What happens when we're faced with a reflection of ourselves? Gary and Oliver look at the challenges that we can face when attempting authentic relationship. Can we see the good and bad of ourselves in the other and lean into it with an open heart or do we run away both from our Light and our Shadow?  Oliver Baum has worked with individuals, couples and groups as a Therapist and Spiritual Men...

The second episode sees Gary and Oliver discuss the role of Archetypes in Spirituality particularly in relation to Men's work. Have we got stuck in a narrow field of exploring the apparently more male archetypes of the Warrior and King at the expense of the Lover and Magician? And what about the myriad of other Archetypal figures and forces available to us?  Oliver Baum has worked with indivi...

The start of a journey discussing and exploring the current state of Men's Therapy and Spirituality. Have we got stuck in a model of Masculinity defined by the Human Potential Movement and Counter Culture of the '70's and '80's? Is the limit of Male therapy and Spirituality 4 Archetypes, a Bonfire and getting in touch with our Grr? Where are the Men? particularly since COV...

With Nicholas Rosseinsky A (Very!) Rough Guide to the Cosmos! With Oliver Baum & Nicholas Rosseinsky At least: this is how it currently seems to us! ... Ground-of-Being, One-Being, Souls Veils' tentative view begins at the most fundamental Reality-level. We see a Self-Sourcing Ground-of-Being, distinct from the True Self of Eastern non-dual traditions, but also very distinct from a puniti...

With Nicholas Rosseinsky This Universe can be a place for hiding out from GoB*. (Repeatedly, in successive Universe-incarnations/cycles.) Or, it can be a place for the kindest, most joy-full, re-awakening to GoB-relationship! Equivalently, there are two major versions of science , describing and enacting these 'two uses for a material Universe'! Mainstream Science is a Veil! Mainstream s...

With Nicholas Rosseinsky Previous Work: 'Sacred'/'Deep'/... Economy A lot of great work identifies alternatives to current economic theory/practice, as 'Sacred', 'Deep' etc. [As well as Butterworth, authors that Nicholas appreciates but 'spaced' in the Episode include Eisenstein and McKibben.] We use ' Divine Economy' here to point to som...

With Nicholas Rosseinsky Culture has many definitions: we discuss values/ethics, religion, and a non-contradictory patchwork of cultural components (art, morality, spirituality/religion, science). Ethical Systems What's right and wrong? What do these words mean - right/wrong for purpose , or morally good/bad? Is there an objective truth about moral action, or is it culturally-contingent? Are...

With Nicholas Rosseinsky This Episode is the second of three looking at Conditioning: we discuss the idea that Familial (E7), Societal (this Episode), and Cultural (E9) versions form a sort of interlinked trinity. Family vs Society Although there are some similarities, Society isn't quite the same as one big Family, in terms of conditioning.  For example, Society sets its own limits ( e.g. la...

With Nicholas Rosseinsky Well, this one's definitely an Episode of two halves! Part 1: Conditioning Occurring in the Family Setting We revisit the two-fold model of Glitch/Wound*, or AS/IF*+incarnation. Death, Guilt, Shame etc. deeply originate in psychospiritual territory, 'pre-dating' birth (and typically continuing until and even after death!). Then, fear-of-death, and guilt-and-...

With Nicholas Rosseinsky What are Life Statements and Limiting Beliefs? One model depicts Statements and Beliefs as a tree, with a trunk formed from one of two positions: 'I'm bad', or 'I'm worthless/not-good-enough'. Branches and twigs coming off this trunk are typically formed by ingesting and crystallizing some Family Beliefs, by self-directed creative cognitions,...

With Nicholas Rosseinsky Primal Wound - Definition The Primal Wound is essentially early-life trauma that severs the connection to 'Self' - who we are in real-Reality*! In later life, as well as self -alienation, we can feel disconnected and act disconnected from other humans, from Nature, and from the Ground-of-Being itself. The Glitch/Wound Controversy The Primal-Wound hypothesis has s...

A Tumultuous Romp through Gender in Spiritual Life, with Oliver Baum and Nicholas Rosseinsky Starting in the 'Beyond'! The crucial starting point for our tour: the Ground-of-Being* and the One-Being * (True Self, Buddha Nature, Christ Consciousness) are neither masculine nor feminine ! This level of Reality is genderless, or as Oliver likes to call it, 'isogenous'. Psychospirit...

A New Take on Duality and Non-Separation with Oliver Baum and Nicholas Rosseinsky What are Duality and Non-Separation? We start by kicking around various definitions of duality and non-separation. For those who aren't into psycho-spirituality, these terms - depending how you define them! - are used to point to the experience, condition, or reality-setting, in which awakened/enlightened beings...

A Fresh Look at Ego and Ego Processes, with Oliver Baum and Nicholas Rosseinsky The Importance of 'Ego' Naturally, 'Ego' is not as important as Ego would have us believe! (Psycho-therapeutic in-joke!) By now though, even those who aren't therapeutically-expert or spiritually-inclined will have come across (or even made!) references to the 'egos' of loved ones, co...

With Nicholas Rosseinsky The Beginning: Who we are , What this is, and Where it's going! What is the 'Veils to the Soul' podcast? 'Veils to the Soul' invites you into a tapestry of conversations that Oliver and Nicholas began in 2020.  In subsequent weekly Episodes, we address (or at least to begin with!) a specific topic, and explore it relative to a definite but lightly-...
