Decoding the GurusBill Maher: A boozy, stoned, liberal take on classic anti-vax tropesBill Maher is an American comedian, political commentator, and television host from the tail end of the baby-boomer generation. He's principally a centrist liberal in terms of his political leanings, being well known for his anti-religious and pro-animal rights positions, as well as a supporter of things like cannabis legalisation. On the other hand, he's something of a contrarian and styles himself as anti-political correctness and anti-woke, identifying as a disenchanted liberal, like Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris.Now, all of that is well and good, let a hundred flowers bloom!

They wrote a book together called ‘Zombies in Western Culture: A Twenty-First Century Crisis’ and Chris is currently helping John to turn his Meaning Crisis lecture series into a book. In our conversation we discuss how these ideas about symbolism in a postmodern world are changing our culture, what the new world will look like and what it takes to get there. We also talk more generally about growth and repentance, breakdown, grace, academia VS this online world, our upcoming projects, and...2022-12-311h 19
Maniphesto - Conversations on MasculinityReligion and Psycho-technologies | John Vervaeke with Christopher MastropietroAt MMA we recently had a rich discussion with philosopher and cognitive scientist John Vervaeke and his writing partner Christopher Mastropietro about religion for people ‘between worlds’; in other words, for those who can’t accept either traditional religion or mere atheism. We talked about the need for what John has called psycho-technologies, such as meditation and dia-logos. Our central question was: how do we recover the sacred in the age of science, expand the meaning of our rationality, and find meaning in an age of nihilism, fundamentalism, and the meaning crisis? John believes we are on the cusp of a par...2022-04-141h 18
SENSESPACEEp. 28 Christopher Mastropietro - The Practice of Transformative DialogueChristopher Mastropietro is a philosophical power house, prolific writer and a key collaborator in Dialogos with John Vervaeke, Jordan Hall, Guy Sengstock & others.
In this wonderful conversation, Christopher leads a socratic enquiry into my work on the practice of transformative dialogue, which was deeply inspired by Christopher's work on Dialogos. I speak to the intersection of Men's spaces and transformative dialogue in the Men Emerging initiative, and Christopher speaks to his interest in exploring the relationship between Dialogos & the unconscious.

The Integral StageTHE LIMINAL SCENE: An "I" for an Elusive "I" (responding to Vervaeke's trialogues) w/ Bruce AldermanLayman Pascal and Bruce Alderman offer some riffs and reflections on John Vervaeke, Gregg Henriques, and Christopher Mastropietro's excellent 12-part dialogos on the nature and function of the self, "The Elusive I." What kind of language can mediate between objective models and subjective experiences of the self, between science and clinical practice? What is the dance between the elusiveness of the I and anatman, or the emptiness of the self? How does the model of the self in The Elusive I relate to the models developed in transpersonal, integral, and esoteric psychologies? What can Kierkegaard teach us about the nondua...2021-07-091h 57

SENSESPACEEp.12 Guy Sengstock-Lifting the Veil: Deep World Listening & Breaking Free of Traumatic PerceptionI catch up with Philosopher-Sage Guy Sengstock for a broad enquiry into what it means to listen deeply to world. We discuss Carl Jung’s unconscious and psychedelic reality. Building on this we consider the very different ways in which texts reveal themselves and what it means for our reading to be guided by intuition. We enter the mystifying territory of what it means to listen deeply to world and logos, what is the 'veil' and what calls forth the salience that guides and shapes our lives.
In the second half we explore the mechanisms by which trau...2020-08-241h 34ParallaxIn conversation with John Vervaeke and Christopher Mastropietro #4: Reinventing ArtIs art moral?

The main theme was reinventing beauty, but we spoke about soul, virtue, and faith. John also proposed reinventing argumentation, and came up with four propositions:
Beauty is the sweet spot between suchness (intimacy) and moreness (transcendence)
Beauty is the activity of philo-sophia
Virtue is the beauty of wisdom
Dialectic is the beautification of speech to conform to how we practice wisdom

We take a deep dive into how ubiquitous pornography is fragmenting our sense of self and affecting intimacy drawing on our own experiences. Lastly we delve into and practice a new and mysterious conversational practice known as ‘Dialogos’ which presents a doorway to a more joyful and meaningful life as well as an attunement to concealed realities.
