251. Soloepisode - Integration, collapse, sense fullness, relationally and it's already happening

In this episode Amit takes a moment to reflection what is happening. A short list of deep topics. He speaks of integration - being an integrated human being that through his or her complexity was born to live into this humanity. He speaks of the collapse, how it is already here but also that which is beyond. That is already here. There is an innovation and provocation to live sensful rather than meaningful life. Is it so that meaning is a consequence of meaning? Amit speaks of Relationality, self determination and of course Ada - you already got it! Thanks for coming along in 2024. Looking forward to what 2025 has to bring.
