In Re/thinking Religion, a new Integral Stage series, John Vervaeke joins Bruce Alderman and Layman Pascal to explore possible points of contact and confluence between their respective approaches to religion and spirituality. For the sixth episode, they reflect on the "dark," participatory dimensions of language; the intersections of Bohm's rheomode ("flowing language") and rheosoma ("flowing body") practices in relationship to John's recursive relevance realization and his work on dialectic into dialogos; the tyranny of the propositional and the function of the occult within religious cultures; the need for the religion that is not a religion to focus on addressing our global crises, without falling into instrumentalism; and much more.

John Vervaeke is a cognitive scientist, a professor of psychology at Toronto University, and the creator of the popular YouTube series, "Awakening from the Meaning Crisis."

$A New Vision of Reality - TSK for the 21st Century (Ep. 12: Elissa Slanger) A New Vision of Reality: TSK for the 21st Century is a new series exploring the Time-Space-Knowledge vision, which is a secular or post-metaphysical path of spiritual inquiry first introduced by the Tibetan lama, Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche. TSK starts from the radical suggestion that deep, open-ended, sustained inquiry into time, space, and knowledge, as fundamental facets or elements of our being, can have a profoundly transformative impact on our ways of being and knowing in the world. As we head now into the third decade of the 21st century, many people are realizing that we have become caught up, rather surprisingly, in various crises of meaning and sense-making. And as a secular path of transformative inquiry and non-dual insight, open to science and psychology as much as to contemplative disciplines and Socratic dialogue, TSK is powerfully resonant with and relevant to the various integral, metamodern, and other communities that are attempting to articulate and address these crises. In this series, then, we will explore TSK in depth, talking to many of its teachers and long-time students, considering its origins and intentions, its key insights and practices, and looking forward also for whatever wisdom and ways of working it might offer us in the century ahead. For Episode 12, Bruce Alderman is joined by Elissa Slanger, a TSK and Kum Nye instructor, psychotherapist, and former ski instructor. Elissa discusses her early explorations of Christian mysticism and Eastern traditions; her travels to the East and her Zen formation in Japanese Rinzai monasteries; her encounter with Tibetan traditions in Nepal; her first meetings with Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche and her introduction to TSK; and her deepening exploration of TSK, with its impact on her life, her practice as a psychotherapist, her work on the arts of aging, and much more.
