Mark Feenstra - The Inner Dimension of the Meta-Crisis
In this episode, I'm speaking with Mark Feenstra.

He, as much as anyone I’ve encountered, really lives the sort of inquiry that I’ve been attempting to embody on this show. Every time I speak with Mark I feel like I’m falling into some wormhole of understanding and coherence. Mark has an amazing ability to bring these topics down to earth without sacrificing the ambiguity and playfulness that is the lifeblood of beautiful conversation. We talk about: Shifting from a Game A to Game B mental operating system The fractal nature of the meta-crisis and how it lives within each of us What integrity really means (and whether a crisis of integrity at the heart of the meta-crisis) Whether the split between individual transformation and systems transformation is an artifact of Game A consciousness Why attempting to fix or heal the crisis is a red herring Integrity as an emergent property of coming into relationship with wholeness How noticing the lack of integrity is a proximal cause of integrity The relationship between integrity and omni-win decision making And the beautiful impossibility of true omni-win decision making Monastic Academy Awakened Leadership Bootcamp --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/emerge/support
