#39 - Self-Mummification

Shugendō is a religion practiced in Japan since as early as the 7th century, and involves severe asceticism as a form of worship and spiritual development. While most of this involves mountain climbing, some of the more enterprising monks in the past 1000 years have taken to the attempt to preserve their physical form my mummifying themselves while they are still alive.

E tu, mi vedi? “E tu, mi vedi?” è il podcast di 9m², il progetto per aprire gli occhi su un mondo che ormai si è rimpicciolito in un’unica stanza. Per un universo più inclusivo.“Apro gli occhi e fisso il soffitto.” Immerso in un presente senza fine, un viaggio tra la paura, i pensieri, lo spazio e le sensazioni di chi non può fare altro che chiudere la porta della propria cameretta, fino a non aprirla mai più. Un tuffo negli occhi, e nella mente di un Hikikomori, che poi alla fine è un po’ anche la nostra.Partendo da voci, testimonianze e racconti, assumiamo le sembianze di una generazione sommersa, e ci facciamo una chiacchierata per sfondare quel muro che, piano piano, ci si può costruire attorno. Ed ecco il mondo a portata Hikikomori.Ogni lunedì su Spotify.E per entrare ancora di più in 9m² visita il sito del progetto http://www.9m².com The Joker's podcast The Joker Hikikomori :giovani in fuga dalla realta el faro del apocalipsis (Podcast) - www.poderato.com/gascuenha gascuenha historias de un hikikomori occidental y cincuentón. paisajes del apocalipsis cotidiano.dibujos de sociedades alienadas.esquemas de ti.suenhos. 哲学以前の違和感人間観察者・倉木凪日常で感じた違和感を出発点に、人の認識、思考、心理、実存、宗教、科学、幸福、不安、時間、価値観、意味を観察する独白型ポッドキャストです。人間はなぜ、意味のない世界に意味を見出し、希望や確信、救いを求めるのか。なぜ脳は理由や物語を作り続けるのか。この番組では、自分自身の体験や日常の出来事を通して、人間の思考や認識の構造を静かに観察し、言葉にしていきます。自己啓発でも、人生の答えを教える番組でもありません。結論や正解を示すのではなく、「なぜそう考えるのか」「なぜそう信じるのか」を問い続けます。意味のない世界を前提にしながら、それでも日々をどう運用するかを考え、人間観察と哲学を通して思考の記録を残していく番組です。 note https://note.com/kuraki_nagi 書き起こしサービス LISTEN https://listen.style/p/ponsudati?hABcy07H
