We talk with Robert about social issues, structure-stages, and the latest craze of Jordan Peterson's popularity. Robert is a leader within the Integral Theory "movement" initiated by Ken Wilber's philosophical work. He led the Integral Center in Boulder, and has fresh insight from both a practioner view and leadership view. We look at the clash between post-modernism and modernist thinking: in Integral terms, Orange and Green. We also dive into the different spiritual paths Robert has pursued and taught. This is an interesting episode, especially for those concerned about the intersection of spirituality with the socio-political landscape. And!

Hospice chaplain Michael Laird shares stories of clients. He says ninety percent of them have visions of "the other side" before passing on. Some see deceased relatives and ancestors; others see holy figures like Buddha and Jesus. All of the visions appear positive and function like assurances that a place is being prepared for them on the other side. This is a fascinating podcast because it is, in a sense, research into the dying process and can give viewers hope of a World Without End.For our free illustrated eBook on The Christian Mystics, go here. https://contemplativelight1.lpages.co/a-beginners-guide-to-the-christian-mystics/
