(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) We first review of some of the themes explored last week. We look at the appropriateness of understanding and responding to social and political concerns, in the context of non-profit organizations and then in the context of the Buddha's teachings (which involved commentary on the caste system, on the origins of wars and poverty) and later Buddhist traditions (for example, King Ashoka, a practitioner in what is now India in 250 B.C.E. eliminated the death penalty, renounced war, and set up medical facilities for non-human animals). We then identify four foundations for bringing our attention to social and political concerns, including staying connected to the vision and practice of awakening and grounding ethically. This is followed by identifying, through the lens of teachings, six contemporary systems and ideologies (strengthened in the current U.S.) that manifest greed, aversion, and delusion and violate core ethical teachings. Then we look briefly at ways of practicing and responding individually, in connection with community. The talk is followed by discussion.

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) We first explore in general the relationship of core teachings and practices to the social and political dimensions of our lives. We see that Buddhist practice in the West has commonly emphasized meditation and inner practices, often neglecting or marginalizing the ethical training that traditionally is one of the three dimensions of training, even though the Buddha did often give social commentary (e.g., on the caste system) and at times social interpretations of the ethical precepts ("Let one not destroy life nor cause others to destroy life and, also, not approve of others' killing. . . . Let one not cause to steal, nor approve of others' stealing.'). We explore a vision of individual and collective awakening, inspired in part by more contemporary traditions of socially engaged Buddhism initially developed by pioneers like Thich Nhat Hanh, Sulak Sivaraksa, A.T. Ariyaratne, Dr. Ambedkar, Joanna Macy, and Robert Aitken. Then we give some attention to how to connect inner and outer practices, particularly focusing, as we did in the guided meditation, on practicing with challenging emotions and thoughts, and clarifying ways to act in the world. The talk is followed by discussion and ends with the setting of intentions.

But even a cursory look at some of the most basic theological tenets of high-control Christianity show this not to be the case. In this episode, Dan looks at two of the “core teachings” within high-control Christianity to show hoe faith deconstruction does, indeed, fundamentally challenge high-control religion.

This week's show is with Dr. Daniel M. Ingram, MD MSPH, a retired emergency medicine physician who works to improve the global relationship of science, clinical practice, mental health and the public to the phenomena that might be referred to as spiritual, meditative, energetic, mystical, psychedelic, magical, and related phenomena. To those ends, he is currently the founder, philanthropic supporter, and volunteer CEO and Board Chair of the Emergence Benefactors registered charity, and chief organizer and co-founder of the global Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium. He is currently involved in neurophenomenological research of advanced meditative states with colleagues at Harvard and has been a participant in numerous fMRI and EEG studies of advanced meditators, including at Harvard, Yale, U Mass, and Vanderbilt. He has published scientific articles in Pediatrics, Child Abuse and Neglect, and the Journal of Medical Toxicology. He is the author of Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha, co-author of The Fire Kasina, and co-founder of the Dharma Overground. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Esquire, Vice, Wired, BBC Radio 4, Evolving Dharma, American Dharma: Buddhism Beyond Modernity, Dan Harris' 10% Happier Podcast, Slate Star Codex Blog, Buddha at the Gas Pump, Meaning of Life TV, Deconstructing Yourself, Spiritual Explained website, Guru Viking, Buddhist Geeks, Cosmic Tortoise, Startup Geometry, Imperfect Buddha Podcast, and many others. In this conversation, Lian and Daniel explore what awakening really means, weaving between the modern non-duality and Neo-Vedanta ideas such as "you're already awake" and the more structured progressive paths, filled with stages, techniques, and deepening insights. They gently reveal the hidden challenges and the powerful gifts each path offers, opening up a conversation that's both timeless and deeply relevant. Lian shares how awakening can happen spontaneously, profoundly reshaping lives, while Daniel draws from his extensive experience in various spiritual communities and traditions. Together, they explore the subtle nuances of spiritual growth, shadow integration, and the vital practice of staying present to this very moment. Their personal experiences effortlessly blend with mythic and traditional wisdom, highlighting the beautiful paradox of human growth. They also discuss practical tools like the five Buddha families, attachment styles, and why working with our shadows is essential. Daniel stresses how important personalised practice and honest community feedback are on this journey. Their conversation gently challenges the seductive myth of spiritual perfectionism, offering instead a grounded, compassionate invitation towards continual transformation and deeper self-awareness. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What You'll Learn From This Episode: How clearly seeing the strengths and limits of modern non-dual teachings and progressive spiritual approaches helps you create a spiritual practice that's deeply meaningful, nourishing, and aligned with who you really are. Why recognising and embracing your shadows—those hidden emotional patterns and parts of yourself—is essential for reclaiming your wholeness, bringing more emotional freedom and a deeper sense of authenticity. How using personality frameworks like the five Buddha families and attachment styles can help you personalise your spiritual journey in a way that genuinely honours your unique nature.

