O.G. Rose | The Metamodern Business Bureau: On the Hard Problems of Economics and Politics (w/ Layman Pascal) @O.G.Rose.Michelle.and.Daniel | Uploaded December 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
This conversation is inspired by Layman Pascal's recent piece, "The MetaModern Business Bureau (MMBB): Transitional Economics for Liminal Networks." An excerpt from the piece:
----
A bonus chapter at the end of G. I. Gurdjieff’s (most readable) book, Meetings With Remarkable Men, is entitled “The Material Question.” This short text purports to address the topic of financing within developmental institutions. I say purports because it is a typically wild cavalcade of autobiographical anecdotes. At the least on the surface. Hieroglyphically, it might be about some other “material” — but that’s for another article. Today we’re talking about money.
The so-called material question is on everyone’s lips. Very few actionable answers are available. In parts of the transrational, regenerative, metamodern, liminal, Game B, integrative (et al) networks, we spend a lot of time discussing Bitcoin, ecological economics, gift economies & Metamodern Monetary Theory. Good.
Some of us spend time exploring how to open our solar plexus power, process our “intergenerational stuff around money,” and generally get better at the art of being in the flow of abundance. Also good.
We just do not spend a lot of time collectively examining the present and future financing options for people we think are doing essential work...

Layman Pascal used to be a Canadian meditation teacher, yoga instructor & philosopher of Integral Metatheory—but he’s feeling much better now. In his spare time he leads the Metamodern Spirituality Retreats, hosts the Integral Stage podcast and provides unique online courses. He is a founding member of the Archdisciplinary Research Center, the Endemic Wisdom Council, the RSPND project and operates as co-chair of the Foundation for Integral Spirituality and Religion. His written articles can be found in various obscure journals and certain esoteric anthologies including Perspectiva’s “Dispatches from a Time Between Worlds" and Cadell Last’s "Abyssal Arrows: Spiritual Leadership Inspired by Thus Spoke Zarathustra." Currently, he is working on a book about the philosopher Gurdjieff for the recently minted Sky Meadow Press.
His areas of interest include metashamanism, the metaphysics of adjacency, nonduality, developmental stage theories, neurological correlates of meditation, sacred naturalism, embodied spirituality & emerging formulations of the human religious instinct suited to a post-postmodern civilization facing numerous accelerating and converging crises.
