It’s not robotic small talk; the Nodes in the Net podcast is weekly, wide-ranging, irreverent, tangential “big” talk featuring delightful conversations with Geoff Gallinger, millennial dilettante. It’s spiritual and philosophical; introspective (often) and political (on occasion). Borrowing from Buddhism’s Indra, Geoff and his guests are Nodes in the Net—but so are you—and we’re all aiming to strengthen the fibers connecting us by polishing up each brilliantly reflective node.

    Nodes 89 - Brendan Graham Dempsey (Queen of Wands OR Cultivating Metamodernist Courage and Optimism)

    Metamodernism! Integral Theory! The limits of postmodern pluralism and the teleology that our civilization needs to acknowledge and integrate that is pulling us closer toward an ever-retreating horizon. Brendan provides some comfort for those who are miffed that the Modernist promise of future utopia and the Postmodernist promise of a return to anarcho-primitivism both are unlikely to meet all our needs or even ever truly be actualized.He beautifully articulates the Metamodern vision that arises via reflection on those previous movements: one of forever improving the world, helping everyone as much as we can, and pitching in however possible to just make the world a slightly better place.

    NitN 0.7 - Your Community, the Liminal Trickster Mystics (voiceover)

    Super proud of this essay on the emergent subculture of Liminal Trickster Mystics that has given me a home and conquered my inability to ever feel like I belong anywhere. In a world where self-promo demands 11/10 excitement at all times, it’s hard to convey your feelings when you write something that you truly believe might make an impact on people’s lives. I feel that this is one of those times. Follow on Substack: The Creekmasons Follow on TikTok: ⁠@creekmasons⁠ If you like what you’re finding around there, join our community!

    Nodes 88 - Deborah Eden Tull (Three of Cups OR Celebrating the Dark Parts that Make us Whole)

    Today I spoke with Deborah Eden Tull, brilliant author of the Buddhist manual on embracing the shadow, Luminous Darkness. We spoke about Endarkenment of course! That's her concept, an alternative to enlightenment that is required if we are to reach the wholeness that our interesting moment of history demands. We dive into all-caps LOVE that creates opportunities to balance the Yin and the Yang of Receptivity and Agency, Feminine and Masculine, Earth and Heaven. We explore concrete tips for listening, achieving stillness, and celebrating every aspect of being human, regardless of how stigmatized or repressed some of those experiences can sometimes be in this Patriarchal, White Supremacist, Colonialist, Capitalist hellscape. Here's Eden's bio! Deborah Eden Tull, founder of the nonprofit Mindful Living Revolution, is Zen meditation/mindfulness teacher, author, and spiritual activist. She spent seven years as a monastic at a silent Zen Monastery, and has been immersed in sustainable communities for 25 years. Eden’s teaching style is grounded in compassionate awareness, non-duality, mindful inquiry, and an unwavering commitment to personal transformation. She teaches dharma intertwined with post-patriarchal thought and practices, resting upon a lived knowledge of our unity with the more than human world. She also facilitates The Work That Reconnects, as created by Buddhist scholar Joanna Macy. Eden has been practicing meditation for the past 30 years and teaching for over 20 years. Her books include Luminous Darkness: An Engaged Buddhist Approach to Embracing the Unknown (Shambhala 2022), Relational Mindfulness: A Handbook for Deepening Our Connection with Our Self, Each Other, and Our Planet (Wisdom 2018), and The Natural Kitchen: Your Guide to the Sustainable Food Revolution (Process Media 2011). She lives in Black Mountain,North Carolina, Cherokee land, and offers retreats, workshops, leadership trainings, and consultations internationally.

    NitN 0.6 - An Unprecedented Cultural Moment for Wholeness

    The first Essay Week has arrived! Even if you've already read "Yes-And-Ness" Outshines "Radical Acceptance", today's episode is worth main-lining for the medium-length, medium-mania rant I am broadcasting straight into your cortex. Just try to shut me up about the cultural moment we find ourselves in, in which we have unprecedented access to the genius of spiritual traditions from across the globe. We have an opportunity to marry the perspectives of both Radical Responsibility and Radical Acceptance into one integral whole that enables us to transcend the limits of somnambulent samsara, and awaken into a liberated state that also honors the wonder, beauty, and strangeness of our embodied, intuitive, receptive and squishy selves. Join our Digital Sangha by signing up to the mailing list at Creekmasons.com in order to receive email notifications for essays like this one, AND the brilliant work of co-conspirator, collaborator and co-creator of the Creekmasons, Colin Reinagel!

    Nodes 86 - Dr. Cynthia Miller (Justice tracks the causal chain to 12 Dimensional Aquarian awakening!)

    I had a truly enlivening conversation with the newest Node, Dr. Cynthia Miller, brilliant, awakened author of both books and blogs! We discuss the doctor's 12 Dimensional model of consciousness' progress into actualization, the toxic sides of both masculinity AND femininity, and the power of our ever evolving community of seekers in fostering faster and faster spiritual growth!

    Nodes 85 - Layman Pascal (Eight of Pentacles: The Hard Work of Generating Surplus Coherence)

    Layman Pascal becomes a Node twice over with this wonderful episode about the pursuit of self-actualization. We discuss practices for deepening the connection with the divine, embracing liminal spaces in a revolution that includes dancing, and the importance of discernment in embodied sensemaking. Not to selfishly claim him as a part of our tribe, but Layman is one of the most Liminal Trickster Mystic thinkers that I've never encountered in the wild. Like a true New Thought-esque manifestation of the idealogy I've held near and dear for all these years. You're going to love this conversation.
