    I don’t know if I ever told you, but first about 3 years , Odetta husband, Jim Gordon, was my partner. We proudly presented “folk music concerts” all around California. She was almost a spiritual presence…far beyond an entertainment. A force of nature Look up “freedom” by odetta in her prime, and try your hero a tear from your eye I moved on, and do did Dan. But I can still hear her. She died shortly after this piece

    Consciousness may not require self ~ however does that doesnt preclude the concept of consciousness delighting in self ... much like consciousness doesn't require the scent of Rose to experience itself as Flower ... and yet how barren to reduce the riot of diverse aromas, colours and forms ... to Flower. Not to mention that Individual flowers have individual chemistry that is specifically medicinal for humans emotionally, spiritually, mentally and physically. I think human unique finger print is like that. A unique medicine, grown in specific environment that has a unique fragrance to waft upon the world. I wonder why we cannot speak of interconnected Oneness in the same sentence as unique fingerprint .. of course we can ... because I just did 😅 Speaking of fingerprints ... interesting we have these extraordinary swirls on the end of our fingertips with no purpose other that to symbolise unique identity. Which says to me ~ unique identity is worth considering as an important part of the existential equation?

    Love the metaphor that we are perhaps, at moments, like ants in a pheromonal death spiral. I’ve heard someone - I think Joscha Bach - say that humans are currently in a “swarming phase “. So perhaps humanity’s relationship with the field of intelligence is disrupted by this swarming phase we’re in.

    I have just now come across the video from 13 years ago - of course still very timely! Interesting to me as a psychotherapist. Not sure if the information gives me much hope that people who aren’t already have the ability to become advocates for the environment even now when there is more evidence available for climate change and it seems to have sadly become more of a political line drawn in the sand.

    Enriching. My only comment is that I would have liked to have a stronger discussion of Alan Rayner's orientation of Natural Inclusionality. Especially his extensive discussion of the 'excluded middle', and of the linguistic and conceptual limitations of talking about 'connectedness' or 'whole' etc. Even with the best intentions to reopen to the dynamic flow logic of nature, these words manifest the abstract logic of rigid boundaries. Thank you.
