Nodes in the NetNodes 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...
2024-09-111h 21Nodes in the NetNitN 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.

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...
2024-08-271h 01Nodes in the NetNitN 0.6 - An Unprecedented Cultural Moment for WholenessThe 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...
