Description
The Emerald explores the human experience through a vibrant lens of myth, story, and imagination. Brought to life through the wise, wild, and humorous vision of Joshua Michael Schrei — a teacher and lifelong student of the cosmologies and mythologies of the world — the podcast draws from a deep well of poetry, lore, and mythos to challenge conventional narratives on politics and public discourse, meditation and mindfulness, art, science, literature, and more. At the heart of the podcast is the premise that the imaginative, poetic, animate heart of human experience — elucidated by so many cultures over so many thousands of years — is missing in modern discourse and is urgently needed at a time when humanity is facing unprecedented problems. The Emerald advocates for an imaginative vision of human life and human discourse as it questions deep underlying assumptions about societal progress.

A maze3 meant to awaken to flight like bats down into the dark; flight like swallows swimming in the body of the Sky; flight like hummingbird darring about like a warrior searching for nectar to feed the Sun as he makes his way through the dark of night. Flight formed from ecstatic shamanic insight to climb to soar to stream to fly through the movement of Earthen Sky as the Up and Below of the Night Sky where the Milky Way shows us the Way. "Saq Beey" Sacred White Road to fly up upon Milky Way
Sei and the Soul of Sei saw one another in the recognition of sickened state of the animate when soul and senses are forced to seperate into dis-association states of being...Nosis and Nature; danger...intuition is a sign of sickness amongst the rationalists...So how then can we consciously chose to live oit our trance states at the gates of consciousness...NWC...Follow the path Mother-Fathers form for us and our fractured; ruptured minds causinf Soul Loss in Our Times & Its Consciousness...
My favorite play with divinity is to write commentary while listening to Lord Vishnu speak through his devotee know here as the Joshua Tree. This tree of mystical myth-trickstery speaks while I open up to the Flowering of language within me; this blissful blooming of images of imaginal imagery will cross paths with the voice spoken as Josh's podcastering poetry and boom in a flash the word written co-incides with the word spoken in a tantalizing throwing of dice in the play of Homo Ludens...Sync
Longing then is the hunger driving the appetite of Tricksté who wants the Blue Green Emerald Rain to fall on him; on her all one and the same...So comes the wishing wanting of hunting the sacred sustenance of that which will fulfill our desire for the fire the devour the essence of our divine power. Calling down the drenching rain from the Cloud Thunderers is sung out over a blazing fire of burnt offerings providing, feeding; sustaining, supporting all things here on our beloved Face of theEarth
It took me three days to arrive at the Source; the Heart of the Universe; Seed Source of Creation...the release found through surrender to the Great Mother-Great Fathers...So letting go may well be the way to sow the seeds that grow to show the way to for us to move forward on the road in our quest to find a way to go...We who live in the glitch of lives in which we make the switch away from enslavement of the soul to the freedom found in walking across the Land and its Sacred Landscape...
Why no comments? I am new to internet participatory engagement so I am not sure if 'comments' are wanted or not but this lesson given here requires comment because this is idea of giing to battle with malevolent forces is so very real in a world of Sky Sea Land Lake River Butte Canyon Cave Ravine Mountains and Valleys that are governed over by Dueños del Mundo...Landlords and Reef Lords of Wave and Trough...We would do well to awaken to these powerful Agents of Change keeping an Eye on our acts.
Stay with this painful podcast exposing GRIFT and the GRIFTERS feeding off our Numbinosity that must become our Numenosity...Grift; small-scale swindle; coaxed to participate in Hoax Costumbre as we seek in search of the Right-On Story telling of our being Human Becomings thru Our Ancestral Mythistory Our Ancestral Past; Dream, Imagine, Speak You Our Ancestor; Our Dead who survived Our Past's Constant Harvest of Blood, Body, Breath, and Bone. Atone, yes, for la Doctrina del Descubrimiento...
This is a PHENOMENAL Time Marker Type Talk that Questions our Charlatanistic Trickster Hipster Coyote making Footprints on an Ancient Ancestral Mapa...Historia Tolteca-Chichimeca sprouts forth asking who the Civilized; who the Civilizer; Giver of Work; BUILDER of Unalterable Structure; the Seer Sees from up on the Knoll looking over El Paso and Ciudad Juarez...The Knower; el Nawal Seeking the Path forward in yhe footsteps of the Past...We must know us for Revelation to rise up and out of Dust..
Here then, the Story of the Feeling One; the Seer, the Invisioned One; Down Deep Deeper still the Descent as go Below into the Beyond; Fringeland where Our Souls No Longer are Allowed to Go. No Speech with The Dead; No Dance Party with the Ancestral Glow. Seek the Seer; Know the Knower but which One in a Sky Earth now filled with Un-Initiated Fire Keepers...DANGER says the Intuitive; Who the Seer; indeed Who then the Seen? Blood on Snow; Mtns. of Bones We must Sort to then Adorn; Look Back; Forw
This Podcast is genius in its ingenius play on and above words through new first time spoken metaphor. These two Mother-Fathers of the Ancient Ancestral Word speak to make their message be heard and understood. Walking the faultline of signification, they leave us questioning the Myth of Analysis and our willingness to be flayed after being laid out on the Couch of the Psychologist...Dismembered Trickster opressed by our own internalized oppressor; victim? yes, yet who the victomizer; who pyre
I wiped out my comments to attempt a participation in an Other Way...Mistletoe is a Killer Parasitic Epiphytic type beast.Starting with bird droppings on top of the Oak Tree; there it goes the Devouring Evergreen Mistletoe...Oh no, oh no...Tiny opportunity; a small opening is what the Boundary Crosser calls for to slip through the intersticios of the very veins of the mighty oak tree whose life is sucked away by the now thriving sap sucking emerald green Mistletoe...Stay low Baldor...oh no Loki
