The YIS manifesto is finally done and public.

Today, the podcast event of the season, the return of Stace Barron to the podcast for a special series about paradigmatic entropy, the dangers of yin-in-service, how metaphysics isn’t only mind, and why you should want to learn metaphysics and not only how to open your heart.

This is the first members-only early release. To demonstrate the value of becoming a member, and because it’s fun for me to do, members get this episode 1 week earlier than everyone else. So if you’re hearing this and you’re not yet a member, there’s a bunch of members who are way ahead of you.

To address your fear of missing out on any future early releases, you could process that fear with an EBE facilitator, or, even easier, just become a member. It’s 5 bucks a month and you get to come to live podcasts every second Sunday of the month.

Thanks so much for listening!

Today, I’m joined by Eric Grace and our special guest, Frank, to discuss his journey of EBE which began way back in the days of 1.0. Topics include why the collapse of the first version of the paradigm was a good thing, cultic dynamics, how a paradigm can’t evolve if it’s protector mediated, how Sagehood and Personhood work can co-exist, the nature of healthy authority dynamics, and more.

And I have a secret. The podcast event of the season, episode 129 of the Heart of Soul with Stace Barron back in the saddle, is already dropped, but only for members. That’s right, podcast members got it early. The rest of you will have to wait until May 29 for this special episode where we do a deep dive into the overemphasis of yin and paradigmatic entropy. This is an important topic we’re doing a series on, so be looking for that.

Thanks very much to our podcast members. Our first second Sunday event was a hit. We had a great conversation about instinctual variants in enneagram type, the aforementioned excess yin issue, and a lot more. It was a beautiful and vulnerable conversation and I hope more of you will come next time.

Our next members-only second Sunday will be June 8, and we’d love to have you if you’re not already a member. If you want to support the podcast, the paradigm, and be part of cutting edge developments in Edenity in a two way conversation, and can spare 5 bucks a month please become a member. The deadline to become a member and be included in the next second Sunday is by the end of day Friday, two days prior.

Today, I’m joined by Casey Keth and Eric Grace to discuss the paradigms of Trillium and Waking Down, how narcissism and altruism are two sides of the same coin, and another exciting edition of Guess the Guru.

Today, I’m joined by Casey Keth and Eric Grace to discuss the wounded existential not-knowing, the loss of will, yin and yang in service, among other topics.

And I have a big announcement to make, we’re going to try something new. Our audience has been growing and we’re getting more and more questions, which we hugely appreciate…and I’m getting busier and the podcast is starting to feel a bit out of balance. Of course, we love doing it, but it does cost me money to host and about three hours per week of time. I think this podcast has provided an incredible amount of value at no cost whatsoever to the listeners and I’m proud of that, and I also want to even things out.

So I have two solutions we’ll try out. I’ve created an easy way for you to tip the podcast however much you want. And using the same link, you can become a podcast member for 5 dollars per month. What do you get as a podcast member? So glad you asked:

Obviously, the main thing you get is to support the paradigm and have the soul-level feeling of wholeness by paying a few bucks for the value you’re receiving. But you also get to participate in our new, monthly second Sunday live zoom broadcast. They’ll be held Sunday mornings Pacific time, so you folks in Europe can make it.

You can get reads, reframes, analyses, get your burning questions answered, and more. You’ll be part of the conversation as much as you want to be. Our first second Sunday event is May 11, 2025, so you have a little time to sign up before then. I think the value of this is way beyond five bucks a month, so I hope you’ll join us.

In addition, we may occasionally create members-only content in addition to that, and I will likely be reserving some of my funnier material for members-only contexts. For those of you who think I’m not nearly as funny as I think, that may be a downside, but I really think the second Sundays will be a beautiful coming together of like-hearted community that will make up for any of my failed comedic efforts.

Today, Eric Grace joins me again and we discuss what I learned from being bullied in a hardware store, the archetype of Freddy Krueger, overidentifying with compassion, stages of awakening, pseudo multiculturalism, and honestly so many other things I don’t even remember because I didn’t take notes.

And this will be my last plug for my new course that starts, April 17, 2025. It’s called The Art of Open Connection: Deep listening, insight and truth. If I’ve impressed you at all with my awareness and intelligence, I’ll let you in on something. I wasn’t always like this and it can be learned. It’s a function of relational curiosity, deep listening, and paradigmatic processing. This course will cover these topics and more, and I can help you see your blindspots to see what you’re missing. You’re invited to join and can learn more at courses.clearandopen.com/open-connection

Today, Edenity’s take on assisted suicide, in-vitro fertilization, dealing with conflict, and of course another installment of GTG.
