…on June 6th 1998, way back before Windows 98 was even released, and we'll join Ralph Abraham, Terrence McKenna and Rupert Sheldrake as they ponder over the evolution of consciousness. We're going to talk about the evolutionary mind this morning. It's a…

…probably as anxious as I am to hear today's show. In the last podcast you heard Terrence McKenna, Ralph Abraham and Rupert Sheldrake introduce themselves and explain their concept for these trilogues. In today's program I'm going to play the first side of…

…whole new way of linking systems together, thinking about solutions, thinking about the past and ourselves in the world. Right well I'm Rupert Sheldrake. As you've all gathered, I'm here with my wife jo, where is she? Oh, there she is. I just said I was…
…in Terence's Living room. The phone rang. Terence answered and he says we have to go to the bus station to pick up Rupert Sheldrake. I said who's that? It sounds vaguely familiar who's that? So in the car on the way to the bus station, Terence gave…

…that you could know that you were going to have an ecstatic trip. Well, that is an intuitive understanding of what exactly Sheldrake was saying. The reason I've been thinking about this recently was because I was at a conference recently on psychedelics, a…

…back on us. Maybe he didn't say it exactly like that, but that's how I'm now thinking about it. What if, like Rupert Sheldrake proposes, and natural laws are actually more like habits? Then what if archetypes are also a sort of a reflecting kind of…

…my mind is spinning. Hi, Terence. I was at the conference at Esalen where you and Mister Abraham and Leonard, pardon me, Rupert Sheldrake, I think, first developed some of these ideas. Is that the book? Is this the book that's come out of that? Well,…
…or some sort. There is no openness to the power of bios, to the fact of a living cosmos. This is what Rupert Sheldrake is always trying to say. The reinvestiture of spirit into matter, the rebirth of the world soul, is a necessary concomitant to…
