Kenny Stanger and Josh Curran on Life's Illusions, Samsara, and Art's Shadow
You know, we're all riding the frequency and we don't like the way it makes our tummies feel when we're going down the hill.
Ever wondered if everything around you is just an illusion? In this episode of 'Dharma Junkie', host Justin Otto invites Kenny Stanger and Josh Curran to unravel some mind-bending concepts. They kick things off with a discussion on the illusion of existence and why Arabic numerals have a certain allure. But that's just the tip of the iceberg.
The trio dives into the concept of Samsara, the cycle of life and death, and what it means to truly exist—or not exist at all. Ever thought about time loops while on DMT? They’ve got that covered too. One of the standout moments is when Curran opens up about seeing darkness in his art, describing it as an expression of the Shadow.
This episode isn't just about heavy philosophical musings; it's also a deep dive into how conspiracy theories intersect with spirituality and the role of symbols in our lives. The importance of flow and enjoyment in the creative process gets a spotlight, reminding us that sometimes, it's all about the journey. Relationships and their influence on art also come into play, adding another layer to this rich conversation.
As Justin Otto puts it, 'none of it's real', but exploring these topics can lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Tune in for an engaging, thought-provoking episode that will leave you questioning reality and perhaps seeing your own art in a new light.
