Reclaiming Our Noes in the Disconnected Domination Culture (with The Marion Method)

In this episode of the Marion Rose Podcast, I explore reclaiming our Noes in the Disconnected Domination Culture and how reconnecting with our “slug wisdom” helps us return to our true power, together.

I describe how sensations and feelings such as disgust, discomfort, frustration, annoyance, outrage, resentment, exhaustion, and overwhelm can signal a no in the present (or noes that we have overridden in the past), and how we were trained as babies and children to override these signals through should's, coercion, shaming, punishment, and a loss of love, belonging, or safety.

I share how the Marion Method maps and practices support us to untie the “rope” of DDC conditioning, including through connecting with our Inner Loving Presences, tending to our younger parts, and learning the difference between “I don’t want this” and “I am not willing for this.”

I share how I came to understand the "Neo No" through a scene in The Matrix movie.

Following Our Yeses: Slug Wisdom, True Choice, and Discernment with the Marion Method.

In this episode of The Marion Rose Podcast, I explore our yeses in the Marion Method and how following our yeses helps us connect with and live from the deepest places in ourselves ~ our Soul ~ rather than from Disconnected Domination Culture (DDC) consciousness.

I share about “slug wisdom” as our innate body knowing of yes and no, and how feelings and sensations (such as interest, delight, curiosity, disgust, resentment, and overwhelm) guide our discernment, sometimes only after lived experience.

I talk about how unmet needs and early conditioning can disconnect us from our needs, desires, and preferences, and how MM practices support reconnection, safety, and true choice.

I also explore how DDC can entice and engineer “yeses,” drawing on Edward Bernays' book Propaganda, the shift from needs to desires in the DDC, and mimetic desire from Luke Burgis/René Girard.

I offer information, such as how satisfaction and fulfilment are key signs of a true yes.

In this fourth Marion Rose Podcast episode on the Marion Method, I share “tastelets” of the key practices ~ especially Love and lovingness and Will and willingness ~ framed as compasses that help us stay connected to our unique Soul of Love, Will, and Consciousness.

In the Love and Lovingness Practices section:

I describe the tangible reparenting practices of connecting with our Inner Loving Presences (Inner Loving Mother, Inner Loving Father, Inner Best Friend, Inner Loving Sibling, and Inner Beloved), and I share the different depths at which we can practice this, including receiving support externally, writing with the two-column technique, and “toggling" between ILP and our younger parts.

I explain how the feelings that bubble up are part of what need to be loved ("When love is present, what needs to be loved arises"). And I talk about the teapot and teacup of love.

I share about The Great Mother and Soul-Version work, reparative phrases as antidotes to charged phrases, and our identity as love.

On the Will and Willingness Practices section:

I explain embodied yeses and nos, the “Neo No,” and The Willingness Practices (including The Willingness for All Practice),.

I also share about the three types of feelings, language choice, Conversations with Life, and creating new cultures beyond The Disconnected Domination Culture.

In this episode of the Marion Rose Podcast, I continue my series on the Marion Method (MM) by introducing some of the key maps: especially the psychospiritual map of the relationship between the Soul and the personality.

I share how maps can support us when we are feeling painful feelings by bringing understanding, meaning, and purpose (without spiritual bypassing).

I explain the MM map that we are wise Souls of Love, Will, and Consciousness, and how we develop personalities that are shaped by the family we're born into, and the culture (in this case, the Disconnected Domination Culture (DDC)), and how that often creates a painful gap which at particular time points invites us to tend to that gap, so we experience more and more that our personality is more and more a clear reflection of our Soul.

I describe practices including the love plus meaning way of perceiving event, and “toggling” between younger parts and Inner Loving Presences, plus the importance of our slug (yes/no) wisdom, re-parenting, and re-culturing to reconnect with our true Soul nature and our Callings.

I welcome you to a new podcast series on the Marion Method, a set of maps, models, practices, and processes that support me and others to get free from what I call Disconnected Domination Culture (DDC) conditioning through psychospiritual re-parenting and re-culturing, including the wider cultural and historical context and the contrast between true soul nature and conditioning.

I share why I’m recording at home with dogs and birds as part of including my environment and “Messages from Life,” and I invite you to listen to your yeses and noes to listening.

I talk about pivotal callings from childhood and adolescence, my desire to understand human beings, and my path through psychology, a PhD on the mother-infant relationship, reading The Continuum Concept, Psychosynthesis Psychotherapy training, and later influences including The Field Project, Nonviolent Communication, and Aware Parenting.

I explain how the Marion Method emerged to help adults meet their own needs, get free from self-judgment and self-coercion, and reconnect with Love, Will, and Consciousness, and I preview future episodes on my learning lineage.

In this episode of The Marion Rose Podcast, I talk about April Fool’s Day, AI, and discernment, in the context of expanding consciousness and understanding reality.

I began sharing about my experience with two April Fool’s jokes on social media, and the shock I felt when I thought they were real, particularly now that I'm focusing on discerning what's been written by AI.

I describe how jokes are often only funny when they’re clearly not true.

From there I reflect on discernment in creating safety, and then I share about major paradigm shifts in my own life (including Aware Parenting, Nonviolent Communication, Buteyko Breathing, barefoot shoes, and The Marion Method).

I talk about how we can feel overwhelmed if we expand our consciousness in really big ways, and how to support opening and expansion in ways that create safety as well as clarity.
