We are concluding our series of conversations with Ismana Carney - a Jung-based Earth-centered shamanic therapist. In these talks, Ismana explores with us some basic and very important questions through the eyes of a person deeply connected to Nature, Jungian psychology and shamanic traditions.

From the website of Terra Lucida Institute: Ismana Carney’s work is grounded in Carl Jung’s approach to dream work, archetypal, and Nature psychology, and cultivating the soul via Earth-centered rituals and therapeutic shamanic practices. Ismana teaches college and university courses in comparative world religions with a special emphasis on the mystical traditions. For the past two decades Ismana has also been involved both professionally and personally with Native indigenous tribal communities and their cultural and spiritual traditions. Ismana is also an award-winning documentary filmmaker whose work focuses on Native American cultural and spiritual life.

In today’s episode:

  • Living in a relation with nature
    • Everything is alive
  • Men’s and Women’s paths
  • Maturity
    • What is a Mature Woman? Man?

The year 2009 has been a very productive and insightful year for us. We have released more conversations with wonderful guests such as Gabrielle Roth, Paul Kordis, Antero Alli, Paul Rebillot, and Richard Roberts, as well as our own talks on change, patterns, learning and more.

This year also marked a transition for us at the Radical Change Group from relatively short and independent talks - to creating longer and more in-depth series of podcasts dedicated to broader topics. The first of such series - the “Body of Wisdom” has ended this year with our distillation of generalized principles from body-based disciplines such as martial arts, dance, rituals, and more.

In the coming year 2010 we are going to continue the dive deeper into such series of podcasts, starting with a new series on Positive Deviants. We will also be releasing more talks with our guests, and are planning on expanding our library of online material beyond the single stream of podcasts.

With that, we are wishing you Merry Christmas, a very Happy New Year, and Happy Holidays! See you back in 2010!

    • Point of balance
    • Center and gravity in relationship - "marriage to gravity"
  • Applications of Center
    • Center in relationships - fluid center, shifting from one partner to the other depending on the context
    • Center in personal growth and rituals - connection to gravity, being grounded
    • Center in organizations - core competency
    • Size of the Center - what’s encompassed in the center
  • Exercises for the Center
    • Discovering your center - straight walk heel-to-toe (enhance - close your eyes)

  • Introductions & overarching structure
    • Principles, how they show in various somatic disciplines, and how we apply them in personal growth, relationships, and leadership / organizations.
  • Definitions
    • What is somatic
    • Distinctions of body, mind, spirit
    • Impulses
    • Somatic syntax
    • Center
    • Pre-verbal
    • Direct experience, embodiment
    • Propioception - sense of orienting yourself
    • Flow - saying "yes" to life, going with what is
    • Paradox, tension of the opposites
    • Presence - where my attention flows, and how I am held as an entity proper. "I am here".
    • Basics - foundational elements, the alphabets, the grammar
  • Why study somatics?
    • All changes start with the body
    • It all comes to emotions, which starts in the body. So, feeling our body is our basic need.
    • The myth of our life resides in our body
    • Being mindful and "bodyful" - paying attention not only to what you are paying attention, but also with what part of your body
    • Changes in the body as a way to heal, to release tentions
    • Focusing on the body leads to wholeness
    • In modern society, especially western, body is considered a shadow (sinful, shameful) compared to the mind. Mythologically though, the shadow often has the greatest potential and energy, and needs to be integrated in order to do any serious work.
  • Somatic disciplines covered
    • Dance (ballroom, 5Rhythms, contact improv)

In this episode, we are talking an important aspect of any transformation - accepting and letting go of the old, before embracing the new.

  • Why it is important
    • What we accumulate holds us back
    • Directionality - let go of what to move where? Changing the state of being
    • "Gods of one level are the demons of the next"
  • What keeps us stuck?
    • Delusions - and acceptance as a path
    • Emotions that keep us back, and forgiveness as a way out.
    • When you don’t see an alternative
  • Sequence of steps
    • Forgive the old before moving on - otherwise, you’ll keep being bound to the old
    • Denial, anger, sadness, acceptance (same sequence as for trauma)
    • If you don’t let go of the old, it will haunt you
    • Accepting, forgiving (if appropriate), finding an honorable closure, then moving on through a "rite of passage"
  • Closing remarks
    • Don’t confuse forgiveness & acceptance with forgetting
    • Hardest to accept & forgive yourself

Paul Kordis We are continuing our Swimming with Dolphins series of conversations with Dr. Paul Kordis. Check back to the previous episode (#93) of the series, or start with the first episode (#52) , if you haven’t heard it yet.

Paul has been researching writing, and speaking to groups for over 20 years about the processes of profound change. He is a globally traveled speaker and seminar leader on futuristic, human development, change and other topics. He received his Ph.D. degree (with honors) in human capital and economic development from Colorado State University in May, 2008.

His 1,500-page dissertation is entitled “The Superhighway to Serfdom: How False-Social-Norms Marketing is Hijacking the American Dream.” He is a co-author (with Dudley Lynch) of the books The Strategy of the Dolphin: Scoring a Win in a Chaotic World, which has become a best seller, and Code of the Monarch: A Guide to the Real Global Business Revolution. He is also the author (with his wife, Susan) of the book Name Your Passion: A User’s Guide to Finding Your Personal Purpose.

Today’s conversation touches upon the following topics:

  • Choosing the change
    • At level 7, change becomes autogenic and conscious
  • Learning to learn
  • Solutions at one level are the problems of the next
    • Or, as Joseph Campbell put it, "Gods of one level are demons of the next"
  • Progress and Regress
    • Transitions may happen backwards, to the lower levels
    • Previous value systems are necessary for the higher ones to emerge

    • Learning NLP techniques - finding the bigger structure
    • Ballroom dancing - exploring the space of mistakes
    • Strategy to execution
  • What people remember?

The first thing, the last thing, and any strongly emotional moments in between Structuring learning in smaller chunks Segmented learning Constructing stories Examples of learning through stories Different kinds of learning Academic Experiential Games - making learning fun Closing remarks Making games on the fly Look for humor Learning as new ways to have fun #34;Mischief accomplished!#34; Accelerated,Learning,,Mind,/,Performance,,NLP,Modeling,,People,,Podcast,,RCG,All,,Radical,Change,Group,,Radical,NLP,,Series Radical Change Group, International clean No #85 Transformational Leadership - conversations with Paul Kordis, part 3 http://www.radicalchangegroup.com/2009/05/31/85-transformational-leadership-conversations-with-paul-kordis-part-3/ http://www.radicalchangegroup.com/2009/05/31/85-transformational-leadership-conversations-with-paul-kordis-part-3/#comments Sun, 31 May 2009 15:00:40 +0000 RCG http://www.radicalchangegroup.com/?p=1123

Paul Kordis Today, we are bringing you another series of conversations with Dr. Paul Kordis, this time on the transformational leadership. Paul has been researching writing, and speaking to groups for over 20 years about the processes of profound change. He is a globally traveled speaker and seminar leader on futuristic, human development, change and other topics. He received his Ph.D. degree (with honors) in human capital and economic development from Colorado State University in May, 2008.

He is also the author (with his wife, Susan) of the book Name Your Passion: A User’s Guide to Finding Your Personal Purpose.

Today’s conversation touches upon the following topics:

  • Dark and Light Side of Leadership
    • The two extremes, and the middle - the transactional nature of leadership.
  • The 3-legged stool
    • The Seat: Doing the right thing
    • The legs:
      • Do you want to do it? Motivation, intrinsic and extrinsic
      • Can you do it? (Skills, abilities, etc)
      • The Resources - that’s where the leadership really falls into (tangible, intangible, etc.)
    • The "Race Car Driver" model
  • Transformational Leadership
    • Considering the emotional and spiritual aspects of leadership, in addition to the transactional aspect.
    • Comes difficult in the business environments where the main idea is that the only purpose of business is profit. Yet when implemented, transformational leadership brings lots of profit.
    • Ethics
  • The Dark Side of Leadership
    • How it’s been ignored for too long, and what it cost us. A good leader should lead people to confront the dark side.

Richard Roberts

We are continuing our series of conversations with an author, a poet, a Tarot scholar and a mythologist Richard Roberts.

In the 1960s, Alan Watts presented Roberts with a letter of introduction to Joseph Campbell, which led to a 20-year mentorship with the famed scholar of mythology - a partnership which included collaborating in seminars and writing books, and which lasted through the remainder of Campbell’s life.

In his college days, Roberts had vowed never to write a novel until he had an idea no writer before him ever had. In a vision, he conceived of a book in which his characters would "go into" other literary classics and interact with the characters, all the while writing in the style of the original authors of those classics. Roberts regards the resulting book, The Wind & The Wizard, as his life’s masterwork.

