Growing Down: A Progressive Integral PodcastNot Necessarily PoliticsFrayed. That's the word I think of when I think of how I left Growing Down. Growing Down was last published in 2020. A lot of water has flown under the bridge since that time. Here is an update of cohosts Jeremy and Ryan: Jeremy is engaged in other projects but is up for reunions now and then. Ryan has created a wonderful political podcast "Meta-Ideological Politics" with Nate Coffman that deserves a listen to. As for me, I was not ready to let Growing Down, or GD, go because I believe the panel of thinkers we interviewed a...2022-02-2245 min

Cali Claptrap: Integral ConversationsNatalie SudmanNatalie Sudman is the author of: Application of Impossible Things; My Near Death Experience in Iraq. Dr. Eben Alexander, author of Proof of Heaven: a Neurosurgeon Journey into the Afterlife, calls Application of Impossible Things ”one of the most astounding and significant NDE (near death experience) ever recorded.” I have been interested in NDE literature since my early twenties because I could not find the insights I needed through church or other spiritual outlets. While I had faith, I craved proof. The ultimate proof for all of us will happen one day but I needed a narrative that made my l...2022-02-0759 min

Cali Claptrap: Integral ConversationsBrent CooperToday's guest is Brent Cooper. Brent is a Canadian metamodern writer and a political thinker. Brent has been a guest on shows such as the Stoa, John Vervaeke, Jim Rhutt, amongst others. I can’t think of a better description of Brent than the one he wrote about himself on his Medium page: "Political sociologist by training, mystic by nature, rebel by choice." While Brent has a reputation of a clasher, I don’t think his fights come from a Trickster spirit. What I appreciate about Brent is his willingness to fight for the cause. It’s a cause that a...2021-10-1349 min

Cali Claptrap: Integral ConversationsAlyssa TolvaAlyssa Tolva is the branch manager for the Cupcake Girls for Oregon and SW Washington. The Cupcake Girls was founded by Joy Hoover in Las Vegas in 2010 and now has offices in Las Vegas and Portland. The name was given to the organization because cupcakes, along with other self-care activities like hair and nails, were brought to the sex workers to open dialogue. Who can resist the power of a cupcake? Soon, they became known as the Cupcake Girls.The mission of the Cupcake Girls is to provide “confidential support to those involved in the sex industry, as...2021-09-1025 min

Cali Claptrap: Integral ConversationsJorge FerrerPersistence pays off! After 15 months of correspondence I was able to catch the big fish: Jorge Ferrer. Jorge is the author of Revisioning Transpersonal Theory and Participation and the Mystery. Participation and the Mystery might be the best integral book I have read since Sex, Ecology and Spirituality because of its overview of both the theory and the application of integral. One of my main drives of this podcast is to help understand integral better. Prior to immersing myself in the integral community, I was largely unaware of many of the pivotal books and thinkers that shaped that which...2021-09-0541 min

Cali Claptrap: Integral ConversationsJeff SalzmanBefore immersing myself in the integral community, I envisioned a utopian setting where everyone got along and were on the same page. Come to find that's not the case. So, why isn't integral more popular? Why does the subject of development trigger pushback? How should an integralist participate in the world?Jeff Salzman has the answers. Most of you will know Jeff as the host of the the integral podcast, the Daily Evolver. Daily Evolver identifies as a "post-progressive look at politics and culture". Daily Evolver is my E!News-and I mean this in the highest regard. J...2021-08-1936 min

Cali Claptrap: Integral ConversationsKen VolanteYou are either on Team Human or you are not. Team Human remains optimisitic that despite all the atrocities caused by man there is still a sliver of hope that humans can get their shit together. I created this podcast because, as much as I am pulled to believe we are past the point of no return, there are still humans out there doing good work. Ken Volante is one of those guys. In September of 2020 I inteviewed John Thorne the creator of the Twin Peaks fanzine "Wrapped in Plastic". After listening to the podcast, Ken Volante reached out t...2021-07-1739 min

Cali Claptrap: Integral ConversationsJoan RyanOn October 10th, 1987 at Candlestick Park, in the National League Championship, an eleven-year-old boy sat with his family to watch the Giants beat the Cardinals 4-2. Led by ace Mike Krukow and the 4th consecutive game with a home run by Jeffrey Leonard, the Giants evened the series 2-2, in the best of seven. Post-game, somewhere in the bowels of the Stick, Joan Ryan possibly interviewed the jubilant team hopeful they could win two more. They won the next day at home but ended up losing in seven as the bats became silent. Joan and I would have to...2021-04-0959 min

Cali Claptrap: Integral ConversationsChris ConradCris Conrad is a court qualified cannabis expert witness, long-time cannabis advocate, author of a Newbie's Guide to Cannabis and the Industry and the founder of Cantheism. On a whim I looked up cannabis religions online because I was not really familiar with any besides Rastarianism. This is how I became aware of Cantheism. On this episode we explore Chris's history of being a political activist and how in 1988 he focused his attention on creating a business alliance for the hemp industry, medical marijuana and the adult use of marijuana. He thought it would take five years. I...2021-03-141h 17

Cali Claptrap: Integral ConversationsBrandon DaytonBrandon is the creator of the comic book Green Monk and host of the podcast How to be an Artist. I'm a firm believer that our greatest art is the life we live. Ken Wilber shared on the audiobook Kosmic Consciousness that Integral art is all art that comes from the Integral structure. This is an amazingly open and liberating statement if true. It also redirects the grand question of "What is art?" to "What is the integral structure?". I am very drawn to the art world and especially comics. Like Brandon, I shared a de...2021-03-1344 min

