Emergent Wisdom

In what ways, in our attempts at liberation, do we merely migrate the same logics that produce oppression and keep replicating the same realities? How coloniality, white supremacy, and even patriarchy are also (destructive) attempts at liberation and care? And what does all of that have to do with how we show up relationally in our personal and interpersonal relationships? https://www.bayoakomolafe.net/  [https://www.bayoakomolafe.net/]for his magnificent rhizomatic wisdom.

Eros, erotic aliveness, is a force that can be liberating, healing, and transformative, or, when suppressed, privatized, and hidden in the shadows, a force of violence, violation, and destruction. In this episode, with the help of A'ida Shibli and the Patreon community here, I'd like to draw on the connection between Eros, the erotic side of the violence in Fascism, and the powerful liberatory side of the Erotics as a potent line of flight from systemic oppression. We will venture into some of the darkest corners of the human psyche and our own inner fascist. Move with tenderness and care, and poetically ground everything in ideas from the works of Deleuze and Guatarri in 'Capitalism and Schizophrenia and Emergent Ecological Principles. ---------- Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/emergentwisdom Work directly with me: https://form.typeform.com/to/Jn9kLhRJ Check out A'ida's work: Www.tamera.org Check out Kreatress: https://www.instagram.com/kreatress_music/

What’s common to bizarre conspiracy theories, new-age spiritualism, and the Neo-fascist pipeline?  Is there a connection between end-of-the-world prophecies and our current ecological realities?  Can we find non-linear, queer, meandering wisdom in the most absurdly nonsensical beliefs?  In today’s episode, we will explore all of that and more through the mythopoetic sense of the trickster archetype.  Support us on Patreon [https://patreon.com/emergentwisdom?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink] by joining our monthly group study and accessing full-length interviews with the guests.

Why do I think we should kill hope? Where did our collective denial of death originate? What’s the difference between individuality and individuation? And how is this all connected to our collapsing world? All of that and more in today’s episode.  We all have different relationships with what’s happening in the world; some of us gravitate towards denial, others depressed, while some feel incredibly angry, all of which are valid states of grief as we are feeling the world’s suffering in our bodies, whether we are aware of it or not.  But what if, as we move through the stages of grief all the way towards acceptance, something emerges? A fresh lens of anticipatory resoluteness and a genuine excitement to be alive and play a meaningful role in the world’s unfolding?  And what might that look like for you?

And what are we to do? And what are we to do? What if this is not about progressing into something entirely new but rather remembering forgotten wisdom that already permeates in our cells, blood and bones? What if the journey is challenging but a lot simpler than we think? A paragon of possibilities rather than a set of problems needs solving. What if there’s an actionable, embodied path to positioning oneself, community, and society as a joyful and active participant in the great unfolding of aliveness and in the liberation of all? A manual for vibrancy in the midst of chaos.
