    I was so helped by reading her novel, The Other Side of You. Too bad it is out of print but the library has it. It is like getting therapy from a book with more wisdom than I could hope to find from a therapist, from my life experiences. I must read all of her novels! Thank you Iain for interviewing her and for letting us in on a great conversation.

    This is such a wonderful and beautiful conversation. Thank you Salley amd Iain.
    Salley mentions that her second favourite children's book is Tom's Midnight Garden. She then goes on to talk about coincidences. Well, yesterday my son and I chose this very book from the charity second hand book shelf in Tesco. This isn't something that I have done before.

    Are neither of you aware of Nassim Haramein's ground-breaking work in physics which has turned the standard model of physics upside-down? He validates everything you're talking about. He has provided formal proofs for his hypothesis which reveals the actual mechanisms which create reality (the nature of which you are discussing) but the left-hemisphere power player have so far kept him under wraps. Please see 'Resonance Science Foundation" (RSF) for info on his discoveries and his work with the foundation.

    Once having been a ' poor' kid , I can attest to the intrinsic value of having a tree for a companion .He was an ancient White Gum, not always silent but
    towering. A solitary giant. King of the whole plateau, ever present,( at least when needed ,that is ! )
    I miss him but lately enjoy time near my new friend; a Black Pine, native to the other, i.e. , northern hemisphere.......
    What a wonderful conversation !
    Many , many thanks ..and oh! Could I please borrow a team of those brilliant , industrious mice ?

    I consulted with the Consortium of the Dead Philosophers Society. Plotinus is thrilled with the good doctor's work and expresses deep gratitude for this bestowed blessing.

    Delightful and inspiring! Struck that the conversations ranges from particle physics thru children’s literature and trees in Genesis…

    People always say intelligent oeople see faces in objects and environments.
    Well, sometimes i see entire sculptures in rucked up tea towels, or beautiful calligraphic warriors in coffee stains, I've seen paintings in patterns of light...
    Is this really novel though, does everyone see these kinds of things?

    It's perhaps not the science dictating our lifestyle (consumer/cultural/political), but the business of science. We glorify technology in a sacrifice of human (sustain)ability.

    Interesting discussion and delighted to be reminded of Tom's Midnight Garden which was a book I read when I was so young I half-imagine that I just dreamed it. Anyway, thanks for the partial restoration of those old memories. One point I can't let pass however is the suggestion that covid was a punishment by the gods. Besides the fact that I find such an idea fundamentally distasteful and recall how Christian groups had made similar claims during the 80s when AIDS first appeared, such a view is also grounded on the suppression of available information. For instance, if you simply go to wikipedia and look up Jeffrey Sachs you can read that as the appointed Chair of The Lancet 's COVID-19 Commission he eventually reached the conclusion not only that the virus was almost certainly manufactured in a lab but "he is 'pretty convinced,' though 'not sure' that COVID-19 came out of 'US lab biotechnology,'” That the Chair of the Lancet Commission today makes these claims is never mentioned anywhere in the mainstream and wikipedia (which is another part of the mainstream) basically dismisses his statements out of hand, but this should not to detract from the seriousness of Sach's allegation or the need for further investigatons. In short, the jury is still out on the origins of covid, but there's a high likelihood that it was not the work of god or gods, but of humans all along.

    Speaking of Against Criticism... I’ve recently been familiarising myself with the work of
    Scott Mannion, he breaks poetry down a lot; the lyrics of Rule Britannia, for example. Personally I really appreciate it; I would be very interested to know if you, Iain, would say Mannion is guilty (?) of what you found so off-putting as an under-graduate. If so... or more so, if not, I think it could make for a very interesting discussion topic for you and Mannion to explore.

    Not a plug. Distinguished Professor Stephen Davies (philosopher - Auckland University). Wonderful writer on aesthetics. But would now and then share his politically philosophical views. The Artful Species, in particular.

    Another deeply illuminating discussion, thank you! As a big fan of your work, yesterday I uploaded a video discussion about “The master and his emissary” on my youtube channel, which will be the first of 3. Please take a look at it if you’re interested.

    Gods created from existing materials the physical world . These was the seven sages in hindou texts, the seven archangels of the abrahamics, the seven emaa-spentas of zoroastria . These seven was émanations from the one . They named these seven after each day of the week.

    Hi Ian, that wonderful orgasm-like feeling you described sounds like your Kundalini awakened... supposedly helps with intuition.
