Suicidal Empathy

and

and

“Suicidal empathy” has become a popular diagnosis of progressive excess: the idea that compassion can become so indiscriminate that it undermines the very people, institutions, and cultures it hopes to protect. In this episode, integral psychologist Dr. Keith Witt and Corey deVos take that critique seriously without accepting the Manichaean worldview often wrapped around it.

The Varieties of Integral Spiritual Experience

and

and

Ken Wilber and Corey deVos explore the full territory of experience that spiritual practice actually opens — gross, subtle, causal, witness, non-dual states of consciousness — and the distinct kinds of mystical union available in each. Along the way: why every society polices which states of awareness are permitted, why the subtle realm remains the one region of the map nobody has fully charted, and what evil is once you stop personifying it.

What AI Is Asking Of Us

and

and

Robert McNaughton is an engineer by training who went to Naropa for music and contemplative psychology, and has followed AI for more than twenty years from two seats at once — cognitive science and contemplative practice. He and Keith Martin-Smith work through what right relationship with a technology nobody designed actually asks of us: the risks worth naming precisely, the ones we invent when we are frightened, and the human capacities that just became the scarce resource.

The Many Ways We Grow

and

and

Ken Wilber and Corey deVos offer a guided tour through the many kinds of growing up, helping us understand development not as a single ladder we ascend over time, but as an entire psychograph of different intelligences, capacities, and gifts. Whereas most developmental models focus on a single line unfolding through multiple stages, integral accounts for all of these different lines — cognitive, morals, needs, values, and a dozen others, each growing at their own pace.

The Two Moral Minds

and

and

Integral psychologist Dr. Keith Witt and Corey deVos explore the moral operating systems running underneath every judgment you make — the reflexive system you were born with, the discriminative system almost no one uses, and the eighty thousand years it took for moral authority to move from the tribe, to the temple, to the inner chambers of your own heart.

Holons: The Building Blocks of the Universe

A fun, fascinating, and far-reaching exploration of one of the essential cornerstones of integral theory — holons, or the apparently endless series of “part/wholes” that fundamentally compose reality as we know it. Accompanied by music, imagery, and animation, this presentation will not only help you better understand what a holon actually is (and what it isn’t!) but also how this understanding can radically deepen your appreciation for the natural world.

The Polarity Lens

Using Everything Everywhere All at Once as our guide, Mark Allan Kaplan shows how the greatest films don’t simply depict conflict — they consciously hold their opposites, and weave them into something whole. You’ll trace Evelyn’s journey from nihilism to radical kindness, watch the everything-bagel meet its opposite in a single googly eye, and discover why “because nothing matters, I can choose to be kind” might be the most integral line in modern cinema.
