Summary: Stephen Buhner author of The Secret Teachings of Plants discusses how ancient and indigenous peoples learned about plants FROM the plants themselves and that this powerful way of learning is availabe to us all.
This seems like a fascinating topic, but while I saw a "play" button, I didn't find any way to download an .mp3. I don't listen to audio programs while sitting at my computer. Too many things competing for my attention, and text wins over audio every time.
thank you so much; great interview, great guy, awesome book! To me this book opens the door to the truth that eden is and ever shall be, we never left the garden for we and the garden are one and to pretend otherwise is to live in ignorance and misery for the kingdom of heaven lays within and is at hand as it always has been there is truly nothing between us but mistaken beliefs. Those that have ears to hear, let them hear: Fear not, for love is the only authority!
This is an interview with author Stephen Buhner about the cognitive powers of the human heart, and it?s ability to perceive things that the brain cannot. While this should make for fascinating radio, several factors in this piece make it less satisfying than it could be. The interview is conducted over a poor phone line which at times makes it difficult to understand what Buhner is saying. This is a discussion about big and complex concepts, and every word counts. And because the topic is so cerebral, I found myself wishing that the interviewer had focused the discussion on one or two major points in the book, rather than trying to cover as much ground as she does. An occasional challenging question would have made the discussion more dramatic and lively. Despite these issues, Buhner comes through as a compelling thinker, and I find myself wanting to learn more about the concept of direct perception.
The subject matter would be fasinating if the quality of the audio were sufficent to understand the interviewer and Mr Buhner, who apparently appears by telephone. The microphone was incapable of converting the voice into something more than rattles. Some folks call it distortion of the signal. I don't mind calling it that too.
I urge a re-recording. I would love to hear and understand what both have to say.
