ALOK | Ep 48 | Podcrushed

[@elvisjoelle]

one thing about it, i’ll always watch every podcast Alok is on. they make learning fun, they are so gracious and intentional with what they say and share with the world.

[@AriKitae]

Relating to so much of this. Listening to ALOK is making me realize how much I have covered my vulnerability and desire for connection with a shell of cynicism and distrust. Thank you for platforming them; I'll be seeking them out now.

[@jayalexandertilley]

Alok belongs to a lineage of the greatest love-archers that existence has ever known. Each articulation, an arrow tipped in such intimacy and inclusivity that it is lethal to the loveless sabotage that tries to enslave our hearts and souls. Every word is uttered in defense of spirit, in protection of love's spectral magnitude. Through the perforations created by the poetics of this love-archer, my original and glamorous, infinite lovefull-ness beams, radiates from me as was always the way it should have been. I am in the humblest state to witness this reunion of the child and the elder into the harmony that they belong to. My whole heart is with you, Alok, and all others doing the cosmic work of the chrysalis--Trans...form..ing.

[@callmecristal]

Damn... WHAT. A. PODCAST. I feel this should be a mandatory listen for EVERYONE EVERYWHERE!

[@paulchiuk]

This is touching. A rare combination of intellectual rigour and emotional intelligence. My (Alok conversation) entrance point was a political controversy, but my exit point is spiritual awakening and mission, and I understand that is what they want.

[@Sparkles1819]

Thank you so much for having Alok on! I have listened to this episode at least 5x and have sent it to multiple friends. Thank you, Alok for coming on. TY Podcrushers for great questions! On to look at Thomas Mertons...

[@shamadi11186]

Wow...I loved this episode. Be prepared to write down some profound, brilliant quotes and thoughts about love and life. What a wonderful world it would be with more people like this❤

[@PokhrajRoy.]

It’s so nice to see Alok here! An absolute icon ❤

[@somanyplacestogo]

Yes, we should all get behind CSE advocates!! 🔥kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXy3knStadBmqZI

[@Remika44]

There are so many things that resonated with me that Alok discussed I would literally just be transcribing everything he said. What he would say to his 12 year old self - don’t let people steal your belief in magic - this is exactly what me, at 43 years old, is trying to get back. Such an amazing episode, thank you 🙏🏽 ❤

[@saturnlynn1987]

Alok uses they/them pronouns

[@carolrosangel8595]

I see nothing but wisdom, wholeness, self love and compassion towards others ❤. This is a really profound episode ❤

[@ribbrascal]

I see a raging boring narcissist with a mediocre intellect.

[@patilnaja]

This is an incredible episode, so much heart!

[@danielreader7733]

I didn’t think this podcast episode could get any better until I heard you quote Gabor Mate!! He has been, and is my greatest teacher!! I’m loving this episode, the way you both communicate and relate to eachother is beautiful!

[@KartikChainani]

Just here to acknowledge Nava 👋🏽

[@venkatanithish7757]

I never used to listen any kind of podcasts ...until one day I randomly started listening to one of the Alok's podcasts. Now I'm addicted to all of his podcasts

I love Alok! They've been very inspiring to me as a South Asian on their own gender identity journey. Would love to meet them one day. I loved the discussion around safety too - we each decide for ourselves (or convince ourselves) what makes us feel the most safe. The whole episode gave me so much to think about.

[@deefarl]

I love the way Alok speaks so highly of his friends and friendship ❤ 🎉

[@robbmorris7790]

Alok is living genius. Living love.

[@AnaTorres-lh1yt]

Even when I know my average experience of listening every new episode of this podcast is knowing i'm about to hear deep and meaningful conversations, I didn't expect to be this moved by this episode. Everything said here, every approach is so wholesome and loving, it's left me with lots to think/feel about. Thank you🤍

[@nataliebowerman5594]

Omfg, you guys. I spent the whole last week in the Adirondacks as the chaplain at church camp, with every minute scheduled, and no Wi-Fi. The things I did to still access the audio for this episode 😂. Never heard of Alok, but *love* them now. Suuuuuuuuch a deep spiritual conversation, the kind I love you for ❤. I MELTED when they brought up Thomas Merton, I adore him!

[@ribbrascal]

Woke white women aren't well.

[@margaretvincent9954]

"Cleanses the rust from off the heart," truly! ALOK is the embodiment of that phrase, and gives the space for what that means. They are one of the perfect guests for this podcast. "Cleanses the rust from off the heart," is what this podcast does for me.

[@svetishcana]

this podcast made me cry. so much truth spoken and grief uncovered for all of us.

[@thaismorais8695]

This is insane. Those words are too good to be true. Thanks, Alok. You are magnificent.

[@pchriswolf]

Wow. This was an incredible listen. Alok is really vibrating on a higher plain. Very thought provoking.

[@AmeliaThomasAranega]

Que bueno y que necesario 😄 Gracias 🌿💓💓💓

I thought it was an interview with Alok the DJ hahaha

[@chillest__ruby]

it’s soothing to hear Alok talk about humanity

[@leelaprasadd]

what a mind blowing episode. alok never fails to draw on something deeply profound in all of us.

[@greenteatowel5901]

Aloke calls little girls kinky. Said, "there is no perfect victim" in regard to little girls being SA'd. And you give aloke a platform? Why? Do you support those views?

[@catalinachirita3117]

Exactly

[@eboli7146]

Was looking for this comment. He doesn’t make inappropriate comments like that anymore it seems. All he does is dress like a fruit loop, speak a load of pseudo-spiritual/psychological waffle and spout a victim narrative around his invented identity crisis. It’s actually astonishing how people listen to this fluff as if it’s very wise and profound… it’s not

[@michaelarce646]

xoxo gossip girl

[@catalinachirita3117]

Why did you give this guy a platform? Have you even researched his previous statements about the view of little girls??

[@GwenisImmune]

Disinformation, try again.

[@ytsi7505]

Saying that gender and race have the same ramifications I think is inaccurate

[@_hariata]

Personally for me they do, and for many other trans people of colour, but I guess our lives and experiences are inaccurate?

[@ytsi7505]

@@_hariata I’m coming from a biblical perspective if someone is designated one gender at birth even they they undergo trans there gender doesn’t biblicaly change their laws don’t change according to my knowledge to my knowledge having gay intimacy is against the 7 noahite laws now even if someone goes from male to female trans its still considered male on male intimacy . Race doesn’t have this kind of danger

[@_hariata]

@@ytsi7505 Saying that something is coming from a biblical perspective doesn't make it correct or factual my friend, but you live your life in habitual and willful ignorance if you want to, that's your right :)

Also male and female also exist in the spiritual realm not just how we look but character traits I don't agree with some of the premises that are just accepted that requires answers that you came up with

You are assuming that there is nothing inherently good in what God commands about not acting on gay urges

I don't understand the time stamp you are looking at all laws / human policing as man made if certain separations were put in place by God your argument doesn't stand agree to disagree