In this episode I once again host a dialogue between Daniel Ingram and Delson Armstrong. Daniel Ingram is an independent Buddhist writer, author of ‘Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha', and co-founder of the Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium (EPRC). Delson Armstrong is a spiritual teacher, author of 'A Mind Without Craving', and founder of the Freedom of Mind foundation. Daniel offers his response to Delson's recent renunciations, warns about the power of self hypnosis, and explains why it is so common for people to revise their enlightenment claims. Delson considers how it was that he mistook the nature of his spiritual achievements, considers the impact of his renunciation on his practice community and students, and looks ahead to his own future as a teacher and guide. Daniel and Delson address criticisms they have both received for their revisions of important Buddhist doctrines such as the 4 path model of awakening, comment on gatekeeping and fundamentalism in Buddhism, and consider whether advances in contemplative neuroscience may pose a serious threat to traditional religions and their institutions. … Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify. … 01:51 - The situation 04:36 - Daniel's response to Delson's renunciation 07:14 - Early schism in Buddhism 08:20 - Does Daniel feel vindicated? 09:42 - Delson reflects on what he has learned from Daniel 12:34 - The snake has shed its skin 13:29 - Profound not simple 14:26 - Neurodiversity and the spiritual path 16:54 - Hypnotising yourself into believing you're enlightened 19:17 - How did Delson get his enlightenment wrong? 22:22 - Social factors 24:13 - A gradual process 25:06 - Gatekeepin in Buddhism 27:35 - Jack Kornfield and Christopher Titmuss 30:51 - Social influence on perceptions of spiritual progress 33:35 - Relationships 35:21 - The World Without Sin 38:43 - Can you ever go back?

What you'll learn from this episode: Spiritual awakening can lead to significant challenges and disruptions in life - historical texts have long acknowledged the challenges of spiritual practices. Recognising this means we can seek traditions that include guidance and remedies for difficult experiences.

Welcome To Channeling

In this episode of "Welcome to Channeling," Gwen Juvenal's guest is Marie Chieze, a psychiatrist and author who has written a book that distills some of the teachings she has received during her apprenticeship with a shaman. The episode focuses on Marie's journey of integrating her scientific background with spirituality, leading to the creation of a book that bridges these worlds. The discussion highlights key concepts from the book, including the importance of self-love, the role of suffering in spiritual growth, and the pursuit of wholeness over perfection.Key Areas of Discussion:Introduction and Marie's Background:Gwen introduces Marie and expresses excitement about discussing her book, which is grounded in both spiritual and psychological principles. Marie shares her journey from being a psychiatrist at a university hospital in Geneva to becoming an apprentice to a shaman, driven by her quest to find answers that neither science nor traditional religion could provide.The Shamanic Influence:Marie recounts her transformative experience meeting the shaman, whose ability to push people beyond their limits and heal deep-seated illnesses inspired her to stay and learn from him. This relationship deeply influenced the content of her book, which is structured around the teachings she received during her apprenticeship.Writing the Book:The heart of the episode revolves around Marie's process of writing the book. Initially, the shaman was hesitant to have his teachings documented, but he eventually allowed Marie to use his quotes to create a book that makes complex spiritual and psychological concepts accessible to a broad audience.The book is designed to be both practical and profound, with each chapter offering short, digestible insights that readers can reflect on in their daily lives. The goal was to translate deep spiritual teachings into simple, relatable concepts.Core Teachings in the Book:Marie and Gwen discuss the foundational concepts presented in the book, such as the three cornerstones of spirituality: divine love, free will, and eternity. These principles are explored through various quotes from the shaman, which Marie has elaborated on in the book to help readers integrate these teachings into their lives.A significant theme in the book is the distinction between perfection and wholeness. Marie shares her personal journey of moving away from the pursuit of perfection—a mindset rooted in judgment—towards embracing wholeness, which allows for growth and evolution.The Role of Suffering and Healing:Another key topic in the book is the role of suffering in spiritual development. Marie explains how suffering is often a result of false beliefs and misalignment with divine principles, and how healing involves clearing these false beliefs to express one's true nature.The book emphasizes that healing is not just about overcoming physical or psychological ailments but also about aligning with spiritual truths that lead to greater freedom and self-expression.Self-Love as a Central Theme:Gwen and Marie explore the theme of self-love, which is central to the book's message. They discuss how true self-love is rooted in the understanding that we are inherently worthy of love, regardless of our flaws or mistakes. This theme is tied to the book's broader message of spiritual evolution and the importance of aligning with divine love.Channeling and Final Reflections:The episode concludes with a channeling session by Gwen, offering Marie words of encouragement from the spiritual realm. The message reinforces the importance of continuing to share the book's teachings creatively and accessibly, helping others connect with the profound wisdom it offers.#SpiritualBook#ShamanicWisdom#SelfLoveJourney#HealingThroughSuffering#WholenessOverPerfection#DivinePrinciples#SpiritualEvolution#Channeling#PsychologyAndSpirituality#BookDiscussionSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/welcome-to-channeling/exclusive-content

