Richard Tarnas, PhD Interview and Live Q&A

Richard Tarnas explains humanity’s sense of separation from the  natural world through a philosophical and historical perspective. This  disconnect has resulted in the destruction of the Earths ecosystem,  which Richard refers to as a crisis of consciousness for both  individuals and the collective. He observes how Stan’s work with  psychedelics and exposure to Eastern philosophies allowed him to see the  archetypal nature of non-ordinary experiences, and note the  similarities to ancient spiritual traditions. This rendered Stan's  approach “psychiatrically grounded and spiritually informed.” Seeing how  the traumas underlying Stan’s 4 Basic Perinatal Matrices are reflected  in humanity’s fear of mortality, the fear of the feminine, and our need  to control nature, Richard believes humanity is poised for a collective  death/ rebirth experience.
