A conversation worth waiting for with philosopher Cadell Last diving into themes he began developing in a published trialogue 'Sex, Masculinity and God' (2020). We wrestle with the confusion of contemporary landscape as men, delving into the disorientation of radical historical changes in life, sex, work and identity. We further the 'wrestling with christianity' conversation with Cadell's deep reading of the signficance of the cross for men around the initiatory dying into life. How can men’s death and resurrection resolve the culture war? What will christianity be in it’s 3rd millennium? What is the fundamental ‘negativity’ and dissolution at the heart of the feminine?

A freeform first dialogue I was inspired to hold with O.G Rose and Tim Kubik. Both are friend's and fellow travellers in the liminal web with a rich insight into where education has become broken and what educational futures we might imagine. We touch on: ~The relation of education and capital ~The historical dependence of leisure on exploitation ~The 'trivia' test mentality of modern education ~An education that allows genius misfits ~Zoom and educational entreprenuership O.G.

'The Spirit of the Climate Crisis' is the 3rd in an ongoing SENSESPACE climate series getting to the heart of the climate crisis. I’m joined by Brendan Kelly, Anne Keay & Matthew Green to explore the ‘Yin and Yang’ of climate change, an ancient Chinese model offering a path for balance with nature. We also explore collective healing and what it means to 'hospice' modernity as a way of being rather than 'save' it. Anne draws upon her experience in conscious communities to articulate the necessity of a love & heart centred consciousness in navigating climate crisis. -- Brendan Kelly has 20 years full-time experience practicing acupuncture and herbal medicine and currently practices at Jade Mountain Wellness, the clinic he founded in Burlinton, VT USA. He lectures and teaches at colleges, universities and conferences in the US and Europe on a wide variety of topics including Chinese medicine, western herbal medicine and ecological issues.

I recently read the Ayn Rand’s incredible magnum opus ‘Atlas Shrugged’ which inspired to organise a roundtable discussion. I joined Bethany Tabor in her reading group on the significance of the book and we were also joined by Daniel of O.G. Rose who was deeply struck by the text as a literary philosophy. First published in 1957, Atlas Shrugged is an unfolding story mixing mystery, romance and an exposition of the potential breakdown of American society. In our dialogue we explore how Atlas Shrugged offers a more important diagnosis of the slide into authoritarianism and decline than the more popular 1984. A work of fiction, Atlas Shrugged presents us a chillingly detailed map of how things fall apart and the breakdown in values and philosophy directly spreads through infrastructure.

Continuing the series with Mahon McCann, Ken Lowry & O.G. Rose. We explore a christianity that 'goes beyond itself' and some of the dynamic tensions involved in integrating Christianity with many of us outsiders to the tradition. A unique consideration of how modern christianity 'bands off' the 'top' and 'bottom' of transcendental experience and deep suffering of collective trauma and holds us in a 'middle space'. How we might learn from Paul and early communities as a model of de-centralised scenes experimenting with different ecologies of practice in dialogue with one another.

First of a two part dialogue with Michelle Garner of O.G Rose. We explore truth as a moving spirit which we can be girded by. Michelle embodies a profound openness and willingness to enter the world's of others and she shares how being girded and rooted in truth affords this. We consider truth as redemptive and transformative to suffering. Then we look at how truth cultivated in philosophy doesn't always translate into social life and encounters with the opposite sex. -- In pt.2 we explore the wisdom of motherhood. -- O.G.

~The first in a new series 'The Doors of Dialogos' exploring the nature of Dialogos with pioneers and practitioners~ In this dialogue with Daniel Zaruba we explore some of the pathways into Dialogos as part of a larger exploration. This includes: remembering the dimension of being and the perspective beyond perspectives. I ask Daniel about the relation between Dialogos and prayer and how Dialogos might be implicated in Morphic resonance.

Matthew Green is an author, climate journalist and writes at the 'Resonant world' substack on collective trauma healing. Wolfgang Knorr is a climate scientist, modeller & activist with decades of experience in climate science. We begin by exploring Wolfgang's radical thesis that 'Net Zero is a trap' and how the climate conversation is funnelled by models, negotiations and underlying hidden (onto-epistemological) frames. We open doors in the funnel of the climate conversation and explore an approach more rooted in not-knowing. We consider the 'addiction' nature of climate crisis and the realisation of climate crisis as 'healing crisis.

It was great to air and explore some of my ongoing thinking through of Love, Marriage and Sex with Michelle Garner of O.G. Rose who brings to bear her philosophical, christian and personal perspectives. We examine the significance of love philosophically and explore how, in a pre-modern context, love, sex and marriage where once self-evidently wedded. We consider the original context of marriage as a triad between two partners and God and how the spirit of marriage and faith both entail a commitment to the unknown. How are christological love and romantic distinct and where does conflation lead to dangerous error? What is sex after the invention of birth control, is casual sex playing with fire in relation to deep coded value systems? How does long term love paradoxically hold together both: the complete givennness of the love commitment and the ever-present possibility of other partners. O.G.

A dialogue with Ken Lowry (from his channel) in which we build upon John Vervaeke's 'After Socrates Ep.2: Socrates the monstrous' . Ken is one of my favourite interlocutors and in this dialogue we explore our experiences of christianity and the dynamism of combining socrates and Jesus as 'internalised sages'. We consider the differences between these two sages, Jesus being more 'perfect' and 'up and the clouds' whilst socrates displays a clearly carnal eroticism. We consider how they can both set us free in different ways and might be in dialogue with one another.

