In Ep 18 we finish Section 14 and its emphasis on the difference between philosophy and worldview, which, as Heidegger says, are so opposite no image can even capture their difference for that image would bring them closer than they truly are.

Episode 17: The Most Remote Trembling

In Ep 17 we discuss restraint as “an openness for the reticent nearness of the essential occurrence of beyng” and “the most remote trembling of appropriative intimations out of the remoteness of the undecidable.” We also look at the way in which words failing us is our arrival at the first leap, the juxtaposition of…

Episode 15: The Story To End All Story

In Ep 15 we focus on story vs. non-story. How do you keep a child away from story? How do you teach them non-story?

In Ep 13 we read about Dasein as the site of strife between earth (self) and world (identity), about Beyng as grounded in the abyss of time-space, about how being that is under the domination of the abandonment by being comes to be or not be according to its immediate graspability, usability and serviceability to…

Episode 11: Dislodging from the Worldview

In Ep 11 of Leaping Cholla Podcast we read about surpassing the objectively present determining transcendence that assumes the human being is already known, discuss the connection between Event and Beyng and what the changing of that one letter (Being – Beyng) might mean, and thrill at the urgency of feeling alien to the “light…
