Wei Wu Wei | Why Lazarus Laughed: The Essential Doctrine, Zen--Advaita--Tantra (Excerpts Part 1)

from Dancing Paradox · host Alex Hickman

Excerpts from the first half of Wei Wu Wei's second book entitled 'Why Lazarus Laughed: The Essential Doctrine, Zen--Advaita--Tantra'. Why Lazarus Laughed is a powerfully written book of aphorisms, meditations, and startling ruminations on the nature of time, consciousness, freedom, enlightenment, duality, and free will. Wei Wu Wei was the pen-name of Terence James Stannus Gray. After he left his theatrical career, his thoughts turned towards philosophy and metaphysics. This led to a period of travel throughout Asia, including time spent at Ramana Maharshi's ashram in Tiruvannamalai, India. Between the years 1958 and 1974, eight books and articles in various periodicals appeared under the pseudonym "Wei Wu Wei". A quote from his book 'The Open Secret' - "The writer of these lines has nothing whatsoever to teach anyone; his words are just his contribution to our common discussion of what must inevitably be for us the most important subject which could be discussed by sentient beings."   WEBSITE ➣ https://www.alexhickman.co.uk   WRITINGS + NEWSLETTER ➣ https://dancingparadox.substack.com   SUPPORT ➣ https://www.patreon.com/dancingparadox   CONNECT ➣ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/alex_hickman/ ➣ Twitter | https://twitter.com/aIexhickman

I became immersed in music from an early age. My father played guitar and often our home would be filled with people singing, dancing and playing drums. There was a popular musician, Ecuaga Miko who along with his wife, would travel from village to town singing and dancing to traditional ‘Fang’ rhythms and melodies. The town’s people would supply the drummers and their voices would become the backup choir for Miko and his wife to perform. I was influenced greatly in my early years through these musical experiences and this environment contributed greatly to my decision to make a career in music.While growing up in Bata on the mainland in the Rio Muni district there was not a lot of local recorded music available. The radio stations mostly broadcast popular music of neighbouring countries like Cameroon, Gabon and Nigeria, soukous of Zaire, music from Spain, South America and Cuba, Europ Catholic Gen-X Catholic Gen X The CatholicGen-X Podcast provides a unique 8-bit view on Catholicism, society, and popular culture.Meet our members:Fr.