In this episode I am joined by Duncan Barford, occult practitioner, counsellor, and author of ‘Occult Experiments in the Home'. Duncan discusses his own journey into the occult including reality-bending experiments with Chaos Magick, invocation of his holy guardian angel, identifying and relating to entities, and meeting his long-time collaborator, the magician and spiritual teacher Alan Chapman. Duncan recalls his first encounter with Daniel Ingram's “Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha”. He explains how he combined Daniel's approach with Western occult methods and rituals to attain arhatship for himself. Duncan declared his enlightenment on the internet and began teaching awakening in a short-lived venture called “Open Enlightenment”. Duncan reflects on the strongly negative reactions that both his declaration and teaching project received. Duncan also comments on demonic affliction, both his own experiences as well as those of recent podcast guest Mattias Daly, the influence of social class and geographic location, navigating kundalini crisis, the intersection of mysticism and magick. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep265-occult-experiments-duncan-barford Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:19 - Occult experiments in the home 02:38 - Duncan comments on Mattias Daly's demonic affliction 04:34 - Demonic or kundalini awakening? 06:27 - - Duncan's own kundalini crisis 08:44 - Seeking guidance from Tara Springett 11:39 - Identifying entities 14:19 - Duncan's specialism in counselling those having unusual occult experiences 17:05 - Finding the best paradigm 19:38 - Does Duncan prescribe magickal practice? 21:50 - Spirituality vs everyday life 24:42 - Meeting Alan Chapman and sustained interest in the occult 26:59 - Invocation of the Holy Guardian Angel 27:57 - Encountering Daniel Ingram and bringing awakening back to magick 30:31 - Duncan's childhood interest in the supernatural and strange 33:13 - Gothic horror and psychoanalysis 33:52 - Beginning to explore magickal practice 35:03 - Moving from intellect to feeling and emotion 36:32 - Abandoning a PhD, meditation frustration, and life crisis 44:12 - Encountering Chaos Magick and leaning to bend reality 46:26 - Envy of Daniel Ingram and reception in the Chaos Magick community 49:40 - Are mysticism and spirituality compatible with magick? 51:09 - Using magick to induce mystical experiences 52:44 - Declaring arhatship and attaining the four paths 57:45 - Powerful experience with Andrew Cohen 01:01:43 - Advice from Christopher Titmuss 01:03:50 - Dreaming of Gary Numan 01:05:25 - Is arhatship the end of enlightenment? 01:07:09 - Duncan asks Steve's opinion 01:09:07 - Did Duncan and Alan keep pace in their awakening path? 01:10:03 - The 3 doors and awakening with visions 01:13:39 - Fire kasina retreat with Daniel Ingram 01:16:26 - Why did Duncan declare arhatship? 01:17:59 - Ego inflation through magickal practice 01:19:08 - Negative responses to declaration of enlightenment 01:19:54 - Failure of Open Enlightenment and the compulsion to share one's awakening 01:24:49 - Is UK conducive to spiritual and magickal work? 01:27:27 - Reflections on being working class 01:28:33 - Travellers vs locals 01:29:15 - Comments on the spectrum of entities 01:31:09 - Discount code for the Baptist Head Compendium

