Just coming across this now.... Absolutely so! I saw him in person probably 17 years ago at a workshop he was presenting in Billings MT. The most moving moment for me was his description of standing before a rock formation in England and reaching out and touching it, feeling as though he was one with it. That touched my soul, and I felt such appreciation for him and his clear vision of life and living in harmony with Creation. We split up into pairs, but because there was an odd number of people, I was in a group of three, two nuns and me. It was one of the most catalytic happenings of my life, as they seemed to rely on me and my view of the question posed to us. Theirs was a limited sort of view, but mine was more expansive. I do remember a similar kind of reaction to the child saying he new taht already...some of the things he was saying, I said inside, "doesn't everyone know that?" He has indeed been a gift of insight into living and seeing our world with eyes of wonder.

Swimme and Tarnas have a video together on 'archetypal view' channel. Maybe you've already watched it. I love the idea they allude to, that we are by no means the end product. We are evolution in process. I think the best question one could pose to oneself/meditate on is 'what is true human work?' If you want to get into writing or even finding out where you think your place is in society and as such, the universe as a whole. That would be a great place to put pen to paper.

"I love the idea they allude to, that we are by no means the end product." me too , how about: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i5eKesaIrLjce5s.html @@ewegg1271

+Frank Vazquez we are only "blindsided" by our own restricted worldwide he is far out, but in a good way each of us garner's the information we desire please share a link to this "ancient Indian knowledge" "religion" is not acceptable but you can't take away human "faith" you can blame life's last big twist on hominid's genes for that you know the one that gave homo sapiens grow-able parallel processing power we start each day fresh and quiescent then grow as many synaptic connections as we need for our imaginations

Look let it be plainly stated. It is an unsaid reality that absolutely any and every way of thinking that in any way suggests anything other than life in a universe made of dead matter and without any purpose has been utterly rejected within western academia. Hence people like Steiner, Jung etc. are unheard of in western academia. When the Brits took over India they realized that the compassion of the Indians they conquered put their presumed superior Christian love to utter shame. What did they do? They made sure Indian religion was viewed as at best quaint. At worst superstitious. But in all cases inferior to western thinking. The great god of western philosophy of course is Kant. A white supremacist racist through and through. If you have any doubts about this do some research into it. No the west has a huge amount to answer for make no mistake.

I'm not sure what your getting at exactly here, (i.e. "blindsided by our own restricted worldwide" make absolutely no sense) though I understand on the prior comments about brit domination in India and their whole re-education program to undo traditional knowledge bases. Even the most "educated" in the west are unaware of how programmed their reality is/has been. As for a link to "ancient Indian knowledge", it is hard to bring an ocean into a brief facebook comment. Those sincere enough will dig - though be warned, plenty of garbage out there in this realm as well...

David Watermeyer "No the west has a huge amount to answer for make no mistake." Our actions are indelible. Do you believe that "I" am responsible? If the answer is yes, then how many years into the past do "I" have to pay? The "west" is a large group. I insure that my path, is the path of light. The actions I take cause the least harm to life as possible. This "moment" of creation in which we exist is ever changing. What path will satisfy "a huge amount"? "Look let it be plainly stated. It is an unsaid reality that absolutely any and every way of thinking that in any way suggests anything other than life in a universe made of dead matter and without any purpose has been utterly rejected within western academia." By whom? The sliding scale of belief: 0= no belief in an omnipresent "being" 7= absolute belief in an omnipresent "being" I vote 0 Now as for faith: 100% homo sapiens= yes (at least at birth)
