Martin Ucik – Falling In Love With Someone Good for You.
January 15, 2016
04:20 – 07:00 Introducing Martin Ucik.. and some basic points about falling in love.
07:00 – 13:02 Making 3 basic distinctions: infatuation, psychological connections, and developing a relationship out of friendship.
13:02 – 14:50 Pitfalls of instant hormonal relationships and why do we fall OUT of love?
14:50 – 16:11 It depends on which of the 3 kinds of love we’re talking about.
17:20 – 19:38 Problems when people come from different levels of development which affect what choices are available to each in the relationship.
20:00 – 21:45 What would “integral” people do? Three parameters: intimacy, passion, commitment.
21:45 – 29:54 Levels (similar to the chakras) of “integral” and what (and how) to relate with a partner on each level. Also on their vocabulary.
29:54 – 32:15 Advice to men about sharing feelings: sometimes it’s better to share them with a friend or a professional, if the woman can’t hold those “vulnerable” feelings he expresses.
32:15 – 34:16 Subtle expression of emotions usually comes online at pluralistic “green.”
34:16 – 37:14 Beyond green – an “authentic” way to express life purpose, which may require living without a partner, but may not.
39:00 – 43:52 How to overcome the difficulties of growth; defining self-worth and identity beyond the qualities of the partner.
43:52 – 46:39 “Transcend and include” means we don’t stop all the contents of earlier stages, but we learn healthier ways to express them – right up to relationships as a spiritual practice.
46:40 – 49:10 Our efforts toward peace at home as part of creating peace on earth.
50:00 – Summary from Martin, a quick rerun, and an addendum from Heidi.
54:01 – Find Martin at integralrelationship.com for news and further info and links.

26:07 – 28:23 How that works for girls and the outcome orientation it induces.
28:24 – Big question from a male watcher: How can males relate to women affectionately?
30:06 – 33:48 Slow down! Even though it may be unpleasant sometimes. Sensate, focus, etc.

Dr. Keith Witt – Loving Completely – How We Can Learn To Keep Our Intimate Relationships Alive
January 29, 2016
04:25 – 10:37 How come we repeat our relationship mistakes?
10:44 – 16:03 Unconditional love? Keith thinks not. Attunement is necessary. “Be aware with acceptance and caring intent.” Self observation.
16:03 – 24:00 How can we learn acceptance? What about shame? Developmental stages.
24:00 – 25:25 “Return to Love.” Poking perfectionism and what attracts a man.
25:25 – 29:33 Clarity, changing old habits.
29:37 – 31:30 Two kinds of commitment: “I’m going to stay with you as long as …” and “I’m going to do whatever it takes to make our love work.”
31:30 – “That’s why there’s no Unconditional Love.” Love becomes ever more demanding as we grow.
35:03 – 36:11 “A tantric process that takes us both to unity with God and with each other.”
36:10 – 39:40 What about monogamy? Monogamy promotes intimacy and depth.
39:40 – 43:54 Heidi notes that love is hard work – the opposite of what we hear in music, films, etc. How can you [Keith] inspire people to do that work? Non-violent communication, etc.
43:55 – 45:44 It require effort! But also play!
45:44 – 49:07 Generational changes, ignorance, and responsibility. How Keith got started.
49:07 – 54:05 Mark asks about the future of love. Keith responds.
54:05 – 59:10 Winding down remarks, asking Margherita for her takeaways. Margherita made a drawing! She’s not single, she’s whole!

28:40 Candy Javier Sakai joins from Tokyo and gives her idea about how to keep relationships alive.
30:30 Trust independent from the culture you are living in.
31:00 Japanese are conservative – only the youngest generation has changed. Life is different in Japan, and trust is necessary for a relationship.
34:32 Foreigners in Japan/ intimacy: Let’s go back to old school!
35: 20 Japanese women want blond guys; Japanese men want Russian women. Stereotypes and Prince Charming.

42:58 Coming back to Integral: diversity in the cultures.
44::25 Sexuality – need to know the people first?
45:00 It’s not consistency – always diversity (Candy).
45:38 Intimate relationships – how to keep them alive?
47:00 It is not that relationships just HAPPEN to stay alive.
47:30 Relationships accelerate your growth (Hans Kalben).
49:00 If you think you are enlightened, just go and visit your family for Thanksgiving.
49:15 Primary source for relationships is your motivation (Candy).
49:54 Dr.Keith Witt knows the human mind after 55,000 therapy sessions as a psychotherapist.
50:25 Hans: “The higher you go, the more conditional the love becomes.” Levels of development.

