UTOKing with Gregg

In this episode, Layman returns to the show for the seventh time to discuss his recently published book, Gurdjieff for a Time Between Worlds. In it, Layman recounts Gurdjieff’s fascinating life and approach to spirituality and why the book was a “hyperpersonal” endeavor that was appropriate for the metamodern age. Layman also clarifies some common misconceptions, explains why he has a unique take on Gurdjieff and bridges Gurdjieff’s perspective on the body, emotions, and the mind with UTOK’s conception of the three layers of mindedness (https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/theory-of-knowledge/202401/the-mind-versus-layers-of-mindedness).   Gurdjieff for a Time Between Worlds: https://www.skymeadowinstitute.org/press   - - - ℹ️ Find out more about Layman Pascal ℹ️ - - - Substack: https://laymanpascal.substack.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/liquidsyntax The Integral Stage on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaA4zkLRnR3lGm8Y7c5Tvdw   - - - ℹ️ Find out more about Gregg Henriques ℹ️ - - - Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/contributors/gregg-henriques-phd Medium: https://gregghenriques.medium.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/henriqgx   - - - 🌳 The Unified Theory of Knowledge 🌳 - - - Community: https://utok.circle.so Homepage: https://www.utokunifiedtheoryofknowledge.com/ Medium: https://medium.com/unified-theory-of-knowledge Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_knowledge_system

In this episode, the cognitive neuroscientist and author of The Romance of Reality (see here for Gregg’s review), Bobby Azarian joins the program to discuss his “unifying theory of reality” and vision for bridging science and religion. Bobby explains how he interprets the universe through a universal learning algorithm and shares what this means for how we make sense of ourselves and derive meaning from the world. The two review Bobby’s book, draw connections between his views and UTOK and examine what is next in sharing his vision with the world.   ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Bobby Azarian - - - ℹ️ Book: The Romance of Reality: https://www.theromanceofreality.com/ X: https://x.com/bobbyazarian   ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Gregg Henriques - - - ℹ️ Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/contributors/gregg-henriques-phd Medium: https://gregghenriques.medium.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/henriqgx   🌳 - - - The Unified Theory of Knowledge - - - 🌳 Homepage: https://www.unifiedtheoryofknowledge.org/ Medium: https://medium.com/unified-theory-of-knowledge Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_knowledge_system

In this episode, the philosopher Brendan Graham Dempsey joins Gregg to talk about his new book, A Universal Learning Process. It is the first installment of a larger work on The Evolution of Meaning. The book frames the complexification in the universe across the arc of cosmic evolution from the Big Bang to present as a kind of learning that goes through phases. Grounded in the ontology provided by the Tree of Knowledge System and Periodic Table of Behavior, the book charts this evolution starting with Energy and Information and then frames the complexification in Matter as “structural learning,” in Life as “genetic learning,” in Mind as “cognitive learning,” and in Culture as “symbolic learning.” Ultimately, the book culminates on the implications for what is sacred.    ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Brendan Graham Dempsey - - - ℹ️ Book: The Evolution of Meaning - A Universal Learning Process  Press | Sky Meadow Institute Homepage: https://www.brendangrahamdempsey.com/   ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Gregg Henriques - - - ℹ️ Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/contributors/gregg-henriques-phd Medium: https://gregghenriques.medium.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/henriqgx   🌳 - - - The Unified Theory of Knowledge - - - 🌳 Homepage: https://www.unifiedtheoryofknowledge.org/ Medium: https://medium.com/unified-theory-of-knowledge Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_knowledge_system

In this episode, the philosopher Matt Segall joins the program to talk about the book, The Blind Spot: Why Science Cannot Ignore Human Experience. Both Gregg and Matt had done reviews of the book. In this episode they share their respective endorsements and critiques of the book. Matt articulates how, from the vantage point of Whitehead’s process philosophy, how experience can be more effectively incorporated into our worldview. Gregg discusses how UTOK’s Tree of Knowledge System coupled to the iQuad Coin provides a frame for bridging science and the subject.   ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Matt Segal - - - ℹ️ Homepage: https://footnotes2plato.com/about-me/   ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Gregg Henriques - - - ℹ️ Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/contributors/gregg-henriques-phd Medium: https://gregghenriques.medium.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/henriqgx   🌳 - - - The Unified Theory of Knowledge - - - 🌳 Homepage: https://www.unifiedtheoryofknowledge.org/ Medium: https://medium.com/unified-theory-of-knowledge Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_knowledge_system

