…I'm completely with you that I think Christianity has quite as much as any other great tradition. And I'm glad that we can at least touch it in our conversations. And hopefully, you know, our listeners feel it as well. So thank you. Thank you, Mark.

…going to be no simple resolution of these questions. But what is nice is to feel that at least some richer questions are possible to ask, at least in Barcelona, if not in Greece. So, yeah, thanks, Rupert. That was very fascinating. Good. Thank you, Mark.
Hello, I'm Rupert Sheldrake. I'm here with Mark Vernon for another of our dialogues. Hello, Mark. Hi there, Rupert. Hey. Today, I hope we can talk about patron saints and saints in general. One reason I'm so interested in the topic is that, as you know,…

…as protectors of the place, their spirits of the place. Sometimes the saints are well-known international saints like Saint Mark, your own patron saint, Saint Matthew, Saint John, etc. Sometimes they're very local saints, especially in Wales and Cornwall…
…the saints was abolished at the Reformation in England. They couldn't abolish the saints that are in the Bible, like St. Mark, St. Luke, St. John, etc. But all these Celtic and Cornish saints were nowhere mentioned in the Bible because they happened…
…of what it might be like to reach out to a saint and to see where it might take you. Well, it's a wonderful story, Mark, and I hadn't heard this thing about kneeling down and the milk of Mary. No, that's a wonderful thing. It was also such a…

…beginnings of a returning to a vision of what we're about that can be built into all our activities with the natural world as well, of which we're a part, of course. So thanks very much. That's to say, thanks very much indeed, Rupert. Thank you, Mark.
Hello, Mark. Hi there, Rupert. Today, as a part of our ongoing series of discussions, I wanted to talk about end of life experiences in animals. This may seem a surprising topic, but the reason I'm interested in it is that I've been interested for a…
…of proof point as if life can be rescued if you can show that something 2000 years ago happened for certain. Quite agree, Mark. And I think that these studies on the natural history of dying and death, are really helpful. And I think actually comparing…
…the business of living is caught up in this as well and not closing that down. This is all very fascinating. Thanks very much indeed. Well, thank you, Mark. We'll have to leave it there for now, but we may return to this at some stage in the future.
…my image of you right now is on a computer screen about two feet in front of me. I don't think my image of you, Mark, is inside my brain. I think it's on the screen where it seems to be. And therefore my visual field is projecting out your image…
…Yeah, and I'm looking forward to our next collaboration animation. So am I. I very much appreciate the things you've already done, Mark. They're great, and I get a lot of very positive feedback from people about them. Oh, great. Yeah, it's been a thrill…

…forms of energy, they're not artificial. They're all part of the flow. That's part of the whole cosmos. Look on that note, on that experience of what we've been talking about, we should draw to a close. But thank you so much. Well, thank you, Mark.
Well, this evening, our esteemed speakers, Dr. Rupert Sheldrake and Dr. Mark Vernon, are well known to our Temenos audiences. Rupert has been a friend and fellow of the Academy for many years. Indeed, a venerable fellow. I hope he doesn't mind my saying…

…devices are taking over. And yet it hasn't happened. So I'm less pessimistic than many. And I think that in your particular case, Mark, your work's so good and so inspiring that you don't need to worry about AI taking over anytime soon. Wow. Well, thank…
…So I should say, welcome to the 102nd Rupert Sheldrake-Mark Vernon Dialogue. And today I am joined by Rupert Sheldrake. Hi there, Rupert. Hello, Mark. Very good. So I thought one way to try and get into this is to look back and go back to the times…
…you know, Picasso famously makes this remarks when he goes into these caves, we haven't surpassed this work. Well, I like that idea, Mark, and the idea that in the past there wasn't a division between the sacred and art. It was just part of the…

…people like yourself, Gregory Bateson, David Bohm, And then to people writing now, Amy Gilchrist, Nora Bateson, Peter Senge, Bernardo Kastrup, Mark Vernon, and Matt Siegel, who's a great writer about ANY Head. So with that as a context, it would be lovely…
…within Christian theology right from the beginning. In the Gospels, there are four Gospels of course, in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, the view of Christ is sometimes discussed as ascending Christology. Jesus Christ is born a human being. And…
…obviously the last three days I've been taking part, giving a workshop in Grace Cathedral with the Bishop of California, Mark Andrus, who's the most wonderful man. And who is, our workshop was on pilgrimage, revisioning pilgrimage and rediscovering pilgrimage.…
…the divine presence is within the earth as it is within the stars and throughout the universe. I should interject that Bishop Mark is a very highly regarded student at CIS in our PCC program. Well, indeed. The crossover is extraordinary. I mean, whether…
…any plans to do like topic conversations with the people? Oh. Well, I do actually already. I have a series of podcasts with Mark Vernon, who's a very good friend. We've done over 30. We're meeting next week to do the next couple. I've done this whole…
…whole series with Matthew Fox, who some of you may know of. Again, those are on my website. And several with Mark Andrus, who's... the Anglican Bishop of California at Grace Cathedral, who's a great friend of mine. Those conversations are particularly…
…of you may have heard of and some may not, but one of the great prophetic thinkers in Britain in the last few decades. So Mark. Thank you very much, Rupert. You did actually, when I showed you the book, first of all, you did say, oh, it's brief too,…
…say. So it's very nice publicly to be able to pay tribute to what you do, Rupert. I appreciate it very much. Thank you, Mark. So I discovered this chap, Owen Barfield, and again, it was another, quite a sort of revelatory moment, really. I have a bit…
…the light again. So it's a very deep archetype. A lot of hands went up just now. Hi. Yeah. So this is sort of for Mark. I'm going to challenge this a little bit. I'm concerned a little bit about these sort of very big ideas about ascent and descent.…
…that we could have. Well, we're not getting that, are we? So there's plenty of reasons to feel unhopeful. But one reason I think Mark and I had the candle lit for hope is that We have to hope. We just have to hope. Things may go really badly…
…one I started talking about, like cutting down our waste. Well, I think that's a hopeful vision on which to end. I'm sure we could have taken a lot more questions, but thank you so much for a fascinating dialogue, Rupert and Mark. Thank you. Thank you.

…chapels. And they celebrate all these saints' days in the cathedrals. So on St. Mark's Day, in all the cathedrals, they'd mention St. Mark. So what would happen if Marks all went to St Mark's Day services, and Peters all went to St Peter's Day services,…
…of the place, but also of the protector of people who are named after them. Every time one says the name Rupert or Mark, one's also saying a name that resonates with all the other people called Rupert and Mark, and ultimately to the prototype of these…
