S3E14 - Identifying with Experience
The Dimension Approach
Much to Lance's chagrin, we're talking about identity again. But if it wasn't so confusing, it'd be easy to disidentify! When we're overwhelmed, what are we identified with? Our relationship to dimensions should be flexible and always shifting depending on the context. We want to be versatile in our mode and not so easily overwhelmed, and the dimension approach can help!

S3E13 - Becoming Buoyant
The Dimension Approach
Fighting against storms and currents, falling in the water, staring in the depths, floating, swimming, and becoming a fish - it's a wide-ranging metaphor of our relationship to water and what we allow in our conscious awareness. Becoming buoyant is an aspect of resilience - knowing the water you're in and holding the complexity of its depths without fear of being consumed by them - and it's a big part of the Dimension Approach.

S3E12 - Confusional States
The Dimension Approach
Confused? Good! We're normally averse to the state of being confused, but in order to learn, adapt, and re-orient, we have to be able to tolerate confusion. When you're confused you can either identify with it (quick trip to madness), or if you let go of it there's more of an existential nothingness that starts to arise. But in the face of that existential nothingness there is a you that still exists - letting consciousness move through the mind and tolerating the confusion promotes exciting healing and growth.

S3E10 - Armoring
The Dimension Approach
Welcome back! This week's episode is on Armoring, and Lance sees it as literally as important as explaining the concept of temperature. Sometimes we're more comfortable or less comfortable, and it's related to our difficulty in allowing the truth of something. Everything is exactly as it should be - a wonderful, magnificent joke/creation/farce that is simultaneously deeply sacred, poignant, and meaningful. But we are armored against that experience in seemingly countless ways. Thanks for listening, please send any comments or questions to [email protected]

S3E6 - Libidinality and Evil
The Dimension Approach
First in a multi-part series that gradually unfolds as a beautiful description of what brings each of us from origin to the present moment. What each of us is working against, unknowingly, is a culture that has put the conceptual mind on a pedestal, re-enforcing entanglement with the ego. But there are so many layers and energies operating from above and from below the conceptual mind; it's such a tiny sliver of our being. We experience intense anxiety trying to govern that multitude with just the conceptual mind. Video of this conversation is available at

S3E5 - Parenting ourselves, parenting each other
The Dimension Approach
We all have patterns of orientation, anchoring, and identifying in relationship to different energy centers. We have state experiences related to each, and we have a level of consciousness at each. There are so many different combinations that can lead to very good or mediocre karaoke performances (context in the episode). Everything seems to be on its own trajectory for development and growth, and it's hard to impossible for the ego to remember that in so many different contexts. Thank goodness we have consciousness to shepherd and parent us through. Please send any questions to . Thank you!
