I had the privilege of participating in his Writing at the Wellspring course, which provided transformative perspectives on creative practice.Matt Cardin is an author known for delving into the realms of horror and the metaphysical. His widely acclaimed fiction books, including To Rouse Leviathan and What the Daemon Said, focus on the convergence of horror with religion and creativity.With a Ph.D. in leadership and an M.A. in religious studies, Matt brings a richly layered understanding to these topics.

And then there's this infinitude that it also lets in that is going to blow up that world. You might receive that as horror. You might receive that as joy… Religion is a perturbing or disturbing of the universe, including the universe that is oneself and the entire conception that goes with it that is provided by the religion to possibility to tip over from horror or to bliss or whatever is right there.”On Life Mission, Creativity Make a monastery out of your life, a monastic preservation and cultural transmission activity, the mission of your life here in the world.

No one is in bondage. Only the choice to believe the ego narratives diverts the attention from the Supreme Presence within—and equally without. This is a universal truth. The illumined sages of every spiritual lineage have passed this on as their legacy. That is why it is often called the Perennial Philosophy. But theoretical knowledge is not enough: The habit of forgetfulness of Self must be abandoned.

Previous BatGap interview with Mark Doug Scott, LCSW, works as a mental health counselor in his private practice in Dallas, Texas.  After graduating from college in 1997, he served as an international volunteer for two years in Bluefields, Nicaragua. This intense experience changed his life and he returned to the US to pursue graduate studies in clinical social work and pastoral ministry at Boston College. The nexus of spirituality and psychology have always intrigued Doug since childhood and he brings this sensibility to his counseling practice. Doug grew up Catholic and was always drawn to the mystical lineage within this belief system.  He had experiences with Jesus, Mary, and angels at an early age. He was also secretly attracted to all things paranormal and would spend many hours reading topics such as reincarnation, ufology, OBE's, NDE's, ghosts, ESP, pyramids, and other areas. One evening in 2013, he felt a presence that invited him to listen to a Buddhist chant, which came as a surprise since, at that time, he had not explored other faith systems. He was guided to listen to Om Mani Padme Hum and as the chant unfolded, Doug saw a golden dew overshadow him and activate him in a way that was new.  This marked the next chapter in Doug's life. A few months later, Doug was led to the Law of One material and immediately saw that it provided the clearest, most undistorted, exploration of the Perennial Philosophy that he'd ever come across. It also cast a wide net to include all of the paranormal things that intrigued him and made it possible for him to put all of the different threads in his life together in one seamless garment. Since 2015, Doug has written a blog (cosmicchrist.net) that explores the synthesis of the Law of One material with mystical Christianity and psychology.  He sees his vocation in this lifetime as a bridge-builder between conventional concepts and cosmic metaphysics to help people who seek clarity, normalization, and validation for their own journeys.

In today's episode we are called upon to look within ourselves to discover both identity and healing.  Our guest is the best-selling author, Dawson Church, PhD, who will talk about some of the specifics behind mental and spiritual healing. The discussion will focus a great deal on brain function and the healing process which occurs in the brain when coping with stress or trauma. How effectively we cope with this and how quickly can depend on a number of factors, and there are proactive exercises which we can engage in to achieve a higher state of well-being and develop greater resilience. Dr. Church is a major advocate of the EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) method which is a form of touch therapy that utilizes acupressure meridians in its administration. He will speak in depth about how this therapy can be an important treatment for a variety of concerns.Dawson Church, PhD, is an integrative health-care researcher and an award-winning author whose best-selling book, The Genie in Your Genes, has been hailed by reviewers as a "breakthrough in our understanding of the link between emotions and genetics." He is also author of Mind to Matter: The Astonishing Science of How Your Brain Creates Material Reality and his most recent book, Bliss Brain: The Neuroscience of Remodeling Your Brain for Resilience, Creativity, and Joy.Author of many books on healing trauma, he is a pioneer in the field of epigentics and a national leader and professional trainer in Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), a modality endorsed by the Veterans Administration as an alternative method suitable for work with veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). He has edited or authored more than 200 books in the fields of health, psychology, and spirituality. Books on which he has worked have won more than two dozen awards, including Best Health Book (Independent Press Awards) and Best Science Book (USA Book News Awards), and his research summaries of the biomedical evidence for consciousness-based treatments provide the scientific underpinnings for this emerging field. Founding director of the Veterans Stress Project, he also founded the National Institute for Integrative Healthcare to study and implement promising evidence-based psychological and medical techniques. His groundbreaking research has been published in prestigious scientificjournals. He also shares how to apply these breakthroughs to health and athletic performance through EFT Universe, one of the largest alternative medicine sites on the web. The editor of Energy Psychology: Theory, Research, & Treatment, a peer-reviewed professional journal, Dawson Church has been quoted in USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, and Parenting, and he has appeared on CNN and other national media. https://dawsonchurch.comFor courses, Dawson's newest The Short Path to Oneness:  https://eftuniverse.com/short-path/Free gift/newsletter sign up:  www.dawsongift.com

