  The Brilliant Maelstrom of Possibility

  Two good posts on our emerging and merging realization of the Comprehensive Life-Breath (SOUL, PSYCHE, ANIMA, ATMAN) by Soul-Spelunker: We are swirling within Souls Maelstrom. Round and round we go in this world, and ever downward. But, as we move deeper into the Vortex of Life, we move, simultaneously, inward…

  James Fadiman, The Heretic: Historia Psychodelia Americana

  Fadiman’s influence transcends counterculture, though. It might even stretch through the very medium through which you’re reading these words. In What the Dormouse Said, John Markoff reports that Fadiman had dosed and counseled numerous “heads” as they were attempting to amplify consciousness through silicon chips and virtual reality. The personal…

  Textifying to the Encompassing Good

  Five years ago, after someone claimed that texting was a complete waste of time, I challenged myself: Would it not be a wonderful exercise in perennial philosophy to come up with aphorisms in 160 characters or less? I began to distill whatever I might be reading around in or talking…

  Fairness is but one facet of Justice…     Obsess on this alone & you forget such alternatives as Mercifulness without which Justice becomes certain tyranny.

  Liberation in the 21st Century « Becoming Integral

  Report on Liberation Theology in Africa from my good brother Sam Mickey over at Becoming Integral…   The good news is that those outdated ideals are changing.  As this conference in Ghana shows, young scholars and activists are taking up the task of renewing and rejuvenating liberation theology, articulating tactics…

    We have all heard old Yoda’s admonition about Fear. Here is my attempt at the alternative: Fortitude is the way to the Light Side. Fortitude leads to patience Patience leads to love. Love leads to letting-go… Not needing, you will have what you need.

  Are the Boomers Screwing the Millennials? | Rightly Understood | Big Think

  Nice piece very much in line with many things I have been saying over the last two years. It is bleak, certainly bleaker than the way generational expert Neil Howe sees things turning out. Thanks to my friend Heather Davis for pointing this post out to me. Maybe it’s more…

  Opposing Views on What the American Public Provides

  The notion of fair taxation is based on three ideals: First, taxes are a way to reimburse the community for what it has provided beforehand. This is about reciprocity. Second, taxes are a way to maintain freedom in America, by financing the system that allows the individual to flourish. Third,…

  I would say, “The world as seen by Boomers”…

  …rather than “Republicans” since this is about a pseudo-nostalgia with a great penchant for creative memory. However, I want to be clear that I am not committing the fallacy of “equal time.” I am a progressive leaning independent who sees a far more desperate thinking about our situation on the…

  Wander not in paranoid conspiracies for position nor trample others in phantasms of privilege. Sow universal misery; reap the whirlwind.

  A Nice Entrée into Object Oriented Ontology

  Yesterday I had the pleasure of doing an interview with Heather Duncan and Alex Reid concerning digital humanities, blogging, twitter, and to a lesser degree object-oriented ontology. With any luck it will be posted, alongside a host of other interviews (including one by Eileen Joy), in the Fall. During the…

  Boomerang Kids Have Some Rules For Mom And Dad

  The second wave of Gen-X, the overlap Gen-Y, and the first wave of Millenials find themselves in the same ship of fools set adrift by Boomers & first-wave Gen-Xers for whom the “system” worked. This is not something that the older folks planned outright. If it was about planning outright,…
