Ep 91: The Nameless & What is Reality?
The Nameless & What is Reality?While it’s true we require some sense of what is or isn’t real for our basic survival and ability to navigate life, it can be significantly liberating and helpful to dip into philosophical notions around perception, reality and illusion.Creativity calls for expanded thinking and expression. We can’t do this very well when we’re wedded to a limited and limiting position about reality.In this episode I introduce a highly esoteric and ‘out there’ piece from the brilliant Sci-Fi author Roger Zelazny. Across a writing career spanning the last three decades of the last century, Zelazny picked up six Hugo awards and three Nebula awards.I share with you a stunning monologue delivered by his lead character Sam, from his cult classic Lord of Light (1967). Worth listening to more than once. And noticing how what is heard shifts and evolves with each listening. I recommend Roger Zelazny’s ‘Lord of Light’ available on Amazon:https://amzn.to/3mivu8RTo find out more about my work: https://yesyounow.todaySupport 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/

Ep 90: Robert D’Aubigny - The Spirit of Things & Assured Success
The Spirit of Things & Assured SuccessRobert D’Aubigny is an entrepreneur and investor. His main raison d'etre is creating organisations where the environment and corporate systems lead to personal growth. Much of Robert’s early life was spent working in and collaborating with alternative communities; studying the main streams of humanistic psychology under the tutorage of leading thinkers in the field. After exploring different approaches to personal development he created his first organisation The Exegesis Programme, a human potential development training. Listeners will have heard me singing the praises of Humanistic Psychology - and Exegesis in particular.Considered at the time to be wildly controversial, Exegesis attracted wide support, trained thousands of people and gave birth to an ‘alumni class’ who went on to experience great success, bring others along with them, and create commercial organisations that shared similar values and objectives. Robert is currently involved in a project to show SME's how authentic marketing can transform their business life, and generate exceptional results ~ when compared to conventional approaches with their unimpressive outcomes.Robert played a significant role in my development as a young adult. I was closely involved with Exegesis and the businesses that came out of it for almost 20 years, and this was quite an extraordinary personal growth experience! The learning culture Robert created was phenomenal, and Exegesis remains one of the best things I’ve ever done. Much of my current working practice and effectiveness is thanks to this extraordinary man. Not to mention my ability to live a good life.In this episode we explore The Spirit of Things … to quote Robert: “My guiding star has always been that the spirit of things must be present - all else is but a counterfeit of effort or pretence, and the path is marked by alibis. We can make anything work if we want to. But do we want to? I know that if I and my colleagues are true to this core value, success in any endeavour is assured.”Where you can contact Robert:rdaubigny@gmail.com+44 7552 278399Support 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/

In this episode I introduce the great M Scott Peck who researched and wrote about Community extensively in the 80s.I share with you the beautiful and very moving myth or legend The Rabbi’s Gift, drawn from Peck’s wonderful book The Different Drum (1987). The story contains within it some of the crucial principles for creating a thriving and sustainable community.

Ep 87: Organisations as Political Systems & The Sources of Power in Your Organisation
Organisations as Political Systems & The Sources of Power in Your OrganisationRe-introducing Gareth Morgan who gave us his marvellous book ‘Images of Organization’.Over several decades of working with clients who are making significant changes in their businesses, I’ve noticed that organisational interventions that are not specifically tailored to the organisation in question do not work. At best there’s some improvement but not as much as hoped. At worst damage is done and more money must be invested to make corrections.Gareth Morgan shows us several distinct windows into our organisations. Each one is of value in itself. The collection together offers the potential for deep understanding and in turn radically intelligent and well-informed decision making and interventions.In this episode I talk about ‘organisations as political systems’ and the sources of power in your organisation.

Ep 86: John Lloyd - Curiosity, Interestedness & The Meaning of Life
Curiosity, Interestedness & The Meaning of LifeLegendary multi–BAFTA Award winning producer John Lloyd CBE is the founder of QI and the producer of some of Britain’s best-loved TV shows. He is of the same opinion as Plato: unmitigated seriousness has no place in human affairs. On the other hand, he also likes A. N. Whitehead’s assertion that it’s more important for something to be interesting than true (although it’s more likely to be interesting if it is true).When it comes to producing and presenting comedic content, John Lloyd is unmatched. He is best known for his work on Blackadder, QI, Spitting Image, and as a presenter for BBC Radio 4’s The Museum of Curiosity. He has crafted a career that puts cheerfulness, kindness and creativity at the centre.John is a really interesting person and a lovely man. I first came across him at The QI Club in Oxford in 2005, where I was invited to consider ‘are you quite interesting?’ A great question! His insightful and delicately provocative take on life, curiosity and self-knowledge is inspiring. Someone to learn from for leaders today.Where you can find out more about John’s work:https://qi.comPodcast: There’s no such thing as a fishSupport 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/

Ep 84: Dan Howington - Divine Nature, Highest Intent & We Are Happiest When We Serve
Divine Nature, Highest Intent & We Are Happiest When We ServeAn accomplished strategic sales professional and leader, Dan has always been fascinated by human behaviour and the differences between those who are happy and successful and those who struggle.Dan realised it was his calling to help those who struggle with negative emotions and behaviours, to remember their highest intent, embrace their divine nature and rediscover their passion! Whatever we aspire to, whatever the life of our dreams looks like, it starts with understanding what success means to each of us, what truly makes us happy, where we struggle, and the willingness to take meaningful action. As leaders, we must help others align and elevate first, then create a culture of authenticity and empathy with our teams and organisations.I love the questions Dan has made it his business to explore … Why do we feel the ways we do and do the things we do? What keeps us from living the life we desire? Dan’s notion that we are happiest when we serve strikes me as insightful and life enhancing - especially for leaders today.Where to find Dan:Free VIA Character Strengths Survey: http://5forges.pro.viasurvey.orgLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danhowington/Business email: dan@5Forges.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/
