Enter the Dragon: On the Soul Initiation of the Entire Human Species

Coming Home to Love in Times of Crisis — Enter the Dragon. Nobody saw him coming. But here he is: 50 gigatons of methane, blasted into the Earth’s atmosphere like the burning fire of tens of thousands of nuclear bombs. Currently there is only a mere 5 gigatons of methane in the atmosphere. That’s a hot breeze. Now we…

An Intro to Soulmaking

Reflections on Imaginal Practice — I recently sat a one-week meditation retreat in Devon. It was a deep and delicious dive into the meditation practices of ‘Soulmaking Dharma’ developed by teachers Rob Burbea and Catherine McGee at Gaia House. Three days into the retreat on a blustery autumn evening, we sat together in silence around…

Dear Climate Movement: We Need to Talk About Fear

Because it’s Here to Help Us — I’m scared to write this. And that’s how I know it’s probably a good idea to do so: because its going to contain some information that will help me — and you — survive. We desperately need to change our relationship with fear. Since the basic function of fear is…

Eye of the Prophet

The prophet gives his eyes and ears, that his god might see and hear. Thus he is made: blind and deaf to selfishness, sensitive only to the needs and desires of the whole. Of his god. The prophet gives his mouth, that his god might speak and sing upon the…

40 Ways to Free Yourself from Biocapitalism

Join the Revolution — We are in a war on consciousness. A war for the soul of humanity. The fight to stay awake has never been harder. The unconscious System, in its insatiable quest to maximise profits above all other considerations, feeds off our unconsciousness: our lack of awareness and awakeness. …

The Edge of Chaos in Art and Action

15 Real-World Examples — Natural selection. In multicellular organisms, DNA is the structural loop that is replicated from generation to generation. Environmental stimuli and sexual reproduction bring the mutations. This introduces chaos into the system: the DNA is not only replicated but iterated (a little different each time). These genetic differences give rise to…

Transpersonal Artmaking

Poets of Perception, Magicians of Matter From an ego-centric perspective, one makes art. I make art. From a trans-personal or trans-individual perspective, art emerges from the collective psyche, and is completely inseparable from it. It is the expression of our inherently creative collective consciousness, which is itself an elaborate organic…

The World Is A Flower in Psyche

Today I would like to share an invitation with you. It is an invitation to overturn some of our most basic assumptions about what the world is, where it came from, and why it is all happening — and to step into a far vaster and more incredible conception of…

Waking Up to Meta-Identity

Infinite Freedom of the Infinite (Meta-)Play — Join me, if you will, in entertaining a little story about reality. It goes like this: We are all characters in a play. The play is infinitely vast and exquisitely complex, ornate and beautiful — but it is still a play. It isn’t real. …

Beyond Transcendental Buddhism

Birthing the Future Human — Creation was not made to be escaped. Reincarnation (for which we now have convincing evidence) is not a trap but a supremely intelligent process by which nature develops, evolves and refines individuals. This process “does not culminate in a spiritual awakening that liberates us from this planet, but in the…
