The Deep End

What is "community"? What constitutes "genuine community"? How do we get through all the differences that divide us and create a true community, not just of ourselves and friends but for America and the World? Redhawk, Mary Anne & Bob go all the way in reaching for genuine community.

Cognition and Emotions give us two ways of taking the world into our being. What are the mechanisms that create these? How can we discern a world of hope and light and move towards it by using our many brains to see, feel, touch and become a part of this magnificent event that is our being, life and consciousness.

Redhawk, Mary Anne and Bob are joined by the Director for Ethics Providence and St. Joseph's Healthcare system, Rev. Dr. Andi Chatburn, MD. We wrestle a bit over how decisions are made and to what end in our healthcare systems today and then place that struggle within our emerging Metaphysic of Justice. [email protected]

Why is it so hard to accept new ideas? What is going on in us that makes it so difficult? In #100 we look at the way the humankind takes in new ideas and either makes them part of oneself or rejects them... or gets stuck in "cognitive dissonance" and ends up twisting the world to fit their unchangeable position.

Humans have been in a constant state of waking since the moment of self consciousness. At every junction however, it seems we are just waking to a deeper and deeper mystery. What is this waking? What did the Buddha say? Is there only conundrum... forever? [email protected]

Do we have "Free Will" or do we live in a totally "deterministic" universe? If we do have "free will" where does it come from, how does it happen. We explore the underside of the issue of "free will" by showing how the quantum, non-deterministic side of things is accessible to consciousness and life in general. It's still a mystery and source of great confusion. [email protected]

In Ethics 2 we look at what is happening today from healthcare to global climate change and how the arc from our inner values moves into morality and then coded in ethics and then through policy into law. What is RIGHT and what is WRONG? ...by what measure and who says? [email protected]

Science fiction is consciousness is critically processing iterations of the future to morally and ethically explore possible consequences and more clearly define what it means to be a human being... in short, to have a Soul. Join us in our romp through this delightful and challenging genre of literature, movies and TV. redhawkthedeepend2gmail.com

Ethics is one of THE Core Issues for the human family. Tomorrow is now upon us and genetics will give us one of the first real views of the great complexity of the issues that face us. Join Rev. Redhawk, Mary Anne and Dr. Bob in a discussion on how the field of genetics is allowing us to actually change the course of evolution. [email protected]

The Gospel of Thomas presents us with some interesting challenges of sorting out the cultic gnostics from the mystics. Redhawk, Mary Anne and Bob explore how gnosticism from Plato all the way up to today can inform us about how ideas and metaphysics and religion interact to give us the understandings we all partake of today.