  • MonoMyth as a path to individuation
  • Myths are psychic openings to individuation
    • For many academics myths at the time were nothing more than a bunch of fairy tales
    • For one who places self-knowledge above empirical knowledge, myths are psychic openings to the inner world and to the outer cosmos
    • Ouroboros symbol, ying-yang symbol
    • Joe pointed out that serpent was the God of Levant thousands of years before the creation of the Book of Genesis
  • Sophia and serpent
    • Creation of the World, Adam, and Serpent as an instructor
  • Joe’s mentorship for Richard’s evolution
  • Tarot book publication
    • Modern psychology confirms that the Tarot cards comprise an image comparable to that encountered in dreams of the path of initiation
  • Belly of the Whale
    • Morgan & Morgan press - a hoax publisher
    • Richard’s mother got sick
    • Getting stuck in New York airport
    • Joe tells Richard to "ride the tiger"
    • Court gives rights back to Richard
  • Idea for the Vernal Equinox Press
    • Publishing was expensive back then; Richard proposes the idea of his own publishing to Joe, he agrees
  • Story of Vernal Equinox Press
    • 1953 - Richard being grad student
    • Course "Myth and the Bible" - no courses like that anymore
    • Early vegetation gods (4000BC) would die and revive around Vernal Equinox, and it appears the Easter resurrection of Jesus follows this pattern. Therefore, synchronicity with Richard’s birthday of March 21.

Richard Roberts

We are continuing our series of conversations with an author, a poet, a Tarot scholar and a mythologist Richard Roberts.

In the 1960s, Alan Watts presented Roberts with a letter of introduction to Joseph Campbell, which led to a 20-year mentorship with the famed scholar of mythology - a partnership which included collaborating in seminars and writing books, and which lasted through the remainder of Campbell’s life.

In his college days, Roberts had vowed never to write a novel until he had an idea no writer before him ever had. In a vision, he conceived of a book in which his characters would "go into" other literary classics and interact with the characters, all the while writing in the style of the original authors of those classics. Roberts regards the resulting book, The Wind & The Wizard, as his life’s masterwork.

In this episode, Richard Roberts describes his meeting with Colin Wilson and his wife, talks about James Joyce’s Finnigan’s Wake, Sam Keen’s encounter sessions at Esalen, and his work on Tarot with Joseph Campbell.

  • Meeting Colin Wilson and corroborating Joe’s Writings
    • In 1967 Colin came to San Francisco on a lecture tour. Richard mentioned that "Outsider" caused him to give up teaching and become an outsider.
    • Richard then took Colin to a pub to discuss this - and had an instant rapport, just like with Joe before
    • Colin invited Richard to visit him in England
    • Colin’s two books from 70s on paranormal are probably best representations of the subject
    • Colin’s wife was interested in archaeology and mythology, she took Richard to the site of King Mark’s Castle, and other places
    • Richard took photos of these sites, and later showed them to Joe, who was overjoyed because he saw historical corroboration of the myths
  • Finnegan’s Wake as Death & Resurrection
    • Irish musical song on which Finnegan’s Wake is based
    • James Joyce’s version of the story - a dream of one man in one night, encapsulating the dreams of all men
    • Joe’s wife decided to do a dance version of Finnigan’s wake
  • Esalen Encounter Sessions with Sam Keen
  • Poem for Joe As Parsifal
    • Poem called "Chapel Perilous"
  • Tarot Revelations with Joseph & Richard
    • Arrangement of Major Archana
    • The 22 cards can be interpreted as Western Book of the Dead
    • Jung’s work on alchemy
  • Tarot Rebellion
    • Tarot and You (book)
    • Many people in tarot community charge money by simply referring to the books of interpretation
    • Richard had a "free association" method that conflicted with the traditional way
    • Film on Tarot interpretations

Richard Roberts

Today, we are starting a series of conversations with an author, a poet, a Tarot scholar and a mythologist Richard Roberts.

In the 1960s, Alan Watts presented Roberts with a letter of introduction to Joseph Campbell, which led to a 20-year mentorship with the famed scholar of mythology - a partnership which included collaborating in seminars and writing books, and which lasted through the remainder of Campbell’s life.

In a vision, he conceived of a book in which his characters would “go into” other literary classics and interact with the characters, all the while writing in the style of the original authors of those classics. Roberts regards the resulting book, The Wind & The Wizard, as his life’s masterwork.

In this episode, Richard Roberts describes how he came to meet Joseph Campbell and the related part of his life and work at the time.

  • Alan Watts and “the Hero with a 1000 faces”
    • Richard came to California in 1956 - always carrying J. Campbell’s book, even to the beach
    • Alan gave him a letter of introduction to J. Campbell
  • Meeting with the mentor Joseph Campbell
    • At the athletic club, running around the track
    • That evening Joseph’s wife was returning from a world’s tour of her dance version of “Finnigan’s Wake”
    • After running around the track, Richard and Joseph went to the bar, and after a few drinks became friends for life
    • “Waiting for the Goddess to unlock the waters”
  • Joe stays over and Henrich Zimmer is introduced
    • Richard lets Joseph stay in his apartment in San Francisco for his Bay Area trip. Joseph later ships two boxes of books by Henrich Zimmer on Indian art and civilization to Richard as a thank you gift. These books furthered Richard’s interest in gnosticism.
  • Joe and The Major Arcana Tarot
    • Joe was shown a deck of Tarot cards that he saw last time in 1940s at his friend’s Henrich Zimmer, who apparently was a Tarot scholar as well.
    • Richard was also given a deck of cards that were alchemical in nature.
    • They later began to correspond about arrangements of the Major Arcana
  • Gnostic Traditions, Jane Roberts & Nag Hamadi Library
    • In 1972 the book “Seth Speaks” came out (Jane Roberts).
    • Aug 11, 1971 - last session of Seth. Christ was not crusified - it was a conspiracy.
  • Laughing Jesus and Joe Campbell
    • “A Seth Reader” book by Richard
    • Joe read “A Seth Reader” and said, “I think this is how the Universe works”

Antero AlliWe are continuing the series of conversations with Antero Alli on an experiential medium called ParaTheatre. To have a better understanding of the context, and for the introduction of the speakers, please refer to the first talk in the series.

 

In this episode, we touch upon the following topics:

  • ParaTheatre - how to start
  • Qualities needed for this work
  • Flexibility of ego
    • Ego as a self-image. Fixed ego is an attempt to preserve this self-image. Flexible ego is the ability to be at home with both self-image and its opposite.
    • Polarization technique as a way to support flexible ego
    • Flexible ego is the same as a strong ego; as opposed to big ego.
  • On thinking before acting
  • Existing conditions
    • Dealing with things that come up
    • Antero’s example - escaing INTO reality, instead of away from it
  • Keeping a journal
  • Talking with our bodies
    • We are continually sending signals
    • Becoming more conscious of these signals, and allowing their expression without the constant need to evaluate the appropriateness of your actions, as you would in a typical social context
    • Exploration of unfamiliar; creativity
  • Codification project
  • (Not) Mythologizing Archetypes
  • No-form - nothing special
  • No-form "conversion" period
  • ParaTheatre from books
  • Finding a language
    • And how weird it may look for an uninitiated observer

In this episode, we touch upon the following topics:

  • Relationship to Space
    • The very first ritual - entering the room
    • Territorial instinct
    • Relationship to space and no-form
  • Verticality
    • Virtical vs. Horisontal attention
  • Asocial Intent
    • To avoid the burden of social considerations - approval, attraction, wanting to beat up someone, etc.
    • Not the same as anti-social (meaning "hostile"); instead, re-focused on relation to space around people
    • Allows for connection to "verticality"
    • Interaction with other people becomes from the place of offering, where one’s needs are already met by the connection to the vertical sources. The interactions become more authentic; you present yourself as you are, not as you want them to see you. You are not losing yourself in the other person. In contrast, most social interactions are based on meeting the needs, "what can I get from you", and very little vertical connection.
  • Feeling the body deeply
    • ParaTheatre as a medium for triggering visions
    • Feeling the body deeply to find the visions / images that are
  • Direct Experience
    • Choice of what to be true to
    • Ritual is not solving the conflict, but exposing the conflict, and interacting with it as the energy source for movement
  • The Force of Commitment
    • Your capacity for follow-through
    • Commitment always determines the quality of the result, in anything you do.
    • Increasing the force of commitment
    • Fear (of inadequacy) is where commitment is most required. Fear is the beginning stage of converting fears into commitments.
  • Integrity Point

]]>

Antero AlliToday we are starting another series of conversations with Antero Alli on an experiential medium called ParaTheatre.

Antero has been producing work in various mediums of theatre and
paratheatre since 1977 and, experimental video documents and feature
fiction films since 1993.

His paratheatre work is documented in his book, "Towards an Archeology
of the Soul" and in his videos "CRUX", "Archaic Community" and "Orphans of Delirium". Alli’s 2005 docufiction feature, "The Greater
Circulation", incoporates a paratheatre performance in a critically
acclaimed cinematic treatment of poet Rainer Maria Rilke’s "Requiem
for a Friend". His recent experimental feature, "The Invisible Forest" was inspired by the ideas of French Surrealist playwright/actor,
Antonin Artaud.

Twice a year, he facilitates paratheatre labs in Berkeley, California
with each lab having a focus on rituals based on specific themes, like
movements recalled from dreams, beginer’s mind, and others.

