This recording offers Michael Meade’s mythic view of modern economic troubles and the loss of soul that plagues both culture and Nature. Using an ancient myth, Meade shows that creation has two hands: a spirit hand that brings bright beginnings, and a soul hand that touches darkness and knows how to be creative in troubled times.
“Spirit may offer peak experiences, but soul would lead us down, past the bottom line into the depths of life. The soul does not fear a “downturn” or a bleak period, for it seeks the darker knowledge of genuine wisdom. Soul would take us deeper in order to make us wiser.”
Meade reassures us that in dark times things become both impossible and more possible at the same time. Heralding a return of wisdom and of eros, Meade explains how soul making works and how soul would lead us to the spirit of renewal, but only after some descent occurs.
Full of great wit and healing humor, rich with surprising insights and compelling stories this recording weaves a path through modern troubles while constantly showing how soul would have us understand who we are individually and what we serve collectively. “When all seems lost, the things that are most essentially ours can be found again.”