Katherine Woodward Thomas – Conscious Uncoupling – The art of separation in close relationships.
February 5, 2016
03:35 – 04:54 Heidi’s history with “Calling in the One” and Katherine’s journey.
04:54 – 07:27 “Conscious Uncoupling” as a precursor of “Calling in the One.”
07:27 – Heidi talks about how it began for us, and how it became so much more.
09:05 – Katherine’s early experiences: finding God, coming home to an empty apartment.
11:26 -12:58 Setting an intention and going within to find the barriers.
12:58 – And still we slowly drifted apart; the mission queen.
TEASER? 14:23 – 16:06 What would a “conscious separation” be like, effects on children.
17:30 – 18:26 The happily-ever-after model was created when the average life span was less than 40.
19:21 – 20. 33 How can we stay “in love” and together when mates develop at different speeds?
20:33 – 21:41 Partners being at different levels is NORMAL for long-term unions.
22:03 – 24:13 Biology conspires AGAINST breakups in general, from soul mates to soul hates!
24:32 – 25:15 “Conscious Uncoupling” and the evolution of relationships in the current context.
26:52 – 28:37 “Marriage has changed more in the last 30 years than in the 3,000 years before.”
29:09 – 29:52 At any time in history when women were on an equal power level with men, divorce rates were about the same as they are today.
29:52 – 30:33 Even the most conscious couple can become negative, stingy, etc. in the face of a breakup.
31:23 – 33:27 The Five Steps that people need for a “conscious uncoupling.” The why of it.
33:27 – 34:52 Step 1: Navigating emotions toward positive change: reclamation of anger.
34:52 – 36:51 Step 2: Reclamation of Power, because we often feel powerless; see your 3%.
36:51 – 39:28 Step 3: The meta pattern, usually from a very young age, through you, not to you.
40:18 – 45:41 Awakening from “The Story” that lives in the body – the True You Awakening.
45:42 – 46:15 Step 4: Re-engaging with your circumstances.
46:15 – 47:15 Step 5: Re-engaging beyond the personal process, with your community.
47:46 – 49:06 What if the partner doesn’t go along with the program?
50:33 – 51:12 How to get in touch with Katherine: consciousuncoupling.com, callinyoursoulpartner.com, and callingintheone.com.
51:53 – 53:13 Margherita’s takeaway: her identification with the whole process.
53:31 – 54:45 Katherine’s last words: getting more conscious and getting more command over our inner landscape – the work of our times.
54:45 Thank you’s and goodbye’s.
1:18 Hans joins the conversation.
1:48 How do we separate without pain?
2:01 Hans talks about his life.
3:08 Willing to question the beliefs.
3:28 Single for many years – desire to move into a relationship?
4:26 Original source wounding – patterns from childhood.
5:30 The longing for THE ONE.
7:10 It is up to you!
7:40 Assuming full responsibility for oneself.
9:00 Being in a relationship is the school for development.
10:10 Mark: the experiences are not wasted.
10:20 Heidi: about projections.
12:05 Catch oneself when the projection begins.
13:20 Don’t begin a relationship when you notice projection?
14:25 Margherita’s is not single but whole.
14:56 Dancing the paradox.
15:30 Enjoy living with yourself!
16:00 Cristina.
17:15 Our first relationship is with ourselves!
18:15 Start a relationship as friends.
18:50 Calling in the ONE.
19:05 Conscious uncoupling before looking for a new relationship.
20:34 The One is not what you think it is…
21:30 Relationships don’t need to last the whole life.
22:08 Cristina about separation.
23:45 If you give too much space to the other… establishing the rules.
25:55 Rayne about what we were taught: to look outside of ourselves.
26:24 Sit back and decide for yourself WHO you are.
27:25 Being whole and happy – singles.
28:36 Pioneering these new types of relationship.
29:28 Young people are growing with a different consciousness than we older ones (H+M).
30:00 The assumptions of previous generations.
30:34 Cats enter the scene.
31:32 We don’t have the language yet for the new things/consciousness now emerging.
32:35 Rayne tells about herself: intuition and getting to know yourself and your own gifts – going through the wall.
35:45 Painful breakthrough.
36:15 Comments: Women have duties towards men in Moslem cultures.
37:00 Liberation from these duties in Western cultures.
38:00 Men, get prepared!
38:22 The duty goes both ways – the liberation is for both!
39:24 Traditional worldview also in European countries.
40:18 Integral Map.
41:32 Why development is NOT “going down the drain” – things become more complicated, but….
42:30 With the responsibility for our own choices comes also the responsibility for our mistakes – but more options become available.
43:35 Heidi’s experience when the partner wants you to stay little.
44:20 Going along with the norm is more comfortable, but not authentic.
45:53 Quality over quantity.
47:00 The road less travelled – but so much MORE.
48:00 Thinking about oneself in a different way is harder than changing views about others.
48:40 Our biology is hardwired: paradox between wanting to stay the same and be curious.
49:30 Exploring humanity by exploring ourselves = next step for humanity right now.
50:20 A product of this point in history.
51:00 What if world conditions change?
51:45 Development goes 2 steps up and 1 ¾ back again…
52:00 Question about 7-year cycles.
52:35 Translation and transformation.
Jeff Salzman and Kelly Bearer – Same sex relationships – Is there a difference?
February 12, 2016
04.10 – 5:02 We pick up with Jeff as he recounts his journey into Integral thought.
05:02 – 15:13 Jeff gets into the history of same sex relationships.
15:13 – 21:25 Kelly continues with her history – with lots of shame and guilt.
21:25 – 22:20 Jeff describes “the heartbreaking part of being gay in our generation.”
22:20 – 25:40 How did you survive that part? What happened? Jeff: No shame! Kelly: A slow process, even after moving to Boulder.
25:40 – 28:41 Difficulties even in Integral circles; “just so straight!” And how it got better!
29:01 – 34:50 What is different/not different in same sex relationships? No need for birth control!
