Nietzschean Spirituality — Dionysus vs. The Buddha
In this episode we are going to explore Nietzschean spirituality in contrast to Buddhist spirituality (and other Ascetic Ideal spiritualities and religions). This topic was prompted by a question from Kevin Sherman on Patreon so thanks to Kevin for the interesting spark.
This script kind of poured out of me and it was only afterwards that as I was listening to it again and again in editing that I found myself inhaling through my teeth a bit with the critique of Buddhism. I feel like I was a bit heavy-handed in places and I'm sure many of you will agree. My qualification for this is that I wanted to be a little bit provocative around the spiritual element to cut past a lot of the inflation you find in New Age circles but in hindsight I feel I didn't give enough space for the value of Buddhism. Maybe I need to make an episode explaining why Buddhism is amazing to counterbalance and in what ways it is preferable to Nietzschean spirituality. In the meantime I thought I'd include this qualification here in the description where I'm not quite sure anyone will see it. For those of you who do read the description, hello.

ATONE
atonement-with-the-father-joseph
Atonement with the Father is one of the stages of the Joseph Campbell Hero's Journey pattern as outlined in his book The Hero With a Thousand Faces. The Atonement with the father Star Wars episode is especially famous in which Darth Vader proclaims that he is Luke Skywalker's father. This is where the hero meets the archetype of authority, meaning and truth that is the Great Father archetype and has his reckoning with it.
In the overall scheme, Atonement With the Father is the 9th stage of the Joseph Campbell hero's journey 17 steps. It is one of the archetypes of the Journey itself (with the other overarching stages being the Departure and the Return).

DIOGE
diogenes-the-cynic-his-philosophy-and
What life lessons can we learn from the philosophy of Diogenes the Cynic? Live simply and tolerate no bullshit is probably the best summary possible. From the Alexander the Great reaction to his antics or his trolling of Plato, Diogenes of Sinope provides a trove of both entertainment and inspiration. In this episode we look at the living philosophy of Diogenes of Sinope and see what we might learn and apply in our own lives. He is one of the most radical philosophers in the history of philosophy and is always guaranteed to evoke some reaction.. For Diogenes the Cynic philosophy was simple and it only had to be lived. He lived in an upturned wine cask in the agora of Ancient Athens. He is one of the most entertaining characters in Ancient Greek philosophy. He was contemporaneous with Alexander the Great and Plato and had amusing interactions with each that we’ll be exploring in this episode.

ARCHE
archetypes-101-the-destroyer-archetype
This Archetypes 101 looks at the archetype of the Destroyer one of the 12 Archetypes in Carol Pearson's Awakening the Heroes Within. It is the Shiva archetype with its couplet the creator archetype. These are two of the most important in Carl Jung's Collective Unconscious theory as they are central to the psychodrama of transformation. In order to make room for something new in our life, space must be created. Sometimes we cling to our way of being and yet some other aspect of us fights back and burns the bridge for us unconsciously. This is why we self-sabotage ourselves, why we self destory much of the time: in order to make room for a better life.

YOU A
you-are-not-god-psychology-of
You are not god. Have you heard? In this episode of the psychology of spirituality we take on the commonplace spiritual belief that we are all god. In a way this is spot on; we are tapped into the great field of Being. The trouble lies in the ego identification and appropriation. While the roots of the unconscious run deep, it is a false equivalency for us to take any kind of ownership of what lies beyond the pale of the ego. The unconscious is Other and will always be Other. We can integrate contents of the unconscious but we can never integrate the unconscious. It is a wall we will always come up against.

OK ZO
ok-zoomer-–-why-we-should-be-cautious
Will OK Zoomer someday become a common joke against Zoomers? Will the maturity of time make the Millennials and the Generation Z looking like outdated Boomers? It would be shocking to the hippies of the 1960s to imagine that their generation would be mocked as greedy and out of touch since they more than any previous generation pioneered the social justice conscience that is such a hallmark of today’s youthful generation. In this episode of The Living Philosophy we look at why we should be careful condemning the Boomers with OK Boomer since we may someday be in their place and slapped with the label OK Zoomer.

COMFO
comfort-is-the-enemy-nietzsche-—-the
For Nietzsche The Last Man stood as the opposite of the Ubermensch and the great danger of the "levelling" tendency of modernity. In this episode we are going to look at what Nietzsche meant by the Last Man and how his prophecy has come through. We look at The Last Man in 21st century society and what Nietzsche got right even while we should be cautious of fully embracing his ideal.

JUNG'
jung's-collective-unconscious-the-home
The collective unconscious was Jung's great discovery. This is the part of the mind where the Jungian archetypes live. In this episode we explore what the collective unconscious is and how it relates to the hero archetype the anima archetype and the animus archetype as well as the shadow and many others.
We will also be looking at Carl Jung's dream of a many levelled house all the way through Ancient Rome to Adam and Eve. It is a fascinating subject and the entry point to understanding all Jungian Psychology.

A CON
a-conflict-of-visions-thomas-sowell's
In A Conflict of Visions Sowell distinguishes between the two visions that have shaped the landscape of the modern era (and beyond): the Constrained Vision and the Unconstrained vision. From Hobbes's "bloody war of each against all" to Rousseau's "man is born free but is everywhere in chains" we see these visions develop and grow in the modern era, shaping the world we find ourselves in.
A Conflict of Visions which Thomas Sowell published in 1987 and has always spoken of as his favourite book is a fantastic exploration of the exact type of historical trend exploration that I'm so fond of. While Sowell's verion of Unconstrained vision suffers somewhat from his Constrained vision bias it is not irreparably so and the whole book has become one of my favourites and one I know I'll be returning to for many years to come. In this episode we are going to review and give a summary of A Conflict of Visions. I hope you enjoy!
