#55 Part Two: Unseen Beings with Erik Jampa Andersson
This is part 2 of my interview with Erik Jampa Andersson. In this fascinating interview, we continue to discuss his new book Unseen Beings: How We Forgot the World Is More Than Human.
In this episode, we get way more esoteric. Erik explains exactly who unseen beings are, and why we need to understand that we share the world with more than humans.
We talk about the Nagas - find out who these serpentine beings are. We discuss spirits and mantras, particularly how certain mantras are spells used in literal combat.
We both share a ton of Naga stories and experiences from the one Prashant Iyengar shared with about Patanjali to how the Nagas became guardians of the Chod founder’s tradition and many more.
Plus there’s a bonus episode right after this one on the importance of ritual and we dive much deeper into mantras are spells.
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS EPISODE INCLUDE:
Find out who the unseen beings are and why it matters that we learn to identify them.
The importance of Nature spirits and learning to understand who the serpentine Naga beings are.
Critical connections between human health and environmental health.
Erik shares the story of Machig Labdrön, the founder of the practice of chöd: Tibetan Buddhist Mahamudrā chöd lineages.
Erik draws on traditional eco-philosophies and Buddhist wisdom, asking us to rethink the very nature of our existence on this incredible that we share planet.
