This episode is a summary of the main points related to Christology and the Holomovement. We continue to show how the current problems around Christianity stem from competing interpretations. To illustrate these points I have included a Theology Quiz! I’ve taken the idea from Sesame Street. They have a game entitled, “Which of these things is not l…

In this episode we wrap up our in depth look at sin. Sin was a specific condition that was dependent on law. So questions have to be answered. How can sin no longer exist but yet right and wrong do? What is sin beyond right and wrong? Why is the understanding of sin necessary to understanding doing and being? Why do fundamentalist Christians exist?…

We continue our discussion about Law and Grace in this episode. Law and grace is a very confusing story when one interprets Christology as a religion. And at the center of any discussion of the Law is the concept of sin. Sin is part of the language of the first covenant/world. Sin has a specific meaning related to the Biblical Narrative. We will di…

We are in the middle of a discussion based on a trans-disciplinary approach to the interpretation of the Biblical Narrative. The series is comparing the Quantum Physics findings about our universe with regard to the Holomovement with the Biblical Narrative. We are proposing that the cosmology of our universe aligns beautifully with Biblical cosmolo…

We continue to compare the new scientific discoveries related to our universe with our approach to a Christology that results in a Post Christian, Trans-religious outcome. The universe is the first story told by God. We propose that the Biblical Narrative mirrors and aligns with that story. Therefore the principles in our own universe provide a tra…

We are continuing our series comparing the cosmology of our universe with Biblical cosmology. The next few episodes will focus on one of the most confusing teachings of the world religion Christianity. I’m referring to the concepts of law and grace. At first glance one might wonder what our universe and the Biblical Narrative have in common on this…

What does the explicate order of our universe as defined by Quantum Physics have to do with the Biblical Narrative? We continue our series by looking at the in-forming movement that led to the form-ation our universe. This story aligns beautifully with the Biblical version of God’s creative action. Today we look at the realm of form(s) in Biblical …

**In continuing our series on the Biblical Narrative as holomovement, I'm recommending you watch the video presentation as it includes 5 diagrams that will be helpful to see as you hear the information. Link to YouTube HERE. In this episode we continue to address the power of convergence. Our proposal is that science is now telling us that the holo…

In this series I propose that the holomovement is nothing less than the creative nature of God. Further, I am proposing that when you align the holomovement elements with the Biblical Narrative it provides validation for our ongoing message of universal God identity. This week I'm honored to have Jude Currivan as my guest today. Dr Jude Currivan is…

In this series I propose that the holomovement is nothing less than the creative nature of God. Further, I am proposing that when you align the holomovement elements with the Biblical Narrative it provides validation for our ongoing message of universal God identity. The link to view this on YouTube is HERE.…

Today’s podcast is an update on another exciting project. The field of convergence is revealing the importance of unified approaches that lead to global unity. Science and Spirituality is an example. Presence has already shown how the historical model of Spiral Dynamics validates our approach to the interpretation of the Biblical Narrative. Now we …

It is becoming more and more clear that something different is happening. A paradigm shift like no other before is now in process. It radically reframes long held views that have now become unworkable. In this episode I describe the Nomad podcast experience with Tim Nash. Link to video cast interview for World Unity Week. Along with Patrick Carolan…

In this podcast episode I discuss the latest news with regard to the major paradigm shifts manifesting around the globe. A new book is now available, The Holomovement; Embracing Our Collective Purpose To Unite Humanity.” I’m honored to have a small part in this collection of essays from leaders representing numerous diverse fields of study and rese…

We’re dedicating this podcast to the life and legacy of Max R. King. On behalf of our family I thank all of you who reached out with such kind words of support. Many of you have shared the impact his work has had in your lives. I couldn’t mention all of you by name but you must know that you were so meaningful to his work. Please also know that I w…

Doug King of https://www.presence.tv interviews Dr. Riane Eisler. Dr. Eisler pioneers-- through her multidisciplinary “Four Cornerstones” approach-- our urgently needed global transition from domination-- to partnership-- models and consciousness (https://centerforpartnership.org/). Her iconic books include The Chalice and the Blade, now in 57 U.S.…

We continue our Global Conversation regarding the movement from Dominator Hierarchies to Partnership Societies and families. In this episode I want to discuss this subject regarding gender in the Biblical Narrative and the religion of Christianity historically. So let’s do some theology. Tracking through the Narrative, the creation story culminates…

In my podcast today I set the stage for this series by giving my observations about the current landscape of Christianity and why there is a new paradigm shift that’s gaining significant energy and excitement as we move into the trans-religious era of history. I’ll also tell you a little about Riane Eisler, an amazing woman who is 91 years young an…

I am excited and pleased to announce that I will be joining Dr. Sheri Kling, Director of Process and Faith in a 6 weeks course beginning September 13th. Process and Faith operates as part of the Cobb Institute and has considerable influence in the field of theology. The course is entitled: The Biblical Narrative and Universal God Identity; Integral…

We end our series on Regeneration and its various concepts and implications regarding God identity. Judgment is at the foundation of a dysfunctional God story. It’s time to grow in our understanding of that which holds all things together.

