    Ep 86 | UTOKing with Baron Short | Zendo: A Revolutionary Brain Stimulation Device

    In this episode, Gregg is joined by Dr. Baron Short to talk about Zendo, which is a potentially revolutionary brain stimulation device to help advance meditation and calm self-conscious neurotic tendencies. Dr. Short is an interventional psychiatrist and medical director of the Brain Stimulation Services at the Medical University of South Carolina. He and Gregg co-produced the UTOK video series, The Mindedness Revolution.   In this episode, Dr. Short describes Zendo and how this breakthrough technology emerged. As described on the website, Zendo is a meditation assistance device that makes meditating easier. Experience what it’s like to instantly quiet your mind. Be more calm, less stressed, and reduce distracting thoughts in a single 20 minute session. With Zendo, every meditation feels like your best session.   Gregg has been using Zendo since early December and he describes the effects that it has had on him, including increased focus and industriousness, a calming “chill” feeling, and attentional clarity, and highly recommends the product to listeners.   Links: Zendo homepage: https://www.zendomeditation.com/ ➡️ If you purchase a Zendo, put in "UTOK" in the promotional code to receive a discount!   Mindedness Revolution: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTJe1xFfoxrCdPDuZknhIm1rxy6Tag1ug

    Ep 84 | UTOKing with Layman Pascal (7) | George Gurdjieff, a Metamodern Hero

    In this episode, Layman returns to the show for the seventh time to discuss his recently published book, Gurdjieff for a Time Between Worlds. In it, Layman recounts Gurdjieff’s fascinating life and approach to spirituality and why the book was a “hyperpersonal” endeavor that was appropriate for the metamodern age. Layman also clarifies some common misconceptions, explains why he has a unique take on Gurdjieff and bridges Gurdjieff’s perspective on the body, emotions, and the mind with UTOK’s conception of the three layers of mindedness (https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/theory-of-knowledge/202401/the-mind-versus-layers-of-mindedness).   Gurdjieff for a Time Between Worlds: https://www.skymeadowinstitute.org/press   - - - ℹ️ Find out more about Layman Pascal ℹ️ - - - Substack: https://laymanpascal.substack.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/liquidsyntax The Integral Stage on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaA4zkLRnR3lGm8Y7c5Tvdw   - - - ℹ️ Find out more about Gregg Henriques ℹ️ - - - Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/contributors/gregg-henriques-phd Medium: https://gregghenriques.medium.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/henriqgx   - - - 🌳 The Unified Theory of Knowledge 🌳 - - - Community: https://utok.circle.so Homepage: https://www.utokunifiedtheoryofknowledge.com/ Medium: https://medium.com/unified-theory-of-knowledge Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_knowledge_system

    Ep 83 | UTOKing with Bobby Azarian | Romancing Reality on the Road to Omega

    In this episode, the cognitive neuroscientist and author of The Romance of Reality (see here for Gregg’s review), Bobby Azarian joins the program to discuss his “unifying theory of reality” and vision for bridging science and religion. Bobby explains how he interprets the universe through a universal learning algorithm and shares what this means for how we make sense of ourselves and derive meaning from the world. The two review Bobby’s book, draw connections between his views and UTOK and examine what is next in sharing his vision with the world.   ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Bobby Azarian - - - ℹ️ Book: The Romance of Reality: https://www.theromanceofreality.com/ X: https://x.com/bobbyazarian   ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Gregg Henriques - - - ℹ️ Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/contributors/gregg-henriques-phd Medium: https://gregghenriques.medium.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/henriqgx   🌳 - - - The Unified Theory of Knowledge - - - 🌳 Homepage: https://www.unifiedtheoryofknowledge.org/ Medium: https://medium.com/unified-theory-of-knowledge Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_knowledge_system

    Ep 82 | UTOKing with Brendan Graham Dempsey | A Universal Learning Process at the Heart of Meaning

    In this episode, the philosopher Brendan Graham Dempsey joins Gregg to talk about his new book, A Universal Learning Process. It is the first installment of a larger work on The Evolution of Meaning. The book frames the complexification in the universe across the arc of cosmic evolution from the Big Bang to present as a kind of learning that goes through phases. Grounded in the ontology provided by the Tree of Knowledge System and Periodic Table of Behavior, the book charts this evolution starting with Energy and Information and then frames the complexification in Matter as “structural learning,” in Life as “genetic learning,” in Mind as “cognitive learning,” and in Culture as “symbolic learning.” Ultimately, the book culminates on the implications for what is sacred.    ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Brendan Graham Dempsey - - - ℹ️ Book: The Evolution of Meaning - A Universal Learning Process  Press | Sky Meadow Institute Homepage: https://www.brendangrahamdempsey.com/   ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Gregg Henriques - - - ℹ️ Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/contributors/gregg-henriques-phd Medium: https://gregghenriques.medium.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/henriqgx   🌳 - - - The Unified Theory of Knowledge - - - 🌳 Homepage: https://www.unifiedtheoryofknowledge.org/ Medium: https://medium.com/unified-theory-of-knowledge Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_knowledge_system

    Ep 79 | UTOKing with Vivian Dittmar | On the Healthy Release of Emotional Baggage

    In this episode, Gregg is joined by Vivian Dittmar. Vivian is an author, wisdom teacher and founder of the Be the Change Foundation. She has a diverse background that includes experiences in traditional cultures, Far Eastern philosophy, and shamanic traditions, outlines a framework differentiating physical sensations, biological instincts, social feelings, unprocessed emotions, and transcendent abilities. She emphasizes practices that help process difficult emotions to develop wisdom rather than escape into spiritual bypassing. In this episode, she describes her framework for the emotional backpack and healthy, conscious release. Gregg reflects on how this aligns with UTOK’s model of human consciousness and the unified approach to psychotherapy.   ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Vivian Dittmar- - - ℹ️ Homepage: https://viviandittmar.net/en/ Free Workshop: Introduction to Conscious Release: https://signup.lebensweise.net/conscious-release-workshop#:~:text=This%20free%20workshop%20introduces%20Conscious,healing%20happens%20through%20conscious%20feeling.
