Extraordinary Discourse Podcast

Clips for the Creatively Maladjusted. Helpful Hints for radicals, intellectuals, strangers, artists, dreamers, readers, writers, speakers, activists, pacifists, fools, and professors. Extraordinary Discourse has been long in preparing. A multi-voiced thought adventure, around an hour a week. Its many themes converge in the theme of Play. Walt Whitman: "Failing to fetch me at first, keep encouraged. Missing me one place, search another. I stop somewhere waiting for you."

Extraordinary Discourse 018

Long Trail Of Short Cuts

Sorcery utilizes language to control and dominate reality, to limit human potential (like the pharmaceutical companies turning people into helpless victims by creating new chronic syndromes which they then medicate through new chemical potions), while shamanism provides the liberating act of breaking up certainties and returning reality to the status of mysterious perhapsness and infinite possibility.
