Truth & Transcendence

Ready to step away from the dystopian narrative and into the realm of utopian visions? Aldous Huxley's less known but profoundly philosophical novel, Island, is a beautiful exploration of a utopian society and the ideals of humanity. This episode of Truth and Transcendence delves into the philosophical notions embedded in Island, inviting listeners to contemplate the best version of themselves and society at large. Through the skeptical eyes of a journalist, we examine the intricate dance of disbelief and acceptance of utopian ideologies. We'll also navigate the value of dystopia in illuminating our shadow selves, with a nod to Ursula Le Guin's Left Hand of Darkness, emphasising the importance of acknowledging both light and darkness in our lives. The episode concludes with a poignant extract from Island, shedding light on Huxley's deep-seated belief in the inherent compassion in us all.  I hope you enjoy this exploration of Huxley's enlightening work, where we ponder over humanity, culture, society, and our ultimate potential.Support the show===🤝 Join our Being Space Community✦ Podcast: https://truthandtranscendence.com✦ Website: https://beingspace.world✦ YouTube: / https://youtube.com/@BEINGSPACEcatherinellewellyn✦ Insta: / https://instagram.com/beingspace.world/✦ Facebook: / https://facebook.com/BeingSpaceWorld✦ TikTok: / https://tiktok.com/@beingspace.world______Donate: https://truthandtranscendence.com/donatePodcast network: https://joinpodmatch.com/catherinellewellynPodcast website: https://podpage.com/?via=truthandtranscendencePodcast coach: https://bestpodcastcoach.org/TruthandTranscendence/ref/2/Brain fitness: https://braingym.fitness/ref/3/VA: https://va.world/contact/ref/1/

Way of Being & the Macklin MethodRon realised early in his engineering career that he had a passion for building and leading teams. And he realised that to succeed, he needed to build a deep network of support. He needed to learn why people connect and how they create results together. This realisation led him on a 30-year journey that culminated in the creation of the 7-step Macklin Method and the launch of Macklin Connection. Ron earned a degree in engineering from Kansas State University and quickly grew into leadership positions in his budding career. Ron grew to lead teams that set nine world records and won dozens of customer satisfaction awards. At Siemens, for example, Ron led a support division with 350 employees that worked over 5 million hours without a lost-time injury and was voted “the best place to work in Houston” by the Houston Business Journal. Twice Ron has created a growth culture responsible for increasing profits by $20 million, and has led seven different groups from worst- to best-in-class. Today, Ron is the president of Macklin Connection, overseeing programmes and extending the reach of the organisation worldwide. He continues to lead programmes and coach teams and individuals. Ron had me at ‘Way of Being’!  Of course we’re affected by external factors.  But our way of being is our most powerful point of leverage when it comes to how we experience, perceive and respond to what’s happening around us and to us.  I enjoy Ron’s way of being.  Wonderful gravitas, centredness and calm as he leads us deep into territories of the self.  A man to learn from.Where to find Ron:For organisations: https://Macklinconnection.comFor individuals: https://macklinconnection.mn.coSupport the show===🤝 Join our Being Space Community✦ Podcast: https://truthandtranscendence.com✦ Website: https://beingspace.world✦ YouTube: / https://youtube.com/@BEINGSPACEcatherinellewellyn✦ Insta: / https://instagram.com/beingspace.world/✦ Facebook: / https://facebook.com/BeingSpaceWorld✦ TikTok: / https://tiktok.com/@beingspace.world______Donate: https://truthandtranscendence.com/donatePodcast network: https://joinpodmatch.com/catherinellewellynPodcast website: https://podpage.com/?via=truthandtranscendencePodcast coach: https://bestpodcastcoach.org/TruthandTranscendence/ref/2/Brain fitness: https://braingym.fitness/ref/3/VA: https://va.world/contact/ref/1/

