AboutI fancy the big picture. I like exact generalizations. I wonder what it all means. I make up my own meanings. I test them out. I’m not afraid of learning. I adapt. I fail. I create. I’m looking for company. I’ve taught physics, philosophy, and other subjects in Waldorf high schools across the American West, using super-skillz gleaned from my bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Colorado College (thesis on Whitehead and quantum mechanics) and master’s degree in consciousness studies from John F. Kennedy University (thesis entitled “The Elements as an Archetype of Transformation: An Exploration of Earth, Water, Air, and Fire,”). My education has taught me that it is just as important to explore how we think as what we think. Thus, I’m currently writing a PhD dissertation in the nascent (academic) field of transformative studies at CIIS, in which I address connections between spiritual science and cybernetic epistemology. The current working title is “Towards an Aesthetic Epistemology: Transforming Thinking through Anthroposophy and Cybernetic Epistemology”. I do freelance web and print design for food as sole proprietor of Spirit Alchemy Design. My research interests include: Anthroposophy, alchemy, cybernetics, transformation, archetypes, spirituality, science, consciousness, transdisciplinarity, philosophy and much more. Contact me!…

Levels of Dreaming and the Makeup of the Human Being: The Spiritual Ontology of Dreams Summary: This essay examines the source of different types of dreams in the spiritual makeup of the human being, composed of physical, etheric, astral, and Egoic aspects. With a fundamental distinction between dream forms and dream content, this essay examines four levels of dreaming, each one associated with a particular set of relationships between the physical, etheric, astral, and Ego. The transition of consciousness between different states is shown to give rise to the phenomenon of “projection”, which consequently provides opportunities for soul-work. The relations are described with an eye towards those interested in gaining a deeper relationship to their dream life, and in particular to those involved in spiritual development. The Art of Nature: Alchemy, Goethe, and a New Aesthetic Consciousness Summary: This essay explores the building of a new aesthetic consciousness, working out of insights from alchemy, into a new aesthetic method of observing brought forth by Goethe, and ending with a brief mention of the way this stream was taken further with the works of Rudolf Steiner. I present an evocative picture of the development of this new…

Coros Meditative Retreat: The Teachings of Isis: From Anxiety to Insight

Dennis Klocek is holding a Coros Institute meditative retreat on April 3rd – 5th (Palm Sunday Weekend) at Walker Creek Ranch in Petaluma, CA.

Topics will include:

· Death of the spirit in the material world as a source of unconscious anxiety.

· Working on the essential steps of separating the soul forces in the process of self-development.

· Re-uniting effectively the soul forces and forging new insights into dreams, destiny and karma.

If you have never heard Dennis or worked with him before, you are in for a real treat. He walks his talk, and offers a very unique approach and vision of personal transformation. It’s not just theory, but well-honed advice that weaves together decades of personal meditative work, phenomenological study, and repeated application. You don’t want to miss it!

Attached is a PDF flier that you can print and mail in to register: do it before you come up with some lame excuse to stay home and keep your life static and unchanging!
