Psychology of Mystical Experience (0:00) The Paradox of Life & Death // Nature & the Anxiety to Survive (13:00) Nothingness // Contrast as Oneness (33:00) “I’m now 57 years old, and a lot of people are dead at 57. I look at this problem with complete fascination. You all have to face it. We’re all going to evaporate and turn into bones and dust.
