Video version here ?  Richard served as program director at the iconic Esalen Institute for a decade where he rubbed shoulders with great minds like Joesph Campbell, Terence McKenna, Ram Dass, Alan Watts, James Hillman, and many more. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of world history, philosophy, and spiritual traditions. Richard also authored the incredible, Cosmos and Psyche. In it, he painstakingly connects the microcosm to the macrocosm by linking major events in world history to happenings in the cosmos. In this one, we riff on the wide influence of Plato, the importance of learning the language of archetypes, the impact of Carl Jung, putting the soul back into psyche, the meaning crisis, the value of visionary experiences, and much more. ?
