    Episode 305: Robin Lassiter: Earth: A Love Story/Mystical Encounters/The Four Who Are One

    This podcast focuses on Robin's moving and prophetic work Earth: A Love Story which chronicles her lifelong encounters with anomalous, paranormal and mystical experiences.  After years of trauma and addiction, Robin found support in the experiencer community and has since dedicated her life to help others move across the threshold from a limited framework of materialism into an enchanted animate world complete with sacred interior landscapes.  Her work is based on the idea that the "phenomenon" is a developmental driver, and that it invites us to explore the very nature of reality.

    For many years Robin received teachings from a collective of entities she calls the Four Who Are One.  They and others have given her a pathway that has brought her on a journey through development and maturation, as well as deep into spiritual study and practice.  She now acts as a guide and supportive team member for others who find themselves called to the same journey.  Her highest devotion is her life in service to all beings.  Robin gives all credit and gratitude to her teachers and her teachers' teachers.

    Episode 301: Kuma Bwenze--Bwete/Iboga/Reconciliation/Spiritual Possession

    Ikara retreat center is located in the southern zone of Costa Rica.  Ikara is the western representative of Mboka A Nzambe -- one of the last traditional Bwete villages in Gabon.  

    King Adumangana of Mboka A Nzambe invited Kuma to join the African village and be initiated as a Miobe Nganga.  During his initiation, Kuma was taken deep into the Babongo territories (the home of the Babongo Pygmies) in Dibios to do his rite of passage Mweli before his initiation could be completed.   Kuma was the first westerner to be initiated for this great privilege.  King Adumangana wanted Kuma to be his advocate for the west and convey the knowledge, teachings, and spirituality of Bwete.  

    In this way, the main aim of Ikara is to screen people who may wish to visit Mboka A Nziambe in Gabon.  King Adumangana wants people to come and experience the traditional process of rebirth in its traditional manner.  Ikara offers traditional Babongo Miobe Ombudi Iboga ceremonies as taught by Spiritual Father King Adumangana.  All profits go directly to Mboka A Nzambe and the 7 Babongo villages supported in Dibois.

    Episode 299: L.E. Maroski: "Embracing Paradox, Evolving Language: Expressing the Unity and Complexity of Integral Consciousness"

    In Embracing Paradox, Evolving Language (2024), L.E. Maroski proposes that humanity is poised on the cusp of a transformation of consciousness that requires not only a shift in values and perspectives, but also a shift in a basic technology we take for granted--language.  Maroski questions the cultural assumptions that are built into the structure of language and invites the reader to imagine and ultimately to help develop novel structures of language that arise from different assumptions.  To do so, she shows how we can draw inspiration from paradoxical topological forms, such as the Mobius strip and Klein bottle, as they embody both unity and duality/multiplicity.  By seeing our reality not simply in terms of either/or but also in terms of both(many)/and, perhaps we can better appreciate the wholeness of all existence.
