Parallax Essay
Tantra, Trungpa, and Booze
In tantric ritual alcohol and meat are consumed as sacraments. Drinking alcohol symbolizes the ‘intoxication of duality’; eating meat, the transmutation of death into deathlessness—since meat is a literal corpse. The poisons of alcohol and meat represent our stupidity, dullness, and base desires—what are called the three poisons of passion, aggression and ignorance in Buddhism.
Parallax Review
Rezension: Syntheimus, von Bard & Söderqvist
Ich habe "Syntheismus" - gemeinsam mit Tom Amarque - aus dem Englischen übersetzt, daher kann ich mir vielleicht einige Anmerkungen zu dem Buch erlauben. Es ist eigentlich eine Zumutung, das in zwei Seiten "besprechen" zu wollen, aber ich möchte wenigstens einige Andeutungen versuchen, um dieses wichtige Buch zu würdigen.
About Parallax
Parallax is a European online media platform offering constructive and fresh perspectives for the post-post modern age. We publish essays and podcasts, webinars and lectures, and are a hub for original and heterodox thinking.
The word ‘parallax’ stems from the old greek παράλλαξις parállaxis, which means to shift the viewpoint of the observer. The name suggests psychoactive and alternative sense-making, as opposed to mainstream narratives and ideologies.
Through our work with various European ‘digital tribes’, we create media and Bildung (education), and promote social, cognitive and spiritual development. Moreover, we aim to provide a European counterpoint to the dominant anglo-saxon narratives.
