New writings, McGilchrist, and our Changing Times
Dear Friends,
time is moving quickly these months, but we’ve started up with more writing again, as well as having deeper dives into Science and Cosmology, and working on the balance and harmony of the brain hemispheres - in the spirit of a Renaissance Age.
Main projects have been a group study and reading of Dante’s Inferno in July and August, and having a new deep look at the field of Astrophysics and the nature of Galaxies in September and October.
We’ve also organized the writings with three new substacks, “The Phoenix” is now the main blog with updates a few times a week, plus we have two new specialized substacks for Dante and for Cosmology.
The links are here:
burningphoenix.substack.com - Main blog
thesacredpoem.substack.com - Deeper writings about Dante
cosmologyscience.substack.com - Explorations into Cosmology and Science
And here are some recommended posts to get started!
And finally - for everyone interested in McGilchrist’s work - this 40 minute interview from a few weeks ago might be one of the best introductions and overviews to his overall thesis and how it applies to the strong changing currents of our times. Maybe especially the points about treatment of illnesses on both a personal and a cultural level. This clip is highly recommended:
Thank you for the continuous support, and a special thank you to everyone who has contributed with inspiring and stimulating conversations over the last few months. The potential for better days might be greater now than it has been for a very long time.
With best wishes for a beautiful autumn,
Richard Emerson
