Manage episode 375316913 series 3250345
Joining me in this episode is Tibetan Buddhist practitioner Erik Jampa Andersson. I’m talking to him about his new inspiring book, Unseen Beings: How We Forgot the World Is More Than Human.
Combining his extensive knowledge of spiritual traditions with his passion for ecology and environmentalism, his new book offers a revolutionary perspective on the climate catastrophe bridging history, philosophy, science, and religion. This is a phenomenal discussion on how we can apply the practices and perspectives of animism and mythology offering up new ways of seeing and thinking to learn to become more sensitive towards our beautiful, endangered planet.
His book ponders the question: What will it truly take for humanity to change? This is a powerful episode.
TOPICS INCLUDE:
· How and why we constructed a human-centric worldview
· The Anthropocene as a chronic disease
· How humans are the center of everything.
· Amazing recent discoveries around non-human intelligence
· How religious traditions have dealt with questions of nature, sentience, and ecology.
· Critical connections between human health and environmental health
And this jam-packed episode is only part 1! Unseen Beings is a seriously brilliant and well-researched book. I hope you love this episode and go read Erik’s book.