Cali Claptrap: Integral ConversationsAnn GleigIn today's episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with guest Ann Gleig. Ann Gleig is an associate professor of Religious Studies at the University of Central Florida and author of American Dharma: Buddhism Beyond Modernity. Her book presents Buddhism's introduction to the West and its manifestations through America’s cultural evolutions.In 1968, Chögyam Trungpa said that the West needed a different approach to Buddhism. What became of this approach? 50 years later, American Dharma examines Buddhism's integration and dissociation in American culture viewed through a post-modern lens: sexual misconduct, the exclusion of people of color and the...2021-03-1250 min

Cali Claptrap: Integral ConversationsOwl & the Duck: Songs of '20Tim and Matt return to talk about their favorite songs of the year 2020. Backstories to things sometimes are essential to the entire story. We attempted this same recording a week ago but I am technologically challenged. Hence, the mythic proportions referenced of that recording in this episode. Fate is a groove on eternal wax. We set out to talk about our "best" songs. I admire those skilled writers who can describe music. It is a bit of a challenge; which, as I write this, question my ability to describe what goes on inside of me whe...2021-02-1353 min

"Seeing Through the World" is a tour de force and a required book for any integral library. John son writes, "Gebser offers us a way of thinking about the present that is difficult to disagree with in any of its major points: the structures of consciosuness are palpable realities that can be recognized by the careful reader in a concrete way, the Janus-faced interim age between the mental and the integral inform us on our current crisis between technology...2021-01-3039 min

The Integral Christian Network (ICN) is a global platform that invites practioners to deepen their connection to Christian spirituality through transpersonal practices, such as WeSpace groups, Integral Prayer and "Whole Body Mystical Awakening" guided meditations. As someone raised in the Catholic faith, the Christmas season has special meaning. Immersing myself in the integral community and practice has given me the perspective (or aperspective, if you prefer) to integrate the magical, the mythical, the mental structures of Christianity.

Cali Claptrap: Integral ConversationsMeegan ForchetteA boon of social media is the ability to connect with others you may have never met in the past because of distance. I found Meegan on IG. I wanted to ask about tarot and what drew her to tarot. While I think it is important to have healthy skepticism in life, it is also as important to keep an open mind to the things we can't explain. A balance between our left and right hemispheres of our brain can produce a harmony we all seek. Can tarot provide clues to this balance? Tune in and find out! Find Me...2020-11-0725 min

Cali Claptrap: Integral ConversationsRyan NakadeI met Ryan a couple of years ago on Integral Life, a hub for followers of Ken WIlber's Integral theory. At that time of my life I sought out a sangha to help develop and enrich my own integral practice. Ryan welcomed me into a weekly zoom call he was participating in at that time and as the saying goes-the rest is history. Eight months ago Ryan, Jeremy Johnson and I created an integral political podcast named Growing Down. Ryan has described himself as a political animal.

Cali Claptrap: Integral ConversationsEric EagerHow can you not be romantic about football? Many non-sports fans might be familiar with "moneyball" a theory popularized in the motion picture starring Brad Pitt. Analytics has changed the way baseball will forever be played. But what about football? Today's guest is Eric Eager. Eric Eager is a data scientist at Pro Football Focus (PFF). Eric explains how analytics is transforming the game of football: Should you sign running backs to lucrative contracts?

Cali Claptrap: Integral ConversationsMark FormanMark Forman is an integrally-informed licensed therapist in the state of California. His book "The Monster's Journey: From Trauma to Connection" examines trauma using an adaptation based off of Joseph's Campbell transformational guide "The Hero with a Thousand Faces." An integral life practice requires us to examine our shadow and do the work of cleaning up. When we don't challenge and confront our own adverse childhood experiences, or trauma, our lives become fragmented. Our narratives become incoherent. Anakin Skywalker becomes Darth Vader. Mark is transparent, vulnerable and bravely bears his soul by sharing his own tr...2020-10-0838 min

Cali Claptrap: Integral ConversationsSteven Albini"We can discern in the auditory aspect of several verbs, used in their normal way, the acoustic-magic stress indicative of the extent to which power is expressed, not in a palpable but rather an auditory manner and appeals to the incomprehensible and prerational in us: to belong, to obey; and, to submit. These words and what they convey are always subordinated to power that we ascribe to things, events, or human beings, whether as possessions, authoritarian beliefs, or sexuality; and they are always connected to the loss of ego and responsibility. It is not the sun-related eye but the...2020-09-2448 min

Cali Claptrap: Integral ConversationsJohn Thorne"What year is it?" These words were spoken three years ago by the protagonist Dale Cooper at the conclusion of Twin Peaks in 2017. As powerful as they were then, they have only become stronger with age. Perhaps, it is due to finding ourselves in the middle of a pandemic in 2020 where time has appeared to warp with its disruption of most laborious routines. "I'll see you again in 25 years," Laura Palmer informs Dale Cooper in the finale of the second season. Most Twin Peaks fans believed that was the end, including today's guest Joh...2020-09-1641 min

Cali Claptrap: Integral ConversationsGary LundgrenGary Lundgren is the writer and director of such films as Calvin Marshall, Redwood Highway and Black Road. I selected his most recent film "Phoenix, Oregon" because of the local connection to my hometown of Eugene, Oregon. I expected very little from it but gave it my promised 15 minutes assessment. I wasn't expecting to make past five minutes, truth be told, but Gary's film immerses you into his story with its engaging characters and subdued plot. Who cannot cheer for Bobby and Carlos' attempt to revitalize a foreclosed bowling alley? The subject matter reminded me of Gary Putnam's book, "...2020-09-0734 min

How often can we interview figures that played such a key role in our lives? If you haven't heard the riff of the opening song "Sadness" of Porno For Pyros' epononymous album, then please take a moment to do so now. I was 17 and a senior in high school when I heard this.
