The Deep End

Carl Jung was clear that there is no way spiritually forward without facing our worst nature that we find in the dark. Just as there is no way to heal cancer without knowing it up close so will there be no justice until we look upclose at what is most dark within us.

Human Beings are “allegedly” made in God’s image. If so, God is first and foremost Creative and if we are made in her image then we are, first and foremost creative. The Christian Bible starts in a GOD’s garden and ends in God’s City. How can we claim our creative energy in this dark time? Redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

Contemplation used to be reserved for monks, clerics, and or academics. Today we are all called to be contempletives, to engage in the great reflection of reimagining who we are as a human family.

Where is the “home” in “our journey is our home”? What is that place? Is it a place at all? Can we ever really go home? Redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

What is sacred? Is it different fro holy or divine? Is life sacred? Why? Humankind came up with the concept of sacred and the holy for purposes that serve us all... as well as the ongoing development of the human family.

We explore the way human beings have seen God. As well, we dance with the mystics and look at God as a “verb” instead of merely a “noun”. And finally, we look at the Holy Presence as an experience and not mere belief.

We explorers what good and healthy leadership looks like and how America’s present leadership is a failure. We spend much of the podcast uncovering what kind of leadership we need as a people at this pivotal time of change in our history. Redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

America seems to learn and grow the most when we are at odds with ourselves and a threat to the very roots that give us life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We are at such an impasse now. We see this as a moment ripe with possibilities of a new vision of who and what we can be and become.

How is it we learn to be who we are with all our biases and prejudices? What is this process of socialization and internalization of our values and ideologies? And, how can we begin to see this process and consciously rewrite parts of who we are?

We try to be honest about our own racism and look at some of the underlying assumptions that make it such an insidious phenomena as not so much a problem of people of color but a problem of “whiteness”. As well, we address the huge systemic nature of racism and the forces that keep white folks from seeing it. Redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

We explore the Carl Jung’s idea of “synchronicity” and try to talk about it in ways that make it more understandable to the western thinking mind.

Do we really have a choice in anything or is it all predetermined? The human being stands between her limitations and her possibilities... do we have any free will at that junction? What is the difference between Fate and Destiny and how can we swim the the waters of all these force fields and see anything clearly? Redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

We refer to Carl Jung and James Hollis as we look at America’s spiritual crises and the kinds of responses folks make to it. We look at how Hollis relates this to “collapse, regression, distraction, narcotics and transformation” and come outlet with hope for transformation. Redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

Spiritual crises happens both with and without. What is it and how can we find new ways of talking about it? Using the metaphor of maps and how our life maps no longer fit the terrain we are in is apt and we comb through a number ow ways to face and create new maps in this time between worlds.

We have been in a global spiritual crises for most of our lifetime. What is it and how does it come to mean what it does. How does any meaning happen and what is “meaning”; and, most of all how can we change in the light of our spiritual crises? Love to hear from you. Redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

There is a place where the Natural laws and the Spiritual laws of the universe come together. We all dance at this mysterious junction when the real and unreal are sorted out. Join us....

We explore the concept of “vulnerability” and how it relates to growth and development as well as placing it within our metaphysic of semi-permeability as an integral aspect of the evolution of consciousness.

How do we talk about “Empirical Spirituality”, a way of being rooted in experience and not mere belief. We continue this exploration by positing a new Homy Trinity: Truth, Love and Justice.

In this time of isolation we are afforded a unique opportunity to look within. We explore the ways human beings have approached their personal chaos and put it in todays perspective.

Richard Dawkins, an atheist, âme up with the term "meme" and applied it in a negative way to religion and belief. Today it has taken on new meanings and they can help us understand religion in a positive way as well as see how a new religious meme is on the rise. redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

Carl Jung developed a way of describing what wholeness truly is. He called it "individuation". This is a life long process of waking to the internal conversation going on between the ego and the Self. It is a process of putting our most unique and individual nature into accord with the greater movement that is the Universe.

What is the difference between loneliness and solitude? How can we move from loneliness to true solitude, where we are at home with our own internal dialog and intentionally involved in that conversation. In a time of isolation we try to address some of the issues that can help us grow during this unique time.

What is Fear? What good is it? How does it impede our growth as human beings and how does it help us grow as human beings? We explore many of the threads of fear as well as how to overcome our fears, especially in this time of isolation and pandemic. redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

We explore one of humankind's greatest mysteries... Love. What is it? Why do we need it? Is it a mystical event? Love is a product of our genes, neurochemistry and family and friends lbut we still seem to need to "learn" love. Love to hear your thoughts. redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

Is a global awakening possible? ...or is it inevitable? We look at how our Deep End Metaphysics plays out when applied to the journey of human consciousness and our becoming aware of the interdependent and interconnectedness of everything there is. As well we look at how our view of the human being is shifting from one of autonomy to one of interdependence. redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com
