In the Northern Hemisphere, today marks the winter solstice designating a point in the year when we are afforded the shortest amount of daylight—of course, if you live in say Australia or Chile, you are experiencing the opposite. It is also around this time of year, that many of our spiritual traditions anticipate the return of light. Today we have reached our darkest moment and it is time for the light to slowly return. It is a time that represents optimism, rebirth, and fellowship. And it is a time that many of us call for “Peace on Earth”. Today, on Circle for Original Thinking, our host, Glenn Aparicio Parry will speak to us without guests, reflecting on the state of the world and the deeper meaning behind this time of year. With wars in the Ukraine and Gaza; global warming; political division; and the lingering fallout of the pandemic, this may seem like a bleak moment in history, but we will find reasons to be optimistic for a brighter future out of the darkness. Because, after all, that is what this time of year is all about. Whatever holiday you may be celebrating, let us share the message of “Peace on Earth” and “Goodwill to All”. 

In today's very special podcast we will re-air a discussion that was originally recorded and produced by our good friends at the East-West Psychology Department of the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) for their own program, the East-West Psychology Podcast (https://east-westpsychologypodcast.com/). The discussion itself is an introduction to a set of two conferences to be held at the California Institute of Integral Studies in celebration of “150 Years of Sri Aurobindo, the Pioneer of Integral Consciousness.” The conferences will take place over the course of a week, starting on September 23, 2023 and concluding on September 30. This discussion is hosted by the East-West Psychology Podcast producers, Stephen Julich and Jonathan Kay. In this conversation, Circle for Original Thinking host and current Jean Gebser Society president, Glenn Aparicio Parry is a guest, along with Debashish Banerji, Chairman of the East-West Psychology Department. We hope this program will provide our listeners with some background on these very important conferences, and the life and work of Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950) who was the key figure in the development of a form of spiritual practice he called  “integral yoga,” as well as the life and work of the Swiss philosopher and visionary, Jean Gebser, author of the magnum opus, The Everpresent Origin. THE CONFERENCES: The first conference, “Sustainability and Contemplative Civilization: The Integral Vision of Sri Aurobindo,” organized by the East-West Psychology Department (EWP) and the Asian Contemplative and Transcultural Studies concentration (ACTS), will engage with the possibilities, problems and potential of a sustainable civilization based on a contemplative praxis of deep relationality and extended identity as implicit in the vision and teaching of Sri Aurobindo and as explicit in the experimental community of Auroville.   The second conference, “The Emergence of Integral Consciousness: Jean Gebser, Sri Aurobindo, Carl Jung, Teilhard De Chardin,” organized by the Jean Gebser Society, will address the coming integral age as foreseen by Gebser, Aurobindo, Jung, and Teilhard de Chardin. Each of these visionary thinkers in their own way foresaw the emergence of a new structure of consciousness beyond the limits of rational thought. Debashish Banerji is a Bengali scholar and Haridas Chaudhuri Professor of Indian Philosophies and Cultures and the Doshi Professor of Asian Art at CIIS. He is also the Program Chair for the East-West Psychology department. Prior to CIIS, he served as Professor of Indian Studies and Dean of Academics at the University of Philosophical Research in Los Angeles, CA.Stephen Julich is currently core faculty in the East-West Psychology Department at the California Institute of Integral Studies where he teaches classes Jungian Depth Psychology and Western Mysticism, Magic and Esotericism.Jonathan Kay is a transcultural musician, and is currently a PhD student in the department of East-West Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco under the mentorship of Dr. Debashish Banerji.We wish to again state our very deep gratitude to the people at the East-West Psychology Department and the California Institute of Integral Studies for the critical work that they do every day, and their generosity in sharing the content of this episode with Circle for Original Thinking. For more information about the conferences:https://www.ciis.edu/events/150-years-of-sri-aurobindo-pioneer-of-integral-consciousnessAlso please visit:https://www.ciis.edu/https://www.ciis.edu/academics/department-east-west-psychologyhttps://east-westpsychologypodcast.com/https://gebser.org/www.jonathankay.ca

