Cadell Last's THUS SPOKE ZARATHUSTRA COURSE STARTS JULY 14TH 2022 Sing up here:  https://www.philosophyportal.online/ Cadell introduces the explosive text known as Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Frederic Nietzche.       About Cadell:   "I am a philosopher interested in interpreting and communicating the greatest philosophical works with the aim of bringing these works into a practical engagement for the life of the mind.  I believe the most important challenge for the human mind today is reconciling itself with itself, that is the body and society that has been given to it through historical contingency. From this spiritual reconciliation we do not get an end to tension or conflict, but a capacity to posit new necessities which may lead to even more interesting and intelligent tension or conflict.      Here my work to this point has focused on highlighting specific great minds and the totality of their body of work. These minds were selected because I believe they are essential for reconciling the mind with historical contingency and the development of new necessities. You can find a course on the work of Sigmund Freud, founder of psychoanalysis, as well as a course on the work of Georg Hegel, and specifically the Phenomenology of Spirit, as it may be the most important philosophical text of the modern age."

Layman Pascal is an author and host of the Podcast THE INTEGRAL STAGE. He is also a public speaker, nondual theologian and yoga & meditation teacher, apocalyptarian—and so many other things.     We brought Layman to the Parallax Media Academy to talk about Tantra—to get his view of why tantra is necessary and essential in the 21st Century and what kind of ground needs to be laid for genuine tantra to flourish.

May 21th 2022 Andrew is back, and We talk about the well-rounded personality, art, the gap between self and persona, line of sexual development, what is beauty, and of course anal probes.
