À propos de cet audio
On this episode, Jeff takes the time to welcome the listener and set the table for meaningful conversations yet to come. Listeners will take the time to first pause and meditate before contemplating life as a human in the Year 2025 AD. Jeff dives into some of the big challenges facing humanity before putting our problems into perspective - placing the listener in the present as it relates to the vastness of both time and space. We share inspirational quotes from Carl Sagan, James McPhee and astronaut Ed Mitchell. We then help the listener understand the importance of story telling to the human journey (from cosmic dawn to the depths of being). Jeff introduces listeners to one of his influencers, Joseph Campbell, the great American writer and mythologist. We emphasize the symbolic meaning of global religious stories without disparaging them. Jeff invites the listener to embrace humanity as a species of suffering individuals- all fighting to grasp the meaning of life. Finally, we kickoff our journey and prepare for the conversations to follow.