In this first episode, we touch upon the following topics:

  • What is ParaTheatre?
  • Reasons to do ParaTheatre
    • To get high, to get in a certain state of consciousness
    • Spiritual reasons, self-healing in a way. Experience communion with minimal interference of one’s beliefs, conceptions, ideas.
    • To stay honest to one’s impulses, get in touch with spontaneity, flexibility of ego
    • To induce visions: it’s a process of entering of feeling my body deeply; releasing energies that are trapped in my body, committing fully to the expression of those energies, and releasing images that have been trapped in the body with these energies.
    • Performance arts people enter because they’ve got into a rut of repetition, to let their talent take over
    • As a yoga: a physically intensive discipline with mind attention and intention and focus
    • Those who have outgrown the hedonic motivation, the need to get high, move to circuit 6 in a way
    • People who approach it more like a worship, more like a 7th circuit
  • What is a ritual?
  • Ritual as initiatic experience
    • Cultivate greater receptivity to the unknown
  • Ritual Process
  • Group Circle
    • Talk about what happened
    • Let off steam
    • Begin psychological intergation of pre- or post-verbal experiences

We’ve all heard the phrase - "being the catalyst of change or transformation." But have we really thought of the implications of this metaphor, and how often do we consider the alternatives?

  • Change - the process of becoming different (Wikipedia)
  • [Catalyst] is a substance that increases the rate of reaction without being consumed by the reaction (Wikipedia)
  • Enzymes are biomolecules that catalyze chemical reactions. As with all catalysts, enzymes are not consumed by the reactions they catalyze, nor do they alter the equilibrium of these reactions. However, enzymes do differ from most other catalysts by being much more specific. (Wikipedia)
  • Coenzymes are small organic molecules that transport chemical groups from one enzyme to another. […] Coenzymes are chemically changed as a consequence of enzyme action. (Wikipedia)

In this talk, we cover the following topics:

  • Why studying change is so crucial?
    • Either you live in a rut and eventually die, or live a full life. And to live a full life, you better study change.
    • You are always changing - whether you want it or not. The question is only, do you want to take the reins of your transformation into
      your own hands, or not?
    • "Change is the only constant" - and Deming added "you don’t have to change. Survival is optional."
    • It’s in the moments of change fortunes are made and lost;
    • It’s in the moments of change you either survive or die;
    • It’s in leading these changes that great shifts happen.
    • It’s knowing the waves of change enables you to ride with the change, if not lead it
    • Like in surfing, if you calibrate it right, you ride the wave. But if you misjudge it, you go underwater.
  • Kinds of change
    • Cyclical and Structural change
    • How do you know a priori what kind of change it is?
  • Catalyst and Enzyme
    • When leading change, what primary behavior you are demonstrating?
    • Are you putting yourself on the line and changing with it, or simply observing the change on the outside?
    • As in language - are you a verb or a noun (nominalization)?
  • Contexts for being enzyme or catalyst
    • When it’s appropriate to be one or the other; sequencing

Happy New Year 2009 to all of you!

As the founders of RCG, we have gone a long way, and sometimes,
looking back, it is hard to recognize the people we were just over two
years ago. And yet, as we look forward, we see that the journey has
but just begun.

In the coming year, we have a whole bunch of podcasts already lined up
for you as gifts from the Radical Change Group, and from the people
and practitioners who are working with us, and through us, in bringing
this to you.

The coming year will see some exciting topics that the three of us
cover - the original trio of the three friends.

In addition, we’ll be introducing some new conversations. Some
highlights of the topics include:

  • The talks on Shamanism with Ismana
  • On 5Rhythms dancing with the originator of the 5Rhythms Gabrielle Roth
  • Continuing our conversations on the strategy of the dolphin with Paul
    Kordis
  • Speaking about a form of theatre known as ParaTheatre with Antero Alli
  • Mythology with Paul Rebillot

And we’re going to have a new focus on a few other areas, such as the works of Buckminster Fuller that impacted us deeply, and the work of Joseph Campbell and Richard Roberts.

We are also going to have more regular blog posts on our webpage - please visit us, read it, and if you like it - share it with your friends, and help us spread the word.

Why are we doing it?

In the spirit of Positive Deviance, because some things need to be done - to cause both societal and personal change. The key questions that we ask are:

  • What if… Transformational teachings were given as gifts, rather than traded for money?
  • What if… You had access to iconoclasts and change makers on-demand, rather than at their limited availability?
  • What if… The conversations were spontaneous, open, and emergent, rather than scripted, dogmatic, and dry?
  • What if… Change was approached holistically, through the synthesis of many streams of thought?
  • What if… The project was based on a sense of contribution to a vibrant community of like minded individuals?

The Gift Economy

This is a whole notion that we have started with the RCG. We want to get involved - help us shape what is becoming a shared gift, a shared reality, and also for you to take charge and shape it in your own ways.

Currently, we have two more projects going:

For both of them, our goal is to restore these tapes and videos, digitize them for the modern media, and distribute it across the World for free. We need your help here, we need you get involved, in any way possible.

We also have a Listener’s Survey - please take a minute to fill it out, so we know what resonates with you and what doesn’t, and how we can improve this.

As the holiday season approaches here in the United States - as well as in many other parts of the World - we are pausing our regular stream of weekly podcasts for this period, and will resume again on the second Sunday of January, 2009 - that is on January 11th.

Over a year ago, we have launched the Radical Change Group with the the Gift Economy in mind, the idea that the Universe is a friendly and abundant place, and that the givers get, because what goes around, comes around.

In the last year, we have been working hard on bringing the talks and information as a gift to the world. Many amazing things have happened through that work, many doors have opened to us that we didn’t even know were there.

The focus of our podcasts have expanded to many fields like martial arts, mythology, adaptive intelligences (also known as Spiral Dynamics), the 8 circuit brain model, voice, dance, business, not to mention some advanced NLP topics. Many wonderful people have come and had great conversations with us - sensei Sastri, Paul Rebillot, Antero Alli, Paul Kordis, Marshall Thurber, David Neenan, Maniko, and Kathy Altman, to mention just those whose talks we have already released. We have learned a great deal ourselves in the process, and we hope you have enjoyed listening and learning with us as well.

In the next year, the year 2009, we are going to expand not only the range of topics, but also the range of projects we are involved in - and go well beyond the podcasts. We are starting this now with a new addition to our website - the Radical Projects section, where we’ve listed the first couple of projects we would like to announce at this time. Some of the gifts that we have received from the many people we’ve met this year were the recordings of various lectures and seminars of the great thinkers of the 20th century, that previously were not released or not widely available to the public. Two of these recordings we are going to restore, convert into the modern audio/video formats, and prepare for release to the world.

One is the audio recordings of Joseph Campbell - the renowned mythologist, together with Richard Roberts - a writer and a long-time friend of Joseph Campbell, who has produced and preserved these recordings - teaching what they called “The Third Model of the Universe” in a series of workshops in 1973-74 time period. These rare recordings have never been released to the public, and we hope that bringing these recording to life will help shed the light to what otherwise might have been lost to the world at large.

Another piece is the 20 hours of video recording of Buckminster Fuller - a true renaissance man, the Leonardo da Vinci of the 20th century - explaining everything he knew in a week-long meeting of late summer 1981, less than two years before his death. These recordings also have not been widely available to the public, and were preserved as a private collection of Marshall Thurber.

These and other projects, as well as our continuing stream of podcasts, will require much of our resources - both in terms of time and money - and if you have enjoyed the gifts of RCG in the last 16 months - this is your opportunity to join us in the spirit of the gift economy, and consider now giving us a gift of support for these and other projects. Please visit our website at RadicalChangeGroup.com and make a donation to support one or more of our Radical Projects, or volunteer to help us in any other way. We thank you for your continued participation as a listener, and appreciate any of your help - be it your feedback, spreading the word about our work, or supporting us with a donation. Thank you!

We are wishing you Merry Christmas and a happy New Year - Happy Holidays and see you again in 2009!

As the holiday season approaches here in the United States - as well as in many other parts of the World - we are pausing our regular stream of weekly podcasts for this period, and will resume again on the second Sunday of January, 2009 - that is on January 11th. Over a year ago, we have launched the Radical Change Group with the the Gift Economy in mind, the idea that the Universe is a friendly and abundant place, and that the givers get, because what goes around, comes around. In the last year, we have been working hard on bringing the talks and information as a gift to the world. Many amazing things have happened through that work, many doors have opened to us that we didnrsquo;t even know were there. The focus of our podcasts have expanded to many fields like martial arts, mythology, adaptive intelligences (also known as Spiral Dynamics), the 8 circuit brain model, voice, dance, business, not to mention some advanced NLP topics. Many wonderful people have come and had great conversations with us - sensei Sastri, Paul Rebillot, Antero Alli, Paul Kordis, Marshall Thurber, David Neenan, Maniko, and Kathy Altman, to mention just those whose talks we have already released. We have learned a great deal ourselves in the process, and we hope you have enjoyed listening and learning with us as well. In the next year, the year 2009, we are going to expand not only the range of topics, but also the range of projects we are involved in - and go well beyond the podcasts. We are starting this now with a new addition to our website - the Radical Projects section, where wersquo;ve listed the first couple of projects we would like to announce at this time. Some of the gifts that we have received from the many people wersquo;ve met this year were the recordings of various lectures and seminars of the great thinkers of the 20th century, that previously were not released or not widely available to the public. Two of these recordings we are going to restore, convert into the modern audio/video formats, and prepare for release to the world. One is the audio recordings of Joseph Campbell - the renowned mythologist, together with Richard Roberts - a writer and a long-time friend of Joseph Campbell, who has produced and preserved these recordings - teaching what they called ldquo;The Third Model of the Universerdquo; in a series of workshops in 1973-74 time period. These rare recordings have never been released to the public, and we hope that bringing these recording to life will help shed the light to what otherwise might have been lost to the world at large. Another piece is the 20 hours of video recording of Buckminster Fuller - a true renaissance man, the Leonardo da Vinci of the 20th century - explaining everything he knew in a week-long meeting of late summer 1981, less than two years before his death.

