- Competitive State, Richard Hames @ The Hames Report:
In a recent defence white paper issued by the Australian government certain assumptions were made that still go mostly unchallenged in today’s world. Without explicitly stating as much, the authors of the white paper imply that defence is unavoidable, that… - Practicing Adaptive Leadership, Richard Hames @ The Hames Report:
There is something about the human mind and about the way we think that is at once quirky and peculiarly primitive: seriously out-of-kilter with contemporary reality. We manage our affairs as though they were entirely straightforward, crying foul when others… - The Truth is Not Enough, Richard Hames @ The Hames Report:
Human-induced climate change is the most serious issue facing humanity this century. There can be no doubt any longer about the science – the continued release of greenhouse gas emissions from the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial and…

- The Guest List, Richard Hames @ The Hames Report:
Its that time of the year again, Songkran or Thai New Year, when the majority of Thais head home for the five day holiday. And so it is that I find myself once again in my wife’s village in the…

Integral Life Interviews with Saniel and Linda
// April 5th, 2009 // No Comments » // Audio
The Conveyor Belt One of the great advantages of 21st century spiritual experimentation is that we now have an enormous body of psychological and sociological data at our disposal, as well as a highly refined perception of the universe around us—all of which offers a much clearer view of the role spirituality plays in our lives. Two of the most useful concepts to help us understand the full spectrum of spiritual realities are the notions of stages of human growth (as revealed by such developmental pioneers as Jean Gebser, James Fowler, Carol Gilligan, Jean Piaget, Abraham Maslow, etc., describing human growth as evolving through archaic, magic, mythic, rational, pluralistic, and integral stages) and states of consciousness (descriptions of gross, subtle, causal, and nondual experiences that are found cross-culturally, in almost every major tradition.)

- Change You Can Bank On, Richard Hames @ The Hames Report:
The whole drama of human history is enacted in a frame of meaning too large for human comprehension or management Last month the acknowledged rate of unemployment in the US rose to a 25-year high of over 8 per cent… - Bad Boys, Richard Hames @ The Hames Report:
In a previous posting some weeks ago I suggested that the US model of capitalism, fuelled by easy credit, driven by greed, and populated by a deluge of complicated financial products that few people even pretend to understand, is doomed…. - Global Warming – Global Emergency, Richard Hames @ The Hames Report:
The fatal flaw in the current global warming debate is that most of the key players are singing off the wrong song sheet. Current policy proposals are based on scientific information which at least five years out-of-date. The latest information… - No Return To Normal, Richard Hames @ The Hames Report:
Barack Obama’s presidency began in hope and goodwill, but its test will be its success or failure on the economics. Did the president and his team correctly diagnose the problem? Did they act with sufficient imagination and force? And did… - For the Common Good, Richard Hames @ The Hames Report:
According to the Asian Development Bank the fall in the value of financial assets may have reached $50,000 billion, with estimated losses in Asia (excluding Japan) of at least $9,625 billion. Many developing nations face a financing gap of between… - The High Life, Richard Hames @ The Hames Report:
Alligators basking off the English coast; a vast Brazilian desert; the mythical lost cities of Saigon, New Orleans, Venice and Mumbai; and 90 per cent of humanity vanished. Welcome to the world warmed by 4°C. Clearly this is a vision… - netGuilds, Richard Hames @ The Hames Report:
Based on debt and compounded interest on debt, funded by the wealthy seeking even greater wealth, dependent upon easy credit leading to easy consumption, driven by an insatiable desire for more of everything and resulting in unprecedented material comfort for…
