Ep. 16 | Kateryna Yasko and Vytautas Bučiūnas crossed the border into Lithuania three days before this conversation took place, after a five-day exodus from Kyiv, following the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. This conversation is a call for action and support of the incredibly brave Ukrainian people, and illuminates their willingness to fight to the death to throw out the invaders who are there to crush their freedom and make Ukraine a colony of Putin’s Russia. This is an informative, inspirational, and heartbreaking dialogue with two exceptionally insightful Integral leaders from the Ukraine—about propaganda and myth-making in our post-truth world, about integrating power, force, and love, about a new worldwide unity, and how the Integral perspective might pave the way towards world peace. Recorded March 5, 2022.“One nation has opened the hearts of the whole world.

Ep. 8 | An extraordinary, heartfelt conversation with spiritual practitioner, teacher, activist, Integralist, and author Terry Patten, who was at the time facing his own mortality following a recent diagnosis of a rare and aggressive cancer. An inner radiance shines forth as Terry, with much graciousness and candor, discusses the call to “get real”—not only personally but also collectively; his deepened perception of the “amazing grace of existence;” the directionality that has guided much of his life; and action inquiry: working on becoming next-stage human beings by experimenting with being the best people we can be. A touching and transformative talk, Terry conveys the deepening understanding coming from living on the edge and transmits a “radical okayness” with everything. Recorded September 21, 2021.Terry Patten was a philosopher-activist, author, teacher and coach, community organizer, consultant, and social entrepreneur. Most recently Terry published A New Republic of the Heart: An Ethos for Revolutionaries—a book summarizing his life’s work and offering an approach to facing the problems of our time. Over the last fifteen years, Terry devoted his efforts to the evolution of consciousness: facing, examining, and healing our global crisis through the marriage of spirit and activism. Terry co-wrote the book Integral Life Practice with Ken Wilber and a core team at the Integral Institute in 2008.“I want us to recognize our tremendously strong impulse to draw a conclusion, to think we know. But it’s in the NOT knowing—the inquiry, the curiosity, the humility, the beginner’s mind—that we create a real opening.”Topics & Time StampsThe call to “get real,” personally and collectively; waking up to the miracle of existence (04:17)With the diagnosis, the burden fell away (21:44)Mortality versus morbidity: many sufferings are worse than death (31:02)The directionality that guided Terry’s life and wanting to be “good” (41:11)Encountering his root guru, Adi Da (44:50)The importance of being kind (46:54)Let’s bend a knee to something greater than ourselves and LISTEN (53:43)The radical okayness of it all (55:52)Action inquiry and evolving into a new stage of human development (56:27)Resources & ReferencesTerry Patten, A New Republic of the Heart: An Ethos for Revolutionaries*The nonprofit organization A New Republic of the Heart invites spiritual practitioners and change agents to learn, practice, and collaborate in becoming the next-stage human beings who can rise to our collective moment.Terry Patten.comRumi, “The Beloved,” The Way of the Sufi*Stephen Jenkinson, Die Wise*Adi Da, American spiritual teacherAldous Huxley, “Try to be a little kinder.”His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Compassion and the IndividualJoanna Macy, The Great Turning or the Great Unraveling: It’s Our ChoiceBrightening Every Darkness, 4-part webinar offered in the last weeks of Terry’s life, with Terry, Diane Hamilton, Indra Adnan, and Craig Hamilton* As an Amazon Associate, Deep Transformation earns from qualifying purchases.Podcast produced by Vanessa SantosShow Notes by Heidi Mitchell
