10/31/20 • 33 min

Part 3 of Episode 23 is the third part (of three) of the audio version of Chapter XXII of Tertium Organum by P.D. Ouspensky read by Alice Flanagan.

This chapter is packed to the rafters with examples throughout history of the mystical experience. Hampered by the constraints of language each extract provides a glimpse of the experience of the ‘real’ world. Ouspensky explores various means of obtaining mystical states including those under narcotics to those through contact with nature. If I was to be so bold, I could say this chapter is Ouspensky’s version of ‘Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll’! A brilliant chapter all round.

Episode 23 – Part 4 Panel Discussion (Part 1) of Chapter XXII Tertium Organum by P.D. Ouspensky

We are covering our panel discussion for Chapter 22 in several parts and this is Part 1. Well Ouspensky appears to have a little issue with some of the theosophical authors of the time and this did not escape our panellists. There is a lot to discuss with the writings of Max Muller who examines the teachings from Ancient India and the knowledge they hold of the ‘real’ world. There is a lively discussion around the original teachings of religion - so what happened there? We are setting the scene to explore the role of mysticism in bringing forth the ‘communion with the invisible world’ and so this is just the beginning of a very interesting chapter.
