Time ain’t linear, and this moment is an eddie…. As Mercury circles back, so must we, if we are to heed the tides of nature, and the gods of time. What must we retrieve in order to flow forward more fully?
This episode is a collage of selections from blogs I’ve written over the past 5 years. In going back, I actually surprised myself to see how I’ve been mulling over the same questions for many years. Here, I gather the threads of thought that I will continue to weave in episodes to come. A few themes emerge:
* Empire and consciousness
* Knowledge, power, and paradigm
* Unknowingness in Times of Change
* Selfhood as political necessity
* Courage in the face of monsters

Scientific, cultural, and political revolution go hand in hand
It’s almost trite to speak of our current moment as a paradigm shift. Yet, if we root the concept in Kuhn’s analysis of scientific revolution, it may be a useful lens with which to make sense of these times of massive change.
When we understand the current dominant mode of thought in a historical and global context, it becomes clear that its basis in reductive materialism is by far the anomaly. A more spiritual or animist worldview is the norm both historically and globally.
This episode looks at this from a decolonial perspective. In the future I want to come at the same question from scientific and philosophical perspectives, a line of thinking I started exploring here (in my most popular blog post, which I’ve unlocked for a time).

A meditation on the mysterious unity underlying opposites. Weaving ideas from Heraclitus, Hegel, Jung, Zen Buddhism, and a touch of Tantra, we explore how mystical union might be applied to everyday life and what it has to do with the extreme polarities characteristic of the times we live in.
This is the very tip of the iceberg. This conversation will definitely continue in futures episodes.
*A note: I mention that the unconscious will emerge as psychological symptoms if not integrated, but should have mentioned that before that it may emerge through dreams, fantasies, slips, etc.
