What paths lie ahead for religion and spirituality in the 21st Century? How might the insights of modernity and post-modernity impact and inform humanity's ancient wisdom traditions? How are we to enact, together, new spiritual visions – independently, or within our respective traditions – that can respond adequately to the challenges of our times?

THE LESSONS OF SPIRIT AND THE LISTENING HEART

For episode 41, Layman Pascal meets with the Venezuelan author, teacher, and healer, Carolina Marquez, to talk about her formative spiritual experiences, her understanding and work with subtle domains, her insights into psychospiritual development and healing, the challenges of discerning the accuracy or truthfulness of intuitive messages and subtle-level encounters, the chakras and the special importance of the heart center, and much more.

Carolina Marquez nace en Caracas (Venezuela). Es psicopedagogo especialista en Dificultades en el Aprendizaje y Problemas Emocionales, lo cual se dedicó a ejercer durante 8 años en su ciudad natal. En su búsqueda por comprender los procesos de la vida, ayudar a otros e intentar obtener respuestas a la razón de nuestras experiencias ha realizado diversos estudios y certificaciones, entre las más destacadas: sanador, psicoterapeuta pránico y canalizador de ángeles. Actualmente se encuentra laborando como asistente profesor en una institución escolar en la comunidad Princeton, N.J. (Estados Unidos), debido a que tuvo que emigrar de su país dejando a todos sus seres queridos y familiares. Divide su tiempo entre la escritura, consultas online e intentando forjar un nuevo comienzo de vida.

$The Soul of AI (Ep. 4: Tada Hozumi) The question of the promise and peril of AI is a proper one for our long-running Love the System series, but we thought it deserved its own spot as a sub-series due to the rapid development and proliferation of Large Language Models and other ground-breaking AI technologies over the past six months. It may be too early to tell yet, but with the clear power of this emergent technology, its potential to take over many of the tasks we used to regard as exclusively human, and its rapid public uptake, it feels like we are on the cusp of an epochal change. How are we to secure the psychological and spiritual health of human beings in the face of such developments? How do we ethically and wisely merge living and non-living intelligences? What wisdom from this corner of the internet from our respective integral, metamodern, and spiritual communities can help us navigate the monumental challenges and opportunities ahead? For the fourth episode, Layman sits down with Tada Hozumi to explore his thoughts on how a Shinto, animist approach to the world of living intelligences might help us wisely interface, also, with new AI systems, and to recognize some of their affordances perhaps not as readily apparent within our pervasive, materialist and reductionist worldviews. As their discussion deepens, they also get into tantric and Kabbalistic dimensions of AI, and an exploration of the possibilities of a techno-shamanist ethics and etiquette for our technological and social media landscapes. Tada Hozumi launched his career in 2017, when he started doing coaching work around undoing racism through somatic approaches. This piece of work evolved into something he referred to as ‘cultural somatics’, which is an approach to both individual and cultural change that posits that cultures are in fact bodies made of bodies. Because of this, individual change and collective change are necessarily embodied processes that have a fractal relationship. One of the great benefits he saw in this kind of ‘cultural-somatic’ approach was that it showed us that everything we learn about our own somatic process can be applied to an understanding of how to work with social transformation. Through these efforts, he met Dare Sohei, who had a great impact on his work as they introduced him to foundational concepts of what he could call contemporary liberatory animism, which led Tada to develop a cultural somatic framework that saw the ancestors and other intangible presences our cultures speak of as beings that live in the ‘cultural nervous system’ of our ‘cultural somas’.
