Alan Watts

The Art of Psychoanalysis, part 1

Beginning a three-part Watts lecture on the theme of the art of psychoanalysis. Watts reads in an ironic tone, an article on the subject by Dr. Jay Haley in the publication Et Cetera, supposedly based on research conducted in the US by a visiting student from the UK, based on participation in Freudian psychoanalysis as a patient and a practitioner. Watts leaves us with the question, Is Dr. Haley spoofing psychoanalysis in his article, or promoting and endorsing it, a question Watts will address in subsequent lectures.

Sounds True-Insights from the Edge with Tami Simon

Gabor Maté: Healing Principles to Embody in a Traumatized World

Why do we suppress our authenticity? How do we reconcile the need to accept things as they are with a desire to change them? What is the pathway to healing in a world that’s breaking our hearts? In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with renowned physician and author Dr. Gabor Maté about these profound questions, and how the approach he calls Compassionate Inquiry can help us find the answers within ourselves.

Listen in to this informative, inspiring, and at times “fiery” conversation exploring how to bridge the gap between understanding and embodiment; the “full heart beneath a broken heart”; paying attention to tension; growth, not perfection; the neuroscience of emotions; the connections between sensitivity and addiction; activism and advocacy as an element of healing; the dance of acceptance and agency; psychoneuroimmunology; the search for truth and where it emanates from; and more.



Note: This episode originally aired on Sounds True One, where these special episodes of Insights at the Edge are available to watch live on video and with exclusive access to Q&As with our guests. Learn more at join.soundstrue.com.



Dr. Gabor Maté is an author, speaker, and physician who specializes in addiction, stress, and childhood development. His many books include In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts and When the Body Says No. His signature psychotherapeutic approach, Compassionate Inquiry, reveals what lies beneath the appearance we present to the world.

Old Radio Break: Lux Radio Theater

“It’s a Wonderful Life”

Just in time for Christmas, the radio dramatization of the film that introduced Bert and Ernie before they became muppets, showed us how angels got their wings, and depicted a very prophetic post World War II Potterville – overcome by anti-capitalist human kindness and solidarity and a little heavenly intervention in the film, but perhaps not so much in reality.

Caroline Casey, Visionary Activist from sister station KPFA

THE GUIDING STORIES FOR NECESSARY MIRACLES!

Caroline Welcomes Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb

CWC: “The Guiding Stories for Necessary Miracles!” Rabbi Lynn “Okay. This will be a conversation about revolutionary nonviolence.”

Lynn Gottlieb, one of the first women to become a rabbi in Jewish history, is a pioneer Jewish feminist, activist, writer, visual artist, ceremonialist, community organizer, master storyteller and performing artist. She is co-founder of Shomeret Shalom Global Congregation and teacher of the path of the Torah of Nonviolence. Currently, Lynn is director of Youth and Family Programs at Chochmat HaLev Congregation in Berkeley, CA. (The name translate roughly as “Wisdom of the Heart”)



Rabbi Gottlieb is the author of She Who Dwells Within, “a practical guide to nonsexist Judaism,” published on March 3, 1995. Drawing on Gottlieb’s own experiences as well as on traditional and feminist midrash (stories that comment on Biblical texts), the book combines thoughtful essays on gender and Judaism with new rituals for the important moments in Jewish women’s lives. The title is taken from a translation of the word Shekhinah, traditionally understood as the feminine manifestation or aspect of God.