Drawing from key texts, Michael explains how karma is intertwined with our experience of interdependence. The Buddha emphasizes that our feelings, thoughts, and actions are shaped by conditions in the physical world, not by past lives or external fate. Clinging to these constructs causes suffering.

We refer to practices designed to lead to emergent phenomena, such as meditation, psychedelics, yoga, prayer, etc., as emergent practices. As emergent practices continue to scale up in society, our aim is to give healthcare systems, mental health providers, and those who are helping to teach and promote various practices the information they need to make better decisions about how to both promote the benefits of these practices and manage the different effects that they can produce. The Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium's mission is to use ontologically agnostic, multidisciplinary, first-person, psychometric, neurophenomenological, biochemical, and clinical scientific methods to conduct studies on emergent practices and phenomena to generate clinically relevant information that can add value to practitioners, patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

In the sixth episode of our series, Michael explores how meditation can facilitate a gentle openness to life. Drawing from Allen Ginsberg's translation of Basho's poetry and the Buddha's teachings on "Conditioned Arising" and "Consciousness," Michael delves into the interconnectedness of existence. According to the Buddha, even consciousness arises dependently, shaped by moment-to-moment conditions. Like a tree shedding its leaves, the mind can release its attachments to thoughts. Meditation acts as medicine, nurturing self-awareness and creating space for kindness towards ourselves. Join us to discover how meditation can help us connect intimately with ourselves and others.

In the fifth episode of our series on the core teachings of the Buddha, Michael challenges common interpretations of nirvana and The Four Noble Truths. Drawing from "The Noble Quest" in the Majjhima Nikaya, Michael presents nirvana as something subtle and accessible within our lived experience, rather than a distant state to be attained through practice. The Buddha's awakening is portrayed as earthly and non-absolute, suggesting that nirvana is not a fixed destination but a continuous process. By literalizing religious concepts and grounding them in everyday life, the Buddha invites us to confront impermanence and let go of rigid identities.

“If we'll stand in the light together, have fellowship with Jesus and with each other, then I can tell you the truth, and you can tell me the truth, and as we exchange the truth, we build this beautiful trust.” - Danny SilkWhat does it mean to be powerful—as a person, in your relationships, and in your growth and development? Many of us might think of “powerful people” as strong, dominant, and maybe even aggressive, but truly powerful people are those who direct themselves in specific priorities, self-manage, choose love over fear, honor and respect others, and set healthy boundaries. These are people committed to glorifying Christ with their lives, and their health creates safety for others, flourishing relationships, and covenant connections. In this episode, Liz connects with Danny Silk, who is the President and Co-Founder of Loving on Purpose, a ministry to families and communities worldwide, as well as a Leader, and a bestselling author.Throughout their conversation, Danny shares about how powerful people are made as they pursue health in the light of Christ's example and love. He also discusses the way that fear attempts to remove us from health, and what we can do to re-empower love and connection in our lives over control and anxiety. Danny shares that, in our world today, there is some confusion around what true safety in relationship looks like. In true safety, we are able to show others who we really are accompanied by their desire and intentionality in pursuing understanding us, and that we are able to do the same for them. As this exchange takes place, we are able to build trust.Danny also unpacks how vital it is for us to learn how to language our feelings rather than acting them out, citing the practice as a hallmark of true maturity and health. He reminds us that our journey is to become fearless in our relationships, and notes that it's in the exchange of truth with one another that we experience freedom and intimacy.As the conversation continues, Danny covers five keys for keeping your love on towards others, what codependency really is and how Jesus modeled healthy boundaries in relationship, and what it means to build towards covenant connections in our lives. We pray that as you listen to this conversation, that you would feel a stirring to pursue health, wholeness, and empowered living in your relationships, glorifying Christ and transforming the world through love.Related Materials:KYLO University exists to help you strengthen each of these vital relationships.
