The second episode sees Gary and Oliver discuss the role of Archetypes in Spirituality particularly in relation to Men's work. Have we got stuck in a narrow field of exploring the apparently more male archetypes of the Warrior and King at the expense of the Lover and Magician? And what about the myriad of other Archetypal figures and forces available to us?

The start of a journey discussing and exploring the current state of Men's Therapy and Spirituality. Have we got stuck in a model of Masculinity defined by the Human Potential Movement and Counter Culture of the '70's and '80's? Is the limit of Male therapy and Spirituality 4 Archetypes, a Bonfire and getting in touch with our Grr? Where are the Men? particularly since COVID. Is there more and if so what's missing?

With Nicholas Rosseinsky

A (Very!) Rough Guide to the Cosmos! With Oliver Baum & Nicholas Rosseinsky

At least: this is how it currently seems to us! ...

Ground-of-Being, One-Being, Souls
Veils' tentative view begins at the most fundamental Reality-level. We see a Self-Sourcing Ground-of-Being, distinct from the True Self of Eastern non-dual traditions, but also very distinct from a punitive, patriarchal, anthropomorphic God.

The Ground is the deepest: there's nothing beyond. In Creation, the Ground replicates itself (in a non-separative way!), birthing the One-Being. The One (similar to True Self, Buddha Nature, Christ Consciousness, very loosely speaking!) has all the functions/capacities of the Ground. But the One differs in an absolutely-vital way: the Ground is self-Creating, self-Sourcing; the One is Created by the Ground.

Souls are then created (again in a non-separating way), when the One focuses in on each of its infinite aspects (each focus birthing a specific Soul), and then on the infinity-upon-infinity-upon-infinity of aspect-combinations (more Souls!).

The Ocean of Form-based Universes
Everything so far happens in a Formless way, meaning, without sound, shapes, texture etc. (For a metaphorical sketch of Formlessness, imagine a psychic communication of pure meaning, without words or images!)

But real-Reality (aka the Cosmos) is more than just the Formless realm. Amongst other things, there’s a limitless Ocean, in which every drop is itself a Form-based Universe (i.e. – in some cases – a Universe somewhat like ours!).

Enlightenment, real-Reality
We use ‘Enlightenment’ to label the eternal condition of real-Reality – non-separate, Absolutely Loving, Intelligent etc. Clearly (to most of us!) our Universe isn't in that condition! (E.g.: everything seems to be separate!) In fact, our Universe as typically experienced is displaced from the Cosmos, in a specific sense.

'What Went Wrong?!'
We use ‘alleged-Reality’ to describe a Dream-of-Separation that our Universe (unlike almost all others) can support. This Dream – an apparent departure from real-Reality – occurs because one or more Souls try to make themselves self-Creating, which Souls' innate other-Created nature just makes impossible.

Cosmic Glitch, Primal Wound
Souls’ insistence on impossibility leads to Splitting of their Will from the Ground's Will (simply: for Souls to be Free, Loving, Creators!), and to the Great AS/IF (‘Alleged Separation’/’Imagined Fall’). All this is a sort of 'Cosmic Glitch’, pre-dating the Big Bang – but still pervading our Universe, enabling a so-called Primal Wound (and all wounds, all suffering!).

The ARC, Veils, the Modern World
There's a solution to this Glitch, should it occur: the Agency-that-Restructures-Consciousness (‘ARC’). Ultimately, this is what we call on, to drop Veils, and birth Spirit into a Modern World hell-bent on insisting on the primacy of matter!
