This week Phyllis returns to discuss the differences between Western thinking and Eastern thinking. Her knowledge really is astounding.
Unfortunately, the recording equipment really doesn't like the Agnes-Phyllis connection as this week's episode is a bit problematic too, but like last week, it's so worth listening through.
Phyllis mentions valuable readings to get a better understanding of the "knowledge" that exists, especially in Eastern thinking. Her reading list is below:
The Upanshads – Eknath Easwaran The Upanishads have been translated by many however this particular author is one of the clearest, and so his edition is being suggest.
Mahabharata – A story of a war – Shrila Vyasadeva, summarized by Purnaprajna das.
