Her lyrical, eco-centric vision of the mythic has gained her a wide following, as she blasts monomyths wide open into swarms of glittering spores. With essays entitled 'My Saint is a Weed,' 'Confessions of a Compost Heap,' and 'Becoming a Ruin,' Sophie's work brings the mythic into the tangible, helps myths regain their body, and places stories deep in the middle of a living ecosystem of time, place, and specificity. In this episode, Josh and Sophie discuss her model...2021-09-161h 13The EmeraldThe EmeraldTyson Yunkaporta on Pattern, Kinship, and Story in a World of Decontextualized MindsIn his book Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World, author, teacher, artist and Apalech clan member Tyson Yunkaporta presents a model of five minds — kinship mind, story mind, ancestor mind, pattern mind, and dreaming mind — that together form a way of seeing, knowing, and interacting with the world in a relational context. This episode looks at the rampant fragmentation in the modern world — which impacts everything from spiritual movements to transhumanist science to conspiratorial worldviews to progressive discourse — through the lens of these five minds. From Aboriginal rain rituals to QAnon pattern-seekers, from sorcery and curses to alter...2021-05-261h 21The EmeraldThe EmeraldThe Yoga of Gun Control, The Grail Myth, and the Healing of the American WoundIn this mytho-poetic look at one of the defining modern political issues, Josh explores ideas of freedom, empathy, and responsibility and how they are viewed in various cultures, cosmologies, and mythologies around the globe. In the west, freedom tends to be seen solely in terms of the material freedom to follow our wants and impulses free of external interference. In yogic traditions, freedom is seen as moving beyond these same impulses towards a deeper vision of peace. Ultimately, questions around weaponry and armament in Indian mythologies and in the Arthurian legends revolve around worthiness and responsibility, a r...2019-06-2530 minThe EmeraldThe EmeraldThe Case of the Man Who Grew Horns: Imagination as a Driving Force of the Human ExperienceToday on The Emerald. How did paleolithic and neolithic peoples see the world? What if, as an increasing number of anthropologists now think, they had access to a trance state — a vision-space — that is all but missing from the modern mind? A state that we don’t miss or see as vitally important because it’s like a relative we never knew we had. Gone out of mind and memory. Join Josh for this look at the human relationship with trance and imagination and how these essential states of consciousness have shaped the human mind and history. Explore l...2019-05-2634 minThe EmeraldThe EmeraldThe Cow in the Elevator — An Anthropology of Wonder. An Interview with Professor Tulasi SrinavasToday on the Emerald, we dive a little further into the topic of wonder. Not wonder as just a fleeting feeling, but rather wonder as a state of consciousness deliberately architected through creative ritual. Wonder that is pursued systematically, stoked, as our interviewee says, in order to break open our day to day experience and get us to something deeper. In this way, wonder becomes a form of resistance to the current state of the world.Join us as Josh interviews professor and author Tulasi Srinivas about her book The Cow in The Elevator: An Anthropology of...2019-05-2644 minHouseschuh | House Music PodcastHouseschuh | House Music PodcastHSP169 Hüpf und Schrei mit Basement Jaxx, Mr. V und Josh Butler<p>Kurz vor der Winter Music Conference gibt es so viele tolle neue Lieder.
