IS IDEALISM ENOUGH?

[Is Idealism Enough?

A dialogue between Bernardo Kastrup and Rupert Sheldrake](https://paricenter.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=73647ab0762e1517c63abb375&id=5354a11fc5&e=28f0f61dd3)

Curated and Mediated by Àlex Gómez-Marín

Tuesday January 21

9:00am PST 12:00pm EST 5:00pm GMT 6:00pm CET

This event is LIVE and FREE. All registered participants will receive the RECORDING.

Rupert Sheldrake recently made a series of criticisms of Bernardo Kastrup’s Analytic Idealism on Curt Jaimungal’s Theories of Everything channel. Kastrup soon responded to Rupert’s points and subsequently Rupert sent Kastrup a rejoinder. Here, in a spirit of true collegiality and intellectual pursuit, we will turn this clash into an opportunity to better understand each other’s position and inquire further into the nature of reality itself. The trialogue between Kastrup, Sheldrake, and Gomez-Marin will be followed by Q&A from the audience.

THE POWER OF ACTIVE DREAMING

Starts February 13

on The Shift Network

Greetings Dear Dreamer,

I hope you’ll join me for The Power of Active Dreaming, my new 7-week course on The Shift Network that starts on Thursday, February 13.

Every dream is a doorway — walk through it to claim the magic waiting for you on the other side. Active dreaming offers you the chance to unlock the power of your inner wisdom and bring wonder, clarity, and purpose back into your waking world.

Through Active Dreaming, you can create a life where magic feels tangible, synchronicity illuminates your path, and deep connection to something greater grounds your every step.

During this 7-week live video course, you will:

  • Break through dream droughts and reclaim your lost dreams to bring magic into your waking life
  • Grow your own Tree of Vision as a sanctuary for meeting spiritual allies and sparking lucid dream adventures
  • Participate in Robert’s Lightning Dreamwork game to share dreams, get actionable insights, and unleash your creativity
  • Connect with animal guardians and spiritual teachers to find guidance, protection, and renewed energy
  • Communicate with departed loved ones to heal, gain closure, and receive wisdom from your soul family
  • Travel to past, future, and parallel realities to reshape your life with the knowledge your dreams reveal
  • Tap into your dreams’ diagnostic power to heal body, mind, and spirit using vivid imagery and active imagination
  • Spot and act on synchronicities to navigate life like a kairomancer, turning everyday moments into opportunities for magic and meaning
  • And much more


In this course, you will learn the skills and competencies you’ll need to successfully access the wisdom of your dreams to gain clarity, connect with spiritual allies, and create positive change in your waking life.

Registrants also receive two special bonus recordings: --Lucid Dreaming & the Elixir of Sleep: A Video Dialogue With Robert Moss and Clare Johnson

–Secrets of the Ancient Dream Shamans: Video Lecture by Robert Moss

" Hi Friends,

I’m in the final few days of training before I spend 4 nights in Northwestern University’s neuroscience sleep lab.

It’s already been a valuable opportunity to confront my own fears, outcome dependence, and resistance (yay
 😆)

One of the “Lucidity Boosts” I’m LOVING is this episode from one of my favorite podcasts - The Emerald (for those who haven’t discovered this yet
 you’re welcome).

It’s called: (Why Mindfulness Isn’t Enough) and is a valuable, moving exploration into the importance of context with practice.

“Extracted from context, freed from ethics and the heart connection to other beings, mindfulness can exacerbate isolated individualism.”

I’ll put my hand up right away and say that “interconnectedness” to all beings has been one of the last things to come online for me. It took years of practice before I felt my heart begin to sincerely open to this truth.

I was raised as a radically “individual” person (in a radically materialistic culture) and the idea of being connected was terrifying to me.

It felt insane to open my heart and connect to this whole, wide, crazy hurting world


I’m sure you’ve felt the same at some point or another
 maybe even now, in these “dynamic” times?

But listen to this podcast. Hear it not just with your mind, but with your heart. And let’s collectively lower our individual guards just a little more together. đŸ©”

“
it turns out that the animate, ritual context is profoundly important for shaping and architecting relational minds, and post-modern minds — free of context, already fractured from relational connectivity, left to simply ‘sit with what is’ or left to focus on individual optimization at the expense of relationality — may not benefit or be able to assimilate the power of such practices.”

I know this year, I have been weaving much more ritual into my practice. Not for dogmatic reasons, but because I can feel the interrelated power of it. Especially for the dreaming mind


Next week I’ll do my best to share a little of how it’s going onsite at the lab! Wish me luck!

Warmest,

Mia"

The scientific study of psychic (or PSI) phenomena –which includes extrasensory perception, precognition, synchronicity, direct mind-to-mind communication, or mind-matter interactions– has been going on for more than a century now. Its results are fascinating, puzzling, and often controversial. In this event some of the greatest active researchers in the field will present their own work while reflecting on where PSI has been, where we think it is now, and where we wish it to go. We hope to create an unprecedented audiovisual gathering for current and future generations to get perspective, clarity, and inspiration.