Today, the podcast starts with a prayer from our guest, Glenn Aparicio Parry, PhD (Humanities); East-West Psychology MA (both from CIIS), and now adjunct faculty at CIIS. Glenn speaks about his time as a student at CIIS in the 1980's and shares ideas that have gone into his current EWP course Original Thinking: Land, Language, and Consciousness from East-West and Indigenous Perspectives. We discuss foundational cosmological, psychological and philosophical ideas from Glenn's trilogy of books Original Thinking, Original Politics, and he reads from his forthcoming book Original Love. Glenn states that western thought places origin in a point in time, as in the temporal event of the Big Bang, while North American Indigenous thought identifies origin as a place, the latter being the eco-psychological basis of Glenn's work. We discuss Glenn's idea that “originally all thoughts were prayers” and ask how in contemporary times we can reconnect with the cosmogenesis of our culture as an unfolding spiritual journey of interconnectedness. The conversation goes deep, asking what our collective prayers are in contemporary times, grappling with how to overcome the shadow of modernity and colonialism, and begins to formulate holistic Indigenous and ecological models of how to create new future potentials. Glenn Aparicio Parry, PhD, of Basque, Aragon Spanish, and Jewish descent, is an educator, ecopsychologist, and two-time Nautilus award winning author of Original Politics: Making America Sacred Again (SelectBooks, 2020) and Original Thinking: A Radical Revisioning of Time, Humanity, and Nature (North Atlantic Press, 2015) and is currently writing Original Love, the third book in the trilogy. The founder and past president of the SEED Institute, Parry is currently an adjunct faculty member of the California Institute of Integral Studies, the president of the think tank: Circle for Original Thinking www.originalthinking.us and the host of the Circle for Original Thinking podcast. Parry organized and participated in the groundbreaking Language of Spirit Conferences from 1999 – 2011 that brought together Native and Western scientists in dialogue, moderated by Leroy Little Bear. Parry now regularly moderates dialogues for various organizations and has appeared in several documentaries, including SEEDing Change: A Retrospective of the Language of Spirit Dialogues and Journeying to Turtle Island, a biographic film exploring David Peat's life and participation in the dialogue circles by Spanish filmmaker Miryam Servet. He is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys hiking and fly fishing. He writes from a fairly remote location in northern New Mexico, where he lives amid wild horses, coyote and mountain lion with his wife Tomoko, dog Momo, and cat Cappuccino.

Glenn Parry believes that the way to cure our planetary challenges begins with a return to original thought. The way we think and interact with nature and each other, he says, affects everything. He believes that the shift to linear thinking is not our natural way, and explains that our rational thought is different from the kind of thought that connects us to the universe.

This week, Glenn Aparicio Parry shares directly with listeners some of his own thoughts about current events, putting them in a larger historical context. An uplifting but realistic peek at the founding of the United States, the history of the Republican and Democratic parties, emphasizing how much they have changed over time and could change again, perhaps even become defunct and have a new party form. The questions he examines are:  “Why stay optimistic during troubles times?” and “Is the world transforming in a positive way?” He reflects on human culture: Are we a destructive force that imagines we are separate and transcendent from nature? Or can we learn to listen and be directed by the wisdom that is found in the land? Can we merge ecological and social justice? Can we remember how to love nature, so that we love each other? Join us for a special podcast with Glenn Aparicio Parry.  The post Staying Optimistic in Troubled Times appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Here we explore the Native American influence on the founding of the United States and how putting our country back together in full integrity requires us to remember and respect the living roots of our nation. Parry states that the ultimate reason he is interested in politics is so that we can get to more kindness, compassion, and respect for Mother Earth.

