286 Individualism, spiritualism och ångest Vi pratar kring Phil Borges tankar om det spirituella Tanja är påväg hem i vanen Är psykisk ohälsa en brist på andlighet? Vad händer när vi blir för individualistiska Hur förhåller vi oss till kollektivet kontra de egna drömmarna?

A powerhouse event hosted by the UK's curious anarchist, Jermaine Gregory, in the formidable community on Clubhouse, The Phoenix Headquarters, the growing, number 1 organisation for spirituality, a hub for practitioners. Joining Jermaine today in the Phoenix Headquarters club on Clubhouse is 'Crazywise' director, Phil Borges. Also joining us are Naomi Elliott, metaphysical parapsychologist and founder of the almost 3,000 membership club. Brian Spittles with his extensively researched book, 'Psychosis, Psychiatry and Psychospiritual Considerations' as well as representing Beyond youth board, Antonio Ferreira, who along with Naomi have had experiences in being sectioned under psychosis diagnosis, yet having very different experiences. Open and honestly, we talk about learnings from the film and researched findings in making the movie, sprinkled with anecdotal experience and testimony between our guest speakers and speakers invited to speak from the open audience who feel they had something to add and have experienced their own spiritual awakening. The continuation of the growth and development of the drive for fairer and better care in mental health, and health in general, across the planet is alive and well. Listen in as we traverse the extremely thin line between psychosis and spiritual awakenings. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/curious-anarchy/message

“Spiritual emergence is a natural opening and awakening that many people experience as a result of coming to terms with the difficulties of life, through an established faith tradition, as a result of systematic spiritual practices or through unexpected peak experiences.” centerforspiritualemergence.com In this episode of SSS, Andrea & Betty discuss the spiritual emergence and ponder the differences between psychosis and the spiritual awakening.

Women in our patriarchal culture are socialized to please, and that can make saying “no” and setting clear boundaries (and even knowing what boundaries we're “allowed” to set) very difficult.  

Phil Borges sees storytelling as a primary tool for driving social change. Learn how his projects, Women Empowered, Crazywise and his TedTalks have provided new ways of seeing through his first-person stories.Phil Borges, has been documenting indigenous cultures and striving to create an understanding of the challenges they face for over 25 years. For his program, Stirring the Fire, Phil produced and filmed several short films, capturing the stories of women heroes and the issues they face all over the world, both as solo projects and in collaboration with organizations such as UN Women and CARE. We consider it especially appropriate to have Phil visit just prior to International Women's Day, March 8, 2021.His work on the film Crazywise takes a closer look at whether some diagnosed 'mental breakdowns' might in fact be spiritual awakenings. In Crazywise, Phil asks us: What can we learn from those who have turned their psychological crisis into a positive transformative experience?

For over twenty-five years Phil Borges has been documenting indigenous and tribal cultures, striving to create an understanding of the challenges they face. His work is exhibited in museums and galleries worldwide and his award-winning books, which have been published in four languages, include Tibetan Portrait, Enduring Spirit, Women Empowered and Tibet: Culture on the Edge. He has hosted television documentaries on indigenous cultures for Discovery and National Geographic channels. Phil also lectures and teaches internationally. Phil’s recent project, CRAZYWISE, explores the relevance of Shamanic traditional practices and beliefs to those of us living in the modern world. CRAZYWISE centers around a young man struggling with his sanity, world-renowned mental health professionals, and a gutsy survivor-led movement...all challenging a mental health system in crisis. Phil’s program Stirring the Fire has produced several short documentaries, a book, and an exhibition highlighting some of the extraordinary women worldwide who are breaking through gender barriers and conventions in order to enhance the well-being of their communities. In 2000 Phil founded Bridges to Understanding, an online classroom program that connects youth worldwide through digital storytelling in order to enhance cross-cultural understanding and help build a sense of global citizenship in youth. He also co-founded Blue Earth Alliance, a 501c3 that sponsors photographic projects focusing on endangered cultures and threatened environments. Phil graduated from the University of California as a Regents Scholar in 1969 and was honored with their prestigious University of California Medal in 2004. He lives with his family in Seattle.  http://www.philborges.com/ ------------------------------------------------

CRAZYWISE director Phil Borges returns to the show for a fascinating discussion based around Phil's knowledge of shamanic wisdom for healing and transformation. We discuss the nature of consciousness, awakening, the structure of the brain, discoveries from neuroscience, meditation, the nature of time, and so much more. What stood out the most for me during Phil's description of his experiences with meditation was the sense of novelty. Phil has spent three decades visiting tribes and cultures so far removed from normalcy. And yet through meditation, he's discovered a sense of newness and enchantment through the ability to be truly present — all from the comfort of his own home. It reminds of verse from T.S.Eliot's Four Quartets: "We shall not cease from exploration, And the end of all our exploring, Will be to arrive where we started, And know the place for the first time." I highly recommend watching CRAZYWISE, which is an eye-opener towards the West's dysfunctional approach towards mental health. And download Mindsets for Mindfulness for further exploration of the role of non-ordinary states of consciousness in healing and awakening. Enjoy the episode!

'Crazy…or wise? The traditional wisdom of indigenous cultures often contradicts modern views about a mental health crisis. Is it a ‘calling’ to grow or just a ‘broken brain’?

Exploring alternatives to psychosis, from 2014 as Crazywise was nearing completion, Phil and Joel talk of spirituality, shamanism and healing Phil and Joel talk about the gifted (i.e., those who exhibit Shamanic potentic through hearing voices and visions) and their relation to mental health distress, our Western cultures treatment, and the traditional or indiginous view of these markers as a sensitivity and gift.

Phil has spoken at multiple TED talks; including TED in 2007, TEDxRainier in 2012 and TEDxUMKC in 2013 and hosted television documentaries for Discovery and National Geographic.

Extending the issues raised in the last episode, in this episode we continue to identify several techniques that are commonly used by those who desire to change your worldview. Specifically, we discuss how worldview engineers can occasion worldview change by rewriting history (or at least by casting it in a different light) and by embedding subversive ideas in fictional stories (in movies, TV shows, novels etc.). We illustrate the use of these techniques with reference to recent uses of the term 'genocide' in political discourse and by revealing the subtle messaging in popular TV shows (The Flash & The 12 Monkeys).

Hundreds and many thousands of years ago, humans had various perspectives on mental/spiritual wellness. They had no words for depression, schizophrenia, or depersonalization, etc... But what they did have was community and a unique support system. Take a journey with me and my new friend, lecturer, photographer, and documentarian Phil Borges as we capture his journey, his documentary "Crazywise" and his future endeavors.   www.crazywisefilm.com www.philborges.com  

What if psychological crises were opportunities for spiritual awakening? That's the question that motivated Phil Borges to direct his documentary, Crazywise. While documenting indigenous and tribal cultures for over 30 years, he realised the healers and visionaries had each undergone a personal transformation our culture may label a breakdown, psychotic, crazy... Unlike in the West, these "disorders" are seen as gifts. Phil's Ted Talk on the subject has nearly 2 million views, and it's easy to see why. Having watched Crazywise after a friend recommended it to me, I was eager to talk to Phil. I wasn't disappointed — our discussion in MindThatEgo Podcast #5 was fascinating. We cover diagnosis, peer-support, the overuse of prescription drugs, hearing voices, authenticity, and much more. On a personal level, our discussion was extremely emotional. I've shared a few things not many people know about my own crisis, particularly around grief and psychosis. Phil was open-hearted about his experiences, too. It's a conversation that will no doubt stay with me for a while. Enjoy the show! [Title Music: Monday Morning Wakeup Call by Daniel Birch]
