The Deep End

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

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
