Meta Level Love w/ cori wong Cori Wong

These are direct excerpts from my notebook pages written between January 29th and February 24th, 2022. It's not everything I wrote, but it is a (nearly) unedited, raw, and honest glimpse into a few weeks of my journey and process.

Such a special energy exists in the magic and excitement of reconnecting with an old friend. After so much has changed and lifetimes to catch up on, where do you begin?

Situating COVID-19 as the backdrop to this movement, led by #BlackLivesMatter, there is so much to process from the month of June. This episode introduces critical views on privilege, whiteness, and the power of using our most meaningful moments to imagine a world without oppression. There are strong undercurrents about connection, community, and queer dance parties, fueled by a longing for creative ways to make space for joy and know that we're all in this together.

When the world feels too heavy and we begin to lose ourselves in feeling overwhelmed, we may flounder with doubt and begin to wonder, "Why?" Why push on? Why even try? In the first episode, I emphasized we need to understand more than just "the what" of social justice. We also need to learn how. But beneath all of that, in order for our work to be meaningful to us, to be compelling enough for us to shift how we live every single day and literally change the world, I think we must have some sense for why. I share Simone de Beauvoir's take on existentialist ethics as a resource to explore why social justice, why freedom and why liberation.

I process on meta levels about 90% of the time, and if this podcast does what I hope it will, you'll be saying, "OMG. That's so meta!" soon, too. This episode is an introduction to what you need to know to make sense of this project - a little about me and some framing concepts (like love and social justice as spiritual practice, processing the process, and feminist friendship). If things ever get confusing or unruly as this podcast develops, we can always return back to this episode, find our bearings, and remind ourselves of what is going on here.

Welcome to Meta Level Love - the podcast! I am a philosopher by training, an educator at heart, and a passionate believer in creating a more just and equitable world. My work and my process center on critical self-reflection and genuine dialogue in all of our relationships. I recognize that we're all on our own journey. By sharing what I have learned, I hope we can go further, together.
