New Experiment! Guided Meditation I
Added 2022-03-17 23:29:35 +0000 UTCI'm attaching this to the post rather than posting it as audio so that you read this first lol. I floated the idea of this on the last stream, and it diverges from the usual content. The goal of it is to generate EXPERIENCE rather than EXPLANATION. Don't worry, I know explanation is preferable, but that doesn't mean it's not worth a try.
Sometimes I listen to guided meditations, but too often they say weird mystical shit that is off-putting. This, instead, is a guided meditation based on some of the stuff I've been saying lately.
If this sucks, let me know so I never do it again. If you like it, it might be worth trying a few more, but let me know either way.
There are some short readings in the second half, they are as follows:
1. Heraclitus (Fragment)
2. Heraclitus (Fragment)
3. Heidegger (Early Greek Thinking)
4. MMP (Visible and Invisible)
5. Gnostic Gospels (Gospel of Philip)
6. Parmenides (Fragment)
7. Heidegger (Identity and Difference)
8. Wallace Stevens (The Man with the Blue Guitar; Poem)
9. MMP (Visible and Invisible)

2023-03-04 21:32:55 +0000 UTC"How should you walk in that space and know nothing of the madness of space." I think this is a good format to keep exploring, particularly along the lines of your current mushrooms and spore kick, "infecting" capitalist mindfulness/meditation app industry with horizon expanding thoughts that look equally at the systems we exist within, as the more typical "look within yourself in order that you feel better about yourself." It's hard to tell though, because even Alan Watts has been appropriated and coopted in "chillstep," and can be pursued only because it's "cool" vs a genuine desire to unveil a potentially void opening truth. So perhaps how id compare is there's already a plethora of YouTube Allan Watts or Ram Dass, eastern wisdom type guides meditations, but to my mind like zero systems philosophy, post humanism philosophy meditations. Probably some western in the sense of the classics, Stoicism and that shit, but who's doing a Heidegger chillstep? Lol One thing to maybe try is to not indicate when exactly the quotes will come, but to interlace with the meditation itself after the initial stilling process. The repetition is very helpful, even if intellectual understanding is not immediately revealed, the repetition has the power of a mantra, more likely the words will keep rattling around in the listeners brain afterward. Came off as a legit guided meditation for sure. π
