The Integral Stage | Love the System (Ep. 19: Jason Medland on Shadow, Ritual, and the Wisdom of Mystery Traditions) @theintegralstage8140 | Uploaded May 2022 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
In the Integral community, we tend to show too little love to the Lower Right quadrant. In this new series, Love the System, Layman Pascal and his guests will take deep dives the nature of living and man-made systems, and explore the most promising systemic approaches to managing the challenges of our day.
For episode 19, Layman is joined again by Jason Medland for a continuation of their discussion in episode 16. Jason asks, In conceptualizing a 'religion that is not a religion' in Metamodern and Integral circles, are we not talking about something that has long been with us: the Mystery traditions? Layman and Jason explore insights from Western esoteric traditions into the function of individual, communal, and national ritual; individual and collective shadow work; virtues and their social cultivation; the importance of testing our psychospiritual insights and practice innovations in community; and much more.
Jason Medland is an OpenSource Software/Systems Architect, Free Mason, firearms and combat sport enthusiast, a Natural Born Psychonaught, and a Meanderthal.
