The Yogic Journey of Billy Pilgrim

In this podcast episode, the mythic lens with which Kurt Vonnegut's novel 'Slaughterhouse 5' is explored is highlighted. The protagonist, Billy Pilgrim, becomes unstuck in time, experiencing past, present, and future simultaneously. This concept resonates with the yogic idea of merging into the present moment through meditative practice. The journey of the individual soul is compared to a pilgrimage, aiming to reach a state of absorption where all times merge. The practice involves focusing on the breath, repetition, and the subtle humming sound. This podcast episode delves into the connection between Vonnegut's work, yogic practices, and the timeless nature of existence.