The Perennial Philosophy, or Perennialism for short, claims that the depth traditions found within the major world religions all converge upon the same metaphysical vision - namely, the identification of our deepest selves with a divine, transcendental ground. Popularized by Aldous Huxley in his 1945 The Perennial Philosophy it has a natural appeal to many thinking, spiritually inclined individuals - including those who have never explicitly heard of it. - Jon In this debate Jonathan will critique the perennial philosophy; Zevi will defend it. Jonathan Weidenbaum is a professor of philosophy and world religions at Berkeley College. Zevi Slavin is a seeker, a teacher, and creator of Seekers of Unity.

Thus, it is not an uneducated essentialist desire, but religious integrity or philosophical urgency that leads those who no longer find an exclusive claim by any single tradition convincing to seek an underlying unity and to investigate the equivalence of symbols under their diversity.” - Charles Davis in his review of Mysticism and Philosophical Analysis, by Steven Katz, ed.

Holding a Ph.D. in (Ecological) Economics and having studied international development, political science, and management, Thomas Legrand works in the field of sustainability for UN agencies, private companies, and NGOs. His focus is on forest conservation, climate change, sustainable finance, and organizational transformation.His spiritual journey began at the age of 23 with an encounter with native spirituality in Mexico, before embracing the wisdom of a wide range of traditions and practices, including meditation, energetic healing and Tai-chi-chuan. He lives with his wife and their two young daughters near Plum Village, the monastery of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh in the South West of France, his country.His spiritual search, his thought as a social scientist and his professional experience have gradually converged on the importance of spiritual wisdom in humanity's ongoing transition. Searching for a way to mainstream this understanding in the political and sustainability conversation, he has dedicated much of the last 10 years to researching and reflecting how we can radically rethink our model of development. The result is his book, 'The Politics of Being: Wisdom and Science for a new Development Paradigm' which synthesises so many of the foundations of Accidental Gods - the merging of a universal spirituality, grounded in connection with the web of life, and a political and social framework for a new way of organising ourselves and each other. In this wide-ranging conversation, we discuss how Thomas first encountered shamanic spirituality and then explore the ideas that are the backbone of his book: how do we shape our new reality and, crucially, who is already doing so? LinksPolitics of Being website: https://politicsofbeing.comThe Politics of Being: book https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/Politics-of-Being-by-Legrand-Thomas/9782957758302Video intro to the book: https://politicsofbeing.comPolitics of Being Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/politicsofbeingThomas on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-legrand-b8406215/Politics of Being on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/politics-of-being/

