John Lamb Lash - Freedom Dawning A Terrible Beauty Is Born
In this episode, we delve into the concept of "terrible beauty" and its manifestation across various disciplines. The discussion begins with interdisciplinary teaching methods, followed by an examination of the Irish revolution's influence on Yeats' poetry and the exploration of freedom. We then transition to Hindu mythology, focusing on the goddess Kali's global significance and her role as a divine feminine figure. Kali serves as a metaphor for confronting illusions, highlighting her reverence. The episode also touches on affective rhetoric in public discourse and the importance of generosity in societal evolution. Finally, we discuss plans for revamping the YouTube channel to introduce new content.