Paul KordisWe are continuing our conversations with Dr. Paul Kordis. Paul has been researching writing, and speaking to groups for over 20 years about the processes of profound change. He is a globally traveled speaker and seminar leader on futuristic, human development, change and other topics. He received his Ph.D. degree (with honors) in human capital and economic development from Colorado State University in May, 2008.

His 1,500-page dissertation is entitled “The Superhighway to Serfdom: How False-Social-Norms Marketing is Hijacking the American Dream.” He is a co-author (with Dudley Lynch) of the books The Strategy of the Dolphin: Scoring a Win in a Chaotic World, which has become a best seller, and Code of the Monarch: A Guide to the Real Global Business Revolution. He is also the author (with his wife, Susan) of the book Name Your Passion: A User’s Guide to Finding Your Personal Purpose.

Today’s conversation touches upon the following topics:

  • Wave 4 - relationships and inter-dependency
    • Wave 5 will be about spiritual and ethical
  • On "normal" distribution and the Gini coefficient
    • Mutation - punctuated evolution
    • Our society is far from "normal"
    • Changes the entire economics
  • Leveling the playfield
  • Revamping Economics
    • Rather than predicting, the economists should give us goals
    • Normal distribution of wealth could be one measure / goal
    • Cybernetic loop between me and the environment; continuous feedback-correction mechanism
    • Quality of the feedback
    • European Union is investing in the future by sacrificing something now. In the US, we are sacrificing the future to maintain (not even improve) our current level.

  • Key observation: in waves 1 & 2, change was slow, and we could adapt on the back of the wave. Wave 3 was faster, we had to adapt with the change. With wave 4, we may have to adapt before it happens.
  • Wave 4 technologies
    • Car battery - building the capacitor with a virus
    • Water filtration plant "Slingshot" - by the guy who built the Segway. Runs on methane, produces about mega-watt of energy, and produces enough fresh water for the entire village.
  • Betrayal of the technologies
    • They de-centralize power, hence less profit for the richest

    • We practice the whole wave to gain more balance

  • The Shadow side of the Rhythms
    • Flow - inertia, where we can’t get ourselves going
    • Staccato - tightness, rigidity of boundaries
    • Chaos - confusion
    • Lyrical - spacing out, instead of spacing in
    • Stillness - getting numb, instead of quieting
  • Rhythms in real life
    • Shadow sides are the extremes of the rhythms that define their true essense
    • You see this everywhere in life
    • Examples of famous people embodying various rhythms
  • Connections between people in dance
    • Connecting essence to essence, soul to soul. Very different from connecting on a personality level.

Network science is a new and emerging scientific discipline that examines the interconnections among diverse physical, informational, biological, cognitive, and social networks. This field of science seeks to discover common principles, algorithms and tools that govern network behavior. The National Research Council defines Network Science as "the organized knowledge of networks based on their study using the scientific method." (Wikipedia)

This introductory episode brings forth the following topics:

  • What is network science?
  • Structure of a network
    • Nodes, links, clusters, weak links, hubs
    • Examples of clusters and the power of the weak link
  • The power of the weak link
    • Making connections
    • Interested vs. Interesting
    • Having / making friends
    • Interviewing for a job
    • Finding your love
  • The Power Law
    • The "80-20 rule" (or "90-10 rule")
    • Examples - wealth distribution, biggest players in a market, etc.
    • Leveraging the power law
  • The first mover advantage

In this episode, we touch upon the following topics:

  • 5Rhythms as a spiritual discipline
    • Most people medicate (drink), rather than meditate
    • "I’m just a <qualifier>" - we are bigger than that
    • It takes great discipline to move with our emotions rather than freeze
  • Practices for embracing emotions
    • Recognize them as energy, not a static thing
    • Let it in, let it through, let it out
  • Fear of your own greatness
  • How can this practice help us understand our reason for living?
    • Learning to connect, despite of everything else. Err on the side of liveness, connection.
    • Can I dance in a group of complete originals, just like me?
    • Three types of relationships - to myself, to another, and to the community
  • Naming the rhythms
    • Flowing - a grounded way of moving without stopping. No manipulation; following the needs and desires of the body in motion.
    • Staccato - start to organize. Having a clear beginning, middle, and end to our movements. Finding natural physical boundaries. Moving with no force, but lots of power.
    • Chaos - mind, and its watery nature. It’s where the build-up starts to crash, and we cannot control the uncontrollable.
    • Lyrical - where things re-pattern themselves, bigger than we could have imagined. Let go of letting go, and see what remains. Discovering our own patterns, as opposed to the external patterns that shape us (as in Staccato).
    • Stillness - the "dessert" after the "meal". Being.

Change can mean:

  • The process of becoming different
  • The act or process of changing

(from Wikipedia)

In this episode, we discuss the following topics:

  • Examples of structural and cyclical changes
  • Defining cyclical and structural change
  • Why this distinction is important
    • One you can undo, and re-do again and again, the other - if you missed the boat, it’s gone.
    • In business, fortunes are made (and lost) on correctly (or incorrectly) predicting structural changes.
    • All structural change leaves behind damage
    • Russian revolution of 1917 - a structural change that was a step back (from the Adaptive Intelligences perspective)
    • American Revolution of 1776 - a structural change that is a step forward
    • Personal growth - will the change stick? From the perspective of the neurological levels - on the lower levels, change is often cyclical (behavior), but higher up (values, identity, spiritual) it is often structural and thus, permanent
  • Calibrating what change it is
    • Look for markers. In Business - where boundaries are dissolved or disrupted, it’s likely a structural change.
    • Relationships - same event can be either cyclical or structural, depending on the particular context, and with experience, you usually know pretty well which one is which in a particular relationship
    • Personal growth - first, by the neurological levels
  • Dealing with change
    • Business - missing the change vs. riding the change.
    • Relationships - being responsible for your actions and knowing where to stop
    • Personal growth - embrace the structural change, be aware and either stack up or eliminate cyclical change, depending on whether you like it not
  • Initiating change
    • how to choose the right type of change and how to do it in business, relationships, and personal growth

Kathy Altman We are begining our exploration of  5Rhythms - a moving meditation, a dance without steps; a practice introduced in the early 1970s by Gabrielle Roth. We invite you for an insightful conversation with a long-time 5Rhythms practitioner and an elder of the tradition, Kathy Altman.

As Co-Director of The Moving Center School, Kathy was the first person asked to help Gabrielle bring her work out into the world. Over the past 20 years Kathy’s teaching has brought thousands of people back to the joy of their own, original movement. Using dance as the medium, Kathy illuminates for her students “as on the dance floor, so in life”. She is devoted to inspiring people to live the teachings of presence, patience and practice long after the music ends.

In this episode, we touch upon the following topics:

  • Kathy’s story - how she met Gabrielle Roth and started 5Rhythms
  • What is 5Rhythms? Wave-like patterns.
    • Completely organic, nothing imposed. Practice of recognition.
    • Everything in nature moves in wave-like patterns. 5Rhythms is a map of wave-like patterns.
    • Whole life as a wave.
    • Fractal - wave inside a wave
  • Arman’s perspective
    • The goal of “normal” dance classes is to teach you how to move “right”
    • The goal of 5Rhythms class is exactly the opposite. You come with your own patterns, and the goal is to let them go.
  • A dance without steps
    • It’s a training of listening, not responding
    • Dementia and dance
    • 2 things help: crossword puzzles and dancing without steps
    • 5Rhythms for seniors
    • It’s not about how you are physically fit. It’s not about how you move, it’s whether you move.
  • Music in 5Rhythms
    • Music is a crutch, a seduction into the dance
    • This is a moving meditation practice, where the pillow is the music
    • Responding to music we don’t like - breaking away from the comfort zone
    • How can I respond to what is not comfortable?
  • Dance no matter what
    • No matter how bad I feel, can I dance that?

