Accidental Gods

Another World is still Possible. The old system was never fit for purpose and now it has gone- and it"s never coming back. We have the power of gods to destroy our home. But we also have the chance to become something we cannot yet imagine, and by doing so, lay the foundations for a future we would be proud to leave to the generations yet unborn. What happens if we commit to a world based on generative values: compassion, courage, integrity? What happens if we let go of the race for

Dreams of Divinity: Rabbi Jill Hammer on mysticism...

Accidental Gods ·

2020/03/11

Rabbi Jill Hammer is committed to an earth based and a wildly mythic view of the world in which nature, ritual and story connect us to the body of the cosmos and to ourselves. In this conversation, we dive deep into the meaning of life, the role of dreams in a spiritual life and how we might find hope in the face of climate breakdown. Jill is an author, midrashist, mystic, poet, essayist and Hebrew Priestess. Director of spiritual education at the academy of Jewish Religion in New York

If, as philosopher, Green party activist, University Professor and XR activist, Rupert Read is right, our civilisation is finished. We'll either collapse, or transform to the point of being unrecognisable. So... this being the case, what can we do? Rupert Read is one of our generation's greatest, and deepest green thinkers. Join us in this discussion of how we can move forward. Rupert Read is convinced that societal collapse is inevitable - and near. And that this is White Swan effect

If we can open our eyes and look in the mirror of the world, we can open ourselves to the InterBeing that allows Active Hope as we face the chaos of our world. In this interview, Della Duncan, Renegade economist, host of the Upstream podcast, and practitioner of Joanna Macy's Work that Reconnects, explores the ways to a sustainable and equitable future. Podcaster, economist, and spiritual activist, Della Duncan is deeply integrated in the movement for human and planetary change. In this

Feelings: How to shape the ones we want

Accidental Gods ·

2020/02/19

For most of us, falling in love with the absolute wonder of being alive is a distant dream. Nonetheless, changing how we feel is the goal of most self-help courses, a great deal of therapy and most of the routes that lead to alcohol and drug abuse.Suppose we could do it intelligently, with a generosity-of-spirit that allows us really to fall in love with the act of living. So that each moment of life becomes a wonder, however it is lived?In this final podcast of series 1, we take a look

Emerging from Complexity: how we become the change we...

Accidental Gods ·

2020/02/12

Emergence from Complex Systems is a thing. And the thing about it is, that there are only two options when a system reaches maximal complexity: collapse to chaos and extinction OR emergence to a new phase. We prefer the second option, so this is a look at complexity - and at the levers of change in any system. Complexity is all around us - in fact if we're looking for a distinction between complicatED things as opposed to comPLEX things, then it's that people make things complicated (but

Hacking our Habits:Letting go of the old stuff, to...

2020/02/05

What would our lives look like if we knew how to become the best of ourselves? If we could hack our way into a sense of authenticity that allowed us to live with integrity? Let’s find out…. As is clear by now, if large numbers of us are going to find a way to move towards conscious evolution, then we have to solve the problem of how ordinary, time-poor, stressed out people in a world hurtling towards chaos and calamity, can find the time, space and bandwidth actually to become the change

Changing our Minds: Mind hacks to shape our habits...

Accidental Gods ·

2020/01/29

Why are some habits easy to form (immoral, illegal or bad for your health, as my dad used to say) - but the ones we actually want, are far harder to set up? 'Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny' - Lao Tsu mapped the progress from habits of thought (and we would add habits of feeing) towards the truth of what we become. In this week's podcast, we take a deep dive into the neuroscience of habits: how they form and how we can set ourselves up for maximal success with the ones

The Route to Heart Coherence with Manda Scott (part 3)

Accidental Gods ·

2020/01/22

How do you create heart coherence and inner resilience? This episode of the podcast explores the ways we can balance head-mind and heart-mind to create the kinds of inner equanimity that allow us to flourish, whatever the outer world throws at us.If we’re going to reach conscious evolution, we need to be able to stand in balance in the world – a key part of which is that we learn how to open the routes from head to mind to heart so that we can begin to feel what we choose to feel – rather

Growing into Coherence: How to build focus & intent...

Accidental Gods ·

2020/01/15

In this episode, we look more closely at HOW to grow into coherence.There are four obvious types of meditation, mindfulness, contemplation – whatever you want to call it– and we explore how these four types form the foundation of this work. All of them help us to build our focused attention into intention.As we’ve said already, the key to successful practice – to building enduring habits – is to evoke a background affective texture (that is, a feeling) that is intimately woven with the

Growing into Coherence: What it means and why we need...

Accidental Gods ·

2020/01/08

Of the four steps to conscious evolution and the paradigm shift that we need, this is the one that most people have explored at some point. This is the place where we shift our brain patterns from beta pattens to theta, delta or – rarely so far, but I think it’ll become more frequent – gamma. This is where we make the most of the fact that what fires together wires together so that we can begin to have more control over what we think and what we feel, so that in the end, we can reshape

(Re) Awakening into Connection with the Web of Life

Accidental Gods ·

2020/01/01

Re-Awakening into Connection is the core of what Accidental Gods is about – the return of our heritage, our birthright, our ability to live in context with the web of life. It’s not long in evolutionary terms, since we were a part of the living world, able to ask questions, and answer the questions that were asked of us. Now, as we stand on the cusp either of catastrophe or extraordinary change, we need to regain that capacity: we need to re-awaken our innate abilities so that we can take

Conscious Evolution: ReWilding Humanity's Soul

Accidental Gods ·

2019/12/24

Conscious evolution could be our next evolutionary step - a radical shift in what it means to be human. In this episode we outline the steps that we believe could lead us on the path to a co-creation of a new future for humanity. We are the accidental gods - all of us - we are the generational era that stands on the brink of species level extinction. For the first time in the history of evolution on this planet, one member of one species could conceivably wipe us all out. We didn't plan
