This episode is a recording of one section of an essay I originally wrote for subscribers. Read the full essay here.
The key points in this "speaking":
The world arrives as one: body and soul together, one uncaused arising.
"Foods prepared with presence can open the pores towards particular worlds."
"The human is a virtual animal, an ideological construct that derives its meaning from material exclusion."
"The Yukaghirs say that before children learn to speak, the body is open: “raw meat.” Language is learned and the flesh bends into itself, circling small worlds of human-centric meanings."
"Foregoing language re-attunes the flesh to the fluid, sensual conversation outside of fixed human meanings."
"I would also like to be less dependent on this technology we call speech. Can I learn the subtle speakings of wilder things?"
