Anatomy, Physiology—and Mind: The Philosophy of the Flesh
"The Soul is greater than the hum of its parts."
Ruth Steck
Who are you?
Where in all the meaty mass we call ‘the body’ do you reside?
When you say ‘I’ do you mean the lips that shape the word, the cords that strum the air, the air itself, the lungs and heart, the chemicals that bridge the gaps in answer?
Who asks? Who answers?
Come—have the Conversation of your life!
In a series of lectures and experiential occasions, we will explore the awe-making import of being-in-body—a condition, a psycho-sensory situation, wherein fields and strange forces are linking us like legos to the All of It.
Maybe you want to deepen your awareness and knowledge. Maybe you hear the clock ticking for yourself, for civilization. These occasions are crafted to serve those interested in knowing themselves, their time and their world--from the inside out.
No matter who: if you are human, the subject is you.
