Podcast Overview

”Jobs come and go, physical beauty fades. Even close relationships can end. But the benefits of philosophy last a lifetime.” -NYC Subway Ad 🧨🍄☄️🍊🔑🌼🧀🦜🌵🧤👗🦋💎🐟☂️🪁🛹 This is a series of philosophy lectures set to music, the idea being that the music helps shape the teachings into a more digestible form, and allows you to listen to them in any state (driving, exercising) and remain engaged with the text. The first season features lectures by Alan Watts, who has been described as a teacher of Buddhist and Hindu philosophy with a knack for making them sensible to Western audiences. They pertain to the most fundamental of questions: what is reality? [note: the lectures are from the 60s and occasionally some of the language used is outmoded by today’s standards]

When It Happens, It'll Happen

"You are not a captive in a trap. You’re not just some mere little measly being that somehow or other was brought into an insane universe, but you are what the thing is. You are not the victim. You are the system. Only, you have identified yourself with one wave in it." ᴍᴜꜱɪᴄ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ꜰᴏᴜʀ ᴛᴇᴛ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄʜᴇᴍɪᴄᴀʟ ʙʀᴏᴛʜᴇʀꜱ, ᴀʟᴏɴɢ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴀ ᴄᴏʟʟᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ ᴏꜰ ʜᴏᴜꜱᴇ ᴍᴜꜱɪᴄ

You're In The Middle

"One of the first things that everybody should understand is that every creature in the universe that is in any way sensitive and in any manner of speaking conscious regards itself as a human being. It knows and is aware of a hierarchy of beings above it and a hierarchy of beings below it. [....] That is to say that wherever you are and whoever you are and whatever you are, you’re in the middle."   ᴍᴜꜱɪᴄ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ᴋᴀʏᴛʀᴀɴᴀᴅᴀ, ᴇᴀʀᴛʜ ᴛʀᴀx, ᴄᴏᴍᴘᴜᴛᴇʀ ᴅᴀᴛᴀ

The Cracker of Shells

"[Shiva] is the destroyer in the sense of being the liberator: the cracker of shells so that chickens can come forth, the breaker-up of mothers so that their children can be un-smothered. The liberative destruction. The bonfire."   ᴍᴜꜱɪᴄ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ᴅᴀᴘʜɴɪ, ᴍᴏᴏᴅʏᴍᴀɴ, ᴋʀᴜꜱᴛ, & ᴀʟɪꜱᴏɴ ᴡᴏɴᴅᴇʀʟᴀɴᴅ
