Sheldrake: Audio Lectures and Interviews

Over the years, I’ve collected a pretty big collection of digital audio and video files on Rupert Sheldrake. I’ve been posting most of the videos at nautis.blip.tv. Here are some mp3 files, too. I’ll post more later when I get them all tagged properly.

Science and Spirit

Why is there such a split between science and religion? Was it always this way? As children, were we taught that this is the proper way of the world? Rupert Sheldrake and Matthew Fox discuss these issues in a fascinating talk in Part 2 of Accessing the Mystic.

Sheldrake on Beauty in Nature

Is beauty an aesthetic creation by God for human consumption or is it something more deeply rooted in nature? Why is there so much beauty in the song of birds or the feathers of the peacock? This clip is from Sheldrake’s discussion with Matthew Fox in the video, Accessing the Mystic from 2006.

VGN-FZ260E XP Drivers

When I posted some XP drivers for the Sony VGN-N320E, I received quite a few comments and email. It seems that many people hate Windows Vista and are anxious to downgrade to XP.

I told him that for the first time in my life I was really optimistic about a presidential candidate. I wasn’t just being forced to choose from two stooges that special interests had propped up.

But there are lots more that don’t. There are people who are donating to Obama’s campaign that can’t afford to donate. People are now voting in primaries that have never voted before. I think that people are beginning to realize that they have been hoodwinked and bamboozled by special interests and incompetence.