The implications of God’s regenerative work are dramatic. Human identity is at stake. We’ve spent time talking about the 2 creations and their paradigms of consciousness. One creation produced bondage to sin and death while the new creation delivered humanity from sin and death. The first creation had last days and came to an end. That’s because si…

We continue to dig deep into our ancestral roots of identity. The act of regeneration was a process that transformed all things. One of the confusing issues around this discussion relates to sin and death. Why did Paul tell the Gentiles that sin and death were going to be removed when the Deliverer came out of Zion? The Gentiles thought the regener…

This episode is about the relationship of judgment to that of love and acceptance. The Gentiles in Rome thought the judgment of God was a process of separating human beings. Paul goes to great lengths to show judgment as that which reveals the basis upon which all are regenerated. The separation of self as source from Spirit as source was the neces…

One of the major themes of the God story, handed down for the last 2,000 years, is judgment. We continue to look at what we’ve done with our understanding of God identity as it relates to judgment. When Christology is made into a religious form its boundaries must be policed. The focus of our thinking becomes tribalistic- who’s in, who’s out? This,…

Regeneration is the process of identity transformation. Our human family first understood identity from a tribal or genealogical point of view. Any encounter with tribes who were different brought conflict and even war. Integral thinkers are now pointing to a movement from ethnocentric to world-centric identity. But this world-centric or integrativ…

In this episode we continue to look at the relationship between Regeneration and Judgment. The subject of judgment has been a very confusing one through the ages. We discuss the role and function of judgment and why it was necessary to the process of regeneration. We also begin to look at the other side of the reconciliatory process- acceptance.…

In this 4th episode in the Regeneration series we incorporate the principles of judgment as taught by Jesus with relation to regeneration. What is the role of judgment in the Narrative? How can we be in a new heaven and earth when there are those who do not belong? And who decides (judges) those accepted and those who are not? We will begin by look…

This is episode 3 in our series on The Biblical Narrative, Integral Consciousness and Regeneration. The importance of world-centric thinking is showing itself in the Russian invasion of the Ukraine. All separation thinking leads to discrimination and denomination. The Narrative is a story of the evolution or growth of integral conscious (God as all…

The global conversation is happening and synergy groups are formulating a new unitive narrative based on world-centric thinking. All fields of study are joining in and this has led to a movement of convergence. But does the Biblical Narrative affirm the principles being put forth by science, art, technology, economics, education and many more? Or d…

This first episode in this series compares the current narrative of Integral Consciousness with the Biblical Narrative. There’s a big discussion going on about the concept of convergence. More and more people are seeing something exciting amid the chaos. It seems that science, art, technology, education etc. are coming together to create a new unit…

Presence is announcing our induction into Evolutionary Leaders. This is a big step forward in the acceptance and promotion of our integral approach to the Biblical Narrative. Evolutionary Leaders is a movement founded by Deepak Chopra, Maryanne Williamson, Deborah Moldow, Diane Williams and others as a subset of the Source of Synergy Foundation. It…

In this podcast I’m going to take an integral look at the role and function of disruption. I was inspired to talk about this as I read the book, “Rethinking Humanity” by James Arbib and Tony Seba. The same principles of disruption that were at work in the first century, cataclysmic end of one world and the manifestation of a new creation are now ha…

We continue our global conversations with Deborah Moldow in this episode. Rev. Deborah Moldow has had an amazing journey from child TV actor to the Broadway stage to the United Nations and beyond. Deborah is founder of Garden of Light, a nonprofit for those aligned with emerging global spirituality. Deborah served more than 20 years as representati…

If God is truly all in all we must seek the God in all people. For millennia people have sought to know the transcendent. We come from the Biblical narrative but that narrative was never meant to be hid under the form of the Christian religion. Christians talk to Christians. Denominations read books that are written for their denominations. All of …

Do God experiences only happen to this who read the Bible? If Christology is Trans-form what about the role and function of narratives? If a narrative is trans-form it’s about that to which the narrative points. The narrative points away from itself as Christ pointed away from himself and the Body pointed away from themselves—to GOD. I use the bibl…

