The Meditating Philosopher | Beside After Socrates /w Layman Pascal & Bruce Alderman | Ep 6 | On Episode 10 + Philosophy Games @TheMeditatingPhilosopher | Uploaded February 2023 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
In this video, Layman Pascal, Bruce Alderman and I discuss a variety of philosophical concepts and quotes, ranging from love and embodiment to the actualization of the imaginal.
We explore the importance of diverse dialogical practices and the need for a secure container in which productive disruptions can occur.
Layman, Bruce, and I also delve into different approaches to achieving enlightenment, comparing Eastern and Western philosophical traditions.
We discuss the potential for a radical generativity in the spirituality of early civilization and suggest that larger groups were likely involved in the construction of structures rather than individual genius craftsmen or authoritarian forces.
In the second hour, we discuss the importance of collaborative processes in creating sacred structures such as Stonehenge, Angkor Wat, and the Tibetan Lama's center called Odeon.
We highlight the value of embodied and interactive learning compared to a more semantic-based approach and caution on the potential dangers of diving into these practices, especially with inexperienced people, as it can lead to the dumping of people's dark sides and bizarre things that can be non-benign or even dangerous.
We also discuss the intersection of technical and creative skills when it comes to data visualization and expression and emphasize the importance of finding local communities and meaningful ways to participate in life.
