Is it worth standing up or even saying anything at all in the present situation? How long before the Assembly of Silence goes silent? Not just yet but it’s definitely under consideration.

If you don’t know Ken Wheeler - he’s a translator of ancient Greek, Sanskrit and Pali texts, tatted from head to toe and author of “Uncovering the Missing Secrets of Magnetism”. Wheeler is an iconoclastic figure within philosophical, metaphysical, scholarly and scientific circles who now appears to be spending most of his time making YouTube videos (on his Theoria Apophasis channel) about metaphysics, electromagnetism and camera equipment. He also likes to crack the kinds of jokes one might expect from a 6th grader. Is he for real? Noah and Cahlen discuss the man and some of the unexamined implications of his ideas. The Trigrams are briefly discussed in this episode so here is Noah’s Trigram YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8j2QsBqUb7ylMAnjUCS_ow and a paper on the subject: https://medium.com/@taijireality/consciousness-and-time-part-1-24c2f6e11b62 ASRH Contact/Support: [email protected] https://www.patreon.com/taijireality BTC: 3ArEkk6xAZia13gmtJzbmEMW1haHVUPCfz ETH: 0x56073462949bA7EFB21dFB562067b4628685436C PayPal: t a i j i r e a l i t y atsign geemaildotkom ASRH theme music “Huddled” by Peck Slip: https://peckslip.bandcamp.com Get full access to TAIJIREALITY PUBLICATIONS at taijireality.substack.com/subscribe

A train of thought about our world’s pervading sense of crises, the true meaning of good and evil, the law of unintended consequences, the importance of playing the game to the very end and the power of unexpected love - with loads of commentary ex post facto. Also - a brief clip from a forthcoming episode with Cahlen included as a bonus at the end. Happy New Year to All ASRH Listeners! Hopefully 2020 will be better than any of us might reasonably expect.

This episode features more Assembly of Silence Moments per square meter of podcast than any other to this date. A triumph that will one day appear in the beer book of world records - assuming the world sticks around long enough to recognize the achievement. The prospects are not looking good. The collective anger appears to be reaching a peak during this countdown to oblivion. No, it’s not funny - but if we can’t laugh then we are terminally doomed. Also worth mention perhaps is that right off the bat we get into some five element theory (suggesting an ever more pressing need to create some introductory materials for these core concepts). Let me know if you want that.

I don’t think anyone ever reads these summaries so I’m not sure it’s worth writing much about what happens in the episode. It’s a conversation you won’t want to miss.

The original Assembly of Silence team are back in an episode covering the full range of standard ASRH topics: what is the best way forward from any given here and now?

In this episode I welcome a new guest to the ASRH: Yair is a world traveller from the ancient land of Israel whose depth of wisdom is made evident in this conversation. The appreciation of the present moment exists in tension with the grasping mind that strives to manage life. The two are incompatible yet it is only through their integration that we can experience the fullness of life. I don’t know that this summary does justice to the subject discussed. Listen and then forget about it - for the present moment cannot be extended beyond this now and efforts to possess are futile.

Noah reads and comments on the first section of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the ancient Hindu text considered to be the source document for the practice of Yoga. Here Yoga does not refer to the physical exercise systems now popular in our day. "Yoga" is a Sanskrit term meaning "union". Union here refers to union in the spiritual sense - to attain a state of unified consciousness. This might also be described as communing with God.

Judah is MIA - a fact that causes Noah to present the first part of his article wherein he attempts to integrate cønsciousness into physics. Here's Noah's Medium page where the article discussed in this episode will soon be posted: https://medium.com/@taijireality Contact/Support: [email protected] https://www.patreon.com/silentassembly Theme music from “Huddled” by Peck Slip: https://peckslip.bandcamp.com Get full access to TAIJIREALITY PUBLICATIONS at taijireality.substack.com/subscribe

We continue our discussion of S2E4: Judah's talk "Nourishing the Soul of a Child". If you haven't yet listened to S2E4 and S2E3 (the first part of the discussion) - there's no way to guarantee this episode will make any sense. Context is everything. Almost everything. If not everything - it's at least significant. Significant to some. OK - so, for some people context is apparently meaningless. If you're one of those people go ahead and listen without context and fully enjoy not knowing what we're talking about. Excellent. Thank you. Note: we recorded another episode prior to these two which focuses largely on the Hindu epic Mahabharata - some of this conversation is referenced in the latter part of this episode. Our "epic discussion" will appear as S2E7 next week!

In this episode we discuss S2E4: Judah's fascinating talk "Nourishing the Soul of a Child". So if you haven't yet listened to S2E4 you might want to check it out first. Note: we recorded another episode prior to this one which focuses largely on the Hindu epic Mahabharata - some of this conversation is referenced in the first part of this episode. It seemed appropriate to discuss Judah's talk directly after its broadcast - and so the "epic discussion" will appear as S2E7 in two weeks time. Enjoy!

For the second time in ASRH history Noah and Judah were unable to schedule a conversation...consequently Judah offers this recording of a recent talk he gave at The Siskiyou School in Ashland Oregon on 12/5/18. This talk presents a spiritual perspective on health rooted in the teachings of Rudolph Steiner. Enjoy!

This episode consists of some Assembly of Silence self reflection, a brief discussion of the bagua and trigrams, language and symbols, dilution of and delusion within meaning, inspiration, identity - being stripped bare of it and ultimately: “Who Am I?” Contact/Support: [email protected] https://www.patreon.com/silentassembly Theme music from “Huddled” by Peck Slip: https://peckslip.bandcamp.com Get full access to TAIJIREALITY PUBLICATIONS at taijireality.substack.com/subscribe

IN this episode we attempt to revisit a lost magical episode that we just managed to not record in which we were discussing conversation: its origins and significance. But then we get sidetracked into the most dismal of all topics: politics. Sorry. Perhaps we redeem ourselves by the end as we discuss the extremely long spans of time characterized by the yugas.

Judah is AWOL and Noah is left to his own devices. With the aim of producing a extra special festive holiday edition scuttled by time constraints he reaches into the archives and pulls out a most bizarre and disturbing piece of audio art for your consideration. A perfect fit for the end of an extremely bizarre and disturbing year. Humanity is said to have stolen fire from the gods. This first act of thievery sets the path we've walked ever since. What is criminality and why do we romanticize it so ardently in our entertainments? There's a lot of tension between the rules necessary for social cohesion and the adaptive requirement that we continually be changing - breaking our rules so as to remain competitive and relevant to changing circumstance. This piece explores these issues in a radio art format. Man-i-klepto was produced in 2006 by request of Maximillian Goldfarb.

Continuing on the theme of "idealized stories are lies but they're the best we've got", Noah and Judah discuss the meaning of the story of Jesus (a view which can [to varying degrees] also be applied to all historical personages). We also discuss the difference between the original intent of a story and its ultimate purpose. Judah reveals the meaning of "abracadabra" and provides a profound definition for "demon" which reminds Noah of something Jesus said.
