Kelly Blaser on the philosophical significance of zero
In the 2024 Power of Meditation Summit, Embodied Philosophy Founder Jacob Kyle engaged in a conversation with Kelly Blaser.
They explored various topics including the role of the scholar-practitioner, the philosophical significance of “zero”, and the synergy between knowledge and experience.
Jacob Kyle, with his background in Classical Indian Religions and philosophy, provided insights into the importance of spirituality, particularly within the context of queer identity.
Kelly Blaser, drawing from her expertise in Buddhism, Shaiva and Shakta Tantra, and Somatic Psychology, emphasized the transformative potential of meditation and compassionate self-inquiry.
They discussed how the study of yoga philosophy empowers embodied experience and the need for scholarship to integrate ancient wisdom traditions’ embodied epistemologies.
The episode delved into the symbolism of Nataraja, the dancing Shiva, and the dance of revelation and concealment according to the Tantrik tradition.