The Presocratic Heraclitus of Ephesus is a philosopher's philosopher. His work was beloved by Socrates, Plato, Hegel, Nietzsche and Heidegger. The philosopher from Ephesus is commonly known as the philosopher of fire (thanks to Aristotle) or, for those with a little more nuance, he is known as the philosopher of panta rei or flux — of constant never-ending change. But there is another side of Heraclitus's philosophy that is less talked about and that is his philosophy of Logos. This element of the Presocratic philosopher's work was taken up by the Gospel writer John who opened his Gospel with the line "In the beginning was there was the Logos and the Logos was with God and the Logos was God". John wrote his work in Ephesus and so the comparison with Heraclitus can't be avoided. For Heraclitus Logos is the unchanging eternal principle that is the true nature of reality. That leaves us with something of a paradox in a way that is very similar to Parmenides, who also wrote about the contrast between the world of Being and the world of Becoming. As well as Parmenides we will also be looking at how Heraclitus's work can be situated as part of the tradition of the Perennial Philosophy and can be fruitfully connected with the Eastern philosophies of Buddha Gautama and of Lao-Tzu. ____________________Further Reading:- Curd, P. and McKirahan, R.D., 1996.

StoryShots Summary and Analysis of The Doors of Perception by Aldous HuxleyAbout Aldous HuxleyAldous Huxley was a post-war intellectual elite born in 1894. He studied English literature at Oxford University. He wrote almost 50 books and was nominated for nine Nobel Prizes in Literature. Huxley's first novel was Crome Yellow (1921), an exposition of the futility of the lifestyle of many privileged intellectuals in the 1920s. He later wrote Antic Hay (1923), which satirizes modern society's preoccupation with sex, business, and consumerism. Huxley was a respected philosopher. Intrigued by how we perceive things, he famously wrote Brave New World, a dystopian vision of society, in 1932. Brave New World is about using mind-altering drugs. The characters take a drug called Soma, which allows them to break from reality. Huxley was a pacifist. His interest in philosophical mysticism and universalism led him to produce The Perennial Philosophy, which illustrates the similarities between Western and Eastern mysticism, and The Doors of Perception, which explores his psychedelic experience with mescaline. IntroductionPublished in 1954, The Doors of Perception is about Aldous Huxley's first psychedelic experience. The book is an account of his trip on Mescaline, the insights he experienced, and the esthetic beauty he saw. Huxley's psychedelic experience helped him develop psychological and philosophical ideas around perception. He believed we live in a narrow field of perception. We need to open our minds to a broader perceptual experience to improve our lives. Because of his experience, Huxley recommended Mescaline to others. Similar to Brave New World, The Doors of Perception also describes how we can break away from normal perception and uniquely experience the world. Back in the 1930s, Huxley called Mescaline a poison worse than Soma. So it's interesting to see how his perception of the drug changed within the 22 years of writing the two books. “We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves. The martyrs go hand in hand into the arena; they are crucified alone. Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies into a single self-transcendence; in vain. By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies—all these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable. We can pool information about experiences, but never the experiences themselves. From family to nation, every human group is a society of island universes.” — ALDOUS HUXLEY

In this episode we take a quick look at Hinduism, Taoism, the Perennial Philosophy and Advaita Vetanta. To help build a simple understanding of these Religions we discuss the Pali/ Sanskrit terms; Brahman, Atman and Maya. We also mention Ken Wilber and his books; Up From Eden and A Sociable God.   Learn Developmental Psychology: https://www.udemy.com/course/draft/4198002/?referralCode=231420FB84FE700AE286   Check out my Udemy instructor profile: https://www.udemy.com/user/dosta-3/   Check out my Graffiti channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC5OBsGtVMhGDiGiJ3yPvQg   Follow DELM on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delm413/   Check out my Music channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4vj9mQw0231izQXfUppnwg   Talks on Tantra and Sex: https://onlyfans.com/dosta   Podcast on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/andrew-lake-podcast/id1439388762?mt=2   Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/36T6M5UiOt9E35U6faNQUi   Dosta YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzanoRaVmvE&t=15s   Discover The Chronicles of Dosta: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvn6OHvvKedz2OdVozaKRuA/videos   Learn Public Speaking and Voice Awareness: https://www.udemy.com/course/public-speaking-and-voice-awareness-techniques/?referralCode=E14F4ABA11339CECD409   Learn MDMA Online: https://www.udemy.com/course/mdma-nyw/?referralCode=A82F4DAC24E593162453   MDMA Promo Vid: https://youtu.be/MH3cT1mfPvY   Theme song music by pmajor: https://pmajor.bandcamp.com/album/static-on-the-frequency   Support my work directly on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/dosta