35:00 – 36:40 Juicy polarities remain! The greatest engine of evolution is boredom!
37:06 – 37:40 One thing that still pisses Jeff off.
38:54 – 40:54 Squashing polarities as a stage we go through – and acceptance.
40:54 – 43:14 Where is help for kids available? “Them” as a movement.
43:14 – 45:50 Cultural evolution, Deadpool, how kids dress, the Ax commercial.
45:50 – 47:47 What’s next? What’s still taboo? Jeff, “Everybody gets to be who they are…”
47:59 – 48:56 We confess our love for Jeff’s presence and manner, and he gives thanks.
48:56 – 49:38 The Integral European Conference in Hungary in May, etc. Thank you’s.
49:38 – 50:58 Kelly’s “what’s next”: bigger containers for exploration and new contractions for new rules.
51:40 – 53:54 Margherita’s observations from “outside”: “Normal” people don’t get to explore sexuality as much as you (Jeff & Kelly) do! All those who are different.
53:54 – 54.43 Good byes (amidst us falling out again).
0:24 The Wisdom Factory Community (http://bit.ly/WF-community)
1:50 Hans meets Jeff the first time live on video and talks to him.
2:15 The story of Hans regarding Integral in his life.
3:20 The importance of talking to others about what we read in the books.
5:00 Talking about the show: Same Sex Relationships.
5:25 How is the discovery of being gay? Hans was lucky!
6:20 From not liking men to discovering the identity of being gay.
9:35 How is it in Germany as a culture? Is it like in the US?
10:15 It is easier in Germany to be gay?
11:15 Evolution is a matter of time.
11:58 Eros is on our side.
12:06 The more Integral, the more the Universe appears to be friendly – we can have trust and faith in it.
13:00 Other ways of living and being, which had been suppressed in the past.
15:05 Topic: Refugees.
15:20 In Berlin, an Asylum will open for LGBT refugees.
16:45 How are the refugees doing? Especially with the extra challenge?
17:20 Being gay is a reason for asking for asylum.
18:05 Feelings of liberation and safety – and overwhelm.
20:00 That’s what I love about Integral.
20:42 Social work with the AQAL approach.
21:18 A marker of Integral conciousness – you can be friends with everybody.
22:19 Jeff invites Hans on his show to talk about the refugee topic and about Germany.
23:07 The Wisdom Factory; our mission: bringing people together.
23:30 The greater We-space – enhanced by video.
24:20 Being authentic means that we don’t need to “shave and get out of our pajamas,” but just be as we are!
26:41 Meeting live – you can support us by sharing the events, bringing people in!
27:52 Please support our work!
28:50 About removing guilt.
29:25 Integral shows how guilt was important in bringing people from the egocentric to the traditional stage of development.
30:35 When we have integrated responsibility for our actions, then we can let go of guilt.
31:38 Dr.Keith Witt on the evolution of shame and guilt.
32:38 Critique of the “green” teachings – everybody is like us (or should be).
33:54 Overcome versus integrate and transform.
35:00 Something healthy about being able to feel shame.
35:40 Authenticity.
36:00 So much shame in same sex relationships.
38:10 We become relatively free. We don’t get rid of our conditioning, but we learn to not be dominated by it.
38:30 We cannot resolve these questions with the mind.
37:20 The topic is not the topic – it is about healing.
40:10 When we come into this life, we choose the area to work on: we overcome, transform, and integrate what we have learned.
41:56 We are all born with our baggage – talking about the quadrants: where we can experiment and grow.
43:20 Digging into shadow can create extra pressure; it can become an illusion and not authenticity.
44:10 Catch yourself and look at it in a playful, humble way.
44:23 Become a good parent to your younger selves.
44:50 A song: ooops. I did it again.
David Amerland
Why trust is essential in human relationships, at home and in business.
February 26, 2016
4:51 – 10:05 David begins with a mental game to show why we need trust to lead to understanding
11:16 – 17:30 David responds to trust questions by Heidi: example: VW. vs. Toyota
17:30 – 22:25 Moving toward transparency? In the “we” space we know instinctively who to trust but in the I/them space, as between cultures, trust becomes not so ”instinctive”. Likewise on the web.
22:25 – 27:18 The net vs. old brand loyalty and new contexts, trust requires mutual vulnerability and symmetry. example of Amazon vs, Italy and a little shop in Perth in Australia.
27:20 – 29:53 Changing loyalties among different demographic groups and various social media
29:55 – 31:27 Origins of the cultures of Facebook and Google and the consequences thereof. “On Google+…the data is yours. But with Facebook you can’t close your account, they just suspend it and your data is theirs.
31:27 – 32:53 Young people are not naive about the security of various platforms
32:55 – 34:18 More news about the world warps our idea of how “bad” things are. But we are planting seeds of trust around the word.
34:20 – 37:36 “There may be mistrust but mistrust doesn’t mean a complete absence of trust.” David explains.
37:36 – 41:53 Trust from relationship from communication. Works both personally and in business. Measure trust with a trustometer..and then more seriously and all parties are in a fluid flux continually.
42:10 – 49:20 Back to instincts and why trust is so hard to maintain. VW again. German rationality vs. cultural sensitivity and perceptions.With a global culture you have to overlook cultural differences and look for cultural similarities.
49:41 – 55:05 Melanie takes a turn and applies trust to current politicians – especially ONE politician – and David responds that transparency is not enough, we need to see actions, motives, intent, context and a look at history and what we can learn in retrospect.
55:05 – 58:47 Final observations, takeaways, announcements, thank you’s and goodbye’s.
00:00 Welcome and short overview over what was talked about in the main show
4:02 VW in German has lost trustworthiness – ask Hans in Germany