Many Native Americans are still suffering from historical trauma from contact with European societies over the past five-hundred years. The negative impacts of colonization upon Native peoples have been undeniable and devastating—and the effects are ongoing. The colonists introduced numerous infectious diseases into Native populations against which they no immunity defenses. They also pushed Native populations to accept a Western education system and forced the adoption of the English language and other mainstream cultural and religious values. Many sacred sites were renamed in ways that were offensive to Native peoples.  Beginning in the 1830s with the Andrew Jackson administration, outright genocide was committed against Native peoples for much the remainder of the century—culminating in the Massacre at Wounded Knee that killed over three-hundred Lakota people. The genocide extended beyond the human. It included the destruction of the buffalo population, the main food source for all the Plains Indians. All told, colonization wiped out 90% of the Native populations on this continent (and the fate was even worse for the buffalo).  At the same time, Native American culture has been remarkably resilient. Native traditional ways have continued, even though many Native ceremonies had to go underground for some time. Ceremonies such as sweat lodge purification, pipe ceremony, and yuwipis continue and, importantly, these ceremonies are conducted for the benefit of all peoples and all our relations that share the planet. Beginning in the late 20th century, we have seen a revival of Native American customs that has been prophesized in many traditions. White buffalo calves, considered to be harbingers of peace prophesized in the Lakota White Buffalo Calf Woman oral tradition, have been commonly born since the 1990s. Something hopeful is being reborn.  I like to call this time a Turtle Island Renaissance, which like the European Renaissance looked to its past to help inform its path forward. In an era when mainstream economic and cultural values have taken us to the brink of extinction through climate change and rampant pollution, the nation and world has returned to welcoming Indigenous wisdom. But why should Native Americans trust this newfound interest in their ways? Can Native wisdom and ceremony bring us back from the brink of ecological destruction? Can we bring psychological and ecological healing for victim and perpetrator alike? These are just some of the questions we will be exploring today.  Join us as we delve into the power of forgiveness, compassion, and love, and also the power of gratitude and ceremony with Lakota elder Basil Brave Heart and his friend and mentee, Mike Three Bears Andrews. Glenn Aparicio Parry, PhD, of Basque, Aragon Spanish, and Jewish descent, is the author of Original Politics: Making America Sacred Again (SelectBooks, 2020) and the Nautilus award-winning Original Thinking: A Radical Revisioning of Time, Humanity, and Nature (North Atlantic Books, 2015). Parry is an educator, ecopsychologist, and political philosopher whose passion is to reform thinking and society into a coherent, cohesive, whole. The founder and past president of the SEED Institute, Parry is currently the director of a grass-roots think tank, the Circle for Original Thinking. He has lived in northern New Mexico since 1994. www.originalpolitics.us Mike Three Bears Andrews, (formerly known as Mike Two Bears Andrews— the third bear is for forgiveness) is a ceremonialist with a very inclusive definition of ceremonies that includes forgiveness ceremonies, holotropic breath work, shamanic drumming journeys, pipe ceremonies, prayer and healing circles, vision quests, purification/sweat lodges, yuwipis, workshops, and more. Mike is a Sun Dancer, a pipe carrier in multiple traditions, and regularly puts people out on vision quests in the lineage of the Muskogee Creek elder Marcellus Bearheart Williams, who he met in 1995. Mike has lived in Taos for the past quarter century.  Mike Three Bears Andrews was a board member of SEED, an organization that focused on education and dialogue circles with Native and Western scientists. Mike played a significant role in putting together the 2012 SEED conference, Wisdom from the Origins: The Mayan Calendar and Other Prophecies on the Future of Humanity.  Mike originally came from the corporate world with academic training in Chemical Engineering. He earned his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees from New Mexico State University.  Mike met Basil Braveheart years ago in passing, but it was in 2014 that Basil became a friend and important mentor to Mike. Basil Braveheart is a living treasure of the Lakota nation, a Lakota elder and teacher from the Pine Ridge Indian reservation in South Dakota.  Like nearly a third of Native American children of his generation, Braveheart was sent to a Catholic boarding school, part of a long-standing federal policy whose goal was to eradicate Native culture and religion. After 11th grade, Basil dropped out of school to enter the Korean War. The year was 1951. He was 17 years old. In Korea, the stress of war took his toll on him, and he began to drink to ease his pain. After returning from the war, he became a teacher, school principal and superintendent of schools. He holds dual MA degrees in both Educational Administration and Counseling.  Gradually, he began to realize that he needed treatment for alcohol abuse. He entered AA and became a recovering alcoholic—but it was not only the principles of AA that helped him—he combined those techniques with the spiritual practices of his Lakota heritage. In his 46 years of recovery, Braveheart has incorporated Native rituals like sweat lodges, sun dance and vision quest, and he has that found these rituals enhanced by his passage through addiction. Out of this came the autobiography The Spiritual Journey of a Brave Heart. Basil credits his grandmother for instilling in him the idea of healing ceremonies. She warned him against resentment toward the descendants of massacre perpetrators saying, “Don't hold it against these people. Pray for them.” Basil has conducted healing ceremonies for descendants of perpetrators and victims of the Wounded Knee Massacre of 1890 and the 1855 Battle of Ash Hollow, also known as the Harney Massacre. Because of General William S. Harney's role in the murder of women and children, Brave Heart led an effort in 2014 to rename South Dakota's tallest mountain from Harney Peak to Black Elk Peak, in honor of the late Lakota Sioux holy man Nicholas Black Elk.