  • Biggest picture - the Universe (looking for patterns)
    • No straight lines in the Universe; either converging or diverging
    • Convergence on Earth - because of computers and the Internet
    • Network yields to the power, but ultimately gets rid of it
  • Business needs to be thinking in terms of convergence
    • Profit - filter of information
    • Primary scarcities - time and attention
    • Abundance - US is leading it
    • Converging, sharing, being part of a bigger pie, growing exponentially.
    • Information is going to be free. Sharing is having more - breaking from the paradigm of scarcity.
  • Dynamic Value
    • Value = Quality / Price
    • Pet rock - fad, because there was no opportunity cascade
    • Create value that people are willing to exchange for money; more valuable than the money they have.
    • Value will be more intangible.

Paul KordisWe are continuing our conversations with Dr. Paul Kordis. Paul has been researching writing, and speaking to groups for over 20 years about the processes of profound change. He is a globally traveled speaker and seminar leader on futuristic, human development, change and other topics. He received his Ph.D. degree (with honors) in human capital and economic development from Colorado State University in May, 2008.

His 1,500-page dissertation is entitled “The Superhighway to Serfdom: How False-Social-Norms Marketing is Hijacking the American Dream.” He is a co-author (with Dudley Lynch) of the books The Strategy of the Dolphin: Scoring a Win in a Chaotic World, which has become a best seller, and Code of the Monarch: A Guide to the Real Global Business Revolution. He is also the author (with his wife, Susan) of the book Name Your Passion: A User’s Guide to Finding Your Personal Purpose.

Today’s conversation touches upon the following topics:

  • Spheres of human influence
    • Individual behavior
    • Social & organizational
    • Political & Economic
    • Spiritual / philosophical / ethical
    • Political has built a wall from spiritual, so it cannot influence other spheres. Ideally, our decisions have to be based on the common ethics, which now becomes hard. Example: US foreign policy.
  • Spirituality is simple and practical
    • Leadership and organizational development
    • Know where you are, where you’re going, and how do you get there
    • US founding documents - we just forgot to follow the map
  • Natural generosity and good will
    • We’ve unlearned basic values
    • We need to expand our sphere of perception. Need to know the problem first.
    • Our brains are preoccupied with commercials and other noise
    • Expand our view of time. Learn history.
    • Expand our sphere of influence.
    • Expanding one’s perception without expanding one’s sphere of influence quickly follows by depression
  • Purpose and passion
    • Who do I want to become?
    • What are my core competencies?
    • Combining the two together, what opportunities present themselves for me to move forward?
    • Think future (or historically), act now. The axis of expanding perception runs both ways.
  • Globalization and localization
  • Understanding ourselves
    • Movie: Lars and the Real Girl
    • Transforming oneself while transforming something outside
    • Schizophrenia as a heroic journey
  • Concepts across disciplines
    • If you study any discipline deep enough, you come to the same conclusions
    • We adapt to systemic views

Paul KordisToday we are going to introduce you to Dr. Paul Kordis. Paul has been researching writing, and speaking to groups for over 20 years about the processes of profound change. He is a globally traveled speaker and seminar leader on futuristic, human development, change and other topics. He received his Ph.D. degree (with honors) in human capital and economic development from Colorado State University in May, 2008.

His 1,500-page dissertation is entitled “The Superhighway to Serfdom: How False-Social-Norms Marketing is Hijacking the American Dream.” He is a co-author (with Dudley Lynch) of the books The Strategy of the Dolphin: Scoring a Win in a Chaotic World, which has become a best seller, and Code of the Monarch: A Guide to the Real Global Business Revolution. He is also the author (with his wife, Susan) of the book Name Your Passion: A User’s Guide to Finding Your Personal Purpose.

Today’s conversation touches upon the following topics:

  • Spreading genes, memes, and phemes
    • Older and younger generations have been cut apart
  • On existence of evil in the world
    • Default mode is entropy; it requires effort to go on syntropic way
  • NLP
    • Looking for an edge over others
    • Direction of NLP: progression AND regression (standardization, certification)
    • Started out as modeling others. Presupposition - “I’m not good enough”.
    • Our approach - start out from my (individual) own uniqueness
  • Social Norm Marketing
    • Book “Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness” by Richard H. Thaler (Author), Cass R. Sunstein
    • Small changes - healthy food closer to the entrance of the cafeteria, organ donors by default (unless opted out), publish your neighbors’ energy use in the bill. “Social norms marketing”.
    • Binge drinking reduction through social norm marketing (how much do you drink & how much do you think others drink)
    • False social norm marketing - providing distractions to people, making them think their opinion is in minority, and voicing it is dangerous. Example: gay rights and abortions in religious rights. People are making decisions out of fear.
  • The “Little Bang” - Life.
    • Universe is entropic, but life is syntropic. See yodolphin.com for an article.
    • 3 axis: Entropy-Syntropy, Love-Fear (life-death), Isolation-Connectivity
    • The US in the last 40 years has been moving to entropy/fear/isolation. Not a good sign.
    • How one handles novelty determines other dimensions

We are continuing our conversation with David Neenan - the creator of the pioneering Archistruction(R) process for planning, designing, and managing building construction projects. As president of The Neenan Company, he has combined leading-edge information processing and design methods and innovative "people" approaches to reengineer how the construction process works from conception to completion. His company uses the Archistruction methods to design and costruct office, medical, retail, and light industrial buildings for clients throughout the Rocky Mountain region from offices in Fort Collins, Denver, and Colorado Springs. David is also a nationally recognized seminar leader, keynode speaker, business consultant, and the author of books such as "Evergreen" and "No Excuses: be the hero of your own life". He has produced his "Business & You" and other seminars in Colorado, Hawaii, California, Texas, Vermont, Taiwan, Sweden, Moscow, and Siberia. He and his wife, Sharon, live in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Topics covered in this episode:

  • Archistruction
    • Why only building buildings?
    • Casper - lost $670K while having $93K
  • It’s the mutants that make it
    • The learners will inherit the Earth (Marshall & taking the doors out)
  • How do you transcend the parts and include the whole
    • Transition to system 7
  • Family - applying same principles
    • The Nurture Assumption (book) - kids are more influenced by teenage peers, not by their parents
  • Finding a partner for life

Flow is the mental state of operation in which the person is fully immersed in what he or she is doing by a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity. Proposed by positive psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, the concept has been widely referenced across a variety of fields.
Colloquial terms for this or similar mental states include: to be on the ball, in the zone, or in the groove. (Wikipedia).

This episode covers the following topics:

  • What is flow?
    • Our experiences of flow for the first time
    • Arman - high school math team
    • Sergey - dance, since being a kid
    • M - flow is magic; martial arts - after a lot of training
  • What is the structure to your flow?
    • Self-modeling (as opposed to modeling someone else)
    • Common components:
      • Resonance
      • Time distortion
      • Elite performance
  • Building the capacity for holding the flow
  • How and when to apply the flow?

Paul Rebillot

We are continuing our conversations with our friend and teacher Paul Rebillot on the topic of the Healing Theatre - the combination of acting and drama, mythology, gestalt therapy, and rituals. For more information about Paul and his work, please visit his website - Direct Impact Creativity.

In this segment, Paul introduces us to his next original structure- the Lover’s Journey.

  • What is lover’s journey?
    • A state of being. If the Hero’s Journey is phallic, masculine, then the Lover’s Journey is erotic
  • Work a little with mother and father
    • “Parental possession meditation”: color parts for mother, father, your own
  • Sexual history
    • Healing the sexual wounds; what comes out is a positive same-sex image
  • The negative same-sex image of themselves or others
  • Negative opposite sex image (anima / animus possession)
  • Healing of the anima/animus possession - “the dance of transformation”
  • Marriage
    • Bringing together the four “people” - the four aspects of themselves
  • What is the result people get after the Lover’s Journey?

In this episode, we explain and give examples of the "neurological" SOM patterns, the second class of SOMs in our classification.

  • Neurological Levels and SOM
    • SOM at the level of intent - capture the fort and rule the territory
    • Any level higher than the level of the problem can solve the problem
  • Examples of using neurological levels - three examples of limiting beliefs and an application of the SOM pattern.
  • Exercises
  • Changing the frame size (level of detail): chunk up / chunk down
    • What it is, and three examples of SOM

From Wikipedia: Ultimately, Sleight of Mouth focuses on influence by challenging, and thus changing, beliefs. [...] in Sleight of Mouth the concept of belief is built on a more specific set of definitions, as follows:

  • Complex Equivalence: X=Y, or X is equivalent to Y
  • Cause-Effect: X causes Y, X results in Y

In this episode, we define the sleight of mouth patterns, introduce our own classification, and show the first group of these patterns - the "logical" SOM.

  • What are SOMs?
    • Verbal Aiki - Flowing, harmonizing
    • If meta-model is about getting information, SOM is utilizing and directionalizing it

We are continuing our conversations on the rhythms of rapport, and this time we address the somatic - or pre-verbal - aspects of rapport.