Think out 1,000 or 10,000 years; it's obvious to everyone that human civilization (if it lasts) will make unimaginable leaps in science and technology in that time. On the other hand, there's a general sense (judging from the way we imagine the future) that our worldview won't (or shouldn't) change in any meaningful way. Is that really true? This podcast looks at the idea that I think most desperately needs an update, our collective understanding of selfhood. The update I lay out is actually quite an ancient idea; it just needs to be dusted off and re-examined in light of new science and a new era. Here are some places it's appeared before, most notably in Hinduism and Sikhism: Upanishads- 2000 or more years old, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upanishads Advaita Vedanta- 1500 years old, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advaita... Guru Granth Sahib- ~500 years old, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru_Gr... Alan Watts, “We are God playing Hide and Seek with Itself”, https://youtu.be/tmFxDy8S8Lo?t=194 Bertrand Russell on Heraclitus, ~500 B.C.: “"Mortals are immortals, and immortals are mortals, the one living the other's death and dying the other's life." There is unity in the world, but it is a unity formed by the combination of opposites. "All things come out of the one, and the one out of all things."” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Histo... Many other traditions in this vein are discussed in Huxley's “The Perennial Philosophy”, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Per... Bill Hicks: https://youtu.be/VnwFmaLiKl4?t=88 Virginia Woolf: https://www.themarginalian.org/2020/0... Erwin Schrödinger in "Mind and Matter" https://books.google.com/books/about/... The Pew Research studies mentioned early in the podcast are: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank... https://www.pewforum.org/2018/05/29/a... 0:00 Introduction 0:51 Reexamining selfhood 5:18 Who am I? 9:33 Why should this all matter to you? (Excerpt from Schrödinger's "Mind and Matter"): "The reason why our sentient, percipient and thinking ego is met nowhere within our scientific world picture can easily be indicated in seven words: because it is itself that world picture. It is identical with the whole and therefore cannot be contained in it as a part of it. But, of course, here we knock against the arithmetical paradox; there appears to be a great multitude of these conscious egos, the world however is only one... There are two ways out of the number paradox, both appearing rather lunatic from the point of view of present scientific thought (based on ancient Greek thought and thus thoroughly 'Western'). One way out is the multiplication of the world in Leibniz's fearful doctrine of monads: every monad to be a world by itself, no communication between them; the monad 'has no windows', it is 'incommunicado'. That none the less they all agree with each other is called 'pre- established harmony'. I think there are few to whom this suggestion appeals, nay who would consider it as a mitigation at all of the numerical antinomy. There is obviously only one alternative, namely the unification of minds or consciousnesses. Their multiplicity is only apparent, in truth there is only one mind. This is the doctrine of the Upanishads. And not only of the Upanishads. The mystically experienced union with God regularly entails this attitude unless it is opposed by strong existing prejudices; and this means that it is less easily accepted in the West than in the East."

In this conversation, Ben and I discuss how our respective life's journeys have intersected with the psychedelic plant medicine ayahuasca, and how our spiritual journeys have been impacted by the lessons ayahuasca has taught. From there, we discuss Alan Watt's advice to “hang up the phone” after answering the call from psychedelics, and how to follow the heart's intuition in determining which dharma door you step through. We then dive into discussions on the Perennial Philosophy, free will and determinism. We later discuss the tension between logic & intuition in both the scientific community at large and within our own psyches. Please enjoy!

