Dylan Newcomb - Movement Research - I Ching and Spiral Dynamics

As part of an ongoing research process, Dylan Newcomb and colleagues receive funding from the Dutch government to research the connection between dance, Yin/Yang theory and Spiral Dynamics. Together with several specialists in Spiral Dynamics, they found that the Patterns in the I Ching, dating back more than 3000 years, directly reflect the patterns discovered recently by psycho-socio researcher Clare Graves. In coming research projects, the further implications of this syncronicity will be ...

TNM 012: The Warriors Journey: Returning from Iraq, Part 2

"The willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better than the oak which resists it; and so in great calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier character." - Albert Schweitzer
In Part 2 of our conversation with Dan Taslitz, we hear about Dans experience coming back from Iraq and what he went through in transition back to civilian life.
Dan has developed a system to convert stress into true strength and teaches men the power of vulnerability, learning to bend with resilience and not break in rigidity.

Listen as Dan gives us a glimpse of his life as a soldier. He then shows us his new life as a leader and compassionate warrior helping others resource their trauma to find true strength.

The Meaning of the Avant Garde, and Overcome by Ed Kowalczyk


The Meaning of the Avant Garde, and Overcome by Ed Kowalczyk

One of the goals of the Integral Vision is to resurrect the concept of the avant garde. The term is synonymous with "vanguard," technically defined as a small troop of highly skilled soldiers who explore the territory ahead of an advancing army, plotting a course for the army to follow. In a similar way, today's avant garde serves to open pathways for us all to grow into newly emergent artistic, cultural, and intellectual possibilities—the most current embodiment of the Kosmic impulse to ...

BG 061: Buddhist Magic: What is Possible with the Powers?

Have you ever considered what it would be like to cultivate, what in the Buddhist tradition are called the siddhis or magical powers? Buddhist magic is an endlessly fascinating topic, and in this episode we speak with Daniel Ingram, one of our favorite guests here on Buddhist Geeks, about the powers. We cover their historical treatment by some of the major traditions, including the Zen, Tibetan, and Theravada. Daniel also gives us his first-hand experience having explored the powers, and considers the implications of doing public magic, and whether or not this kind of magic is "objectively real". We also discuss the ethical issues involved in using magic and issues of reproducibility. Finally, we take a look at the ancient text, The Fruits of the Homeless Life, and explore what was said in that text about the powers, especially about the greatest power of all, the power of insight.

Integral Shadow Work

Most of you know that I have been a fan of all things integral for many years now, especially Ken Wilber's version. What, exactly, is integral? How did it evolve? What does it have to do
with our daily activities and spiritual practices?


CB 018: Why are the Employees at Sounds True So Happy?

"I don't value the financial growth of the business at the expense of our moment-to-moment experience." - Tami Simon
Are there really companies where you can come to work and simply be yourself, where your shared humanity is as, or even more, important than the "the bottom-line". Tami Simon, the founder of Sounds True—a multimedia publishing company dedicated to disseminating spiritual wisdom—claims that there is, and that her company Sounds True is just such a place.
Listen in to hear about the conscious work practices that Sounds True employs, including emotional intelligence training, conscious meeting practices, and a hiring system that filters out those people who aren't in "values alignment" with the rest of the company.
This is part 1 of two-part series.
