Tracing modern alienation a looong way back (before protozoa!) he takes a detailed look at what is happening around the world, putting forward an animist view of spirituality that emphasises the fundamental connectedness of all things/life. He looks forward to what he refers to as "the age of reunion", in which technology and human ingenuity is turned to the task of nurturing life and celebrating its difference, spontaneity and chaos, rather than attempting to separate and dissociate ideas and events and thus to bring them under human control.<br />Read by Lyn Gerry from episodes 461-485, made into an audiobook by Robin Upton.'Zumahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12837324501674816683noreply@blogger.com
