The Poetry of the Spiral Ladder

A conversation from earlier in the year. Posting here for the first time for Substackers:

"Delve into the intricate relationship between flow and resistance in the universe, and the essential human engagement with beauty, goodness, and truth. Iain McGilchrist discusses the significance of asymmetry with Andrea, as well as the limitations of dichotomous thinking, and the richness found in embracing the complexity of life. The dialogue covers themes from Dr. McGilchrist's research and books, focusing on the importance of intuition, imagination, and our interconnectedness with nature and each other. The discussion also touches on the transformative power of poetry and art, the impact of modern digital distractions on our ability to connect deeply with the world, and the philosophical reflections on life, death, and the constant state of becoming that defines our existence. A truly moving conversation."
