In all the connecting we’ve been doing all over the world on Zoom, the most intelligent explorations of consciousness, with some of the smartest, most evolved people in the world that attendees get to interact with, come from the Scientific and Medical Network (SMN), in England. My favorite of their producers, with whom I’m working on things to do at this pivotal time when a shift of worldview is so urgent, is their program director, David Lorimer. David was a podcast guest with whom I had one of my most provocative and inspirational conversations about what we can do now. This series of webinars is derived from his new book, A Quest for Wisdom - Inspiring Purpose on the Path of Life, a collection of his essays about pivotal characters in the evolution of consciousness. He’ll recap what he’s written and we will discuss.
The first Saturday and Sunday of these once-a month weekends did not disappoint, and this weekend is the second one. If you think seriously about where we came from and where we are going you could not be in a better place than this, where it promises to be that rich and rewarding an experience that I’m even willing to be at my computer, in Los Angeles, at 7:30 AM!

Simone Weil, Deodat Roché, and the Cathar Renaissance – Mary Magdalene is revered among the Cathars, whose initiates included both men and women. Simone Weil (1909-1943) was a great 20th century French mystic and philosopher who corresponded with Deodat Roché (1877-1978), who was responsible for the revival of academic interest in the Cathars and was closely connected with Peter Deunov’s teachings. These movements represent a rebirth of the spirit in our times.
