As one of the administrators of the large and globally growing Hegel Study Group on Facebook, I explain my reason for starting this podcast.  I review my personal development through various psychological, philosophical, New Age, and scientific teachings.  This introductory episode includes discussion of my progress through the I-Ching, Gurdjieff/Ouspensky, the Rosicrucian Order, A Course in Miracles, the nature of time, and how this eventually led me to the philosophy of G.W.F Hegel.
