Emergent wisdom is where we explore current events and the challenges of the human experience through the lens of ecological wisdom, system thinking, and mythopoetic meandering. This podcast is for you if you are ready to go from emergency to emergence and turn your life into a joyful ride toward collective liberation and an offering of love at the altar of creation.
Something is always emerging,
and one can hear, see and hence participate in it.
the question is not whether you are part of it but how?
a new subjectivation that lets you hear the voices of reverberating biopoetic forces,
streams, you and i are part of, a different way of being and becoming.
rhizomes of interdependence we have never actually left behind,
only in dreams
you can hear it when things become quiet at night near a fire with some loved ones,
when your palm touches fresh moss or though the brief interlocking gaze of acknowledgment from a member of another specie,
a new subjectivity is emerging from this point of contact
put your finger in the wet soil and get electrified by cosmic infinity stretched to
all direction that start from nowhere in particular, and everywhere,
always in the middle, always from the middle
undress yourself from all identities and you’ll touch this loud silence.
this secretive, secreting voices of an other world, always being created.
and here we are, and here it all is.
can we break open without breaking apart?

A hitchhiker's guide to the end of empire (Part 1)
Why does it seem impossible to escape or imagine a world beyond the logics and premises of capital?
What are these premises exactly and why are they inherently self-replicating and produce their own naturality?
How our use of language is a production machine that is deeply entangled with enforcing these logics and premises and constantly capturing and absorbing every creative and revolutionary impulse?
All of that and more in today's episode!

A cosmic giggle
What if the universe, existence, and your life have no meaning whatsoever? Does that terrify you or set you free?
In our increasingly more complex and uncertain world, a generational collective need for finding meaning only exacerbates, leaving us susceptible than ever to being manipulated by hegemony.
In this episode, we felt inspired to explore the incredibly liberating quality that can be found in facing the meaninglessness of existence through the mystical phenomena of the cosmic giggle. And how what is left when all beliefs and relative moral systems are stripped down is a directly observable ecological responsibility towards all the cycles of life we are part of.

Eros, Violence and the Body Without Organs
Eros, erotic aliveness, is a force that can be liberating, healing, and transformative, or, when suppressed, privatized, and hidden in the shadows, a force of violence, violation, and destruction.
In this episode, with the help of A'ida Shibli and the Patreon community here, I'd like to draw on the connection between Eros, the erotic side of the violence in Fascism, and the powerful liberatory side of the Erotics as a potent line of flight from systemic oppression.
We will venture into some of the darkest corners of the human psyche and our own inner fascist. Move with tenderness and care, and poetically ground everything in ideas from the works of Deleuze and Guatarri in 'Capitalism and Schizophrenia and Emergent Ecological Principles.

Trickster’s fun: Conspirituality, Armageddons, and Embracing Mystery
What’s common to bizarre conspiracy theories, new-age spiritualism, and the Neo-fascist pipeline?
Is there a connection between end-of-the-world prophecies and our current ecological realities?
Can we find non-linear, queer, meandering wisdom in the most absurdly nonsensical beliefs?
In today’s episode, we will explore all of that and more through the mythopoetic sense of the trickster archetype.

Death, Entanglement, and Individuation: How to be a Thriving Creature in a Collapsing World
Why do I think we should kill hope? Where did our collective denial of death originate? What’s the difference between individuality and individuation? And how is this all connected to our collapsing world? All of that and more in today’s episode.
We all have different relationships with what’s happening in the world; some of us gravitate towards denial, others depressed, while some feel incredibly angry, all of which are valid states of grief as we are feeling the world’s suffering in our bodies, whether we are aware of it or not.
But what if, as we move through the stages of grief all the way towards acceptance, something emerges? A fresh lens of anticipatory resoluteness and a genuine excitement to be alive and play a meaningful role in the world’s unfolding?
And what might that look like for you? Care to find out?

Water always finds their way home: A manual for vibrancy in the age of Moloch.
And what are we to do? And what are we to do?
What if this is not about progressing into something entirely new but rather remembering forgotten wisdom that already permeates in our cells, blood and bones?
What if the journey is challenging but a lot simpler than we think?
A paragon of possibilities rather than a set of problems needs solving.
What if there’s an actionable, embodied path to positioning oneself, community, and society as a joyful and active participant in the great unfolding of aliveness and in the liberation of all?
A manual for vibrancy in the midst of chaos. If you will.

Metabolism Of Liberation
Why are humans the only species that managed to see themselves as a separate element from the very ecology from which they emerged?
Why are we the only species, out of more than a quintillion species in this planet's history, that could individuate itself from its environment, at least experientially?
In this episode, we attempt to express a fresh, ecological, poetic, and imaginary vision of the way the world is right now and how we might find our place in it in a way that brings about liberation.

God is a poem
God. Allah. Yahawe. Bhagavān. Dao. Brahma.
Beloved. Holy Spirit. Shchina. Ruach Jakodesh. Nana Buluku. Rūḥ al-qudus.
These words, the names of God and holy spirits, and what they evoke in different people. For some, they are completely void and overused. Others are filled with the ecstatic nectar of devotional love, while many feel fear or awe. Which is it for you?
In this episode, I joined forces with one of my favorite eco-philosophers, Andreas Weber (https://humansandnature.org/andreas-weber/); together, we traversed the mystical ocean of the poetic realm within all beings.
As always, you'll experience angelic music and vocals by Kristen Meyers (https://www.instagram.com/kreatress_music/?hl=en), this time performing a magnificent piece from the saintly composer Hildegard of Bingen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildegard_of_Bingen).

How come one of the most historically oppressed groups turns out into a monstrosity of occupation, brutality, and military might?
How does collective shadow play collectively and individually in an endless cycle of the oppressed becoming the oppressor?
And what can you and I do to alchemize these shadows and bring about collective liberation?
That and more, we will explore in this episode and, as usual, do so playfully, poetically, and through the lens of evolutionary ecological wisdom.

Emergent Wisdom. A life boat at the end of civilization?
Hello, earth dweller; I am honored to welcome you to the first episode of the Emergent Wisdom project. Here, we explore current events and the challenges of the human experience through the lens of ecology and relatable mysticism. To bring about the internal and external liberation of all people, ecosystems, beings, and land. This is not a podcast, and I’m not your Guru. This is but a mutually transformative experiment of our aliveness, imagination, and revolutionary love for all there is. You and I, and the rest of us, are coming together to feel, play, and imagine as an offering of devotion at the altar of creation.
In this episode, we will lay the foundation of the Emergent Wisdom perspective and how we might turn to ecological, evolutionary wisdom to help us navigate the multidimensional and increasingly complex individual and collective existential challenges we are facing.
All the divine music and angelic voices you hear in this podcast belong to Kristen Meyers or Kreatress.
