The Liminalist # 1: Double-Bound

liminalist1

An introduction to liminality with reference to Charlie Hebdo incident, the idea of the double-bind, Rene Girard and mimesis, freedom of speech without freedom of thought, the necessity of humor in subversion, questioning the official narrative being branded as conspiracy theory, the fundamental experience of human consciousness, obligatory love and hate crime.

Sound bytes: Rene Girard from CBS Ideas Series, “The Scapegoat: Rene Girard’s Anthropology of Violence & Religion,” Part One. Alan Watts on the double bind. See also  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXX8XaZ8vV4

Songs:  “El Mariachi” and “Monkey Said” by The Freak Fandango Orchestra; “Song for My Peeps,” by Art of Flying; “The Plot,” by Malaventura; “Never Let Me Go,” by Big Blood.

  1. Listening now.

    The thoughts we are not allowed to think. I don’t say much these days because of that sort of mind control. Good to hear your voice on a podcast again, Shock, disturb and appall!

  2. yeey, a new podcast!

    looking forward to listening to it.

    Also sry for dropping out of the workshop, I fell of the horse and have been trying to get back up in the saddle aswell as finding/remebering my login details for the forum or find the energy to retrieve it 😮

    Also i think my patreon status got canceled due to paypal account running dry or something.
    Never been good with handling reaccuring payments.
    Is it possible to pay for several months a time as a “one time” payment? Else i will just re-rub monthly tomorrow again and we see how long it takes before same thing happens 🙂
    Maybe I learn someday 🙂

      • I assume that statement is more about you standing by your overall vision of this project.
        Hope you have some great guests for the upcoming podcasts.

        • I was more satisfied with that first podcast than previous others ones, felt it got closer to what i’d like to do, more free-associative and “up.”

          I may feel differently later.

          • What’s going on with your patreon account? I canceled it because I wanted to buy your book, plus I didn’t know what I was supporting. Is the audiobook series still a go?

          • for the audio book to be a “go” I would need to reach the $130 mark, I think that’s how it works (it’s a bit confusing, even for me)

  4. Yoikes! I just stopped it at 21 minutes because the ancient Asian masters ALL insisted the object was for the student to SURPASS the master, and imitation of the master was never considered worthy… in some Zen schools students even suffered physical blows for that noise. No. Really. That was huge in Huayen, Zen, Taoism… among the most revered masters of the millennia. So. Right here. There is a big opportunity to pass through the liminal and into light.
