In this episode Andrew shares the insights he gained while bush walking in the Blue Mountains Australia. To be reduced by exhaustion to only caring for food, shelter and water, can be a learning experience. Mindfulness and metaphorical thinking acts very differently when we have only simple repetitive actions to contend with. We can also be aware of the affect advertising and city life is having on us by contrasting it with a few days in nature. These ideas and more are discussed in detail throughout this episode.

Dave Goodman holds a Ph.D. in Jazz studies from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, and is the recipient of numerous music awards. He has performed in national and international ensembles and toured with prominent jazz musicians on a regular basis for over two decades, appearing on over 40 albums. He is an active educator, and is widely recognised for his wealth of wisdom and knowledge of jazz drumming, and music studies.

In this episode Dave shares his experiences with Bob Berg, and what it was like to discover the world of jazz-fusion music. We also talk about the nature of learning, what it means to be a dedicated student, and how one can move through the learning process in an optimal way. Dave refers to the essay ‘The Road To Graceland’ by Robert Fripp as a way of explaining his philosophy of music and philosophy of life. We also discuss transcribing music, Schoenberg harmony, drummer Gordy Knudtson, and Dave’s album Trioflight – as well as many other things!

In this episode we talk about a few parts of Integral Theory and how they could be related to a musicians practice routine. We talk about meditation, body ability, states of mind, intelligence, and the dark side of music - your shadow side. An Integral Music practice covers all the factors of personal development and this episode makes a start at outlining a workable framework. 

This episode was inspired by a conversation I recently had with the Sydney based jazz musician Dave Goodman. Many of the concepts and ideas in this episode came from talking with him about music practice.

In this episode we talk at length about the music of Keith Jarrett and his philosophies behind the creative process. We discuss a few aspects of The Fourth Way, a philosophy developed by George Gurdjieff, which had a large influence on Jarrett. We also quote extensively from the book The Psychology of Mans Possible Evolution by Peter Ouspensky (a student of Gurdjieffs) to help understand what thought processes Jarrett uses to make his music. Keith Jarrett is one of the greatest musicians of the recorded era and this episode pays homage to his legacy.

In this Episode Andrew shares his opinion on the book Inner Engineering by Sadhguru. He recalls what it’s like to hear about one of the more extreme Awakening stories. There is also general discussion about the practices, the principals, the history and the institution surrounding Sadhguru. An inspiring figure, this book does well to illustrate why he has been brought to the limelight and become a force of good on a global scale.
