This was a poorly done recording of a seminar (?) where the audience questions and comments could not be heard or understood. That made the author's responses feel disconnected, unorganized, lacking and incomplete. This went nowhere. When the author changed format to a non-interactive "speech" format, he still went 'round and 'round. I couldn't gain insight from this recording.

This lecture is a great prologue to his book Care of The Soul. He talks a bit about some of his finer points in the book that are so profound and time consuming to understand. Great summary!
