Course Description:
This course takes a philosophical deep dive into a number of topics fundamental to human life on Earth. Dr Peter Merry explores the history of these topics, how they have influenced the human story and what the implications might be in each area as we look to create a civilization that works for all life. Topics include economics, subtle fields, leadership, human ecology, volution, the trinity, science and spirituality, time, thought, language, geomancy and crop formations.
By the end of this course you should be able to:
- describe some fundamental patterns in the human story and current transition;
- move meaningfully across a number of core topics in a deep and broad discussion of life;
- question your own perceptions and explore curiously into the unknown;
- articulate your opinion on the current human condition and emerging future; and,
- interact respectfully with those holding differing opinions to your own.
