The Deep End

We look at the many ways of understanding "becoming new", from born again, to nirvana, moksha, enlightenment, etc. What does this really mean? Are they the same or different? How can we become new in today's world and in the light of today's understandings? redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

There are "FORCES" that control, impede and facilitate our growing nature, from physics to Biology to psychology, sociology and culture. We explore these forces and how to not just become aware of them but to attend them in ways that are healthy. redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

Rev. Redhawk and Dr. Bob pick up the conversation started on our last podcast. We start with the revelations we uncovered about the qualities of the new religion that is on the rise and expand on our understanding of by linking it to science and the many new ways of seeing nature herself. redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

Everything is getting together receiving, differentiating and complexifying... And religion is doing the same thing. The many world religions and the plethora of spiritual movements have been interacting and cross-referencing for a few generations. Is there a new religion on the horizon? We think yes; so what will it look like? redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

We explore many of the spiritual words and concepts that are difficult to see because they are so embedded in our cultural language. From Eden to Resurrection to being Prophetic, etc., if we look around us we will see our daily language peppered with spiritual and religious language. redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

So many say they are spiritual an not religious, then they go on and use religious language to talk about their spirituality. Most people don't recognize that the religious roots of the language they use to talk about their own spiritual state of affairs. What are some of the religious words that have made their way into our language and culture and how have they helped us with our own traditions?...

So many Superheros in a world without a myth...or wait, maybe not. How do todays Superheros fit within Joseph Campbell's convergent understanding of myth. We explore the split in the human soul with the rise of reason and rationality and shed light on how we live in a time of a new emergent myth. redhawkthedeepend@gmail.om

There is a method to our madness... the "monkey mind" is more than our internal awareness jumping all around; it show us a pattern in the nature of human consciousness and how what goes on in our souls shows us who we are by revealing a pattern of thinking that is as ancient as the oldest myths. redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

What are you reaching for? ...and why, to what end? ...and from what/who? "One's reach must exceed their grasp or what's a heaven for." (Browning) redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

Is peace on earth possible? Can you imagine an earth at peace? What gets in the way of our being at peace with ourselves and with each other? Redhawk, Bob and Mary Anne open up about their visions of peace and what they find as impediments to this Peace. redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

Three processes - Semi-permiability, Differentiation & Complexification - interact giving rise higher orders of existence from Being, to Life, to Consciousness. What are these processes? How do they interact and is there no end to the countless iterations that they produce?

What is empathy? What role does it play in our lives and why is it important? Redhawk, Mary Anne and Bob open up about how integral this semi-permiability of life is for our everyday living and for evolution itself. redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

Life as Dance is a great way to move through the many layers of wonder and mystery. Dancing the Sacred life is what most of us really want. How can we best orient ourselves so that everyday is a new dance of wonder, of truth, love and justice? Redhawkthedeekend@gmail.com

Redhawk and his co-hosts, Mary Anne and Bob, got to the Deep End from different paths. Is everyONE destined to be a "deep ender" or do we find our meaning in different things and paths? From The Bible to the many Hindu texts in the east we learn that from Eat, Drink and be Merry to power and money to dying on the cross... all are ways of finding meaning for different folks, and place it within the...

What is beyond compromise and how do we identify it? We explore the deeper pattern that reveals itself in scripture, in psychology, in sociology and in science. What is this "pattern"? How can all of us begin to not just see it but participate fully in it. redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

Spirituality and Religion are two words that are difficult to define... unless, you go back to their original meanings. What are those meanings? How is it that spiritualityreligion are two sides of a single coin and we keep separating them? redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

The Bible is a conumdrum. If read as a whole what is it saying? What is the plot? What is it really saying from front to back. Redhawk says that all interpretations and theologies are at best, best guesses. In this podcast we explore the overall meaning and the end game of the bible as a whole, especially as it fits into the metaphysic that Redhawk has developed.

War has been with us since the beginning. Armed conflict is part of Taoism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Many think there is no way to escape this part of our human nature. Yet, if we don't escape it we will self-destruct. War... what is it good for! redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

Food, Sex and... Curiosity. Curiosity arousal is not often addressed yet it is precisely this that has been the growing edge of humankind. What is this "DRIVE" that pushes us into new realities, new technologies, new ways of understanding ourselves as a human people? redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

"Everything's changed but the way we think." (Einstein) Yet, we seemed to be trapped in a way of thinking that has it's roots in the past. Complexity, Power, Slow Creep, Global Economics and continual radical change have created a new world that is reaching for a new way to think. How can we be part of this change of thinking when the new way of thinking is still unthinkable?

To be connected to the Great Mother is to be connected to the mystery of being. Today we live in a world of artificial mediation, where the great architectural feats are no longer temples but financial institutions. We have become bereft of meaning and rootedness and relocated ourselves in an artificial environment and given power to institutions with divine claims. What next?

Life is change, yet today there seems to be so much change that it is difficult to face it all much less tend to it. How can we talk about the many dimensions of change that are demanding our attention, demanding a way to accommodate them? redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

Belief and knowledge seems to be dancing at the growing edge of my faith journey. How can I attend these inner movements in a conscious way? We revisit "faith" and see that it is, perhaps, the backdrop of change and the context of meaning that defines how we orient ourselves in this great Sea of mystery. redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

What is Reality? is the question that is at the root of The Deep End. It is the question that gave birth to The Deep End. Join Mary Anne, Bob and Redhawk as they seek to peel back the many layers and dimension that are integral to our uncovering more of this mystery of being.