11:20 Trust and expectations in context
12:40 Less deception when you look from an integral perspective – the world becomes more friendly
13:50 “Speaking through the flower” – hinting as a communication desaster
15:50 Saying everything instead of hinting is not a guarantee for good communication. Transparency is not the total indicator for trust

19:00 We can forgive betrayal more of brands than of people

35:35 Roy Montero appears for a Monologue
37:32 Mark addresses the “black-and-white” perspective
39:10 Hans: Starting out with trust or with a little suspicion?
40:40 Building relationships quick – Heidi stresses the importance of being able to SEE the speaker
42:30 Seeing people is a different way of communication
44:42 Heidi’s response to Roy: the voice is important, but body language adds to the communication
46:46 Trust in connection with attachment styles
49:00 Meloney asks If you cannot trust yourself you cannot trust others so easily: as you know how you manipulate yourself…… if you did untrustworthy things you don’t trust others 10 times more
50:30 Criminals are very suspicious
52:04 Time heals all wounds?
53:36 We need to tell ourselves a different story
54:50 Self fulfilling prophesy – Hans’s experience as a social worker
56:19 Comment: time destorts details
57:50 Henrik: we try to avoic danger – and add to our suffering
58:33 Mark in favour of time: life experiences come when they come
1:00:00 The decision that things won’t happen any more is not enough: The door opener for Mark: Ken WIlber and Integral Theory seeing the past in a different light
1:02:25 Heidi: Did I waste my time in the past?
1:03:05 Does relocation help? – Heidi’s story to go to Italy and Hans tells his story
1:05:51 Drug addiction – you take your patterns with you….
1:08:00 You can see yourself as fresh, the open moment
1:10:25 You can look at yourself with their eyes
1:11:20 Coming together in family – the old habits – release your expectations
1:14:58 We are co-creating the conversation

15:23 Love Languages – which one is better for connection on social media?
16:30 Enneatypes are also very important: attraction-, social-, security type. Experience with online dating
17:40 Why would you use social media as a primary strategy to find a partner? Heidi’s experience