  • Focus on aspects of the body:
    • Breath
    • Eyes (brain states)
    • Overall body gestures and posture
    • Large group dynamics
    • Idiosyncracies
  • Areas:
    • Dancing
    • Business meetings
    • Martial arts
  • Name of the podcast: somatic or pre-verbal?
    • Somatic - anything related to the body
    • Pre-verbal - at the primary level, before the language kicks in. Circuits 1 and 2.
  • Eye accessing cues
    • Traditional NLP way - up, straigth, down
    • Spacial locations
    • Leading: shifting the locations, moving into different modalities
    • Dance (5Rhythms) - eyes "language"
  • Body proper
    • Tracking the impulses that move the body, and replicating that in yours
    • Martial arts (aiki jujutsu) - tracking body as a whole; breathing patterns as expressions; pacing - flowing with a punch, leading - becoming a center and taking control
    • Business meeting face to face - track tentions, match / mirror those, then lead to relaxation
    • People with schizophrenia - enter their world and change it from there
    • Rapport in dance
  • Large groups - rapport as a sense of belonging; track how space and time is treated
  • Idiosyncrasies - personal signatures, unique self-expressions

We are continuing a thread that we have started a long, long time ago on Rapport, reconsidering some of the aspects of rapport in a way that is not traditionally taught in NLP - by turning it from a nominalization into a process - a rhythm. Today we start by (re)defining the structure and dynamics of verbal rapport:

  • What is a rhythm?
    • Pattern
    • Resonance - as in physics (pendulum) and music (groove)
    • Deeply felt somatic phenomena
    • Matching and mismatching a rhythm
  • Tracking, pacing and leading
    • words (backtracking)
    • value words and predicates
    • intent
  • Using meta-model to build rapport - not to destroy it
    • Turning a “Meta-Monster” into a “Meta-Friend”
  • What to track
    • One on one - words, language patterns
    • Small groups - ocean of rapport, waves
    • Large groups - myths, group fears and hopes

Antero AlliWe are continuing our conversations with Antero Alli.

This series of conversations is on the topic called the 8 Circuit Brain model. It is something that Timothy Leary first brought into the western consciousness. Later, Robert Anton Wilson in his book Prometheus Rising gave it a more wide spread appeal, and Antero in his book AngelTech provided a more hands-on approach to the same model.

This conversation covers the following topics:

  • Timothy Leary, Robert Anton Wilson, and Antero Alli - comparing approaches
  • Language as a magical act - evoking experiences through the use of language
    • Writing of Robert Anton Wilson
  • Interactions of lower and upper circuits
    • 1 & 5: anchor / stabilize your survival needs before you can safely experience bliss, and experience it longer. Get high, but remember to pay rent and stuff the fridge.
    • Each upper circuit contains a specific shock to the system. The shock of circuit 5 is the shock of ecstasy. Circuit 6 - the shock of freedom.
    • 2 & 6: develop emotional connections before opening up circuit six. Vision without compassion is cruelty.
    • 3 & 7: the rational mind has a need to come up with new words and symbols to convey the experience of the shock of unity of the 7th circuit.

Later, Robert Anton Wilson in his book Prometheus Rising gave it a more wide spread appeal, and Antero in his book AngelTech provided a more hands-on approach to the same model.

This conversation covers the following topics:

  • Circuit 3: symbolic-conceptual intelligence
    • Signs of getting stuck in circuit 3: "parroting", quoting other sources, but not having it come from you. Stuck at absorbtion, without proper integration.
    • The aim of 3rd circuit is communication - real communication, making you think.
    • Being logical is not the same as thinking
  • Circuit 4: ability to get along with people
    • People are unpredictable, for the most part. Ability to live with this unpredictability
    • Confidence of C-4 is whether you are likable
    • The vehicle for C-4: the ego personality
    • Annoyance as an indicator of unfulfilled needs / points of growth
  • Circuit 5: somatic intelligence; somatic opening to present time, living in the present, opening to all 5 senses.
    • Like circuit 1, only with awareness. Getting high.
    • Various practices can do it (meditation, etc.). If you live long enough, it tends to open up eventually, like any other circuit.
    • Charisma: transmission of integrated circuit 5. Certain amount of performance on stage produces charisma.
  • Circuit 6:
    • The central nervous system becomes self-aware.
    • The energy body / double / aura
    • Chakras
  • Circuit 7: Mytho-poetic, genetic intelligence
    • This is where things become genuinely weird
    • Existing conditions that are shared among the immediate family members
  • Circuit 8: non-local
    • Out of body experiences, near-death experiences
    • Finding non-locality in your experience, beyond the confines of time and space
    • What Antero calls "Void"
    • Connections between circuits 1-5, 2-6, 3-7, 4-8

Ability to live with this unpredictability Confidence of C-4 is whether you are likable The vehicle for C-4: the ego personality Annoyance as an indicator of unfulfilled needs / points of growth Circuit 5: somatic intelligence; somatic opening to present time, living in the present, opening to all 5 senses. Like circuit 1, only with awareness. Getting high. Various practices can do it (meditation, etc.). If you live long enough, it tends to open up eventually, like any other circuit. Charisma: transmission of integrated circuit 5. Certain amount of performance on stage produces charisma. Circuit 6: The central nervous system becomes self-aware. The energy body / double / aura Chakras Circuit 7: Mytho-poetic, genetic intelligence This is where things become genuinely weird Existing conditions that are shared among the immediate family members Circuit 8: non-local Out of body experiences, near-death experiences Finding non-locality in your experience, beyond the confines of time and space What Antero calls #34;Void#34; Connections between circuits 1-5, 2-6, 3-7, 4-8 [techtags: 8 circuit brain, Timothy Leary, Robert Anton Wilson, Antero Alli, consciousness, imprint, response potential] 8,Circuit,Brain,,8,Circuit,Brain,Series,,Antero,Alli,,Being,/,Spirituality,,People,,Podcast,,Radical,Being,,Series Radical Change Group, International no No Announcement - Beta-Testers Needed for MasterMind Community http://www.radicalchangegroup.com/2008/05/22/announcement-beta-testers-needed-for-mastermind-community/ http://www.radicalchangegroup.com/2008/05/22/announcement-beta-testers-needed-for-mastermind-community/#comments Thu, 22 May 2008 15:00:07 +0000 RCG http://www.radicalchangegroup.com/blog/?p=125

Some time ago we have announced our intent to build an open-source collaboration platform, where people who are passionate about education, personal transformation and social change would gather together to collaborate around ideas and content.

Today, we are making our first big step towards that goal - building a MasterMind community of people who will begin such collaboration around ideas, and in particular, around the idea of how to build such an open-source platform.

At this point, we would like to invite 25 highly motivated individuals as beta-testers for the emerging MasterMind forum, to help us shape this community from its very roots, have a defining influence on what this group will become, and prepare it for the Grand Opening over the next few weeks. This is your chance for making your first significant contribution to the Radical Change Group community, to leave your legacy, earn the gratitude of many people to follow you into this community, and to work closely with us, the founders, on this wonderful and ambitious project.

If you feel the desire to join the beta-version of the group and help us shape its future, please contact us by filling out the form below.

Thank you, and we are looking forward to start working together with you!

Antero AlliToday we are starting an exciting new series of conversations with an author, a ritualist, a film maker, a dramatist, and astrologer, and a theater director Antero Alli. These series of conversations are near and dear both to our hearts, and to the work that Antero does.

Antero Alli was born in 1952 in Helsinki, Finland. He is an author of such books as AngelTech, Towards an Archeology of the Soul, Astrologic, the Vertical Oracle, and the Akashic Record Player. His deep background in theatre and paratheatre has resulted in numerous original performance works since 1977, and he’s currently the artistic director of ParaTheatrical ReSearch - a Berkeley based group of trained physical performers exploring asocial ritual dynamics. Since 1991 Antero has been writing, directing and producing his own films which include 6 feature functions, 3 paratheatre video documents, and about 20 short works.

This series of conversations is on the topic called the 8 Circuit Brain model. It is something that Timothy Leary first brought into the western consciousness, and later Robert Anton Wilson in his book Prometheus Rising gave it a more wide spread appeal. It was further developed by Antero in his book “Angel Tech”

This conversation covers the following topics:

  • History and introduction to the 8-circuit brain model
  • Absorb, Integrate, Transmit: Intelligence Increase
  • Embracing humility, flaws & paradox on the human journey
  • Circuit 1: Bio-Survival intelligence
  • Circuit 2: Emotional-Territorial intelligence
  • Direct experience
  • Meeting the needs of the second circuit

Paul Rebillot

We are continuing our conversations with Paul Rebillot on the topic of the Healing Theatre - the combination of acting and drama, mythology, gestalt therapy, and rituals. For more information about Paul and his work, please visit his website - Direct Impact Creativity.

In this segment, Paul touches upon some of the most important, most immediate, yet perhaps the deepest and most impactufl aspects of mythological and ritual transformations.