We are going into episode 2 of our series, “Christianity is Declining and It’s About Time.” We continue our discussion around the statistics of this decline and the numerous podcasters, videos and groups who are deconstructing faith and religion. #Deconstructingfaith #DeconstructingReligion #Christianity #Eschatology #Churchstatistics #Religion #Ch…

We’re setting the stage for all of the deconstruction conversations, podcasts and writing around the decline of Christianity. We are proposing that it’s about time from multiple perspectives. We’ll look at the historical times that got us to where we are today. We’ll look at why the model of Spiral Dynamics is all about time. And we offer an altern…

EPISODE 3 OF GLORIOUS FREEDOM In this 3rd episode of Glorious Freedom we conclude our thoughts on the life conditions of our time. We return to the Biblical Narrative as a guide for the challenges of growth into a new way of thinking and understanding. The first century of transformation was bringing about a new way of seeing God identity. But the …

In episode 2 of Glorious Freedom I continue to look at our current life conditions in the numerous ways they compare with first century life conditions. Our life conditions create reactions and responses that produce feelings. So each episode is asking, “what are you feeling today?” The setting for the first century dealt with the transformation of…

In this episode I want to talk with you about leaving the structure of religion. Humans have always experienced their beliefs in God(s) via external structures or sacred objects. Israel was warned many times about the problems with idols. The evolution of spiritual consciousness has also been tied to temples, shrines, cathedrals, mosques etc. For t…

The Passion for For type 1s is ANGER. Type 1s are often called the Reformers and hold themselves to very high standards which is a good quality, right? SO…the deceitfulness of the passions is that it seems GOOD to be conscientious and ethical, with a strong sense of right and wrong. And being ANGRY goes against what seems to be GOOD. So they resist…

As we continue to look at the deceitfulness of good through the enneagram perspectives we see how the passion, which comes from the latin word 'passeo' which means 'to suffer', of each type is tied to an attempt to resist the suffering by doing good. But, in the words of Carl Jung, what you resist not only persists, but will grow in size. When we r…

Denée and I continue our series on the “Deceitfulness of Good” coming from the perspective of the individual as understood through the use of the Enneagram. I really like the Enneagram as a way of understanding spiritual growth in every day life. If our study does not provide tools for looking inward at our own personal journey, we are not going to…

We return to the podcast world today in a new series I’m doing with Denée! The topic is the Deceitfulness of Good. We’re approaching this subject from multiple perspectives. Denée will be coming form the 9 perspectives of the Enneagram and I will be coming from theology and world religion using the Spiral. The human being is so complex in our make …

"The success of humanity's evolution will not be determined by "survival of the fittest," but by our own capacity to converge and unify" -- Pierre Teilhard de Chardin Central to the integration theme of The Ambient Christ is harmonizing the creation/evolution stories together as one, (a) for future generations, (b) to round-out the gospel story by …

Both science and world religions agree that a unified field exists in the cosmos that holds everything together. In fact, the word Universe means “a reality turning around on one thing. Yet paradoxically, both disciplines offer different stories about the mystery of that one thing, the Creation Story (religion) and the Evolution Story (science). In…

In episode 2 we begin to dig deeper into the common threads and connections between science and spirituality. Here are some thoughts from author Joe Masterleo: From small beginnings, God makes things that make other, more complex things. Like a tiny mustard seed, all created things uncoil and evolve from an invisible dynamic center point at their i…

This is the first episode in our series and I’m very excited to explore an integral approach to this subject. We begin by talking with Joe Masterleo, author of “Ambient Christ.” His book looks at the ways both science and spirituality are converging. The book goes in depth on models of science that point to a universal field that holds all things t…

The Trinity is at the heart of most Christian denominations. In fact, it is one of their most important creeds or doctrines. But humans are becoming tired of religious dogma and creed. This approach to Christology is no longer satisfying to people and we’ll explain why. An integral approach to Christology always recognizes its two-fold nature. Chri…

We have examined the Christian creed of the Trinity as it has been handed down since the earliest centuries. Our previous episode focused on the historical decisions that affected this doctrine beginning with the Roman Empire. In this episode we discuss the Trinity from the Biblical Narrative. Our integral approach to the Narrative interprets Ident…

In this second episode Cody and I discuss the historical context of the Trinity. Spiral Dynamics informs us regarding the Traditional level of consciousness which dominated during the Roman empire. In the Traditional era a person did not question authority. So no one could question the Caesar who represented ultimate authority. The empire saw Chris…
