    A Lecture by George Ohsawa from 1965

    Tears Of Gratitude Podcast Episode 4 December 23, 2022 “George Ohsawa On The Failure Of Occidental Science On The Study Of Matter.” I am happy to introduce you to the THIRD of three audio recordings done by Jacques De Langre in the 1960s. What follows is a very rare recording of George Ohsawa giving a lecture at the Macrobiotic Summer Camp in California in 1965. The recording captures most of the lecture in it’s entirety and starts shortly after the lecture begins. The full recording lasts about one hour and 34 minutes. The recording begins with Ohsawa introducing a recently published (1962) LIFE Science Book on MATTER, written by Ralph E. Lapp, a renowned nuclear physicist of the time. Ohsawa spends the entire lecture discussing the content of this book and of Occidental Modern Science in general and contrasts it with ancient Oriental philosophy and his Unique Principle. This recording offers a rare glimpse into the actual dynamics of Ohsawa’s teachings, how he engages and critiques his audience and expresses his line of thinking. My full analysis of this lecture and it’s impact will be forthcoming and made available to read and comment here on “Tears Of Gratitude” for paid subscribers only. For some, Ohsawa may be difficult to understand due to his accent and occasional interjection of French words (French was his second language and English was his third). A full transcript will be made available to paid subscribers of “Tears Of Gratitude” newsletter. If you wish to receive this transcript then please upgrade your subscription. Enjoy.

    A Michio Kushi Lecture from May 29, 1967

    Tears Of Gratitude Podcast Episode 3 December 23, 2022 “Michio Kushi On The Three Doctors, Seven Stages of Illness and more.” This is the SECOND of three audio recordings done by Jacques De Langre in the 1960s. The following is a recording of a lecture by my father, Michio Kushi, done on May 29, 1967 in Los Angeles. The recording begins after the lecture has already started where Michio is in the middle of explaining how to prepare a ginger compress and other remedies. He answers questions about remedies in general and then proceeds to introduce a friend and student, John Fountain, who then proceeds to talk for about 25 minutes about his experiences on cooking. Michio then resumes speaking for over an hour until the recording abruptly stops while he is introducing energy meridians of acupuncture. The entire recording is about one hour and fifty minutes long. Listeners should be forewarned that Michio speaks with a fairly thick accent and may be difficult for some to understand fully. A full transcript will be made available in the near future for paid subscribers only. If you wish to receive these please upgrade your subscription. For more information about this other teachings by my parents, Michio and Aveline Kushi visit the “Tears Of Gratitude” newsletter on the substack platform.

    The De Langre Tapes

    Tears Of Gratitude Podcast Episode 1 December 23, 2022 “The De Langre Tapes” Many years ago Philippe De Langre, son of Jacques De Langre, contacted me about wanting to pass on some audio lecture recordings that his father had done of Georges Ohsawa and of my father, Michio Kushi and asked if I were interested in them. I absolutely was but it wasn’t until November of 2021 that I was finally able to visit Philippe in Asheville, North Carolina where he dug them out of storage. His brother, Thomas, was there also and we not only recovered the audio tapes but also started pouring over the hundreds of slides that Jacques had taken at many macrobiotic summer camps over the years. I took a handful of slides of people I recognized and couple of large prints of George and Lima Ohsawa that Jacques had taken with a promise of coming back someday to go through them all. That has yet to happen. I immediately found a local video shop in Asheville able to do digital conversions of audio recordings and put the tapes in their hands. The only problem was that their reel to reel player had broken and they were searching for a new one. However, they promised that as soon they found one then they would complete the work. It took them several months but they finally finished the job. The end result was set of 5 recordings. Of these five only three proved to be valuable and interesting: the first being the 1965 lecture of George Ohsawa; the second, a lecture by Michio Kushi from 1967, and the third is the audio presentation by Jacques De Langre. The other two were either too damaged or contained information of uncertain value. The Ohsawa lecture contained distortions in speed and pitch and had to be corrected, which I did myself to the best that I could. Michio’s lecture was in good shape. Jacques’s audio presentation was also in great condition as he was intentionally talking directly and clearly into the microphone the whole time. I am sure a professional audio engineer could greatly improve the quality of these recordings. Until then, they are of the best quality I can offer. And so, after more than a year, I am happy to present to you, the three original De Langre recordings for your enjoyment over the holidays. You will receive three separate posts and links to the recordings. and podcasts. These are being made available to all subscribers of “Tears Of Gratitude” (phiya.substack.com) and subscribers of “The Teachings Of Michio And Aveline Kushi” (michiokushi.substack.com) for a limited time period. Full transcripts of the George Ohsawa and Michio Kushi lecture recordings will be made available in the near future for paid subscribers only. If you wish to receive these then please upgrade your subscription to a paid subscriber status, thank you. I will also be providing a full analysis in retrospect of the nearly 60 years of transformation the macrobiotic movement has gone through since these talks were given. Again this will only be made available to paid subscribers. Thanks again and happy holidays. Get full access to 忝涙 Tears Of Gratitude at phiya.substack.com/subscribe
