Starscapes

In this episode we investigate the problems of light pollution and the subsequent disconnection from the beauty and mystery of the night sky.  As a consequence, much of humanity finds itself disconnected from its own roots, from a regular connection to awe and wonder, as well as a major wellspring of meaning and mystery.  Going further, we explore humanity's fascination with the stars and what the heavens meant on a symbolic level to ages past.  Finally, we touch briefly on the origins of astrology and elements of Jewish Cosmology. And how perhaps the medicine our culture most desperately needs today can be found in the rediscovery of mystery, humility, and wonder--by simply turning off our screens and turning towards the starry sky.
