The Deep End

Redhawk's grandson, Beau, joins the team for a look at the deep end of a six year old. A true joy to be in conversation with a young ONE! Blessings

What is the Spirit of Our Time (Zeitgeist)? How can we take what is best from these conflicting times and make a future that is better? Blessings

What is an idea? Is the universe made up of ideas or matter or both? Do we have ideas or do ideas have us? Is an idea a living force? How can ideas change us and to what end? Whew... so many ideas about ideas. Be well.. wonder deep.

We look at Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson's book "Abundance". We look at how we choose between a story of scarcity or abundance and how a new vision of abundance is emerging from the democrats. The authors, both liberals, critique liberalism in a constructive way and enable us to join the revisionist of America. Blessings

Are we in the middle of a perfect storm for evil? What is evil and how is our recognizing it helpful? Can there ever be a positive prognosis without a proper diagnosis? Welcome to America 21st century... growing an evil fascist society for a divided future! Big SIGH! and blessings!

What is the story that America needs now? How can we even talk about a narrative that is positive and inclusive? Redhawk asks AI (Chatgtp) "what is the narrative that America needs now?" AI starts with a poem and than lays out what the elements that will be necessary in any story or necessary. What a pickle we are in.

In my journey into the deep end of America, Carmela Conroy, candidate for the 5 District of US Congress joins me to discuss what the deep end looks like to her. How can we reconnect with this deeper part of our nature as a people?

What are the deeper aspects of who we are as a people called America? How do we talk about those deeper features of America? Join us as we wrestle with our soul of America. Love to hear from you. Redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

Civilization is a marvel. It is easy to take it for granted. Yet when we look around it is everywhere from transportation to banking to buying groceries to flipping a light switch! Today we seek to celebrate civilization, with all its bumps and bruises. Take a moment and join the marvel! Blessings

Ben Stuckhart joins us at the The Deep End to help us see a protest up close and personal. Why do we protest? Does ever help? What can we do now? We are all in this together. Blessings

Where does America find its joy? We are in deep doodoo as a country and it is important for us to find those places of joy that we might re-energize and dive back into what needs tending. Where do you find joy?

Redhawk and his cohorts, Mary Anne Ruddis and Bob Hays, share the guiding lights of their spiritualities and how they play into their lives. Getting a little personal! Blessings

How can we do nothing and accomplish everything? Wu Wei means "do nothing" yet it means even more, it means "creative quietude". How does the Tao play into this and how can we live this spiritually? What a delightful romp. Blessings

Is there enough for the human family? Enough of what? We look at our basic human needs and discuss how we can facilitate the better distribution of our responses to our needs. We are a family! Blessings

Journaling was a gateway into myself. It is a method to see a soul up close. It is a way to befriend unknown parts of OneSelf. We go to the deep end of what journaling can uncover and explore how it can be a saving grace in one's life. Blessings

An Easter Message: What is The Way? According to the Gospel of John, The Way is simply "dying and rising". But, what does that mean? We are each doing this all the time, so how can we consciously participate in this continually ongoing process? Be well... wonder deep....

Duality has been around as long as day and night... and that was just the beginning. We are couched within dualities within dualities. Where do they all come from and how can our understanding of them help us find more wholeness in our personal lives and in the world? Be well... Wonder deep....

We are in the midst of multiple paradigm shifts at the same time. We are all products of previous paradigm shifts from Copernicus to the Industrial Revolution to steel. And then there is the huge resistance rising up against the paradigm shifts. How can we adapt to all these changes and exercise compassion for those who resist these changes? Blessings

The universe has gotten crazier and crazier through the 20th century. The cosmos used to look like a giant machine, like a clock... now the universe is looking more and more like a giant thought. We now live in a world of multiverses, a time where all time exists simultaneously and where we are sending messages to ourselves from the future. WHAT? Love to hear your thoughts... redhawkthedeepend@gma...

There are many flavors of spirituality. Redhawk reveals his own flavor: Contemplative Spirituality. What is contemplation? How can we be awash in our own ocean of associations and see its utility in our lives? Blessings!

What is belief? What is belief in God? What is beyond belief? How do we allow our experience to inform and/or get rid of unhelpful beliefs? For those of us where God is not a noun but a verb the process might be cooked in to our lives. Be well... wonder deep!

What is Justice? Where did it come from? Why is it important? How can we see Justice as a heart-seed within the human soul? Is Justice the leading edge of human evolution? Justice: can't live without it. Blessings

What are the "shields" that protect us as a people? How are they fraying and cracking today? How is thinking about ourselves as keepers of the shields helpful and spiritual? Love to hear from you. Redhawkthedeepend@gmail.com

We are all awash in our own projections. What is a projection? Are they good or bad? Is there any way to overcome our projection? Do we only see the world as we are and not as the world is? This is some heavy spiritual work. Whew! Blessings.

The big question in metaphysics is "Why Anything at All?". This is the deepest of questions for human beings and for the universe. Mystics, scientists and philosophers have been entertaining this question for thousands of years. We delight in the dance of unanswerable questions! Blessings
