Your ideas and understandings are much in alignment with the teachings of Baha’u’llah! These teachings encourage us to bring ourselves to account each day and make our tomorrow better than yesterday.
How delightful and refreshing to hear your understanding! Another thing you might be interested to know is that the Baha’i teachings state that the natural world, physical reality is an expression of divine will. Each thing from largest to smallest is a door/window into the mind and and into understanding of the divine reality.
Michael's 3 top videos: The inevitable fruit of progress, Deeply adapting to reality and Ingenuity is not optional are indeed very profound and to me, as well, he's one of the most well-read people I've ever met. It's such a pleasure to know him, who's very attentive to his listeners and followers.
The best that has happened in existence is not justified by the worst nightmare suffering that sits in time over millenia. An attitude of gratitude is the only way for people thrown into this life to cope and peacemakers are a blessing. It is an interesting and rather transcendental talk, thanks, though I suspect the bitter existential writers may have more resonance with me.
A heartfelt thank you to both of you for a conversation that has sparked more thoughts and inspiration. Michael S - it was lovely to see your glowing face again and to be reminded of the powerful experiences in Cumbria last year at Jem's retreat. And Michael D - thank you for the reminder that we all have something to gift the world, that time and life are short, and that speaking our truth from the depth of who we are is a job worth doing in these times. Grateful to both of you for the energy and passion you both shared, and for the wonderful resources mentioned in the interview which will be enthusiastically explored and embraced.
Thanks Martine. Good memories of you! Michael is a bright light in this space and his resource list is second to none. Watch one or all of his primers and that list will grow!
Thank you both, that was an interview I will want to watch again. His three areas of moral imperative, really make sense. Michael, a beautiful question at the end. 'What's moving in you now?' and a beautiful wholesome response from Michael about his family and grandchild. Really hope to see more interviews Michael!
It makes me sick when I think we may continue to destroy this planet after we are gone, through nuclear meltdowns. That monstrous threat demonstrates just how dangerous an animal we have turned out to be. But what chance is there that we will ever disable them with altruistic intentions for future life forms? At this point I can barely imagine it.
Really enjoyed hearing more from Rev. Micheal Dowd about his own personal journey. Have listened to many of his podcasts and recordings for others on his journey to understand and deal with the climate crises, worth a listen too : soundcloud.com/michael-dowd-grace-limits/sets
I understand what you're saying by 'embracing or mortality' but the majority of people, unfortunately, don't have that luxury; they are surviving with jobs they hate to put food on the table tomorrow.
I think about recent revelations from the government confirming uap's and I just hope they are recovering our follies to help another emergent dominant species. I want anything good to come from our greed.
Im from a very poor country India. Living in Spain. The poorest of my nation, living in my country, have tremendous hope, and they resist death and destruction everyday - because they have nothing much else. Religion or no religion, this anthropocentric view of life is finished... Adios

Thanks Heather ...and yes I loved his 3 areas too. And yes I agree, Michaels response re his grandchild was quite moving wasnt it.
Well done for making this Michael. I'll be sharing it widely.
