In this episode of Echoes of Alchemy with Lotus Sound, Jay shares the profound chapter "Spiritual Materialism" from Chögyam Trungpa's seminal work, "Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism." As we unpack the concepts laid out in the text, we can explore the idea that spiritual practices can sometimes become material possessions in their own right, used by individuals to bolster ego rather than to attain true enlightenment. Alongside the reading, Jay briefly shares a little about Trungpa's own dramatic life story, highlighting his escape from Tibet and how his experiences shaped his teachings on spirituality and materialism. Join us as we look at how these teachings can be applied to our everyday lives, helping us to connect more deeply with our true selves and the world around us.Books mentioned on this episode:Cutting through Spiritual Materialism / Chögyam TrungpaTrue Perception: The Path of Dharma Art / Chögyam TrungpaLotus Sound is a sound wellness studio located in Collingwood Ontario Canada offering Sound training, Retreat days, Sound baths, Kirtan and more.Website https://www.lotussound.ca/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/lotussound.ca/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/lotussoundcollingwood/

On this expansive episode of “Echoes of Alchemy with Lotus Sound”, Jay dives deep into the intriguing world of 432hz and 440hz in an effort to uncover a bit of insight regarding the historical records and modern theories surrounding 432Hz and 440Hz. At the end of this episode, Jay plays a bit on 2 of his favourite instruments, one of which is tuned to 432Hz and one that is tuned to 440Hz for a meditative comparison.For decades, a hidden narrative has woven its way through the music industry, suggesting that the standardization of 440Hz was part of a larger agenda to disconnect us from the natural harmony of the universe. Proponents of 432Hz argue that this alternate tuning frequency is not only in tune with the Earth's vibration but also possesses healing properties and the ability to open our minds.Join us as we explore the origins of this pitch controversy, from alleged decisions made in smoke-filled rooms to historical records and the New Age movement's embrace of 432Hz as a tool for spiritual awakening. We'll examine the claims of manipulation and control versus the search for a universal sound that heals and unites. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the power of sound and the truths and myths that surround these frequencies.Prepare to be tuned into a story of intrigue, fantasy, science, creative marketing and spirituality. By the end of our journey, you might just find yourself questioning everything you thought you knew about the music you listen to and its impact on your well-being and consciousness. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, this episode promises to be a harmonious blend of mystery and enlightenment.
