The New Millennium with Jean Houston

MP3 Download

"We are in a huge mind/body quake," says Jean Houston, "moving towards levels of ourselves that we never thought to have." This philosopher, psychologist and author describes why she thinks we are living in the most exciting time in human history. From a tremendous amount of world travel and working with various cultural groups all over the world comes her conviction that new ways of being consciously human are emerging beyond any of our current definitions. "We are in whitewater all the time," she says. "It's no longer a quiet pond." She also describes her work on the "living biographies" of Thomas Jefferson and Helen Keller (whom Jean met when she was a young girl). This program was recorded at the 1993 World Parliament of Religions that met in Chicago. (hosted by Michael Toms)