In this episode, the philosopher Rob Scott returns to talk with Gregg about consciousness and its relationship to identity. He breaks down the key domains of consciousness in terms of awareness, attention, self, narrative and shows how our identification patterns shift over time. He and Gregg discuss this in relationship to modern theories of consciousness and explore its practical implications.   ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Rob Scott - - - ℹ️ Homepage: https://robscott.com   ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Gregg Henriques - - - ℹ️ Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/contributors/gregg-henriques-phd Medium: https://gregghenriques.medium.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/henriqgx   🌳 - - - The Unified Theory of Knowledge - - - 🌳 Homepage: https://www.unifiedtheoryofknowledge.org/ Medium: https://medium.com/unified-theory-of-knowledge Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_knowledge_system

In this episode, Gregg is joined by Vivian Dittmar. Vivian is an author, wisdom teacher and founder of the Be the Change Foundation. She has a diverse background that includes experiences in traditional cultures, Far Eastern philosophy, and shamanic traditions, outlines a framework differentiating physical sensations, biological instincts, social feelings, unprocessed emotions, and transcendent abilities. She emphasizes practices that help process difficult emotions to develop wisdom rather than escape into spiritual bypassing. In this episode, she describes her framework for the emotional backpack and healthy, conscious release. Gregg reflects on how this aligns with UTOK’s model of human consciousness and the unified approach to psychotherapy.   ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Vivian Dittmar- - - ℹ️ Homepage: https://viviandittmar.net/en/ Free Workshop: Introduction to Conscious Release: https://signup.lebensweise.net/conscious-release-workshop#:~:text=This%20free%20workshop%20introduces%20Conscious,healing%20happens%20through%20conscious%20feeling.

In this episode, Gregg is joined by Faisal Mahbouba. Gregg connected with Faisal after Faisal reached out to learn more about UTOK. Faisal is a seeker. He connected with John Vervaeke’s work and then learned about Gregg’s work and found much synergy with his own thinking. As Gregg and Faisal talked more, Gregg learned of Faisal’s talent with words and artistic expression. Especially remarkable was how Faisal expressed his ideas and tied those together with deep theoretical and philosophical insights into the human condition. This episode shares how Faisal came to develop this capacity and shares with the audience some pieces he crafted. Faisal will be sharing more of his work during the UTOK 2024 Consilience Conference, in a symposium titled UTOK and Art, on Friday, April 12th, at 3:00 pm ET.  ℹ️ - - - UTOK Consilience Conference 2024 - - -  ℹ️ https://events.zoom.us/ev/AiZSf1lvPBtp9qu2nvN7w7ICUms98Vkgto8PTx-OmegbQpi5spxw~AoeQ6Qxv9FG4799Wts70Tie7Qit-PoHG9Qw8tLkwfHJKDFPprlOrsZe74w ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Gregg Henriques - - -  ℹ️  Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/contributors/gregg-henriques-phd  Medium: https://gregghenriques.medium.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/henriqgx    🌳 - - - The Unified Theory of Knowledge - - - 🌳  Homepage: https://www.unifiedtheoryofknowledge.org/  Medium: https://medium.com/unified-theory-of-knowledge  Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_knowledge_system

In this episode, Gregg is joined by Max Borders. He is Executive Director at Social Evolution (social-evolution.com), a non-profit organization dedicated to solving social problems through innovation, and the author of The Decentralist, The Social Singularity and After Collapse. Max has a background in philosophy of mind, and recently he and Gregg have been having conversations about the nature of consciousness, and how UTOK frames the mind and deals with mental causation. In this podcast, Max brings his insights and background to grappling with the philosophy of mind, and Gregg explains how UTOK gives us a new vocabulary via the ToK System, Map of Mind, and iQuad Coin, which enables us to unlock many of the old conundrums.   ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Max Borders - - - ℹ️ Substack: https://underthrow.substack.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxborders/   ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Gregg Henriques - - - ℹ️ Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/contributors/gregg-henriques-phd Medium: https://gregghenriques.medium.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/henriqgx   🌳 - - - The Unified Theory of Knowledge - - - 🌳 Homepage: https://www.unifiedtheoryofknowledge.org/ Medium: https://medium.com/unified-theory-of-knowledge Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_knowledge_system