In honor of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's passing, we do not have any guests on the program. Instead, Glenn Aparicio Parry offers his personal reflections on RBG in the context of American history and what he sees as America's sacred purpose: unity in diversity, a purpose yet to be realized. “Ruth Bader Ginsburg was Jewish but she was also catholic with a small “c.” She was a Universalist. She represented the universal good in human beings. And if she were Catholic, I believe she would be canonized. I also believe her legacy will not be polarization because Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be active in the spirit world. She will appear in people's dreams and visions. She will have an impact on events yet to unfold.” ~ Glenn Aparicio Parry _______________________________________________________________ Glenn Aparicio Parry, PhD, of Basque, Aragon Spanish, and Jewish descent, is the author of Original Politics: Making America Sacred Again (SelectBooks, 2020) and the Nautilus award-winning Original Thinking: A Radical Revisioning of Time, Humanity, and Nature (North Atlantic Books, 2015).

Under colonization, traditional forms of inclusive, consensus-based Native American governance were systematically replaced with Western forms of centralized, top-down leadership. Women, who once held an integral role in the political processes of many tribal nations, were pushed out or marginalized. Then, LaDonna Harris came along. Working with Indian societies to restore self-determination, and working with the federal government to improve the efficacy of tribal sovereignty, Harris has done much to revitalize traditional modes of tribal leadership, including for women. Harris would be the first to deflect credit away from herself, because all her work has been rooted in collaboration and any success she has achieved is because of the kinds of people she has brought together. Her work has been a model for inclusive, participatory leadership. And that model of leadership is what we will be talking about on this podcast edition of Circle for Original Thinking. In working within and between tribes, and between tribes and the federal government, Harris has effectively collaborated with non-Natives, gaining support for important causes, beginning with her husband, Fred R. Harris, a powerful senator from Oklahoma in the 1960s and 1970s, who was chairman of the Democratic National Committee in the late 60s and a candidate for the presidency in the 1970s. LaDonna Harris went on to recruit many non-Native allies and to mentor them in Indian ways of leadership that are not only effective for Indian causes, but could be effectively utilized in mainstream politics. Harris first met political scientist and author Stephen Sachs in 1990. Sachs was invited to her home after a political gathering and found her warmth and hospitality so intoxicating that he found it nearly impossible to leave. Reminiscent of Humphrey Bogart and Claude Rains from Casablanca, that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship—and also the beginning of a beautiful collaboration on a wide range of issues pertaining to traditional Native American ways of building respectful relationships and its potential application to contemporary political and social issues. Join us as we explore Native American leadership and the art of collaboration with LaDonna Harris and Stephen Sachs. “The dictionary definition of leadership is ‘a person who has control over others.' That's not right…Leadership is about bringing people together so they can solve problems … then reinforcing their identity so they feel strong enough about themselves so they (the group) can make their own decisions in a collective manner”  ~ LaDonna Harris    _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ Glenn Aparicio Parry, PhD, of Basque, Aragon Spanish, and Jewish descent, is the author of Original Politics: Making America Sacred Again (SelectBooks, 2020) and the Nautilus award-winning Original Thinking: A Radical Revisioning of Time, Humanity, and Nature (North Atlantic Books, 2015).

