Commusings: The Course of Nature

COMMUNE
About this episode

To quote Alan Watts, “If you want to understand the metaphysical, then deeply study the physical.” This musings explores the principle that, hidden in the patterns of physiology and ecology, is the operating system of the universe, the Tao, the course of nature.


Commusings is our format where we take a moment to think deeply on the topics of spirituality, philosophy, and culture. For more musings and quotes, connect with us on Instagram at @onecommune or @jeffkrasno or sign up for the Commusings newsletter at onecommune.com.
