This week’s episode is a spontaneous conversation recorded on the fly after we realised something meaningful was unfolding. Using our little mobile mics, we dive deep into what feels like the heart of our times: the alienation from our true nature and the longing to return to it.
We explore the question at the root of both personal and civilizational crisis: what happens when we forget the ground of our being? From meditation and self-inquiry to the pitfalls of belief and the hunger for direct experience, we trace how disconnection gives rise to confusion, and how remembrance restores clarity.
Along the way, we touch on Paul Kingsnorth, Simone Weil, Jordan Peterson, postmodernism, the collapse (or renewal) of civilization, and the deeper rhythm beneath it all — destruction and rebirth, ignorance and awakening.
It’s an unpolished, wide-ranging dialogue about truth, consciousness, and the mystery of what’s really going on in our world… and in us.
Listen in, reflect, and perhaps remember what’s already whole.
Enjoy.
