Speakers: Terence McKenna, Ralph Abraham, and Rupert Sheldrake
These 3 podcasts are the continuation in a series of podcasts consisting of three great minds explaining what-ever topic they feel like.
The Resacularization of the World – bringing back a Mother Earth religion
Terence McKenna:”But if this Anima Mundi thing got going, this is not a fine tuning of Christianity this is, at last, the overthrow of it. . . . no more this patriarchal, masculine, dominator thing that has descended down through monotheism.”
Comments: Seems to align with a few new-agey books I have just read. Initially we had the feminine/mother religions, currently we are at the tail end of the masculine/dad religions, next may be an equal partnership guy+girl energy balanced religious era.
Education in the New World Order – improving the education system through workshops
Ralph Abraham:”I was pleased to discover that the higher educational system of Europe and America was not getting worse and worse, it was always this bad.”
Comments: This podcast was a bit dry for me. I think they might have updated all of their educational ideas if the Internet was up and running back then. They might prefer web based, self paced, free internet web page course for anyone interested in any topic. Like an enhanced Wikipiedia with every page also including a free learning module covering that page’s topic. This can at least potentially work for a billion students 24×7.
The Apocalypse
Terence:”I think we’re standing on the lip of a hyperdimensional volcano of some sort, toward which all history is being poured at a great rate.”
Comments: Always a fun topic. Y2K was maybe a half-hearted self fulfilling prophecy we sort of tried, but backed out near the end. Maybe 2012 will have Terence’s book read idea of a time machine being invented and launched. This machine moving off ahead in time triggering apocalyptic events. Or at that precise instant allowing the billions of future time machines to come back as far as that moment. Time’s edge.