This episode of Across The Margin: The Podcast features an interview with Jake Poller, the author of Aldous Huxley, which is the focus of this episode, and also Aldous Huxley and Alternative Spirituality. Poller edited the essay collection Altered Consciousness in the Twentieth Century and his articles have appeared in the Aldous Huxley Annual, the D.H. Lawrence Review, Aries, Literature and Theology and International Journal for the Study of New Religions. His research focuses on the intersection of alternative spirituality, Western esotericism, philosophy and psychoanalysis with twentieth-century literature and culture. Aldous Huxley was one of the twentieth century's most prescient thinkers. Poller's biography, named after the philosopher, is a rich and lucid account that charts the different phases of Huxley's career, from the early satirist who depicted the glamorous despair of the postwar generation, to the committed pacifist of the 1930s, the spiritual seeker of the 1940s, the psychedelic sage of the 1950s — who affirmed the spiritual potential of mescaline and LSD — to the New Age prophet that defined his later years. While Huxley is still best known as the author of Brave New World, Jake Poller argues that it is The Perennial Philosophy, The Doors of Perception, and Island — Huxley's blueprint for a utopian society — that have had the most cultural impact. Huxley's influence was vast. We see it today in the ever increasing appetite for spiritual experiences, meditation retreats, ayahuasca holidays, the multi-billion dollar “shroom boom,” the popularity of yoga, tai-chi and other mind-body practices, and the rise of spiritual communities and centers. Now more than ever, Poller points out so vividly in his book, the work of Aldous Huxley leads the way. In this episode host Michael Shields and Jake Poller discuss what compelled Huxley to seek out transcendent experiences and how psychedelics changed his life and worldview. They explore what his novel Island means to his legacy and why his bounteous, insightful essays deserve a much wider readership, and much, much more.

Te gast is Vincent Duindam, die zijn vak psychologie en zijn leraarschap verrijkt en verdiept met alledaagse spiritualiteit, gebaseerd op de wijsheid van de grote religieuze tradities, zoals de Perennial Philosophy ook doet. We spreken naar aanleiding van zijn boekje Thuiskomen in de klas, dat gaat over de alledaagse spiritualiteit van de leraar. Wij hebben dat toegepast op de professionaliteit van de leidinggevende, maar het past eigenlijk bij elk mensenberoep. Niet vreemd dus dat Vincent dit najaar komt met het Spiritueel zakboekje voor professionals. Vincent stroomt over met tips om spiritualiteit toe te passen in je werk, zoals het loslaten van je positieve en negatieve patronen, gedachten en egogerichtheden, en het taoïstische wu wei, de kunst van het niets doen, bewust niet ingrijpen, maar juist meegaan met wat zich aandient en daar authentiek en met volle aandacht bij zijn. Dat leer je door bewust stil te worden, waarmee je de weg van het ego naar het zelf leert maken. We noemden even Het gedicht De herberg van Rumi. Dat zegt het allemaal nog mooier. Dit mens-zijn is een soort herberg Elke ochtend weer nieuw bezoek. Een vreugde, een depressie, een benauwdheid, een flits van inzicht komt als een onverwachte gast. Verwelkom ze; ontvang ze allemaal gastvrij zelfs als er een menigte verdriet binnenstormt die met geweld je hele huisraad kort en klein slaat. Behandel dan toch elke gast met eerbied. Misschien komt hij de boel ontruimen om plaats te maken voor extase… De donkere gedachte, schaamte, het venijn, ontmoet ze bij de voordeur met een brede grijns en vraag ze om erbij te komen zitten. Wees blij met iedereen die langskomt de hemel heeft ze stuk voor stuk gestuurd om jou als raadgever te dienen. Vincent verwijst tot slot naar een artikel over ‘negative capability'. Daar is geen weblink van. Je kunt het bij mij opvragen via een PB op LinkedIn. Meer lezen van Vincent? Zie hier een blog op de site van De Bezieling. Deze podcast is mede mogelijk gemaakt door ATTC, schoolleidersopleiding in Hilversum voor PO en VO.

The Perennial Philosophy is a perspective in philosophy and spirituality that views all of the world's religious traditions as sharing a single, metaphysical truth or origin from which all knowledge and doctrine originates.
