A (Very!) Rough Guide to the Cosmos! With Oliver Baum & Nicholas RosseinskyAt least: this is how it currently seems to us! ...Ground-of-Being, One-Being, SoulsVeils' tentative view begins at the most fundamental Reality-level. We see a Self-Sourcing Ground-of-Being, distinct from the True Self of Eastern non-dual traditions, but also very distinct from a punitive, patriarchal, anthropomorphic God. The Ground is the deepest: there's nothing beyond. In Creation, the Ground replicates itsel...
This Universe can be a place for hiding out from GoB*. (Repeatedly, in successive Universe-incarnations/cycles.) Or, it can be a place for the kindest, most joy-full, re-awakening to GoB-relationship!Equivalently, there are two major versions of science, describing and enacting these 'two uses for a material Universe'!Mainstream Science is a Veil!Mainstream science is a huge (and ungrounded!) obstacle to Birthing Spirit in the Modern World. Why? It claims everything can be explained in terms ...
Previous Work: 'Sacred'/'Deep'/... EconomyA lot of great work identifies alternatives to current economic theory/practice, as 'Sacred', 'Deep' etc. [As well as Butterworth, authors that Nicholas appreciates but 'spaced' in the Episode include Eisenstein and McKibben.] We use 'Divine Economy' here to point to something distinct, and far more radical. Ideas: 'The Perfect Good'Nicholas re-purposes the term 'perfect good' ('good' in the sense of 'goods and services'), here to describe something t...
Culture has many definitions: we discuss values/ethics, religion, and a non-contradictory patchwork of cultural components (art, morality, spirituality/religion, science).Ethical SystemsWhat's right and wrong? What do these words mean - right/wrong for purpose, or morally good/bad? Is there an objective truth about moral action, or is it culturally-contingent? Are there universal 'moral laws' ?!Without answering all these questions (!), we look at Split Will* as the source of suffering. One m...
This Episode is the second of three looking at Conditioning: we discuss the idea that Familial (E7), Societal (this Episode), and Cultural (E9) versions form a sort of interlinked trinity.Family vs SocietyAlthough there are some similarities, Society isn't quite the same as one big Family, in terms of conditioning. For example, Society sets its own limits (e.g. laws), whereas Family norms can (usually!) only vary within a societally-acceptable envelope. Conditioning: What is It Good For...
Well, this one's definitely an Episode of two halves!Part 1: Conditioning Occurring in the Family SettingWe revisit the two-fold model of Glitch/Wound*, or AS/IF*+incarnation. Death, Guilt, Shame etc. deeply originate in psychospiritual territory, 'pre-dating' birth (and typically continuing until and even after death!). Then, fear-of-death, and guilt-and-shame, are powerful conduits for rules-of-belonging, conditioning children to think, feel, and act in family-specific, limited modes.Yes, B...
What are Life Statements and Limiting Beliefs?One model depicts Statements and Beliefs as a tree, with a trunk formed from one of two positions: 'I'm bad', or 'I'm worthless/not-good-enough'. Branches and twigs coming off this trunk are typically formed by ingesting and crystallizing some Family Beliefs, by self-directed creative cognitions, and/or by pressures from society and culture. As with other aspects of early-life psychology, this structure can have far greater impact than current mai...
Primal Wound - DefinitionThe Primal Wound is essentially early-life trauma that severs the connection to 'Self' - who we are in real-Reality*! In later life, as well as self-alienation, we can feel disconnected and act disconnected from other humans, from Nature, and from the Ground-of-Being itself. The Glitch/Wound ControversyThe Primal-Wound hypothesis has started to become culturally-acceptable, even conventional. (E.g.: anti-Trump explanations of his behavior in terms of his father-Wound!...
A Tumultuous Romp through Gender in Spiritual Life, with Oliver Baum and Nicholas Rosseinsky Starting in the 'Beyond'!The crucial starting point for our tour: the Ground-of-Being* and the One-Being*(True Self, Buddha Nature, Christ Consciousness) are neither masculine nor feminine! This level of Reality is genderless, or as Oliver likes to call it, 'isogenous'.Psychospiritual vs PsychologicalWe descend from genderless Ground/One, via three realms: the psychospiritual, the psychological, and t...
A New Take on Duality and Non-Separation with Oliver Baum and Nicholas RosseinskyWhat are Duality and Non-Separation? We start by kicking around various definitions of duality and non-separation. For those who aren't into psycho-spirituality, these terms - depending how you define them! - are used to point to the experience, condition, or reality-setting, in which awakened/enlightened beings find themselves.As a more everyday (non-spiritual!) orientation, consider the closeness you feel...
A Fresh Look at Ego and Ego Processes, with Oliver Baum and Nicholas RosseinskyThe Importance of 'Ego'Naturally, 'Ego' is not as important as Ego would have us believe! (Psycho-therapeutic in-joke!) By now though, even those who aren't therapeutically-expert or spiritually-inclined will have come across (or even made!) references to the 'egos' of loved ones, co-workers, politicians, celebrities, and so on. But what is meant by the word 'ego'?! What does it label, or point to?At Least Two Mean...
The Beginning: Who we are, What this is, and Where it's going!What is the 'Veils to the Soul' podcast?'Veils to the Soul' invites you into a tapestry of conversations that Oliver and Nicholas began in 2020. In subsequent weekly Episodes, we address (or at least to begin with!) a specific topic, and explore it relative to a definite but lightly-held reality-map (a new integration of science and spirituality). The second half of this Episode-1 (starting at 31:00) sketches key landmarks in...
