Dr Ian Mcgilchrist has vision and is helping me on my spiritual journey - Thankyou

Dr McGilchrist thank you…there are just no words…this (and your life’s work) is an astonishing, breathtaking gift to humanity. Where can we begin our gratitude for your soul…🤍🕊🙏🏻

I’ve just finished listening and heard the concluding poem spoken with sadness I believe and I am humbled .

With the deepest reverence and appreciation for your wisdom , Dr. Iain McGilchrist. 🙏❤️🌎🌿🕊🎵🎶🎵

Wonderful

Thank you IM… another inspired lecture from such a profound mind and amazing soul… I just feel privileged to listen to this and learn - as usual!

As usual, excellence

"When I meditate, I feel in the thoughts and images that throng about me the reflections of personality; but there are also windows in the soul, through which can be seen images created not by human but by the divine imagination. " George Russell, Candle of Vision

You’re a genius Dr McGilchrist

It's hard to stay sane in a sick society

Watched the complete Tarkofsky collection over Christmas, floored me, this and the music you called throughout the cast, so apt for our times. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing your deepest understanding and thoughts about soul it’s not easy to use language to express. Thank you

I just received this notification and got excited as I'm in Canterbury presently (I live 10 miles away to the east). Alas, sadly, the lecture was given in November so Dr McGilchrist has been and gone. Once home I look forward very much to listening. Dr McGilchrist's books and talks have been a much needed guide through the morass of modern life which I find increasingly difficult, impossible actually, to navigate alone.

Thank you, Dr McGilchrist. This whole talk is truly a blessing beyond words - a feast for the soul - and bears within it the very seeds of hope. A hope and depth of truth beyond the grasp of flint or muscle. A treasure from the very heart of God. Be blessed. Jesus Christ is Lord. Alan (SE9) 🔥 🙏 🕊

Its one of my hopes to be in the presence of this man and ask a few questions about jung, the crest for royal british legion and mithras being he that found the way of the meek

At 24:26 one could add Proverbs 20,27 ‘The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly’. The Hebrew for spirit is נשמה (Neshamah) which is the same as נשימה (breath).

I wonder if there will be a cleaned up transcript or anything containing that to be published which I could obtain.

You must know of John Welwood and Dr David R Hawkins surely, as your work does definitely intersect which is great! I also hate to point it out but correct me here otherwise: Lao Tzuh * The U is pronounced more silently like an 'uh' Westerners can use 'Laot -Zuhh' to sound it out easier ('Ts' in Russian Alphabet is similar) - I am thrilled that you are familiar with Taoism! I spent my early 20s studying the Tao Teh Ching and bought your first book for my Dad! Thanks for your work!

At minute 20:20 For any who are curious about Dennett's understanding: "It’s this expandable capacity to represent reasons that we have that gives us a soul. But what’s it made of? It’s made of neurons. It’s made of lots of tiny robots. And we can actually explain the structure and operation of that kind of soul, whereas an eternal, immortal, immaterial soul is just a metaphysical rug under which you sweep your embarrassment for not having any explanation.” - Daniel C. Dennett. Misrepresentation by omission?

I don't think so, it's very simplistic and reductionist as a full quote , whilst thinking itself as more sophisticated than other views, without any justification I can see.

The full quote is even more clodhopping than the line Iain quoted. Absolutely not misrepresentation.

' and we can actually explain the structure and operation of that kind of soul ' - that's for the birds ..so far nothing even remotely close to explaining consciousness has been put forward never mind the soul.

Mind without neurons? I'll have to update my understandings of mind science and the philosophy of mind. @@damianclifford9693
