The Seed of a Million Years

These six one hour reads were very good and along the same lines as always, with the last chapter being very moving. The way he expands on our “inherited” knowledge and beliefs is fundamental in these talks. These talks were, I would say, his homeland “swan song”, and he seemed to be doubling down on emphasizing how important it is to know ourselves.

Attention!: I found the first “typo” in over fifty years of reading his works. Maybe the “foundation” hasn’t been using proof readers with a good foundation in English? Page 67, mid-page… “their” should be “there”. He wasn’t referring to anyone. He was using and adverb not a adjective. JRB
