The Don't Want Us To Remember This Stuff: The Great Cosmic Mother Pt. 2

Wonder how you got trapped in the machine?  We've got all the answers for you. Using our book of the moment, The Great Cosmic Mother, we break down how ancient goddess-centered cultures that were so real and connected through birth, death, creativity, ecstacy, and the earth - got totally crushed and rewritten with a patriarchal influenced monotheistic jealous god. The change coincided with a rise in conquering, violence, and a focus on production - a desire to change humans into worker bots to feed the machine. We know this really happened because the book has so many receipts and well, it's a culture that we still live in. Some episode highlights:• using haiku as a quick grounding tool when your justice sensitivity flares up• rejecting the straight-line patriarchal colonial story of history and progress• evidence for nonviolent settled life and priestess-led religion at Çatalhöyük • how modern work culture steals sleep, dreams, and inner life • how Christianity repackaged woman/goddess-related symbols, including menstrual blood• we learn that it was a fig tree that Eve and Adam ate from and quickly decide we aren't changing the name of the podcastEverybody write a haiku and send it to us. Work less, sleep more, write haikus.