This work was a holistic consideration of returning Indian Nations to effective sovereignty, self-sufficiency and harmony, which was the forerunner of the new book Honoring the Circle: Ongoing Learning from American Indians on Politics and Society, a collaboration with 12 different writers including Donald Grinde, Bruce Johansen, Sally Roesch Wagner, Betty Booth Donohoe, et al) soon to be released by Waterside Publications. Sachs has also been the first Coordinating Editor and now Senior Editor of the journal Indigenous Policy for 20 years, and has been the Coordinating Editor of the Nonviolent Change journal for 39 years, and he was the Coordinating Editor and Senior Editor of Workplace Democracy for about 20 years.  Sachs received his MA and PhD in Political Science at the University of Chicago. In the 1980s, he began to be pulled into certain American Indian spiritual ways and ceremonies. This and other cross-cultural interests led to his meeting with Harris and their continuing collaboration. LaDonna Harris has been a catalyst in the development of Indian affairs for the past five decades. Her career began in her native state of Oklahoma, where in 1965, she brought together over 500 Native Americans from across the state to address the salient issues in their communities. Out of that seminal meeting, Oklahomans for Indian Opportunity (OIO) was formed and Harris was elected president along with 41 directors that read like a roll call of Oklahoma tribes.  In the Johnson administration of the 1960s, Harris, working sometimes with her husband Senator Fred Harris, and also with a group of American Indian leaders, many of them women, became a prominent presence on the national political scene. In 1968, she got President Johnson to agree to establish the National Council on Indian Opportunity, of which the main purpose was to shift American Indian politics toward representative input from Indian Nations. After Johnson decided not to run for reelection, Harris continued to work successfully with the incoming Nixon administration, partnering with Native leaders such as Ada Deer (Menominee), Pat Locke (Yankton Sioux), and Alma Patterson (Tuscarora), among many others. She and her partners succeeded in keeping Indian issues on the national political agenda from the 1960s to the 1990s. Among a long list of accomplishments, they succeeded in returning Blue Lake to the Taos Pueblo people, formed the Council of Energy Resources Tribes (CERT) to empower tribal nations to take control of their energy resources, and worked with the EPA to give input to Native nations in helping establish their own environmental policies. The key factor in Harris' success has always been her ability to bring together the right people and representatives from virtually all positions to talk through any given issue, help the parties understand each other's concerns, and reach consensus on a policy proposal. Her most overarching accomplishment may have been her concerted effort to develop true government to government relations between the tribes and federal, state, and local governments and agencies. Although much work remains to be done, Harris efforts have had an undeniably lasting impact. Nearly every initiative that has improved relations between Indian nations and the federal government since 1968 was previously advocated by Harris. In 1979, Ladies Home Journal named Harris as both Woman of the Year and Woman of the Decade, heralding her leadership and activism for overcoming inequalities imposed upon Native peoples. Since leaving Washington in the 1990s and moving to New Mexico, Harris main work has been with Americans for Indian Opportunity (AIO), an organization she founded in the 1970s. While she remains president of AIO, her daughter Laura Harris took over the position of Executive Director nearly twenty years ago, carrying on their mission to advance the cultural, political, and economic rights of Indigenous peoples in the United States and around the world. _______________________________________________________________ Traditional native flute music by Orlando Secatero from Pathways CD.Liberty song by Ron Crowder, Jim Casey and Danny Casey _______________________________________________________________ Feature image photo credit: Jackson David via Pixabay The post Native American Leadership and the Art of Collaboration appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

