I always 2x stuff for listening - and them sometimes I go into .5 speed to transcribe important moments. But this venue does not allow 2xing as far as I can tell? So just so you know Peter Kingsley doesn't start talking until 34 minutes in!! And the whole interview is over 2 hours long. So we can expect him to be interrupted soon and not be able to talk again for how long? haha.
To be honest with you there's a little Howl going on: That is I have the material for ANOTHER book. .. it is about this.. I go back through history, back to Pythagoras...and really talking, on this theme, of how EVERYTHING IS TAKEN AWAY...Often these ancient Greek texts are changed...People actually change the texts, to REWRITE what people write...because it's too threatening; they want to make it nice, peaceful and churchlike and peaceful and so on and so on... and it's all made peaceful again: this movement to make things peaceful. And yet there are these DISTURBERS...ancient Greeks...philosophers...founders of education...what's the point of publishing a book like that...Why do you have to write about the HARD things....why can't you write about Plato, Heaven, the Aliens and angelic things and all that... We've had that for 2000 years and now we're in HELL!!
Peter Kingsley gets a word in at 40 minutes!
The Ju/’hoan Bushmen or San of southern Africa host one of the oldest surviving dance forms. Openly conducted in public for the whole community, the dance serves as the primary locus for healing, conflict resolution, wellbeing, rejuvenation, social reunion, spiritual expression and performance art. Central to the dance is awakening n/om, what the Bushmen regard as a vibrational force that resides in the body of the strongest dancers. Often described as an energy or power that makes the body shake, n/om is more accurately a blend of somatic vibration, heightened emotion and sacred song. n/om is also the source of a dancer’s capacity to heal sickness in themselves and others. The following composite account of an insider’s perspective of the n/om dance is based on decades of field research interviews with Ju/’hoan n/om dancers and our own experience as accepted members of several Bushman dance communities. We focus on the experience of n/om in the body and how this enables the dancer to dance between two worlds ‐ that of everyday knowing and the ineffable spiritual realm or what the Ju/’hoansi call second creation and first creation, respectively.
The Keeneys do some kind of Improv to make up for their article being behind Academic Paywall? Even the censored Commie Hacking of the academic paywall does not access it.
Peter Kingsley:
The Christians said there is no evil, it's all good...The Gnostics said, there is pain, there is suffering, don't ignore it at your peril....The Christians ended up being dualistic and committing atrocities...The Gnostics ended up being nondualists....
The person interviewing him continues on for 90% of the conversation... oops...
Ecology is disappearing FAST! https://thenarwhal.ca/bc-extinction-crisis
For years, Canada’s most western province has marketed itself as “Super, Natural, B.C.” But the B.C. government is failing to protect the myriad species that inhabit the province’s many ecosystems, from the coast to the mountain tops and from grasslands to old-growth forests, with worrisome consequences for biodiversity. Last year, a landmark UN report found that nature is declining at an unprecedented rate and extinctions are accelerating, with almost one million species at risk of disappearing globally. Almost 1,340 species are now on B.C.’s red and blue lists of species at risk of extinction. Another 1,037 species meet the provincial status requirements for red and blue listings but have not yet been added, in part because more information is needed.

Central Europe suffered its biggest and most damaging drought on record in 2018 and 2019, which had two of the three warmest summer periods ever recorded on the continent. The summers were also much drier than average, and more than half of the region suffered severe drought conditions.
Researchers say moderate reductions in CO2 emissions could halve their likelihood
Researchers recently found pesticides and industrial compounds deposited in snow atop four high-elevation glacier sites on the Norwegian archipelago Svalbard, often considered a “pristine” environment.

Nautical not nice: how fibreglass boats have become a global pollution problem
SOURCE: The Guardian
DATE: August 6, 2020
SNIP: Where do old boats go to die? The cynical answer is they are put on eBay for a few pennies in the hope they become some other ignorant dreamer’s problem.

The sea surface of the Arctic Ocean contains less salt, so the sea ice will stay frozen longer, even as temperatures rise, but it will melt at 0°C (or 32°F). As the images show, the blue area where sea surface temperatures are at or above 0°C (or 32°F), is encroaching upon the pale-blue area at the center of the Arctic Basin, and appears to reach the North Pole at August 9, 2020.
Peter Kingsley:
The Howl is what birds do...the pounding of rain... you can't say you can't do it...spirituality is a work of Nature.
So Kingsley then cites Jung's discussion of Holderlin and so I go to Zizek:
the break of the late Hölderlin occurs when this narrative synthesis and Aufhebung of the tension is threatened, abandoned even, by the "sober" acceptance of irreducible multitude which can no longer be reconciled in an overall narrative scheme. And, as Santner points out, this abandonment of the encompassing narrative frame does not lead to abandonment of links between fragments, but to a discovery of new level of interconnectedness, a "paratactic" field of secret links, of echoes and reverberations between monadic elements-something, one is tempted to claim, not unlike the inner links of Plato's chora which precede the grid of Ideas.
The problem being that Zizek does not understand noncommutative phase math of nonwestern Pythagorean Music Theory. So Zizek is unknowingly promoting Platonic music theory as the foundation of Western logarithmic/exponential math. oops.
Peter Kingsley:
Eastern sacred traditions, spiritual traditions can give us SO MUCH and take us to the end and yet there is beyond that, that behind ALL these Western monstrosities that we so desperately want to escape from, there is a sacred tradition to... People very rarely...I was upstate New York giving a talk about east and west and someone objected, "it doesn't mean anything there is no western vs. east."... I knew what she means but I had the answer.."What are you holding in your hand?" A microphone...That is WESTERN that's not from the East, that's not native indigenous American... You CAN put some identifier around the West...there is a LOGIC.. if you drive cars, use Iphones, use audio equipment...then the Karma of the West becomes OUR Karma....The spiritual seeds that GAVE RISE to WESTERN culture and how Western Culture was TURNED into Something Else - there is an INtimacy to that , that I find very beautiful....
But anyway maybe, if this other little book of mine, if you want...but maybe I shouldn't...Maybe you might see through this book....There ARE these traditions that are behind other traditions and they LEAP from East to West...
