Alan Watts: Psych of Mystical Experience

One implies the other, a yin to every yang

Alan Watts has earned a reputation as one of the foremost interpreters of Eastern philosophies for the West beginning at age 16 in England.

That was when he wrote an essay for the journal of the Buddhist Lodge in London and began to develop an audience of millions who have been enriched through his books, recordings, TV, radio, and public lectures.

In all, Watts wrote more than 25 books and recorded hundreds of lectures and seminars, all building toward a personal philosophy that he shares in complete candor and joy with his readers and listeners throughout the world.

His overall works have presented a model of individuality and self-expression that can be matched by few philosophers. Pacifica Los Angeles (KPFK.org) continues to air Watts on Sunday mornings and during Something's Happening at midnight on Thursday nights overnight to Friday.

Sex: Forbidden Fruit? (Robert Sepehr)

The Forbidden Fruit: Robert Sepehr

(Robert Sepehr) In the Bible, the forbidden fruit is a name given to the fruit growing in the Garden of Eden, which God commands humankind not to eat. Historians have speculated that it may have been a pomegranate, fig, grape, apple, or [entheogenic] mushroom. This presentation addresses the esoteric interpretation, and its occult significance passed down by various mystery schools and secret societies.

[A "mystery school," according to Dr. Ammon Hillman, is essentially a drug cult teaching the "mysteries" of ecstatic union with the substance or with a divinity through practices and the substance. The dedication of adepts is around a goddess or deity, in which initiates are introduced to reality through plant helpers and divine beings.

Yin yang at the center of the bagua

Taoism, founded by a divinity named Lao Tzu, is perhaps the oldest of China's three main religions, rounded out by Buddhism and Confucianism.

Celibacy is an excellent way of conservation of energy for spiritual purposes. But Taoism and Tibetan yoga might also suggest tantric sex with semen retention to cultivate the forbidden "fruit" of internal energy.

It is a powerful practice with the power to awaken our divinity if undertaken properly and with guidance. It is a significant component of esoteric Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhist practice by its yogis and yoginis.]

Tibetan sexual yoga?

Vajradhara and consort union

[Female deities like Vajrayogini, sexually suggestive and streaming with blood, overturn traditional separation between intercourse and menstruation [19].

In some forms of Buddhism, tantric sex is strongly associated with the practice of semen retention, as sexual fluids are considered an energetic substance that must be reserved for higher purposes.

Many Buddhist tantric texts direct the focus away from sexual emission towards retention and intentionally prolonged bliss. More]

SURF: The Yin & Yang of Gerry Lopez

Patagonia, Dec. 14, 2022; Eds., Wisdom Quarterly

Jerry and Friends tried to make jam music.

Jerry Garcia probably didn't get around to surfing much, but he did ride the waves during the Electric Acid Tests of the CIA and university psychologists. But this isn't that Jerry. This is the story of Gerry, a seminal figure in the world of surfing. Music festivals and LSD would have to do for Garcia, but Lopez was looking for something more, some oneness with nature via meditation, yoga, or riding the sea.

The Yin & Yang of Gerry Lopez | Patagonia

(Patagonia Films) From award-winning documentary filmmaker Stacy Peralta comes Patagonia’s The Yin & Yang of Gerry Lopez, a film that lifts the veil on one of surfing’s most enigmatic heroes.

The Grateful Dead led the free form dance

While “Mr. Pipeline” is famously known for his calm demeanor in the tube, Gerry built his early career on cutthroat, aggressive surfing. Gerry is as radical as he is Zen; he transcends categorization.

He’s one of the most influential surfers and surfboard shapers of all time, an entrepreneur, a family man, a movie star, and a lifelong yogi who brought surfing to new frontiers.

His influence on modern surfing is immeasurable, and his story is being told in full for the first time.