E Pluribus Unum–from the many to the one—seemingly describes a republic based on unity in diversity. Yet Thomas Jefferson, the same person who wrote “All men are created equal,” owned 600 slaves during his lifetime. How can we reconcile such incongruence? In previous podcasts we provided some clues, including the little known fact that the high-minded values of liberty, equality, and natural rights were influenced by, and often directly appropriated from, Native American societies that were truly egalitarian. But the founding fathers only appropriated what they understood or wanted to include. Specifically, they left out women and people of color—in so doing, they created an American shadow. A significant part of our history has been repressed or marginalized as a way of protecting white male privilege, a history we are only beginning to face. Strangely enough, we can thank the Donald Trump presidency for acting as a catalyst in revealing this American shadow. This has been dangerous because it has given license to previously suppressed forces to openly hate, but it has also been an opportunity to see America as it really is—and maybe to change.   Three and a half years into the Trump administration, the Black Lives Matter movement surpassed the Women's March to become the largest movement in world history. And while BLM has a much longer history, predating the Trump administration, it has now garnered a record number of allies to the cause. Is White America finally waking up? To discuss this and more, we are joined today by two creative men who have breathed new life into the concept of liberty and artistic expression. Through the merging of music, poetry, and social activism, they are making an impact in shifting the consciousness of America away from the politics of intolerance and exclusion toward the politics of love and inclusion. Ron Crowder and Hakim Bellamy teamed together on a video version of the song “Liberty” that graces the opening of each and every Circle for Original Thinking podcast. They are here to talk about that, BLM, unity in diversity, and much more.  “America is going through a reckoning now. Forty-nine to fifty-one percent of the country wants to admit we're racist and proceed with the remedy. The other half are like, nah, it's serving me well. Let's keep doing what we are doing.” ~ Hakim Bellamy “This is no ordinary time; this is no ordinary world we live in, no ordinary life, one thought could change the world but will it change our minds?All that we can ever know could unwind, collapse and then explode. This is the moment – one chance to be alive. This is the moment, it's time to realize who we are.”    ~ Ron Crowder from his song “This is the Moment” _______________________________________________________________ Thank you to our generous sponsors!

Native Americans not only influenced the founding fathers, they also inspired the ‘founding mothers': 19th century women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, and Matilda Gage. These women paid taxes but could not vote, could not run for office, had no right of divorce, and should they separate from their husband, were returned to them by police like runaway slaves. Native women, on the other hand, were fully equal in their society and played an integral role in political affairs and in keeping harmony with nature.

The problem with modern politics is that it excludes nature in its planning. Then, nature imposes her will—as she is doing now with the COVID-19 outbreak. What is the message and the learning in the emergence of the virus at this time?

Glenn Aparicio Parry is an author and scholar, focusing largely on American Indigenous culture and examining its commonly unknown though significant influence on the original thinking, Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. Parry's work goes far beyond this and into the depth of what is a Native articulation of mathematics, sacred geometry, governance, eco-systems and Physics. In his most recent book, Parry parries with the political phenomenon of Trump, the diminishing of America's soul and the crying need to make America, not so much great, but sacred again.

