From The Listening Room HQ – Adrenaline Cycles and the Crash

Tullio Crali, Le forze della curva, 1930

I conclude the The Listening Room HQ triad exploring the hidden physiology behind men’s patterns, choices, and resilience. The third post, Adrenaline Cycles and the Crash, looks at how high-intensity states and the following recovery shape the nervous system, emotional patterns, and capacity for integration.

This note follows the first two posts in the series on the magazine:

And it completes the triad of posts on The Listening Room HQ:

Brett Anderson – Mayan Soul Map Synthesis at The Polymath

Brett Anderson Š Iorgis Matyassy

I’m sometimes asked what a Mayan Soul Map looks like, or what to expect from a reading that includes Mayan. I’m a member of The Mild Ones, a Suede fan community. Today, is Brett Anderson’s birthday, and I share a Mayan Soul Map Synthesis, exploring his Birth Kin, current cycle, Venus phase, and more on The Polymath’s site.

Here’s an excerpt of my Brett Anderson Mayan Soul Map Synthesis: “Brett’s birth essence holds a deep, crystalline clarity: the need to question, to refuse easy answers, and to stand as a voice of integrity for the collective. His life path is not solitary. Warrior at Crystal tone suggests that his strength is found in weaving himself into group purpose, holding vision within a wider band of seekers. Brett’s full Mayan Soul Map Synthesis can be read here.

Presence, Listening, Creation – A Polymath Manifesto | Listening Beyond the Noise – Twin Posts at The Polymath & The Listening Room HQ

Wassily Kandinsky – Points, 1920

Alongside the interview with Juliana Ferreira, we invite you to visit, read and explore The Polymath and The Listening Room HQ, me two new vessels that live on another frequency, and to read their recent twin posts.

Presence, Listening, Creation – A Polymath Manifesto where I write in The Polymath about being a Polymath in this time and age, creating a Polymath Manifesto.

And Listening Beyond the Noise, on The Listening Room HQ, that unveils the currents behind and beyond the relentless noise we are surrounded with. Here on a men’s practice vision, but that is transposable for everyone.

On Polymath – Hildegard von Bingen as a Source of Continuous Inspiration

Hildegard von Bingen – Visions

Hildegard von Bingen has been a source of wonder for me – and for countless others – across the centuries. Her life and work span theology, music, natural science, and creative practice, and her integrated approach to knowledge still resonates deeply today. For example on Hildegard von Blingin’ s cover of Chappell Roan’s Pink Pony Club.

On my second post on The Polymath I explore how her visionary thinking continues to inspire ways of living and working as a polymath, and how her example invites us to connect the threads of our own diverse interests. Read more about Hildegard von Bingen as a Source of Continuous Inspiration here:
