    your mind on spring

    Something is always emerging, and one can hear, see and hence participate in it. the question is not whether you are part of it but how? a new subjectivation that lets you hear the voices of reverberating biopoetic forces, streams, you and i are part of, a different way of being and becoming. rhizomes of interdependence we have never actually left behind, only in dreams you can hear it when things become quiet at night near a fire with some loved ones, when your palm touches fresh moss or though the brief interlocking gaze of acknowledgment from a member of another specie, a new subjectivity is emerging from this point of contact put your finger in the wet soil and get electrified by cosmic infinity stretched to all direction that start from nowhere in particular, and everywhere, always in the middle, always from the middle undress yourself from all identities and you’ll touch this loud silence. this secretive, secreting voices of an other world, always being created. and here we are, and here it all is. can we break open without breaking apart?

    A hitchhiker's guide to the end of empire (Part 1)

    Why does it seem impossible to escape or imagine a world beyond the logics and premises of capital? What are these premises exactly and why are they inherently self-replicating and produce their own naturality? How our use of language is a production machine that is deeply entangled with enforcing these logics and premises and constantly capturing and absorbing every creative and revolutionary impulse? All of that and more in today's episode! --------------- If you want to support this project, join the Emergent Wisdom Collective, and embark on a yearlong journey of going from emergency to emergence, developing integral strategies for a thriving life amidst the poly-crisis and moving towards joyful usefulness, please do so here: https://www.patreon.com/c/emergentwisdom Or join our discord for free: https://discord.gg/HhGtvFRW To see more of Kris's work: https://www.instagram.com/kreatress_music/

    A cosmic giggle

    What if the universe, existence, and your life have no meaning whatsoever? Does that terrify you or set you free? In our increasingly more complex and uncertain world, a generational collective need for finding meaning only exacerbates, leaving us susceptible than ever to being manipulated by hegemony. In this episode, we felt inspired to explore the incredibly liberating quality that can be found in facing the meaninglessness of existence through the mystical phenomena of the cosmic giggle. And how what is left when all beliefs and relative moral systems are stripped down is a directly observable ecological responsibility towards all the cycles of life we are part of.

    Composting the inner Fascist

    In what ways, in our attempts at liberation, do we merely migrate the same logics that produce oppression and keep replicating the same realities? How coloniality, white supremacy, and even patriarchy are also (destructive) attempts at liberation and care? And what does all of that have to do with how we show up relationally in our personal and interpersonal relationships?  for his magnificent rhizomatic wisdom.

    Eros, Violence and the Body Without Organs

    Eros, erotic aliveness, is a force that can be liberating, healing, and transformative, or, when suppressed, privatized, and hidden in the shadows, a force of violence, violation, and destruction. In this episode, with the help of A'ida Shibli and the Patreon community here, I'd like to draw on the connection between Eros, the erotic side of the violence in Fascism, and the powerful liberatory side of the Erotics as a potent line of flight from systemic oppression. We will venture into some of the darkest corners of the human psyche and our own inner fascist. Move with tenderness and care, and poetically ground everything in ideas from the works of Deleuze and Guatarri in 'Capitalism and Schizophrenia and Emergent Ecological Principles. ---------- Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/emergentwisdom Work directly with me: https://form.typeform.com/to/Jn9kLhRJ Check out A'ida's work: Www.tamera.org Check out Kreatress: https://www.instagram.com/kreatress_music/

    Trickster’s fun: Conspirituality, Armageddons, and Embracing Mystery

    What’s common to bizarre conspiracy theories, new-age spiritualism, and the Neo-fascist pipeline?  Is there a connection between end-of-the-world prophecies and our current ecological realities?  Can we find non-linear, queer, meandering wisdom in the most absurdly nonsensical beliefs?  In today’s episode, we will explore all of that and more through the mythopoetic sense of the trickster archetype.  Support us on Patreon by joining our monthly group study and accessing full-length interviews with the guests.

    Death, Entanglement, and Individuation: How to be a Thriving Creature in a Collapsing World

    Why do I think we should kill hope? Where did our collective denial of death originate? What’s the difference between individuality and individuation? And how is this all connected to our collapsing world? All of that and more in today’s episode.  We all have different relationships with what’s happening in the world; some of us gravitate towards denial, others depressed, while some feel incredibly angry, all of which are valid states of grief as we are feeling the world’s suffering in our bodies, whether we are aware of it or not.  But what if, as we move through the stages of grief all the way towards acceptance, something emerges? A fresh lens of anticipatory resoluteness and a genuine excitement to be alive and play a meaningful role in the world’s unfolding?  And what might that look like for you? Care to find out?  -------------- Support us on Patreon and join our monthly study group: https://patreon.com/emergentwisdom Gratitude to Kreatress for her sound genius; find more about her work here: https://www.instagram.com/kreatress_music/ Other inspirational sources for this episode: Reproduction, Mothering, and the Origins of Patriarchy by AZIZAH AL-HIBRI Ram Dass’s work on death, activism, and suffering  Vanessa Andreotti and her book “Hospicing Modernity”  A series of conversations between Krishnamurti and David Bohm called “The End of time”

    Water always finds their way home: A manual for vibrancy in the age of Moloch.

    And what are we to do? And what are we to do? What if this is not about progressing into something entirely new but rather remembering forgotten wisdom that already permeates in our cells, blood and bones? What if the journey is challenging but a lot simpler than we think? A paragon of possibilities rather than a set of problems needs solving. What if there’s an actionable, embodied path to positioning oneself, community, and society as a joyful and active participant in the great unfolding of aliveness and in the liberation of all? A manual for vibrancy in the midst of chaos. If you will. -------------------- Join our monthly study groups on Patreon: https://patreon.com/emergentwisdom Check out Kreatress's music and work: https://www.instagram.com/kreatress_music/
