SUE Speaks Podcast: Searching for Unity in Everything

17 | HEYPIN IM – Founder of FACE, Faith and Community Empowerment

Shownotes Timothy Shriver is married, a father of five, the Chairman of Special Olympics International, and co-founder of UNITE, “an initiative to promote national unity and solidarity across differences.” Tim began his career as an educator and subsequently co-founded and currently chairs the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL), the leading school reform organization in the field of social and emotional learning. He earned his undergraduate degree from Yale University, a Master's degree from Catholic University, and a Doctorate in Education from the University of Connecticut. He has produced 6 films, is the author of The New York Times bestseller, Fully Alive – Discovering What Matters Most, and is co-editor of THE CALL TO UNITE: Voices of Hope and Awakening. He’s an inspirational speaker, even called “an evangelist” in the bio that’s on a speakers’ bureau that presents him for talks to corporate leaders.THE CALL TO UNITE: Voices of Hope and Awakening Tim’s website – Join his call. Read this wonderful article about him Tim's mission: “My work is to welcome the beauty within myself and to encourage people to see it within themselves and within everyone else, too.” Tim’s one-line message to the world: “This is our time. This is a moment of great opportunity for change, a hopeful change, a healing change. Have faith in yourself, have faith in others. As many times as you may have been discouraged and as many times as you may have been disappointed by others, try again.” The SUE Speaks BLOG Post about Tim Shriver Talking points from this episode Doing things for creativity instead of for competition Tension and brokenness between us threatens the future of us. A spiritual crisis. Hungering for something bigger than ourselves, to feel respect and belonging between us, for truth, beauty, goodness, and love. Value not measured in clicks. The power of our mission to motivate and transform the world. We don’t survive without a connection to one another and to the whole. Individualism is killing us, addicting us, creating violence between us. Need for stories that remind us that we’re here for each other. Fine to want financial success. Danger when it’s solo: heroine loneliness, heart breaking anxiety and soul crushing despair. If we know the problem we can solve it. Tim’s parents, Eunice Kennedy and Sargent Shriver, created organizations that healed divisions. The Special Olympics, the Peace Corps, and more. Patterns that bring things together. Yes to that small group of committed citizens — willing to take a stand. We need ideas. Presidency in his future? Politics doesn’t reward what he holds dear. Oprah’s piece in his book about countries having an inner life, and it’s our dark night of the soul now, the loss of foundations. No scapegoats, common enemies, us and them. Not finding meaning in the hatred of others. Need a story that includes everyone, a sense of belonging without a sense of exclusion and without demonizing anyone. Idea of uniting against a common enemy. COVID didn’t do it. What’s the new normal? Not the old. UBI? Role for billionaires? Hard work of deep change. Set the intention and challenge people to come up with solutions. The intention of compassion and respect for one another in a future where everyone belongs.

