Psyche introduces a new series exploring the 64 Divine Arts (chaturashti kala) from classical Indian tradition as practical skills for modern self-cultivation and personal power.
Original TransmissionsIn this episode, Psyche launches an ambitious new series dedicated to exploring the 64 Divine Arts, known in Sanskrit as chaturashti kala. She frames these ancient Indian cultural skills not as museum pieces, but as a living 'spellbook for modern life' that encompasses everything from music and dance to strategy and social intelligence. The host emphasizes that these arts are not mere hobbies but powerful technologies for shaping reality and becoming a fully skilled human being. She outlines her approach of examining each art through three key questions: what it teaches, how it changes the practitioner, and how it can be practiced today. The series promises to cover diverse areas including aesthetics, performance, conversation, coded messaging, and subtle power dynamics, all framed as paths to personal transformation rather than ego enhancement.
Psyche retells the ancient Mesopotamian myth of Inanna's descent into the underworld, exploring themes of transformation, ego death, and the cyclical nature of rebirth.
Episode 142 consists entirely of a musical opening with dramatic spoken-word lyrics and vocals, likely setting an atmospheric tone for the show.
Trix explores the first of the 64 arts - Gita, the divine art of singing - focusing on voice sovereignty as breath control, emotional mastery, and spiritual power.
