku earthquake where I talk about tedious Japanese public junior high school graduations and how the way I handled that tedium led me to an amazing experience that gives me a foundation for questioning scientific materialism’s position on consciousness; the implications of Whitley Strieber’s book “A New World” and what it means about the elasticity of consciousness among species; Dean Radin’s research on pre-cognition and the collective conscious as it relates to 9/11; more 3/11/2011 earthquake aftermath memories and how my wife and I were able to make it a fun experience for my son; why responding to care for each other during crisis is a human thing, not only a Japanese thing; asking why we can’t both express compassion for those suffering from the tragic outcomes of current events and discussing them from a more meta perspective to determine how we got here so we don’t repeat it again; feeling livid about how our more positive emotions are being used to control us; diving into Integral Theory and whether critiques that it’s too elitist are correct, and how I see a mature understanding of and using Integral Theory as being one that humbles a person and gives them great respect for everyone; why PostModern/Green/Level 6 in Integral Theory has its own form of authoritarianism; and why true Integralists can’t be authoritarians.
