Voicing the Unvoiceable: Why Energy Healing Is So Un-PC

Mouththmb.jpg

At its finest, Bioenergetics is staggeringly improper, unwaveringly un-PC, wonderfully iconoclastic and warriorfully liberating. It asks clients to leap into emotional terrain they falsely believe to be off-limits, to move beyond their fear threshold, to connect with, and own, their own emotions as unredeemably dark as they might appear to be.

What's Too Weird for Wired? My Predictions for 2013

wiredthmb.jpg

Commissioned by Wired UK to write predictions for 2013, I focused on the rising transformational tribes, while carefully leaving out the more esoteric stuff. I figured this would fit in a venue that tracked Burning Man and Occupy. After they killed the piece, I questioned the value of "trend setting" media as well as my own ability to be a bridge to the mainstream. (more)

Top 10 Books of the New Edge

readingre.jpg

A generation of avant-garde writers are making conscious magazine headlines and electrifying the festival-speakers' circuit. Featuring a brutally honest look at the shadow self, and society at large, these books are not fluffy New Age reads. They are harder to define, hosting a multidimensional mix of spiritual awakening, new media activism, punk attitude, Burning Man aesthetic, and Occupy ideologies.  (more)

The Magic Mystery Healing Tour: Why E+SM Matters

JTPReading170.jpg

Society has completely failed us, given us information over wisdom, consumerism over community, false advertising over deeper healing.  Just about everyone I met in the Evolver Social Movement while on tour was working to transcend this situation, to create new, joyful models of coexistence, to live and share our gifts, to reconnect with the sacredness of nature, to be bearers of light as we face perhaps humanity’s darkest hour.

The First Extraterrestrial City on Earth

mantis180.jpg

“People have this tinfoil-spacesuit, 1950s idea of aliens, but the beings I saw were galactic bohemians, David Bowie–like art stars, flamboyantly androgynous healers, and outrageous alchemists. A lot of them had really cool tattoos. They come from advanced societies that have synthesized art and science, so they know how to have a good time." (more)

The Electric Jesus: Prologue

Electric_Jesusthmb2.jpg

“Had you told me a few years ago that I’d be here in Austin tonight talking with all of you about Jesus, aliens, and ayahuasca, I would have laughed my ass off.  As a cynical secular materialist, I scoffed at anything mystical.  I thought only direct political action made any real change in the world.  As you may have guessed, that perspective has been turned on its head.”  (more)

The Healing Power of Anger

Fistthmb.jpg

Many healers and seekers prefer the “spiritual bypass” when it comes to addressing anger.  But anger is a lot like fire.  Yes, it can burn and destroy, but it can also serve as an extraordinary evolutionary gift. Anger is power, personal power, and when merged with love, it can give us strength to do things we never would have imagined. (more)
