    Episode 301: Kuma Bwenze--Bwete/Iboga/Reconciliation/Spiritual Possession

    Ikara retreat center is located in the southern zone of Costa Rica.  Ikara is the western representative of Mboka A Nzambe -- one of the last traditional Bwete villages in Gabon.   King Adumangana of Mboka A Nzambe invited Kuma to join the African village and be initiated as a Miobe Nganga.  During his initiation, Kuma was taken deep into the Babongo territories (the home of the Babongo Pygmies) in Dibios to do his rite of passage Mweli before his initiation could be completed.   Kuma was the first westerner to be initiated for this great privilege.  King Adumangana wanted Kuma to be his advocate for the west and convey the knowledge, teachings, and spirituality of Bwete.   In this way, the main aim of Ikara is to screen people who may wish to visit Mboka A Nziambe in Gabon.  King Adumangana wants people to come and experience the traditional process of rebirth in its traditional manner.  Ikara offers traditional Babongo Miobe Ombudi Iboga ceremonies as taught by Spiritual Father King Adumangana.  All profits go directly to Mboka A Nzambe and the 7 Babongo villages supported in Dibois.

    Episode 299: L.E. Maroski: "Embracing Paradox, Evolving Language: Expressing the Unity and Complexity of Integral Consciousness"

    In Embracing Paradox, Evolving Language (2024), L.E. Maroski proposes that humanity is poised on the cusp of a transformation of consciousness that requires not only a shift in values and perspectives, but also a shift in a basic technology we take for granted--language.  Maroski questions the cultural assumptions that are built into the structure of language and invites the reader to imagine and ultimately to help develop novel structures of language that arise from different assumptions.  To do so, she shows how we can draw inspiration from paradoxical topological forms, such as the Mobius strip and Klein bottle, as they embody both unity and duality/multiplicity.  By seeing our reality not simply in terms of either/or but also in terms of both(many)/and, perhaps we can better appreciate the wholeness of all existence.   For more information about Lisa, please see: https://lisamaroski.com This podcast is available on your favorite podcast platform, or here:https://endoftheroad.libsyn.com/episode-299-le-maroski-embracing-paradox-evolving-language-expressing-the-unity-and-complexity-of-integral-consciousness Have a blessed week!
