Strange Prayers - Native and Tribal Ritual and Prayer - Eastern Philosophy - Alan Watts
Listen now
Description
The episode starts out with a surprising and somewhat disturbing cacophony of noise, which is the sound of a person speaking "I love you" but being distorted and altered to create this unnerving affect.  This episode focuses on our ability to reach the point of being completely incapable of doing anything with true sincerity, which is actually a great discovery. The discovery that you are a fake. The more you understand yourself, the more you tear layer down to layer of skin, you're able to truly discover the nature of who you really are and what you're actually capable of.  This episode features different chants and prayers, recited by different types of Native tribes, which help bring that sense of spirituality and oneness that Watts discusses throughout his many different books and lectures. The Eastern Philosophy model, along with the use of psychedelics, meditation, Buddhist, Hindu, and Confucianism are all brought to life through Watts exuberant tone of voice and create an excitement for the subject matter being discussed.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
