Stein makes it look like he has something so "new" and "miraculous" and he is going to inspire "hope" (an often repeated word in his lexicon and that of his book endorsers). Btw, I as a critical integralist philosopher of education gave up on hope long ago for a much better concept of "fearlessness" (for 21st century…
Curious what you all think of this meta-theory (aka integral meta-theory) of learning?

Throughout my 50 years of teaching, adults and children and teens, I am always thinking of ways to 'awaken' the habitual and passive mind that has got stuck in its grooves of what to expect in…
Love: A Fearlessness Perspective
I just found this quote the other day by an eminent artist-existential philosopher and important voice in the history of discussion about "what is love?" and what is the role of love. Not all may agree with Camus. But can we understand Camus intelligently and with critical reflection and making arguments about this quote? I leave it here as a FORUM prompt for us all. My impression of the quote is that it speaks a lot of (dialectical) truth. Now, what does dialectical mean? It is a methodology…

"Fearless Movement" (for those battling epilepsy)
Interesting to see how "Fearlessness" (as a movement) can take various forms, with various fear management paradigms, and interests.

A Meditation To Dispel Fear I’d like to provide a little handcrafted meditation that I use to dispel fear. Try it out! —- Sit comfortably and relaxed with eyes closed. Breathe naturally. Imagine yourself submerged under the surface of a vast ocean. Take a few moments to notice the current. It may be strong or it may be calm. Simply take notice and allow the water to carry you without resistance. Sit with this for a while until youve reached a point of comfort and calm. Now, take note of the…
Read more…God Cares About Fear
[Note: I wrote this draft some 5 years ago or more... it was stored on "MY Page" here, so decided to make it a Forum piece, today. It is incomplete...] God Cares About the Role of Fear You can see I am on a roll with this theme, of who (what) cares about the role of fear. It seems a basic way to bring the philosophical, theological, theoretical and practical issues of a big part of the Fearlessness Movement to the table. Inviting engagement in this discussion, one that societies do not…

A curious talk here on the temple of Love vs. the temple of Hate, call it what you will, as the speaker says in this Tik Tok message, "it is a Cosmic Battle" (in the spirtual-psychic realm) beyond any materialist or cultural ethnic group or…

"Hi Mmabatho.
Your concerns here are familiar to me, at least intellectually. A "metapsychology" would overcome (theoretically) any or most of the concerns you share. At some point, in my development I have to confront the Western lens that shapes…"

Since I have been posting a little on the FM ning, and making a video on my interest in developing and teaching "Metapsychology," I thought I probably need to map out my own vision of where Psychology has come and gone, how it has developed…
