Into the Golden Thread

Into the Golden Thread is a perennial and curious approach to exploring and discovering meaningful and actionable subjects through conversation. Dialogue and soliloquy range in topics from metaphysics, health, self-knowledge, thresholds and myth - to science, scientism, religion, and... My intention is a proliferation of the genius within every individual, support in composting elements ready for death or renunciation, the the planting of seeds in mind and heart to grow well in usherance towards coming home to ourselves in communion with greater family. Intro music by John Gruntfest.

    Ways the 'I' Learns From the 'We'

    Today's podcast is Into the Golden Thread's first in-studio conversation and I'm joined by my friend Andrew Gibbens. Our conversation explores some of how individuation includes all the joys and trappings of being a part of and moving through all sorts of group experiences. As a lifelong artist, musician, former Hospice Chaplain and local agricultural steward, Andrew's range of experiences and humility continually enrich dialouges exploring creativity, getting to know historical and current influences on the state of our world, and candid sharing of the journey of coming to 'know thyself.'  Below are links to some of Andrew's current work: vimeo.com/lyberarchelulo  lyberarchelulo.bandcamp.com

    Difficult Conversations Pt 1

    In this episode I'm joined once again by Brandon Atkins; PHD Candidate in Psychology with a focus on Cognition and Instruction with a focus on Mindfulness.  Here we dive into a topic that will be revisited more in the future - Difficult Conversations.  What makes communicating so challenging? What are causes to the state of our heightened challenges to deeply understand one another?  We also explore and offer practices anchored in deepening your self-awareness, and in approaching difficult conversations with new perspectives.

    Love Bricks: The Brilliance of the Heart's Defenses

    In this Episode with my first (and to be recurring) guest, dear friend, teacher, and psychologist with a focus on cognition and instruction - Brandon Atkins, we explore the terrain of how the heart's defenses which we so often are entangled or disentangling from -  have and are operating from a very deep intelligence that can be moved closer to and more intimately known, personally.  Book Mentioned in Episode: Living from the Heart: Heart Rhythm Meditation for Energy, Clarity, Peace, Joy, and Inner Power. Author- Puran Bair Grief and Praise: Martin Prechtel (3 Parts): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUwewfPPSbE Grief, Ritual, Sacrifice: Malidoma Somé - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7I97ebNn0I

    Cultural Cults in the Soup of Modernity

    In this episode I move into exploring how and what if some level of cultual and cultural experiences might be a necessary part of cultivating our humanity? In the next episode I'll get into what I've experienced and researched as to some of the underpinning reasons around what influences a person's relative succeptibility into cultic relating. I'll say now that the conditions are relative to the indivdual, and not what you might have thought.  Thanks for listening in.

    Scientism, the Not New but Well Hidden Secular Religion of the Modern World

    This episode does some exploring mostly through the lens of a few noteable outspoken commentators: a philosopher, writer, and a psychologist, on what makes Scientism very different from science, and very dangerous when it exists without being called out or discerned as a fundamentalist worldview. Scientism can be viewed as a secular religion, running on blind faith, heralded through a select class of 'experts' that now overflows in to government and corporate statism.  Some links to explore mentioned in the episode: 1. Huston Smith excerpt on Scientism: https://bit.ly/3swRix8 2. Lord Northbourne excerpt from Religion and Science: https://bit.ly/3l4TZC3 3. Abraham Maslow book link - The Psychology of Science: https://bit.ly/3sw53MA 4. Huston Smith book - The Forgotten Truth: https://bit.ly/3yGQ0n8
