The Human Maturity Podcast

Joining me today is a new guest, Ashley, who’s been doing EBE a little over a year. We have a rich and lovely conversation about her process, the nature of enlightenment, Ken Wilber, Landmark Education, athleticism as a medication and the overall theme that emerges is the holy dead-ending of willfulness, something we both performed excellently if you can appreciate my irony. This release won’t be early for members, but the next one will be.

Joining me again today is regular guest, Eric Grace. First, I should mention we recorded this the day before Jimmy Kimmel’s show was reinstated by ABC, that’s a win for free speech we celebrate. We talk about that, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, democracy, corporate narcissism, capitalism, welfare, my personal crusade about the phrase “It feels like,” self-improvement projects, the integration of awakening and much more. It’s been a while since I’ve said it, so I will: this podcast is best listened to from the beginning.

There’s an article I recently wrote that we reference and the link is in the show notes. Also, I wrote a dense page or two about why “It feels like…” and “I feel like…” are such important phrases to unpack, but that’s available only to podcast members, and that’s my cue.

Joining me again today is special guest, Eric Grace. Today’s topics include trailing, middle, and leading edges, self-care, sacred union and destiny work, and the dead-end of subjectivism.

This episode does not drop early podcast members to reward their support because I didn’t get it done in time, but usually would. We had a lovely Second Sunday event today for podcast members and had a rich discussion about the paradoxical death of the spiritual seeker, the integration of sagehood and personhood, and the surrender of personal will.

Joining me again today is special guest, Eric Grace. Today, we complete a handful of psychologization items leftover from a previous episode, including the concept of blaming the victim, self-sabotage, compromise, and more. We have a spontaneous and spirited debate about the future of our species on this planet and finally discuss demedications and vari…

Joining me again today is special guest, Eric Grace. In this episode, we somehow weave together psychodynamic analysis of children’s television, especially of muppets, with what was supposed to be our main topic today, the opening of the third eye as a result of EBE work. We also go down a brief rabbit hole about the loss of meaningfulness in content related to Sagehood, which is in one way just as important as Cookie Monster’s spacer type.

Joining me again today is special guest, Eric Grace. In this episode, we comb through a list of psychological terms that have trickled down into mainstream consciousness and give you Edenity’s metaphysical take on them. These terms are ways in which the paradigm of psychology has become an implicit value system in our society, largely in distorted ways, going from the already relatively weak, mind-based paradigm to diluted in mass consciousness, so I think you’ll find this valuable.

Joining me today is special guest, Eric Grace. It’s been a while since he’s been on and we had a wonderful discussion about the challenge of demeds, especially the common situation of women leaving safe men where emotional needs aren’t met, we also talk about authority projections, how to be an effective student of Edenity, and a lot more.

We continue down the list of dharma cookies. Topics today include allness vs. oneness, authority projections and accusations of EBE being a cult (again), how you cannot transcend your soul-I, parent projections onto God, joy vs. happiness,

Please note: I recorded this apology long after HOS141 was recorded in which I refer to the Yin-in-Service Treatise criticism and 141 has not yet been released to the general public (but has to members). I was still in the process of sorting through things when 141 was recorded. So if you listen to 141, where I criticize the criticism, you may be reasonably confused by a different tone and level of responsibility for people’s triggers that I took at that time. I’ve numbered this episode as early as makes sense and wanted to release it as soon as possible, rather than releasing it after 141 is public and delaying the apology. I hope this makes sense.

I would add that the criticism of the criticism I make in 141, in content, is valid. The contextual issue is that the treatise was just not suited for all audiences, which was a blind spot created by my own protector, and that is a valid criticism I now accept.

We continue down the list of dharma cookies. As these cookies cover many different things, I’m titling the episode based on what comes to me as one of juiciest ones. We cover some new ground on the distinction between needling love with vs. needing love from today which I thought was profound. Other topics include state-chasing, living in the flow vs. manifesting it, deconstructing oneness, and much more.
