Episode 115 - In Extreme Times

Beginning with the recent tragic shooting in Christchurch, NZ, this episode also considers the emergence of Fridays for Future and the student climate strike that has taken hold in cities and towns throughout the world. 

Michael Meade shows how each event reflects the extremes of life that have become the common condition of our world.  While considering the current moment of unrest and urgency, Meade turns to an old story that involves an earnest young seeker and a wise old sage.  The ancient teaching tale points to “the original mind” as a potential guide for finding ways through the global crises that currently threaten both culture and nature.
