Eric discusses the current pandemic and our overreaction to it, places it in a historical and geopolitical context, reflects on the fear of death, on the greater imbalances the crisis illuminates and on our reactions when the environment no longer feel safe and predictable. He touches upon conspiracy theories and fear as a doorway to silence. He further answers questions on the role of marriage, sex and love in spiritual growth, on the place of ritual in our lives and on our relationship to our conditioning. This talk is hosted by Jeanric Meller.
