The Two Tongues Podcast explores the most interesting topics that aren't "fit" for popular consumption (or polite dinner conversation). Here you will find honest, unfiltered and unedited conversation between two life-long friends on the state of the world as we see it; politics, religion, mind-altering substances, psychology and philosophy are fair game. Let the fun begin!

In this episode Chris compliments the description of his own mystic experience from Episode 83 with a whole bunch more from history. We delve into William James' The Varieties of Religious Experience, point out that William James had a mystic experience of his own--courtesy of medically administered nitrous oxide (did you know that)--and conclude that the mystic experience may be "the truest of insight into the meaning of this life."

This episode concludes our 4 part series of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. It was an interesting ride. I'm still not sure if I fully understood all of Hegel's arguments, but I can say one thing for sure...Hegel was a mystic.

This episode is part 2 of my exploration of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirt. This episode pits Iain McGilchrist's psychological work on brain functioning against Hegel's exploration of Self-consciousness. I then tie both back to my own mystical understanding of God and material reality. Strap in!
