Explore the paradoxical pleroma with Professor Anthony Guilbert, author of Notes From The Drift, a collection of poetic observations infused with the philosophy of Esoteric Daoism. In this episode we peruse a plethora of cosmo-psychological perspectives, which is a fancy way of saying we try to take a glance into the inner workings of the universal mind. Tune in to hear the original purpose behind practicing Qi Gong, yin & yang, connecting heaven and earth, and plenty of encouragement to keep doing the work on yourself--no shortcuts!
In the Plus+ Extension expect to hear about legitimate transcendental experience, building a healthy persona after shattering your ego, creativity and finding your Wu Wei in this wide world, and a lot more!
