Fuzz Sutra

My name is Christian and I am just a somewhat smart guy from sunny California. I like to explore the really big questions. What is consciousness? What happens when we die? What was before the big bang? Who invented frozen pizza? You know, stuff like that. To do this I look for common threads that link together literature, movies, science, comparative religion, philosophy, art, current events, mysticism, politics and pop culture. Then I explore what these common threads are telling us. I hope you join and enjoy. __________ Find me: Visit us on youtube: @FuzzSutra Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fuzzsutra Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fuzzsutra/ Hosted on Acast.

    Top 5 Movies of All Time. But with a twist…

    This week I take a break from our usual heady stuff (kind of) to discuss the Top 5 Movies of all time. But with a twist. The twist is that the movies must comment on the nature of reality through either their themes or meaning. This could be done scientifically, philosophically, or a combination of both. This then takes us on a whirlwind discussion across the topics of A.I. (yes, sorry again), philosophy, comparative religion, history, technology, astrophysics, consciousness and more. What is the deepest movie of all time? Watch and see if you agree. __________ Time Stamps: 0:00 Intro 4:30 #5 Interstellar 10:24 #4 Apocalypse Now 14:40 #3 2001: A Space Odyssey 18:54 #2 The Big Lebowski 23:43 Honorable Mentions 27:04 #1 ? 32:46 What To Watch Next ___________ Links & Attributions: A.I.

    Did We Forget The Myths? Part II: The Birth and Death of the Universe

    This week, we review the second part of Joseph Campbell’s epic ‘The Hero With 1000 Faces’ with a focus on the birth and death of the universe. The myths tell us where the universe came from, where it will dissolve to, and even what happens when we die. Part I of the series focused on the first half of ‘The Hero with a Thousand Faces’ which described ‘The Hero’s Journey’, a common archetype across all myth and religion, according to Campbell. And in Part III we will look at Homer’s Odyssey and the movie by Christopher Nolan and apply the Hero’s Journey to its plot and theme. __________ Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 2:03 Part I Recap 4:55 The Cosmogenic Cycle 5:41 How the Universe Starts and Ends 10:30 Aum and Amen 12:10 From Void To Something 15:22 Where Life Comes From 19:52 Creation Myths / Native American Myth 23:45 Universal Mother and the Virgin Birth 28:18 Back to our Hero 53:53 Jicarilla Apache Myth 35:44 St. Thomas Aquinas 37:03 Death of Abraham 38:55 Death of the Buddha 40:40 The Universe Dissolves 41:15 Norse Ragnarok 43:18 Gospel of Matthew 44:35 The End __________ Links & Attributions: Black Elk Speaks, and What He Says Is Both Tragic And Beautiful https://youtu.be/8Asn8mmAQhI The Big Lebowski: The Definitive Meaning https://youtu.be/fshETNiFC9k Was Einstein a Mystic? https://youtu.be/cuNlfpL3j-c Photo: Jain Temples Palitana, India By Malaiya at en.wikipedia - JAINA, GFDL, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=11868391 __________ Find Us: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FuzzSutra TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fuzzsutra Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fuzzsutra/ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fuzz-sutra/id1889277924 ___________ #odyssey, #josephcampbell . #herosjourney, #herowithathousandfaces, #literature, #religion, #comparativereligions , #folklore , #myth, #spirituality, #history, #mythology, #literature Hosted on Acast.

    The Big Lebowski: The Definitive Meaning, Themes & Philosophy

    In our episode this week we dissect the movie, The Big Lebowski, and find that it is much deeper than we thought at first glance. We know that Maud is tough, that Walter’s got issues, and that the Dude is lazy, but the reason why is quite mind boggling.  Oh and Donny and The Stranger played by Sam Elliott are much more important to the meaning of the movie than we thought… You will never look at this movie the same way. We hope you join us and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. #thebiglebowski, #biglebowski, #movies, #cinema, #philosophy, #religion, #spirituality, #history, #coenbrothers, #nihilists, #absurdism, #dudeism, #gender,  __________ Time Stamps: 00:00 Intro 2:44 Overview of The Big Lebowski 4:40 The Plot 6:45 Socio-Political Commentary 7:27 1960s Bums v 1980s Capitalists 8:14 Male Aggression 10:22 Gender Commentary - Battle of the Sexes 13:40 Maud 14:13 Jesus 14:55 Walter 17:33 Walter versus Nihilists 18:50 The Dude  23:17 The Stranger (Sam Elliott) 27:47 Donny 31:18 The Meaning __________  Links: Was Einstein a Mystic? (FS Episode) https://youtu.be/cuNlfpL3j-c The Heart of Darkness and Apocalypse Now - The Real Meaning Uncovered (FS Episode) https://youtu.be/zyC4Dzyb910 Attributions: Coen Brothers Photo: Created by Rita Molnár 2001 - Own work, CC BY-SA 2.5, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=395747 Joel Coen Quote: - Stone, Doug (March 9, 1998). "The Coens Speak (Reluctantly)". Indie Wire.   _______ Find Us: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FuzzSutra TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fuzzsutra Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fuzzsutra/ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fuzz-sutra/id1889277924 Hosted on Acast.

    Black Elk Speaks. What he says is both tragic and beautiful.

    In our episode this week, we review the book, Black Elk Speaks. This is a tragic, beautiful, and contemplative telling of the cataclysmic fate of the Native American peoples as seen through the eyes of one of their spiritual leaders, Black Elk, and the words of the white man who wrote down his thoughts. We journey from the Battle of the Little Bighorn to Victorian, England. From the Black Hills of South Dakota to ghost worlds in the sky. Epic journeys and tragic events. This episode shook me to the core to produce and I hope you find this as fascinating and thought provoking as I did. #nativeamericans, #wildwest, #blackelk, #blackelkspeaks, #religion, #lakota, #sioux, #spirituality, #history, #literature __________ Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction 2:00 Quick History Colonization and American Expansion 07:20 Black Elk and the Oglala, Lakota 09:15 Background of Black Elk Speaks 13:40 Black Elk Speaks and the Sacred Pipe 16:03 Black Elk’s Childhood and his Great Vision 22:05 The Black Hills and the Breaking a Treaty 24:35 The Sun Dance 26:22 War and the Battle of the Little Bighorn 30:19 Winter, Starvation, and Retreat 32:15 A Medicine Man, Lakota Ritual & Bison 40:00 Black Elk Goes to Europe 42:13 The Ghost Dance & Wounded Knee 47:50 Black Elk’s Epic Traumatic Life  49:45 What Black Elk is Telling Us Today __________  Find Us: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FuzzSutra TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fuzzsutra Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fuzzsutra/ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fuzz-sutra/id1889277924 Hosted on Acast.