In this episode, I am joined by both Matt Segall and Bonnitta Roy to discuss process ontology and its connections to UTOK and Transcendent Naturalism. Matt is a philosopher who joined me and John on Transcendent Naturalism to discuss his take on Whitehead and Schelling. He recently published, Crossing the Threshold: Etheric Imagination in the Post-Kantian Process Philosophy of Schelling and Whitehead, which both Bonnie and I read and wanted to discuss with him. In addition, Matt wanted to share some of his reflections about Whitehead’s conception of God that he had after listening to Episode 75. This conversation shows that there is much overlap between UTOK and process ontology, and that there is much deep ground to explore. ℹ️  - - -  Find out more about Bonnita Roy - - - ℹ️  Substack: https://substack.com/@bonnittaroy  Twitter: https://twitter.com/bonnittaroy  ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Matt Segall - - - ℹ️  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCtagZg14RFF2pWZcUSt28rA  Homepage: https://footnotes2plato.com/about-me/  Book - Crossing the Threshhold: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1947544489?&linkCode=sl1&tag=thoonyou-20&linkId=07bc32dae82b6baa9300ecc723d7deff&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl   ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Gregg Henriques - - -  ℹ️  Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/contributors/gregg-henriques-phd  Medium: https://gregghenriques.medium.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/henriqgx    🌳 - - - The Unified Theory of Knowledge - - - 🌳  Homepage: https://www.unifiedtheoryofknowledge.org/  Medium: https://medium.com/unified-theory-of-knowledge  Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_knowledge_system    #UTOK #GreggHenriques #BonnittaRoy #ProcessRelations #Philosophy #Existence #Perception #UTOKFramework    

In this episode we engage in a thought-provoking conversation with Bonnitta Roy about the complexities of process relational philosophy. Our discussion centers around the intricacies of internal and external relations, their various types, meanings, and the concept of asymmetry within these relations. Bonnitta Roy provides an in-depth analysis, connecting these ideas to broader metaphysical and philosophical contexts. Gregg Henriques, contributes his insights by relating these philosophical concepts to the UTOK framework, particularly focusing on behavior as an epistemic mapper. This episode promises a deep dive into the nature of existence, perception, and the relational structure of reality, offering both clarity and new perspectives for enthusiasts and scholars alike. Join us for this enlightening journey through the realms of process relations and philosophical exploration.   ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Bonnita Roy - - - ℹ️ Substack: https://substack.com/@bonnittaroy Twitter: https://twitter.com/bonnittaroy   ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Gregg Henriques - - - ℹ️ Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/contributors/gregg-henriques-phd Medium: https://gregghenriques.medium.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/henriqgx   🌳 - - - The Unified Theory of Knowledge - - - 🌳 Homepage: https://www.unifiedtheoryofknowledge.org/ Medium: https://medium.com/unified-theory-of-knowledge Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_knowledge_system #UTOK #GreggHenriques #BonnittaRoy #ProcessRelations #Philosophy #Existence #Perception #UTOKFramework

Gregg welcomes Brendan Graham Dempsy back to the program (Episode #50; Toward a Metamodern Spirituality). Brendan is a writer whose work focuses on the meaning crisis and the nature of spirituality in metamodernity. He is also the host of the Metamodern Spirituality podcast, and has recently released a new book, Metamodernism: The Cultural Logic of Cultural Logics. Gregg loved this book, and the episode is a tour of the book, highlighting its key points and its overarching logic. The book explicates how metamodernism relates to aesthetics, complexification of culture, philosophy, grand metanarratives, and can be thought of as an important worldview for our times.   ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Brendan Graham Dempsey - - - ℹ️ Homepage: https://www.brendangrahamdempsey.com/   ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Gregg Henriques - - - ℹ️ Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/contributors/gregg-henriques-phd Medium: https://gregghenriques.medium.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/henriqgx   🌳 - - - The Unified Theory of Knowledge - - - 🌳 Homepage: https://www.unifiedtheoryofknowledge.org/ Medium: https://medium.com/unified-theory-of-knowledge Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_knowledge_system

In episode 73, Gregg welcomes Professor Rick Repetti. Rick is a philosopher who has long standing interests in meditation, the self, agency, and free will. He was previously on an Inside UTOK conversation with Gregg, where his shared his views of the meaning crisis, work with John Vervaeke, and his development of a new vision for truth systems call the Knowledge Coin. In this episode, he and Gregg talk about the concept of free will in relationship to Robert Sapolsky’s new book, Determined: The Science of Life Without Free Will. Both Gregg and Rick agree that Sapolsky provided a very weak argument, one that was lacking in philosophical sophistication and was anchored to an outmoded, reductive view of scientific knowledge. In addition, his conclusions about how we justify blame and responsibility are poorly defined and dangerous. UTOK provides a much clearer view on how to understand human agency and processes of justification pertaining to blame and praise.   ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Rick Repetti - - - ℹ️ Homepage: https://www.rickrepetti.com/ ℹ️ - - - Find out more about Gregg Henriques - - - ℹ️ Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/contributors/gregg-henriques-phd Medium: https://gregghenriques.medium.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/henriqgx   🌳 - - - The Unified Theory of Knowledge - - - 🌳 Homepage: https://www.unifiedtheoryofknowledge.org/ Medium: https://medium.com/unified-theory-of-knowledge Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_knowledge_system