  • Knowing your true call, and the many places it can come from
    • Inside, outside, from God, and even from… behind
  • Levels of resistance (to the true call)
    • World around you
    • Yourself - the “demon of resistance”
    • The Supreme Ordeal
  • A Question of Life and Death (what happens if you refuse your call?)
    • “All of life is the rehearsal for the next moment”
    • Integration of the daemon (the fear) and the hero (the call)
  • Peeling off the Masks
    • Playing a role and forgetting myself, and how to return to my true self
    • Healing - learn to do nothing, and just be present.
  • Coming to closure
    • Your call - and other people
    • Owning the sense of self-responsibility.
    • Saving the World - one person at a time
  • The “Mini-Schizophrenic episode”
    • Original thought that shatters the old forms
  • The Loss of the Ritual
    • Transformation without structure is madness

We are delighted and honored to introduce you to one of our teacher’s Paul Rebillot, who has spent over 30 years of his life developing transformation through mythology, theatre, and ritual enactment. To his present work in personal growth he brings an actor’s confidence in the capacity of bodily gesture to reveal and to transform the point of view of the mind and the attitude of the heart.

From his work as actor, director, and teacher in classical and contemporary drama, Paul brought to his practice of Gestalt therapy a deep appreciation of the power of myth to enrich and to heal personal biography and to awaken individuals to the transpersonal dimensions and goals of their lives. For more information, please visit Paul Rebillot’s website - Direct Impact Creativity.

We are deeply grateful to our teacher on this path Paul Rebillot for spending many many hours with us describing his work, and generously agreeing to sharing it with our listeners around the world.

In this conversation, Paul tells a story of his own life and the path that led him to creating his processes - which are really the modern day rites of passages, the rituals of transformation:

  • How it all started
  • Into the Depth of Theatre
  • The Moment of Catharsis
  • The Healing Theatre
  • The First Trilogy:
    • The Hero’s Journey
    • Death and Resurrection
    • The Family Circles
  • More Structures/Process’ He Has Developed
    • The Lover’s Journey
    • Owning the Shadow
    • Adding Native Amerian tradition elements
    • Exorcising the Demon “Should”
    • Rituals of Transformation
    • Dancing with the Gods
    • The Reincarnation Game
  • The Story Continues

This is the third and last podcast on the Meta-Model in this language series, to be followed by Sleight of Mouth patterns, and the Milton Model patterns, each a small series in itself.

In this last Meta-Model talk, we cover the following deletions:

  • Ambiguous nouns
  • Ambiguous verbs
  • Ambiguous adjectives and adverbs
  • Unspecified referential index
  • Implicit comparisons
  • Judgements

As usual, we chose our examples from 3 different areas:

  • Politics
  • Relationship
  • Business operations

And we run each pattern through three examples from each of those areas.

Swish is a novel visualization technique for reducing unwanted habits. The process involves disrupting a pattern of thought that usually leads to an unwanted behavior such that it leads to a desired alternative. (Wikipedia)

This podcast covers the following topics:

  • Definitions of swishes
    • Binding a new response to an existing trigger. Most popular NLP way: by changing pictures in your mind.
    • Neural pathways - digging a new "trench", new circuitry in the brain
    • Triggers can be in different modalities; doing a swish in the driver modality
  • Uses of swishes - personal examples
    • Martial arts: practicing movements at inappropriate times
    • Not being able to take praise
    • Building social confidence
  • Guided experience of a visual swish
  • Discussion of the NLP swish
  • Expanding the frame of the swish
    • Dance, 5Rhymths by Gabrielle Roth

Neural pathways - digging a new #34;trench#34;, new circuitry in the brain Triggers can be in different modalities; doing a swish in the driver modality Uses of swishes - personal examples Martial arts: practicing movements at inappropriate times Not being able to take praise Building social confidence Guided experience of a visual swish Discussion of the NLP swish Expanding the frame of the swish Dance, 5Rhymths by Gabrielle Roth #34;Fool's dance#34; - a series of movements in monomyth workshop Movement towards our highest potential [techtags: NLP, Swish, 5Rhythms, Dance, Monomyth] Mind,/,Performance,,NLP,,Podcast,,RCG,All,,Radical,Change,Group,,Radical,NLP,,Series Radical Change Group, International clean No #26 Advanced Anchoring http://www.radicalchangegroup.com/2008/03/16/26-advanced-anchoring/ http://www.radicalchangegroup.com/2008/03/16/26-advanced-anchoring/#comments Sun, 16 Mar 2008 19:37:13 +0000 RCG http://www.radicalchangegroup.com/blog/2008/03/16/26-advanced-anchoring/

This episode assumes familiarity with the basic ideas of anchoring. For the initial introduction, please first listen to the earlier podcast on anchoring (episode #6).

In this podcast, we cover the following advanced anchoring topics:

  • Sliding anchors and their uses
    • Increasing or decreasing an anchored state
    • Creating "emotional cocktails"
    • The Circle of Excellence technique
    • Auditory sliding anchors in dancing
    • Public speaking
  • Stacking anchors
    • Circle of excellence: putting different states into the same place (anchor)
    • Stacking anchors at a family dinner table
    • Stacking anchors in a business setting
  • Chaining anchors
    • Typically for transitions between very different states, breaking it up into smaller steps
    • Setting up one state to be the anchor for triggering the next
    • Examples:
      • Confusion to clarity
      • Loss of a loved one - from denial to acceptance
      • Denial of knowledge - from frustration to curiousity and commitment / learning state
  • Spatial anchors
    • Martial art forms
    • Arguments in relationships
    • Addressing groups
    • Dictionary of anchors
  • Borrowing, or stealing anchors
  • Weaving it all together

    When we started these freely available podcasts with a non-profit group in mind, it might have seemed like a crazy idea to most people. Today, we are happy to see that our podcasts are being downloaded all around the World - Europe, China, India, USA, Iraq, Azerbaijan, and many others.

    Now, we are taking another step that might seem like a crazy idea today, but - who knows what the future holds - we are moving towards creating an open-source platform for education. Open source in personal growth is a radical paradigm shift. People say, you want to be different. We say, it’s not enough - let’s contribute to make a difference. Not only you will experience personal change - you will participate in creating it, and transform yourself in the process. This means freely available content, created not just by us, but by you! This means, you get to find and work together with peers all across the globe doing the work you love, get recognized for your contribution, and see the world change in a meaningful way.

    To make this dream come true, we need your help to seed this project. We are inviting skilled professionals who want to contribute their time into creating the open source collaboration platform for education. If you have skills in one or more of the following areas:

    • Programmers
    • Web Designers
    • Graphic Artists
    • Mind Mappers
    • Musicians
    • Voice Artists
    • Sound Engineers
    • Translators from English to other languages

    We took a number of well-known NLP concepts and structured our conversation around those - how they can be used, or how they are enhanced by, the levels of intelligencies, the Clare Graves model of Bio-Psycho-Social System of Human Development. The NLP concepts we touched in this manner are:

    • Rapport and calibration: how to calibrate various levels, and build rapport with the person at a certain level
    • Positional perspectives - ability and willinness to do it at different levels, and number of distinctions people can make
    • Somatics, body movements and postures at different levels of intelligencies
    • How the language changes with each level
      • Milton model - first appears in Purple and continues into Red
      • Meta-model - comes in at Blue (to understand the details of the rules), and really develop in Orange, where precision is important
      • SOM comes up in Green, reframing perspectives
      • From "digital" to "analog" system
    • Metaphors
    • Family structures, relationships
    • Space and architecture
    • Health
    • Metaprograms
      • Internal - External; lust for power - surrender to love
      • Attention filters - things, people, information
      • Thinking styles - Top-down / Bottom-up
      • Pre-consciousness, personal consciousness, transpersonal consciousness

    We are continuing to go in-depth into each of the levels of Adaptive Intelligencies. In this podcast, we cover the remaining 3 levels: Orange, Green and Yellow.

    • Level 5 - Orange:
      • From the land of stability and security (blue) to options, possibilities, using and re-inventing the rules, prosperity, control over resources. Success is the keyword. He/she who has the largest resources has most power. Example: US corporations having more power that even the government or religion. Enterpreneurs, wealth hubs.
      • Metaphors: games; win-lose metaphors. One with more toys wins the game.
      • Shades of gray (on previous levels mainly black and white)
      • Movies: "Stepford wives", "The Wall Street"
      • Leadership: to be gain, and to be kept.
      • Learning: break into part and analyse in pieces. The sense of wholeness hasn’t come here yet. Motivation: Challenges, and rewards after overcoming a challenge, or to let them demonstrate how skilled and powerful they are. Prove themselves.
      • Time: future-oriented. Present is sacrificed for the future, always in the rat-race.
      • Values: reasons for making money - accumulation of wealth.
      • Metaprograms: internal.
      • Extensions: high fashion, expensive things
      • Body: suave
      • Organizational structure: small scunk groups going for opportunities. Free market.
      • Science: if Newtonian is Blue, then Orange is Thermodynamics.
      • Scientific Orange: commercialize scientific findings
      • Architecture: sky scrapers; business buildings are the highest
    • Level 6 - Green
      • 1960s - hippy movement, free love, equality, acceptence, pluralistic world view. Relativity of viewpoints, resources. Democracy (in idealized form) is Green. It is important to hear everybody’s voice. Dark side: insistence on everybody being heard, and nothing gets done. Nobody’s taking charge (everybody’s equal), flat land, doesn’t recognize that people have different skills or points of view. Talks of law of attraction, spirituality, personal growth. New age spirituality sometimes gets mixed with magic (Purple) and confused for transcendence.
      • Family structure: harmony and love
      • Architecture: Frank Lloyd - everything blends into each other.
      • Metaprograms: external reference, attentions on people, on relationships. My rules for me, and your rules for you.
      • Clothing: loose-fitting clothing, flowing.
      • Political system: liberitarian view, freedom
      • Learning: unconscious model, mirror neurons come in
      • Movies: Star Track
    • Level 7 - Yellow
      • Systemic, "Gaia" perspective.
      • Values: freedom, flexibility, knowledge, competence. What do you know? Who can I learn it from? So much to learn, so little time.
      • Leadership: based on process who is best suited for what, and changes hands quickly.
      • Jobs: experts, advisors, stay in a shadow (advisors to kings - Merlin - an advisor to the King)
      • Metaprograms: reference - internal, expression of self. Metaphors - paradoxical, breaking free from dualities (right and wrong, black and white). You hold the tension of the opposites until the third quality emerges.
      • Movies: "Pi"
      • Learning strategies: self-driven, go anywhere to anyone where you can learn. You are becoming like a sponge.
      • Calibration: high sensory acuity, fluidly switch from being a teacher to being a student.