Glenn Aparicio Parry – Original PoliticsAired Wednesday, August 19, 2020 at 5:00 PM PST / 8:00 PM ESTAs I’ve shared on Destination Unlimited before, I was a child of the 1950’s and a product of the dramatic cultural changes of the 60’s and 70’s. Our generation had a vision of hope where all people would share in the dream and the promise of America with equality, humanity and compassion. Somewhere along the way, our vision blurred, our efforts lost focus, the dream turned into a nightmare and the promise was unfulfilled. Now we see bitter political partisanship, heated clashes over immigration, the climate crisis, income inequality, sexism, racism and gun violence. Our country was plagued with these problems long before COVID-19 hit. Is the United States headed for a second Civil War? Is our democracy facing the threat of extinction? My guest this week on Destination Unlimited, Glenn Aparicio Parry, sees the current state of turmoil, not as a harbinger of doom but as a sign of our potential for renewal. He foresees a political evolution that ultimately returns America to wholeness through our true sacred purpose: unity in diversity. Glenn Aparicio Parry is a writer, educational consultant, international speaker, and entrepreneur with a vision to reform thinking and education into a coherent, cohesive whole.

Glenn Aparicio Parry – From SCARED To SACREDNative Wisdom and Realizing America’s True DestinyAired Tuesday, August 4, 2020 at 2:00 PM PST / 5:00 PM ESTInterview with Glenn Aparicio Parry, Author of “Original Politics: Making America Sacred Again” “It’s time for political climate change – warmer hearts and cooler heads.”— Swami BeyondanandaThere’s disheartenment in the heartland.And while many blame that loss of heart due to heartlessness on the Trump presidency, more and more Americans are awakening to realize his “election” is more of a symptom than a cause. As Swami has said, “Donald Trump is America’s balloon karma payment.”American history – not unlike the history of humankind in general – has moved forward on two parallel and seemingly opposite tracks. One track, based on the Declaration of Independence, has sought to expand freedom, justice, equality and the common good. The other track has been the reactionary forces pursuing the obsolete and obsolethal meme, dominate-or-be-dominated.So those who dismiss our Founding Fathers as white elitists, many of them slaveholders, who allowed the genocide of Native People are right. And … those who recognize the founding principles, many of them based on the wisdom of the Iroquois Nation and other Native peoples, they are right too. And unless we reconcile these two “rights” it will be “last rites” for American democracy.Our guest on Wiki Politiki this week, Glenn Aparicio Parry, has a new book that highlights the Native wisdom at the foundation of the American system, and offers way to use that wisdom to restore – or maybe even establish for the first time – a sane and sacred center at the heart of our Republic.Glenn Aparicio Parry, PhD, is a writer, educational consultant, international speaker, and entrepreneur with a vision to reform thinking and education into a coherent, cohesive whole.

Today we see the emergence of a liberating new way of being in the world -one that weaves together the deep Nature wisdom of Indigenous traditions, the spiritual insights of Eastern philosophy, and the quantum breakthroughs of modern science. By making this worldview part of our daily lives, we usher in an era of greater health and awareness, for ourselves and for society.For all of the achievements of modern "progress," the Western way of thinking has led us - personally and collectively - to a crisis. We experience ourselves as fragmented beings, separated from one another and Nature, and this alienation has led to destructive behavior that endangers the future of life on this planet. But each of us has the potential to transcend this crisis, and leave the era of separation behind.Glenn Aparicio Parry calls this new world view ORIGINAL THINKING. Through Original Thinking, we can strip away the destructive practices of rationalist Western thought, and reconnect with the Source that brings us health and the experience of our truest selves."It is important to incorporate Native wisdom into our lives because the separation we feel is only illusory. Nature and human nature; being and Human Being, are One. The concepts we routinely use, the way we see the world, has perpetuated certain illusory ways to seeing and being in the world that are dangerous. We treat the plants, animals, and all the elements poorly because we don't understand theyare us," as Glenn shares. Join Julie Ann and Glenn to explore how ORIGINAL THINKING offers a radical revisioning of how we think - and what it means to be human.

Podcast 530: Original Thinking with Glenn Aparicio Parry by Greg Voisen
