brilliant sounds and arrangements...like the style of vocals…very good!

impressive songwriting, love the groove and harmonies

There she is
And there she walks
Receive her, as she does you

Ohio is in the eye of there storm again
Although I know it won't be long before it comes hitting here

You now where I stand
And although we're apart you're my friend

Again, I wonder where the sun it goes
And bent all around the pole

Know where I stand
As she is on top for your close

The willingness to look at the parts of ourselves that we can’t see -- or don’t want to see -- is a major milestone on the path of self-actualization. In this episode, Dr. Keith Witt tells us that the difference between a destructive shadow and a constructive shadow is our willingness to engage with it. So how do we do that?

Elegance is the word that author and coach Rob McNamara uses to refer to the experience of higher, post-autonomous stages of development, or what we might call integral consciousness. Listen as he talks to Jeff about embodying elegance in life, love and leadership.

In the following excerpt Jeff asked Ken Wilber a question about magical thinking vs real psychic phenomena.

Whether we’re talking about near-death experiences, precognitive dreams, telepathic communication, bizarre synchronicities...they all defy materialistic explanation, and yet they also seem to communicate deep truth and meaning. What are we to make of this when science says no, but we intuit that something more is going on here?

Listen to this clip of Ken Wilber as he clarifies the difference between pre-rational magic and trans-rational subtle energies and what he refers to as "the realm of transformation."

With Donald Trump currently leading the Republican presidential field, the race is finally getting interesting. Few people think he will ultimately prevail, but Trump can absolutely affect the outcome -- and not in the Republican's favor. By alienating young and minority voters he exacerbates the party’s demographic decline, and if he mounts a third party candidacy it would virtually ensure a Democratic victory in November. (Which may be fine with him, as he has supported many liberal causes in the past including Hillary Clinton’s senate campaign.)

What makes this eccentric, egocentric billionaire so popular among Republicans, the very people whose interests he threatens? Simple: he’s strong, he’s capricious, he shows no fear and has little respect for the rules of the game that so many see as rigged against them. He’s vainglorious, thin-skinned, surrounded by beautiful women and apparently willing to offend anyone and say anything, whether he believes it or not.  

In integral terms he’s “red meme”, operating from the warrior stage of development that still lives in the belly of our collective beast. As such Trump is a tonic for the poll-driven drivel that most professional politicians deal in.   

In this short audio Jeff Salzman reveals some of what integral theory can tell us about the cultural -- and now political -- phenomena of Donald Trump.