Values: freedom, flexibility, knowledge, competence. What do you know? Who can I learn it from? So much to learn, so little time. Leadership: based on process who is best suited for what, and changes hands quickly. Jobs: experts, advisors, stay in a shadow (advisors to kings - Merlin - an advisor to the King) Metaprograms: reference - internal, expression of self. Metaphors - paradoxical, breaking free from dualities (right and wrong, black and white). You hold the tension of the opposites until the third quality emerges. Movies: #34;Pi#34; Learning strategies: self-driven, go anywhere to anyone where you can learn. You are becoming like a sponge. Calibration: high sensory acuity, fluidly switch from being a teacher to being a student.

    In this podcast, we discuss in depth the first four levels of adaptive intelligencies, the model of Clare Graves that he called bio-psycho-social systems of human development. Here we bring multiple dimensions such as the concepts of time (ref. Edward T. Hall), learning strategies, body dynamics, mythology, NLP metaprograms, language, architecture, and others, and see how these change with each level.

    The topics of this talk includes:

    • Why is it important to master this model?
      • Personal growth, personal evolution
      • Deep understanding of yourself, your response potential
      • Understand structures (religious, political, etc.)
      • Rapport - with others, and with that what is greater than you
      • Moving between different cultures in the global economy
      • What is its impact on things like perception of time, architecture, science
      • Each level expands the boundaries of the previous levels by orders of magnitudes.
    • Beige - primal survival, food, warmth, shelter.
      • Very early stage of human evolution, children up to age of 16-18 months.
      • Architecture: Caves, fire to keep warm and keep away the animals
      • Movies: Tarzan; Cast Away (beginning)
    • Purple - tribe, magical world infused with god. You live as the tribe, and sacrifice yourself for the survival of the tribe. Introduction of specialization. About 50,000 years ago. Obidience to elders.
      • Movies: Medicine Man, Spirited Away, Lion King
      • Extensions: talismans, magical objects
      • Learning: how to be with people, the trust. Superstition-driven. Rituals.
      • Body dynamics: ritual dance
      • Myth: oral myths of creation of the Universe
      • Time: Ability to see (but not use) the past; emergence of cyclical time; “cicrle of life”
      • Architecture: circular huts
    • Red - is the big power trip; the first differentiation of self from
      the world. Aggression. Conquest, explotative empires. Possession,
      “you are mine”, “I do anything for me.” Complete egoists. 10,000 years
      ago; child of 2-5 years old, “the terrible 2s”.

      • Examples: Attila the Hun, Alexander the Great.
      • Metaprograms: internally driven (expressing self); rules for others, no rules for me.
      • Movies: Attila the Hun, Gladiator, the villians in the James Bond movies
      • Metaphors: Life is a Jungle, it’s a doggy dog world
      • Body dynamics: passive-aggressive, unashamedly egoistic; space around them and taking command of space
      • Time: First time when humans can utilize the past
      • Architecture: Castles, outposts
      • Positional perspectives: the first, self appears (no others)
      • Learning strategy: very firm and strong, they only respond to the power, but not threatening, and immediate rewards (no future yet at this level)
    • Blue - 5,000 years ago, hierarchy, piramid. Literal interpretation
      of laws, religions, rules. Only my truth is the right truth. In its
      worst form becomes theocracy. Religion gives you gilt, law gives you
      fear, punishment. The first level to bring stability and peace. At
      its best, it’s stability and peace of mind, the meaning.

      • Language: “must”, “should”, “have to”, “it is wrong”.
      • Time: The future appears - cannot change it yet, but can observe. Paradise in the future.
      • Physics: Newtonian - blue. Absolute space, time.
      • Jobs: beurocrats, preachers, criminal law, science (the regular kind)
      • Extensions: clothes - everyone dresses as everyone else, uniforms
      • Body: rigit movements
      • Movies: 1984 (George Orwell) - the epithomy of blue, V for Vendetta, Dune (movement from purple to blue: tribe to king to religion)
      • Architecture: The tallest buildings are the houses of law, polititians, and religions
      • Books: what’s moral and what’s not moral
      • Martial Arts: samurai warriors - who does the sword serve?
      • NLP Metaprograms: external reference, someone else’s rules for my life, but they are also my rules; black and white perspectives.
      • Learning strategies: motivate by punishment.
    • Transition to Orange - to be continued in the next podcast

    A meme (pronounced [mi:m] in IPA), as defined within memetic theory, comprises a theoretical unit of cultural information, the building block of cultural evolution or diffusion that propagates from one mind to another analogously to the way in which a gene propagates from one organism to another as a unit of genetic information and of biological evolution.[1] Multiple memes may propagate as cooperative groups called memeplexes (meme complexes). (Wikipedia)

    In this talk, we cover the following topics:

    • Definitions of memes and memetics
    • Why do we care about memes?
    • Meme dynamics (analogy to genes)
    • What makes a meme stick?
    • How these memes are programmed in us?
    • How NLP and Memetics work together
      • Memes as beliefs
      • Belief/meme change techniques from NLP

    The Neurological levels were proposed by anthropologist Gregory Bateson (1972, 1979). He defined a hierarchy of abstraction including beliefs, values and identity. He perceived relationships as having a higher abstraction than identity, and therefore influencing lower levels in the hierarchy, such as beliefs and behavior.

    In Neuro-linguistic programming, they were developed by Robert Dilts into the Dilts’ Neuro-logical levels (also known as the logical levels of change and the logical levels of thinking) which are useful for assisting with or understanding change from an individual, social or organization point of view. Each level is progressively more psychologically encompassing and impactful. (Wikipedia)

    Reality tunnel is a term coined by Timothy Leary and popularised by Robert Anton Wilson. The theory states that, with a subconscious set of mental “filters” formed from their beliefs and experiences, every individual interprets this same world differently, hence “Truth is in the eye of the beholder”.

    A submodality in neuro-linguistic programming is a distinction of form or structure (rather than content) within a sensory representational system. Submodalities refers to the subjective structural subdivisions within a given representational system. For example, in visual terms, common distinctions include: brightness, degree of colour (saturation), size, distance, sharpness, focus, and so on; in auditory: loudness, pitch, tonal range, distance, clarity, timbre, and so on (Wikipedia)

    Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) uses the term specifically to indicate the more general pervasive habitual patterns commonly used by an individual across a wide range of situations. Examples of NLP meta-programs include the preference for overview or detail, the preference for where to place one’s attention during conversation, habitual linguistic patterns and body language, and so on.

    Anchoring is a neuro-linguistic programming term for the process by which memory recall, state change or other responses become associated with (anchored to) some stimulus, in such a way that perception of the stimulus (the anchor) leads by reflex to the anchored response occurring. The stimulus may be quite neutral or even out of conscious awareness, and the response may be either positive or negative. They are capable of being formed and reinforced by repeated stimuli, and thus are analogous to classical conditioning.

    Basic anchoring involves in essence, the elicitation of a strong congruent experience of a desired state, whilst using some notable stimulus (touch, word, sight) at the time this is most fully realized. In many cases, repetition of the stimulus will reassociate and restore the experience of the state. (Wikipedia)

    In this podcast, we introduce the pervasive NLP construct called anchors, and play with several ideas around anchoring. In particular, we categorize anchors by responses:

    • Emotional (the typical NLP anchors)
    • Behavioral
    • Ritual, Cultural

    and by triggers:

    • Static
    • Dynamic
    • Environmental anchors
    • Rituals (now as a trigger)

    Finally, we discuss applications of anchors of different varieties.

    Communication - Using Language and Going Beyond

    Communication is a process that allows organisms to exchange information by several methods. Communication requires that all parties understand a common language that is exchanged. A language is a system of symbols and the rules used to manipulate them. Language can also refer to the use of such systems as a general phenomenon. Though commonly used as a means of communication among people, human language is only one instance of this phenomenon. (Wikipedia)

    • What Is Language?
    • The Structure of Language
    • Communicating with Others
