2023/05/30

For leadership authority Robert "Bob" Dunham, there's a fundmantal difference between machines -- even complex computers that mimic logical thinking -- and humans. Before we even begin to talk about effective leadership, Dunham says, we need to get clear on this difference. The capacity of “caring,” Dunham says, is the fundamental aspect of what it means to be human. "What's fundamental to being human is we are creatures that care. And so it's not only for leaders, it's for all of us as human

African cosmologist, independent scholar and multimedia artist Marques Redd discusses African spirituality, the legacy of Egypt, and the tradition of the gatekeepers.

Archiving the Impossible

Within the halls of academia, the exploration of paranormal activity is for the most part off-limits to serious scientific inquiry. There are a variety of reasons for this, says religious scholar Jeffrey J. Kripal: the rise of behaviorism; the belief that the brain is in essence a biological computer; and the concurrent belief in physicalism - that there is nothing over and above the physical dimension of life. Kripal here explains why he’s devoted his professional life to taking this phenomenon

When Spiritual Practice Gets Messy

2022/01/28

Author, teacher and coach Raphael Cushnir learned from hard experience that the results of spiritual practice aren't always warm and fuzzy or particularly pleasurable. In his case, they included kriyas, or very intense involuntary movements, sometimes accompanied by rapid breathing and non-nonsensical speech. These were challenging enough to handle in private, but were especially problematic when occuring in public, such as in a meeting with colleagues. Cushnir, the author of six books and a leading

Inner Work and the Path of Leadership

The podcast of the Sacred Inclusion Network ·

2021/12/24

For Robert "Bob" Dunham, the art of effective leadership is as much as inner game as an outer one. It begins, he says, with the leader identifying what h/she cares about, what h/she'll will do to respond to that caring, and then engaging with others about shared meaning. When beginning his work with prospective leaders, Dunham often begins by asking them to define what they care about, a question which many find perplexing. Many can only answer it in simple terms, for example citing their need to

A New Look at American Spirituality

Although the US is nominally a secular state, the majority of its citizens think of themselves as spiritual. That's one of the central findings of a recent major study of spirituality in the United States. "About three quarters of the respondents said that spirituality is either very important to them, or somewhat important," said Bob Boisture, the president and CEO of the Fetzer Institute, which sponsored the 2020 report, What Does Spirituality Mean to Us.

The Mystic, the Psychic, the Paranormal

2020/10/27

Jeffry J. Kripal is a bit of an iconoclast when it comes to the study of religion. He's more interested in anomalist phenomena -- the mystic, the psychic, the paranormal -- than he is in things like religious history or the philosophy of religion. A professor and Associate Dean of Humanities at Rice University, Kripal began his publishing career in controversy. Some Hindu scholars took exception to his 1995 book, Kali's Child: in which he characterized Hindu saint Ramakrishna's mystical experiences
