Where to Go: Bayo Akomolafe

Where to go when the highway no longer leads to interesting places?

This talk is about what Bayo calls “ontofugitivity”: how things go astray, and how sedentary modern knowledges and expectations are being upset by the shocking performativity or fluidity of stability.

The talk is about the COVID-19 phenomenon, climate collapse, Yoruba indigenous contributions, the weird and modest politics of making sanctuary in light of the failures of neoliberalism and the dangers of progressivism, and the promise of descent.

The invitation of this talk is the call to go fugitive, to cultivate a federation of fugitive sharings – not as a way to deepen our sense of control, and not with an eye for “alignment”, but because we are exhausted and cannot keep reinforcing the web of relations we succinctly call “the human”.

It’s Alive, But Is It Life: Synthetic Biology and the Future of Creation

For decades, biologists have read and edited DNA, the code of life. Revolutionary developments are giving scientists the power to write it. Instead of tinkering with existing life forms, synthetic biologists may be on the verge of writing the DNA of a living organism from scratch. In the next decade, according to some, we may even see the first synthetic human genome. Join a distinguished group of synthetic biologists, geneticists and bioengineers who are edging closer to breathing life into matter.

(2019) The Awakening of Gaia | A Life Changing Documentary by David Al-Badri

This is the first instalment of the Awakening Documentaries. No one can be told what the Matrix is, you have to see it for yourself. We are all connected. The same material that make up our bodies come from the Earth, which in turn came from the universe. The crisis that humanity faces is a direct result of severing our connection to The Earth. Severing our connection to the Source. Allowing the corrupt ruling elite to remain in power as they manipulate us to compete with one another. We must awaken from our indoctrination as a species in order to redesign human civilization.

Many Minds, One Self: Evidence for a Radical Shift in Paradigm- by Richard C. Schwartz, Robert R. Falconer (book)

In Many Minds, One Self, Richard Schwartz, the developer of Internal Family SystemsSM, and Robert Falconer challenge the notion that we each have one mind from which emanate various thoughts, emotions, images, impulses, and urges. Although we were all raised in this mono-mind paradigm, it is an illusion because the mind is naturally multiple, containing an inner family of sub-personalities. Evidence for this comes from a wide variety of sources from thousands of years ago to the present. Each of us also contains an undamaged healing essence—the Self, which virtually every spiritual and shamanic tradition has discovered. Schwartz and Falconer chronicle this widespread evidence and present a compelling argument for the potential of this groundbreaking paradigm shift to bring harmony, connection, and positive leadership to the distresses of our planet.

Letting go of “I, Me, Mine”: Gary Weber

Gary Weber discusses his techniques and perspectives on meditation, presence, and allowing. He talks about his own awakening, the “default mode network”, the collection of “I’s” collapsing into the present moment, persistent Nonduality, psychedelics, the evolution of thinking, and has thinking in the modern-day human outlived its purpose?
