A New Idea of What We Are Part I
Note: I hope you enjoy this post from over four years ago. It feels like a good time to revisit these ideas. To paraphrase Terence McKenna, “Our world is in crisis because of the absence of consciousness. We need to explore new ideas of who we are.” I know for a fact that in the […]
Because the Earth Has a Lot to Tell us
Last time I told you about the documentary I was interviewed for while in San Francisco. A few days ago Jeff Williams, the producer, sent out this newsletter. He’s also a geologist, and the subject of the documentary.
In What Can We Trust?
Last night I had two dreams, my first since the presidential election. They were helpful, and I hope they might be helpful to some of you.
