Becoming Conscious Becoming Cultural Architects w/ Eric Brown
Eric Brown is the steward of Phoenix Culture and an all-around fascinating dude. He’s on the leading edge culture design, creating systems for embodied awakening, and truly doing what it takes to combat the meaning crisis.
We Talk About:
* DAOs
* top-down and bottom-up stewardship
* Phoenix Culture
* the call to action for those who are willing to play the biggest game
* on designing and enacting a civilization-level transformation so that we can continue to play the human game
* a collective co-collaborative fusion of the mind and heart
* what does it take to show up and play the game?
* the self-actualized man as the scaffold to steward the collective
* what is stopping some people from showing up and playing?
* ie: ecology of practices
* artists as a way to steward the collective towards a bright future
* to re-enchant life and the globe
* to create compelling visions of the future
* the neccessity of them
* on re-aligning our collective with what we're actually trying to do
* success?
* being?
* heart?
* Top down control is unnatural.
* Create Self-Sovereign individuals ready to become Cultural Architects.
* Provide aspiring architects with thetools, technologies, training, culture, contexts, and support they need to continue their evolution and growth towards becoming Architects of Culture.
* ecologies of practices
* religious technologies
* the psycho-technologies, repeatable processes to allow us to transcend our mind and move into being
* these have been scattered and they are everywhere.
* phoenix culture = holistic ecology of psycho-technologies
* Hedonic Engineering: Building a Psycho-Spiritual Growth Stack
* pheonix culture as the generative step towards the emergence of new religions
* the religion of tomorrow - ken wilber
* a decentralized religion based on a new shared metaphysics
* the myth of the self made man
* we are all part of systems so how could we individually be the ones that created all our success
* what are we actually searching for?
* heart
* intuition
* trauma is a lack of completion of an energetic cycle in the body
* it's not conceptual whatsoever
* Listen to what life wants to do next. Listen to the calling of my heart. Listen to the rhythm of the cosmos. So I answered the call. I went to a river, sat down, and listened.
* on intuition and listening to the heart 👆
* the fear of death / social exclusion
* and this is entirely based on the definition that you have of yourself
* creative evolution
* on the fundamental nature of the creative evolutionary process
* as the fundamental process of life itself
* Emergence is not chaos. It’s creative evolution. 🧬
* open-ended questions
* what slowing down looks like?
* how do you steward the collective intelligence towards creative evolution on the individual and collective level within a DAO
