In this episode we have a jam session discussing truth. You may have heard some of the tunes or stanzas before, but not in this rhythm and order.

In this episode we elaborate on some of the ground questions of being a human being. What are we and were are we coming from and what if we are not coming from anything, would that mean that we have always existed and will always exist. Such cosmological questions often unfolds when death becomes part of life. Life understood as a small universe starting with a bang when conceived and ending with another big bang called death.

In this episode, we elaborate the relationship between human and divinity. In the beginning of the episode, we believe we need some kind of understanding of what divinity is and what human is. But we end up, thinking that maybe the relationship can be experienced just by raising an awareness towards such a relationship. Underneath this discussion is a search for a common universal narrative of the divine that could incorporate all kind of religious or non-religious existence.

In this episode we discuss if history has a course or not and if this course are of progress or decline. We further discuss what possibility human existence has to develop a good society. Could such a society be based on facts or do we need a narrative based on faith? Underneath these discussions are the question of what is human being and what kind of potential do human have to actualize our faith and facts in an ever changing reality.

In this episode we explore the value of historical knowledge could have to present being and even the future. Based on the epic dimension of human being, what kind of power provides knowledge from the past? We touch upon different dichotomies like, spirit and matter, trust and criticism, origin or progress, and love vs suffer as sources of creativity.

In this episode we continue to discuss what forms of transformation we believe to be done in school.

In this episode we discuss the idea of abolishing school. Is this a good idea or is it a dangerous one? Maybe we need that dangerous idea to keep the meaning of school alive and not turning the school into a factory to produce children as cogs in the society machinery?

In this episode we have the pleasure to listen to our guest Lasse Thoresen. He is a composer and a researcher in the field of music. In our podcast he connects the creation and listening to music both to Athens and Jerusalem. Please, check out his music!