Please Don't Funnel Me!Exploring the Impact of Funneling in Relationships: A Perspective on Conscious and Unconscious InfluencesHave you ever felt uncomfortably processed, like a mere statistic on a spreadsheet or an impersonal number on a list? That's how I began to feel with the increasingly popular strategy of funneling in relationships used by organisations. I've grown weary of this impersonal approach and have made the conscious decision to pull away from it. But how does this funneling affect our daily lives and decisions? I invite you to join me as we unravel this intriguing social and business phenomenon.As we venture into this candid exploration, we'll dive deep into the distinction between conscious and unconscious funneling in our relationships. How much of our choices are genuinely ours and how much are subtly influenced by these funneling processes? In addition, we'll address the prickly issue of unauthorized list additions. Although economic pressures may drive organisations to such tactics, we'll discuss the potential repercussions and impacts on the authenticity of relationships. Ultimately, the goal is to encourage mindful decision making, ensuring we uphold our dignity and foster authentic relationships amidst the pressures of our fast-paced world.Support the show===🤝 Join our Being Space Community✦ Podcast: https://truthandtranscendence.com✦ Website: https://beingspace.world✦ YouTube: / https://youtube.com/@BEINGSPACEcatherinellewellyn✦ Insta: / https://instagram.com/beingspace.world/✦ Facebook: / https://facebook.com/BeingSpaceWorld✦ TikTok: / https://tiktok.com/@beingspace.world______Donate: https://truthandtranscendence.com/donatePodcast network: https://joinpodmatch.com/catherinellewellynPodcast website: https://podpage.com/?via=truthandtranscendencePodcast coach: https://bestpodcastcoach.org/TruthandTranscendence/ref/2/Brain fitness: https://braingym.fitness/ref/3/VA: https://va.world/contact/ref/1/

Leading Through the Void & the Value of RetreatsMy friend and regular guest Thom Dennis of Serenity in Leadership is offering an extraordinary retreat experience in September.  Thom invited me to have a chat with him about it, as part of his 'spreading the word' activity.  We decided to take the opportunity to dive into a bit of a deeper discussion about the value of retreats in general, and why we both feel senior leaders do well to carve out time now and then for such experiences.If you're curious and would like to find out more about the Leading Through the Void Retreat, you can connect with Thom on LinkedIn, or check out the website:https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomdennis/https://leadingthroughthevoid.comSupport the show===🤝 Join our Being Space Community✦ Podcast: https://truthandtranscendence.com✦ Website: https://beingspace.world✦ YouTube: / https://youtube.com/@BEINGSPACEcatherinellewellyn✦ Insta: / https://instagram.com/beingspace.world/✦ Facebook: / https://facebook.com/BeingSpaceWorld✦ TikTok: / https://tiktok.com/@beingspace.world______Donate: https://truthandtranscendence.com/donatePodcast network: https://joinpodmatch.com/catherinellewellynPodcast website: https://podpage.com/?via=truthandtranscendencePodcast coach: https://bestpodcastcoach.org/TruthandTranscendence/ref/2/Brain fitness: https://braingym.fitness/ref/3/VA: https://va.world/contact/ref/1/

Finding our True Self & Bouncing Back from DisasterAt the age of 23 Danielle was hit by a drunk driver and sustained a life-altering injury to her brain. The medical world said there was no hope of recovery & told her to accept this life as her “new normal”.  Although her body was physically impaired, her spirit was strong & she refused to believe their diagnoses. Her mind was determined to recover…and she did! She is a testament to the concept of post traumatic growth and has since built an international business leading an organization that did $2.2 million in sales last year, authored an e-book called 'Mind Control: It's All In Your Head' and shares her life-altering experience with countless people around the globe.Danielle has a beautiful fresh approach to life that I find inspiring.  I wouldn’t wish what happened to her on anyone.  But perhaps we can learn something from Danielle about finding our True Self and transcending seemingly impossible odds.Where to find Danielle:https://danielle.teamasea.com/This website has a Contact Me button which will allow people to reach out directly to Danielle.She would also like to gift Truth & Transcendence listeners a free download of her e-book: MIND CONTROL: It's All In Your Head.https://brainbodyself.com/ebook/instagram _daniellematthews_Support the show===🤝 Join our Being Space Community✦ Podcast: https://truthandtranscendence.com✦ Website: https://beingspace.world✦ YouTube: / https://youtube.com/@BEINGSPACEcatherinellewellyn✦ Insta: / https://instagram.com/beingspace.world/✦ Facebook: / https://facebook.com/BeingSpaceWorld✦ TikTok: / https://tiktok.com/@beingspace.world______Donate: https://truthandtranscendence.com/donatePodcast network: https://joinpodmatch.com/catherinellewellynPodcast website: https://podpage.com/?via=truthandtranscendencePodcast coach: https://bestpodcastcoach.org/TruthandTranscendence/ref/2/Brain fitness: https://braingym.fitness/ref/3/VA: https://va.world/contact/ref/1/
