Seeking Mount Parnassus

By: Derek & Katana
  • Summary

  • Astrologically-inspired dharma talks about philosophy, love, and how to be a wide-awake human in a dark age.

    This podcast has no labels and no limits – we bring into it all of who we are and share our writings and conversations out of the simple motivation to express ourselves freely, and to come to our own understandings of all of the things that give meaning to our lives.

    Our interests range from astrology, buddhism, and energy work to anarchism, skateboarding, horses, and poetry. We are writers, explorers, questioners, and instigators; we are also deep thinkers and deep feelers. Having grown tired of shallow, stupid, unoriginal conversations, we decided to open the door to our own inner world, and send out a beacon to any others trying to keep their flame alive in the darkness.

    We invite you to join us on the path to Mount Parnassus. If we can meet there and bring our small flames together, we can blow on them and tend them together until they grow into a magnificent blaze.

    Just in time for the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus happening on April 20, 2024, we talk about what liberation actually means to us: liberation from slavery, liberation from capitalism, liberation from ego, liberation from the small human world of “rationalism.” We share some stories from our experiences as undercover investigators of what we call the “horse poop economy” in New Mexico, expose the phony gurus running desolate retreat centers, and tie it all back to what’s happening with Buddhism in America right now…. a wild and unpredictable ride, as usual! At the very end Katana reads her piece about what it means to be a Vajra Warrior.

    The three pillars of our spiritual path are: Death is no big deal (at the base of the triangle), Be Yourself (On one side of the triangle), and Do What You Love (pointing to the peak of the triangle, which is liberation!).

  • Welcome the Great Bodhisattva of Hell
    Apr 5 2024

    Here we are in the midst of another season of uncertainty and change, right in the middle of the Aries-Libra eclipse portal with a blast of Aries energy: North Node, Sun, Venus, Mercury (retrograde), Chiron, and soon to be the new Moon in Aries as well! A big infusion of warrior medicine, and an excellent opportunity to refresh our memories about what spiritual warfare really means, and how to engage in it with honor and courage on a day-to-day basis. We share some personal info about the changes in our lives, as well as one of our other new ventures, LandHorse Consulting -- if you’re curious to know more about what we’re actually up to in life, please check out our new website at www.landhorseconsulting.com.

    We are trying to welcome the Great Bodhisattva of Hell by taking the medicine of suffering and transmuting it into ruthless compassion. Our wish for this podcast is that the truth of our experience will help inspire others to face their own lives with courage, honesty, and Aries-style ACTION!

  • Chutzpah Up the Ying-Yang
    Mar 21 2024

    Welcome to Season 3 of our podcast! Today’s discussion was a quintessential example of how we work: no real agenda, no guidelines, no specific topic – we just follow the inspiration where it leads, and speak honestly and authentically from the heart. This is what it’s like to be alive and living outside the bounds of mainstream society – wild, unruly, deep as hell, and connected to all things. We talked a little bit about Gene Simmons, a little bit about horses, and quite a bit about Derek’s story of transformation. A real, human, alive conversation that we hope you will participate in.

    This episode is dedicated to Toni, whose death two years ago today was a catalyst for Derek’s spiritual awakening, and whose courage in facing the ultimate transformation inspires both of us to live as fully as we can each day.
