Publicly, she covered her shame with self-deprecating jokes, and her career flourished, but as the blackouts accumulated, she could no longer avoid a sinking truth. What did I say last night? How did I meet that guy? Mornings became detective work on her own life. She often blacked out, waking up with a blank space where four hours should be. Drinking felt like freedom, part of her birthright as an enlightened twenty-first-century woman.īut there was a price.

My congratulations to JA Andrews for a magnificent trilogy! It has been an overwhelming experience of hope, resilience, determination, faith in oneself to overcome the fears residing deep within. I couldn’t conciliate sleep after finishing the book! It left me with a warm feeling, albeit the loss and sacrifices. This is where everything comes to its final, spectacular conslusion. I found myself wanting to slow down, almost saddened by the impending end. Are the good guys really that good? Are the bad guys really that bad? Or is everyone really more alike than different, separated only by matters of degree, on the same scale of good versus bad. As the story comes to it’s conclusion, we find ourselves questioning our earlier judgements. This story is more like people in real life than typical fictional characters. It’s about how far you might push yourself, and how much of your own humanity you might have to sacrifice to save those you love. There’s a layer of complexity to the story line that not only keeps readers guessing, but lends to a closer examination of the emotional and spiritual stakes in life choices. ![]() ![]() Everything that lives glows with it.It is the source of all vitae, life.” “I am on the side of truth and right and goodness.” ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is a wide-ranging and beautiful deep dive into our felt experience of matter, of aliveness, of death, and beyond and is absolutely not to be missed. Our chat is wrapped up by exploring the invisible dimension. ![]() Andreas guides us through how Western culture and civilization has strayed from so many of these concepts and the trauma that represents on concentric levels. It is also about how we define language and mentorship in response to everything we take in from the interconnected web of life. ![]() Becoming edible is the touchstone for the talk as Andreas walks us through ideas of reciprocal transformation of matter, what it might mean to surrender to impermanence and that transformation, and how death links us to the whole of life and aliveness. This episode is about dissolving the boundaries of a mechanistic worldview and finding a new depth of meaning, reciprocity, and service. Andreas has worked over the years on the concept of enlivenment and looking at the “biosphere as a meaning-creating and poetic reality”. Andreas Weber has studied marine biology and cultural systems alongside his work with theoretical biologist Francisco Varela. ![]() |