The Wisdom of Birth. Exploring the dialectic of will and surrender in transformation and the necessity of philosophical midwives.    #surrender #will #midwifery #wisdom #philosophy #transformation #sensespace #culturepilgrim

We continue our novel exploration of Christianity.  

What wisdom can be found in christianity for contending with life? What would a christianity that integrates Buddhism, psychedelics and science look like?  How can we integrate the insights of the peak experience/psychedelic mountaintop into day to day to day life? 

How do we suffuse life with mystery?  How do we trust the mystery and one another?  

With thanks to O.G Rose and Joseph Pickens. More to come.

Joe Pickens: https://www.josephpickens.com/

The most profound effects of transformation do not always result from the peak experience or being on the mountaintop but in the coming down and integrating. As we recouple our 'new' self with our existing relationships. To be sure, we're very thankful for the familiarity of and old friend or our parents. But, as we contend with ancestral trauma and stuckness within ourselves, we may become disheartened to percieve everything around us as staying the same. This belief that everything's staying the same is re-enforced by the world around us. However, it is a delusion. Change is happening in historically unprecedented ways at this time and we are all deeply entangled with it and the more than human world. The changes within us affect one another in ways we don't understand. This is an encouraging insight, and we never know the full range of the impact of our internal shifts have everyone we're connected to.   

With that being said, there's a world of struggle waiting for you if you're expecting or needing your family/friends to change in the way you have. I've been there. Perhaps its a necessary learning curve to struggle with this but where I've arived now with experience is recognising that change is happening, but not because we want or need it to. People's life journeys are long. Some karma takes years or decades to be worked out. We cannot force this but we can rest in the knowledge of our entanglement and become better witnesses to one another as we are. We can be open to the transformative potential in one another merely by attending to that person as a thou, as a mystery and not as the fixed object they believe they are. In this attentive witnessing, we paradoxically end up give more affordance to their transformation.

One of the main challenges I face at this juncture in my journey is talking about Christ or Christ consciousness as I see it in culture. Doing so very readily brings on a range of assumptions and also triggers a lot of real and legitimate shadows around christianity. 

Prayer is something I've come to practice every day. I never would have thought it a few years ago but it's been a crazy curiosity-led journey. For me prayer is deeply related to dialogue and the practice of meditation--something I've done for many years. In this video, I riff on the relationship between prayer, dialogue, meditation, and listening with the heart. The practice has afforded me repeated redemption in the course of my own inner struggles and a long dark nights of the soul. Sometimes irresolvable struggles can only be resolved through surrender. On the other side of which, can be a surprising peace. However, whether it's found in prayer, psychedelics, or a cold plunge that sense of peace doesn't tend last-it has to be cultivated. 

Prayer, alongside other practices, is about inner-outer cultivation of the heart.  Speaking to this 'matter of the heart', I describe how we all have a little flame inside of us. You may call this by many names, spirit or soul but each of those little flames in us makes up the web of life that holds us through our journey. It's one of the most important things in the human experience. When people have near death experiences and return they consistently say that their love for other people and relationships is the most important thing. It makes sense then that we tend to the flame that we bring to one another and ourselves.

Mahon McCann PhD, podcaster, fighting coach and creator of Wisdom dojo brigs his insights into the development of young men and the meaning crisis to the Resonant Man Dialogues series. We explore the deep need and search for role models as man. That moment in which you realise that you are fully responsible for your outcome and the balance of this with spirituality and finding a wisdom community and mentors to build together. We consider how mens groups can support men in their solitary purpose as well as breaking out of being 'islands' into a collective we. Matthew speaks to the power of being seen in having conquered our fears by other men as representing a key initiation. As well as this, the insufficiency of psychedelics alone for transformation relative to long term projects with accountability. Jacob lays out his metamodern vision in The Resonant Man initiative for the future of man. Responding to a polarised critique of men and forging a way through the a world where men and women mutually support one another in coming into embodied, spiritual and emotional maturity.

Want to join a powerful group of men exploring this through practice and presence? Join Matthew Green and Jacob Kishere for the Resonant Man each Sunday starting June 9th. Information here: https://culturepilgrim.substack.com/p/the-resonant-man

This powerful maxim from O.G Rose has been a way to liberate my creativity and I believe its worthwhile sharing.  Each of us has the capacity to express reality uniquely. Whether it's our creative expression or even the unique way that we give life to an idea we read or heard elsewhere have something unique to contribute.   

For a wonderful extended dialogue on this maxim see the O.G Rose Youtube channel

A conversation exploring the dialogue occurring within, between & beyond 'Islam and the West'. Many years of enquiry led up to this dialogue between myself and Jared Morningstar. We both brought a sense of the sacred to this important and often contentious dialogue-space and were able to cover  wide terrain:  

In what ways are the West and Islam already in dialogue and what possibilities are there for religious unity?  What is the nature of Islam & how do Salafi ideas shape Islam today?  

What historic similarities and differences are there between Islam & Christendom?   

What role does Western Islamic scholarship have to play?  

How might psychedelics interact with Islamic thought?  

Jared is an independent academic specializing in 20th century religious philosophy, Islamic studies, and interfaith dialogue. He is the Founder of  ‘Alif: Traditional Wisdom in Review-a publication exploring the intersection of Classical Islamic Sources and the Western Intellectual tradition. He is also a designer/photographer and cultivates an artful instagram feed @jared_morningstar