Shownotes Richard Grossinger, the founding publisher of North Atlantic Books, received a BA from Amherst College and a PhD in anthropology from the University of Michigan. Writing with literary sensibility, he is the author of some 40 books. His writing can be divided into three overlapping categories: general experimental prose; books on science topics viewed historically, cross-culturally, epistemologically, esoterically, and in terms of pop culture; and autobiographical memoirs. The books range from long explorations of science, culture, and spirituality (The Night Sky: Soul and Cosmos, Planet Medicine, Embryogenesis: Species, Gender, and Identity), to memoirs (New Moon, Out of Babylon), to experimental prose (Book of the Earth and Sky, Spaces Wild and Tame), and science fiction (Mars: A Science Fiction Vision). Bottoming Out the Universe: Why There Is Something Rather Than Nothing will be published by Inner Traditions in April. He and Lindy Hough are the parents of Robin Grossinger, an environmental scientist working on urban redesign under climate change, and Miranda July, a multimedia artist and Hollywood indy director. Richard Grossinger website Richard's mission: “I think I'm here to face the shadow-self, with an opportunity to transform something outside of time and space. More and more, I believe that life is a matter of honoring the mystery, while not knowing quite what your mission is. The trick is to stay true to it amid all the paradoxes and counterintuitive paths, and to not get swept up in any of the unintegrated realms of myth and spirit.” Richard's one-line message to the world:  "I’m not much for one-liners of any sort, especially in a sound-bite culture, but I was thinking today that when Rodney King said, 'Why can’t we all just get along?' it sounded naïve, sweet, and a tad disingenuous, but now, so soon after, it sounds like a voice from another universe, and that’s not good given the challenge the universe is putting before our planet and species." The SUE Speaks Blog Post about Richard Grossinger Talking points from this episode Richard’s early influences of being thrust into the shadow and of the occult Brian Swimme (our previous podcast guest) applauds Richard’s recent rewrite of The Night Sky: "Richard Grossinger's new book, The Night Sky, should be heralded as the publishing event of the decade. This is a book that has the power to change your relationship to the universe. I would even say it has the potentiality to participate in the evocation of a new civilization. You should know from the start that it is not an easy read, and I am not referring to the cutting edge science which is all presented with great clarity. In fact, the real difficulty in reading The Night Sky is directly related to its power, for to understand Grossinger's vision of the universe one needs to open up the soul in ways that have been forgotten, ignored, and even explicitly oppressed by Western civilization for over 400 years now. "Let me make a prediction. In the far future, when humanity has found its way beyond our present hyper destructive industrial form of society, and when historians are looking back on the 21st century to identify the crucial events that showed the way, The Night Sky will be very high on their list. I especially hope the young creative personalities of our time find their way here. To them I make one more prediction. You will have a wide range of experiences as you read. Sometimes you will be thrilled by the energies and structures of the universe, sometimes you will simply marvel at how much our contemporary sciences have discovered, sometimes you will be confused by the wide range of experiences and interpretations offered, sometimes you will argue against the vision in the book, sometimes you will argue for, but most of all as you swim about in The Night Sky you will find yourself exploding with new ideas, your own fresh ideas, new ideas sparked into existence by your interact...

Shownotes Brian Thomas Swimme is Director of the Center for the Story of the Universe and a professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. He received his Ph.D. from the Department of Mathematics at the University of Oregon in 1978 for work in gravitational dynamics. He brings the context of story to our understanding of the 13.7 billion year trajectory of the universe - a story that he feels will assist in the emergence of a flourishing Earth community. Swimme is the author of The Universe is a Green Dragon and The Hidden Heart of the Cosmos, which he just has rewritten to bring it up to modern speed. He is co-author of The Universe Story, which is the result of a ten year collaboration with cultural historian, Thomas Berry. He is the creator of three educational video series: Canticle to the Cosmos, The Earth’s Imagination, and The Powers of the Universe. He co-wrote and hosted Journey of the Universe, a 60-minute film broadcast on PBS television stations nationwide. Journey of the Universe won the Northern California regional Emmy for Best Documentary of 2011. He lectures widely and has presented at conferences sponsored by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, The World Bank, UNESCO, The United Nations Millennium Peace Summit, and the American Museum of Natural History.Brian Swimme website Brian's mission:  "I’m on a mission to teach humans that we are a 14 billion year creative process. That’s who we are in a primary sense. We also are male and female and the rest of it, but those are secondary. Every person, every animal, every rock, everything is a mode of a 14 billion year creative process." Brian's one-line message to the world: "If I’m talking to the world of listeners, isn’t it wonderful to be in the sphere of influence of Suzanne, who, if we imitated, we would transform the planet into a wonderful place? It’s wonderful to think that if everyone were like you, Suzanne, we would be in paradise. We’re close to that big turnaround moment.” The SUE Speaks Blog Post about Brian Swimme Talking points from this episode The Universe is a Green Dragon as a definitive story of the universe​ Thomas Berry​ ​- cultural historian and mentor to Brian The disaster of the switch from the universe as primary to humans being the central focus. "Our scientific enterprise effectively decoupled itself from our humanistic spiritual tradition” as “the most terrifying pathology in the history of humanity." The human form of cosmic dynamics The misguidedness of our time lets us see the deep forces of how we use and abuse Earth Annihilation of species is a natural order of the universe Death as a motivator to make our lives meaningful The beauty of the stars inspired Brian's life After incremental changes we could be getting close to crossing a threshold to where love will take over The Journey of the Universe, Brian’s award-winning PBS documentary Pierre Teilhard de Chardin introduced the idea of humans becoming the planetary mind
