I am fresh back from attending two diametrically different conferences. The first being the Nonduality and Science conference held in Marin County, CA. The second being the annual SPEP (Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy)/SPHS (Society for Phenomenology and Human Science) conference (generally known as continental philosophy) held this last week (21st-25th) in D.C./Arlington and [...]

Update on my Article

Some people have (gratefully) shown interest in my upcoming article in the Humanistic Psychologist. I was erroneously under the impression that it would be released in issue #3 but that is, apparently, not the case. It will be issue #4, which means waiting even longer to actually see it in print.
My apologies to those I’ve [...]

In the interest of getting close to the major players involved in the esoteric but, I find, fascinating world of Alfred Schutz, Husserl, and phenomenology in general, I have been accepted to present my dissertation research at the upcoming Society for Phenomenological and Existential Philosophy (SPEP) conference this October.

Toronto is out of the picture because I’ve already made [...]

I just realized that I hadn’t posted anything related to the last major conference I went to: the European Transpersonal Associations (EUROTAS) latest conference which was held in Barcelona this last October.
I must say, I really had [...]

Two months ago I decided to submit my paper Universal Integralism to The Humanistic Psychologist. There are several reasons why I did this. The main one is that I have always felt the need for transpersonal psychologists to publish outside of their circle of friends, so to speak. That is, I am aware that the [...]

Well, I’ve finished work on my doctoral qualifying paper. It’s rather long but accurate title is: Universal Integralism: Ontology, Epistemology, and Methodology in a Social Change Context: A Critical Analysis of Ken Wilber’s Integral Method.
I think it came out rather nice, but, then again, I guess the committee at ITP will be the judge of [...]

Here’s another blog of interest to our stressed-out subculture otherwise known as “graduate students.”
“I am beginning to wonder if anyone ever makes true friends in graduate school. Most everyone here seem super competitive – I tend to be more of a cooperative learner. I have this vague, nagging idealism that education should be a growing [...]

FYI: I found this through the academic coaching blog. It’s MONEY Magazine’s list of what they think are the 10 best jobs in today’s market. Note that #2 is being a professor and that #10 is being a psychologist (that is, they equate being a practicing therapist as being the same as [...]
